Vol 1 Chapter 3.1 (1/2)

Chapter 3 - The trickster G.o.d rules - Part 1

A pale, gloomy light envelops the dead Kerberos' body. Just like what happened to the dragon. The remains turn into cl.u.s.ters of tiny lights, scattering into the night sky. Nothing remains of the behemoth ---

(... ... ... ?)

No, wait. ”Traces” do remain. I didn't notice it last time as the Valkyrie picked me up, but with the Kerberos' defeat, a small dark ma.s.s remains. Just what is that, I wonder? I can't see it well ...

(... I can't see it well?)

Impossible. Even in the dead of the night, I'm in the main street. Street lights line up here. And they're even on with neon lights. But in spite of that, why is it getting dark?

(... I give up ... ...)

Which reminds me, my left foot's been eaten, my left shoulder's dislocated ... despite these fatal injuries, I strangely feel no pain at this time. My senses ... my consciousness ... they're fading.

My vision sinks into the darkness ---

... At this rate ... I'm going to ... die ...

As I open my eyelids, I'm back at my own room. I'm lying down at the top of my bed, the Siamese cat Mi-ko sleeping soundly beside me. Somehow, it appears that I'm not in heaven.
