Dakara, Anata o Koko de Koroshimasu

Episode 41: The Murderer Celestia Valentine (Part I)

"I went to say hello to my senior room...... Still no reply, Sus."

Jillian told me with a strange face when I went back to the living room.

Karen, who heard the report, spits out in agony with a cigarette in one hand.

I can get in with the smell of the inside of the room.

"Right...... I'm sorry you let me go so many times, Jillian."

"No, it's okay, su. I want to do this for my seniors. I can't do it at all."

"But you can't keep waiting forever like this. For once, we're losing our place. I need to wake you up, Mr. Sella, quickly."

"That said, you can't help it. I lost the one I cherished the most. I understand the pain very well, too."

Karen only faces Olivia's bitterness and scratches her head like she's in trouble.

And smoke again and inhale the smoke slowly.

I lowered my eyes and turned my gaze far away, squealing small as I spewed out smoke.

"In the end, you mean we can't help you, Rico..."

- Two weeks have passed since I finished my battle with the Huahuas.

To put it bluntly, Karen and the others were stuck.

- The battle was already over when Karen and the others arrived at Serra's.

There was a figure of Serra crying with Rico's remains.

If you ask me, the implanted 'bomb' detonated. The condition is to defeat Zhihua. From the beginning, I didn't mean to let Rico help me. I was frustrated by that cowardly M.O. rage and helplessness that I couldn't help, and I could only shake.

Until this time, however, there was no abnormality in Serra's condition. Although it did become mentally unstable, I was still able to converse with her.

Then we went back downtown and found a worn out vacant home and they decided to stay there. The hotel had only been booked for one night because they had not originally planned to stay for a long period of time, and most importantly, the citizens were suspicious of their girlfriends, who bore the smell of intense blood. I was fortunate to have had some vacant houses in only a quiet town.

And Karen and the others suggested building her grave to at least mourn Rico. Karen and the others had guessed that Serra would probably be rejected because she shook her shoulder as soon as she heard that statement, but unexpectedly Serra was nodding at the suggestion. Still, even at this time, she was about to take Rico's death.

He then deposited with Serra the bracelet to which the red jewels Rico wore were connected, and made him a simple coffin, where he put Rico's body to sleep and buried him. Then a few minutes later something strange happened to Serra.

He looked at Rico's tomb for a while as if he was stunned, but suddenly he shouted and cried down on the spot.

I squeezed Rico's bracelet, calling Rico's name over and over again, "Give it back!," he cried. Its appearance was too sad for Karen and the others to even look directly at it.

How much experience in combat she has gained and where she was ready she is one girl. Her heart is not strong enough to lose a lover she has always cherished and keep calm.

Time went by, and after I stopped crying, I stopped moving off the spot. I didn't reply to the call, and even when I went back to my room, supported by the Jillians, I had a fluttering foothold.

And some time after I put her back in her private room, Serra locked herself.

- It's been two weeks and I'm still stuck in my room.

…………

Serra sat silently kneeling on the bed.

He wears a bracelet with an empty gem on his right arm and a bracelet with a red gem on his left arm.

so that I can feel Rico's presence a little closer...... I have been wearing it for two weeks since then, but I couldn't fill it with loneliness or loneliness.

I don't drink, I don't eat, and I haven't slept in any way until today. She is immortal, but therefore will not starve to death due to malnutrition, but her body has lost weight, and her eyes are bright red swollen and she has a thick neighborhood due to crying all the time.

My emotions have also become unstable, and I have been crying out all the time immersed in my memories with Rico. Further, under the influence of approaching the 'critical point', she had lost her anger and fear emotions, and Serra had been hunted down to the point where she was on the verge of becoming an abolitionist.

It was only a matter of the earliest time before the spirit reached its limits and to death.

It was Serra burying her face in her lap sobbing, but she felt some sign of it and squirmed with a still withering voice.

"... you're here, Sakura"

"Aha, I'm out.✩Yes, I'm coming out now."

There was no sound, and Sakura was appearing in front of me.

Serra looks up quietly and stares back at Sakara with an unpleasant look.

"... Rico is a homunculus, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. The eagle made it."

"Then make it again"

Serra says, shaking her voice.

"I can't do this anymore. I can't stand no more Rico. Do anything. Ask anything. So, please. Let me see Rico."

With tears in her eyes, Serra begs Sakura as she shrugs.

But all Sakura had to do was sigh back "ha" at how Sera was doing.

"... Are you insane? Do you really understand what you're talking about? I'm trying to create life artificially. Blasphemy by making it the greatest contraindication to life, it"

"Still, okay"

"And making homunculus involves massive sacrifices. Rico, hundreds of people will die to make one. Are you sure about that?

"Fine."

Serra returns without a moment of patrol.

"I don't care about the others anymore. Let me see Rico. I'll really do anything. I listen to everything, so. Please…"

Serra really didn't even care about other people or anything.

Serra wouldn't even hesitate now to kill someone else if it were to meet Rico. It's already trivial for Sera, even if it's Sakura's handkerchief. I'm just saying, if you could just let Rico see you, you wouldn't even spare me giving you your life.

Serra had been broken by the time she had such contradictory thoughts. Rico, who was a stopper, had been lost, destroying ethics because he couldn't contain his madness, and because he couldn't accept reality, and both his abominations and his guilt had disappeared.

Oh, no.

Look back at Serra, who's about to run out of time now.

Sakura speaks out.

"I can't."

Serra's eyes are opened when she is told.

sera inquires as she grabs Sakura's shoulder softly and becomes semi-frequent.

"What!? You are 'God' what is it!? Then it's not as good as bringing Rico back to life! Hey, let me see you soon! I can't do this anymore. Yikes!!

"There are so many things I can't even eagle to say that. Hey, Serra. Do you know where the dead human soul goes?

"If they say that, I don't know......!

"Well, right. Correct answer, disappear. You disappear, you're gone."

――――

Serra stops moving perfectly to Sakura's words.

Sakura looked away and gave her a nostalgic look as if she were going to tell a memorable story.

"Once upon a time, the eagle also lost a loved one. When I realized he was dead and couldn't even give me time to nurse. So I did my best to think that Homunculus could do it. I couldn't do it no matter how."

"Oh no..."

Serra's face stains with despair in Sakura's words.

Sakara, who saw it, had a look of sympathy, not a smile.

"At first. Can you stand being fake and nasty? But, you know, it makes me uncomfortable that I'm not that guy as I deal with him step by step. The same face, the same voice, and the same tone make me more and more sick to talk about different things. After all, no matter what you scratch, you'll never see the dead again."

"Then what shall I do!!

"Think for yourself there. Can you keep rotting away, or find what you want to do with your own will? Good luck finding it."

"Wait!!

Without waiting for Serra's still voice, Sakura walks away.

The remaining Serra touched Rico's bracelet and stunned for a while.

- Live.

"………………"

Suddenly, I breathe in Rico's voice rebelled in my head.

At the earliest, this is a curse. It's so hard, painful and painful to lose someone you like, but still doesn't let me have the option of killing myself because I want to fulfill her wishes. A world without her is not worth it. There is no point in living.

But I'm sure Rico won't forgive me for that. So we just have to live. I have no choice but to live alone in a world without Riko.

- Then you'll forgive me as much as I live the way I want.

Serra was starting to think about that. No, if I didn't think like that anymore, my heart would have broken this time.

I mean, you keep living until the day your life crushes you, and in the meantime, you keep doing what I can. And there's only one more thing left that I can do.

"Okay, Rico... I'll do just a little harder. I'll make sure you live to the end."

I'm not here anymore. Serra whines quietly at her.

And Serra stood up lovingly stroking the red bracelet on her left arm.

No more color perception existed in Serra, but the same color gems were applied to Rico's eyes. I hope so. Because even if the blood splashes, Rico's color won't be lost.

Yes, kill him. Kill them all. Just keep killing them. Because that's all she has left.

Rico's will doesn't matter there. But even Rico would love to see me alive if he liked me.

A human being in this world. My life expectancy is until all of them die. Perhaps I am no longer me when it is accomplished. The spirit will decay by breaking through the 'critical point'.

Let's keep killing until that day comes. Because I am.

"- Because I'm a 'murderer'"

So close it.

Serra took the knife and slowly walked out.

- - What's about to start is not a revenge play.

It's just a homicide play.
