Lily's pov

——————————

As I launched the last drone, I checked through my tablet if their movements and the quality were stable.

I don't need to charge them since these drones are automatically powered with solar energy.

Those drones will be recording everything through the cameras, and the moment they recognize my brother, I will get noticed through my tablets about his location.

It would have been easier if roads and buildings were still around instead of a massive forest.

Now, all I have to do is wait for my drones to notify me...

But there is one thing that has been bothering me...

How come that my brother was the only student who died?

They didn't even bring back his body!

The only thing they told me was that my brother couldn't come back from there...

Did he actually go to that monster combat or did some kind of accident occurred?...

I also heard that Hatsuko wasn't doing that good in this school...

And he was a trouble maker?

No, I don't think my brother would cause trouble! I'm sure he would rather stay alone in the back seats than drawing attention...

Wait...

Everything they said to me doesn't make sense!

They said something about him being a mixer and not being able to activate his own ability.

They knew that he wasn't strong enough to defeat any monster so how come they made my brother go there?

I'm sure they would have known about their student's power level.

Even if they knew why did they let that happen?

Was it intentional?

But, by who?

Who would do such a thing?

...

No... who wanted to kill my brother!?!

...

My hair was getting in my eyes from the wind as I was thinking about that.

I closed my suitcase and took a look at the view from up here.

*creak*

As I was watching the view, I heard the door opening.

[ Huh, there was someone here? ] ( Hanna )

I turned around and saw a girl with red hair and red eyes.

I'm not sure but I think I have seen her somewhere...

[ Wait, is that you Lily? ] ( Hanna )

How does she know my name too?

[ Who are you? ] ( Lily )

I asked her.

It happened again, how do the students here know my name?

The first one was that weird guy and now this girl!

[ Oh, I'm sorry... I don't think you remember me but I was your brother's friend! ] ( Hanna )

She said with a sad smile on her face.

I still couldn't remember where I had seen her from.

She claims that she is my brother's friend but I'm not sure by how true that is!

[ I used to hang out with him when we were young! I still remember you when you were so little! ] ( Hanna )

...

[ Is that so? ] ( Lily )

Even if she claims to be my brother's friend, then I need to ask her some questions!

[ How did my brother spend his days in this school? ] ( Lily )

This was one of the questions I wanted to know!

[ hmm... I would say, he spent most of the time alone but sometimes everyone would just start making rumors and make fun of him... ] ( Hanna )

Rumors?

[ What kind of rumors? ] ( Lily )

She started thinking for a bit before answering me.

[ I'm not sure myself but everyone seemed to hate him! ] ( Hanna )

Who started the rumors?

What were the rumors about... to the point of making my brother hated by everyone?

This girl knew about the rumors, but she didn't know what they were about?

No, there is a possibility that this girl is lying to me!

If she knew about the rumors, wouldn't she hate my brother just like everyone else?

Or this girl is simply lying to me!

[ What was your exact relationship with my brother? ] ( Lily )

I asked her.

She said she was Hatsuko's friend, but is that true?

[ We were...friends? ] ( Hanna )

She tilted her head as she said that.

[ What was my brother's ability? ] ( Lily )

[ ...A mixer? ] ( Hanna )

She replied.

I see...

This girl is stupid!

"Mixer" isn't an ability but a term used as an insult within this school.

The students here are something...

I think I'm wasting my time here with her.

*creak*

The door of the rooftop was opened once more.

[ Hanna, you were here? ] ( Tatsuya )

A tall guy entered here without a care.
