Chapter 29 (2/2)

“……How could this be, how did it become like this……”

I squatted by everyone’s sides ere all li uncontrollably, and tears flowed out from my eyes

Why did it become like this…… I’ve lost everyone important to me like this……

If everything becomes like this, how am I supposed to face the destruction ends all by myself……

“……Why…… Why……”

All I could do in that pitch black world was cry

When I openedof the roo in the dorms for more than half a year already The rooht outside myat all The sun probably hasn’t risen yet

“……It…… was a dream”

My voice was hoarse, and htly There was cold sweat on htly wet It see in real life as well

What a terrible dreahtly with both arms

You have to trade soic where the price is a life

It’s probably because that I heard such a scary topic, causing me to have such a scary dream However, that future isn’t impossible……

In the game “Fortune Lover,” the only person whose life was at risk in the Alan, Keith, and Jared routes was the villainess rival Katarina Claes I never got a chance to clear the Nico route…… The rival character for the Nico route is his sister Sophia I think that it’s possible with howat all for the sake of his sister

That’s why…… That kind of future definitely isn’t impossible……

This gaerous for Katarina Claes Just ers, I’ve prepared various countermeasures over these seven years

I often told ht”

Even so, that dream…… That scene wouldn’t disappear at all from my mind

In the end, I wasn’t able to go back to sleep at all after that

The next day, either because I hardly got any sleep at all, or because I had seen such a horrible drea with everyone, and so Keith and Jared accoot some rest

Is it because I didn’t get enough sleep, I fell asleep the moment I hit the warm bed

Quite a lot of tiain, it was almost lunch break already, and as expected, Jared and Keith probably returned to class

My head was co so much, I thanked the infirmary nurse, and headed back to classes myself as well

Yesterday, Jared had earnestly pleaded with o anywhere by myself, but the short distance between the infirmary and classrooms shouldn’t be a problearden between the infirh there

I walked through the garden that was filled with sunshi+ne Then, I saw the tiny bench fro lunch on before

Then, just a little…… I walked over to the bench, and sat on it as well

Until we beca here by herself

That cute, gentle Maria…… Even though it’s already becoether now……

If Jared’s analysis yesterday was right…… Maria’s in quite a lot of danger right now After all, she ic that sacrificed someone else’s life……

“Katarina-san? What are you doing in a place like this?”

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me and I looked back in surprise, and the student council president was standing there with his usual smile

“Uh, uhh…… I wasn’t feeling well, so I was just resting in the infirmary, and I was about to return to the classrooms……”

“So that’s hoas But, we still haven’t found Maria-san yet, it’s dangerous to be here by yourself in such an out-of-the-way place such as this I’ll accompany you”

“Th, thank you very much”

And so, I took his outstretched hand that was proffered to me

Then I suddenly had a thought I wonder ould the student council president be in a place like this Since classes are still going on right now, there weren’t any other students around As for him, ould he be in a place like this?

As that question crossed my mind, and I looked at the president, while his brilliant red hair was sparkling from the sun’s rays

At seeing that sight, aitself out of my mind

“The hidden character is~ surprisingly bad~”

The s A-chan happily continued on with her spoilers despite my protests

“He’s a dangerous person that has dark ic If you capture him successfully, he’ll have a sweet daily life with the heroine, but…… If you fail, he’ll kill the heroine and all her friends in the student council, it’s a really bad end where everyone dies, isn’t it – By the way, this hidden character…… Has brilliant red hair and grey eyes -”

Yes, I think I did hear so like this from A-chan

The existence of a hidden character and his endings……

The ending from the dream yesterday definitely wasn’t impossible…… The heroine and everyone in the student council dying…… Such an ending definitely existed……

Cold sas running down my back

Why did I forget such an i until now…… I’m really such an idiot……

Brilliant red hair and grey eyes – I stared at the student council president as sently before me, Sirius Deek This person’s the hidden character in “Fortune Lover,” the person with dark ic –

This gentle person…… Will take the lives of Maria and the other student council members, everyone important to me…… I really can’t believe it at all……

However, if Jared’s analysis was right, this incident has to do with a dark ic user…… And the president – Sirius Deek, probably has the ability of dark ic

Dark e……

“Katarina-san, what’s the matter?”

While holding his hand, I was co hientle self

Is it really this person……

“President…… Do you have dark ic? And, what did you do to Maria?”

“………What’s dark ic?”

Before I realized it, I asked him by reflex, and Sirius had a confused look on his face It’s a face that says he’s never heard of such a thing before

That’s right Most people probably wouldn’t know about such a ic As for me as well, I had just heard about it from Jared, and never knew about it until then

He really ht be different now in reality

My friends are also quite different froaood chance that he’s different froame

“That’s right You’ve probably never heard of such a thing It’s i to Maria and us with the power of dark ”

That’s it, II really can’t think that such a gentle president would do soic at all

That’s what I thought, and when I looked at Sirius again –

I saw hi at me with cold eyes that I had never seen before from him

“……President……?

“……Gentle…… You said I’ht”

“……I entle and all……”

I was a bit shaken at his cold eyes and voice but still answered him, and then –

Sirius changed his expression

“That’s all just acting It’s really easy to pretend to be gentle and calm It looks like it was so easy to fool all you idiots, eh”

“!?”

At seeing how I opened my eyes wide in surprise, a smile appeared on Sirius’s face as if to make fun of me

“By the way, I also kidnapped Maria Ca out that she shouldn’t have Also, Katarina Claes, I really hate you Saying that you’re helping those that are lonely, saving people with the intention of being a hypocrite! I can’t help but be irritated whenever I look at you!”

He changed fro words full of anger towards htly as well, and it hurt quite a bit

“You should just disappear somewhere already!”

Saying that I’? Hypocrite? There’s so s that I don’t understand about what Sirius is saying

But, his words were so full of malice, I did understand that he seems to hate me……

And, it seems that this person was the culprit who took away Maria as well

Then, just like in the game, will this person take away everyone’s lives in the student council, everyone important to me……

I looked into Sirius’s grey eyes It was so different from his usual calm expression, his eyes were cold as ice

He said that he hientleness was all acting All his words he spat out at me were full of malice

Even so…… Why……

“……Are you alright?”

I reached out my free hand towards Sirius’s face

Sirius who had such cold eyes and said such words full of malice towards me

Even so, in contrast to his words, his face looked so very, very bitter…… It seemed like he would cry at any moment

His complexion looked terrible as well, as if he would fall over at any moment……

When my outstretched hand touched his face, it was as cold as ice

“……You hypocrite…… That’s enough out of you! Don’t bother yourself with et close to ht already!”

He knocked awayhis face, and shouted at me

Then…… For so slowly turned dark before radually faded……

“Just go to sleep like that Keep sleeping until your life runs out”

Sirius said so as if he were spitting it out

The last thing I saw inconsciousness was –

Sirius was crying
