Kagerou Daze Anthology Novel Ch. 2 - Locked Up With a Classmate
Locked Up With a Classmate
Author: Kōta (こーた) | Illustrator: Hanasaki Manio (花咲まにお)
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 couldn’t 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 I’ve been pressing the switch for a while with no sign of it working.
I held my head. Ahh, I think it’s pretty rare for me to be holding my head like this, but that’s how different the nature of this “current situation” is.
But it’s okay because there’s a solution. With my heart murmuring, I look at her, wearing her red scarf, as she handles her cell phone.
“Oh, are you going to contact someone?”
Why is she avoiding eye contact? She’s staring with unpleasant premonition in her eyes. And that brief comment is all she said.
“My cell phone, I forgot to charge it…… the battery is dead.”
While pointing at her phone’s pitch black screen that she turned toward me, Ayano makes an awkward smile. And our only remaining hope breaks, making a shattering noise.
……Now, if you asked me what the heck happened, since I’ve 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.
