episode_0105

It was the most enjoyable and pleasant day of my long life. The joy of observing Arjen, who became more and more like Hyers as he grew up abusing Yudina, who resembled Aron, was indescribable. The problem is that that happiness fades more easily than expected, because no matter how much Yudina is tormented, in the end she was not Aron who killed Hiers, and Arzen could never become Hiers.

This was a pretty serious problem. To put it mildly, it made me think that it would have been better if I didn’t even think about these two. Of course, it was crazy enough to keep falling into endless despair, but when I saw a light of hope and realized it wasn’t the hope I was looking for, I couldn’t express how crazy I felt.

“Sheesh, you damn bitch.”

Yudina doesn’t even react to anything I do anymore. It was like a doll, just breathing. It was natural for interest to cool down. The moment I became objective and wondered what on earth he was doing not to Aron himself but to his daughter who looked like that bitch, the more I thought about it, the more I felt like an idiot and I couldn’t stop laughing.

Here, I realized once again that I was broken, and when Yudina stopped responding, I moved my target to Arjen. Maybe it was in the past, but now I have both love and hate for Hyers, so I didn’t feel any resistance to beating up Arzen.

Of course, Arjen, who resembles Hyers, was not treated to the same level of abuse as Yudina. It was a feeling of complaining that they didn’t choose me, and ridicule that I was killed anyway.

One thing that is puzzling is that this strange emotional line lasted for quite a long time. It may be that the level of abuse was much less than that with Yudina, but Arjen showed many reactions that made me happy for quite a long time.

Even though every day was a series of harsh moments while being held captive by me, when I saw the child holding on with all his might, hugging the doll that seemed to have been made by my sister, I felt as if my sadism exploded and my brain was soaked in dopamine.

On the other hand, I was also afraid. The more I tormented Arjen, the more I enjoyed it, but Arjen became more and more distant from Hiers. For some reason, the red eyes I saw for the first time had turned to silver like hair.

Anxiety that if things continue like this, it will become less and less fun. Because of that, I ended up making a mistake. Unable to overcome his desire to taste the cerebral medicine more intensely, Arjen went beyond the limit of what he could endure.

“Ah… Oh my.”

Yudina, who refused to receive nutrition, eventually returned to Hyers and Aron. I fed Yudina’s meat to Arjen because I wanted to see his despairing expression.

There was also a spirit of experimentation here. What would be the reaction if a higher being such as a dragon were to prey on cannibals?

“It was delicious, right? Of course, it’s your sister’s meat, so there’s no way it wouldn’t suit your taste.”

“Wow!”

“Hahahaha! Yes, that kind of reaction is fun. Ah, maybe it’s because she’s that bitch’s daughter, but when she goes crazy, her reaction is exactly the same.”

I remembered the time when I killed Aron. The look in his eyes where the light of life was being extinguished directly by my hands was very similar to the way Arjen was screaming right now. I thought she looked more like Hyers, but it seems she is also Aron’s daughter.

After that, after tearing up that insignificant doll, I set Arjen’s spirit on fire. Now, hurry up and show me your next reaction.

“Yudi…! Udiiii!!”

“Hahahaha! What should I do with this? Now there is no one left in this world who can love you~?”

There is no Hyers, no Aron, no Yudina. This small and delicate being in front of me finally became completely alone. Alas, it’s a pity. If you were the same gender as Hyers, I would have been able to love you enough.

“Don’t worry. Someday there will be someone who will love you again. If such a being exists, I will definitely kill it.”

Sadly, I cannot love you who most closely resembles Hiers. So if I can’t have it, it’s right that no one can have it.

“Aaaaa!!”

Arjen exploded as if he couldn’t hold it in any longer. In an instant, she destroyed all the restraints and seals that I had put so much effort into building and rushed at me. Her eyes returned to a brighter red than when we first met.

Kwazijic!

Her appearance changed as she grabbed my face with her hands and pinned me to the floor. The last thing I remember seeing was her eyes turning black and the silver hair she inherited from Aron starting to turn a different color.

Fuuu!

I lost consciousness to her ignorant attack, which focused and exploded an enormous amount of magic power onto my face with her hand.

***

“Oh…!”

Suddenly, my body popped out from a gap in my memory. This is probably because Akasha’s memories were cut off in this state.

“Crazy guy….”

After learning the detailed story, I realized even more how dangerous the dragon named Akasha was. If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win the battle. I tried to read other memories and find his weaknesses as much as possible, but unfortunately the time given to me was running out.

“Wow, your expression has become very contemplative.”

“Wow!?”

Akasha appeared in front of me, as if she was examining all the memories of my short life. I hesitated and tried to back away, but then gave up. This was the corridor where Akasha and my memories were connected, so I realized that it would be meaningless to run anywhere.

“You’ve lived a very interesting life. I never thought it was from another world. Thanks to you, reading your memories has broadened my insight greatly.”

“That’s really annoying. As I was reading your memories, all I could think was that it was shit.”

It was good to learn about Akasha and Arjen’s relationship, but it didn’t really help anything right away. On the other hand, the other side says that they have helped a lot through their own words, so is there any greater loss than this?

“Hehe, you speak nicely at least once.”

When I heard those words, I couldn’t just ignore them. Now that I know his sexual identity, I can realize how dangerous those words are.

“…What are you going to do to me?”

“Are you afraid of dying? Has your life become a waste now?”

The question was asked with the nuance of whether they were targeting the youth market, but the answer that came back was a bit odd. It seems that unlike the real world outside, even dragons cannot demonstrate the ability to read other people’s intentions here.

“Originally, I was planning to tear the body to pieces in front of Arjen without even leaving a corpse behind, but after reading your memories, I changed my mind.”

“…What?”

I hurriedly stepped back, wondering if she was really saying that she was going to fuck me, but as expected, Akasha was approaching me much faster.

“Similar to your thoughts, in fact, those who hold up the small creatures on earth as gods are not completely divine beings. It is far from omniscience and omnipotence.”

Akasha seemed to have read what I thought of the gods and suddenly started talking behind their backs. The disdainful gaze of Stella that he had seen in his memory passed through the corner of his head.

“But it is also true that things that we do not know have such great power that it would not be strange to worship them as gods. For example, in the case of Prinia, who gave you the bow, she can bend and unfold the space as she wants. ‘The End of the World’ is also a work from that year.”

Those words reminded me of ‘sea waterfall’. It was Prinia who recreated that incredible scene.

“Why are you suddenly saying such a thing?”

This time, Akasha understood my intention to keep the main point brief and answered with a grin.

“Ah. As you know, I’ve done quite a bit of research on those bitches. At the time, I thought it was all nonsense, but now that I look at it, it’s quite valuable…”

Akasha hesitated before speaking. At the same time, the world suddenly changed once again. The scene before crossing into the corridor of memories. So, it’s back to Arzen’s Lair.

“This is also possible…!”

Immense mana began to flow around Akasha. The amount was truly enormous, and the density of mana I felt while being next to Arjen until now was incomparable. Akasha, who had concentrated her magic to the point of making her stomach ache, grabbed the air with her magic and twisted it along with a magic circle of enormous size.

“Uh…?”

Akasha literally ripped apart the space like tearing a sheet of paper. Beyond the space he tore was pitch black.

“Do you know what this is?”

I couldn’t answer with words, but I had a guess. I wondered if this was the space crack Prinia was talking about. However, Akasha’s next words surprised me even more.

“It is a gap connected to the world you came from.”

“What…what?”

“I am well-versed in the feeling of ‘suffering.’ From my experience, it is much more painful to have a fleeting piece of hope than to fall into endless despair.”

Akasha lifted me up with one hand and showed it to Arjen as if showing off, then threw me over the crack.

“If I kill you, Arjen will explode once, but what would be the best reaction if I make it so that we can never meet again without knowing that you are alive?”

Akasha’s expression of an eerie smile as she said that was very similar to the maniacal smile I saw in her memory.

“…Eujin…?”

“Arjen!”

Arjen, who seemed to have come to his senses belatedly, looked at me with a vain expression. I too belatedly called out her name, but unfortunately it was already too late.

…….

“Crazy.”

When I realized that the body that had been thrown across the crack had suddenly regained its stability and was sitting somewhere, I was sitting on a chair.

♬~♪~~

And in front of me, there was a monitor screen playing a song by my favorite singer, who was now asleep in my memories.

It was a return home in the true sense of the word.
