Chapter 38. Karou is furious. (New problems. Part 1.)

The next day we went to school as usual, but it was obvious that Karou was not in the mood, so I decided to ask her directly what happened.

— Hey, Karou, why are you frowning so much? Nila said, getting ahead of me.

But after that question, she stopped and at that very moment, as if some unknown force had manifested itself, which knocked us to our feet. Only Karou was standing on her feet.

—K-Karou, what's going on?" Nila asked haltingly.

Karou, in response, stood and looked at us with empty eyes, and literally in a moment we were already on our feet, although we did nothing to get up. Karou calmly walked on as if nothing had happened.

— Hey, stop! What was that just now? Why did we all fall to the ground? Mimika shouted, taking Kara by the shoulder and squeezing her. It was obvious that the Mimic was seriously angry.

Did something just happen? I didn't see anything, sorry.

— How did I not see anything… You just stood there and stared at us after Nila asked you a question. Turn around here! – Mimica took and abruptly turned Kara to face her.

— Why are you so aggressive towards me? Please don't make me angry, otherwise you will not be well. Karou replied rudely, which was very unlike her, as if she had been replaced.

— Listen, are you telling me this? It's like I didn't see you do something to us?! I'm going to ask you now! Mimika aimed her fist at Kara, but I managed to stop her.

— Akishito! Give her a smack… Don't get in the way!

— Calm down, Mimic, be reasonable, you can't beat your friends for nothing.

Suddenly, when I finished speaking, I again felt an incomprehensible force behind me, which knocked me to my feet and this force ... came from Kara?! Yes, it can't be that simple… And again, we somehow turned back, I saw that Karou was standing again and just looked at me with empty eyes, but this time I somehow somehow distinguished what was happening behind, as if everything had turned gray. It was very difficult to move, everything was getting blurry in my eyes every second and after a few seconds I just fell to the ground. The last thing I saw then was the silhouette of some guy on the asphalt.

I woke up in the same place where we stopped, it was a park that you have to go through to get to school. But there was no one near me anymore. I shook off all the dust from the ground and went to school. As I got closer to the school, I felt the same unpleasant force that prevented me from moving, but I went to find out what was going on there. No... not even that. I wanted to know what happened to Karou today…

Somehow, when I got to the student council office, I saw that Karou was sitting and peacefully sipping tea.

The very same situation at school was as follows:

While I was walking, I heard that in the offices someone was clearly moaning because he could not get up, someone was trying to leave the office, but in the end only scratched the doors. In general, there was clearly something mysterious going on and it was clearly connected with Karou. Although it seems to me that it was not Karou at all, but someone completely different…

— Hey, Akishito, come in and have some tea. Karou said when she saw me open the office door.

— What's going on, Karou? Why does such a force emanate from you that everyone in the school just pulls to the ground?

And again a long silence, again blurring and grayness of the background… But this time the answer was as follows:

— Because he wanted to.

Who is he? That some kind of devilry has started happening again… In fact, it really annoyed me. Although I could hardly move, see, and so on, I was able to grab Kara's leg, she tried to pull away, but it was in vain, because I held her too tightly. The strength began to weaken and finally I was able to stand up. Karou fell from the pain in her leg.

"For what, Akishito?" What have I done to you?! It hurts after all!

— Do you think it doesn't hurt me and others because of what you just did?

"W—what did I just do?" I just remember walking down the street with you this morning, and what happened next? Why am I in the student council office and why are you hitting me…

It turns out that my guesses were correct and it wasn't Karou who controlled herself, but someone else. But who could it be? It was necessary to tell Kara everything in order to understand exactly if something had happened specifically related to her that could affect her mind.

— Listen, Karou... when we were walking today and you were walking some… Sad? Nila decided to ask you about your condition and you, without answering anything, used some kind of force that knocked us all to the ground. Further, after that we got up and walked as if nothing had happened, but then Mimica decided to ask you what it was. Well, then you almost got into a fight there, I tried to stop the Mimicry, after which you used the same force again, only focusing specifically on me, after which I fell unconscious. In general, such is the story.

Listen, do you know who could control you?

— And I know everything perfectly well and I know who controls me… Why are you telling me this? This is stupid! Karou shouted, after which that power reappeared… I saw that Karou had the same chocolate ribbon tied on her arm, which was given to her by a certain Kei Narito… Maybe he controls her?

— You think right, Akishito! It's me! Narito Kay. – at that moment, next to Karou, I again saw the silhouette that I had seen in the morning.

— Why do you need us? What have we done to you?

— You're the only one who made me feel bad, you made my Kara fall in love with you... all her thoughts are only about you, and yesterday she threw chocolate down my neck because of this! You know, it's a shame. In general, I will kill you, maybe not now, but in the future for sure, we will meet again and more than once. And at the moment I'm letting you go, and if you want to lose control of Kara, first try to rip that tape off Kara's hand! Good luck!

The pressure increased greatly, which made it difficult to even raise your hand, it was just a horror…

But then, after a few seconds, I saw another silhouette, already quite familiar… It was Kaji!

— What is this powerful force? What's going on here? Why are you Akishito on the floor? Are you peeking under Kara's skirt? I somehow raised my head and realized that indeed, I was already lying right under Karou's skirt... damn... I obviously didn't want to look there.

— Kaji! Urgently untie the ribbon on Kara's right hand! With the help of her, a certain Kay controls her and releases this incomprehensible force.

Kaji untied the ribbon and everything in the school just returned to its original position, as if nothing had happened, going out into the yard I met with all my friends and told them what was happening. Mimic and Nila accepted everything until the very moment I fell to the ground, while others simply forgot about everything that happened this morning.

Who is this Narito Kei and why is he so obsessed with Kara and love for her? And when will we meet him again and under what circumstances will it be? The future will decide…
