There’s no mouth you can pry open.

“Let go.” Kasumigaoka Utaha said coldly.

She was very confident that it must be Kitakami Yoru who stole her silk stockings and padding.

Only someone as bold as Kitakami Yoru would do such a thing.

“But if you can’t find it, what then?” Kitakami Yoru suppressed the pain in his palms and stood before Kasumigaoka Utaha.

“If you can’t find it, then what should we do next?”

“Are you going to say that I intentionally hid them?”

“So when the time comes, how will you deal with me, Kasumigaoka Utaha!”

Kitakami Yoru boldly questioned back, putting himself on the line.

This was the only time in all these years that Kitakami Yoru showed his pitiful courage.

But he used it to prove his innocence hastily.

“Do you want to deny it?” Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment before letting out a cold laugh.

She then said, “It seems like you hid them in advance, so you’re acting so fearless?”

“You……why can’t it just be…..”

“Just……that……”

Facing Kasumigaoka Utaha’s questioning, Kitakami Yoru stuttered and tried to defend himself, but his tongue seemed tied.

He flustered and fumbled as he gestured desperately, trying to recall and think of something.

Originally, Kitakami Yoru had thought about what he wanted to say.

But in the crucial moment, he forgot due to nervousness.

He couldn’t grasp the key points he wanted to speak and couldn’t say them.

“Hayasaka, what do you think?” Shinomiya Kaguya furrowed her brows slightly and whispered to Hayasaka Ai beside her.

“Well……”

“Kaguya-sama, in terms of probability, there’s a chance that he isn’t the one who stole the silk stockings and padding.”

“But if we can’t find any evidence, don’t worry.”

“There must be a way; there’s always a method to pry open someone’s mouth.”

Hayasaka Ai dragged her lower lip with her hand, pondered for a few seconds before responding.

Be gentle, we can use a lie detector; otherwise, it’s too harsh…..

Various psychotropic drugs and cruel methods are all options.

Hayasaka Ai silently thought to herself.

However, she believes that the perpetrator is definitely Kitakami Yoru; there’s no mistake about it.

It’s normal not to find any evidence; they can be hidden anywhere or even burned up after use, leaving nothing but ashes.

“Hold on a moment.”

Suddenly, Hiratsuka Shizuka lit a cigarette and squeezed in from the side.

She stood between Kitakami Yoru and Kasumigaoka Utaha, effectively separating the two.

“Ah～Kasumigaoka Utaha, don’t push him too hard; let him speak out first.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka blew a smoke ring and spoke to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kitakami Yoru saw this scene and excitedly nodded, repeatedly using pain to stimulate himself and taking deep breaths to calm down.

“Alright, do you have anything else to argue about?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at this disgusting fat man and stepped back.

“And don’t rush, take it easy.” Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed inwardly.

She saw Kitakami Yoru’s scene and couldn’t bear it; she didn’t know what to say clearly, so she went to stop him.

“Thank you, teacher, I……I’m okay.” Kitakami Yoru nodded heavily, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka and feeling grateful in his heart.

At least, Hiratsuka Shizuka was willing to give him time and a chance to defend himself, rather than attacking him right away.

Unlike Mafuyu Kirisu’s approach towards herself.

“What are you trying to say?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka extinguished the cigarette in her hand and asked Kitakami Yoru, then continued talking on her own:

“What I’m trying to say is, why must it be the culprit?”

“Why can’t it be another guy who saw an opportunity and took advantage of it? You don’t want to suspect yourself, so you boldly carry out your plan; after all, you’re just a scapegoat?”

“Or maybe the culprit is a jealous girl who stole from you? Who wanted to make you uncomfortable and seek revenge?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Kitakami Yoru’s eyes widened with excitement, almost biting his tongue off.

Hiratsuka Shizuka had expressed most of what was on her mind.

“Exactly, Hiratsuka-sensei, I wanted to say all these things!”

“These speculations, can’t they be used for suspicion?”

“You yourself know that there are many girls in school who envy you; many boys also like you. And someone is even buying your silk stockings and padding at a high price. Aren’t these motives enough to commit the crime?”

Kitakami Yoru lifted his head, boldly meeting Kasumigaoka Utaha’s gaze!

Facing Kitakami Yoru’s resolute eyes, Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated slightly, taking a shallow breath.

She began to ponder on the words of Kitakami Yoru.

Indeed, there was some reason in what Kitakami Yoru said.

In secret, someone was buying her silk stockings and thigh pads at an exorbitant price; she knew about it too.

There were also some girls, especially those from Pure Institute, who couldn’t stand themselves and occasionally came looking for trouble.

“But, this can’t wash away your suspicion.” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked into Kitakami Yoru’s eyes, her tone easing slightly.

However, she remained firm.

Shinomiya Kaguya turned back and met Hayasaka Ai’s gaze, exchanging a silent understanding with her eyes.

Shinomiya Kaguya wasn’t concerned about who stole Kasumigaoka Utaha’s silk stockings and thigh pads.

She only cared about who the perpetrator was, whether they had taken her photos or done anything else to her.

Kitakami Yoru’s words actually shook Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shinomiya Kaguya a little.

But the people outside, whether male or female, couldn’t sit still.

Because Kitakami Yoru had shifted the conflict onto them!

“Hey, you disgusting fatso, what are you saying? Kasumigaoka-senpai has always been my idol; who would envy her and seek revenge?”

“Fat pig, you were ogling Kasumigaoka-san’s thighs earlier, now pretending not to know, playing the innocent, huh?”

“How am I supposed to not know that someone is buying silk stockings and thigh pads in secret at an exorbitant price?”

“Kasumigaoka-senpai, don’t let this fat pig fool you; he must have planned his alibi and counterarguments, anticipating your anticipation!”

“I saw his innocent and guileless reaction just now; it was all an act, a performance, he’s the best actor!”

“He must have hidden the evidence; he thinks you don’t have any proof, so he can’t be caught!”

The male and female classmates watching the drama unfold were filled with indignation, continuously spouting attacks on Kitakami Yoru and various speculations.

After all, compared to those around her, Kitakami Yoru seemed more like a criminal.

A criminal’s words would never be believed.

“Well, let’s call the police then; let them come over.” Mafuyu Kirisu spoke with a sense of distress.

“No, calling the police is just a futile attempt.” Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head and glared at Kitakami Yoru.

This event might not even have any solution according to the Police Station.

It would just be a superficial handling, and it involves Shinomiya Kaguya, a heiress of a wealthy family.

Even if the perpetrator isn’t Kitakami Yoru, they might still be treated as scapegoats by the Police Station or left with a lifelong stain in their records.

Once a stain is left, being expelled from school would be minor; finding work later on would become impossible.

Kitakami Yoru’s whole life would then truly be ruined.

That is, assuming the perpetrator isn’t Kitakami Yoru.

Perhaps it was Kitakami Yoru’s sincerity that moved Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Standing beside her tent, Kitakami Yoru quietly observed Kasumigaoka Utaha and listened to the conversation between the two teachers.

She noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha and paid attention to the two teachers’ dialogue.

When she heard Mafuyu Kirisu still insisting on calling the police, she couldn’t help but feel frightened.

And when she heard Hiratsuka Shizuka pleading for her, her heart was filled with deep gratitude towards Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Besides her own parents, it felt like no one else had ever truly cared about her.

“This……”

Mafuyu Kirisu opened her mouth, her gaze shifted from Hiratsuka Shizuka to Kitakami Yoru.

Then she took a step forward and approached Kitakami Yoru.

Without any pretense of her disgust, she questioned with an icy tone:

“Kitakami Yoru-san, if you really did steal Kasumigaoka Utaha-san’s belongings, please return them.”

Mafuyu Kirisu wondered why Kitakami Yoru would be afraid of the Police Station if she wasn’t the perpetrator.

Why not let the Police Station handle it; wouldn’t that be better?

Only a criminal would fear the Police Station, trying to deceive their way out, right?”

When it comes to such incidents, harassment and theft are serious crimes that should be dealt with by the police station.
