Paine's game

"I have warned you a long time ago! Just for money! Now you have awakened the curse that was finally silent! How many lives do you plan to use to fill it this time?"

A gray-haired old man pounded the table angrily. "You idiots! How are you going to end it now? Echizen Nanjiro, a red deer, has already lost his life for his own insistence! You still want to continue now?"

"Mr. Sakuragi, why are you so angry?"

Director Tsukamoto said slowly and logically.

"Isn't it the purpose of bringing everyone together to resolve this matter? You are not young anymore. It is not good for your health to be so angry all the time."

"Hmph! I, Sakuragi Takuma, am in good health and I don't need you to care!"

The old man seems to have a very bad relationship with Director Tsukamoto and does not give him face when he speaks.

"Now you have called the school directors together, saying it is to solve this matter? I think you are trying to shirk responsibility! Don't think that I don't know about the relationship between you and Echizen Nanjiro. You also have the idea of ​​reopening the old school building

Have one!"

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, other school directors present also tried to stop the fight.

"Both of you, please calm down and give Ito Masaru some face."

A middle-aged man with an intellectual appearance wearing gold-rimmed glasses came out to smooth things over.

"When such a big thing happens, it is natural to convene a school board meeting to discuss and resolve it. The matter has already happened. Mr. Sakuragi should not be so angry. Venting his emotions will not solve the problem. Director Tsukamoto, you are a witness at the scene.

What’s going on?”

"I have already told you the specific situation before. There is really no need for me to hide this matter from you. What Sakuragi Takuma said just now is right. I also supported Echizen Nanjiro to restart the old school building. If he fabricated the curse to restart,

Aren’t I just slapping myself in the face? What happened at that time was that Echizen Nanjiro came to discuss with me some specific matters about reopening the old school building. After saying a few words, he seemed to be strangled by an invisible thing, waiting for me to find him.

When the helper comes back, Echizen Nanjiro is no longer able to survive."

Director Tsukamoto sighed, because although he concealed some details, he did not hide anything about the death of Echizen Nanjiro. It’s just that no one on the school board is a human being, except for the hot-tempered Sakuragi.

In addition to thinking about it, several other school directors may still suspect that there was a conflict between him and Echizen Nanjiro, and they were suspected of taking action.

"Strangled to death by something invisible?"

Ito Masaru repeated it thoughtfully, and then said: "This method does not seem to be caused by a curse."

"If you ask me, Echizen Nanjiro is probably doing bad things, and he might have gotten into some dangerous weirdness."

A middle-aged man with a big belly and a beer belly said in a rough voice. His face was flushed, and it was obvious that he had just drank.

"I know that boy Echizen Nanjiro very well. He does bad things, and it's normal to bring bad luck to something. It may not be a curse from the past. I don't think you should overreact. It's raining when you hear the wind. Are you still

Should we shut down Dehong High School directly?"

"Kurachi Toshihiko! What are you kidding about, you drunkard! If the curse is really revived, of course the school will have to be closed down, just like seventeen years ago!"

Sakuragi Takuma took off his leather shoes and knocked on the table.

"This is not realistic at all. There are so many international students in Dehong High School. Do you know how much money it will cost if it is closed down?!"

Director Tsukamoto categorically objected, "Of course Dehong High School cannot be closed down!"

"Then what do you think we should do? You called us here and said that Echizen Nanjiro was cursed to death!"

Sakuragi Takuma hummed.

"What I said is possible, but not certain. What Toshihiko Kurachi said is also possible." Director Tsukamoto said.

"So what do you mean, Director Tsukamoto?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. Didn't everyone approve the plan proposed by Echizen Nanjiro before? Now that we have found the master of the house and signed a contract with them, let them go in and take a look. If the curse is really revived,

Let’s make plans again. If not, then reopen the old school building!”
