Editing The Unexplored Summon Blood Sign:Volume3 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 3===

They had to move classrooms for third period, so Kyousuke was walking down the hall at the end of the short break. He saw Student Council President Benikomichi Fuuki walking the opposite direction with her long black hair tied together at the end.

She seemed to have noticed him.

She was wearing her gym outfit, so she likely had gym class next.

“Hi, Shiroyama Boy. If you’re cooking something for home ec, call me afterwards.”

“My elective science is physics. We’ll probably just be clacking together metal balls suspended by strings.”

“Oh, that’s too bad.”

“I hear they’re making popsicles in chemistry. It’s part of an experiment where they sprinkle some salt in chunks of ice to lower the temperature below zero.”

“Oh, c’mon!! It’s not too late, so go see if you can change electives! And I really want a popsicle now!!”

A distant look entered Kyousuke’s eyes as he wondered if she would really be willing to eat a popsicle made with the school test tubes that probably had not been properly washed.

Then Benikomichi Fuuki’s cellphone vibrated.

Her expression clouded over a little when she checked it.

“What is it?”

“Well, I’m not sure why, but ''some neighborhood kid'' has really taken a liking to me. Honestly, and I told him to stop using his phone at school. I might have to teach him a lesson later.”

“…”

Kyousuke silently narrowed his eyes, but the student council president failed to notice.

“I’m really more into…y’know, an older, hardboiled kind of guy who looks good in a trench coat and drinking some whisky, but I guess you can’t always get what you want.”

As she spoke, Benikomichi Fuuki put her phone away.

But her gym outfit had no pockets, so it looked more like she was just sticking it into the side of her bloomers.

“By the way, Senpai, I’ve always wondered why the girls still wear bloomers here.”

“Hm? It isn’t that unusual in Toy Dream schools.”

“That’s not really an explanation.”

“Hah hah hah. This city is meant to make kids’ dreams and adult’s hopes come true.”

“That’s still not an explanation!!”

Without solving the mystery for him, Benikomichi Fuuki waved goodbye and left.

She had been an Illegal vessel who had been prepared to destroy the world’s current system to achieve her goal, but now ''that incident had never happened in the first place.'' He was not entirely sure if she was still registered with Illegal, but she was at least no longer working to take anyone’s lives.

And…

“Shiroyama-san.”

Someone called out to him from behind.

He looked back and saw a girl with short black hair.

He had once seen this somehow gloomy older girl listed as Umie Shouko in a newspaper article and heard her referred to as the rumored Rainy Girl.

But now no gravestone bore her name and she was nothing more than a living girl who attended school like normal.

“Are you on your way to your next class?”

“I have my science elective next.”

“Oh, an elective… Then do you know where Ryouko-chan went? I want to give her this.”

She held an English-to-Japanese dictionary. She must have borrowed it from someone she knew. The same thing could be loaded on a smartphone for only two or three thousand yen, but there were still rules banning phones during class.

But that was not what caught Kyousuke’s attention.

“Ryouko…?”

“Um…oh. What if I called her the Librarian?”

“Oh!! …Ryouko?”

The answer seemed to confuse Kyousuke. It did not sound right to him.

“Librarian-chan has biology, so she’s on the third floor of the new building.”

“I see. So she’s taking biology, the one science a literary type can get through with rote memorization.”

There was nothing more to discuss, so Kyousuke waved goodbye and started to leave.

But then Umie Shouko whispered something to him.

“Keep looking after her for me, ''Mr. Bunny.''”

“Hm?”

He looked back, but the girl simply waved and walked down the passageway leading to the new building.
