Time goes back a
little.
【Runa's POV】
It hurts... it hurts
so much.
I was in so much pain
that I was lying on the ground, unable to move.
No... it's not just
the pain.
I don't want to live
in this world anymore. I want to go back to my former world.
Why do I have to go
through this? Why do I have to be hurt so unreasonably?
I've had enough...
Everyone is so ugly. Everyone is so self-serving and only acts in their own
interest.
Why don't they think
further ahead? Why don't they consider the inconvenience they cause to others?
How can they go about things so selfishly? I don't understand! I don't
understand!
I can't take it
anymore... it hurts... I'm so tired...
───You don't want to go
through this anymore?
At that moment, as if
my personality had split, I heard a voice that sounded like mine but had a
different will.
Of course... I hate
this! I hate this unreasonableness!
───Why do you think
you're going through this? Why do you think you're the only one who suffers
such unreasonableness?
………I don't know.
Unreasonableness happens regardless of one's ability. If I knew the reason, I
would take measures! I don't know the reason!
───It's because you don't
have enough power.
"───"
The rebuttal was so
quick───but for some reason,
the words slipped into my mind without any objection.
───Because you don't have
enough power. You can't get what you want because you don't have enough power.
But if you have power, you can get anything.
………Power.
───That's right! Power!
With power, you can get anything! Whether it's wealth, popularity───or even love!
………Love?
───Yes! Love too! Don't
you have someone you want desperately?
………。
『Kakyoin-san』
Suddenly, I imagined
Kushina's smiling face.
───If you have power, you
can get that person too. You can have anything you want───if you have
overwhelming power that no one can interfere with.
………。
───Come, take my hand.
Then I will give you power. I will give you the results you desire.
───In exchange, give me
half of you. There's someone I want too───someone I love. To get that person───give me half of you.
………。
I───

【Akana's POV】
Tekiru, a rank 5
adventurer well-known in this town, has disappeared somewhere.
That noble and proud
Runa-san is still lying there, motionless. The pain of her severely injured arm
must be terrible.
Faith, the other rank
5 adventurer, is still in a state of confusion. After taking Runa-san's arm,
he's been watching me but hasn't moved. But I'm sure he'll attack again if I make
the slightest movement.
... What should I
do...? I can't possibly win, and I can't use magic in this space. Runa-san's
blood loss is getting worse by the minute while I'm doing nothing like this...!
I squeezed my eyelids
shut, trying to turn a blind eye to the hopeless reality───
"───!?"
Suddenly, Runa-san
raised her upper body as if she were having a reflex.
Runa-san turned her
face towards me. Then, she started looking at me carefully from the bottom to
the top.
Eh...? Eh?
After a while, as if
she had finished looking, Runa-san smiled at me. ───But her eyes were
empty. To my surprise, her eyes were so cold.
At that moment, I
thought───so scary.
Is this Runa-san? Even
though we'd been together for a while, her eyes were so cold that I couldn't
help but feel that way.
Runa-san reaches out
her hand.
My shoulders shook
reflexively.
But Runa-san just puts
her hand on my head. Her eyes were cold, but her smile and gestures were
somehow warm, and I couldn't understand why.
"Gruaaaaaaa!!!!"
Faith reacted
frantically because Runa-san suddenly moved. Not good!
"Runa-san!"
Runa-san turns towards
Faith. However, her smile remains on her face, and she mumbles,
"………Hmm, Hadira's
living corpse (Division Rob). A well-made doll, as always."
She mumbles something.
Faith raised his
greatsword, put it on his shoulder, and bent his waist to come towards us.
To such a Faith,
Runa-san calmly stretches out her arm───and turns her palm upward.
"───!?"
Suddenly, something
black gushed out from directly beneath Faith, enveloping him. Faith struggled
to escape, but something that pressed in on him rapidly entangled him───and finally, he was
completely enveloped by something, and, together with Faith, the black
something returned to the ground.
Looking closely, the
left arm of Runa-san, which had been dripping blood until just now, has changed
into the same black something as that which enveloped Faith.
───It's creepy.
What on earth has
happened to her???
Runa-san turned toward
me.
And then, after
smiling at me once more, Runa-san disappeared from my sight in an instant.
