Chapter 158

『Wha… What is this… Help me, Yuuto!』

Aah, this dream again.

A sight of Shiori disappearing into the light, right in front of me.

『It’s painful… It hurts, Yuuto…』

A dream, what I saw many times since that day.

And now, a nightmare with slightly different contents.

Shiori turns into particles and silently disappears.

Next, with blank eyes, appears Kaori-chan, Shiori’s little sister.

『Yuuto-niisan, it hurts…』

Kaori-chan’s voice resonates in complete darkness.

Kaori’s little arms fall down like they are rotting away and as all of her limbs fall apart she crumbles to the ground.

『Help me, help me… Help me…』

At such a acene I could neither help her nor run away or make any excuses.

I always wake up accompanied by despair.

「! Haa, Haa, Haa, mguh, guh.」

Pajama soaked with sweat clings to the body, making unpleasant sensation even stronger.

Because it is an everyday occurrence, at some point I started to leave beside bed a change of clothes and a water container.

Drinking lukewarm water and taking a hot shower I come to senses.

Just today, I cannot afford to make any more mistakes.

Since the day that person revealed to me the fate of missing Kaori-chan, I have been planning the whole time just for this day.

The day I can get the whole lot of『Transference Applicants』together.

「…For Kaito and Mai-chan’s sake, I will certainly kill them all.」

Those two are the only people left that I want to save.

And yet『Transference Applicants』tried to get them as well.

When I heard that the two were caught up in the explosion incident it made my blood run cold.

Kaito who returned all covered in wounds and Mai-chan that at last was reunited with him.

I didn’t want to burden them so I removed Mai from the plan. I changed it so both of them will skip school on an the appointed day.

Mai-chan acted very apologetically, but since they finally were together I wanted them to at least live peacefully, therefore when I came in contact with Kaito I went to the great lengths not to get discovered.

I thought that erasing dangerous bastards is something that I should do alone.

Relieved that the two will be safe, I welcomed this day, when that bunch was likely to take action.

Last night I received a message from Mai-chan saying that she will participate.

Even though I spent a lot of time on the plan I didn’t want to drag Mai-chan into the trouble, since she just welcomed back her important person, but in the end, I backed down under her pressure.

「…will kill after tormenting thoroughly…」

I will never forgive the one who tricked Kaori-chan, making her believe that it was for Shiori’s sake and turning her into the plaything.

And I will not let them get in the way of Kaito regaining his memory.

There is a slim possibility but Kaito’s memory might serve as a clue to save Shiori.

That is why today, I will quit being human.

I will torment the fellow humans as cruelly as possible and then will kill them.

Tormenting, tormenting and tormenting and then I will show off the result of that torture to Transference Applicants from all over the country.

To make it a deterrent I will torture them beyond necessity and only then kill.

But what is even more important, I will do it to vent my anger.

That most likely wasn’t something that a human should do, but I didn’t have even a sliver of hesitation.

「I’ll be going, Shiori, Kaori-chan. I definitely will avenge you.」

I changed into my usual school uniform and headed to school.

Arriving a bit before the opening bell, I retrieve a self-made flash grenade, a number of handcuffs prepared to restrain all of them, a bulky hatchet wrapped in a white cloth and then wait for Mai-chan in an unused classroom which we made in our meeting place.

「Good morning. Yuuto-san.」

「Yeah, Good morning, Mai-chan.」

After a short while appeared Mai, carrying a naginata.

Under the cloth wrapped around its tip was not a practice wooden dupe, but a real sharpened blade.

「…I will ask once again, are you sure? You still can avoid getting…」

「Yuuto-san, you know, you don’t have to worry? It was useless after all. Even if I leave it to others, nothing will come back. I certainly will regain my ordinary days with Brother. That is why I came here.」

「…I see. Then, let’s finally put an end to this today. Because I as well want those getting in the way to disappear, this instant, if possible. Besides, if we fail, more people might be killed.」

For our own reasons, we were deliberately ignoring the danger that people at school were exposed to.

I absolutely cannot afford to fail.

「Moreover, I heard from that person, that trash is trying to kill Brother?」

「……」

That was the information that yesterday was given to us by the person that unveiled the truth to us.

It seems that by some unknown means they learned that missing Kaito came back. And without the doubt, Kaito was put on the top of the scoring system created for us.

There is no way they would leave Kaito alone.

Mai-chan said that she will leave him at home even is she has to tie him up, so he won’t turn up at school, but it is still dangerous.

「If they want to lay hands on my Brother, then there is even more reason to positively end them with my own hands. Or we won’t be able to live peacefully with Brother.」

「…You are right, exactly so.」

After a while, a piercing noise resounded.
