Chapter 4:

Killing beauty

Sakuragami Syndrome


A love letter from Manami-sama!! Goddess Manami!!! It can’t be real for sure. How could the president of the student council be in love with a fat… Well, I’m not fat anymore, but I’m a loser. Or that’s what everyone has been telling me all my life. Anyway!! I’ll just check it very quickly if it’s really her.

I changed my shoes and headed to the confession zone of our school. After crossing the corner, I saw it.

I- it-it’s rea-really Manami-sama!! But she’s with… Shizuka-san??? What are they both doing there?? Are they waiting for me?? Wait a minute!!! It couldn’t be… Sizhuka saw Manami-sama putting a love letter in my shoe-locker and now they are arguing about who should be my girlfriend??!! NONONONONONONO. That’s impossible!!!! But wasn’t Sizhuka dating this guy from class C?? What was his name… Kanoda!! Yes!! She’s Kanoda’s girlfriend. I heard a rumor about them being childhood friends and heading to a love hotel or something!! They are not fighting for my love it is obvious hahahahahah!!! But what are they doing??

“Is that him?? Really?? HEEEEEEEEEEYYY BUTAGAMI!!! Come here!!!”

Is Manami-sama talking to me?? Aaaaa… I would happily die now <3

*NO*

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!! Kira-san?? Eh?? Hello?? How strange… I heard his voice, but he’s not answering back. Anyway, let’s head to where Manami-sama and Sizhuka are.

“Hello Manami-san, Shizuka-san. I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation.”

“No worries, Butagami-kun!! We were just about to end our conversation here, right Shizuka??”

“Yeah!! I was about to go!!”

“Wait a minute, Shizuka-chan. I need you for a little bit more time.”

Eh?? Manami-sama is holding Shizuka’s arm so tight!! She has a powerful grip!!

“Then, Shizuka-chan. Bend on your knees and lick the bottom of my shoes!!”

Eh??

“Y-yes… Manami-san!!”

What is happening here?? Why is Shizuka-chan… Eh?? She’s licking it!! What the… ugh… this is disgusting… ugh… I can’t look at that!!

*LICK LICK, SLUUUUUURP, LICK, LICK, RERO-RERO*

“Yeah!! You are doing very well, Shizuka-chan!! Lick it till the soles of my shoes are crystal clear!! I smashed some cockroaches before and I didn’t wipe them at all. “

She what???!!! Ugh…

“Butagami-kun!! Don’t be shy and look!! You are going to miss it!!”

“I’m sorry, Manami-san… ugh… It's just that I don’t understand what is happening here at all!! It’s all too random!! ugh… And sadistic!!”

“Oooohh <3 I have never received such kind words before. You are a sweet-heart, Butagami-kun!!”

*BAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRFFFFFFFF*

“There it is!!! Good girl, Shizuka!!”

She pucked… ugh… I can’t look or I will… ugh…

“Please… Manami-san… Can I leave now??”

“You will leave when Butagami looks at you <3”

“Ple-please!! Butagami!! Look at me!!”

“Eh???? Don’t say it like that!! Say it the way I taught you!!”

“P-pl-please, marvelous dick Butagami!! Look at the despicable bitch and whore Ayu Shizuka!!

Eh?? What the hell is happening here!!! “Shizuka-san… what is happening here?”

I turned around and then it happened. It was so fast that I couldn’t even see it clearly.

*CRACK*

Shizuka’s head turned 344 degrees after receiving a lightspeed kick from Manami-sama. Her head spun while she was kneeling in front of Manami-sama. Her mouth was dripping puke, and she even peed herself.

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!”

“Hahahahahahaha!!! Look at her face!!! She even peed!!! Aaaaaaaaah. I feel relieved now.”

“Ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma… ma…”

“Butagami <3 Try to calm down a bit <3 You are so nervous.”

“Ma-ma-Manami-san!! You killed her!!”

“Uh?? Of course I did <3”

“But why??”

“Why?? Mmmmm. Well, she said that I was ugly. She gossiped with her friends about how overrated I am by all the boys in the school. I had no other choice but to kill her.”

Just for… that?

“Also!! I wanted to introduce myself to you!! You helped me the other day!!”

“I… helped you??” What’s she talking about now??!!

“You know!! You sliced those guys yesterday!! You helped me <3”

“Did they do something bad to you??”

“Not that <3”

“Then wha…?”

“Enough of chit-chatting!! Let’s move on!! I know you killed someone and you know I killed another one. So from now on, let’s be friends!!”

“Friends?”

“If you do not accept, I’ll have to kill you right here <3”

Kill… me??...

“Mmmm? Butagami-kun?? Why are you so quiet?? <3”

*Try to kill me!!*

*SWING*

“WOW!! That was a nice punch!! And what happened to your voice!! Don’t tell me that you too…”

*Enough of chit-chatting!!*

*SWING*SWING*SWING*SWING*SWING*

DAMMIT!!! She’s dodging everything so easily!! This shit ass Manami-shit!!! I’ll kill you before you can land a neck-breaking kick like that on me!!

“Hahahahaha!!! Butagami-kun <3 You are too slow!!”

*Vanish*

What the… WHERE IS SHE!!! She disappeared in front of me!! Don’t tell me!! Behin…

“Too slow <3”

*BLAM*

Ah!!! CRAP!!! She took me down in an instant!! What kind of monster is she!! How could someone as slim as her have such strength!! Don’t tell me that she…

“Now now, Butagami-kun <3 I have you immobilized. I'm on top of you and you can't move <3 So we will make a friendship pact!!”

*You bet!!! I’ll break soon from you and… DAMMIT!!!*

“Stop being so stubborn!! Just accept my friendship <3”

*Then what do you want me to do!!*

“Open your mouth wide and drink my spittle <3”

*DRINK WHAT???*

“Here <3”

*SLOW DRIP*

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL!!!!!!! Her spittle is slowly falling to my mouth!!! No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!....

Eh? I’m back!! Kira gave me my body back, finally!!! Eh? What is happening…??

*SLOW DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP*

Why is Manami-sama holding my arms? Why is she sitting on my… ON MY…!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? Oh no!!! At this rate she will notice it…!!!!!!

*SLUUUUUUUUUURRRRRPPPP*

“Come on, Butagami-kun!!! Open your mouth <3”

*Stay away from her, Roach-gami!!! Don't let her get closer with us!!!*

Kira-san?? What's happening here?? Why should I stay away from her?? What is happening here!!!

"Open wide and say, aaaaaaaah <3 Drink it so we can become friends."

*SLOW DRIP*

Drink it?? Eh?? To be friends?? I need to drink her spittle to be her friend?? Eh?? Is that even a punishment?? Aahh… Manami-sama’s droll is slowly approaching my mouth. Is this heaven?? Of course, the path to take here is easy.

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhh”

*SLOW DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP*

“AAAAAAAAHHH…”

*SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP*

*SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURPPPPPPPPPPPP*

Eh? She swallowed it?? Why she…??

“HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Look at you, Butagami-kun!!! You are such a pervert!!!”

“Eh?? No-not at all… I just wanted to… be your friend, so… I did what you told me and…”

“Now now. Don’t lie to me. Your little friend down here told me that you are a pervert <3”

She… she… SHE NOTICED IT!!!

“Now now!! Hop!! We are officially killing friends <3 And since we are in this together… Help me get rid of Shizuka’s corpse <3”

“Eh?? But… I didn’t…”

“Come on Butagamiiii <3 Can I call you Butagami?? Using the kun is a pain in the neck!!”

“Yea-yeah, of course.”

“Then!! Take her corpse and help me get her to the school’s old garbage incinerator. We need to hurry now that there is no one around.”

What the hell just happened here!!?!?!?!?!?!?

****

Meanwhile, the police were long gone from the Sakuragami Academy. They were studying the words of every student, especially Butagami’s.

“We are paying a visit to Oshino’s family. I have a little suspicion of something.”

“Really, inspector Yamazaki? What is it about?” Don’t you dare to say again that you want to know about Oshino Butagami’s diet!!

“Matsukawa. Have you heard about the Sakuragami Syndrome?”

“Eh? Not at all. What is that?” Sakuragami? Like the academy?

“How could you not know!!! Listen carefully!!! Because this is very important. You hear me???!!!! VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY important.”

*GULP*

I’ve never seen inspector Yamazaki like this!! What is that Sakuragami Syndrome he’s talking about?? Does it have something to do with the killings from 2 years ago?? This is important for sure!! I need to take notes about this!!

“The Sakuragami Syndrome is…!!”

*STARE*

*INTENSE STARE*

*SUPER INTENSE STARE!!!!!!*

“I can’t tell you more!!”

YOU DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING OLD SHIT!!!! “Sir, you said nothing about it.”

“That’s because I’m not allowed to tell you anything for now. I need to wait a little bit more. I need confirmation to talk about it.”

“What? Who’s not allowing you to say it? The confirmation from who? EY!! Inspector Yamazaki, wait for me!!”

And so, the detective duo set off for Butagami's house.

****

“Lalalala <3♪♪ Lalalala <3♪♪ Lalalala <3♪♪ Lalalala <3♪♪ Lalalala <3♪♪ Lalalala <3♪♪”

This is bad!!! She insisted so much on accompanying me home when we were incinerating Shizuka that I couldn't refuse. If I did, she surely would have killed me!!

“We-well we just arrived.”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH?? Butagami!!! Is your family rich???”

“Rich?? No-not at all!! Is not such a big deal.”

“You are joking with me!! This is the biggest house in the city!! How could you have maintained this secret for so long??”

“Well… that’s because I never had fri… never had frivolities!! Hahahaha…”

“Eeeeeh… Can I come in?? I want to meet your parents!!”

“Maybe another day. They must be tired of…”

*KILLING STARE*

KYAAAAAAAAAAH!!! Her eyes seem like they are about to kill me!!! I can’t refuse her!!

“Ma… Manami-san, by any means, would you like to enter?”

“YEAH <3 Thank you very much <3”

Of course… My hands are shaking like crazy!! I need to calm down. Everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright.

*CREEEEAAAAAK*

“Mom!! Dad!! I’m home!! A friend came to study!! Hello??”

“Butagami. There's a note here.

“Ah!! Let me see… It’s my mom’s writing. She may have gone to have dinner outside or some… thing???!!”

*Butagami-kun.

Your father and I went on a trip to France to revive our passion!! Don’t wait for us. We might stay more than a year here. You have enough money and food to survive till we get back.

Love, Mom.*

Eh? They left me here for a year? Eh?

“So… they left you alone in this enormous mansion <3”

“It seems like it, yeah.” Oh no, what should I do now? She’s going to murder me!!

“Then, I’ll live with you here for the time being <3”

“Eh?”

“We will make this house our secret killing base <3”

“But Manami-san… Your parents will be worried if you don’t go to your home for so long… He-he-hehehe.” I need to get her out of here!!

“My parents died when I was in middle-school… I’ve been living alone since then.”

“I-I’m so sorry to hear that, Manami-san. I didn’t mean you to remember it…”

“Don’t worry. Every night, before going to sleep, I think about how I killed them <3 It’s the best moment of my days <3 They should have bought me the plushie I asked for.”

She… killed… her… This is not the Manami-sama I know!! She’s so kind and very polite at school!! She’s a perfect goddess!! She definitely has her body, but her attitude is completely different from the real Manami-sama!! What she did with Shizuka-san made it clear that she was strange, but I thought that she may have just a dark side of her. Now it is clear that she’s completely another person aside from the Manami-sama I know!!

“Tell me, Butagami <3 Do you know how to cook?”

“I can cook rice balls and instant noodles.”

“Eeeeeeeh??!! Pupuuuuuuuu <x3 That’s a nowi!! From now on, I’ll be the one who cooks for us!!”

“I can’t let you cook, Manami-san.” She’s going to poison my food for sure if I let her alone in the kitchen!!

“Eh?? Do you have any problem with me cooking for you??”

*DEVILISH STARE*

“NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!! It's just that I can’t leave you to cook for me!! You are a guest here so the social rules say that I should be the one offering you food so…”

“Don’t worry about it <3 You're also a kitchen virgin, so leave it to a professional like me to cook for us <3 I’ll start making the dinner for tonight <3”

Also? How many types of virgin does she think I am?

*You are every type of virgin, Roach-gami!!*

Eh? Kira?? Are you there?? He’s not answering back!! He just communicates with me to mock me!! I hate my life!!

“Then… Butagami <3 There’s something I need to talk with you now that we are dear friends <3”

“Yeah, of course, Manami-san!! Whatever you need, I’m here for you!!” Eh? Is she going to declare her love for me?? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!! That’s not possible!! She’s going to say something like: If you talk about me being a killer, I’ll kill you. The same thing that Kira does.

“Then… Do you have it, Butagami-kun? The Sakuragami Syndrome.”

“The Sakuragami… What?”

*DING DONG*
