I needed to explain myself first.

I didn't say spread your leg.

I tried to make Karuizawa calm down. But she became paranoid and feard on everything. She talked and talked. And everything became darker and darker.

But I did anything that she thought I would do.

I didn't know who Karuizawa thought I was.

But I was only a normal student. Well, except I was lucky as hell.

I could be angry too. Since she never stopped talking, I decided to tell her; "Stop spreading the word!"

But my voice was so low compared to her. So she didn't hear when I said stop.

However, when I started the word "spreading", my voice was louder. Because I was shocked when I saw something on Karuizawa's white leg.

It was a spider!

Because of shock, my tone became louder.

I changed my word because of shock too. "My leg!!" It was what I want to scream.

"" This was what I want to say.

Therefore, from Karuizawa's perspective, she heard that I spoke;

""

Ok. Everyone understood this. If you understood, comment on this paragraph to tell me.

Good. Let's story keep going.

...

The spider was still on Karuizawa's leg. But she didn't recognize it.

"What do you mean by that?" She stuttered.

I couldn't say anything because I was too fearful. That spider crawled on her white bright thigh that tempted me to touch it--No! I had to fear the spider! Not the horny time.

All I wanted for Christmas wasn't you, but hoping this spider crawled away immediately!

Wait? Why did Karuizawa start spreading her leg?

"I didn't admit that I was bullied by you--"

That spider looked at me with its eight eyes. What a creepy.

"I just was threatened by the rascal who holding my weakness!"

Did Karuizawa say something? I had a ringing in my ears because of fear.

"It's fine though. It isn't the first time that someone forced me to do something. Do you know what will happen when the humans find out the fact that they can do nothing with their power?"

I was pretty sure that Karuizawa said something. Maybe I should pay attention to her---Wait! The spider was moving. Look at their creepy hairy legs. Argh!!!!!! Lord Buddha help me!

"They will stop defy. I'm going to be destroyed. I think like a robot. I can do nothing. Can't scream or fight. Just---"

The spider was crawling nearer. I stopped defy. Ah. I'm going to be destroyed. I think like a robot. I could do nothing. I was too fearful.

"Hey. I'm talking. Are you listening to me?"

Ah! It came! It came!

Karuizawa looked followed my eyes and saw the spider crawling on her leg. She raised her eyebrows and grabbed it over.

"Oh. Why are you here?" She talked with it.

"Get it off. " I said.

Karuizawa turned to me with surprise. "Hm. Are you scared of it?"

"No. Actually yes. Actually, fucking yes."

I did the wrong move now.

Karuizawa grinned when she heard that.

"Come on. Isn't it cute?" She reached her hand with that disgusting insect to me.

"Cute your ass. " I said and stepped back. "At least, be scared of it."

"How on earth will I be scared of it? When I was bullied, I found it on my shoes twice a day. " She grinned. "M0! Ayanokouju-Kun. Why don't you tell it to spread its legs? It has 8! It will fill your desire!"

"Get it away from me, please!"

"Oh! I'm sure you like it. Come on, I will make you show your love on your poker face!"

If I could show any expression, it was fearful.

"Oops!" Karuizawa pretended to throw the spider at me.

"Wah!" I flinched and fell---

On Karuizawa.

We fell down to the floor and I found that I was on Karuizawa's body. The spider flew away from her hand and claimed to the wall.

"Sorry---" I stopped my words after finding out that Karuizawa's shirt was pulled up by chance and showed me her belly.

And the scar.

It wasn't just any skar. It was 2 feet in length and apparently that someone who made it want to kill her.

Karuizawa's eyes opened wide.

"Get out of me you rascal!!" She screamed. I almost jumped off her. Karuizawa pulled her shirt down immediately.

She looked at me with vengeance eyes. "Sasuwa Ayanokouji, Buta Yarou Ne! You didn't just blackmail me, you also harassed me!"

"First, I'm not dating the bunny girl Senpai, no matter how much I want, I don't have a cute sister in panda's pajamas too. So I'm not Buta Yarou. Second, I did nothing to you. "

"But you said you tell Manabe that I was here!"

"It's an accident!"

I started telling her about my and Hirata's plan. And how everything went out like this. After telling it, I needed to admit that it was my full fault.

"It is your full fault. "

Thank you for warning me again, Karuizawa.

"Ok. So you won't force me to be your tool. Command me and make me grow the romantic feeling to you?"

"I don't know where you get those ideas. But nope. I don't have that in my mind."

What kind of monster would do something like that?

Finally, Karuizawa sighed in relief and sat down.

"Oh, what about---"

"If you said about your past, I promised to Hirata that I won't expose it."

"Can I believe you?"

"Well, you can."

Karuizawa Kei was stopping for a minute.

After the forever passed, she started crying again.

"I ruined it. I ruined it. " She said. "Now, everyone will know my secret! Manabitch will make sure that everyone knows!"

She turned to me. "Are you sure you can't blackmail them or something?"

"We don't do that in this fanfic. And, actually, You are the wrong person in the first place. If you said sorry to that girl, everything will---"

"I apologized to her already!"

"Hm?"

"I leave the note that says sorry for bumping you to that girl named Rika! So I am very confused when they blamed me."

It was so familiar.

"Wait a minute. Did you put your name on the goblet of Fiyaaa---I mean that note?" I asked her calmly. Literally calmly.

She nodded. "Of course, I put my name in it. Nakano K."

Oh! She was Nakano K.!

This was the biggest revelation! No one could guess this plot twist!!

(Canon Kiyopon: Are you sure this creature is me? You did something wrong, Author. Now spread your legs.)

I took a deep breath and said something more harshly than the times when I told the student president that His sister liked the waffle more than him.

"Are you stupid?"

"Hey!"

"Please, No one will know what the hell is Nakano K. Of course, that Manabe girl thought you didn't apologize yet."

"Come on! It's a cool name! You are the one who plays Nakano and Karuizawa joke!" And that joke was so lame.

"Oh! I also sent the note to you! How is the candy? I do it with myself!" She asked me excitedly.

"Ah. It's delicious. " I decided to not tell her I gave that candy to Hondo. "But seriously, Karuizawa. No one will know that you apologize to them. Why don't you tell them by yourself?"

Karuizawa lowered her eyes before rubbing her tears.

"There is someone else there."

"Hm?"

"Do you know what apologizing means? It showed your weak. The hunter never says sorry to its prey. Whenever you said it, you will lose your power. I can't let anyone know I say sorry---But I need to apologize to them too."

"But if you don't want anyone to know you are apologizing, that means everyone you apologize won't know you are apologizing too."

Karuizawa opened her mouth. "That---makes sense!"

Ah. This girl.

"And why do you try so much to be the hunter?"

"Because I don't want to be the old me anymore. " Karuizawa whispered. "The society and the jungle are the same. Kill or be killed. This is the rule. I need to make myself look strong. Treating my friends, shopping without fear, and---"

She stuttered for a while.

"Hurting someone else."

I got it now. This was why she said that unnecessary stuff like new clothes or cosmetics was be needed for her. It made her position stronger.

"But if you hurt other people, doesn't it mean you become the one who bullied you in the past?" I pointed out.

Karuizawa laughed and hid her face on her laps.

"Of course. I just realized it when I bullied Sakura-San. When she became outstanding, I found out she will become the new player in this game. If I can't show everyone that I am more powerful than her. My throne will be shaken. Sakura-San is the kind of person that can be easily bullied. Weak, unconfident, and can't communicate well.

"Then, I found that she recognize me to the old me. I was the same as her when I was in middle school. Of course, not those airbags. Mines was lesser than Mii-chan's. However, that was the reason why I was bullied, why those bitch chose me as their target. That the moment that I realize, I became one of them."

"Why don't you stop it? If you keep doing this, the only thing you will get is making a new monster."

This vicious circle would never end.

"I want to stop. Ayanokouji. But---I don't know how."

We were silent for a while in the dark cabin.

"It's weird. You know?" Karuizawa spoke out. "I never expected to tell everything of this to someone like you."

"I never expected to listen to all of this thing from someone like you too."

"Let me ask you something. Why don't you show any feeling to my scar?"

"Ah. I have many fetishes but I'm not into the scar though."

"I didn't mean that! I mean whoever sees my scar always shocked or surprised or----disgust." She mumbled.

"Have you shown it to Hirata?"

"No. I'm afraid that he will---"

I thought for a while.

"If I have to say, I was shocked at first. Not because of your scar. But it's about how cruel humans can be."

I never learned about the outside world.

I knew now why those failed productions of the white room were tarnished by this dirty world.

I wouldn't ask her what kind of bullying she got.

Her eyes said everything.

She didn't want to do it.

She needed to do it.

No.

She thought she needed to do it.

I stood up and grabbed my and her phone laying down on the floor and handed one of it to Karuizawa.

"Let's go."

Karuizawa raised her eyebrows. "Go where?"

"Redemption Arc."

...

I knocked on the door. After a second, Manabe opened it.

"You!"

She was shocked after seeing me.

"Good evening. Manabe. Are Takanashi Rika here?"

"Are you sure it isn't Takanashi Rikka? She is in class A---"

"No. Rika is right."

Manabe looked at me distrustfully. "Rika-chan. Come here please."

After a moment. Takanashi Rika walked to the door. She flinched when she saw me. I felt like she was the same kind of person as Sakura.

"Someone wants to talk to you. " I looked at my back. "Karuizawa."

Manabe and Rika lost the color out of their face when I said that name.

The little hand extended past my shoulder and handed something to Takanashi. She took it with confusion.

It was a note.

Sorry for bumping you-Nakano K.

I sighed before pushing Karuizawa to face Takanashi.

"Don't be shy."

"Shut up!" She gritted her teeth and coughed. "Takanashi-San---I'm sorry for bumping you."

Takanashi opened her eyes wide and looked at the note.

"I recognized it! You sent me the apology note before!"

"Wait! This means you apologized to her already!" Manabe cried.

Karuizawa nodded and pursed her lips before bowing to Manabe.

"Sorry for treating you bad before this. It's my fault."

They became silent.

Before Manabe walked to her bags.

And took the katana out of it.

"Holy shit! Shiho-Chan!" Rika screamed.

"I hurt Karuizawa with misunderstanding! I can face my father anymore! By the honor of Samurai, I will do Seppuku!"

"Oh. Shiho-Chan's family is Samurai for many generations, so they're very---" Takanashi explained.

"Stop explaining! And stop her!" Karuizawa screamed before running toward Manabe. My classmate holds Manabe's hand.

"Release me! I will do Seppuku!!"

"Ayanokouji! Get her sword!"

I grabbed the katana from Manabe while Takanashi and Karuizawa tried to push Manabe to the floor.

"I can live anymore! I am a villain!!"

"No, you not, Manabe-San! I bullied many people. I deserve all of this!" Karuizawa tried to make Manabe calm down.

"Shiho-Chan! It's my fault too. Don't die."

"Ok. If Rika-chan tells me to don't die. I won't die."

Ah, that was too easy.

...

After everyone calmed down, we started our conversation.

Manabe, Takanashi, and Karuizawa took turned to apologize to each other. They bowed again and again.

Since Manabe could guess that Karuizawa had been bullied before. There was no reason to explain to her what was going on.

It happened that Manabe was easy to understand than I thought.

"I won't tell anyone. Karuizawa-San. Of course, I will make sure that Nanami-Chan and Saki-Chan won't expose to. They are good people. " Manabe promised before realizing something. "What about that Machida-Kun? You promised to hang out with him, didn't you."

Karuizawa nodded with worried. Since she and Manabe understood each other. Karuizawas didn't need Machida to protect her anymore.

"I think I must go with him. I promised him."

Takanashi raised her eyebrows. "Didn't Machida-Kun have a girlfriend? Rikka, my twins, told me that. But I advise you do not fully believe her. She also told that Sakayanagi-San's cane is the wand of fate that can destroy the world and she seals her power on her legs that why she can't walk properly."

Takanashi Rikka must be the very dreamer girl.

We came out of Manabe's room on 16.20.

I and Karuizawa walked into the hallway without saying anything.

Finally, Karuizawa was the one who started talking.

"Thank you. " She said.

"Your welcome."

"Let me ask you something. Ayanokouji. On the island, what are you doing with my panties?"

"Ibuki put it in Ike's back. Ike put it to me. I was panicked so I throw it into the forest. When I found it, it was dirty because of dirt, so I went to wash it in the river." I told her.

"You can just leave my panties in the forest or you can pretend to find them in the forest."

"And give you dirty panties? No, I'm the one who makes it dirty, I should be the one who fixes it."

Karuizawa was quiet before asking;

"Actually, are you a kind person?"

"Why did you think that?"

"You help me. Help me very much."

"I'm not the kind saint-like Hirata. I help you because I want to do a charity to increase my Poonya."

"What is Poonya?"

"Read the first volume."

Karuizawa giggled a bit. This was the first time I saw her laughing with a bright smile. Not deride someone.

"I always wonder what kind of person are you? I can't read you at all. Until now, I still can't."

I stared at her.

"I am the kind of the luckiest man in the world." And told her the truth.

Of course, she wouldn't believe me though.

"Um. It may be true. " Karuizawa shrugged her shoulder and walked to the stairs.

I turned my head to her.

"What did you say?"

"It may be true. " Karuizawa said. "How can't I believe the one who help me?"

She left me the sentences before walking up to the stairs.

I was frozen on the hallway and looked following her.

Author's note: Sorry for late. I was addict to Honest trailer and Konosuba so I wrote this chapter very slowe.

Also, I found the shock secret.

Remember Yabu Nanami and Yamashita Saki? Manabe's sidekick.

Ah. I don't think you will remember them. I had to check their name while writing this too.

Well. It happened that they were illustrated in the volume 8 too.

They are more friendly than I expected. I didn't realized them at first though.

But all I need now was the Manabe's light novel version. Although there were no hope now.
