TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 29
"Nn~.
Where is this ...~!?"
Lisa
Hounds woke up feeling lethargic all over her body.
At
first, her eyes were unfocused and she looked dazed, but then she remembered
what had happened to her and sat up as if she had been jolted.
When
she woke up, she saw an abyss of darkness spreading across the entire sky.
"Nozomu
..."
She
crouched like a child inside the pitch-black darkness where even her sense of
direction could go astray.
A
feeling of loneliness consumed her heart as if she was the only one left in the
world.
"I'm
sorry, I'm sorry ..."
Words
of apology leaked out of Lisa's mouth.
She
wondered how much she had hurt him and why did she keep throwing such terrible
words at him.
She
knew more than anyone else how single-minded Nozomu was. She should have known
that better than anyone else.
Lisa
was struck with regret and guilt, but she could only ask for forgiveness from
the person she had hurt.
At
that moment, something wriggled beyond the darkness of the abyss.
"~!
Who !?"
Perhaps
in response to her voice, the jet-black space undulated as if in a whirlpool.
What appeared from the other side of the vortex, which had begun to turn
reddish-black, was a shadow that was even darker than the pitch-black darkness
that covered its surroundings.
Step
by step, the shadow approached as if it was crawling towards her. Lisa felt a
chill like a snake crawling up her spine and backed away involuntarily.
Eventually,
the black shadow took on a humanoid form, and a man appeared, crawling out of
it.
"Ke,
Ken ...?"
A
childhood friend who appeared in a place that didn't seem real at all. However,
Lisa shuddered as she remembered what he looked like before he came to this
place.
Ken's
crimson eyes shone and he attacked her while shouting strange voices. Lisa
clearly remembered being engulfed in a black liquid that didn't look like human
blood that spurted out when Ken's body was sliced open.
On
the other hand, Ken crawled out from the shadows, looking at Lisa with a big
smile on his face.
It
was the usual smile that made her feel joy from the bottom of her heart.
However, to the current Lisa, it looked like the smile of an inorganic wax
figure.
"Lisa
... Now we can be together forever..."
"W-what
are you talking about? ... And that arm ......."
More
than anything, Ken's current figure in her eyes gave her a real sense of the
abnormality.
Lisa's
eyes were glued to Ken's right arm, which had been deeply slashed by Nozomu.
There was a reddish-black lump of flesh covering the entire arm.
However,
Ken did not seem surprised at all when he saw the ugly lump of flesh that would
make anyone who saw it want to throw up. On the contrary, he looked at the lump
of flesh with loving eyes.
