The next day

At library

"Yashimoto-san likes Tsukamoto-san." Mashiro said

"He didn't know why Tsukamoto-san disappeared." Takashi said

"The dying of people still continues." Reiko said

"Yeah" Mashiro said

"I wonder what was that?" Takashi said

"What do you mean?" Mashiro said

"Well…I mean why the dying still continues after Tsukamoto-san disappeared." Takashi said

"I get your point" Mashiro said

"That means the predictor is not the cursed person." Reiko said

"Yeah" Mashiro said

"How are we going to solve it?" Takashi said

"I still don't get any idea" Mashiro said

"Me too" Reiko said

They all sighed.

Someone is walking and the rain is pouring so hard and a woman got hit by the lightning. Mashiro suddenly woke up and catch his breath.

"A dream…again?" Mashiro said in his mind

He look at the time.

"Someone is going to die…" Mashiro said in his mind

At school

Mashiro talk to Arata.

"Someone is going to die." Mashiro said

"Who?" Arata said

"I don't see her face but I remember the view of her back." Mashiro said

"What will happen to her?" Arata said

"She will get hit by the lightning." Mashiro said

"I see…it is raining so hard today." Arata said

"Yes" Mashiro said

Break

Mashiro go to the library and look for some information.

"Ah! Who was the teacher 5 year ago…?" Mashiro said in his mind

He thinks deeply and after that he look the class picture.

"This is…?" Mashiro said

Reiko and Takashi sit in front of him.

"What's wrong Mashiro?" Takashi said

"I want to know who the teacher is 5 year ago. Can you get a list for me?" Mashiro said

"Okay!" Takashi said

Takashi go to get the list.

"Why you want to know the teachers?" Reiko said

"We may be able to get information to them. We may able to know why Tsukamoto-san disappeared." Mashiro said

"I see" Reiko said

"The other survivors I can't find them. I go to their houses but they are not there." Mashiro said

"Maybe they…" Reiko said

"Yeah" Mashiro said

Reiko looked down.

"Are you alright to stick with me?" Mashiro said

"Eh?" Reiko said

"Maybe they are avoiding you because you are sticking with me." Mashiro said

"No…" Reiko said

"Or it is natural because we are in Class C?" Mashiro said

"Probably because we are in Class C." Reiko said

"I see…but in classroom no one is talking to you." Mashiro said

"It's okay it's always like that" Reiko said

"Really? You were not like that since middle school" Mashiro said

"Eh? Is that so?" Reiko said

"Yeah" Mashiro said

After few minutes Takashi arrives

"Here! This is the list I got!" Takashi said

"Thank you Takashi" Mashiro said

They look at the list.

"The teachers 5 year ago were Umeda Yoshio, Takagi Hikaru, Akagi Natsuki, Saeki Minato." Mashiro said

They got surprised

"Who is the victim?" Takashi

Mashiro suddenly stood up and he run.

"Mashiro!?" Takashi said

They go outside too and followed Mashiro. Mashiro suddenly stops.

"What's wrong?" Takashi said

Mashiro saw the back of the woman as he saw in the dream.

"She is the victim." Mashiro said

"Eh?" Takashi and Reiko said

"That back is exactly what I saw in the dream." Mashiro said

The woman turn around and they saw her face.

"That person is the victim…?" Takashi said

"She is Umeda-sensei's little sister!" Reiko said

"Eh!?" Mashiro and Takashi said

"Her name is…what was it? Umeda…" Reiko said

After few minutes

"Ah! Umeda Mitsuha!" Reiko said

"We need to talk to Umeda-sensei. His little sister will surely listen to him." Mashiro said

"Yeah" Takashi and Reiko said and they nod

Club activity

Mashiro, Takashi and Reiko go to the faculty room.

"Excuse me!" Mashiro, Takashi and Reiko said

They go inside

"Umeda-sensei we really need to talk to you." Mashiro said

"What is it?" Yoshio said

"About to your little sister." Mashiro said

Yoshio got surprised
