2/4

How many times have I already failed this time? I stopped counting midway since the number of the trial and errors were

already too much for me to remember.

I've even tortured myself to the point that I didn't even bat my eyes anymore. All I felt was anger, and hatred to those guys,

and resentment toward my weak self, and most of all, the only thing that drove me forward was my wish to regain my

peaceful daily life with everyone.

And then, after countless trial and error I've found a route which is akin to light of hope in the total darkness, finally, I've arrived

at the marshland.

「I saw it…」

The blue lake which spread as far as my eyes could see. The lake was an acid lake with no living organisms.

Finally, I've arrived at the strongest person in existence's location. With this, I can finally save Shar, and everyone!

After numerous trial and errors, countless death and failure. I could finally regain my peaceful daily life.

I wiped my tears, and just as I was about to run toward the marshland,

『Too ba~d. This is my territory~.』

I heard that familiar hoarse voice again. Urokonu then appeared in front of me while striking a strange pose again.

「How… Did you?」

I barely managed to squeeze my voice from my parched throat.

『Do you really think you come to a safe pla~ce? Too bad for you, I made it to look like that in purpose~.』

「On… Purpose?」

When I asked back,

『How do you feel? When a bug mustered all their knowledge and thought that they achieved something, only to see their

hope destroyed at the very last moment? There's no better despair than this ri~ght?』

She asked with an enraptured face while writhing in happiness.

Dammit. This is a failure too. Does that mean I'm dancing along like a clown on her palm all this time?

「This is――Too much!」

I shouted to the top of my lungs and ran toward the lake while imitating the strongest existence.

My goal was right before me. This was a fact that I could never abandon.

But――

『IT'S FUTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~LE!』

My head was caught from behind.

「No… This is… Too much…」

I even lost the will to resist anymore. 

3/4

『Oh my~, are you crying now? How shameful, my heart beats loudly for you.』

I took out a knife with my left hand, and pierced my own throat with it, instantly killing myself
