835 You all deserve to die! (1/2)

Ten years had passed.

She was someone that he thought he would never forget. However, her face had imperceptibly become hazy in his mind as time passed.

He still had the same feelings, and still missed her. But compared to ten years ago… his feelings were far less than before.

That was just how humans were.

Humans were good at forgetting. Humans were useless, foolish, and ugly… from ancient past to present, never changing.

What would she say at this time if she was still here?

She would probably laugh.

She would definitely laugh at seeing her foolish family members and the old ones panic.

”You all deserve to die!” She might even say such a thing.

He could imagine her expression and smile while saying such a thing.

'Haha, you were right, Sayaka.

'Actually, you were always right to begin with.

'All of us deserve what we get. All of us should have died long ago.

'Yet, us who deserve to die have lived until now, while you left us so early when you didn't deserve to die.

'It's probably impossible for me to go to the same place as you. Even so, I still want to meet you one last time, if it's still possible.'

...

At the Tendo Family.

”Activate it.”

”…Family Head, what do you mean?”

”Immediately activate the Susanoo plan. Soul Society has already noticed what we're doing. There won't be a chance anymore unless we activate it immediately.”

”Soul Society… But, even if they've noticed, we should be able to stall them for a while…”

”Impossible. They'll definitely attack us directly without giving us an opportunity to stall for time.”

”…”

”What? Are you afraid now that things have come to this?”

”No… I just feel like this is too much of a rush, that we should still make some adjustments…”

”There's no more time! Activate it immediately. Otherwise, I'll kill you right here and now!!” Sougo Tendo's expression was incredibly icy. It seemed as if the killing intent he was emanating was a physical substance. ”Ten years ago, I wanted to personally kill you right there and then, slowly torturing to death! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do so. If you gave me such a chance right here, I would be truly grateful.”

”…You're insane.”

”I'm insane? Haha… hahahahahaha! Someone like you actually dares to claim that I'm insane!?”

There was a loud thud as blood went flying everywhere. Someone cried out while collapsing on the ground.

”You're someone who betrayed our family because you wanted to become a god! You're the insane one who caused so many people to die!! You actually dare to say that I'm insane!?”

”Cough, cough… that was… I was… cough… into temptation…”

”Shut up!!!”

”It's all because of a trash like you, a trash like you, a trash like you… Why didn't you die!! Die, you bastard!!!”

”Wargh… Please stop hitting me… Show mercy…”

”Hahahaha, now you know to feel afraid!? What happened to your courage in betraying our family!!? Show me some of that courage!!!”

”Wahh… I was… wrong… sorry… sorry… sorry…”
