Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 - Werewolf Game (2)

Werewolf Game (2) Translator: Chaos

****

The morning after I revived Ellie's diary.

I headed to school as usual.

The difference from usual was that I was alone.

Usually, I would run into either Levin, Lana, or Ellie and go to school together.

But today, I intentionally created a situation where I was alone.

The reason was….

Pitter-patter-pitter-patter…!

'She's here.'

Poof!

Squish~!

"Heo-eoh…!"

"A-Ares…! Good morning…!"

Because I had to receive Ellie's morning back hug.

'This is fucking awesome…!!'

As expected, the future according to Ellie's diary had come true.

The diary's future prediction function had definitely been restored.

No, more than that.

'This size is really unbelievable…, it's no joke…!'

Squish, squish~

I had expected it since I had seen the diary, and I had noticed her approaching.

But a moving softness that far surpassed that expectation was felt from my back.

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Was that what you tested yesterday??? lolololol]

ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: I knew that bastard wouldn't have done something normal lolololol]

[NightRat: Ellie almost got fuckedㄷㄷ;;]

[Wouldn't Ellie just do it if you asked??]

ㄴ[Ares: That's sexual harassment, you perverted bastard;;]

ㄴ[Ares: Are you in your right mind]

ㄴ[What the fuck is with this bastard????]

"Sorry…, were you surprised? Hehe…."

"U-uh…. A little. You're kind of energetic today? Did something good happen?"

"Uh, uhh?"

I tried my best to act nonchalant and naturally walked side by side with Ellie.

The afterglow of the sensation I had felt on my back still remained.

I tried my best to pull up my gaze, which was unconsciously going down to Ellie's chest.

"I-it's just…, seeing Ares in the morning…, I was a little happy…."

"...."

Cute.

The way she appealed to me with courage, while blushing and being shy.

Ellie peeked at me, then soon blushed and lowered her head as if she was embarrassed.

'A movie theater date in two days, huh….'

Watching her from the side, I started to look forward to the upcoming date even more.

Title: The movie theater date I mentioned yesterday

It should be okay to go, right??

I checked the content for the day after, and it seems like nothing special happens

I also want to check if Ellie is human

[You just want to go on a date, don't you]

ㄴ[Ares: Of course]

ㄴ[Ah fuck, I'm so jealous]

[NightRat: Still, be careful just in case]

ㄴ[Ares: Don't worry, I'll just hold her hand]

ㄴ[NightRat: No, not that, you idiot;;]

ㄴ[NightRat: Be careful of the anomalies;;]

ㄴ[Ares: Ah]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Anyway, what a consistent bastard lolol]

After arriving at the classroom in the morning.

I was lost in thought for a moment while looking at NightRat's comments.

'Anomalies….'

Of course, there was a slight anxiety.

Because I had already experienced anomalies three times recently.

Maybe Ellie was an anomaly and not a human.

'Still, just looking at the diary, it seems like nothing special will happen for a while.'

Just as NightRat said, I should be careful, but it seemed I didn't need to be too anxious.

Anyway, this was a place where people lived too.

Wouldn't it be okay to enjoy a date with a girl?

'A date…, yes, a date….'

Thinking of the date, another worry came to mind.

In a way, it was more important than an anomaly.

Yes, what was the flower of a date?

It was skinship…!

'Do I really have to just hold her hand…?'

What if the movie we watched was a romance?

Couldn't there be a deep kiss scene if the rating was a bit high?

What if Ellie and I were holding hands at that moment?

I might not be able to hold back.

'Yeah, a kiss should be okay, right?'

Unlike Lana, Ellie might be human.

And that NightRat bastard probably kissed someone at least.

"Um, Ares."

"Yeah…."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Well…, whether it's okay to kiss…."

"Heeh, who?"

"Well, of course..., uh, uhhh?! Levin?!"

"Hehe, Ares, you pervert."

When I was deeply lost in thought about the date with Ellie, Levin had approached me at some point.

She looked at me playfully with her usual gentle smile.

"Uh, um, th-that…, what is it?"

"Yeah, I was going to ask what you wanted to do this week."

"This week…?"

"Yeah, we promised, right? To introduce you to a friend every week."

"Aah."

I only remembered then.

Starting with Ellie's mama recently, to the night school exploration and Miss Popopo.

There had been many things to be distracted by, so I had forgotten that I had made such a promise with Levin.

"You've been hanging out with Lana and Ellie a lot during lunchtime lately, right? So I put it off for a while, but how about starting again from today?"

"...."

Introducing a friend….

Certainly, being introduced to a friend by Levin was not bad.

Because I had to find a real human female student by graduation.

But

'Ellie still seems like she could be human…, and if I meet one more person and that girl is an anomaly, I could be fucked….'

More than anything, Ellie was the problem.

She was a girl who wrote a lot of murderous impulses in her diary with just Lana alone.

What if such girls increased every week….

A massacre might occur in the academy….

"Ah…, I think it's okay for you not to help me for the time being."

"Oh my, really?"

"Yeah."

And so, I refused Levin's offer.

"Thanks, I'll tell you again when I need help next time."

"Okay, it's fine, so tell me anytime."

And so, I protected the lives of other female students today.

When I was sure that Ellie was an anomaly….

At that time, I would have to somehow make contact with another female student without Ellie knowing.

In many ways, I came to sincerely hope that Ellie was a real person.

And the next day.

"U-u-um…, A-Ares…!"

"U-uh."

During the morning commute, Ellie gave me a surprise back hug again, giving me a taste of the heavenly sensation.

And just as it was written in the diary.

She asked me out on a date on the way to school.

"On Saturday…! By any chance, b-by any chance, if you have time…!"

"Hmm…."

"Will you!! ...go to the movies with me?"

Her eyes were moist, as if she was about to cry.

With a bright red face, she looked at me earnestly.

At that sight, I felt a protective instinct being stimulated in my heart.

'Cute….'

To be asked out on a date by such a cute girl.

If only this wasn't a real horror academy…!!

"Yeah, I'd love to. Let's go see a movie."

"Really…?!"

At my accepting answer, Ellie smiled brightly with a blush.

An immeasurable joy was felt in that pure smile.

Was she that happy?

To see a movie with a guy like me.

Somehow, when I talked with Ellie, I often had the illusion that I was a very special guy.

"Hehe, ehehe…, then…! It's a promise…!"

Ellie, who was very excited, smiled foolishly and didn't know what to do.

It seemed that as her tension was relieved, a wave of shyness came over her.

"Ah, I-I had something to do early in the morning…! I-I'll go first, Ares!"

And she couldn't overcome her shyness and ran ahead first.

Pitter-patter-patter-patter~

I could feel her excitement from her back as she ran away.

"...."

"I like movies too."

Just then.

A voice was suddenly heard from right next to me.

"Hiiik?!"

"...I like movies too."

Cling!

Lana, who had suddenly appeared, glared at me gently and hugged my arm tightly.

That action felt more like a restraint than her usual seductive feeling, so I was scared.

"I like movies too."

"Ha-haha…."

But you're an anomaly….

"When are you going to watch one with me?"

"...Later."

"Later? How about next weekend?"

"Well…, um…."

Honestly, I didn't hate the idea.

Yeah, well, even if Lana was an anomaly, it should be okay to watch a movie or something, right?

[Why is this bastard's physique so good???]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: I saw his forearm when he was punching the Jangsan Tiger anomaly, but wow lolol]

[RedNightSky: Why did you cover your face]

ㄴ[Ares: It's embarrassing]

ㄴ[RedNightSky: It's very disgusting that the bastard who punched an anomaly is being shy]

[NightRat: It's neat and good]

ㄴ[NightRat: I'm saying it again, but be careful]

ㄴ[NightRat: Both the anomaly and your dick]

ㄴ[Ares: What if Ellie gives me a surprise kiss???]

ㄴ[NightRat: Do it and die]

Time passed, and the day of the date arrived.

The meeting place was in front of the movie theater in the shopping area.

'There are a lot of people….'

The surroundings were full of young people.

Well, this was also inside the academy.

That was why students I remembered seeing at school were passing by.

Probably, everyone here right now were students of Wonder Academy.

'It's about time she came….'

And so, as I was waiting for Ellie in front of the movie theater.

"Ares~!"

"Oh, you're he—"

Jiggle, jiggle~

"...."

"Haa, haa…, I'm sorry…! Did you wait long?"

"No…, it's okay…."

I met Ellie.

She came on the date beautifully dressed in a pure white one-piece and a beige cardigan.

She was beautiful and cute.

She was beautiful and cute, but.

Wow….

My eyes went somewhere else.

[Wow, fuuuuck]

ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: Those clothes are definitely not revealing, so why are they so lewd??]

ㄴ[Ares, you son of a bitch, I'm so fucking jealous, you bastard]

ㄴ[Hikikomori: fr, there weren't many pretty girls like that back in my day, you fucking bastard]

ㄴ[NightRat: Ares, you've become everyone's fucking bastard with just one photo]

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Ares, we'll acknowledge it even if you can't hold back and die]

"What flavor of popcorn do you like, Ares?"

"I like caramel."

"Ah, me too, caramel. …Hehe, we're the same?"

"...."

After meeting Ellie, we started to enjoy our date intimately.

We entered the movie theater together and bought popcorn and drinks together.

"Which movie should we choose?"

"Umm…."

There were two movies to choose from.

One was a cute movie that kids would watch, and the other was a horror movie.

"Ah, you choose, Ares!"

"Me?"

"Yeah! Since I'm the one who asked you out!"

"...."

Was she being considerate of me?

Well, it wasn't like Ellie had decided on a movie she wanted to watch and asked me out on a date in the first place.

'What should I choose?'

I looked at the posters intently.

To be honest …cute was not my taste.

More than anything, for some reason, the horror movie poster pulled at my heart.

Why was that?

Was it because I was expecting the lewd situation that happens when a couple watches a horror movie on a date?

"Let's go with this one."

"...."

After a moment.

In the end, I chose the horror movie between the two.

Honestly, the cute one seemed like it would be too boring.

And more than anything, there was the suspension bridge effect.

In many ways, the horror movie was a gain.

A horror movie was right for a date, yes.

"It's a horror movie…, are you good at watching these things, Ellie?"

"U-uhh…. I-I'm good…."

"Haha, you're lying, you don't look like you're good at it?"

"Uu…, I'm sorry. Actually, I'm not good at it. …But it's okay! I'll watch it properly with you!"

"...."

It seemed she wanted to watch the cute one.

She seemed to be worried that if she said let's watch that one, I might say let's not watch the movie at all.

Ellie was clearly scared, but she tried her best to say it was okay.

'But the cute one seems like it would be too boring.'

It would be better to reassure Ellie instead.

'...Surely, just holding hands should be okay.'

That was why I said to Ellie without realizing it.

"If it's too scary, it's okay to hold my hand."

"Huh…?"

"Oof…."

Words I said to really reassure Ellie.

But after saying them, they sounded a bit lewd.

No, no, it wasn't because I had any ulterior motives.

It was because it really seemed like Ellie was scared, so the words came out of a protective instinct.

Did I look like a horny guy who wanted to have skinship too much…?

"...."

But

"Then, ...hold it."

"...."

Ellie gently blushed and slyly held my hand.

And then she stuck to my side.

Squish~

Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow…!!

"Isn't it hard to hold the popcorn?"

"U-uh. It's nothing."

I had to hold the popcorn and drink with one hand, but even if I spilled everything on the floor, I didn't want to let go of this hand.

Wowamazingforsomereasonthesoftnessisfeltevenbetterthanwhenshe'sinheruniform....

Squish, squish~

And so, I couldn't come to my senses at the ecstatic sensation I felt with every step I took.

At some point, we were sitting in the seats of the movie theater.

"Still, I'm looking forward to it. Right?"

"Yeah, it'll be fun."

And so, Ellie and I started to watch the movie with our hands held tightly together.

[It's a murder…!! Someone is dead!!]

The movie was a horror genre, not the kind with ghosts, but the kind with a murderer.

'It's better than I thought.'

There weren't many people inside the movie theater either.

It probably wasn't a very popular movie.

The number of audience members was small enough to be counted on one's fingers.

"Hiit…!"

Squeeze….

Squish….

'I'm happy….'

It was a horror movie, but to me, it felt like a healing movie.

Especially when I expected a scary scene to come out, I started to get excited with anticipation.

And after a moment, without fail, Ellie would hug my arm tightly.

'I have to concentrate on a movie like this.'

Thanks to her, I was distracted in the middle and missed some movie scenes.

We would talk about the movie after the date was over…, and if I couldn't remember anything, the atmosphere would surely get weird.

[You killed him, didn't you?! You were cooped up in your room all night yesterday!!]

[Th-that's….]

The setting of the movie was a hotel in a secluded place.

Ten people were trapped in the hotel due to a blizzard and a typhoon, and a murder occurred every night.

The peculiar thing was.

'The main character is an elementary school student.'

That the movie was progressing from the perspective of a young elementary school student protagonist.

[That person…, just now, why….]

The protagonist, who was an elementary school student, was very mature and calm, unlike a child.

He didn't seem to be scared either.

'The characters are full of personality too.'

The people trapped in the hotel were also diverse.

A lesbian couple, a female detective, and a male reporter.

And a man with an intellectual disability and his old father guardian.

A man who was traveling alone.

And even characters who were thought to be a young couple, a newlywed couple, but turned out to be an adulterous couple.

Thanks to the various characters, it was better to watch than I thought.

And more than anything.

"He was a ghost…."

"Yeah…."

The elementary school boy was a ghost.

No wonder, no one was talking to the protagonist.

The reason it was from an observer's point of view was also because he was a ghost.

The immersion was heightened by the more interesting twist than I thought.

And after that, the climax.

The movie ended after the real culprit was caught.

The conclusion was that the culprit was the man who was traveling alone.

But thanks to the twist that the protagonist was a ghost, it wasn't a bad movie.

[—♩ ♪ ♫ ♬]

After that, the movie ended with the ending credits and a song.

"Huh?"

But

The ending credits were a bit strange.

[Daniel - D8]

There was only one name in the ending credits.

"What is this…?"

Usually, in that scene where countless names of the actors' roles and names were listed.

But there was only one name going up in the black screen.

"D8…?"

A name that didn't sound like a person's name at all.

The moment I was tilting my head, feeling a question at those letters.

Thud!

Suddenly, the lights inside the movie theater turned on.

"...."

The brightened movie theater interior.

A sudden, tremendous sense of wrongness hung in the air.

"...Huh?"

They were gone.

The people.

No one.

Not even Ellie.

"...."

The brightened movie theater.

—The audience seats were empty.
