About

Every night, Ryoba dreamed of meeting her soulmate, falling in love, starting a family, and living happily ever after. She believed these dreams were visions of her future. For years, she constantly fantasized about how she would feel when she finally met him. At last, Ryoba met her upperclassman, Jokichi Yudasei. Though they had never spoken, Ryoba fell in love instantly with Jokichi, who was the boy from her dreams. For a year, she admired him from afar, gathering the courage to speak to him without being disliked, and filled a shrine to her Senpai with things he had touched or owned. A year later, Ryoba learned that Sumire Saitozaki was in love with Jokichi. Ryoba lured her away by placing a note in her locker and murdered her with a knife in the third-floor east girls' restroom. Although she disposed of all evidence, the fact that she was seen carrying a knife by a witness and forgot to wipe away a single bloodstain led the police to determine Sumire's disappearance was a homicide. News of the incident spread nationwide, eventually drawing the attention of a local journalist. After successfully eliminating her first rival, Ryoba continued to stalk Jokichi and any female students who spoke to him, constantly identifying new rivals. As a result, every girl who tried to get close to Senpai was eliminated by any means necessary. Although accused by the journalist, Ryoba escaped conviction by playing the role of a "wrongfully accused, tragic young girl." This branded the journalist and the police as incompetent. The police began to refrain from intervening in incidents at Akademi (this is why police investigations in the main story are so lax). After the trial, when the journalist hid in an alley behind the courthouse to escape the media, Ryoba followed him. Upon finding him, she threatened him with a lifeless smile, saying, "It would be easy to kill you and make it look like a suicide. Never cross me again," before walking away. Ryoba kidnapped Jokichi and took him to her basement. After a long period of confinement, Ryoba and Jokichi married. On April 1, 2008, she gave birth to their daughter, Ayano Aishi.
