Only the two of us are left in this world. “That’s right, isn’t it?” he replies. When I kiss his cheek, he kisses me back just as much.
I’m happy, I want to stay like this forever. But that happiness soon came to an end. I was slammed to the ground with pain all over my body. Who’s getting in our way!
Looking up, I saw Cecilia’s figure there.
“What are you two doing? Embracing each other here?”
“Of course, we’re lovers!”
It doesn’t matter if they are companions, I’ll get rid of anyone who gets in my way. I drew my dagger and attacked Cecilia.
“Wait! It’s me, Cecilia! Don’t be fooled by his magic!”
“Shut up! Disappear!”
I swung it wildly. Sparks flew as it collided with Cecilia’s sword. The elf’s sword shone brightly; I know her weakness. Just before reaching her arm, I raised my shield and pushed her back. The sword hilt, imbued with strong magic power, was repelled, creating a slight opening.
I stepped forward. My opponent quickly regained her posture and lunged at me. I spun my body and released water from my cloak.
“Huh? Water?”
“Take this!!”
I threw the dagger I was holding. Cecilia, with her natural reflexes, caught the dagger. The electricity from the water-soaked body dealt great damage.
“Shit—Aaaargh!!”
Her arm convulsed violently, and the smell of burnt flesh pricked my nostrils. I took her other hand and thrust the elf’s sword back at her.
“Ah, ah, eh…”
The bloodstains falling drop by drop onto the ground were illuminated by the sword’s light. I did it, haha, I did it! I defeated Cecilia. This proved once again that I was superior.
“Wh-why, why?”
“Ceciliaaaaa—”
Kalbene’s scream could be heard. She was supporting her with her knees on the ground.
“Wh-why, Brother?”
“Why? Because you’re in the way. Do you want to end up like this too?”
Kalbene’s face contorted in tears. Why is this person crying?
“Sharin, Sharin, please, do something, stop my brother.”
Sharin placed her hand on my shoulder and kissed my cheek.
“You’re amazing, could it be for me?”
“Of course, isn’t it amazing? You could praise me more.”
The surroundings seemed noisy. I wanted to go somewhere we could be alone.
“Why! Why! Sister has also gone mad. Hey Cecilia, where are you going, you idiot!”
Cecilia pulled out her sword and ran off somewhere right in front of me. Kalbene followed, but it had nothing to do with me.
“Let’s go somewhere else. It’s too noisy here, huh? Sharin?”
Sharin slipped out of my arms. I collapsed powerlessly to the ground. What happened? Did she suddenly lose consciousness?
“N, n-hehe, the ones in the way need to be… eliminated.”
Lauren appeared instead. Why, how?
“Hiroaki, I love you! Let’s be together forever. It’s, it’s okay, it’ll only be for a moment.”
She spread the iron claws attached to her legs. There were poison needles embedded in them. This is bad, if I get caught by this, I’ll be killed.
“Don’t run away, I love you so much!”
I don’t need this twisted love. She’s probably planning to turn corpses into puppets. Lauren swung her long hair and pursued me.
“W-wait!”
“Someone help me, she’s gone mad!”
I ran through the confused guards. My legs got tangled in a long tail, and I fell. Someone’s body fell on me and was blown away, making me disoriented by the shaking ground. My stomach ached severely. My bumped shoulder hurt, and sand got into my eyes, making me cry.
“I, I found you! Where were you going?”
“Eek!”
Lauren’s arm reached out. Sooner than that, I was scooped up by someone.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nina! Help me, Lauren’s going to kill me!”
“Huh? What are you saying?”
Thump! Lauren approached and hugged Nina. She was trembling and holding her side.
“Wh-why! What are you doing?”
“My, Hiroaki is mine!”
I crawled away from the scene. What, what is happening? Sharin is gone, and I’m all alone. What should I do? There’s nowhere to escape. A giant earthworm just passed in front of me. I could hear the screams of the guards in the distance.
How did it get to this point? My head is spinning, and I can’t remember. What have I been doing until now? At that moment, I heard a distant, loud laugh.
“Hahaha, good! I’m the luckiest person in my life!”
Looking with unfocused eyes, I saw Cecilia and Kalbene bleeding, and Anakura.
