Chapter 11: Don’t think too much

"Really?!"

Shizuka and the others were shocked when they heard Kyoko's words.

When Isao went to his hands, naturally, they started to talk to each other, especially Kyoko, since there were so many things she wanted to say.

"Yeah." Kyoko sighed helplessly. "If they can believe me, then this won't happen..." Sitting next to Shizuka, she couldn't help but utter the complaints in her heart, especially when she thought about how no one would believe her and how Isao had almost stopped the disaster that happened in this school.

Isao had noticed something strange with Teshima and the male teacher and decided to throw them out of the gate. Kyoko, who was by his side, saw everything, but no one believed them when they explained what was happening.

In the end, those who didn't believe in opening the gate led into the current situation.

Hearing Kyoko's story, everyone couldn't help but fall silent, but inwardly, they were enraged at those who slandered Isao and Kyoko. If somehow they believed the two of them, then would all of this tragedy have happened?

Knowing that there was a chance they could be saved and those people who they knew wouldn't die, they couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"What are you talking about?" Isao, who had just finished washing his hands, looked at Kyoko curiously since the mood within this room was strange.

"It's about when you throw them out of the gate..." Kyoko told Isao what she had told everyone in gusto.

While Isao was speechless, he said, "Everything had happened. There is nothing we can do. More importantly, who would believe the story that those "things" would exist when this morning everything was normal."

"...."

Isao was right.

If they didn't see those "things" with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe this would happen.

Without much care about their reactions, Isao naturally sat beside Kyoko and asked, "Are you all planning to see your parents?"

"Yes."

The one who answered him was Takashi, the protagonist, who nodded at Isao's question.

"Can you call them?" Isao asked.

"No, they don't answer me..." Rei Miyamoto sighed and showed a worried expression when she thought that she couldn't contact her parents.

"My father is on a business trip, and he should be okay." Saeko believed in her father, who was a master of swordsmanship. Even if the world was like this, she knew that her father would be okay.

"How about you, Sensei? Hirano-Senpai? Takagi-senpai?"

"Oh, my parents live far away, so it is okay for me," Shizuka said ditzily.

"Like Busijima-senpai, my parents are on a business trip," Hirano answered flusteredly, feeling a bit nervous yet happy when he was mentioned.

"My parents... they should be okay," Saya said after she thought for a while with a helpless expression.

"Oh? Should they be okay? Are you from the military?" Isao asked curiously.

"No, my parents are... in a politician group."

"Politician?" Isao knew that wasn't the case, but it didn't matter. "Then, do they have weapons or a bodyguard group?"

"We-Weapons?! Bodyguards?!"

As for Takashi's decision?

Rei was sure that Takashi would follow her, and as expected, as she had made her decision, Takashi also agreed.

"Okay, then, it's decided that we are all going to Takagi-senpai's house for a stay."

"It's like a house visit!" Shizuka clapped her hands with a smile.

"..." Everyone.

"By the way, is the bus school still there?" Isao asked while looking at Hirano, who stood near the window.

"Ah, yes, it's still there," Hirano answered after peeking through the window.

"Let's get the bus to get out of here."

No one disagreed, and they all agreed with Isao's decision.

Everyone was ready, and they thought of going out, but Isao still sat lazily on the chair, looking for a remote. "By the way, does anyone see the remote?"

"...aren't we going to make an escapade? What are you doing with the television remote?!" Saya asked with annoyance, yet also helpless and jealous of Isao's courage and calmness. If possible, she wished him to share some of this mental fortitude with her.

"There is no need to be in a hurry. The bus key is on us. We can go there anytime, but before that, how about we learn what is happening first from the television?"

Anyway, as long as he was there, everything would be okay.

"Here's the remote." Rei found the remote and gave it to Isao.

"Thanks, Senpai."

Watching the two, Takashi tilted his head, but he didn't think too much since Isao or Rei had only known each other for a while, so it was impossible for a relationship to bloom between them, right?

As Isao was about to turn on the television, Saeko walked near Saya and asked, "What did you two talk about before?"

"Huh?" Saya looked at Saeko with confusion, but then she thought for a while and asked, "Did you think that his decision to come to my house was because of my talk with him before?" She was a genius, after all, so she could tell what Saeko wanted to talk about with her.

"Is that not the reason?" Saeko asked with confusion.

"Of course not." Saya snorted before blushing when she thought about her previous conversation with Isao. "Do you think he is that kind of guy? But to be honest, I am not sure what is on his head and... what is he planning to do?"

Unlike the others who wanted to meet their parents, what did Isao wish to do?

Was Isao really okay with staying at her house?

Or was it because he wanted to comfort her?

"Isn't he worried about his parents?" Saya muttered, wondering why Isao kept asking for others yet not thinking about his parents.

"He is an orphan," Saeko said softly.

"Oh..." Saya couldn't say a single word, but then she looked at Saeko and asked curiously, "Do you know him before?" She felt like... Saeko knew Isao somehow.

Saeko only smiled softly, but then, she didn't give her an answer since Rei's shocked voice attracted everyone.

"Wh-What is this...?"
