Chapter 13: Sha

“Uh-huh”

I couldn’t do anything but make that random, buffoonish sound

“ Yeah”

Futaba-san nods while shedding large drops of tears

You’re strong, enduring all that— are not the thoughtless words of praise I felt like giving her

“Uh-huh, I see haha, so even that class rep has the heart to throw people aside”

I surprisedin that mumble were

Yeah, I kneouldn’t be a fun story And certainly, I understand what those girls decided was somewhat reasonable Limited recovery items, combat ability, threshold on survivors Futaba Meiko asn’t co There couldn’t be a better candidate to cast aside at that first juncture

I was neither hot-blooded compatriot of justice, nor was I a charitable man of the cloth So in a similar situation, I’d make the same decision I could end up, unlike the class rep and Natsukawa-san who hesitated till the very end, spewing uglier,wrong

“Like hell they didn’t”

Yet, from deep inside my heart, rises a tremendous hatred Come face to face with a victie sweeps over me

Because the Futaba-san in front of is that pitiable— is not the reason It’s because, she’s just like

“If you weren’t so like a Healer, I’d’ve already left this useless lard and made you a pal”

Memories of humiliation resurface

“Hey, aren’t you glad Saitou, your good pal got a shi+tty vocation Thanks to Kotarou-kun being a Sha that while hittin’ away Man, you really got a great friend there Might be jealous”

The filthy sensation of spit on ed up

Yes, it’s because I’uchi It’s because Futaba-san is powerless that she wasn’t recognized as in ally Both were the same, a natural result of our own inability

But no as I such an upright person, or some kind of defeatist so as to submissively accept that result

No way in hell I don’t know about others, but if it’s e, wouldn’t loathe, wouldn’t curse—

“Futaba-san, let’s team up”

I gave it to her straight, no roundabout, te to lead her into wanting it like so re it

“Eh?”

Blinking her round overflowing eyes, Futaba-san stares at irl’s eyes, but with the influx of ht back at those circular irides

“Futaba-san, I don’t think you want to die yet?”

“Uh, yea”

“And of course you aren’t thinking it’s sobetrayed and want to commit suicide?”

“N-never!?”[1]

That’s good, she still has the energy to instantly deny suicide If she was chronically depressed or so, cheerup and counselling

If

she has the will to live, I’d more than welcome her aboard Well, not like I have the luxury to pick and choose my allies

“Then, teaeon’s quite too much for me to capture solo”

“A-uh, but I can’t, do anything So scared, I can’t fight I’ll definitely be a pain for you, Momokawa-kun!”

“That’s fine, I can’t fight either I’d even bet, my vocation is the weakest in the whole class”

It’s really quite pathetic, but here I shall boldly proclaim For I doth be the true weakest

“ Momokawa-kun’s, vocation?”

“It’s Shaet offensives, I don’t have any defence or evasion either Top it off, not a thing for getaways either“

Yeah, you’re dauchi, a Shaman can literally do fuck all, a real shi+t vocation, for now I beat the Ar up a lifetime’s worth of luck

“But, Momokawa-kun, you saved me!”
