It's morning. Waking up is the worst. Even though I went on a rampage yesterday, it wasn't enough at all. It doesn't make me feel better. I knew it. My insanity will never clear up. You will kill and kill and then when there is no one to kill, there will be nothing left but emptiness.

In the past, I wouldn't have felt this way because there was someone who could take all of my madness and make it go away. But now the disgusting feeling is stuck in me.

'Huh... this is going to drag on...'

I mumble to myself as I finish my breakfast and arrive at school. When I sit down, Yuki Himejima, our class president, speaks to me.

Good morning, Seigo. Seigo-kun...well...you look terrible, don't you? Are you okay?

It's not okay, Hime.

He gets angry when I say that.

"Don't call me that too, Seigo,

Then someone interrupts.

''That's right. The princess has a fine nickname I've given her, Yukki.

'I'm not so sure about that either. Shiina-chan.

Shiina Mako. She's the vice-chairman of the class and seems to be best friends with the chairman, Hime.

What is it? It's Shiina, isn't it?

Good. Nice nerve. Seigo Konoe. You're looking really pale. What's wrong with you?

'Oh, I'm in the worst mood ever today... I'm sorry, but let me sleep all day.

'You're always asleep when you say that, but...'

Shiina was stunned, but then Kaito's guy came.

''Oi-su. Seigo, it looks like you had a tough day yesterday. It was written on the bulletin board.

Huh?

I stared at Kaito with a killing intent and he hurriedly got down on his knees and apologized.

'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm alive. Please. Please don't kill me.''

What happened to you yesterday?

Shiina asked me if I should answer.

'I got in trouble at the game yesterday. It's been a long time since I've been seriously offended.

'Seigo-kun's really mad? It's kind of hard to imagine.

Kaito speaks as the princess committee chairman tilts his head.

''People on the board say you're a demon, a demon.

No demon or demon has ever gone for the crotch, as far as I know.

'Or rather, you sound as if you've been watching?

There was a video up there. The whole forum has been taken down.

That's good to hear. Because it's bad enough that people at school know about it or something. This guy knows.

"Heh. I'm kind of curious.

''You'd better not do that. I mean, Seigo, I never heard of you being that strong.

I'm not talking to you, so I'm not surprised.

When I say that, the princess committee chairman laughs and asks me.

''Haha. But what happened to you getting so angry, Seigo-kun? Oh, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine.

The Kaito guy grins when he hears the question.

'That's what this guy's summoned, two pretty girls were defeated.

Heh. That's why I'm so mad.

Even Shiina grins. These guys, eh.

I'm not going to lose my temper if it's a normal fight. I just couldn't allow them to get away with it.

People have their own values. Therefore, the judgment of right and wrong is also different for each person.

I dismissed their actions as evil and judged my actions as good. Some people may see their actions as good. And some would see my actions as evil. I'm not rejecting those ideas. But I won't let them deny my values either.

Anyone who sees what they do as good is my enemy. That's all.

"I don't think I've ever seen you say that much before, Seigo.

That's true.

Not really. I did my best when I nominated Kaito for freshman committee chair.

The reason for that was that if you pressed me, I'd be safe for now, though!

The result was an overwhelming victory for the princess committee chairman. Well, he wouldn't be able to take on Kaito. Men are creatures that vote for beautiful girls.

''Come to think of it, was Seigo-kun also on the shortlist?

I had a part-time job, though, so I couldn't do it.

I was a part-time worker at the time, and I was able to successfully get out of the running for chairman of the committee. Then Kaito brings the conversation back to the game.

''Uh...sorry, but let me talk about me first. Let me ask Seigo something important.

What?

You're not... you're not going to be a penalty kicker, are you?

"PK job? What's that?

Come to think of it, I've heard of it before, when you dueled with the tamer.

And last night, you received several titles during the battle. As I recall, you gave me "PKK" and "Unhurt Conqueror". I wasn't sure what they were because I was having a bad day.

"PK means player killer. See, you were attacked last night? Well, it looks like they all turned back.

Oh, you mean those guys... then what's the PKK?

'As it is, it's a player killer killer. I mean, I knew you'd get the title.

You mean like someone who kills player killers?

'Correct. We're having a rough time on the forums right now about whether you're going to be the one who hunts players or the one who hunts player killers. Either you're still going to repeat what you did yesterday, or you're going to rebuild your character.

I see.

"I personally don't want to do anything for now. If Lily and the others want to hunt you, I will.

It's all in their hands now...

When Kaito said that, he offered a prayer. The scene was too....

''It's freaky.''

'Huh? I mean, even the Princess Committee Chairman!

Kaito's guy is very good at making our Princess Committee Chairman say this much. The class chimes to start. I'll have to do something about this feeling while I'm at school.
