No dialog occurred after that. After ending her meal early, Yumiela #2 stated she was drained and retreated to the visitor room. 

Patrick and I discuss her in my room. 

“Haa… that’s not what I used to be anticipating. It might have been simpler if she had been extra aggressive.”

“I agree. She’s too….”

“She’s already right here… hmm, one thing doesn’t really feel proper about this.”

I sympathize with Yumiela #2, however I don’t know if she must be forgiven. A world’s destruction is simply too huge to brush beneath the rug. 

I can’t even think about what she must do to make amends. 

“Once I first met her, I assumed she resembled Yumiela in some methods. It’s like she’s every little thing on this planet, together with herself, objectively to the purpose of missing consciousness….”

“Ah, I was like that. When push got here to shove, I assumed I might simply flee.”

I was like her, however I’m completely different now. I’ve gained a number of issues which can be vital to me and have to be protected. 

Again then, I had nothing. I’d lose nothing by reducing off my present relationships and operating away from this kingdom. 

It’s the identical factor for her. Since she had nothing, she might go wherever, anytime. 

“Huh? Give it some thought, don’t you assume Yumiela #2 is feeling sorry about herself? Does she ever really feel prefer it’s her fault?”

“Come on!”

Patrick affirmed with no pause. It was surprising as a result of he wasn’t the kind of one that would speculate on one thing. He continued. 

“It’s not doable. She noticed Yumiela, it’s like she’s seeing one other risk of what might have occurred….”

“For me, it was completely different as a result of I had reminiscences of my earlier life.”

“It didn’t matter from her viewpoint. You dwelling a contented life is sufficient for her.”

I see. My existence would show that every little thing in her life was a mistake. All her efforts have been pointless and her selections have been stuffed with errors even when she didn’t imply to make them. 

If she had made just a few completely different selections, she might have prevented the worst penalties. Perhaps she would have had extra success than I did. Effectively, it’s solely a small distinction. 

“However I’m smarter, extra female, and higher at socializing than #2. Extra importantly, I’m stronger….”

“…Are you joking?”

“What? I’m critical. No matter what you considered #2 destroying the world, she was confronted with the truth that she made a mistake when she met me. Don’t you assume so?”

Patrick appeared distracted for some cause. We have been supposed to speak about one thing critical right here. What’s flawed?

He cleared his throat in an try and regain his composure. 

“Let’s put apart the variations between you and her for now. I figured #2 would possibly escape.”

“Escaping… Do you imply operating away from me? Working again to her world?”

“I don’t know.”

She made errors, gave up every little thing, and doesn’t have something vital left. The place will she run to?

Patrick was hesitant to reply my query. 

“So, what’s she operating from?”

“……From dwelling.”

“That’s… no method.”

“She felt as if she was about to vanish. She has an analogous vibe to the  Yumiela I bear in mind throughout faculty however is someway completely different. It wouldn’t be any shock if she selected to die herself.” 

That’s…. This was all in Patrick’s creativeness, however I couldn’t simply dismiss it as inconceivable.

Wouldn’t or not it’s silly to destroy the world, then kill your self and commit suicide with your entire human race?

It jogged my memory of the final time I noticed her. She appeared considerably glad after ending her meal. 

I couldn’t stand it any longer and ran out of my room. 

“I’m going to check out #2!”

It might’t be. I don’t know the way and I can’t consider something to do, I’ve no recommendation to offer, however it might nonetheless be flawed for her to decide on her demise. 

Working via the hallways, I knew which visitor room she was despatched to. The biggest room had been cleaned despite the fact that nobody was coming. 

I’ve a foul feeling about this. The door slammed open as if it have been going to interrupt. 

“You’re alive?!”

“……Startled me. What the hell are you doing?”

Yumiela #2 was searching the window. 

Her black hair was going through me, assimilating her into the darkish night time. It gave me the phantasm that she was disappearing into the darkness.

Don’t inform me… she was going to leap out the window?!

“No!”

“Haa?? What are you doing?”

I rushed over to #2 and pinned her right down to keep away from her leaping off the window. 

My restraint on her tightened.

She then started to withstand with all her would possibly. She struggled to flee from my grasp. I gained’t allow you to throw your self away.

Protecting #2 secured, I pull her up and launch her after ensuring she’s moved to a protected place away from the window. 

“Haahaa… I assumed I used to be going to die.”

“As anticipated, you have been going to die.”

“Haa? You’re the one who tried to kill me.”

“What? I assumed you have been uninterested in dwelling and would throw your self down.”

What? Am I mistaken? Or had Patrick misunderstood one thing? 

Half embarrassed and half relieved, she sighed intentionally and stated. 

“ that there’s no method I might die from this peak, proper?”

“Oh—”

Proper. I panicked. I’m glad to know she’s not suicidal. 

“And I’ve additionally determined that once I die, I’m going to take some unsavory folks with me. Don’t you assume that’s pleasant?”

The best way she laughed heartily in amusement. I knew she was a villain. 

Then once more, is there anybody else she might tackle her method? There must be nobody left alive in her world.

“You don’t have anybody to take with you anymore.”

“I hate you.”

Can’t you even perceive that? She tilts her head adorably.

Once I was in shock at her surprising proclamation, Yumiela #2 loosened the collar of her garments and stated. 

“Nee, I need to take a shower.”

“……Oh, yeah, I’ll have them put together it for you.”

Is that this how shameless the hidden boss is? If she had been this shameless earlier, life would have been slightly simpler. 

She began buzzing in temper, trying ahead to taking a shower. I used to be handled as if I wasn’t there. 

Considerably unsettled, I left the visitor room.

Shortly after leaving the room, I discovered Patrick leaning in opposition to the wall. He should have come as a result of he was anxious about #2, too. 

We talked as we walked aspect by aspect down the hallway.

“Did you hear our dialog?”

“ Solely  half of it.”

“I used to be flawed. She doesn’t have any plans to die simply.”

I look up at him. He was attempting to cover it, however I might see he was completely happy. 

Actually, I’m undecided if I must be completely happy, however I don’t really feel unhealthy both. 

Then, the voice interrupted me. 

Since our encounter with Yumiela #2, he had retreated into my shadow and remained silent, however now he determined to lastly converse up.

“What a disgrace. It might have been simpler if Onee-san’s parallel universe self had died on her personal.”

“…Remn, you’re an evil god, aren’t you?”

“What? She was a harmful one that destroyed the world, bear in mind? After all, I’d need her to vanish to guard this world.”

The God of Darkness tends to be a bit too totalitarian. It is perhaps unavoidable resulting from his place because the god who controls the world, however he doesn’t perceive human feelings too effectively. 

“Is she actually harmful?”

“After all, she is.”

“What if she by no means harms anybody ever once more?”

“That doesn’t change the truth that she’s a threat. She has the flexibility to finish the world all by herself. Protecting somebody like that alive is a joke I wouldn’t make.”

Remn doesn’t appear to grasp folks’s feelings and isn’t used to coping with them.

Patrick identified his slip of the tongue. 

“A threat issue with the facility to destroy the world, Yumiela matches the invoice completely.”

“Hmm…. However Onee-san is on our aspect, proper? You wouldn’t need the world to vanish, would you?”

Lastly, I’ve come to grasp his mindset. He’s a totalitarian who is set to guard the world. For the sake of the entire, he doesn’t care a lot concerning the particular person’s sacrifice. 

The rationale why he’s being pleasant to us might be due to the specter of Yumiela #2. 

His cussed refusal to name folks by their first names might specific his inside self not seeing people as people. 

“I’d by no means take into consideration defending the world or something of that magnitude past my means.”

“Didn’t Onee-san have the intention to battle her?”

“If #2 hurts the folks round me or me, I’ll battle her. I’ll shield these inside my attain.”

Even with all the facility I’ve to destroy the world, I can’t make everybody on this planet completely happy. 

Because of this I’ve determined to guard solely these inside my attain.

“At the very least, our pursuits are mutual.”

“I’d like to save lots of #2, too, if doable.”

“It is best to surrender as a result of it’s inconceivable. Regardless of how lengthy your arms are, you’ll by no means be capable of attain her.”

I used to be planning to ask him about the perfect plan for #2’s future, but it surely appeared inconceivable. 

However Remn had a degree. Wanting to save lots of my parallel universe self, somebody who had destroyed the world, was reckless. 

What ought to I do? If I and people round me have been to be sacrificed, it might be the top of the world….

After strolling round having such a dialog with the shadows, I arrived again in entrance of my room. 

“Oh. Remn, why didn’t you discuss to me earlier than? Is there a cause why you conceal from #2? ……Huh?”

No response got here from my shadow. He was gone. It appeared that Remn might entry the shadows from wherever, however I couldn’t fairly determine the detailed system. 

Patrick’s face appeared slightly troubled as he glared down at my ft. 

“Cease trying so grim. He left since you scared him off, didn’t you?”

“Ah, sorry. However the God of Darkness is a shrewd fellow. He’s too imprecise on whether or not he’s a pal or a foe.”

“#2 is imprecise, too.”

If solely issues may very well be finished in a extra dualistic method as buddies or foes, we wouldn’t have to fret a lot. Whereas I would favor to not antagonize both of them, it’s not going to be that straightforward.

Will I ultimately should battle #2 for actual? Even when I’m stronger than her, I don’t need us to battle. 

“I’d prefer to be alone for some time to determine issues out.”

“All proper. Name me as quickly as you get uninterested in being alone.”
