Epilogue 09 - The Seven Dwarfs

God did not give Saibara Mina the kind of special talent that made other people like her

No one was perfect in this world Everyone had flaws upon close inspection She understood this However, even though she knew she was far from perfect, she was very sensitive to the small flaws and failures of others and easily became upset with them It was really mental She was often paranoid and never looked happy Mina was already thought of as a very abnormal perfectionist when she was still a normal human

Others certainly noticed this side of Mina's personality too She reached the same conclusion after she analyzed herself Mina expected the best of everyone else and she was never satisfied when she spent time with other people She always spurted complaints and rants that put other people off She was as a very intolerable bad woman

Finally, Mina felt unhappy about herself She started to dislike and fearother people, and almost never left her house

Why did she hate other people so much? Mina pondered and beca As she came to dislike more and more people, there was no one left who she liked

She was lost when she realized this There was truly no one left who she liked No matter how close they were to her, be they friends or faers eren't able to hurt her, she disliked all of theh she still interacted with them on intimate terms, she knew each parties despised the other and insulted each other internally

This kind of knowledge was very, very disgusting

A world where there was no one you liked would probably be a very lonely and terrifying world

Mina was very scared and tried her best to like others, but it didn't work She took a long tie, and it becao back to normal

Perhaps it was because she hardly interacted with others as a kid and just liked to read on her own The people in books and a all had perfect appearances and actions

But people were not like this in reality Therefore, she would always feel dissatisfied She would always be unhappy and she can't like others

Ahh, Mina reminisced She had once cried in her cold, sterile roo her knees If she could live all over again, if she could choose a coh reincarnation and obtain a different life -

- she would definitely try her best to like someone

The gluttonous nored all concepts andaround it by force The mist completely deleted the enorht The enee body was split in half fro the road, then disappeared completely

Mina panted heavily and ran forwards while keeping up her guard

”Ahhh”

She realized her hand was bleeding only when the spray can fell fro co from her head

Even now, she still did not have a full grasp of the situation

She just knew that her body did not feel pain Maybe there wasn't a big wound The wounds on her wrists would speedily recover anyways Only the bloodstain would remain The mark that was a mixture of her blood and the monsters she killed

She chased that bastard with Mitsuki's appearance and sprinted along the city with no purpose The sht of God was now forever covered in a cri the place feel

But it was fine Neither God nor the worldthat bastard, thather immediately That was the only way her mind could be at ease

Mitsuki, Mitsuki Mitsuki was her little sister who had always supported her, both before and after their transformation into immortals But she was!

”Ahhh!”

She roared and tried to chase away the wild thoughts in her head She didn't want to think about anything right now She just wanted to find her ene in the world Mina was now completely dominated by a powerful desire to destroy

”Type B - Jack JewelFixation Mist”

The thin mist that poured out endlessly completely repelled these small-fry monsters Mina took out another spray can and sprayed s near her

The faint ently between the collapsed floorboards and walls of the buildings The mist stuck to the structure and fixed theher on the floorboards she fixed with Jack JewelFixation Mist, and instantly reached the top of the building She ju any trace of her escaped enemy

Her enemy

The despicable enemy who had taken Mitsuki's form She wouldn't let her escape She would capture her even if she had to follow her into the bowels of hell itself She would kill her

Mina suddenly realized that her hts, those plain and sihts

Her brain was full of ee, but her body still unconsciously chose the most appropriate behavior

She flew into the sky as if she was a bat

The breeze blew Mina's three long braids as they danced in the air like snakes Jack JewelFixation Mist fixated various spots of air and she leapt up one step at a ti on invisible points as if she alking on nothing Although the ene very fast and looked to have unbelievable sta freely between the buildings, Mina seemed to fly as if she was in a movie

She finally landed in front of her opponent and attacked with the spray cans in both hands siazed at the fake Mitsuki in front of her and her boiling hatred sprayed out with the ave her opponent a death declaration:

”Prepare yourself I aine”

Her endless rage made her short of breath Mina's face was pale and she moaned in a low voice:

”I will kill you - without mercy”

Words were less by now, and sounds were not necessary Mina's was entirely focused on the opponent before her and wanted nothing less than to tear and bite her apart Right, she should do that That fake Mitsuki looked at Mina, as completely expressionless, and still smiled and spoke very leisurely:

”Oh? I'er sister with such a desire to kill? I can't iine such a lethal attitude”

” Shut up”

She said all this to rile up Mina Mina saw blood in her eyes and felt extremely anxious This wouldn't do She must kill this person, even if she died in the process She needed to cale to mercilessly chop up this bastard

She took a deep breath and looked sideways at the eneed her shoulders and pointed her hands souard and looked towards the direction she pointed toward

She saw a nightmarish scene

””

It was unpredicted Totally unpredicted, veritably the worst situation possible

That iered and said words to Mina with a soft, sweet voice, as if to provoke her

”Isn't it awesome? Mmm, it's ok even if you want to kill other people too”

On the ordinary and small rural path between the scattered shops at the end of Mina's gaze were two young people Mina knew very well

”Mitaka! Tatsue!”

The boy and girl were lying in a pool of blood and notat all They had probably been attacked by countless monsters They - they were Mitsuki's friends They were also Mina's friends, ere just children enjoying their happy and sweet life!

Takamikado Mitaka and Kuroki Tatsue

Mina couldn't say anything towards the boy and girl lying on the puddle of blood, ere still holding hands After giving one look at Mitsuki's imposter - Mina howled in sorrow and ran towards Mitaka and Tatsue

”Hehehehe”

That hter, mixed with hidden scorn, echoed behind Mina

It was just for the blink of an eye, but she was grateful to that bastard She didn't dare to think ould happen if it had been too late, and Mina hadn't noticed Tatsue and Mitaka Mina ain -

Once again?

”Mmmm”

Her younger sister's form took over all of her vision Hoas Mitsuki?! A certain part of her brain kept trying its best to discard the terrible thoughts However, she could not even deceive herself, but was influenced by that worst possible reality

Mitsuki was - Mitsuki was -

”Ah - Ahhhhhh!”

Mina roared like a beast Her own roaring rushed past her own ears loudly, as if blood was also going to seep out of her throat She sank coht She couldn't allow her heart to be frozen over because of her sorrow She still needed to go kill those people If tears clouded her eyes and

Even so, warnored Mina's consciousness and flowed out of her eyes, slithering down her cheeks

Tears

Where should she go now?

She was full of sorrow, loneliness, anxiety, and hatred Everything - she wanted everything that was Sterilization Disinfection to disappear She could not do anything She was not any different to when she was still a human

Perhaps, no matter what she did, no matter if she was alive or dead, she would make no effect on the world Maybe that was the kind of woman she was If that was the case, then if she had stayed in that sterile room and never left, if she had starved herself to death - thenlike this anymore

No

”What are you doing!? What are you guys doing!?”

It was not over yet! Mina and the world were not done yet She just had to erase all regret and despair As long as her wrists could still ht As long as her fingers could still ht Maybe she wouldn't be able to change the world, but she ht be able to help some people after all

Actually, she wasn't so, or despicable

The person whom Mitsuki adored should be that nurse who helped others, that outstanding older sister

The white on It flew rapidly in all directions and s and annihilating the echoed, as pieces of nored all this and ju in puddles of blood, and protected them

She held onto the spray cans tightly and sprayed out white mist continuously The enemy in front of her instantly stiffened and ceased tovoice:

”Yes - don't just assue everywhere, that you can eat up hu to your preferences”

She was the cruel and ean, who existed in order to hunt all the evils of this world Saibara Mina s monsters The pristine white mist danced everywhere and touched the monsters' liround and the buildings The monsters' resistance seemed so weak and pointless They could neither attack nor defend The white torrent of judgment did not allow any resistance to stand before it It completely erased all matter and concept

” You've never heard of Sterilization Disinfection, have you?”

This was a slaughter She tore giant wounds on the enor out She parried all the fla they shot out, and haantly sent all the idiots who flew here to their graves She was crazy Mina sank completely intothan the other ment who erased all the evils of this world, Sterilization Disinfection All the actions of the less before her

She blew up the ene blood was cleared out with the torrential wind, and completely disappeared

She had lost count of how long this battle lasted

””

When Mina came back to, the entire world had been stained blood red, and it was enveloped in a terrifying silence The erAll the lives that fleards the school were also silent, as if they were trying very hard not toround decoration

Mina was standing alone on this draination The background was very vague She knelt down and shook Tatsue and Mitaka, ere lying next to her feet

She then started to exah their wounds didn't seeue and loss of blood and the confusion of where should they go to be safe had overwhelmed their bodies, and caused them to be like this Humans were this kind of creature, after all Once they decided on their destination, they would keeproad without an actual goal

A kind look surfaced on Mina's face and she patted their hair as if she was caressing a kid Although she had lost a lot of her Fragment's power and was very tired - she still felt very reassured

” You've had a tough time, no? Don't worry It should be all fine now”

She expertly instilled vitality into the bodies of the two children It was Mitaka who jumped up first, then Tatsue also opened her eyes dazedly Although their eyes still retained a residue of whatever horrors they witnessed, they perked up again after noticing Mina's presence

Looking at their still dazed expressions, Mina lowered her head and spoke as if she was angry

”Come on You two look like as if you saw a demon”

”Mina-san”

Tatsue ly childish sound, coed Mina tightly Mina looked very confused and didn't respond at all The two of thehtly Mina felt her warradually calmed down

She felt the warmth and softness of the other's body

Tatuse wriggled lightly andsounds She was so happy just to feel another person's warmth - it was incredible

Tatsue shook her head and her entire body relaxed as she cried loudly

”It was scary! So scary They were so big, and they came out one after the other These monsters!”

”Tatsue-san”

Mina petted her Tatsue's head softly Mina's eyes were full of genuine emotions as she looked at Mitaka, as next to them

”Mitaka, isn't the knight shi+rking from his duties if your beloved princess became this terrified?”

”Speaking of being a knight Tatsue is more powerful than me”

Mitaka s as he hunched his shoulders

”Coht now, Mina? I don't knohy, but I feel like sos just happened I can't stop the chill I keep feeling in my heart”

”Indeed - ”

The three of theed the information they had

Mitaka and Tatsue had gone to school after they got up in theWhile they were on the way, they u street They started fighting with theained a victory, then tried to rush towards Mina's apartment However, they h they took a big loop around the school - it was as if the entire Kannonsakazaki becahting against them And in the end, they exhausted their staathered

Mina was particularly interested in those two named Ame and Natsuko The monsters the others ed into Mitaka's story, she felt those toht They oal, and were not normal monsters

They see-Armed Demon

Compared to ordinary humans, they were existences bestoith despicable abilities That Ulti in the shadows - it was very possible that she used her ability to modify the flesh and created these monsters

However, they still did not understand her goal She see the school What would be the purpose of that?

Tatsue, Mitaka, and Mina conversed with each other and quietly thought over the sters soon became anxious and looked over at Mina

“Mina-san… what should we do now?”

“Indeed –”

Mina nodded gravely as she heard Tatsue’s question Yes, it wasn’t the tiht now Even her ability has a limit

Revenge Or rather, to vent her anger

Mina spoke out loudly in a vicious and terrifying voice:

“I a Ulti soate her, and kill her as soon as possible”

Mina grasped the spray cans rightly and gave a pallid smile to the other two

“As for the two of you, it’s best to hide in le Rooht not be able to push back so many monsters – they can still do more than ordinary humans Therefore…”

She then tightly embraced Tatsue and Mitaka She had never ehtly as this in her memory She wanted to seek warmth, and she was terrified to be refused Mina's own personality was very bad, and she also had a very satirical tongue She ht be despised by others

But these children, these foolish children, had never noticed her own despicable true nature and embraced her without any inhibition She was so happy Maybe the 'Mina' that Tatsue and Mitaka saw did not have any of the flaws she actually had They were very innocent and naive, and only saw a part of her They trusted this perfect Mina before the as possible

”If we go to the apartment”

Tatsue raised a question that :

”Will we see Princess Mitsuki there?”

””

Princess Mitsuki Mitsuki Her sister Her body couldn't stop shaking when she thought of her Mina didn't answer them and only moaned She didn't knohat they would think Maybe they had already felt it, and that hy they were being quiet

Mina hugged the time However, when she realized that Ulti to runaway at this opportunity, she let go of this familial warmth

”Mitaka Tatsue”

She put her ared to push back the tears swelling up her eyes, and lowered her head:

” Thank you so ood friends with Ki-chan She was very happy”

Mina was no longer a weak hument of God named Disinfection Sterilization, ould completely erase all the sins of this world

”Mina”

That hat she wanted She had already suffocated her heart, and resolved to exist just to kill Ultimate shi+eldThe Weakest Her weak nerves wavered when she heard Mitaka's voice Mina furrowed her brows and looked at him quietly

”Are you looking for Ultio with you Mina, you're still not very good with searching for other existences' auras, are you? It's hard for you to find a shapeshi+fter I am a snake, so it is very easy for ments”

”But Mitaka”

It was too dangerous Mitaka's battle proas nothing co Ultimate shi+eldThe Weakest Mina had no idea how that wo Mitaka along onto this dangerous and uneasy battlefield

”It's fine Let me handle it It's too heavy to just have Mina carry everything”

Mitaka's golden eyes sparkled as he spoke to Mina sincerely
