Book 1: Chapter 1: Intro
Welcome to my dream-like school life
“Ayanokouji-kun, are you ok?”
It came. It came again. The feared situation.
As I was pretending to sleep, that person came.
It was the appearance of the devil, which forced me (who was taking a nap) to wake up to reality.
In my brain, Shostakovich’s 11th symphony was playing. The song perfectly described my current predicament: the feeling of utter hopelessness as people are chased by devils and as the end of the world quickly approached.
Even with my eyes closed, I could tell. I could feel the alarming presence of the devil right next to me as it waited for its slave to wake up… Now, as a slave, how do I escape this situation…?
To avoid danger, use the computer in the brain to instantly come up with the answer.
Conclusion… Pretend not to have heard anything. I am naming it the ‘pretend sleep’ strategy. My predicament will be solved with this strategy.
