CHAPTERS
Whenever the carriage shook violently, Dennis Kahler’s knee joints jumped as well. He had no idea what road they were on. It was because his eyes were wrapped in cloth, blocking his vision. If he were to act on his usual temper, he would have torn off this cheap fabric immediately, but his hands were also bound. His own state was so ridiculous that he was on the verge of sneering at himself in self-mockery. To think the great Dennis Kahler would end up in such a state... After crossing his legs…- 102.4 K • Completed
- The gatekeeper replied indifferently. Dennis’s face crumpled. Marquis Quachi also knew very little about the school. That meant that even if he were to murder Vittorio, he would have to continue living the life of a teacher on the surface until autumn. Clutching his throbbing forehead, Dennis shook his head. “Never mind, just continue guiding me.” The hallway was silent. It was midnight on a Sunday, and the semester had apparently started just a fortnight ago. Dennis stared intently at the…

- He woke up in the dormitory of ‘Volè’. The students shared rooms in pairs as a rule, but the teachers had rooms to themselves. As the sweat cooled, he felt a sudden chill. Dennis, having managed to sit up in the dark, tried to focus on the presence outside. Someone was pacing in front of his room. Dennis, who had hastily thrown on the shirt he had carelessly tossed aside, pressed his ear to the door. It was early dawn. Dennis listened for the presence outside for a while, but the hallway beyond…

- As he tumbled across the old wooden floor, Dennis stared blankly up at Vittorio. His vision, which had momentarily blurred, gradually cleared. Vittorio sometimes used a very friendly and affectionate tone, but his expression was usually merciless. Even now, he could not read his face. Judging by his unwavering eyes, he was lacking something human. Noble things like compassion, conscience, and morality... His testimony was entirely false. It was Vittorio who had been abusing a fellow student named…

- Dennis stared blankly at Yan. If Vittorio Bonaparte was a sadistic psychopath, Yan was entirely inscrutable. There was no way his motive for showing such incomprehensible kindness was pure collegiality. Moreover, the reason he was even giving meaningful advice to Dennis, who was suspected of being a prime suspect, was... Dennis suddenly recalled the events of a week ago. It was also Yan who had pulled Dennis from the mire as he was grinding his teeth, soaked in Vittorio's urine and bizarre…

- Dennis stared blankly at Yan. Unconcerned, formal applause poured down on Dennis. That bastard Guiterie even winked at Dennis. Dennis, just like with Vittorio, wanted to smash his nose in. Amidst the students chattering busily amongst themselves about the regular performance, Laurent was glaring only at Dennis. Dennis, too, did not avoid his discontented gaze and watched him. The look in his eyes, boiling with hatred and anger toward Vittorio, and suspicion toward Dennis, was not half…

- Laurent abruptly intruded into the hollow line drawn between the students and himself. Dennis even felt a faint sense of kinship with him. Vittorio was a god, Laurent a human. If Vittorio's dance grabbed the audience by the scruff of the neck and slammed them into the realm of art, Laurent, though less seasoned in comparison, earnestly expressed a refined beauty. "Remitte." "...Yes?" "I liked your dance because it was human." Laurent's eyes widened in seeming bewilderment. Dennis pushed…

- To Dennis, Vittorio momentarily felt like a butcher. In fact, he looked very skilled. Vittorio poked at the corpse that, until just a moment ago, had been called 'Laurent' with the tip of his foot. Kicks that were no different from venting anger followed. Even after Laurent's limbs had gone completely limp, he did not stop the assault. Laurent, tumbling on the floor, was a pitiful sight. Without taking his eyes off Laurent's body, Vittorio asked Dennis. "Why didn't you resist?" Dennis twisted his…

- Leaning crookedly against the door, Dennis scanned the space given to him with unsettled eyes. The window was half open. It had been pouring all afternoon... Dennis approached the windowsill beyond the bed and was struggling to close the window. A strange card was placed neatly on Dennis's desk. How had he only just discovered it? It was a thin card, similar in color to the walnut desk. The envelope had been torn open, as if someone had already checked it. The only person who would send a card to…

- Since Vittorio was the sole culprit, he was brazen. However, he had a bit of a fever from being in the rain. He tried to shake it off, but in the end, Dennis was the first to leave the classroom as soon as the class ended, and he was forced to visit the scene of the incident. Laurent's picture was posted over Eric and Violette's faces. Unluckily, Dennis was involved in every single death. And yet, he hadn't been able to lay a single finger on Vittorio, the one he most wished would die. Dennis stared…
