A dangerous thought flashed through Aikawa Kaze's mind. He instinctively looked toward a clear little river and took a small step forward.
Then a figure charged over at lightning speed. A pair of powerful arms wrapped around his waist, accompanied by a heart-wrenching shout.
"Don't do anything stupid, Kaze! Whatever's wrong, tell us! We can all help you!"
"???"
Aikawa Kaze froze, then hesitantly turned to look at the newcomer.
He had clearly checked that there were no signs of life nearby...
Oh, it was Panda, the cursed corpse!
That explained it.
No, wait, something was still wrong!
"Panda? What are you doing here?"
"You're still asking why I'm here... You haven't reflected on this at all!"
In a rare display of anger, Panda grabbed Aikawa Kaze by the collar.
"Why would you try to k*ll yourself?! When Gojo Sensei first told us, none of us believed him. I never thought it was actually true!"
"...You actually believed him?"
"Of course I didn't! But I just saw it with my own eyes!"
Panda narrowed his eyes, his gentle, adorable face filled with lingering fear.
"Have you thought about what would've happened if I hadn't been here just now?"
"Nothing would've happened..."
The corner of Aikawa Kaze's mouth twitched as he inwardly cursed Satoru Gojo's unreliability. That jerk had gone too far! He knew perfectly well that everything was a misunderstanding, yet he was still spreading rumors.
"This is just a misunderstanding. How much of what comes out of Satoru Gojo's mouth is ever true?"
"Then explain what you were doing just now."
Even though Satoru Gojo's credibility was in the negatives, the cautious Panda had still decided to observe him secretly first, just in case something bad happened.
"And how do you explain this photo?!"
Panda opened a group chat
