"...So.. you're here because there's a dangerous guys trying to harm you? Is it really not because of him?"

"Yes. We're just classmates. He was kind enough to invite me to his house. I'm glad I was able to make friends with such a nice kid" I answered for the tenth time to Usato's grandmother.

The director was currently abroad so there's only three of us, Usato me and this kind lady. After entering this mansion I've been trying to fix the misunderstanding of his grandmother, who is still staring at me with gentle but suspicious eyes.

On the other hand Usato was looking at me with eyes asking 'when did we become friends?' And that questionable look is exactly what this grandma is curious about. She must be thinking that I'm hiding our relationship because of Usato's sharp glare.

"She has no place to stay during New year"

Usato said bluntly. It was same as ordering his grandmother to let me stay here until end of the year. Of course the nice grandma didn't refuse.

"Of course she can stay here. Having no family must be difficult. If you want we can be your family too"

Is she planning to adopt me into her family or make me her granddaughter in law? Probably the latter from the way she was looking at me with such a suspicious gaze.

Fortunately the dinner finished faster than I thought and I decided go upstairs with Usato. Actually I was dragged by him for some reason, making the grandma chuckle quietly as she observes us gently.

"Where're we going?"

"To my room"

You've a very big house so can't you give me one room? What's the point of going to your room?

I couldn't say it out loud because he was kind enough to let me stay here. I'll just scream if something bad happens since grandma is with us as well as maids. And I'm certain he doesn't mean anything bad, because on his information he wasn't an yandere.

We entered his room. His room was just like his hair color, dark blue wallpapers and curtains. It was a room bigger than Sakura's but didn't have much furniture. It feels empty and cold just like it's owner.

"You should stay away from her"

Out of nowhere he started discussing about something I don't understand. I just stared at him in confusion, waiting for a further explanation.

"That girl is the one who spread your information"

"Who is that girl you're talking about?"

Actually I know who he's talking about. I just don't want to believe it, specially after hearing the fact that she was the mastermind of today's incident.

"The girl sits next to you"

Sakura.

Wait, doesn't he know her name?

"What makes you think it's her?"

"'The friend' that guy was talking about is someone I know. He's good at collecting information if you give him enough money"

I remember him texting on his phone continuesly earlier. And Kazuma was also talking about 'boss' and 'friend' today with his friends. I was almost certain that this two are one person.

An informant that only works for money. He must be very smart and good at scamming people with information. I can only think of one person who can do something like that easily.

"Ikeda Sora.. is that his name?"

"Yes, I think that was his name"

This guy is really bad at remembering names huh?

Anyway Sora still exists here. Even though in the second route we grew up together in the same orphanage, in this route it's like we're strangers. Does he still has a feelings for me in this route? Or see me as his simple kind older sister?

I don't want to find out. So let's just not meet that sadist kid.

"So did you pay money to know who did that?"

"Yes"

"How much?"

"About 3 million"

T-three million!!! What a waste of money?! It's the greatest waste of money I've ever seen if I don't include that bicycle. It would've been easier to guess it on our own.

"Why did you do something like that?! You wasted so much money for some useless information!!"

"I needed to find enough evidence to show it to you" he answered bluntly again like it's nothing. It doesn't sound convincing at all.

"You didn't need to. We're basically strangers. You should've just told me about that informant. Then I would've realized the truth easily"

"I thought you and that girl were good friends. If I told you about her crazy side without evidence you won't believe me easily"

"I know... wait, when did you know that Sakura is yan... I mean, has a mental problem? Aren't you guys close? Sakura even dragged you away that night as if you guys were couples"

"That night she threatened me"

"W-what?"

"She said I've to stay away from you if I want to live longer"

I felt like my brain stopped processing the current situation for a moment. Sakura threatened Usato, whom I thought was her crush to tell him stay away from me?

"She can even use knife better than me. I would've been dead if I was even a second late from dodging that knife. I still have a scratch on my wrist" Usato said and showed me his wrist which has a clean cut on it.

The fact that she can use knife and tried to kill Usato wasn't scary compared to the conclusion I made.

The one Sakura likes isn't Usato.

It's me.

It all makes sense. I don't have any friends expect from her because she scares them away. She even told me to don't talk with anyone on her birthday. If she only likes Usato then why warn me don't converse with other people?

She also wants me to stay away from Usato because I said nonsense about falling in love at first sight after I saw him at the hospital. Speaking about loving other person in front of a yandere is same as digging my own grave.

Now I'm certain.

I couldn't unlock this name because I didn't know the person she likes.

And this message proved that I'm right.

"Is Sakura the one who sent those guys?"

"No. She just wanted to know what happened to you in the past and allowed the informant to sell this information to others. I think it was another person who gave those guys your information. And the informant refused to sell that person's identity"

I barely managed to solve one puzzle but another one popped up.
