THE SUNSET, shi+RON AND COLIO – PART 1
February 18, 2016Tgurneu
The rain had already stopped at some point
The as still strong,the hectic clouds drift from east to west
Cigal carefully parted the hair that clung to his forehead At his feet was Ha
While looking down at her, Cigal pulled out a arette case in his pocket and rubbed it a couple of ti the battle and thus it only emitted an unpleasant smoke
Cigal threw the rinned
“Such a pity Even convicts on the death row are gran…ted one final smoke”
Haed at the pain of her wounds
Since it even interrupted her words midway, they lost all impact
“Coht? That’s obvious”
Ha body and her physical strength that was further aided by s anymore
Looking down at Haal spoke
“Aren’t you going to beg for your life? You loser wo”
“…You piece of shi+t”
Haot me?
Just now, the right side of my body was cut pretty bad I can’t ht shoulder to the navel ht breast is practically cut into two Well, but that isn’t really the problem here
The fact that the toes on ht foot were cut off is also bad Only the joints of my little pinky re in touch with ht now my head feels hot, but when it cools down it’ll surely be painful
It’s pretty bad that I cut the tendons in ht foot
My head was also hit quite a lot Maybe I should review the basics of landing safely? My finger is also bleeding… it’s because I left the sling wrapped around it
I y as well If the typhoon was going to pass so quickly, I could have also devotedaway
Oh well, she stopped thinking That’s it
Cigal was grinning as he looked at Hamyuts
“Hh Die”
Cigal slowly raised Shlamuffen
Ha
She wanted to at least try and take him doith her
She couldn’t let the bastard who killed her stay alive – that was all
“…”
Ha in the wind Broken wet branches lay on the ground
She didn’t notice it until now, but they were near a vacant lot in the outskirts of town Around them were scrap iron, wood and coals
Haround had the traces of an explosion, almost completely erased by the rain and the storal probably detonated here before
She thought that her last vieas rather dull
“Hamyuts Meseta!”
Then, she heard a voice It wasn’t the voice of one of the nearby residents who already ran away froer
Both Cigal and Hamyuts looked at the voice’s direction A huh to enter this superhuman battlefield
This out-of-place intruder was gasping for breath, and talked in a calm voice
“Wait I’ll do it”
The intruder was a boy He was short and had a slight hunchback His hair was overgrown and grizzled
His grey linen shi+rt becahtly wet in the rain
“Who are you?”
Cigal asked
“Colio Tonies”
The intruder si in front of the kneeling Hamyuts as if to protect her
“Colio… who exactly are you? I can’t recall”
“One of the bouys”
“Well, well So you’re still alive? Soh after all, huh”
While grinning, Cigal withdrew Shlamuffen’s blade
Hah yet Cigal was still vigilant against her
“It sure is convenient… Colio, was it? Alright, that’s perfect I’ll give you the honor of killing Hamyuts”
Cigal smiled and pointed at Colio’s chest
“Kill her”
However, Colio didn’t al looked puzzled
“What is it? Quickly detonate yourself”
Colio didn’t answer
“Why did you brat come here? You’re in the way Scram”
Hamyuts said towards Colio’s back
“What are you trying to do? It’s none of your business Get outta here Quietly go away and then you can live or die or whatever”
Colio didn’t answer Hamyuts’s words either She scowled at his back
“What is it? Do it already Well, I guess I can give you some time to enjoy yourself Even if I think this world is worthless, there are still all kinds of people I want to see Hahaha, this feels good”
“You’re in the way Scram, Colio If you stand there I can’t kill that piece of shi+t”
Colio slowly but carefully opened his mouth
“shi+ron’s Book…”
Colio started talking to Cigal Hamyuts was completely befuddled
“Do you have shi+ron’s Book?”
Cigal shrugged
“What are you saying? It’s nothing to waste time over”
“So you do have it?”
Colio pressed further Cigal looked like he didn’t want to bother answering
“…Do you want shi+ron’s Book? Are you stupid? What’s a shi+tty brat like you trying to do?”
Hamyuts said from behind
“I do want it, but right now it doesn’t really matter”
“What?”
Colio pulled a single knife from his pocket
“I caht”
Both Cigal and Ha a knife
The one trying to interrupt the battle between the owner of one of the Meest sniper, was an a a knife
Even when viewed from the eyes of Hamyuts as far detached from common sense, it seemed ridiculous
“Are you stupid? Do you think you have a chance? Do you really think you can win?”
Ha Colio answered her,
“…I can’t win against an opponent that even you lost against Even if I were to fight him thousands of times, I still wouldn’t beat him”
Colio clenched his knife He stared at Cigal, who stood about sevenShlamuffen
Cigal looked at Colio, grinning
However, despite the overwhel difference in their abilities, Colio didn’t waver
“That’s why I’ht”
“So ill?”
“Me and… shi+ron”
At that al nor Hamyuts noticed that fact
They only paid heed to Colio
“How are you planning to beat him?”
“I don’t know”
Colio waited He believed that
“So run away”
“No, I’ll fight”
Colio firround
“Why?”
“Because shi+ron didn’t seeaway”
At that time, the wind rapidly weakened
“shi+ron…”
Colio muttered
“Is this the moment, shi+ron?”
The wind ceased
“Is this the moment, shi+ron!”
Colio dashed towards the sal
“Is this the moment, shi+ron Booyacornish!+”
shi+ron said the following at the time of dusk
“When my words reach you…
Please go to the place where a precious person lost someone precious to them
What you were seeking for a long tih on your back
For a briefthen”
Colio clearly remembered those words
For an instant, just enough for the leaves dancing in the air to fall down, the wind stopped and Colio ran
Cigal grabbed his sword so he could slice the onco Colio to pieces
And just when Shla…
All of a sudden, without any warning…
The world was dyed in a red light
“…!”
It came from directly behind Colio
The red setting sun shone in froap in the clouds
The sunset drowned this world where the rain and clouds were colored grey for an instant The clouds, winds, and the three people facing each other were all dyed by red light
This wasn’t just another sunset typical of Toatt Mining Town
It was an incomparably clearer sky
The typhoon that came only once a century cleansed and bleay the town’s ashen air
It was the light of an unclouded sunset that wasn’t seen for who kno many decades
That light was at Colio’s back
Cigal was directly facing that light
His eyes, which beca Toere now blinded by that red light
“shi+ron!”
Colio called her naain
Cigal’s unaccustoht
He instinctively closed his eyes He covered therasp Shlamuffen
In that brief opening, Colio closed the endless distance between them
A stor these coincidences on top of each other, this was the only chance for victory
And Colio took it
His knife closed in on Cigal’s chest…
Shlamuffen was pulled out…
A spider blade and a s…
And everything was settled far too quickly
THE SUNSET, shi+RON, AND COLIO – PART 2
February 19, 2016Tgurneu
shi+ron wore a black combat uniform
Shlamuffen was in her hand
Her surroundings smelled of blood and the corpses of soldiers were strewn around
shi+ron’s hands turned a notebook’s pages
The cure for Dragon Pneumonia ritten inside Those were the results of her predictions and research
She slowly flipped through the pages as if she was reading it to someone asn’t there
When she reached the very last page, shi+ron said,
“September 20, 1924 An unprecedented typhoon will co Town
That’s when that person and that on Pneumonia will awaken
To you, the injured person who holds this Book-
I know thatmy predictions
However, without them, that person and I wouldn’t have met I want that person to see ht now
I aive me”
After saying this, shi+ron closed the book
The one she was talking to was Hamyuts Meseta
“However, I must also thank you
For taking that person’s bo him live
For protecting the town of that person, Big Brother Carthello, and Big Sister Ia
Thank you so much”
shi+ron spoke while pointing at the notebook
“With this on Pneuh ti Sister Ia to receive it
It should be sih for someone in your position”
