Chapter 11.1: Not Suicidal

[Dear LittleiSister. Translator: Madhatter

Apparently, oneiof my foolish acquaintances has been stranded in the sea of trees, soiyour brother valiantly sets off by himself to look forithem. I am not committing suicide, so pleaseidont be mistaken and make a fuss aboutiit.

If youidont hear from me by the time you read this letter, please, I beg you, fileia missing persons report with the police.

Onceiagain, please dont make a fuss when you read this.

Andino, its not a prank, Im serious.

Dontithrow it in the trash halfway through reading the letter. Because if something happens to me, it will all depend on your cool-headed discretion.

Seriously, please.

P.S.

Itsinot suicide, its really not suicide.

Fromiyour brother.]

Asifor the cause and effect of this, Iihad no idea, but I, a 25-year-old freeter, was going to step into the sea of trees where suicidal people were found lying around as corpses yeariafter year

Inicaseiof emergency, I left a note to my sister, who would probably visit around midday today, containing a clear explanation of why I wasigoing there.

Determined, I left myihouse. Not shared on aggregator sites

Shouldithe worst-case scenario unfurl, itiwould impose immense hardships on my family, including my sister.

Iiwould absolutely endeavor with all my efforts to refrain from such a situation.

BesidesiWhen I was writing this, I was wondering if this might be a kind of suicide note. This note would function as a suicide note unless I returned unscathed, despite I shook my head and felt it was an omen. It was terrifying.

Speakingiof terrifying, what I found most disconcerting at this point was that I was unable to predict my sisters response after readingiit.

Hopefully, sheiwould stick to the letters directions, but given that my younger sister was a highly eccentric second-year junior high school student, it seemed more likely that she would be distraught or throw it in the trash instead of believing iniit.

Iibegiyou not to let the latter happen. Even worse, she could be too engrossed in the Internet to notice this note.

Thereiit wasa decent-sized flashlight. What? Batteries were sold separately? Theiconvenience store quality was so stingy, making me buy not only the flashlight but the batteriesias well

While I didnt have time to complain aboutiit, the price of this cheap light, which could be sold even at a hundred-yen store Once this case was over, I would confront that man aboutithe bill.

Um, Hakamada?2ws

Owapu!?21ews

Theihood fell off inireaction to the idiotic voice I made as I jumped back. Beforeime was Takenaka with a slightly troubled look on his face.

Ah, I knewiit.

Its you, Hakamada.

WheniTakenakaisaid that, I exclaimed internally.

I-I have been exposeddddddddddd.

Thatiwasiway too fast! Notieven three minutes had gone by!

Toimyistiffening, Takenaka made an uncomfortable face and awkwardly greeted me with a Good evening.

Well, of course Iisaid Good evening in return.

Even I was uncomfortable meeting this person because Takenaka probably saw the previous hellscape that Hirai hadishown me Inishort.

Ughhhhhhhhhh!!

Iiwanted to get out of the store right now!
