As a result of it was the primary time he was introduced into his reminiscence world. Every part he noticed, all the way down to the tiniest particulars, matched mine. Though my faceless protagonist nonetheless didn’t imagine what he noticed was his actual life. It didn’t matter a lot at that time.
Honestly, I believed that that faceless individual would stay the identical approach he was. He would free every of us by touching us on his volition, and we might see the fragments of his life that he left behind. Sometimes, some would kiss him, and they might see a unique factor that might change them perpetually. It was like that with Laura and with Rachel. It ought to have been the identical for me. Or no less than, that was what I believed.
My fault. I stored on making use of logic to one thing illogical.
Nonetheless, listening to him sharing the identical previous lives as mine gave me an thought.
I needed to remind C of his life. By doing this, I hoped C might see and bear in mind, even a bit bit, he could possibly be happier.
“Lets take a stroll?” C requested me within the kindest approach doable.
*Rumble rumble*
“I might like to.” And I smiled listening to his invitation. The booming thunder strikes above our heads had been redundant.
Holding his hand tightly, we walked towards the varsity’s constructing. There was nobody on this place anymore. All had disappeared.
“So, is that this what would occur when the sport reaches its finish?” With my free hand, I pointed on the corroding supplies round us.
“Sure. This triggers when one situation in two is achieved.” Strolling near me, C nodded as he glanced in my route.
“And what would these be? We’ve got managed to assist Han get with these women. That needs to be one, right?”
“That’s true. It doesn’t matter who Han finally ends up with. The sport will finish so long as he lives till the ultimate confrontation and survives.”
We walked within the college hall, classroom by classroom. There have been no shadow individuals, no lecturers, and no principal characters. This place had turn out to be an empty place with out a single speck of life. They’ve all perished below the destruction of the system with out fail…excluding two system errors.
C.
And me.
“One out. Two extra to go!” I exclaimed cheerfully.
“I’ve an thought. Why do not you are taking a guess? Miss librarian?”
“Hoh! You are on!”
“Take your time. Till all the things collapses, we will probably be collectively.” He stroked my hair. “Come, comply with me this manner. Let’s go to the rooftop to see what an apocalypse actually is.”
“Okay! However…you’ve gotten the important thing, proper?”
“In fact I do! What do you suppose I’m? Silly? Do not reply that, although. I do not need you to remind me of the reality about my non-existent mind.”
I chuckled at his lame self-burn. C all the time had a humorous bone and a intelligent approach together with his jokes. By no means would I ever doubt his intelligence. Though not tutorial, he was undoubtedly gifted at socializing. That might clarify why we flocked to him like birds. He was charming in his peculiar approach.
Placing a hand below my chin, I requested: “Does killing Han or everybody rely as one of many circumstances?”
“Nope! Killing all of them can solely set off a reset, not an apocalypse like this.” He then stopped for a second. “Oh! Hey, Kurokawa! Look! That is the place the place Rachel and Adora had that vast combat! I didn’t suppose that princess and Han’s worshipper would work collectively to homicide our housewife.”
We arrived at a piece of the varsity’s hall the place the tiles had been damaged at numerous spots. Right here and there, one might see slashes made by sharp weapons. It should have been bizarre to see such a scene inside the varsity. But there we had been.ηOVELusb.cOM
“Yeah, I bear in mind. It was so bloody and gory, although.”
“Fortunately, we stood apart simply to observe. It was an incredible determination from you.”
They fought as a result of I used to be pulling strings within the background, however C didn’t have to know that. A few nameless letters, a pair yandere women obsessive about Han, and they might do the remainder. I didn’t care what they had been doing, however our college life was in jeopardy due to them. That was the rationale for me to take care of it.
“So, do you want hints concerning the 2 circumstances?” My protagonist continued strolling.
“If I am placing this like studying a ebook, then is it associated to the plot? Just like how I shut the covers when reaching their conclusions, I believe the world ends as a result of there may be nothing extra written within the system. Subsequently, it restarts.” Nonetheless following C, I contemplated for some time.
“Precisely! You are such a genius! A gorgeous genius!”
“Thanks very a lot. Don’t fret. I am your genius solely.” My lips was a vivid smile.
“Ack! My coronary heart!” C jokingly grabbed his chest. “I’ll die due to diabetes!”
“Come on, you are so tacky!” We shared a couple of laughs collectively, ignoring all the things. Even after I noticed the bottom and home windows beginning to erode, I nonetheless didn’t care. All I needed to do was to spend each final second with him.
*Kachak*
The acquainted door resulting in the rooftop opened, and C bowed respectfully: “After you, my girl!”
“Such a gentleman.” Holding on to his hand, I walked ahead.
Lengthy gone the attractive blue canvas. Lengthy gone dreamy white cloud product of cotton wool spots. Lengthy gone our warming solar.
On prime of my head was not the surroundings of a peaceable rooftop on a sunny day however flashes of destruction and mud. When the supplies surrounding me dissipated, they had been swept up by the whirlwind into the air, creating tornados product of mud. Sometimes the gray clouds would rumble loudly, and flashes would journey by means of the air. Actually a tragic sight to witness.
“It is not one thing you’ll see each day.” The love of my life whispered quietly.
“Nicely, in a approach, it’s magnificent. Study to understand life. Even in unsightliness, there might be one thing breathtaking. That is what you taught me.” I held his hand tight.
“Countered by my phrases. Touche. Touche certainly.” C made a clumsy smile.
After that, the 2 of us coincidentally grew silent. Standing on the best level of this world, we needed to witness the finality. That was not a selection however an obligation.
*Rumble*
*Growth!*
The frequency of thunder began to extend. As I appeared on the buildings round us, I might see increasingly mud devils forming.
C was the one to talk up first. Nevertheless, his voice was shaking. “Darkness is consuming the varsity floor. Quickly, we are going to disappear, Kurokawa. You…will disappear.”
He as soon as once more got here nearer and kissed the scar on my brow.
“I want I might do extra to forestall this inevitable end result. Sadly, there was nothing I might do. This world was designed to have a conclusion. Nothing else exists after the all-consuming void.”
“Please, do not cry, C.” I touched his cheeks. The tears flowing out from his eyes warmed each of my palms up. “This isn’t the tip. You already know that.”
“I do know it isn’t the tip for me. However…it’s the finish for you. This…is the place we half methods, Kurokawa.” His eyes gazed into mine, filled with remorse and unhappiness. I didn’t want to listen to his interior voice to know C couldn’t let me go. “I attempted. Many occasions. I attempted. I did all the things the identical approach and could not carry anybody again. You noticed with your individual eyes. This recreation world was fictional. And identical to each fictional work on the market, it is going to end. In different phrases, there may be actually no future for anybody. To be born into this world is a curse by itself.”
Unable to say something to him, I hugged C’s chest and listened to his heartbeat.
Even when this was the tip for me, I nonetheless didn’t really feel any concern or uneasiness. If there was something in my coronary heart at this second, there could be solely a way of eager for C. I needed to be with him for years till I gave beginning to an cute woman whom I might bathe with all the things I by no means might. I needed to be with him till we might maintain every others’ palms and gaze up on the blue sky below the Sakura tree as a household. I might love to inform her the story of how her father and mom met and the bizarre circumstances she got here to be.
However… Albeit brief, I had by no means felt this a lot happiness. If I had been glass and C’s affection was water, it might be overfilled.
“Ah! I nearly forgot. I’ve one thing for you. I want your left hand.”
Reaching for my pocket, I took out a contemporary piece of bandage. As for C, he didn’t query me. My protagonist did what I instructed him precisely.
“Within the identify of The Previous,” I wrapped the piece round his ring finger and rapidly tied a knot. “…The Current, and The Future, I, Kurokawa, take you, C, to be my great husband, to have and to carry from at the present time ahead, for higher, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in illness and in well being, to like and to cherish, till we’re parted by loss of life. That is my solemn vow. That is unbreakable. That is my trustworthy oath to you.”
“I…I…”
“Chances are you’ll now kiss your spouse.”
After that sentence, we shared another passionate kiss.
The world might finish nevertheless it needed.
I already had a husband.
