Kamishiro made a troubled face, tilting his head to the side at the question.

“Hmmm, I don’t think I can. After all, no one knows where they are…”

“No one knows…? So, they’re missing?”

“I wouldn’t call it missing, per se…” Kamishiro’s expression only became more and more
concerned, his tone of voice growing more serious to match, “The individual named Izuru
Kamukura isn’t a member of the regular school, the Reserve Course or the teaching staff. In fact,
I can’t find any mention of that person’s name anywhere in Hope’s Peak Academy… No boys,
no girls, no students that are presently attending or graduated.”

“…Huh?”

No mentions anywhere… it’s like they’re a ghost.

“I think the most likely possibility is… someone wiped the record clean. Nasty business,
honestly. I believe it would have been someone involved with the school… but not someone in
the inner circle, it would be too risky for them.”

“So then… there’s an accomplice within the school?”

“It’s strange, though: for as long I’ve been investigating it, I haven’t found a single student who
actually knows who this Izuru Kamukura is. The school began hiding them after the incident, so
it wouldn’t be strange if there were students who knew about them before it happened… But I
never thought there’d be no sign of their existence from the very beginning.”

“N-no way… They really are a ghost…”

“S-stop that! They’re not anything like a ghost!” Kamishiro puffed out his cheeks, seeming
displeased with the turn the conversation had taken.

“A-anyway…” He cleared his throat slightly and adjusted his expression to a more serious one as
he spoke. “No matter what the reason is, if we don’t find out who Izuru Kamukura is, we may
have no choice but to give up…”
