"Cape Kun!

Back in Caputo, colorful flowers rushed to see me.

She held my hand and was happy to be safe in tears. [M]

"Cape, did you get hurt? Doesn't hurt anywhere?

"My legs are too slow for me to get far, and I'm late to go home. Still, what happened to getting an evacuation order?

"I'm not sure either, I heard an unidentified anima showed up. Ivy rushed out in a rescue lectio and a lot of people haven't come back yet..."

"Oh no..."

White reaction while I'm at it.

I just don't know exactly how many victims there are, either.

Most of all, I don't think there are people who come back later than me, and maybe it's all the people who survived here right now.

Thirty-nine people, including Dr. Mizuki, were summoned to this world.

Thirty-three shepherds because they were six before the departure, and 28 if I add the three that preyed on the body to the two I put in my hands.

But there are only 23 people here.

I mean, all eight of them were hit by Avaritia, or it looks like the damage is more than I thought.

"Speaking of which, I think Mr. Red Wings was very depressed. I think it's because Hirose won't be back, but if we're good friends, maybe we should go."

"Red feathers?

"Yeah, I haven't seen him since I saw him talking to Mr. Rich."

Rich...... definitely a leader in a different group of women than Red Wings, and the two of them shouldn't have been very close.

Hey, needless to say, did you tell Red Wings about that?

If so, it would be convenient, because it would be more damaging to be told to someone else than to say it directly to me.

"Thank you, colorful flowers. I'll talk to you for a second."

"Yeah...... do that to him"

Colorful flowers sent me away with a shady smile.

I didn't want to think too deeply about what that expression meant.

Red feathers nodded in the shadow of the building a little further from the south gate, holding their knees.

There are no street lights around and it's dim.

Because of that, there was no light in her eyes, as if she were dead.

I make the sweetest voice possible and speak to Red Wings.

"Akaba, are you okay?

"White Stuff..."

She looked up at me powerless as she sat down.

As we stare at each other, our eyes eventually begin to moisten with tears.

I held her head against my chest before Shizukuishi overflowed her cheeks.

"Ah..."

"You don't look all right."

"Stop... I don't deserve to be nice..."

"You don't need to be qualified."

"I do! I need it! Because I... I..."

I knew it, Rich asked me about Hirose shellfish allergies.

Rich is rich and pretty bad in character, and I guess he's trying to kick Red Wings off using the information that he gave Awabari juice to Hirose.

"I just want Team Shiro to cheer up... so...! So... that juice, I just gave it to you. No!

"What's wrong with that juice?

"I didn't know! I, at all, didn't know that Kushiro was allergic to shellfish!

"Hirose, were you allergic to shellfish? Then could that be..."

"... that?

I deliberately bit my lower lip and remember Hirose suffering - pretending.

"When I saw you on the way, there was something wrong with Hirose's anima."

"But I saw you, which means you were safe!?

……

"White pack, hey, say something!

Red feathers grab my collar and push me back and forth hard.

Don't bother, I'll tell you Hirose is dead.

"To Mr. Redfeather, I've hidden it all along"

"What?

"My Anima - Ultio has a skill called Predation. It's literally a skill to take in a dead anima and make some of that power your own."

"That's... what it is."

My voice is trembling.

By the time I explained my skills in capturing predator- "dead” animas, I guess I noticed.

Hirose is dead.

"By the time I found him, Hirose's Ex was already dying. Unidentified... I think he was probably hit by an imperial anima."

"... eh"

"When I came closer, it was clear that I was already breathing constantly and not for that long."

"Stop..."

"Hirose said this to me at the end, 'You're glad I'm dead, White Stuff.'"

"Stop it... eh"

"I wasn't entrusted with Mr. Akaba, because we weren't in that relationship. But..."

"I'm telling you not to! There's no way he's going to die.

I couldn't help but look too loud... I can do something to make it so.

But red feathers are desperate.

After all, when it comes to childhood training, I know very well because I am the same. [M]

If it weren't for the colorful flowers, I might not have even thought about killing everyone.

That's how deeply rooted in my heart is - which is why I also understand how easy it is to see Red Wings today.

"Ha, ha... hey, you're lying, right? You're lying, aren't you? Team Shiro is, really, alive, isn't he?!?

"He's dead."

Tell them clearly.

The red feathers kept their eyes open and did not make it slight.

I even forgot to breathe, as when other than tears telling my cheeks stopped.

"Dead, I thought I wouldn't protect Mr. Red Wings. I thought I'd take my thoughts and not fight. So I preyed on Ex."

"I took it in, huh?

"Yeah, I think I've done terrible things. But if I don't, I'm weak, because I didn't think I could protect Mr. Red Wings. So... Hirose's thoughts are definitely on my chest, not a metaphor or anything."

Saying so, Red Wings gently laid his hand on my chest.

And close your eyes.

It's like making sure your heart beats.

Like exploring the ruins of childhood tampering that can't be there.

"Shiro Regiment..."

I think Red Wings, weak but certainly calling Hirose's name, accepted his death at this moment.

At the same time, even the paradox that I inherit his thoughts.

When I bit through my memories with childhood taming like a running lantern and finished organizing my minimum feelings - Po Sun, Red Wings jumped into my chest himself.

"Oh...... warm"

Because people with cold hearts say their bodies are warm.

"The white stuffing... why are you getting this far for me? Why, did you think I'd protect you?

"I think it's because I like Akaba."

That was the first confession of my life.

I never thought I'd be so full of deception.

"Ugh... woman, yet?

To his sudden confession, Red Wings fluttered as he blushed.

"I'm a man, I don't change my mind about what kind of body I've become"

"I don't know... is white stuffing a dm? Even if the contents were a man, I've been saying terrible things."

"I don't know either, I felt that way while we were together"

"After all, I don't know why. But... I'm glad you confessed. I don't know."

Red feathers are laughing, even as they tear up.

Intense emotions are originally the same thing just because of their different shapes.

Her heart, losing its support and breaking down called Hirose, was falling into a state where she no longer even knew the boundary between sadness and joy.

Good sign.

Hirose, your death is doing the best you can, watching as you grind your teeth in the afterlife?

"I guess this (...) of mine doesn't feel right. I feel so cowardly trying to bury your loss."

"Never mind."

Because I'm the one who's cowardly.

"It could be sweet to death, huh?

"Is there a man who likes to be sweet and disgusted?"

"May depend, may seek to replace the regiment Shiro"

"If that's going to change my feelings for me one day, that's fine now."

"You can suddenly remember and cry, and it can get hard, right?

"If you're not ready to take that much, I didn't say I liked you from the start."

"Oh, if they say that already..."

Both arms of the red feather are turned behind my neck.

With just a little force on his arm, his face approached about 10 cm and his body was snug and fit.

I felt a beating beat over my clothes.

"If they fall in love with a woman, Cape."

"So you're saying I'm a man, Lily."

Exchange words as if you had decided from the beginning.

We both laughed "make it" to the question that went as we imagined, and we put our strength into both arms at the same time.

And the unfamiliar two faintly rattle their teeth and teeth, their first kiss.

"Mm-hmm..."

"... mmm..."

Nasal breathing leaks.

We desperately tasted each other's lips and made our bodies even more intimate.

I knew how to tangle tongues with each other, but for the first time I was scared and I couldn't get that far.

So instead, rub your soft chest and chest together, tangle your feet and feet, and rub your thighs together.

Even I felt my body get hot, unconsciously, to the unity that crossed the line.

"Pu ha... ha ha ha..."

After decades of overlapping our lips, we laughed bitterly at each other face to face the moment we let go.

I wonder what I'm doing.

"Ha ha... I kissed a different one on the day Shinoburo died. I've always liked you. I thought we could stay together forever. On the day of his death, with a completely different one... it's also with a woman, I can't believe he's kissing me... what's wrong, what's wrong... hahahahahahahahaha"

Before I laughed like a broken lily, I couldn't find a word to say.

Should I comfort you, laugh with you, or...

I don't know how to make the right choice.

So I even had to keep taking her tears with my chest.

Hopefully you'll drown so much that you'll never crawl up like this again.

Then, when Ivy returned to Caputo, who failed to capture Xynia, he was told of the brutal consequences for us who had assembled.

- Ten dead.

Because I killed two people, Avaritia would have killed as many as eight classmates.

"It was totally unexpected that a person from the Inheria Empire's class of generals would dive in"

Ivy said so, holding his fist in regret.

Officer class?

I knew you weren't just a girl like that Xynia.

I was wondering if that was a mess on the battlefield, but then there's no way we could have just been summoned from another world.

"There was talk of heading to the battlefield when the training was over, but it would probably be postponed. I'll catch up with you later, and I need you to go back to your quarters today and calm down."

Nobody moved for a while, even when they told me to dissolve it.

A quarter of my class of people are dead at once, and I can't let them accept me calmly.

While I was listening to Ivy, and until I got back to my quarters, Lily was wrapping her arms around me like a hug the whole time.

Three days have passed since the tragedy.

In the meantime, no training has been carried out and no contact has yet been received from Ivy.

The quarters got pretty quiet with the number of people down all at once and everyone getting depressed.

The only thing that's loud is Dr. Mizuki, who's somewhat frustrated.

When the number of people decreases, they are able to have their own spare room in the dormitory.

So Lily negotiated directly with Ivy, hoping to leave her current room and become one with me.

I don't mind if we both agree, the request goes right ahead, sometimes my baggage was low and the move takes place immediately.

As a result, Lily and I were to live in the same room.

No training, no outside errands.

Since I was in the same room, Lily has become sweet to me on a level that I'm not very much, but I can't show people, to distract the loneliness of losing Hirose, and I've had days that just spoil her like that, too.

I don't think anyone but me has ever seen a lily rattling like that just stroking her mandible or belly.

In the meantime, certain rumors were beginning to circulate in the quarters.

That's a malicious rumor that 'Red Wings Lily gave Shiro Hirose the juice after finding out he was allergic, he was going to kill him from the start'.

If you're a person who knows her, you can laugh at her for being a yotai tale.

But the only lily allies left here now are me and Gui.

My laurel just punches into training and doesn't even seem to have a conversation with Lily, which means I'm practically the only one.

Many lost friends, and for their stressful classmates, the rumor was a good ingredient for stress dissipation.

So the rumors didn't get denied, they spread instantly at different speeds.

After spreading all the way to the quarters, the rumors came with a tail, and the story swelled appropriately that there was no...

Eventually, the spreading malice increases the concentration to an irrevocable stage.

Knowing the end of it, I dared to look aside and wait for the day when malice exploded.

To the next revenge, to take advantage of it.
