I switched positions by pulling Astoria's arm.

At that time, I will do my hand to her knees and fold her legs.

Then I covered her head with my arms and chest.

And withstand the shock.

The roar hurts my ears.

"What the hell?

Eventually, the shock subsided and I managed to get rid of the falling ceiling, even as it malfunctioned.

Then,

"Are you okay?"

I spoke to Mr. Astoria, who was round under my body.

"Oh, yeah. What the hell?"

"I don't know. Earthquake, huh?

I look around. The ceiling was still falling all over the place.

And I see that.

The escorts, who would have been waiting outside the room, had been underneath the rubble and were also stuck in motion with Pickle.

There was a lot of blood spilling out, and if it was just underlying, I immediately retreated the rubble, and I helped.

But how the hell did that happen, the thousand severed limbs of the escorts were rolling. No, more importantly, my lower body and upper body were split, and my neck was so connected by a piece of skin.

"Tetsu, Tetsu is the great length..."

Mr. Astoria saw me gazing at him, saying that.

I saw it.

"Liar, liar, no"

Mr. Astoria tries to blur his face and deny the sight.

Hold her head aggressively. Don't have to look at anything.

And I spoke to her.

"Mr. Astoria, Mr. Astoria.

Take a deep breath.

Yeah, throw up slowly, throw up, if you throw up, suck it up. "

Talking, looking for my shoes.

Good, it's not crushed.

Pick it up and let her wear it.

It doesn't fit the size, but it's better than wearing those cutely designed, but heeled shoes that Astoria originally wore.

I'm wearing socks now, but that's okay for me to step barefoot on glass or something.

Really, it's convenient at times like this.

... socks, out of the way and should I take them off?

"Mr. Astoria, breathe, keep going"

In the meantime, is it safer to hold him until he leaves the building?

Think so, I'll hold her up.

Put her head on my shoulder. I left the building that wasn't strange when it collapsed as it opened the emergency exit.

What I saw out there was a sight I had seen in social studies classes in textbooks and video materials.

In a time of war, the streets after the bombardment, the fire smoking and black smoke rising everywhere.

Video material said it was black and white. That's the kind of attack that's playing in full color.

It's more plausible but realistic than an animated piece on the subject of war.

There was such a sight.

I can hear screams and yells from all over.

It was a fleeing people, with such a violent sight that until just now it was beautiful and busy, and the everyday that it was peaceful and peaceful itself seemed more unusual.

Find Mr. Astoria's escorts, who should have been waiting outside.

I can't find it when this is confusing either.

"... Hey, Tetsu, what's going on?

With his voice trembling, he looks up and asks Mr. Astoria, probably looking at the same sight I saw.

Her question was also mine.

That's as much as I'd like to hear.

"I don't know. But maybe an earthquake.

Instead, I've asked Grandpa and Grandma.

He said he had suffered from it.

I swayed, and maybe the gas pipe or something is broken and the fire is out.

If it's an earthquake, it could shake back. "

I think my grandparents said aftershock about the rocking back.

This country, and the continent, seems to be a rare phenomenon.

"Shake, give back?

"Anyway, let's evacuate to a large area where there is no building. Watch your head, things might fall off, can you walk?

"Ugh, yeah."

"I want to find the escorts, but I'm gonna focus on getting away for now, okay?

"... yeah"

"Shoes, be careful because they're not the right size"

"Huh?"

Put her down.

I let her down. She sees herself at her feet.

And look at my feet alternately, too.

Mr. Astoria almost opened his mouth like she said something, so I pulled her hand and walked out so she wouldn't say it.

(I wish you had a sister at a time like this)

I'm too gay to take her to an intact, safe place in a situation like this.

My sister would help me smarter.

Using magic that I can't use, she must help, like a hero, and the people around her who run away.

In the meantime, my body was sturdy and good.

If you have to, you just need me to replace the shelter, like I did earlier.

If that's what you mean, it's just convenient, this body.

(Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa and Mom)

So, yes, I recall.

Yeah, why don't you just call your sister on your cell phone?

If you were my sister, you'd help me, like you did in every hotel raid, right?

I'm supposed to be rebroadcasting drama at home today.

Yeah, yeah, let's do that!

Roar! My newest model!!

I reach for a mobile device that stops and sticks in my pocket.

Is that it?

…………

I do, huh??

Oh, my phone, did you drop it?

I didn't feel like I was supposed to, so I took my hand off Mr. Astoria and looked all over my body.

Seriously. I dropped it.

Seriously, I just bought it because it broke last time.

Anxious Mr. Astoria's gaze pierces my appearance like that.

Oh, yeah, Mr. Astoria had a mobile device, too.

"Mr. Tetsu? What's wrong with you?

"Mr. Astoria! My phone! Give me your phone!

"Oh, yeah!

I borrowed Mr. Astoria's phone, and I tapped into my parents' phone number.

However,

"Damn, it's out of range"

I couldn't connect.

Mr. Astoria gave me an increasingly anxious look.

"Thanks for the phone, Astoria.

Walk a little more, but can you work hard?

If you can't, tell me right away. "

I returned Mr. Astoria's mobile device and said so.

Astoria tries to make her snort fine.

And we walked out again.

"... Mr. Tetsu"

"What?"

"Um, earlier, I'm sorry about that. I said weird things in my head with a gutter.

And, you know, I can't help it, you know. "

You must be anxious if you're not talking.

And this is such an anomaly.

Mr. Astoria says that.

"Hey, Tetsu.

I know we're not really talking about doing this at this time.

I think I must be losing my mind.

I hate what I say and do.

The escorts are dead, and I was wondering if maybe I would be too.

So that's all I want you to know.

Me and Luli love you, Tetsu.

So if you get home safely from here, then, "

I stopped again.

And gently suppressed Mr. Astoria's mouth with his other hand.

Death Flag, Wouldn't you really stop, this kid?!

And that was then.

When I thought I heard something like a dry bursting sound, a red flower blossomed in her chest.

Then, around below my chest and slightly above my belly, a mass of metal hit me and fell to the ground.

Bullets, looked like.

"To?"

When Mr. Astoria leaks such a voice and wonders if he sees his chest with a surprised look on his face, he slowly loses his power and falls to the spot.

"... Huh?

I, too, couldn't swallow it and stood up to its body, and the explosion broke out a little further away, and the surroundings darkened.

Bill is falling.

I'm covered in her, like I was at an internet cafe earlier.

Try not to shock her, use both arms, and I'll support my body.

At that time, I only saw Mr. Astoria's eyes for a moment.

From that beautiful cherry blossom color, the light was completely lost.

My pupils seemed open.

And I realized that my chest, which would have been slightly up and down every time I breathed, was not moving at all.
