Kagerou Daze Anthology Novel Ch. 2 - Locked Up With a Classmate
Locked Up With a Classmate
Author: KÅta (ćć¼ć) | Illustrator: Hanasaki Manio (č±å²ć¾ć«ć)
The incident occurred only a few weeks after I became a high school student, in the season where the smell of spring still remains.
When I asked myself why it happened, I was so upset that I couldnāt even answer. The view outside the window is dim, and before long it will be pitch black. And on top of that, it seems that the electricity is broken since Iāve been pressing the switch for a while with no sign of it working.
ā¦ā¦Why did this happen?
I held my head. Ahh, I think itās pretty rare for me to be holding my head like this, but thatās how different the nature of this ācurrent situationā is.
But itās okay because thereās a solution. With my heart murmuring, I look at her, wearing her red scarf, as she handles her cell phone.
āOh, are you going to contact someone?ā
āWellā¦ā¦ about thatā
Why is she avoiding eye contact? Sheās staring with unpleasant premonition in her eyes. And that brief comment is all she said.
āMy cell phone, I forgot to charge itā¦ā¦ the battery is dead.ā
While pointing at her phoneās pitch black screen that she turned toward me, Ayano makes an awkward smile. And our only remaining hope breaks, making a shattering noise.
ā¦ā¦Now, if you asked me what the heck happened, since Iāve calmed down a little bit I may be able to answer.
To put it simply, I am locked up in a room with my classmate Ayano Tateyama next to me. We are currently, in the present tense, trapped alone together.
