As I instructed, Kigure began to take care of Kira, who was not feeling well.

Little time seemed necessary for the two people who were attracted to each other from the beginning to shrink further.

On the other hand, the situation is not interesting if you try Sasaki, which was on the verge of socializing with Kigure.

In just about two days, Kiyoshi's relationship with Sasaki deteriorated smoothly, and during his work in town, he sometimes argued with people without warning.

I watch them interact from afar.

"What are you looking at, Cape?"

At some point my sister, who was sneaking up on me like that, hugged me from behind.

Sweet scent tickles the nasal cavity.

My chest bounces every now and then.

I suppressed my breasts.

"What's wrong with your chest?

'Cause your sister gave me a hug and I walked away.'

"So you mean pulse ants? Oh, my God."

Your sister said happily.

Love, even with these little stacks of emotional swings, is complete if you let the pieces fit.

Perhaps it is not so far into the future that we can draw conclusions about the relationship between the two.

"But you don't have to hurry, I have time. Slowly, little by little, huh?

Do you have time?

There's probably only about two or three more weeks left until the kingdom attacks.

Although the reconstruction of the imperial capital is gradually progressing, it has not yet been able to become a state of war.

In other towns, though, they seem to be mobilizing their workforce to produce new Animus, and at the same time hiring wild Anima users as broken and mercenaries.

Still, not enough time.

We're not supposed to have time to slow down either - I don't think your sister thinks we're going to die.

Beyond that, the future goes on forever. That's what I believe.

"Sister, can I have you come over here?

When I said that and asked him to come straight to the front, I hugged him and kissed him.

It is unintentional.

"Hih!? Yu, I said slow down but no..."

"You've been attacking me so hard in Eklogy, and now you're embarrassed about this?

"At that time, sister, you said reason was flying, what was wrong with you! I mean, don't dig back, 'cause I'm embarrassed."

Apparently, the memory of that time is what you want to erase for your sister.

Personally, it's like an anniversary when I was able to know your sister's true intentions for the first time.

Even so, it doesn't make any difference that I've spoiled her mood.

Hold him, okay, okay. Touch his head.

My sister snuggled her body around so that she could feel better and turned her arm around my back.

"People in town, I think they all know we're sisters and brothers, but I wonder if we can hug each other so grandly"

"Everybody doesn't care because it's just weird to use anima."

"That complicates your sister..."

With that said, I won't loosen my arms.

I guess desire prevails over shame.

I whispered in my sister's ear. [M]

"Hey, sis, I need to ask you a favor."

"If it was Cape's favor, I'd ask you anything."

Anything.

It's about your sister, and I'm sure you'll really ask me anything.

I feel guilty about being sweet about it, but still...

"So... can I ask you to help me kill Umeno?

For a moment, your sister's words were jammed.

It's like an accident when you became a Fourth General, and maybe your sister, she's never intentionally killed anyone before.

After finding out about it, I'm trying to get her involved.

I want you to fall into my territory.

Not only the body, but also the mind.

"Mmm...... ok. Sister, with Cape, you're killing people."

Your sister hesitated a little, but still ran out of clarity.

I'm sure he was thinking the same thing as me.

If my brother is reaching out from Naruto, he has to jump in there himself, too.

◇ ◇ ◇

Having finished my conversation with my sister, I was in conversation with the residents of the Imperial capital who were working on it, giving instructions to everyone.

However, most of the instructions are just telling them exactly what Xynia told me, and the conversation with the residents was just ordered by Liatris.

It works exactly as I was told, a figurine.

I have too little knowledge to live as a ”fine person” in this strange homeland.

Even though I feel a little pity, until the battle against the kingdom begins, I will do my part.

When you finish walking all the way through the worn out town, you go back to the trees who keep working.

Watching them work all the time - Kigure and Sasaki were arguing again.

After all, as for Sasaki, it seems unconvincing that Kiyoshi is entering and leaving Kirya's room.

But "because it's an order," he didn't deal with.

I laughed on my own when I saw Kiyoshi, who was obviously looking strange in Sasaki but still abandoned him - he was about the same degree of man.

Then a man comes running over to me like that.

Umeno.

"White stuffing! Yes, the work I was told is done, and I've arranged for the materials I need for my next job!

"Thank you Umeno-kun, that's just great. I can't believe you got ahead of me and let me finish my next job."

He thought I was counting on him, and he was getting on. [M]

Still, I won't stop admiring him.

I want you to grow more, and make irrevocable mistakes, because I hope so.

Listening to the disgusting conversations that lift each other, from a little further away, Sasaki looks grumpy staring at this one.

Her eyes have been congested these days and her complexion is not very good.

I guess I'm already starting to get sick.

"Oh, you know, White Stuff."

Umeno's nose gets rough.

Oh, you're talking about Ji Liang again.

Umeno has a bad habit of making her breath rough when she tells her story - but apparently she's unconscious.

Because of that, I don't think he even hates me because I don't look bad at anyone basically.

"What are you talking about? Kiyoshi gave you medical attention, didn't he?

'Cause we seem to have been close from the beginning.'

"But once in a while... I'm in a mood swing, and I think you should see someone different... yes, I think so."

This is one of the reasons Umeno sells me flair.

The point is, he wants me to leave it to him, not Tree Twilight.

"Look, I'm better than Tree Twilight, because I can count on you. I'm sure you'd be happier too..."

I almost blew it out by accident.

Can you count on me? Will Takashi be happy? I want you to tell me what kind of life you can have that kind of thought circuit.

But well, that's why I use Umeno.

"Right, sure, Umeno-kun is very reliable these days. I guess that's why you're attracted to Roppei, too."

"Ah... I knew you'd play, too."

Umeno says as he stretches under his nose.

When did you start calling Roppei by the name below?

Roppei can put up with how much Sainse he can meet.

"As a matter of fact, just now, Baek-kun's sister touched me too! I knew you were becoming attractive, me!

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Then even Mr. Kushiro will...!

"I think so, too. If it's Umeno-kun now, you can definitely go."

Umeno made his breathing even rougher with a creepy grin.

I also know my body temperature is rising when I'm nearby, what the hell are you thinking?

"Duh, I don't know what to do, I figured I should confess. You're expecting a confession from me, too."

"Right, because after all, girls will prefer masculine opponents. But since Mr. Takashi is a pull-in idea, I wonder if confession alone will convey his feelings..."

"What? So, what am I supposed to do?

"I guess I can try being manly and pushing hard. If Takashi likes Umeno-kun, he'll accept it."

"Let it loom..."

He totally intends to, and seems to have totally believed that Yuliang would accept himself.

There is no reason to stop because there is a successful experience in the kingdom.

I gave him one last piece of advice.

"After dinner, for a while she will be alone in the room. There are no people to see. If you're going, that's a good time."

When told to whisper in his ear, Umeno exhaled heavily from his nose.

That's good.

All you have to do is - wait for Umeno not to regain his calm and come to Takura.

◆ ◆ ◆

That night, Kigure was visiting Shirai's room.

As everyone else gathers in the dining room, he is the only one in that room trying to pick a meal with her.

It goes without saying that that time has accelerated progress in the relationship between the two.

At the end of the meal, Kigure left the room with dishes for two.

Left alone, Shira leaves herself to a comfortable fullness and closes her eyes while lying in bed.

It was then that the door was knocked.

Kigure doesn't come back for a while as she always finishes her meal, once she returns to her room.

Did I forget anything?

Or someone else?

As she woke up her heavy body, she slowly approached the door and called out.

"Who is it?

"Me, it's me. Umeno, it's"

To the unexpected person, the good thing about not being able to see his face, Ji Liang usually made a reluctant face that he did not show to others.

From beyond the door, I also feel like I can hear a slightly rough breath.

I had a bad feeling about it, but he's one of your precious people, too.

We can't just leave him down there, and Kira opened the door.

"Good evening, Umeno-kun"

"Ugh, yeah. Good evening........................................................................................................................."

Umeno is always a bad slippery tongue, but I feel terrible all the time today.

My face is fine, my breathing is still rough, and things are obviously not right.

"Hey, what's up, man?

"Good luck!

"Hih!?

Umeno grabbed her shoulder forcefully as she called her name in an inverted voice.

"Ha, ha, ha," breathing gets even rougher.

At this point, Takashi was aware of his purpose.

Because it was obvious from anyone's eyes that what was moving him now was passion.

Therefore, he could not speak out too loud, much of a fear.

When it comes to hard work, it's just to lag behind to get away from your arm.

But Umeno approached Guru and Shiraya.

"Wait, wait, wait, Umeno-kun!

"I can't wait, I can't wait any longer, Mr. Takashi... Yeah, Himi!"

Called under the name below gives me goosebumps all at once on my skin.

"Me, I like the Hitch thing! You're gonna accept my feelings, aren't you? I've always wanted the hope, I've always wanted it to be just for me!

"No... no, I, I don't..."

"I'm not being honest, Hee, but I like that place too!

I'm honest with you all the time.

More than any word I've ever uttered in my life, the word "yah” was a true expression of my true intentions.

But it doesn't reach Umeno right now.

Soon, Kushira will be cornered to the immediate vicinity of the bed and pushed down onto the bed as it were.

"Nozomi, nozomi, nozomi no!

"Stop, please! No, no, but I really don't like it!

Shirano desperately tries to push Umeno back as he approaches his face.

"It's okay, 'cause I won't hate it any time soon. I'll take care of everything, I'll lead you."

"Hey, hey! Help me, help me, earth!

Asking a thinker for salvation does not reach that voice.

Umeno nodded his face at Tsuruo's neck, and suddenly breathed.

"Smells good, Hino."

"Hih, hih..."

No longer could Ji Liang speak only with a drawn voice.

Umeno unbuttoned the next time she reached for her chest to pull it off.

My underwear becomes dewy.

She was seen all over her body laughing and licking at her nasty, and to too much decency, she turned her eyes in tears.

"You don't have to be so shy, you finally get your thoughts right?

"Ha... no, no... eh"

There's only one more thing she can do when she realizes she can't even speak up and can't count on Tree Twilight's help.

It was to look for a means of confrontation.

I haven't noticed the exciting Umeno, but her hands were obviously looking for something with a purpose.

At the end of the reach is a shelf about the height of the waist, provided next to the bed.

placed on it, someone forgot (...) it is a knife.

When I grabbed it with the thought of straw, I violently shook off the sheath that was covering the blade -

"Ugh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Zaku.

Shouting, he pierces Umeno's right arm.

"Ah...?

Umeno didn't know what happened at first.

But look and understand the blood seeping out of your arms.

And when the pain arrived to his brain late, he said, staring at Yuliang.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Hihi, why? Why!?"

"I don't like it, I really don't like it..."

"Even Him... Because Him, I know you really like me. Ahhh!

――

Ji Liang is stunned.

Because I thought this would calm me down and set me free.

But the truth is, on the contrary, Umeno is getting even more rampant with anger.

The violent momentum pulled the knife out.

Intense pain runs into Umeno's arms.

Still, he doesn't stop, he makes his breathing even rougher, and he even puts his hands on Shirley's underwear with an insane look.

- It's only natural that Umeno is abnormal.

Because he has already been touched by his life.

This means that you are under the influence of the skill "Love to Deny Intelligence (Romantics)".

But life is not ”manipulating” Umeno.

It was completely manipulated to death on its own, boring even as a cape.

Only his fault must be on the extension line of his own will.

Therefore, the only thing life has done to Umeno by exercising his skills is to amplify his libido a little bit.

The point was I pressed my back gently.

That's all, Umeno couldn't stop being stabbed.

And I couldn't stop, so...

A knife still covered in blood is grasped in the hands of Shirley, who has been hunted down to the extreme state.

Definitely offended as it is.

- No, no, for the first time, the earth is good for the first time, for such a disgusting one...!

That strong will set in motion Takashi.

This is the only way, in self-defense.

Put the knife - on Umeno's neck, stick it out.

Buchu.

Tear the flesh, the feeling of blood tangling, the sound.

Takashi accepts himself, and Umeno, who was so convinced, looked at her face flashly and told him to spit it out.

"of... what..."

The answer is known to all but him.

But only the foolish Umeno never knew or realized until the end.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!

"Ahhhhhhhh... whoa, whoa, beh..."

The sticky blood is spit out of Umeno's mouth, dripping off his jaw and contaminating his chest.

And from his eyes the light is lost, and from his body the power is shed.

Umeno is dead.

Dossa.

His breathless body fell straight over his body.

Cloudy and red blood runs through the knife's pierced neck, wetting her shoulders.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."

Yuliang repeatedly breathes irregularly as she shudders her mouth into small pieces.

I don't really feel like I killed him yet.

Now, I'm just glad I saved you, that's all I'm happy about.

It wasn't until some time after that that that she realized the seriousness of the situation.

◆ ◆ ◆

After hearing the whole story, my sister and I left the scene once we confirmed that Umeno was dead.

There was sweat on my sister's forehead walking next door.

Indirectly, for the first time, I killed people of my own volition.

And not for myself, but for me.

That fatigue won't compare to the first time I killed a man.

"... now, that's good to know"

"It was perfect. Thanks, sister."

"Yeah......"

No matter how much you say you can ”do it” with your mouth, it doesn't matter if you actually do it.

My sister right now, she's feeling a little naïve.

"Cape is... this is it, okay?

So I guess you ask me something that doesn't matter.

Okay, ”stupid question” that doesn't even sound like your sister.

"That I'm killing my classmates?

"Yeah. So, Cape said," I wonder if you'll be happy. "

I can't believe we're talking about common sense.

If your sister wasn't with you, she'd just laugh and not answer.

"Right or wrong, or something like that?

"That's not true."

Your sister says it out loud.

Apparently, what your sister wants to hear is not what I think.

"I know Cape was bullied. That's why Cape's classmates don't mind dying. I'd rather you were gone.

Speaking of which, my sister was more of a bracon than I thought.

"That's not what I want to hear, Cape, what you think yourself. I wonder if it really clears my mind to kill everyone."

But that's what I understand.

I wouldn't call that a stupid question, but I'm not asking you any more now.

Well, from your sister, I know how you're gonna want to hear it because you don't know how I've killed them before.

"At first, I thought you wouldn't mind staying sinking. I can't move on as long as we're still here. [M] For the first time in my life, I can live with myself."

"So, what now?

"The more I kill, the happier I am. My mind and body became lighter and much more hilarious than before, and I also had room to turn my feelings to someone I liked more than ever. So I'll kill you. Even if your sister stops me, I won't stop until she kills everyone."

Seeing me say that with a laugh, your sister was pompous for a moment - but she immediately smiled softly and murmured, "Well."

"Then I wonder if you have anything to say from your sister. Let me know if I can help you again, because if it's for Cape's happiness, I'll work with you."

I think we understand each other better than ever.

I held her hand and walked her straight to her room. [M]

◇ ◇ ◇

Kigure then visited Kushiro's room some time later.

So I discover Umeno's body and his pale face.

She, of course, along with a large number of self-defense words, asked Kigure for help.

If you turn yourself in honestly, that's where my plan is.

But I was certain that they would not plead guilty.

Because Kigure is a good man, but a man who has behaved violently against me.

And instead of pretending not to look at me, he looked down on me like that. [M]

Kigure suggests.

He wants to hide Umeno's body.

Fortunately, there are multiple piles of debris in the Imperial capital during reconstruction work, and there are plenty of shovels and other tools for work, so it was essential for where and how to hide the bodies.

First, wrap Umeno's body in a sheet.

Inside, she was also put in sheets of her bed, which had become bloody, and her own clothes, which were similarly bloody.

Tree went out the window with it and headed to the rubble dump.

Then he digs a hole, buries the body, rides more debris from the top and tries to cover it up.

Now, for one thing, Umeno's death will not be immediately exposed.

And, tree twilight back in the room, encouraged Takashi.

Regardless, the mental state of the party, Shirley, remained unstable, but it looked somewhat calmer than when the body was placed in the room.

The two of us are going to think about what we're going to do, and Kigure hugs Kira.

If he was there, he should be fine, and he turned his arm around the back of the tree himself, telling himself.

We're both swallowing each other up - but I guess you don't even think I'm behind it and they're watching it all.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next morning, Kigure headed to Shiraya's room first thing in the morning.

I guess it's an act of worrying about her.

Or maybe he was anxious himself.

The two decided to go for a walk, either to change their mood.

Takashi is still not feeling well, but he looks better than usual because Kiyoshi is with him.

When those two came out of the room, I dived into the corner of the hallway and said in a small voice.

"Skill Activated (Boot), Dear Friend (Swindler)"

Of course I change my appearance - I died last night, it's Umeno.

I show up in front of Kiyoshi and Kira, who are supposed to be dead.

They don't look at each other, they don't change their expression, they just look forward as if they're dead.

"Liar...... right......?

We are both stunned.

As if even a corpse sees it, he opens his eyes, forgets his blink, and keeps staring at Umeno as he approaches.

"Hey, why..."

I succeeded in passing them safely, desperately suppressing the laughter I gave them.

And as it is, turn the corner of the poke and disappear.

"Kid, yesterday... I killed him, didn't I? You buried it, didn't you? What do you want me to do? Why is Umeno here?

"I don't even know. Hey!

When I'm gone, I hear two confused voices coming from behind me.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Kukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukuku

Far from hearing my voice, I laughed with a belly when I was finally free from repression.

After all, the wound hurts.

Still, I can't help laughing.

Did you see that look?

Did you hear that voice?

Scared like an idiot, call me like an idiot! Ha ha, oh fun! I've never had more fun!

Umeno's dead, Kizue and Takurana were so scared, and they'll look like any unusual next time!

Maybe Kigure's going to go check on Umeno's body now.

I did bury it there last night. 'Cause to prove it.

But - the body is not there.

Beautiful refreshing traces are disappearing, as if it were a dream.

Because I recovered Umeno's body.

At that time, I thought Kigure was going to look sad again.

"Ha-ha-hi-ha-hi-ha, ha, ha... Huh!

Just imagine, I can't stop laughing.

Come on, let's go check it out, let's go check it out right away.

And I'll slap him on the shoulder scared, as if I'm genuinely worried, 'Are you okay? Is something wrong?'.

A shrinking and frightening miserable tree twilight, mocking in my heart.
