(POV Emilia)
Certainly, this child... or Alexander-sensei as he wants me to call him, was someone quite strange... as well as being someone quite determined. From what I could see, he now has 7 crystals with him, which means he has killed 7 people...
Actually, I think I should be terrified of being with someone like him, but without knowing the reason why, instead, I just feel calmer since I met him... maybe I am also someone strange.
Despite the fact that he is a man, my dislike for him is not so high... no, it could even be said that is null. I don't know if it is because he's just a boy, and I can't totally see him as a man… or could it be because of his appearance that is very feminine? Well, anyway, I just know I can be close to him without feeling worried.
And even knowing that he is a bit of a pervert, I just find that part a bit annoying. More than the hatred I feel when I see a man looking at me with a dirty look, with him, this is more like a little discomfort and nothing more... Due to all that, I see him more as a mischievous little boy who has just aroused his curiosity about the body of the opposite s.e.x than someone with malicious intent.
... It must also be because in his eyes, although I can see some l.u.s.t in them, they are not as aggressive as in other people... in him, it is more a feeling of contemplation that he has in his eyes when I have seen him watching me.
Also, one of the things I found most annoying of the men watching me was that when they noticed that I had discovered them, they quickly tried to pretend that they didn't or nothing had happened and then they try to behave like gentlemen...
On the other hand, when I discovered Alexander looking at my chest or my butt, he just smiled at me and didn't even look away as if he didn't care that I was seeing him doing that...this is also annoying, but at least I don't see it like a hypocrite trying to hide behind a mask with which he feigns to be a good person.
”...will we go find other participants?”
”Mmmm ... for now I have other things to do first. We will do that later”
Since he had said that we had to find more crystals and that he would also help me about worrying for my own safety more... although I honestly don't feel the need for me to do that. So, I thought we would look for other participants to do this.
The only thing that drives me to try to do it is because I don't want to die either. Furthermore, I do not want to be alone in this place... maybe if I don't do this, he will decide to leave me... for the things he told me about itself it before, I can understand that if he feels I'm of no help for him, most likely he won't kill me, but he will surely leave me to my fate in this place.
...if that happens, then someone else will end up killing me... and that is having a positive thought, since I may end up having an even worse result than that. So even if I don't like the idea very much and don't want to, I have to seriously consider having to kill other people.
When the guy who tried to [email protected] me previously used the bomb against us, I could see that the other people would not take long to do the same... At that time, the final result was in our favor, but to think that we could have been the ones who were in his place terrified me greatly.
…Without a doubt, that way of dying was very painful and unpleasant. Although how to die due to other bombs may be different depending on the type of these, I do not think there is one that can kill someone without any pain.
So having a little bit idea of what kind of game I was in, and also taking Alexander's earlier words as something to hold on to as justification or comfort to do what I had to do. With the intention of participating in this crazy game, then I asked him what we would do now.
Unexpectedly, it seems that it was not yet time to show my determination. After my question, he seems to want to do something first...
”…what is that?”
Seeing what he takes out, I can't help but ask about this. What Alexander took out of his backpack was a couple of parchments... these were similar to those seen in dramatizations shows of ancient times.
Besides, he also took out a pair of crystals... Or maybe it was some kind of jewelry? I do not know, but these were bright... and it seemed that instead of reflecting the light of the sun, it was rather that they shine by themselves.
” Well, I think it would make things easier for us if we had a few more partners... this would surely help us a lot, don't you think?”
”Partners?
… Do you know anyone else in this place? ”
Hearing him say this, the only thing I could think it was that before coming here or before the two of us meet in this place, most likely he could be in communication with another person through those parchments he had as a kind of letter or something like that... maybe the crystals were to try to communicate with this person using them as a flashlight to send a signal since these seemed to be able to be seen from afar...
”No, I don't know anyone here… well, I don't know them personally. Let's say that the people with whom I will now get in touch to come here, will come from a distant place…”
” C-Can you communicate with people from outside this place?!!”
What he was saying only intrigued me more and more, but hearing the last thing he said, I couldn't help that a great emotion arose inside me... if what he said was true, then perhaps we could ask someone to come to rescue us!
Unfortunately, his following words make me feel discouraged and make me even more confused...
”No, it is not that... it is somewhat complicated to explain, so perhaps the best thing is that you just observe and then you can understand what I am saying... well, you may also just get more confused...”
Before I could ask him for more information, he started taking more things out of the backpack that caused my words to stop for the things I saw… they seemed to be vials and jars that had different things inside. Remembering my chemistry classes, these looked like minerals and substances that I observed in my school laboratory...
Great, I thought he could not be weirder, but now he is trying to do some sort of experiment here! Did he just now remember that he had to do his homework from school?!
...no, I don't think they are taught things like this in elementary school yet... or is it that he goes to one of those private schools where they train geniuses like those seen on television?
”I think with this, everything must be ready now”
”…What do you want to do? Also, if you wanted to do some kind of experiment, isn't it dangerous to do it indoors? Maybe you better do it outside… ”
”Experiment? Well... this should definitely look something like that. But this is not an experiment, remember that I told you that I wanted to call a person... let's say you need to do this in order to do it.
And I remember that this Island is being guarded… I checked this place previously looking for things which they might be watching us with, but I did not find anything here and that's why I think it's better that I do it inside the cabin.
Don't worry, Emilia-kun. This shouldn't be a dangerous thing.”
Seeing all the things he takes out, I had really forgotten that he had told me that he would communicate with someone, although... the truth is that I still did not understand how all those things can help a person to do that.
” ...Don't tell me you want to summon a demon or something like that?”
After trying to link all the things he has taken out of his backpack and thinking in my head for a way of how he would do what he said, the only thing I could think was one of those rituals seen on television... so with a slightly mocking tone I asked him this.
” Oh, you guessed correctly… that is somewhat unexpected. It seems that you are more observant than another blonde girl with big b.r.e.a.s.ts that I know… ”
Unexpectedly the answer I get from him is an affirmative... I really start to wonder if I can get out of this place alive.
”Okay, now we just need to activate it with the crystals!”
Finishing checking everything for one last time, he takes the crystal and places it on the parchment… now I was thinking that perhaps this was his way of distracting me or making me relax because of the things that we will have to do in a short time, but then, after he places the crystal and quickly withdraws, something unexpected happened.
The next thing I witness was out of everything I knew or thought I understood about this world... all the objects he placed on the parchment seem to come to life and begin to mix little by little ...
Not only that, the mass that had been created by the union of all the things that he put there also begins to take the shape of a person, and with each second that passed, this one became more and more like the body of a woman...
Things that I consider impossible or that should be just a fantasy were taking place just in front of my eyes, and so I could only see everything while my jaw almost went out of joint by how much my mouth has opened.
” W-Wh-what the hell is that? !! H- How did you make all these things form the body of a person?!! ”
” Well… if I explain it to you, you still probably wouldn't believe it. Therefore, just accept what your eyes see and try to assimilate it.”
”...”
Obviously I was very unhappy with the answers I get for my questions, but before I could complain about this, something akin to a small steam explosion happened stopping me from demanding a better explanation.
