＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 52

Recordak(4)

Recordak’s management control room. The entire prison is monitored by hundreds of CCTVs, and it is particularly quiet today. Normally, 30 guards work in three shifts, but only five remain to manage the College Board’s special activities.

“Hwaaaam… … .”

The work itself is also neglected. The guards just lie on their chairs, yawn, play games on their smartphones, or stare blankly out the window.

“… … “Look at the rain outside.”

One of the guards muttered with droopy eyes.

The falling rain is a bit unusual, but there is nothing to worry about. First of all, the students at Magic High School are just students, but they are as strong as most prison guards, and above all, they also have ‘watchers’ from the University Association dispatched to them.

Bang- Bang- Double kill-

This is the person sitting behind me playing games on his smartphone. A combat agent doing his job.

“Oh right. A storm warning was issued 15 minutes ago.”

The head guard frowned at the new guard’s words.

“15 minutes? “Are they idiots from the Meteorological Administration?”

Whiiiiiii—— Just then the wind picked up.

Heavy raindrops were hitting the window, and things like fallen leaves were sticking… … In a moment.

————.

Suddenly the whole world turned white. A distant light filled up without any warning, and a dazzling flash of light rushed through the glass window.

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch——!

The roar of thunder echoes late.

After that there was a blackout. All the devices turned off at once and darkness fell.

Boom- Boom- Triple kill-

There is only the sound of smartphone games and the light of the screen flickering slightly.

“ah. what is this.”

The guards immediately stood up.

“ah. iced coffee. Can you hear me? Oh, the radio is not working. hey. “Call me.”

“I can’t even use my phone? “It doesn’t spread.”

Both the smartphone and the walkie-talkie were not working.

“It looks like a magic storm. “Isn’t it X?”

Magic storm. This is a phenomenon in which magical energy swirling in the atmosphere interferes with the transmission and reception of radio waves.

“It will be restored in 5 minutes, guys. They must have gone to the self-generating room below, so wait.”

“Oh, right?”

I calmed down again after hearing the words of the chief guard.

Well, there’s a watcher here too, so something could happen.

Tiriririn— Tiriririn—.

The sound of a bell suddenly ringing in the dark. The guards all looked around.

“hello.”

It appears that the monitor received a call from someone. After all, let’s be quick.

“Then let’s start right away?”

The watcher said that and stood up. He put his smartphone to his ear and picked up a bag of snacks on the desk.

The new guard asked curiously.

“Watcher, you can talk on the phone? Was that phone specially made? “Ours is all working.”

“… … .”

Then the watcher looked at him without saying a word. There was something eerie about the dull expression.

The guard smiled bitterly and scratched the back of his neck.

“haha… … “Is this a bit off topic?”

“Who did that?”

the watcher asked. It was a meaningless question.

“what… … yo. this?”

The guard responded in confusion, and the guard blinked and asked again.

“Who said that? “I am the watcher.”

“… … yes?”

“I was just here. “Did I say anything to you?”

“No, that’s it… … .”

The guard looked at the side of his neck. [Observer’s Certificate: Holden Crawford] was hanging.

At that moment, goosebumps ran down the guard’s back. Chicken skin bloomed all over his body.

different.

The face.

If you look closely, you can tell right away.

The guard swallowed his saliva and placed his hand on the pistol at his waist. The guy who I thought was the watchman put his cell phone in his pocket.

“who are you-”

-The situation was resolved at the moment of shouting.

* * *

——5 minutes ago.

Rekordak’s quarantine zone.

“… … “How much did you hear?”

Amidst the faded lights flickering, Elise asked.

“what.”

I heard everything but pretended not to know. Elise quickly changed her question.

“For what reason did you come here?”

“To find treasure. “Aren’t you here to find treasure too?”

Elise touched her eyebrows in response to her somewhat natural answer.

“Yes, but… … Have you ever been followed?”

“what? “Do you have an axe?”

“ax… … party?”

Elise muttered with a shocked expression on her face.

“You should be a little quiet. “He sneaked out alone, so I thought I found out something and immediately followed him.”

“Yum… … sifter?”

A blood vessel popped out on Elise’s temple.

“uh. You left the door open too. “If you open it, you have to close it.”

Of course, Elise cannot close the door. Because I’m claustrophobic.

“okay. Okay, turn around and leave. “If you go now, I won’t have any problems.”

Elise pointed to the exit. I ignored it and walked towards it. Elise waved her hand as if trying to stop him.

“Stay right there. Would you please stop coming? “Your face makes me sick.”

“Either throw up.”

She glared at me, but I just stood side by side and looked into the cell.

“hmm… … .”

As expected, ‘he’ was there.

There was an old friend of mine.

“… … .”

I looked at him. He also looked at me. Without saying anything to each other.

“I told you to get out. “Have you broken your brain?”

Elise venomously pushed me away. Taking advantage of that brief moment, Yael slightly raised one eyebrow.

There was sufficient communication.

I didn’t pretend to know him.

“get out. right now-”

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Just as Elise was about to kick me out, an ominous roar sounded. At the same time, all the lights turned off. The interior was pitch black. Yael was no longer visible beyond the tempered glass.

“Is it a power outage? hey. “Do something.”

“… … “What do you know how to do?”

Elise radiated magical power. A blue light flickered, illuminating a radius of about 3 meters.

——Kaaaa!

“Akkamjjakkiyaaaaaak!”

Suddenly Yael clung to the window. Elise almost fainted, and Yael chuckled.

—Hehehe.

“This crazy prisoner—”

Elise, who was shaking with a red face, glanced at me and walked out of the cell.

“… … hmm.”

Thanks to that, I was alone and treated Yael inside the tempered glass alone. He looked into those blue eyes and pretended to zip his mouth.

It’s a gesture from the prison cell to say that there will be no more pushing or such.

—… … Foot.

He, who had always had a strange expression, soon smiled. He said with a smile like before.

—You must be sad, right?

“what.”

—Elise It looks like you followed, but you probably won’t be able to do it.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

—What are you talking about? Her ideal type is a tall man. You can’t do this.

Yael placed her hand horizontally and placed it on her chest. You’re so small – what does this mean?

It was absurd to me.

“… … “It’s unfortunate to hear.”

-under! That’s honest.

Yael smiled cheerfully once, then whispered softly with a slightly sad face.

… … If possible, don’t pretend to know anything. Because it gets dangerous.

I looked at Yael intently. Yael walked behind him and sat down on the bed.

Hehehe… … !

At that time, an unusual wind blew in from outside. Yael narrowed her eyes sharply and winced.

—Go. It gets dangerous if you stay for a long time.

“okay. “See you again.”

Yael answered quietly.

—… … If possible.

“I will come again.”

to see you

Yael raised an eyebrow in protest, and I walked back down the hallway of the containment area and came out.

Shootaaaaa——!

Before you know it, a strong rainstorm is shaking the entire Lecordak. Within 10 seconds of coming out, my entire body was soaked.

“What are you doing?”

“… … .”

In the middle of the playground, which was almost covered in spray, Elise stood glaring at the other side. As motionless as a ghost. I looked there too and frowned.

“What is he?”

There was a person.

He approaches with a student who appears to be a senior at his side, holding a bag of snacks in his other hand and stuffing it into his mouth.

It’s bizarre.

It’s not the action, but the appearance that’s scary.

eyes are black There is no white. It was as if the entire eye socket had been painted black.

“uh? “Who are you?”

The guy who made eye contact passed us by while saying that, then walked trotting to stand in front of the door of the quarantine area.

Ujikkeun—!

The iron door shattered with a single gesture of his hand.

“… … “What kind of mountaineer-”

“Stay there.”

I stopped Elise from leaving.

Even though I’m like this, I remember people’s faces quite well. Of course, even if I don’t remember, “Notepad” will remember, but in the first place, once you see that guy, it’s an impression that you can’t forget.

“He’s a pretty strong guy.”

It’s not black. A physique that easily exceeds 2m.

This is a guy I know. Should we call it a bad relationship before returning, or should we call it a major customer?

The name is Draven Racops. AKA shredder.

He is a member of the [Geumgaek], a gang that is one of the best in the underworld, or will be one of the best in the future, and even now it looks like he is not alone. A man is appearing very quietly at the back of the playground.

He has the face of a college student, but his neck is wrapped in bandages and his cheek is scarred… … .

“Hey, this is a big deal.”

I smiled while looking at him.

Life expectancy is at risk of being reduced compared to before regression.

“hi.”

He looked at us and said hello. Although he didn’t necessarily need to be greeted, he responded with a friendly smile.

“Hello.”

“… … Hello?”

Then Elise looked back at me with a puzzled look on her face.

bang-!

At that moment, a sound rang out from inside the quarantine area that Draven had just entered.

—Who, what, what are you doing, ugh, ugh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!!!

Long, desperate screams were also mixed in. How can someone scream like that?

Of course it’s not Yael’s voice. In the first place, this is not the timeline where Yael dies now.

“… … You too say hello. hurry. “If you don’t want to be like that.”

I hurriedly urged Elise. Elise didn’t even pretend to listen.
