Vol 2 Chapter 3 (2/2)
Just like how one's comfort a baby.
Letting the baby wet with tears and be relieved.
”It's alright. Ryouma-sama. We're both here. Always by your side...”
Wonder how much time have pa.s.sed.
The dark and heavy air that drifted inside the room has gone.
A calm breathing of a sleeping person leaks out from between the sister's chest.
”Ane-sama. Should we carry him to bed?”
Laura turned her eyes toward Ryouma and said such words.
”I guess so... Laura, try to carry that side.”
Having a huge body exceeding 100 kg, the two sisters somehow managed to lay Ryouma on the bed.
”From now on, what are we going to do?”
Laura line of sight turned toward the broken door.
”I think he won't be able to wake up until evening due to the fatigue from the all-nighter. We should talk to the innkeeper about the door and pay extra money...”
Then Laura began talking in a hesitant manner.
”Ryouma-sama is scary isn't he...”
”Indeed, however, that does not matter... Ryouma-sama has saved us. That's why we're Ryouma-sama belonging. We should just devote ourselves to Ryouma-sama.”
”Un, I agree. Ane-sama.”
After the sisters had exchanged such conversation, they turned their gaze toward their master who has been sleeping on the bed.
(Where is this?)
Ryouma's consciousness was inside a darkness.
Cold darkness, which feels like it can freeze one heart.
(I... That's right!. I was inside my room examining the book.)
Little by little Ryouma's consciousness becomes clear.
”This place is within your mind.”
A cold robotic voice without emotion can be heard.
(My mind? Am I inside my consciousness? ”
”That's right.”
(I did not say anything yet?)
”This is inside your own mind after all. Something like spoken words is insignificant.”
(But you're talking you know?)
”No, that is you only think so yourself.”
(What are you?)
”Me? Me huh? I'm someone closest to you, an existence that understands you the most.”
(What is that?)
”For now, you are good knowing just this much... One day, you will reach the answer yourself.”
After the voice said such word, its asked Ryouma a question.
”What is your wish?”
Ryouma thought for a moment about his strongest wish.
(I... I want to return home. I want to see, Asuka, Grandfather, and my cla.s.smates... I want to go back to my original world.)
”But that will not come true. Did you not confirm it yourself?”
The heartless voice smashed Ryouma's wish.
(I can't come back? Can't I go back to that life once again?)
”You can't. Although the possibility itself is not 0. However, are you prepared to pay a great sacrifice? There's no other method other than clinging to your own luck. You should have understood this... Later, will you have the resolution to lose a great sacrifice? Or end up giving up?”
(Hah? What are you talking about?)
Toward Ryouma's question, the voice continue talking,
”You should understand everything already... It's just that you don't want to admit the answer.”
(I... I'm...)
”If you unleash your rage, you can even destroy this world. Forcibly being summoned to this world and to be made to fight. All of this, whose fault do you think?”
(That is... the old man and the people in that empire fault...)
”Wrong... This is also the problem of this world. This twisted world which filled with sacrifice made by the people from your world.”
The voice denied Ryouma's answer.
(A twisted world?)
”That is correct, this world was established with the premise of taking away! Kill... Violate... Take back what was robbed from one's body. You have the right to do that!”
(I have such right?)
When Ryouma was about to nod his head toward the voice, another voice resounded within the darkness.
”It's alright Ryouma-sama. We're both here. Always by your side...”
It was a warm, soft and comforting voice.
When he heard that, Ryouma lost his consciousness and disappeared from the world of darkness.
”Fumu... You're leaving without freeing me huh?... Well, that's fine. Sooner or later, even if you don't want to, you will have to choose. Either to be accompanied by me or to be swallowed by me... No matter what you decide, it's yours to decide... After all, I'm you...”
In the darkness where Ryouma has gone, only the cold robotic voice can be heard.
