Collapse 3: The girl who chased the fire moth

"Also? Split in half? You... Don't tell me that after you were cheated, you still split things up with others?"

In this world, do you know there is such a fool?

"Well, because she looks very hungry."

She nodded, without a trace of affectation in her expression.

"..."

For me at that time, her existence was very dazzling.

So, I didn't reach out to her.

There are no absolutely kind people in this world, and pure kindness in this world will lead to betrayal.

I, who believed in this, couldn't reach out.

but……

"That, Alicia."

They, the poor children who live in this city, held out their hands,

"We're about to share today's meal, do you want to come together?"

"..."

what……

There was no trace of nobility in the dirty little hands.

But, but...

I think, at that moment, at that place, she stood in a place that no one could reach.

I looked at my hands, which were much prettier than theirs, clean, but at the same time, ugly.

Even so, I didn't reach out.

But years later, she said this-

"Hi, long time no see, I always thought you looked familiar yesterday, sure enough! Welcome, my new team member! I am Alicia, the captain of the second team! I am so happy to meet a familiar friend."

Even so, she reaches out.

So, if, give me another chance.

This time it's my turn to reach out.

……

"........."

The papers flying all over the sky reminded Leiden Mei of the shocking words on the typewriter a few days ago.

Can……

Why did it appear again?

In the end what happened?

"This is impossible."

Su opened one eye, and he almost blurted out.

"This……"

Padufelice held the paper, not knowing what to say...

It says -

Melutina is dead.

Kevin is dead.

Papers with two different characters were floating in the air.

It was exactly the same as when Alicia disappeared before.

"asshole……"

The man who suppressed his anger emitted a flame like a volcanic eruption,

"I want the murderer to pay the price!"

"Qianjie, calm down!"

Su pulled Gracie past her and handed it to Eden,

"Turning of cause and effect!"

The figures of Su and Qianjie disappeared.

crack.

In an already divided group, it reappeared.

But maybe, it's not so absolute.

.........

"...Oh, so, you came to me to confirm?"

Mebius saw Raiden Mei, Wei Wei, and Patofelis next to him, showing indescribable expressions.

"...I thought your reaction would be more intense."

Raiden Mei said with some surprise,

"Well, after all, Melutina..."

"She is a member of Thirteen Yingjie, and she is no longer a child who needs my care."

There was no change in Mebius' expression,

"Besides, the time of that paper... No, it's nothing."

"……time?"

For a moment, Raiden Mei felt as if something flashed in his mind.

"..."

Wei Wei paused, and rolled her eyes.

"Sister Mei... woo woo woo, Sister Mei..."

Patofelice was heartbroken.

"Anyway, I don't have time to talk to you, goodbye."

Mebius curled his lips, turned his head and left, and seemed to mutter a few words in his mouth.

"Could it be... no, but if so, wouldn't she... would she really do it?"

Weiwei didn't say anything, she had an invariable smiling face, concealing her complicated heart.

……

the night before

"You? You are... No, you are not her, who are you?!"

"Please do me a favor."

"Ha, what a big tone, why should I..."

"please."

"... Tell me, what do you want?"

"Your life."

"Oh? Interesting... Is your bargaining chip enough for me to risk my life?"

"Of course, because... as you can see."

"...Ha, hahahahaha, so it is like this, you have put yourself on the gambling table long ago."

"Do everything, follow through, die in pain, fight until your body and mind are wiped out."

"Is that what you need me to do?"

"Yes."

"Hahahahahaha. Good, good. Isn't that what I do all the time?"

"……Feel sorry."

"There's no point in apologizing, tell me, after that. You, what can you do?"

"Give her one, give you one, a happy [ending]. At least, don't leave so hastily."

"Ha... not my favorite."

"Then you refuse?"

"No, I accept it. Since you want my life, then do your best...give her a perfect ending."

"...Because, is this the ending she likes?"

"Yes... So this time, I will bear with it. Don't let me down."

"Then, perhaps it can be said, please die for me."

"Ha...great speech."

"Because it might fail, do you have anything to say?"

"Failure? If you are not sure of winning, I will tear you apart now."

"Well, this can be regarded as... encouraging me in your way?"

"Give her an explanation, as for me. If there is no way, it doesn't matter."

"..."

"Tell me one last thing."

"You ask."

"Among us, are there any betrayers?"

"I swear, it never was."

"Hahaha, is that right...at least, it's not in vain."

"what?"

"I said to myself, you can go... go."

"Hey."

"what?"

"Did you ever like me?"

"what?"

"Just suddenly want to know the answer to this question."

"I don't know what that feeling means, but maybe there was. But as it stands, it doesn't mean anything."

"Yeah, it doesn't make any sense."

"what."

"Ah."

……

"Thousands of calamities, you..."

Su suddenly realized something, opened his eyes, and didn't try to stop or attack again.

"Do what you should do... I am just doing what I should do!"

A man like a flame stands in the space of paradise,
