Hidan no Aria:Volume8 Epilogue
“Ar, are you a……”Cross-dress Student”……”
As I was too surprise, I blurted out a Butei term.
But Watson just looked down silently.
--The so-called “Cross-dress Students”, although it is rarely mentioned……it means a boy cross-dressing as a girl, or a girl cross-dressing as a boy in Butei High.
In Butei High, there are one or two students each year in order to investigate a crime under special circumstances, received permission from the Masters, cross-dress as boys.
From the looks of it……this fellow is a cross-dress student.
So to speak, there were some weird parts just now.
She has never take a look at those cool photos that Muto brings, and that sense of danger that I felt at first—I guess it’s the basic instinct of Hysteria mode.
Willingly wearing a girl’s uniform during the “Cosplay Cafeteria” event, taking into account his personality……it must be one of his tactics.
“The Art of War” that is learned during Inquesta class did say that “All warfare is based on deception, the true may be false, the false may be true.” A so-called fair war, is none other than some excellent criminal trick.
It means that the culprit not only didn’t cover up his own alibi, but make himself known to the victim—then act a calm attitude in front of the Butei and police.
This way, the police will assume that “the culprit will not let himself become a suspect”, and identify this fellow as innocent.
Watson who faked his gender, did not resist when wore the girl’s uniform……I guess it must be to prevent others from discovering the fact that she’s a girl cross-dressing as a guy.
(It can’t be true……)
Watson remained silent.
But her silence means that she acknowledges her identity as a female.
The mermaid is still sitting there, sobbing……sobbing……
Ah……she cried.
The way she is crying, no man can do the same. She is really a girl.
“Tohyama……why did you help me. Why did you help a person who intends to kill you……and before in school, made you fell into a dangerous situation……why……”
“……Go and ask the great person who established the nine Butei Law.”
“You must help a person in danger? ……Such……such a humiliation, I can’t stand it anymore……kill me! A Christian can’t commit suicide. It can be treated as an accident even if you killed me. You don’t have to obey by the Butei Law!”
“I ran out of bullets.”
The lethargic me laid on the floor spread out.
“I have bullets. They’re down there at the column, I’ve even hidden some blessed silver bullets.”
“Do you really want to die that much? Also, wouldn’t you beaten me if you’ve used them just now?”
“Those things aren’t allowed to be used on humans, although you’re half human half demon……”
Don’t say such rude words arbitrary.
So to speak……are there any bullets left?
If so, this time I “won the battle but lost the challenge”?
“I’m a……noble. If I lose, those before……”
Watson wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes with the back of his hand, spoke while looking at me who am lying on the floor.
“Since I lose, I’ll bear with every consequence willingly. I won’t resist whatever you do to me. Act as you please.”
“You, actually said such dangerous words. To the current me, you are just a girl.”
I flipped over my body with my back towards Watson and asked.
I don’t even have enough strength to climb up and preach.
“……But, why are you cross-dressing as a boy?”
“To get Aria to marry into the Watsons. If Aria can marry me, she’ll become one of the Watsons. This is why I was raised as a boy.”
“…………”
Coincidentally, the problems I’m facing now are of the opposite.
Karma is acting too fast. What happened to Aria finally happened to me.
“The social responsibility of a noble—for the honor of the English nobles, not only we need to succeed at the top of society……we also have to find a way to save the world silently. Where I am is a secret society where we practice for this aim.”
A society that saves the world from an unknown place without any reward.
Why does it sound like a place where the heroes of justice gather?
