In the early morning, I arrived two hours earlier than usual after recollecting what I had forgotten yesterday, and once inside the infirmary, a broad sigh emanated from me.

What a waste.

The woman I left hanging yesterdayBarlettahad met her demise by now.

Envy was still waiting for me underneath her corpse, and its whole body quivered as soon as it sensed my presence in the infirmary.

I had been looking forward to this quite a bit, though.

Her wide-open eye sockets were devoid of eyeballs, and the way her mouth was gaping open was somewhat humorous, reminiscent of a marionette.

In all likelihood, her internal organs were practically non-existent in her body. In the past, I had once heard that a human being who was suspended in midair for an extended period of time would be subjected to gravitys pull for 30 minutes, mainly in the eyeballs, and each of the internal organs would be pulled by gravity and all would fall out after about five hours. At the time, due to dealing with the aftermath and not believing this dubious tale in the first place, I had never experimented with it, but now that the convenient cleanup method of Envy was available, I finally figured I would run with the concept. Irrespective of the truth of the rumors, I understood that a person suspended in mid-air would eventually die of cardiac insufficiency. The rest was just a matter of taking the time to appreciate and relish the process of it but

In any event, grieving was of no help.

Releasing a sigh, I began to dispose of the corpse. Though that being said, all that was required to be done was to untie the ropes and let the remaining corpse be preyed upon by Envy. It only took 20 minutes to carry out this task.

Yesterday was a day I truly dreaded.

In the chair exclusively for me, I rested my weight heavily on the back of the chair. Perhaps because of my inadequate sleep, a cloud of residual drowsiness was creeping into the back of my head, like a haze.

Phew

After my escape from Hansas store yesterday, things had been a real struggle.

And to top it all off, I had perfectly exposed my bare face to that individual.

Regrets for stepping through Kafkas door at that moment were absent. I couldnt deny, though, that I wondered whether there may be a different strategy that might be more successful. There was no sense in regretting it, yet I was still struggling to organize my mind.

The fact that I am still in the same circumstance as I then did not imply that it cannot be reversed. I can at least somewhat make up for it from here. Addressing what followed should take precedence over what had occurred.

A part of my rational mind whispered to me, and I shifted my mindset to concur with it. Reflection can have its place later. For now, I should purge my mind of extraneous emotions.

Being a rational monster, detaching my mind and body from each other was not so challenging for me.

The first thing I needed now was a disguise that would serve as the schools teachera third-party teacher by the name of Kanaki Taiga, who had learned of yesterdays incident through word of mouth. Many of the pupils in my class belonged to Kaguya and had strong links to the Garrisoned Corps. Determining how could I interact with these pupils in the same manner as usual was my first task.

My apprehensions proved to be groundless.

After an uneventful day, I was on my way home from school with my seminar students, Eto and the others.

It was then that I spotted a stunning beauty in jet-black color leaning against the school gate, which unwittingly compelled me to freeze in place.

Hi, Teacher Kanaki. I have been waiting for you.

You are

The woman with the corners of her mouth turned up alluringly at the sight of meViper Felt, and her eyes narrowed like a serpent after noticing my reaction.
