Dakara, Anata o Koko de Koroshimasu

"Well, let's start with your own name."

With that said, Zhihua picks up a slightly larger stone and writes his own name on the wall.

"You Ermerados use letters that say," Is there a way? "So, this is the letter" kanji ", which is commonly used in the eastern country where I was born."

and Zhihua writes the letter "Sakasaki Sakai Mind" on the wall as he speaks happily.

Seeing it, Rico glanced at the letter in front of him and said something.

"... I have no idea"

"But if I can't write my own name, I'm in a lot of trouble."

Rico stares at his face and notes his name on the floor as he desperately stares at the letter in front of him.

My hands stopped when I wrote the awkward but diligently even the letter 'Akasaki'.

"What's going on?

"... nasty"

And Rico threw the stone he had and held his throwing head.

Watching it makes me laugh bitterly.

"Well, the letter of the Eastern Country is famous in the world for its difficulty... But I'm just gonna photograph it, right?

"It looks like an elusive painting..."

"Haha...... But I'm in trouble. Changing Kanji will change the meaning of the name."

And I scratched my head and where I was worried, Xuhua said "Ah".

And you flashed. Shit and rubbed stones against the wall, "Rico," he wrote.

"Say 'Katakana' for this. It's a letter made easier to write by breaking down" Kanji ". Now you're gonna read" Riko, "right?

"... yeah, I can write this!

and Rico joyfully runs the letters and writes up the name "Rico Akasaki".

Seeing it, Xuahua gently stroked Rico's hair and smiled satisfactorily.

"Then again. Best regards, Rico."

"Yeah, hey!

That day.

'Dolls' became 'humans'.

- Then.

Then, Rico taught various things from Jinhua.

About the 'outside' world in this lab. About the Hermelado Army here. A fairy tale from a distant country. Food other than 'bait' paid every morning and night.

Among other things, Rico was interested in his hometown, the country of the east.

A culture that is overwhelmingly different from the knowledge overwritten (installed) on Rico's brain. It was fresher and more exciting than anything to be touching exactly one end of it right now.

During the day, he "studies" with Jihua, and at night, he talks about how he and I have no other love for each other as they wind up in a worn blanket because the restaurant cools down.

And from time to time Rico is taken to Sakura, who calls her "Observation," to show off her experiments.

I can show one girl up close to being destroyed.

Rico cried out in such a painful sight, and resisting to turn away is also immobilized by Sakura's 'power' and is not allowed to escape.

It had also become routine for Hua Hua to hold and appease Rico, who was thus exhausted.

That such a life goes on for 3 years.

Suddenly, a turning point came to her.

"............... hey"

Rico, wrapped in a futon in the form of a hug as usual, talks to Jihua.

Seeing Rico trembling on his shoulder to be frightened by the heavy atmosphere and something, he perceived that it was not only a matter of business, Xihua stares back with a serious eye to calm her down without haste.

Am I really not sure if I should say it, at first my eyes couldn't quite open the swimming mouth, but eventually Rico began to gaze and talk to Jihua about whether he had decided to.

"... we homunculus are artificially made humans"

"Yeah."

"So by the time we were born, a lot of people had been turned into experimental benches and died."

"... yes, what"

"That's not all. We're bringing a lot of people here to make our 'souls' sacrifice."

…………

"Hey, you're one of them. It's an 'ingredient' taken away to create us (homunculus)......!

――――

Successful to the truth told by Rico.

Did you talk that far and get driven by self-blame? Rico whimpers and weeps.

"So, so. I really should have never been born......! Many people have been killed because of my birth!!

"Rico."

Hua controls Rico, who cries and cries out for emotions.

Li Hua gently reaches out to Rico's hair and strokes him.

And I shrugged my cheeks to appease her, whispering gently in her ear.

"It's okay. Rico can live."

"Huh!"

Rico opens his eyes all the way to the words of Hua Hua.

"I certainly can't forgive what Sakura (him) did. But Rico isn't, is he? Is Rico going down the same path as him?

"There's no way I would do that!

Strongly deny the words of Hua Hua.

At this time, for the first time, Rico rejected Sakara.

It was a moment when I could really be a 'human' with a clear will from 'doll', which was all she had to say.

Hua smiles softly at Rico's reply like that.

"Then that's fine. I can't choose a parent to be born. Maybe you're making a lot of people unhappy when you're born."

…………

"But you can choose the path after you are born"

Rico looks up at Hua's face as he jumps up.

"So if someone you really don't know has been sacrificed because of you, you also live to make amends for them. You have to at least fight them so they can mourn and live hard. And one day, laugh at him, 'It's good to be alive'. You have that right, too."

"Hey, honey......!

Rico is hit hard in the chest by the words of Hua Hua.

There is also a place for a worthless self that has killed many people and abandoned them as' failures' on top of it. There are people who wish I could live.

Rico was in tears remembering the irresistible joy in that fact.

"So let's get out of here"

Ji Hua stares into Rico's eyes and says:

"Let's get out of here. And live. Will I die of wild drowning in this place? I'll tell Rico that this world is big and beautiful."

"But I can't believe you're running away... There's no way to deceive 'Mother' 's eyes..."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it"

Xuhua glanced at Rico and smiled back at him like that.

"This world is wasteful, pointless, worthless and even cruel."

Sakura shrugged small.

Suggestion to escape from here.

The day after I told Rico about it, Zhihua decided.

But I didn't think of a decent operation or anything like that.

In the first place, they are literally monstrous people who can freely manipulate 'magic'. It's up to me to see through how much I've thought about it.

Then what?

The answer is simple.

Hua Hua is sacrificed.

Other than that, I couldn't think of any other way for her.

"Hey, honey!

Rico screams in desperate shape as he is thrown outside the cabin.

Left behind by the barn, the hua sheds blood from his head, yet exasperates.

"Just run away! Don't worry about me!

"So, so!!

"Just go!!

The actions taken by Hua Hua are simple.

An unusually white blonde homunculus named Hildoll was trying to take Rico away to 'experiment' on this day.

And just before Hildoll tried to take Rico away, Chihua crashed into Rico, blew him right outside, and went on to fall into Hildoll.

Immediately hit back by Hilldollar, some of his temples are torn and bleeding, but he doesn't mind yelling at Rico.

"You live! Run away from here and be happy alive!

"But that's your old man!

"You don't have to be without me! So run!!

"Huh!!

Rico brings tears to his fury and bites his lips so hard that he bleeds.

And just a little tour.

I turned my heel back and ran out.

"Sorry!!

My vision seeps in and I only hear my own footsteps.

Rico's emotions exploded as soon as he continued to run without looking back and realized that he was separated from Hua Hua.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Rico screams so much that his tears are overflowing and his voice is about to dry.

Sadness due to her separation from her sister, and driven by regret and self-reproach, Rico nevertheless kept running without stopping.

'Mother' whispered inadvertently in her ear.

"Where are you going?

"Huh!?

Shortly after, a shock runs on Rico's back.

He felt the pain of burning his back, blowing heavily forward and rolling vigorously down the ground.

He makes tons of scratches and moles because of hitting his body all over the place, and his consciousness becomes blurred.

"Ha ha, ooh... Ya, I need to..."

Groaning in pain, Rico slowly rises up and begins to walk flutteringly and indelibly.

You lost interest in Rico. The footsteps behind you gradually turn away.

"Hey....................."

In his hazy consciousness, Rico thought of the face of Hua Hua, spilling tears.

I want to.

I get confused once in a while.

I'd like to.

I'm hungry.

I'm stuck with you.

Samurai.

Rico fluttered as he was hit by pouring rain and continued walking aimlessly with heavy footsteps.

I'm already so far away from Sakura's lab. But Rico didn't even realize that. He was moving his body semiunconsciously, just "if he didn't run away".

But the pain caused by the wound and mole disturbed consciousness, and the hunger and cold rain surely deprived him of his strength, and Rico, who eventually reached his limit, deposited himself to hit the door of a certain private doorway and crouched as he drifted.

"Hey..."

Sadness and regret for losing my dear 'sister' because of me.

And the despair of having to live this world alone and without guessing.

Fear that Sakura might find you.

Every negative emotion pushes Rico over, letting him bow his face and leak a whimper.

"What's going on?

Unexpectedly, I was called out.

Tingling, and shaking his body, Rico looks up.

A beautiful girl with watery eyes stood in front of her with white ponytail hair.

She was only smiling, but she couldn't hide her exhaustion if anything painful had happened to her, too.

The serene atmosphere is marked by blood all over her back.

- Why, the shadow seemed overlapping with Sakura.

"Hih!?

Rico remembers fear in the girl in front of him, screaming with caution.

The girl had a frozen look at Rico's tragic appearance, but was it even sympathetic?

Suddenly, I hugged Rico.

"Huh!? Oh, oh, oh, oh!!

Moment after moment, Rico remembers being held by Sakura and makes her body rumble desperately trying to resist.

- Scary, scary, scary, scary. I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't want to. Hey, honey, help me.

There is a strong scream from my heart that seems to crack. And he was screaming so loud that he was going to exceed his limits even from Rico's mouth.

The girl weeps at such Rico's sad appearance and whispers in her ear many times as she rubs her back.

"It's okay, it's okay...!

Gentle voice. Warm body.

Though his heart was messed up by negative emotions, and he could not understand the translation and was about to go mad at Sakura's phantom, Rico felt something warm pouring in.

The gestures and voices are as if they were a luxury.

- Hey, honey...............

The whisper ended with Rico letting go of consciousness.
