Alchemist Yuki's Strategy

My head turned bright white.

Flirting and glowing, hands on the wall.

……

I didn't know what to do.

One step, two steps and retreat to support the cold wall and look back into darkness as you flee the light.

It's as if you're dreaming, walking into the back of the darkness with an unrestrained foothold.

The area is surrounded by darkness, and the light of stabbing from far away is small and unreliable.

At last, from my feet, I lost my ability to walk, and I was sitting on the cold ground.

Second, something came up in my mind that was surrounded by nothingness.

- It was anger.

"Huh!... just kidding!!

My voice clings to me in the dark.

The cane slammed to the ground emits a dull sound, knocking the cane to the ground over and over again, even though his arm is paralysed.

"I'm kidding. Bullshit! Bullshit!!

Raise your voice in anger.

The overflowing Shizukuishi distorts his vision, a wand that does not scratch one leaves his paralyzed arm and rolls in front of him.

"It's a fool's habit, this..."

"- Traitor!

The screaming voice disappears into darkness.

I felt like someone used to say the same thing to that cry that I heard overlapping someone's voice.

"Oh, hey... hey..."

I exhale the stomach acid that came up from my empty stomach to the disgust that came in.

Something worn out and cold conveyed his cheeks, dripping off.

I didn't know.

What are you angry about, why are you disgusting, why can't you stop crying?

"Ugh, gu... bukah... uhh..."

Yes, it's stupid.

That's stupid.

- Is that why you used it?

No. I can't do anything without me. You'll die right away without me, fool.

That's why I have to stay with you.

Now it's time to protect you.

"Bullshit... KANG, NA... WOW... GUCH"

Yeah, those guys are kidding.

Yuki, who at times gazed from the top, was an amazing person to actually stand on top of.

I can do anything, I'm not even a genius.

The busy Kraw is much smarter than me and handles his temper well.

I was a subordinate compatible between the two.

Yuki says I can't beat such a monster.

I was scared.

To die.

- Is that really all?

... I'm sure more than that, I was afraid everyone would die because of my failures.

So I decided not to start from the beginning and tried to escape.

"Ugh... giri, stuff..."

The traitor was me.

He was scared of the power in front of him, just like he used to, and he escaped forgetting his true fear.

If there was a next time, I would have decided never to betray my friends again.

How could I have forgotten?

I did the same thing again.

I've been left alone again.

"Ah, ah...!

Darkness crawls over.

"Who, ahhh!

The scream went up. My body trembles in fear, searching for light for help.

There is no light that should have been there some time before I looked back, and I am the only one in the cold dark.

Anger goes to its own impudence.

Chest pain is guilt.

Disgust is harsh self-loathing.

I'm afraid to die. I'm afraid it hurts. I'm afraid of power.

But I remembered.

Something scarier than death, more than pain.

Just one, left in the dark.

I'm afraid of the dark.

It's easy to die.

I picked up the awesome cane Yuki gave me.

You can use this to blow my heart out.

But what if he dies?

There was the next one, and then there was the next one.

I forget again, do the same thing over and over again, destroy my loved ones with my own hands, and be alone.

That was despair.

You can't shake it off when you're dead, the darkness of perpetual robbery.

- Then we have to cut it off.

I can't. It's too late. I can't see the light anymore.

- So you're giving up?

You don't have a choice. I forgot everything.... I forgot something I shouldn't forget...

- Is she expecting you?

"Huh?"

That's... Alive?

- Hehe, come on, stand up. The light hasn't been lost yet.

A kind, warm voice.

As I echo that voice, me and my wand begin to shed a light of pale silver.

- If you want the power to resist despair, you should feel strong and wish.

A voice like I've heard somewhere.

Heavy sinking consciousness surfaces little by little, and something warm rushes through the cold body.

If I could get that kind of power, I would do anything......!

- That's good. That strong wish of yours, which reminds me of faith, will surely be fulfilled.

The silver light becomes stronger.

The intense light strikes out the darkness that was enveloping the perimeter with ease, and a vast and warm force pours into me in different digits.

This... evolves...?

- If you don't forget your wish, you'll be fine. "I" believe in you.

... Is that it? This voice could be you.

- My consciousness is broken.
