Dakara, Anata o Koko de Koroshimasu

Episode 45: Unreachable Bullets

─ ─ ─ Sometimes, 'I' have weird dreams.

"You murderer!

"You're not human, you're the devil!

The grownups want to stop by and curse me in the mouth.

It was me, a young girl with empty eyes on white paper, who was being yelled at.

I am protesting with my body trembling and tears at the grown-ups cursing.

"Shit, no! I didn't do it! I'm not gonna kill you!! Trust me!!

"Shut up!!

Without giving ear to my desperate appeal, the adults will capture my body and be carried to the stranglehold table.

When I was necked by a rope, I was too panicked of fear to understand what would happen even to me as a young man.

"No, no, no! Help! I don't like it, I don't want to die!! Sorry, sorry!! Oh, my God!"

The words did not last until the end.

The relentless adults activated the stranglehold table, and I was hung and unconscious.

"... heh. Long time no see, Olivia. Come on."

Serra smiles and talks as she captures Olivia's appearance in her sight.

Olivia was baffled by Serra's appearance, which had changed too much after seeing her hate again for the first time in three months.

He is bleeding all over his body, and his eyes are vain and fluttering and limping. But the expression had an unrelenting smile on her face as if she were a child, and that highlighted her madness.

"... Celestia. I will not forgive you. I will never forgive you for killing Mr. Karen and Jillian!!

"Jillian...... who was it?

To Olivia's words, Serra asks with her neck tilted.

The madness that erodes her spirit. Serra's memory was significantly lacking due to the effect that she was approaching the 'critical point'.

She doesn't see a world other than murder and Rico anymore.

But Olivia has no reason to know such circumstances. So Serra's words were too much to exasperate Olivia.

"- Huh!! Come on!!

That being said, Olivia takes out the short machine gun (sub-machine gun) she was carrying on her back and shoots it in a row at Serra without hesitation.

Three months spent with Alice. She was teaching me how to handle this gun. I was going to borrow anything if I could use a hand that I could not read the intent of how she taught me how to use such a weapon, which preached so much love for Serra.

Serra seemed unable to react to the sudden firing, drilling several holes in her torso and falling on her back with a splash of blood.

Out of the way, and from the body of the fallen Selah came unstoppable blood.

─ ─ ─ Well, this is not a dream. It's my memory.

As he bystands a number of recollections, 'I' realizes such a fact.

I'm sure 'I' here now is the last reason left. And now I guess' I 'is looking at the memories that just disappear from me in reality as running lights.

What such 'I' see now was the sight of me and Rico talking at home. Maybe this is the memory of the day I first met Rico.

"I've been wet in the rain and I have trouble catching a cold. I tried to make a stew.

Shall we eat before it gets cold?

…………

He smiles and speaks to me. Rico leans down and pierces his silence.

Apparently, she has a fear of engaging with others. I guess I've been abused or nearly outraged because I have vivid wounds all over my body. That is why I could not let go. It's dangerous to get deeply involved with others because I'm also under the curse of a killing urge in the first place. For that reason, he said he was living alone, pushing off Karen's objections, but he wanted to protect this girl from a glance.

Did Rico decide to take the spoon and carry the stew into his mouth to encourage me to eat as persistently as he could? Moment after moment, Rico's eyes were opened.

Then he shivers his body with a mess, and starts whimpering with tears pounding out of his eyes.

"Ugh... Hih, uhh..."

"Sorry, maybe it didn't fit your mouth!?

I rush to ask Rico about the unexpected reaction.

"Yeah," Rico replies, shaking his neck to the side, holding his eyes with both hands.

"Delicious... warm... wow, I've never been like this before, so..."

I hug and comfort Rico, who cries aloud.

Tears were overflowing from the eyes of 'me' looking at such dazzling memories.

'........................'

This is a memory that is about to disappear from me in reality.

I'm sure when I've finished all this dreaming. When I wake up from a dream. 'Me' here...... Celestia Valentine will be decimated. I have no emotions, no memories. It just creates a 'killer' that just mechanically kills according to the killing impulse.

How could I not protect Rico? I wonder why Rico was killed.

Why? Why not?

─ ─ ─ ─

Oh.

Regret and despair to recruit. I remember it dyeing my mind and losing my emotions.

My heart is already dying even 'me' here. Without Rico, Celestia Valentine would be broken. I'm sure that's not a beautiful love. It was just an ugly dependence to affirm oneself.

Every time I notice that fact, my mind starts to wonder. I scream.

"... Rico"

Pompous.

'I' whine small.

I'm immersed in my next dream again.

"Ha... ha... hey"

Olivia, who was sweating nasty from all over her body and was out of breath, finally stopped enjoying vomiting.

He spits a large amount of blood out of his mouth at the same time as his body loses its strength and falls in. At the same time, all the wounds that had been stitched rampantly were opening and dyeing his body red.

My teeth tremble and I'm struck by intense eyesight. Her body trembles when she hesitates, and by the pain that afflicts her, she learns to nauseate again and exhales blood.

─ ─ ─ ─ It was clear to anyone that Olivia's life would not last that long.

"I'm afraid it won't reach you, Serra."

At some point.

A girl with red and black eyes, blood on her red hair, stood right next to Olivia.

She smiles and reaches for Olivia's lower abdomen.

Guru, and an unpleasant meat noise sounded and Sakura's fingers broke into Olivia's body. Keep going, scratch her wound.

"Ugh, ha!? Eww, uhh..."

"You can't stop Serra anymore. If you really want to kill him, you have to surpass Serra's madness. It doesn't sound like such a cheap vengeance."

"Looks cheap, so...!?

Olivia turns an angry eye to Sakura's words, even though she is not.

"He's been taking away all my loved ones! Can you easily deny that...!!

"But. Hazel, you hate everything in your eyes, and this Sakura has 200 years of obsession, right? If we're gonna kill him with revenge, we have to get to that dimension."

Then he pulls his finger out of Olivia and sensually licks Sakura around her stubborn blood.

Sakura slowly rose after a tranced look.

"All you need for this" plan "of Sakura is three pawns: Serra, Hazel, and Tama-no-chan. You're a mob that hasn't been set up on stage since the beginning."

"Just kidding......!!

"That's why. You'll regret it, but you're behind the curtains here. Curse your own destiny at best."

At the same time, Sakura disappears without a trace.

At the same time a new figure appears before Olivia.

If I raised my gaze, there wouldn't be a scratch there. Serra stood with a knife.

"... Ha"

I unwittingly raise a dry laugh.

"Why...... Both Jillian and Karen are dead, and I'm about to die... Why are you intact?

"Goodbye, Mr. Olivia"

Olivia cries with a nasty look on her face.

To the words Serra did not change her expression, but quietly stuck a knife in her chest.

I can't help but be thoughtless.

That was the last emotion Olivia had.

Serra looks down at Olivia's body quietly.

Serra looked back as she pulled out the knife and shook off her blood, smiling back again.

"Well, shall we go? Riko...?

Serra's movements solidify.

I didn't see 'Rico' anywhere I always watched behind my back.

"Oh, fuck...? Hey," Rico ". Don't joke."

Serra looks around as she half-laughs and quickens her heartbeat.

Driven by anxiety, I'll just run and look for 'Rico'.

But I still can't find it.

"Rico, you're here, aren't you? Reply."

At this time, Serra's anomaly was happening another time.

I should have been looking for Rico, remembering what he looked like.

For some reason, I can't remember anything about Rico.

No, it's not just the figure. I can't even remember her voice.

"Ha... ha...," Rico, "where are you? If you're there, reply."

With tears in her eyes and a half frenzy, Serra desperately looks for Rico.

But at the same time, Serra had become enlightened.

Rico Akasaki is nowhere else in the world.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Crying.

Serra cried out in a city where no one was.

"─ ─ ─"

Thoughts were stained with blanks.
