Vol 1 Chapter 6 (2/2)

Tens of vicious-looking yakuza shonens bowed to the young girl alked down of the car with a plushi+e in her hands, and the scene was dyed orange by the setting sun At this instant, I saw a supernatural scene that isn’t strange even if the world ended

“Aniki, thanks for your hard work too”

“I’ve heard, aniki gambled with his life to find this place”

“As expected of aniki”

Rocky and Pole surrounded aze and shookas well

The wolf donning a criumi and came closer to us

“Is it okay for you to go out……”

Yondai with a worried look on his face

“Of course it’s not okay, can’t you see after seeing this?”

Using the plushi+e to cover over half of her face, Alice was still deterh her hands were trehtly

“Why are you deliberately co out? It’s the sas are co to an end”

“That’s because I’antly I leaned on an ar you my assumptions, I still have to fill my hands full of blood in the end If I didn’t do so, I would only come into contact with the world of the dead forever”

Alice said with a pained voice, her lips turning purple I didn’t understand what she was saying Yondaime placed his hand on his forehead and shaked his head

“We’ve surrounded them, but not even one person cao that it makes people feel uncomfortable”

Yondai beside the parking lot

“Have you entered it?”

“Didn’t you say that I can’t enter? We’ve confirmed that there’s at least six people in there Hey! So we can attack right now, right? You should remember that we’ve waited for a few hours already”

“No, Toshi+ is our partner”

“Do you think I would specially forgive anyone?”

“I don’t think so, so……” Alice hid behind Tetsu-senpai “So Tetsu will accept Judgment in place of Toshi+”

A shocked expression appeared on Tetsu-senpai’s face He heaved a sigh after his body stiffened for awhile

“Saying soot a plan’…… So that’s how it is”

Like they’ve confirhed too

The said Judght

“Oioioioi! Sou-san and Tetsu-san are having a fight to the finish!+”

“How’s the results right?”

“Forty three wins, forty nine losses, and three draws”

“Then isn’t the result clear already?”

“Okay, I’ll bet five thousand on Sou-san”

“I’ll bet ten thousand on Tetsu-san!” “You traitor!” “There’s no choice, how could the bet continue if I don’t do that?” “If that’s the case, toughen up a bit, Tetsu-san”

The black shi+rted men suddenly started a bet

“Oi! You guys—” Yondaime hurriedly tried to stop them, but it was too late They’ve already decided on the dealer, and started to bet Yondai ring at the center of the parking lot Alice sneakily walked away from Tetsu-senpai’s back, and only senpai and Yondaime were left in the centre to face each other

“Oh, forget it This type of idiotic end is just our style”

Senpai laughed wryly while tying bandages on his fists

With a bitter face, Yondai to say, took of his jacket and threw it behind him

“Sou-san, please use your secret technique!” “Tetsu-san, I’ my ten thousand to you!”

The lackey’s rough cheering interlaced together I was dumbfounded for a moment because of the idiotic end Alice pulled the hem of my jacket

“Naru in, so don’t space out Major, hurry up and open the lock”

“Ehhh? But Tetsu-senpai is stil……”

“Do you even have to ask? That’s just a diversion If you really wait until Yondaioes in, he won’t hear anyone’s words”

Major was already taking out the tools for opening the lock Yondaime’s voice echoed over So we’ve still been noticed huh?

“Oi! Alice! You letin by yourself?”

Alice slowly turned over and pointed at Yondaime

“Oh? You’re not giving up on the God’s Judgment that has already started, are you?”

“But……”

Tetsu-senpai, who had already prepared his battle stance, s his distance with Yondaily raise his fists

“Oi! You guys go too!” Yondai his eyes on Tetsu-senpai

“…… Eh? No no no, this match really can’t be missed”

“We’ll regret it forever if we missed it”

“My ten thousand”

“Shut up! You idiots hurry up and go! If only they went in, what if so happens?”

At the instant when the steel door was pried open, a strange smell rushed over and stimulated our senses— it was the s, bitter and fresh s the ten other people ent into the building, only I was fa in my mouth As soon as we entered,a craed sofas piled at a corner, as if it was an abandoned hospital

“Alice, why don’t you just wait in the car?”

Hiro said in a low murmur Alice pressed her bear forcefully ontoon to me I turned my head over, and I could see that she looked even more terrible than just now

“Do you wantin contact with this world? Don’t joke with me”

The black shi+rted men passed by us an ran to the stairs

“Four of you search the first floor

“Can be just beat them up if we see anyone?”

“You’re being too aggressive!”

Footsteps echoed in the building

I looked atcut open both physically andwill never disappear now Do I have to continue to live, being i unable to use my own hand to touch any object

The basee, cubical space There were facilities for factories used fordown the stairs, the appearance of the factory could be seen froed side by side with its back to the walls were like large fridges, sandbags were carelessly piled up at a corner, the table was full of test tubes, and the flashi+ng fluorescent light lit up the roo into the sink from the open tap The air of the basement was filled with a familiar smell Hiro, Major and the black shi+rted men frowned, used their sleeves to cover their noses, and walked down the stairs

Black sofas that had their legs cut off were arranged in a line as a replaceether on it

It was like an elephant had a ra down on the floor Aon a slanted rack, tiredly leaning his back against the bare celass were scattered around his feet

“Heh……”

The man slowly raised his head, looked atsmile He was very much different from my memory of his appearance, and also the photos that Alice found His hair so long that it touched his collar, his face was sunken, while his widened eyes behind his glasses looked like they almost dropped out

But I immediately knew that he was Hakamizaka shi+rou

“What a delicate angel Are you Alice?”

Haka

“I’ve heard about you froht that you would find us so quickly, it’s so delightful”

Hiro pushed me away and went closer to Hakamizaka to ask: “Hey! Where’s Toshi+?”

“Probably somewhere over there! He took quite a lot too, I’m not sure if he’s alive or dead Hmph, of course, we, ourselves, should enjoy our last stocks”

A chill came over my back

This guy is hopeless

All of the things in this room has already died

Hiro and two back shi+rted men walked past the fallen racks and tables, and walked towards the roo nearby

“Toshi+! Hey! Toshi+! Get a hold of yourself! Can you puke them out? Hurry up and throw up!”

Hiro said in a pained voice

“Oi! Get some water here”

It was the flustered footsteps of the black shi+rted hed through his nose

Alice tightly held my arms

“Hakamizaka shi+rou, do you think that your experiment has succeeded?”

Facing Alice’s questions, Hakamizaka raised his eyebrow

“Of course it’s a success, doesn’t it seem like a success to you? Haven’t everyone seen the real world? An in reality, soel Fix used its oer to for system cycle, could other medicine do this? Only I did it! Thus, my experiment is a success! I’ve succeeded!”

The uncohter that was like the sounds of soain I don’t want to hear him talk, and don’t want to even hear his voice anyone Anyone, just hurry up and take him away

But Alice asked again

“…… Do you think Ayaka is a successful case too?”

“Ayaka?”

“Toshi+’s sister”

Hakamizaka’s eyes lost its focus

“Ahhh…… That couldn’t be helped She realized the truth of the flowers, and said that she was going to call the police, so I could only force her to take the pills Now…… She fell into a coht?”

“You’ve forced her to take it?” Major ju Hakamizaka’s collar

` “So what? Not taking it is a sin”

Hakaarbled

“Alice, can I try the interrogation methods of the People’s Liberation Army on him?”

“Major, stop that Don’t dirty your knife with his flesh and blood”

I subconsciously held Alice’s hand tightly

It’s a si, there’s no mystery

Ayaka was just unable to take the hallucinations brought by the drug any

It’s that simple

The Fix a the flowers that were used as the rawAyaka to be engulfed by her own guilt

Hakamizaka’s voice echoed in my empty mind

“I feel sorry for her too, as I didn’t mean to kill her at first”

“And you’re saying you didn’t mean to kill here?” Major interrupted with a livid voice Even so, Hakamizaka continued to mutter

“shi+nozaki was a good girl She thought that I’m a specialist of poppy flowers, and chatted happily with ive her ave her flowers……”

“Flowers?”

Alice took half a step out from my back

“Ayaka said that she wanted flowers?”

“That’s right She said that she needed a lot of the same flower, so from the time she started to plant, she’ve probably planted about a thousand or so?”

“What flower is it?”

“It’s a weed called long-headed poppy, quite a nice flower! She had the same interest as me It’s a pity that she went to hell Occasionally, there would be people who el as a reaper, those people are not qualified to pass through the radiant door”

Hakalared at me

“…… You’re the saht? Haha, it’s as I’ve said It’s such a pity, but unlike you, I’ll be taken to the heavens!”

His words chilled me to the marrows

As Hakaret

I couldn’t reach the light, and couldn’t catch the angel’s hand I have already lost it, and I will never have the chance ever again What took its place is an e to my hands

“You…… What do you want to do?”

I really don’t need to ask, but my mouth acted without peranism

“Having seen it with your own eyes, shouldn’t you already understand? Get it? There’s a door at the other side of the dazzling ind, it’s a heavy door any, and is always open for about two centimeters, and you could see the other side from there”

Hakah-pitched

“It’s nighttiht It is like Greece froo The time forms a cycle, and flows eternally The moon shi+nes on the bricks that were corroded andside by side on the pure white beach I’ve tried to put ed back here every time I couldn’t reach it, as it couldn’t be reached without a pile of corpses below me I’ll definitely be able to this time, this, time, definitely……”

I wanted to retort, but a fluffy thing was stuffed intothe plushi+e to ap between the fallen racks, reached the place where Hakamizaka was at and stared at his face

“Can you see me? Who do I look like?”

“…… Angel……”

“That’s right, I’ve seen God’s Notepad I saw the namelist that consists of a hundred and forty thousand and four thousand people, but I didn’t see your name on in”

“…… Liar!”

“God did not summon you to his country, and didn’t even record your name Just pass your last moments in this warm darkness! That is the eternal punishment that you deserve”

“LIAR! LI- AR!”

Hakaed to the other side, his starkly pale Adam’s apple was visible in the darkness

In the silence that was mixed with noise, Alice turned her head over Her black dress fused with the darkness, and only her white face was faintly visible behind her veil

“…… What did you say to him?” Major said with a tiny voice that was al

“I didn’t say anything, because he ry, so I just said so addict How could we let these people off the hook?”

Alice returned to my side, and snatched away her doll froain, and tightly held the sleeve of my shi+rt

“Let’s go! Narus have ended now”

A low murmur came from behind me

“All the clues have lined up in a straight line, there’s nothing left to see here Just let Hirasaka-gumi handle the rest My work is done, and there’s no rooht now”

At the center of the parking lot that was dyed purple due to the setting sun, Yondaime and Tetsu-senpai sat face to face with their foreheads and fists close together I really have no idea what they’re doing The two probably had a huge fight, huh? A few red scratches could be seen on their face, and their clothes were filthy The bodyguards Rocky and Pole went closer to look, as if they orried When we had a closer look, we finally realized that they were finger wrestling

“You guys are still at it……”

Alice said with a surprised tone

“You’re the one who told us to fight!”

“I will not give up so easily! You hit me about three punches more!”

Sounds of footsteps entered the parking lot, interrupting Yondaime and Tetsu-senpai’s extended match Yondaime showed us a ferocious expression, patted away the sand on his knees and stood up

Rocky asked: “So- Sou-san isn’t going to continue, what about the bet?” and was immediately beaten up by Yondaime! “Shut up!”

Alu had came back Major and Hiro were there, and even Toshi+, as leaning on Hiro’s elboas present

Yondaime asked: “…… So?”

“There’s eight people in total There weren’t anyone above the second floor, but al The only person who could talk is this guy” One of the black shi+rted men pointed at Toshi+ with his chin

“Have you called the ambulance yet?”

“Understood!”

Yondaiht, surprised: So he really will save people?

One of the lackeys said quietly toaddicts who lost consciousness We’ll have to wait till they’re out of the hospital to beat them up” What a polite yakuza shonen

“Then what about Toshi+? Stop your ht”

Yondairily at Hiro Hiro shut his mouth, and slowly placed Toshi+’s body onto the asphalt road

Toshi+ was crying

His eyes seelasses were crooked, face swollen, saliva and tears flowing to his chin, and he wasto himself

Do you have any right to cry? It was as though a viscous, cold ma-like liquid flowed into my empty body

“Why…… Why did you save me? Just leave me alone……”

I could hear Toshi+’s s Didn’t you ask us to save you yourself? Are you joking?

Yondailared at Alice, as behind me

“ ‘Your fists do not exist just to punch these pitiful people’, don’t try to tell less stuff like this”

“I won’t say thenorance, but I still hate it But Yondaie really that important to you? Would your world collapse if you don’t take an eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth?”

“Of course” Yondaime immediately answered: “Don’t ask questions that you already know the answer for, there’s nothing e”

“That’s right! This is really a dumb question”

Alice looked as if she was s

“But Yondaiet what I mean?”

A shocked expression suddenly appeared on Yondaier In the end, he heaved a sigh and cal:

“Ah— Oh— So that’s how it is daet it! I’ll just get back”

Finally, the wolf gazed at me

Putting on his jacket again, Yondaime turned his back to us

“Gardening Club kid, there’s no tis before the ambulance is here”

His words were like a signal, Tetsu-senpai and the black shi+rted men, everyone kept their distance from me Me? Why me?

“Narumi!”

Alice, who stuck to my back, muttered

“Just ask if you have anything to ask hi to say This is your request, so you should end things”

And then the temperature of her body left my side

The only people in the center of the circle wereToshi+l

So I want to ask?

Ayaka… Did she have any last words?

Do I really want to know these kind of things? Don’t I already know the answer? She was blinded by the drug, so it’s iht, if she had thought about me—

She shouldn’t just leave without saying anything

“Oi, Naruht? I’ve just puked them all out…… Blast……”

Toshi+’s unpleasant s were like bubbles that popped out fro on the surface ofme to become nauseous

“I can’t go on any more anyways……Just let me die Trash like me- like me- is- is already…”

I don’t have anything to ask, or anything I want to know Even so, even so……

“…… stand up!”

My voice was garbled It’s just a sih my windpipe Toshi+ looked at me as if he was about to melt

“I’ you to stand up”

Toshi+ was lying down unrabbed the back of his collar, and forcefully ht that it’s scary

“Narues?”

Tetsu-senpai said behind me I turned over and shook my head

After that, I faced Toshi+ again, took half a step back, twisted my hips and punched

At the instant when the punch landed on Toshi+’s face, the bones ofpain echoed in my skull Toshi+ spitted out saliva that wasdown at the foot of theWhen you hit someone, you would feel pain yourself I must use ain

“Don’t sleep! Stand up!”

I caught hold of Toshi+’s wrists, and stepped on his foot,him stand up My left fist punched at his abdo punched He flew backwards, and I landed a right punch on his chin Severe pain spread through ers were dirty because of Toshi+’s blood, ht have fractured too Because ofin pain That is a real pain that belongs to my real world

Someone placed his hand on my shoulder I only realized that the unpleasant sound, was the sound ofToshi+ was lying down on the asphalt road, weeping while tre

“Naruh”

Hiro’s gentle voice clearly rang on my back

Tetsu-senpai and Major squatted down and carried Toshi+

Just like that,dream

After waking up,other people couldn’t fill it up

The siren of an ambulance could be heard in a distance I looked doards, unfeeling, ers could only open halfway Those are my hands,that I have to continue to drag on and continue to go forward— myself
