"If you're talking about that fat pig, he's already out of here."
Duanmu Ai spoke bluntly, leaving Niijima Makoto completely taken aback.
"Eh?"
"As principal, he let bullying and harassment in the school run rampant and even led to a student jumping off a building to commit suicide. He thought he could get away with saying he knew nothing about it? Hmph, not a chance. If he had any shame, he would've resigned voluntarily; otherwise, the board would've kicked him out the door."
Duanmu Ai spoke quietly, then looked toward Niijima Makoto.
"Oh, by the way, I'm taking over as the interim principal."
"Eh—————!?"
Needless to say, this was the most shocking thing to Niijima Makoto.
"Duanmu? You're taking over as principal?"
"I'll be in charge until a new principal is found. Don't ask why, and besides, only you and Kawakami Sensei know about this for now. Don't spread the word."
"...…Okay, I got it."
