Title: Does Lana know
About the sacrifices I've made for her…

Comments
[Hikikomori: What sacrifices did you make??]
ㄴ[Ares: Sob..]
ㄴ[Ares: Miss Rapori…]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: So something was done to you again ㄷㄷ]
ㄴ[Ares: Buried me in her huge chest]
ㄴ[Ares: Undressed me, held me close, and touched me here and there]
ㄴ[Ares: And in the end… keuk! I can't say anymore!]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: No, fuck, that's a good thing;;]
ㄴ[This bastard is already upset about dying and now he's flexing]
ㄴ[You better die buried in titties]
No one could empathize with my hardship.
It was the most painful thing precisely because I couldn't really talk about it.
'I can still feel it in my ass….'
In any case, after making a great sacrifice as a man, I succeeded in restoring Ellie's diary early in the morning.
I had even paid another 300,000 cocoon.
…There was no choice but to cut back on food expenses for a while until the next cocoon payment.
"Let's see…, did Ellie find anything…?"
I hadn't told Ellie about the Doppelgänger yet.
But since the movie theater ghost story, we had decided to write in the diary if anything strange happened.
There might be some information written in it.
Flip, flip!!
"Hmm…."
But contrary to my expectations.
Naturally, as one would expect, Ellie's diary was ordinary.
'Well…, since it's a Doppelgänger, Ellie might not have sensed anything wrong….'
As expected, it seemed like it would be faster to ask Ellie directly.
…I wanted to keep her from getting involved in ghost stories as much as possible, though.
"Huh? A favor…?"
"Yeah, it's a bit of a troublesome favor…, would that be okay?"
"It's okay…. What kind of favor is it?"
Just before morning homeroom began.
I called Ellie out separately and carefully explained the situation.
Fortunately, Ellie readily agreed to the favor.
"So I just have to write in the diary if I see Lana at school today?"
"Yeah, besides that, also write it down if you see someone you've already seen again in a strange place, or if you find a rat. Please."
"A rat…? Okay. Is this something you need, Ares?"
"It's a really important matter."
"……."
At my serious words, Ellie somehow blushed slightly and glanced at me.
Then, with a shy voice, she spoke carefully.
"But…, if I do you a favor, Ares…, can I get something from you too?"
"Huh…? Get…? Is there something you want…?"
"N-no, that's not it…."
Ellie hesitated for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, her cheeks flushed.
"A favor…, I want you to grant my favor too…, is what I mean…."
"A favor…."
What came to mind in that moment.
It was the memory of spending the night together in the dormitory during the movie theater ghost story.
'Haa, haum, huuum…, paha….'
The image of Ellie persistently biting my neck with little pecking sounds flashed through my mind.
No, don't tell me…, the favor is….
Just then, Ellie looked up at me anxiously and asked again.
"No…?"
How could I say no.
"N-no, it's fine. I'll grant it. Yeah."
"Really? Wow! Thank you, Ares."
"……."
Gulp!
I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
Right, I had some shame, after all.
I had no intention of making such a request one-sidedly.
Let's actively grant whatever favor Ellie requested later.
Yeah, since Ellie would have done that much for me.
"Alright, good morning, everyone. Absences today are…, hmm? Lana? Is Lana not here today?"
Afterward, Ellie and I returned to the classroom, and morning homeroom began.
'Shall I check right away….'
While the homeroom teacher was talking about various announcements, I secretly opened Ellie's diary.
I had just asked Ellie to investigate the Doppelgänger.
If the future Ellie found something, the contents would be written in the diary.
Flip, flip!!
'Let's see….'
I immediately checked the diary entry for today.
• • •
[ㅁㅁMonth ㅁㅁDay]
Ares asked me for another strange favor
He told me to write in the diary if I see Lana at school today.
And to write if I see someone I've seen before again, or if I see a rat.
It was like this during the movie theater time too…
Is Ares okay?
I'm worried
It seems like Lana is skipping school too
But I walked around the school as Ares said, but I couldn't find Lana
Should I find her?
What if I can't find her?
In the end, there was nothing strange like Ares mentioned
…He'll still grant my favor, right? Since I wrote it in the diary like this
My heart is pounding
I hope the day he grants my favor comes soon♡
• • •
"……."
What kind of favor was she planning to ask…?
'No, now's not the time to worry about that…!'
Today, Ellie found nothing at school.
Not Lana.
Nor any other cloned person.
And not even the rat the Doppelgänger might have turned into.
'Did Ellie simply fail to find it…?'
That was the most likely possibility.
From what I had experienced so far, anomalies and ghost stories didn't let their victims go so easily.
Perhaps the Doppelgänger had given up on Lana because of what I had done to it.
But the Doppelgänger anomaly itself probably hadn't disappeared.
If so, it would still be in the school, imitating someone's appearance….
'Next page….'
Fortunately, the diary had a total of six days' worth of the future written in it.
Including today's entry, it was seven days' worth of diary.
I immediately checked the diary for the next page.
• • •
[ㅁㅁMonth ㅁㅁDay]
I overslept a little today
It's because I tossed and turned too much thinking about Ares yesterday…
I need to restrain myself
…………
………
……
Today too, I searched hard around the school as Ares said
I still can't see Lana
It seems she's still skipping school
And I still don't see the rat Ares mentioned
Instead
There was a strange person
• • •
'A strange person…?'
In the next day's diary entry, there was something written about a strange person.
However, it wasn't about seeing someone she had already seen again.
It was about a genuinely strange person.
• • •
It was a female student, and her face was one I recognized
But I had never spoken to her before
At some point, she called me from behind
And suddenly asked for my hair
…It was creepy, so I refused
But then that girl
Suddenly reached out her hand to my head and plucked out a few strands of my hair
And ran away
Laughing cheerfully as if she was happy
Could that person be the one Ares was talking about?
A strange person…
It feels gross
• • •
"Hair…?"
The diary entry was a little different from what I had expected.
…Why hair?
Was it a different ghost story or anomaly?
No, that wasn't it.
This was definitely information related to that Doppelgänger.
I had a feeling.
"Don't tell me…."
I immediately checked the diary entry for the next day.
• • •
[ㅁㅁMonth ㅁㅁDay]
I was standing there
• • •
"……"
The first sentence of the next day's diary.
It informed me that my ominous premonition had hit the mark exactly.
• • •
Is that the strange person Ares was talking about?
Why does she look exactly like me?
It's scary…
When I told Ares, he told me to skip school
He told me not to come out of my room at all
Ares, he was really worried…
What is he planning to do?
Won't Ares be in danger too?
Scary… scary…
Mom…
.
.
Adding to the diary before I sleep
There's a wound on my body I've never seen before
I'm sure I didn't have a wound like this
It hurts
It hurts so much
Ares
• • •
[ㅁㅁMonth ㅁㅁDay]
When I woke up in the morning, my leg was broken
It hurts so much
It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts
Scary
Help me Ares
Will it help you if I write in the diary?
There's so much I want to do for you
Scary scary scary
I miss you A r e s

"……."
The next page was completely blank.
There should have been content for another three days.
There was no content.
"You son of a bitch…."

[Ugh… does it just end like that??]
[NightRat: Didn't you say the rat in the duty room had its stomach burst open too?]
ㄴ[Ares: It was bitten and torn]
ㄴ[NightRat: That seems to be the method of killing]
ㄴ[NightRat: It seems to be the kind of anomaly that changes its appearance by obtaining a part of the opponent's body]
ㄴ[NightRat: And in that state, if it meets the original, it kills them by self-harming]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Then was Lana's hair plucked out like that too??]
ㄴ[NightRat: Could be, or the Doppelgänger could have accidentally picked it up and eaten it]
[RedNightSky: Still, it's a relief you found out in advance]
ㄴ[RedNightSky: The hair-plucking is tomorrow's event, right?]
ㄴ[RedNightSky: Then you can stop it beforehand]
The target changed to Ellie.
And Ellie would die in three days.
But as one fixed user said, the fortunate thing was that I had discovered this in advance with the diary.
'Should I tell Ellie to skip school tomorrow too….'
However, that would create a problem.
Excluding Ellie from this ghost story.
Would mean that I would have to find and deal with the Doppelgänger without knowing the future from now on.
…All while not knowing the most important thing, how to deal with the Doppelgänger.
Just then.
Sreuk~
'NightRat…?'
NightRat had posted a comment.
ㄴ[NightRat: No, don't stop it]
"Huh…?"
It was a very incomprehensible statement, telling me not to stop the future.
But this guy wouldn't say something like this without a reason.
ㄴ[Ares: Why? Got a good idea??]
ㄴ[NightRat: Ellie becoming the Doppelgänger's target is a bit dangerous, but on the other hand, it's an opportunity]
ㄴ[NightRat: In any case, it seems pretty clear that the trigger for the original's death is the original and the fake meeting]
ㄴ[NightRat: Lana didn't die because you prevented them from meeting, right]
'That's true….'
Judging by the contents of Ellie's diary, her body started getting hurt right after she met the fake Ellie.
The injuries were presumed to be from the fake Ellie's self-harm.
That was probably the rule of the Doppelgänger ghost story.
Change appearance.
Meet.
Kill.
In other words, if the 'meet' in the middle didn't happen, the original wouldn't die.
ㄴ[Ares: But even so, is there a need to keep Ellie as the Doppelgänger's target??]
But the question still remained.
Why did Ellie have to be put in a dangerous situation?
ㄴ[NightRat: You have to finish the test]
ㄴ[NightRat: Since you have to find a way to deal with the Doppelgänger]
'Test…?'
The answer from NightRat was a bit hard to understand.
Because there were no tests left to do on the fake side, except for pure sexual harassment.
But I was wrong.
The test NightRat was talking about.
ㄴ[NightRat: You haven't tested it on the real one yet, have you]
"……!"
The moment I saw that comment, a thought flashed through my mind.
Right.
That was it.
Why hadn't I thought of that.
As NightRat said, there was still something left to test.

[NightRat: And Ellie?]
ㄴ[Ares: I called her out for a bit]
The next day.
As written in the diary, Ellie encountered that strange female student during the morning break.
She suddenly appeared from behind.
And plucked out her hair.
"Ares…."
"Ah, you're here?"
"Yeah…."
Afterward, during lunch time.
I called Ellie to the deserted 5th floor of the east staircase.
"Just like you said, Ares, she took my hair…. Who is she? Is she the person you were looking for?"
"Yeah, that's right. But she's probably changed her appearance by now."
"……Changed her appearance?"
"More importantly, Ellie, this might be a bit surprising. …But would it be okay if I asked you for one more favor?"
"A favor? What favor?"
"……."
I hesitated for a moment.
Because if I wasn't careful, I could be mistaken for a weirdo.
…But it should be fine with Ellie.
We had gone through the movie theater ghost story together once.
And she trusted me.
"Is it, ……okay if I bite you, Ellie?"
"……Huh?"
What NightRat had thought of, what I hadn't tested yet.
It was —wounding the original.
If a wound was made on the fake, that wound was transferred to the original.
[NightRat: But that kind of voodoo doll-style ghost story usually has a reverse direction that's also possible]
[NightRat: We have to check if it works]
And if that was possible.
The method to deal with the Doppelgänger would also become clear.
"I-it might sound strange, but don't misunderstand…!"
"Y-yeah!"
"It's really wholesome…! I'm doing it to help you, Ellie!"
"Yeah…!"
At my strange request, Ellie blushed and lowered her head.
At that, for some reason, I also felt a heat rise and became shy.
'I'm just going to bite her arm….'
Still, it was a relief.
It was fortunate that it was Ellie; if it had been any other female student, I would never have been able to make such a request.
As NightRat said, throwing Ellie as bait seemed to have been a good choice.
"I-I'm…, it's okay. Ares."
"Really…?"
"Yeah, …since it's you, Ares, as a special exception, ……I'll grant it."
"Thanks, I-I'll be quick."
The atmosphere somehow became awkward.
Let's get this over with quickly.
Like that, I slowly reached out my hand to grab Ellie's arm.
But…
"Wait a moment…."
"Huh…?"
Instead of holding out her arm, Ellie.
Began to unbutton her shirt.
Tuk, tuk!!
……Huh?
Sreuk~
"Okay, I'm ready."
"……."
"……Here, ……come."
"……."
Ellie, with a flushed face, gently undid her shirt and spread it open.
At that, Ellie's snow-white nape and …the tremendous cleavage below it were revealed before my eyes.
Huh…?
So….
If I bit her arm…….
"A-Ares…, hurry…."
So, her arm…….
"……."
But pathetically, I couldn't say it.
Of course, I couldn't.
Ellie had swallowed her embarrassment and shown me the nape of her neck.
If I said it was a misunderstanding and that her arm was fine, wouldn't Ellie be too embarrassed?
"Th-then…."
"Yeah…."
I gently placed my hands on Ellie's shoulders.
The thin, soft body of a girl.
I could feel her warm body temperature through my hands, and I could feel Ellie's body trembling faintly.
And,
I slowly brought my mouth to Ellie's neck.
"Hah…!"
"……."
The warm, soft skin touched my mouth.
For some reason, it seemed sweet too.
Wow, the scent of her hair…, is it shampoo…?
Warm, soft….
"Ares, ngh…, Ares…."
"……."
"It's, okay…."
Ellie's slender hands wrapped around my waist and gently hugged me.
Squish~
At that, Ellie's large breasts were pressed against my chest.
And I comfortably bit down on Ellie's nape.
Chomp….
"Hngh…!"
How hard should I bite…?
I wasn't sure.
If I did it half-heartedly, I might not be able to experiment properly.
"Ares…, haah…, Ares…."
"……."
Without realizing it, I wrapped my hands around Ellie's waist.
A cozy feeling.
A feeling that somehow made me want to be tormented.
And just then.
Ellie, who was breathing heavily, gently whispered in my ear.
"…It's okay to do it …harder."
"……."
At that voice, I clenched my jaw tightly.
"Ah…! Ngh…! Ahh…!"
I could feel Ellie's soft skin sinking into my teeth.
And Ellie trembled even more, hugging my body tightly.
A moment later.
I slowly pulled my mouth away.
Normally, I had bitten hard enough to cause a wound and draw blood.
There should have been a clear mark of my teeth where I had pulled my mouth away.
But…
—Ellie's nape was clean, without any wounds.
