It may sound[r] conceited, but at my age, I guess I'm the type of "beautiful[r] woman" that they find interesting.[pcm] Honestly, I don't have the luxury to indulge in such foolish[r] conversations in my heart... but there's a part of me that[r] feels relieved in this casual exchange without any tension.[pcm] Teacher... a teacher, huh. Just pretending and "acting" like[r] that, but maybe there is a way of living like that too.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】陽子.png"] [夏野] "Satomi-sensei, can I talk to you for a moment?"[pcm] "Unexpectedly, I was called out from a different direction,[r] and I naturally looked up.

However, it seems that she had[r] some kind of information sharing with Detective Natsuno.[pcm] It occurs to me that the other day, Detective Natsuno was[r] suspicious about my identity and took the time to explain[r] the situation of the surveillance system in this town. It[r] might not have been a coincidence.[pcm] I don't think they understood who I really am, like Otsu and[r] the others, but it was clear that they sensed something[r] about me, an existence that suddenly appeared from the[r] outside.[pcm] The information provided about the surveillance cameras was,[r] in a way, a litmus test... to see who I really am and how I[r] would react... isn't it?[pcm] "Of course, it is entirely possible that it is a trap.[r] However, at the very least, Detective Natsuno is a[r] formidable enemy for Otsu and Sakagawa... An interfering[r] nuisance with no common ground."[pcm] Otsu's complaints and Sakagawa's troubles... based on that[r] premise, there is coercion and violence. At the very least,[r] Detective Natsuno and Otsu are at odds with each other.[pcm] Even if I can't become their ally... still, the only person[r] outside that I can have contact with right now is Detective[r] Natsuno.[pcm] Then, there's no choice but to rely on this one point...!![pcm] "Walking slowly down the hallway, trying not to arouse[r] suspicion, I make my way to the staff room."[pcm] [効果音 file = "【SE】引き戸.ogg"] [会話シーン file = "【背景】職員室(昼).png"] Opening the sliding door and entering... There, I saw[r] Detective Natsuno chatting with Professor Hazakura.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】葉桜先生.png"] [葉桜] "Oh, Satomi-sensei, good work! Sorry, I asked HR to come[r] out."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_やあ！.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__04.ogg"] "No, no, I can do this anytime... Natsuno-san, thank you for[r] your hard work as well."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] When I nodded, my eyes met with Detective Natsuno. His tired[r] gaze, with the corners of his eyes drooping, stared at me[r] intently.[pcm] [夏野刑事] "Good work. ...Satomi-sensei, would you like some tea?"[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】葉桜先生.png"] [葉桜] "Eh?"[pcm] [人物消去] "Professor Hazakura widened her eyes and let out a strange[r] voice... but I answered shortly, saying 'Yes, please'."[pcm] [音楽フェードアウト time = "1000"] [フェードＯＮ type = "黒" time = "1000"] …[pcm] …[r] ……[pcm] …[r] ……[r] ………[pcm] [音楽 file = "【BGM】夏野刑事のテーマ.ogg"] [会話シーン file = "【背景】体育館前.png"] "Same as the other day, in front of the gymnasium parking[r] lot.

She may seem rough, but she's a[r] thoughtful girl. I told her to speak up if she sees the[r] teacher in trouble. I'm glad it wasn't just my imagination."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_哀.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__05.ogg"] "Where is Natsuno-san going..."[pcm] [人物消去] Detective Natsuno puts his index finger to his mouth as if[r] to say "Do you know about me?"[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Well, after all that is over. From here on, it's just me[r] talking to myself. So, it would be helpful if you could nod[r] your head up and down or shake it side to side as you[r] please."[pcm] [人物消去] ...Perhaps there is no need to worry about Otsu overhearing[r] our conversation in this place. It's because Otsu didn't[r] know about the content of our previous conversation... But[r] still, I want to keep the conversation to a minimum, perhaps[r] as a precaution.[pcm] "Can I go along with this flow... Honestly, I'm confused.[r] But as I confirmed earlier, Detective Natsuno is my last[r] hope right now."[pcm] I have no choice but to go along with it.[pcm] I nodded without saying a word, and Detective Natsuno[r] responded with a small "yes".[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Is Satomi-sensei in a pinch right now?"[pcm] [人物消去] Nodding.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Is it related to the series of disappearances... the[r] missing persons cases that I am involved in?"[pcm] [人物消去] Nodding.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Is Satomi-sensei's sister also involved in the pinch?"[pcm] [人物消去] Nodding.[pcm] [音楽フェードアウト time = "1000"] I let out a deep sigh... Detective Natsuno also breathed[r] out. I could sense the heavy atmosphere lingering between[r] us.[pcm] "...It was only three questions, but it was enough. This[r] person is probably narrowing down the suspects in the[r] disappearance cases to some extent. No wonder Otsu is[r] frustrated."[pcm] Detective Natsuno... seems troubled, scratching his head[r] with a frustrated expression. He must be really[r] inconvenienced. To him, I'm just a woman who brought him[r] nothing but trouble.[pcm] [音楽 file = "【BGM】疑惑2.ogg"] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "This is a continuation of my soliloquy. I'm the only one[r] currently dedicated to this case. The higher-ups are[r] insisting on observing... Well, I don't really want to say[r] it, but it seems like they're receiving various benefits.[r] It's like they're getting something under the table."[pcm] [夏野刑事] "Well, it can't be helped since it's a backwater police[r] force in the countryside... The main reason I diligently go[r] to school is to at least prevent further damage from[r] occurring..."[pcm] Detective Natsuno gulped down a can of coffee.[pcm] [夏野刑事] "I have a feeling that the people behind this incident are[r] starting to wrap up this matter. It's difficult to continue[r] something like this for a long time in a country like Japan,[r] after all."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_哀.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__06.ogg"] "Is this matter... human trafficking?"[pcm] [人物消去] "I unintentionally blurted it out. Detective Natsuno widened[r] his eyes... However, he nodded with a resigned expression."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Probably, those guys intended to wrap up their work with[r] the last disappearance before summer vacation... Rui Asaka[r] was the last one. Do you know Mr. Sakagawa? It seems he has[r] submitted his resignation letter for the end of July."[pcm] [夏野刑事] "It's a story about persuading Vice Principal Otsu to[r] stay... Well, it seems like the plans have changed.[r] ...Regarding these two, does Shina-sensei also understand?"[pcm] [人物消去] I nodded in response to the question. ...It's too late to[r] talk about Otsu and Sakagawa. What surprises me more is that[r] Detective Natsuno has narrowed down the suspects to the[r] point of identifying individuals.[pcm] Mr. Sakagawa, the advisor of the swimming club, is in a[r] suspicious position regarding involvement in the case, but[r] for Vice Principal Otsu's name to come up... The fact that[r] that man frequently visits the police station might be some[r] kind of interference set up by Detective Natsuno.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "You might think it's too much for me to kidnap four people[r] in just six months, even if I'm leading the police on a wild[r] goose chase. The right thing to do would be to escape before[r] things get serious. But, I stayed at this school until the[r] new semester... Why do you think that is?"[pcm] [人物消去] "For the first time, I was asked a clear question, and I[r] pondered... Although I say that, there aren't many possible[r] reasons."[pcm] It's true that kidnapping four people from the same scene in[r] just six months is too much. No matter how you think about[r] it, it's bound to be discovered.[pcm] "In reality, I had been identified as a surveillance target[r] even before infiltrating, and while Professor Haruta is[r] still in a gray area, Otsu and Sakagawa were completely[r] black. ...The fact that they reacted sensitively to an[r] outsider like me and immediately targeted me is evidence[r] that they were aware of it."[pcm] In such a situation, there are probably two main reasons for[r] staying at school. Either there is no choice but to stay, or[r] there are benefits to staying despite the risks. At least[r] for me right now, I don't have enough information to[r] determine the former.[pcm] However...[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_不機嫌.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__07.ogg"] "Is it Emma?"[pcm] [人物消去] "It became a form of answering questions with questions, but[r] Detective Natsuno nodded as if to say 'exactly'. I couldn't[r] help but hang my head at his reaction... I didn't want it to[r] be true."[pcm] "I see... Emma. It has been confirmed by both Sakagawa and[r] Emma herself that she already has a relationship with[r] Sakagawa. There was no need to make her a hostage against[r] me, as she had already caught Sakagawa's attention."[pcm] The reason why Otsu and the others didn't leave school[r] during summer vacation is simply because there was "another[r] prey that seemed easy to take down."[pcm] That prey is none other than Emma.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_不機嫌.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__08.ogg"] "Did Natsuno-san know that Emma was being targeted?"[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Yes... No, actually. I just became certain of it a little[r] while ago. It seems that my sister, Satomi Emma, had a[r] close relationship with the last missing person, Sakagawa[r] Rui. It is true that I was cautious beforehand..."[pcm] [夏野刑事] "Excuse me, but I have investigated Professor Shijima's[r] background. It seems that you are also quite suspicious, but[r] it appears to be certain that you are from Yamiya. When I[r] asked Professor Hata, he also told me about your sister."[pcm] [人物消去] I couldn't help but frown. I never expected to hear Haruta's[r] name mentioned here.[pcm] That person is still not clearly an enemy or an ally... The[r] information itself is accurate, but it's a little suspicious[r] for them to appear at this timing.[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "So, I confirmed with my niece that the sister of the[r] teacher with a different last name, is close with Asaka. It[r] seems that my niece and the teacher's sister have known each[r] other for quite a long time. They were swimming buddies in[r] middle school, or something like that..."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_哀.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__09.ogg"] "I can't see the conversation..."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "Ah, sorry for digressing. Honestly, I'm not that interested[r] in who Shijima-sensei is, but I feel like the pieces of the[r] story are coming together too perfectly... Well, I just[r] confirmed it with the previous question."[pcm] [人物消去] Detective Natsuno lets out a deep sigh. ...I see, he didn't[r] have any certainty at all, but I confessed everything[r] voluntarily. ...Even though I'm in a desperate situation,[r] it's a frustrating situation.[pcm] "However, with this, I have also confirmed something. At[r] least Detective Natsuno is not an enemy to me in the current[r] situation... At least, that is the recognition I have as I[r] face this case. That much is clear."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】夏野刑事.png"] [夏野刑事] "…Regarding the confirmation of the previous conversation,[r] is it correct to say that Professor Shijima is certain that[r] his sister is in a dangerous situation?"[pcm] [人物消去] "I nod in response to the question about not asking for[r] details, but only recognition."[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_不機嫌.png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__10.ogg"] "...I had many doubts, but I became certain with Natsuno-[r] san's words... If Otsu and the others are looking for the[r] right timing to fold their work, it wouldn't be strange for[r] my sister to be eliminated at any time."[pcm] [人物消去] "If it is true that they postponed their retreat in order to[r] capture their prey quickly, then it can be said that Emma is[r] in a very dangerous situation. She is in a situation where[r] she could disappear from this town at any time."[pcm] "There is no time to spare. However, I have confirmed that I[r] am not alone and without support."[pcm] In that case...[pcm] [人物 file = "【立ち絵】サトミ(教師服)_しまった….png"] [サトミ] [voice file = "IM3s__11.ogg"] "Natsuno-san, I have something to talk about... If possible,[r] I would like your cooperation."[pcm] [人物消去] I decided to confess to Detective Natsuno about a certain[r] "plan" that I had vaguely formulated in my mind.[pcm] With his help, even if it's impossible alone, perhaps...[pcm] [音楽フェードアウト time = "1000"] [フェードＯＮ type = "黒" time = "1000"] …[pcm] …[r] ……[pcm] …[r] ……[r] ………[pcm] [フェードＯＮ type = "黒" time = "500"] [揺れ待機] [jump storage="シナリオ選択画面.ks"] [s]
