Chapter 182.2 - The Knife's Ownership
However, Shimokawa now realized that perhaps because there was no presence of a woman, and there were only four men that the dull survival life like this became interesting.
Hey, about Momokawa No matter how much I think about it, could it be that he planned to kill Reina-chan from the very beginning?
Shimokawa ended up muttering such a question as he gazed at the bonfire.
No one answered his question. But the same grim look on Ueda and Nakais faces told them the answer.
Oi, that topic is a bit
Let's stop talking about that.
No, Yamada has already fallen asleep, I think I'll use this chance to have a conversation with you two. That's why please hear me out just this time.
Right from the moment Kotaro joined their party, there were a series of mentally exhausting events such as goma fortress' raid, separation by illusion in a maze of white clouds, and then the rescue operation to save the deranged Reina.
But then, without Kotaro to lead their party, and the death of Reina during the turbulence, Shimokawa could finally look back at the situation at that time when those tension-filled moments had finally left them.
That one, I mean Reina-chan, now that I think about it, that girl was truly a shitty, charmless brat.
Ah, I see. I agree with ya. Now that I think properly about it, I can understand why Momokawa treated Reina-chan like that.
Well, Momokawa seems to be going out with that Butaba. Reina-chan is simply just not his type.
Both Ueda and Nakai were nodding along as they recalled how Kotaro didn't even give preferential treatment to Reina. But their nods suddenly came to a stop.
Oi, wait a minute. Futaba at the time, ain't she like, waaaay too slim?
Seriously, so the big-brea$ted beauty who went with Momokawa is THAT FUTABA!
Reina got stabbed to death and Souma Yuuto party suddenly intruded though they couldn't follow the situation due to the rapidly changing development of the situation back then, now that they had the leeway to recall the situation properly, they finally noticed that the figure of the girl who Kotaro called as Mei-chan was way too different from the one in their memories.
The difference was a lot, to the point that it was enough to make them think Who the hell is that girl? when they saw her for the first time.
The air around that big-brea$ted beauty had somehow reminded them of Futaba Meiko, but now that they had calmed down, it was strange no matter how they thought about it.
Ain't that a bit too much for a level of successful diet!?
Futaba is actually so beautiful.
Dammit, so the reason Momokawa dates her is that he discovered that fact.
For the first time since they had arrived in this world, the trio felt the effect of an underhanded play of the shaman.
They came to realize that even before they received a vocation, the existence called Futaba Meiko had always been an unpolished gem. Their imagination was running wild as they imagined Kotaro doing this and that to those miracle proportions that could make even the best gravure model run away barefoot. It was a terrifying diet plan.
Momokawa can't be underestimated.
Hey, speaking about Momokawa, could it be that he has killed someone before he killed Reina-chan?
Yeah, if he has killed someone, that can explain why he's so composed at that time, right?
Hearing Ueda and Nakai's opinion, Shimokawa pondered for a while.
His eyebrows furrowed as if he was worried about something But as he opened his mouth, his expression was that of certainty.
Hey, have you really not noticed it?
Haah?
Eh, what?
The knife used by Momokawa to kill Reina-chan It's Higuchi's butterfly knife.
He knew about that since he had seen the knife a few times already back when it was still in its original owner's hand.
Back when Shimokawa was strolling around the city with Higuchi, they had ended up being surrounded by the students from Kuromine High, and Higuchi took out this knife at that time.
Naturally, he didn't use that to attack those students, the spectacle of Higuchi sending more than three students of Kuromine High back to their den by himself while bluffing with a knife in his hand had been imprinted deep into Shimokawa's memories.
Honestly speaking, at first, he mocked Higuchi who always brought his knife with him like a child his toy, but when he saw him driving out the delinquents by bluffing with his knife changed his impression of Higuchi.
Higuchi wasn't bringing the knife just because it looked cool. He had the courage, and proper skill to use the knife to his advantage.
Thus, Shimokawa could never forget Higuchi's butterfly knife. Even without any additional ornaments, he could tell it was Higuchi's knife at a glance.
Thus, he had noticed it immediately when Kotaro was holding that blood-stained knife in his hand.
Momokawa Might have killed Higuchi.
