Dakara, Anata o Koko de Koroshimasu

- About thirteen years ago now.

Karen was a well-known local defect and lived every day alone away from her surroundings due to her poor predisposition.

He often got more hands on it than was necessary because of his strong sense of justice, and he was cautious more than once because of his personality, which favoured violence.

Eventually, she pushes off her parents' opposition because she can ram one on the battlefield over being able to protect an unspecified number of people, and enrolls in military training schools.

The environment did not change its reputation, but the training greatly stretched its grades and the eyes of those around it turned to fear, to live a life of solitude from loneliness.

That one day.

For firearms training, Karen was headed to the shooting range and was lightly slapped in the back.

Looking back, a gray-eyed girl with gray hair had Karen's student notebook.

I dropped this.

"... n"

Just one word back, Karen takes it and turns around.

Usually she is feared by other students, so the conversation is over here.

But not today.

But they grabbed me by the shoulder.

"Hey."

"Ah?"

Karen, who faced the girl's behavior, looks back and stares at her.

The girl did not wander over the ghostly sword screen, staring straight back at Karen.

"You, where are you going to exercise?

"... shooting"

"Yes, so am I. Nice to meet you."

That said, the girl smiles and offers her hand.

Karen can't read the intent, she just leans her neck.

"... what are you trying to say?"

"Oh, I don't think you heard. They'll be pairing up for the next shooting exercise. I was wondering about you, and I was wondering if you might want to work with me."

"... say no"

"You don't have anybody to organize anyway, do you? Then go with me, Mr. Cullen."

"You don't have a veto. And why did you give me my name?"

"It was in the student notebook."

…………

And I smile, and I answer, and Karen scratches her head like she's in trouble. Yeah, yeah, after she roars.

I gave her a look of giving up and shook her hand back.

"Uh, already, okay. If you're that interested in me, I'll put you together. You don't look bad."

"Iris."

"What?"

"It's my name. Iris Harvard. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cullen."

That's what she says. She smiles and shakes Karen's hand.

This is the first time Karen has ever been in favor of being contacted by others for all she's ever been afraid of, and she unwittingly gives a facetious look.

Then, narrowly, Karen also opened her mouth.

"... it's Karen. Karen Dashwood"

"Yeah, nice to meet you"

"Hey, you. Are you sure you want to stay with me or something? You're gonna feel bad."

"Really?

Iris pays attention to Karen.

Indeed, Karen was right, the students around her stared at Iris, who was approaching her with strange eyes.

But Iris didn't mean to.

"Nothing, that's about it. But I'm not your friend, I'm not your friend, I'm your friend."

――――

To Iris' words. Now it's time for Karen to stop.

After solidifying for a while, it blew out.

"Phew, you don't sound right."

"Become!? Suddenly what!

"And you're unconscious. Fine, you like it."

Having said that, Karen smiles ill will and turns her arm around Iris' shoulder.

Keep your lips close to her ear, a word.

From today on, you're my aide.

"Huh!?

Iris facing Karen's words.

In contrast, Karen laughs pee-pee.

"I'll be stronger than anyone. Then one day you'll be commander-in-chief."

"What ambition...... What do you want to do when you're commander-in-chief?"

"Nothing. I'm fine. I just want it, but I just want it to stay."

"Ha... What, that childish reasoning. I can't hear you. That cloudless eye tells the story of a true fool."

"You have a bad mouth!?

"That's not true!!

Karen and Iris making a scene.

The impression of meeting each other for the first time was "worst," but this day prompted the two of them to exchange words and often sit next to each other for courses.

Then safely the two graduated from training school and enlisted in the Ermerado National Army. Miraculously, the two were assigned to the same squad, and out on the battlefield.

- - Karen lost her left eye sheltering Iris.

"Karen! Karen!! Hold on!!

Iris speaks desperately to Karen, who is drilling a hole in one eye and bleeding from it without stopping and blurring her consciousness.

With that Iris call, Karen turns her face to Iris, and her breath responds constantly.

"Wow, no... Iris. Screwed....................."

"Fool!! Why did you protect me?

"'Cause without you, haha... I can't, because..."

"Huh!!

To Karen's words Iris crooked his face and wept.

"I'm the aide... you're the commander-in-chief, aren't you?

"... ahhh..."

"Then I will raise you to Commander-in-Chief!! That's not why he's dead in here!!

"Oh my... oh my..."

"I don't even have to apologize! Just get that scratch blocked and get him up!!

That's what Iris says. He turns his hand around Karen's shoulder and starts walking.

As he was carrying Karen that way, Iris shrugged in a pompous and small voice.

"... you're the one who has to be here."

"Long time no see, woman"

Hildre, a girl wearing a gas mask that covers her face with blonde hair.

She quietly looks at Karen and squeals, unable to read her expression.

"... though the atmosphere seems very different. Unlike before, I can't feel the will."

"Mr. Karen!!

Olivia screams at Karen even as she breaks her arm and is unable to move into severe pain.

However, she still appeared not to be here.

Hilldollar tilts his neck slightly when he sees it.

"... what's up? Where did the temper I showed you disappear?

"... you"

Finally Karen looks up to Hildre and squeals.

And.

with a broken grin, she said.

"That's enough. Kill me."

…………

"Mr. Karen, what are you saying-!?"

"I can't do this without Iris."

Lay down your eyes. Karen says in a sad voice.

Karen can't live up to Iris' romantic feelings. Even if I can forgive myself for overlapping my body with her, my heart cannot allow me to forge a stepped relationship from there forward.

But I did have feelings for Iris. She was a valued companion. Together, they have survived their predicament and fought together to reach the same world.

So even if you reach the top of it, it doesn't make sense if you don't have her. Karen was beginning to think so.

Even if you don't like her, the percentage in your heart was certainly huge.

"So forget it. Kill me."

"Fool, Mr. Cullen, don't..."

"I don't want a warrior or anything that I'm not willing to fight. Disappear immediately, woman."

After Hildoll opened his mouth with a voice that sounded like he had given up half of his mind.

With the roar, I punched Karen in the head.

Lightly.

Karen Dashwood's head was crushed and her consciousness pruned in an instant.

Oddly enough, it's just like Iris' death, on the verge of shattering his head.

Karen, who had the same death as Iris, was grinning.

"Have you settled down a bit?"

A side of sublunar incense (Tuberose) per.

Surrounded by its intense scent, Karen stood on the flower garden.

And right in front of me is Elena smiling with her red eyes open.

"... I thought I was dead"

Ignoring Elena's words, Karen glances at her and asks.

But without moving to her sword screen, Elena twirls around Karen.

Respond as you go around.

'You are immortal. You'll normally come back to life with that kind of wound.'

"Son of a bitch. Let's get him to Iris."

"Phew, is that right"

Whirl, whirl.

Elena turns.

'Your past, I've got a peek. You're a nice guy.'

"Shut up."

'Even the body has been layered many times. It was the mind that understood each other without having to make sense, and buried each other's minds. What a good man.'

"Shut up."

Whirl. Whirl.

smile around and she says.

'How could she be dead? Shall I tell you?

――――

Karen lifts her face well to Elena's words.

Desperate shapes as if they were also on straw.

Elena circles behind Karen and hugs her softly.

"Mother" plan. I don't know the whole thing either, but the presence of the immortal was essential for her to carry out the plan. That's well known, isn't it?

"... oh. That's what's going on."

Elena smiles at Karen's words and sensually strokes Karen's lips as she strokes her hair.

'Conditions for becoming immortal, it is to dwell in madness. And the easiest way to destroy man is to give him deep despair.'

"............... what do you mean"

While returning Elena's words with questions, Karen was driven by a strange sense of impatience.

I don't think you should listen to Elena. My brain is alarming that it's dangerous any more.

But while understanding in the back of his head, it should be noted that Karen couldn't stop listening.

Elena crossed to the front and gently turned her hand around Karen's neck.

Stand still, stare and tell pleasantly.

'I've always been interested in you, Karen. I've been worried about how I can make you desperate. That's where the girl showed up. "

"Hey, no way is that..."

I look at Karen, whose blood draws away, and Elena's mouth angle hangs.

Smiling sluttily, she gently mouthed Karen's ear and whispered a sweet, cruel truth as she hit a hot exhale.

'Iris, that girl was killed because she met you. Since the beginning, I've only been kept alive to kill you as a sacrifice to' complete 'you.'

Karen was told the words.

I remember so much glare that it darkens in front of me that I can't breathe, and.

"………………………………………………………"

That look collapses.

No, it's broken.
