"Forget my words, people will be very troublesome, big brother? ""

"Following monsters, smiling Meili!"

275. Choose, Beatrice

"Yo, good evening, ""

"The one who pushed the door and walked in was an idiot saying hello."

"This idiot is covered in blood, and it's hard to tell whether it's his own blood or the blood of the monster. The sword in his hand is about to be blunted in just one night because of the large number of monsters killed."

"This idiot's hands are bulging and shaking uncontrollably. It's obviously sore to the point of overload. It should be painful enough to scream."

"In order to protect himself and that green-clothed idiot in the war against monsters, this idiot's door is on the verge of collapse because of using the veil too many times, and the mana in his body is almost exhausted, and he can't move at all. point."

"This idiot's feet are limping, this idiot's head is bleeding, this idiot's breathing is short and very difficult, and I'm afraid he is about to become dizzy due to the excessive bleeding, and he can't even see clearly what is in front of him."

"The fool who came in, he smiled, and said in stupid tenderness."

"Let's talk, Beatrice. ""

"...Talk, talk? ""

"Betty stared at this idiot in surprise, she gritted her teeth, and cursed angrily: "Idiot, you are dying—do you really want to die that much?To return it at such a time, Betty will give it to you right away—""

""Let's talk about 'that person'. ""

""... ""

"Ah, bad."

"Betty thought. After hearing this sentence, she couldn't move her whole body. For some reason, a sense of sadness surged in her heart. Although she felt relieved, after hearing this sentence, she would definitely not be able to treat this idiot. She I can only concentrate on staring at this idiot, as he wishes..."

""You...are, 'that person'—is that you, isn't it? ""

"Say it in a voice that I can't even listen to, it's so stupid, it's so bad, it seems to be full of hope, it's almost crying."

"400 years of loneliness, 400 years of responsibility, 400 years of struggle, 400 years of numbness, and 400 years of depravity, are you going to get the reward that can save your soul?"

"Betty thought so. She was holding the book of wisdom given by her mother on her lap. As long as she opened a page at random, as long as she saw the name Hiki Valley Hachiman written on it, then she would have no scruples, no need I'm scared."

"However, I dare not open it. I am afraid that it will be like every time in 400 years, every time, a blank page. So, don't open it, don't look at it, even if you are deceived, if it is this idiot If so, then you can—”

""I'm not 'the one,' Beatrice. ""

""...? ""

"The tears of joy stopped suddenly, Betty tilted her head slightly, looking at the fool in front of her, unable to understand what he was talking about."

"Then, the body reacted faster than the soul, filled with despair, numbness and anger, raised his hand, and immediately wanted to—"

"Go ahead, Beatrice. The idiot continued, "With my current body, if there is a little extra injury, it is not uncommon for me to die immediately.So, go ahead, Beatrice. ""

"What the hell is this idiot talking about?"

""You are not 'that person', Betty, why should Betty let you...""

"Rebuked angrily, but the raised hand froze, unable to do anything. Is it a premeditation to damage my body like this?"

""If you don't want me to die, if you have expectations for me, if you still yearn for freedom, then let me, who is not 'that person', stand here and talk to you without shame, Beati Silk. ""

"I don't want to hear it."

"Betty lowered her head and frantically opened the book of wisdom, expecting this to be a hoax, expecting it to be a lie, expecting his judgment to be wrong, how could this idiot not be 'the one'?"

"In that case, there is no way to cover your ears. And then, the voice of an idiot came into my ears."

""Time is urgent... I should probably make a long story short, but, I want to start from the beginning. If I don't, I'm afraid I won't be able to make you understand what I mean, so please listen carefully, Beatrice. ""

"The idiot seemed to be panting violently because the wound was too painful, and he took a deep breath."

""I came to you again and again and entered this forbidden library because I coveted the knowledge here, and because I wanted to ask you difficult questions... I have made friends with you with the goal of utilitarianism, and I don't regret it. ""

""I heard from Roswaal that in the past 400 years, there have been many people who coveted these forbidden books like me and came to you. You should have seen enough of these bastards. The person in your dreams should have come for you. Not because of these interests - but I have always believed that people and human feelings are artifacts. ""

""The real thing exists, but it is difficult to appear, so it is not surprising that the feelings of relying on fake things will be cut off at any time.However, if it is a relationship linked by interests, it can almost be called unbreakable. If I can extract benefits from you, I will definitely not hate you, will not alienate you, and will stay close to you. ""

""In that case, maybe I can build a stable relationship with you, that's what I thought during the month or so in the mansion. ""

"What are you talking about?"

"For mother's banned books, for those knowledge, isn't this a matter of course? As early as 400 years ago, Betty knew at that time that Betty's weight could not be compared with those, even in the eyes of her mother Also, otherwise she wouldn't have kept Betty chained to a place like this for 400 years, so..."

""so. ""

"The idiot who interrupts other people's miserable laughter without authorization, I hate this kind of idiot the most, shut up!"

""I will not be 'that person' in your mind, I am definitely not that perfect, I am not 'that person', not because my name is not in Echidna's book, but I am not worthy of your heart The image of 'that person', Beatrice. ""

"But, Beatrice. ""

"Now, right here, make a choice, Beatrice. ""

""…choose? ""

"Yes, choose. "The idiot smiled and nodded slightly. He held a sword in one hand as a crutch, and suddenly raised the other hand and stretched it out."

""Hikigaya Hachiman is not 'that person', but Hikigaya Hachiman is here, here at this moment, so choose. ""

""You are going to spend another countless 400 years waiting for 'that person', or, hold my hand, and then. ""

""Give up 'that person', give up the contract with Echidna, give up your responsibilities, give up your persistence, give up your fantasy, choose me, become my elf, sign a contract with me, and walk out with me . ""

"Choose, Beatrice. ""

276. I Choose You, Beatrice·Buy and Sell

""…you. ""

"Angry thoughts occupy my whole body, trembling with anger, wishing that the blunt fool in front of me would die immediately."

""What qualifications do you have to compare with your mother, what qualifications do you have to compare with 'that person', what qualifications do you have to make Betty give up 400 years of responsibility-you, are you crazy, Hiki Valley Hachiman?Why do you compare your own weight with these! ? ""

"Of course I can't compare to these. ""

"The fool who seemed more or less self-aware shook his head. Fine, that's fine, Betty thought. No insulting the mother, no insulting 'the man', no vetoing 400 years of effort, that way Betty wouldn't have to Reviled him, blamed him, hated him."

"Of course it's good, Betty thought. But why cry, why be disappointed, isn't it good?"

"So, let me tell you. ""

""--tell me? ""

"My low heart beats suddenly."

""Yes, tell you. ’ The idiot’s voice was sonorous, and he said, ‘Beatrice, you’re smart and cute, and you’re getting close to Komachi.The power is very strong, even a hundred of them are not your opponent.A person can survive well, living for 400 years is the biggest proof.Although it always seems very naive, but being able to live alone for 400 years shows that your ambition is definitely the best, because I am not sure whether I can persist for 400 years or what I am now. ""

""That kind of talk... Now that things are going on, what is the use of that kind of talk! ""

"Hearing her heart-piercing cry, the praising idiot paused, but his smile was still affectionate and he was not frightened."

""Useful, of course useful...you are so powerful, you can do things that I can't do, many, many, so, I have a need for you, so I need you. ""

"Betty looked at him dully, her lips were trembling, as if she realized something."

""Now, I am willing to believe in the existence of the real thing, and I believe that relying on pure feelings can also maintain a good relationship. However, in order to hold your hand, in addition to feelings, I also want to make a profit transaction with you, Bicui Silk. ""

""You give your knowledge, your strength, everything you have to help me, and then, in exchange, I'll take your hand, Beatrice. ""

"Betty's eyes widened, "That kind of statement... contradicts itself, and I can't understand it at all... What are you talking about?" ""

"" Not contradictory at all. ""

"The idiot said brazenly: "You are strong, smart and cute, you can survive alone, and you are determined and mature... But ah, you need me, Beatrice.You need to hold my hand, you need me by your side, you need me close to you. ""

""You need me, so, in exchange for holding my hand, do everything you can to help me, and transfer all your feelings for 'the man', Echidna, and 400 years of duty to mine body. ""

"This eloquent and eloquent idiot seems to be talking about a matter of course, but in these words, Betty can't find any benefits that she can reap."

""wrong! Betty stared at him with hatred, "What Betty needs is 'that person', you are not 'that person'!" ""

"The boastful fool retorted firmly: "You are cute, but you are lonely; you are smart, but you are lonely; you are powerful, but you are lonely; you can survive well, but you are lonely; you are mature." Firm, but you are lonely. ""

"He leaned on a sharp sword, and slowly, accompanied by pain, he moved closer to Betty."

""400 years of waiting, 400 years of passing away, 400 years of despair, hatred of mother, envy of Parker, numbness to waiting, again and again, again and again. ""

""You are very lonely, so lonely that you can't hold it anymore, you are so lonely that you are not 'that person', you are so lonely that you want to escape, you want to cry and want to commit suicide, you are so lonely that you want someone to hold your hand , to forcefully drag you out, to free you from your mother, your responsibilities, and your forbidden library. ""

""You are like this, you need me so desperately, you need Hikigu Hachiman, Beatrice! ""

""Shut up! Betty trembled all over, "A mere human, what do you know about Betty!" ""

""I know!I know it all!I know better than you do what Beatrice needs! ""

"Her cries were overshadowed by louder voices, and she moved in front of her. The idiot's eyes, his eyes made Betty freeze and feel cold."

"That is the most familiar look, the most familiar look... It is the numbness of staying in the forbidden library day after day, the despair accumulated over and over again, and the loneliness after hating my mother in the middle of the night."

""That, that is..." She trembled, hesitating, unbelievable."

""That's right, this is Beatrice's eyes, Beatrice's eyes, the feelings that belong to Beatrice, and the memory of Beatrice... I know, I know everything. ""

""how is this possible--""

""Maybe it's impossible, but I am standing in front of you now, Beatrice. ""

"Hikigaya Hachiman, who made Betty feel chills, slowly squatted down. He looked at the stunned Betty, and every word struck Betty's heart, "Abandon your mother, abandon your responsibilities, and abandon your waiting.You need me, Beatrice needs Hikigu Hachiman. ""

"The overwhelmed Betty choked up, "But... you're not 'the one'...""

""If you say 'that person' again, I will regard you as choosing 'that person', and I will turn around and leave now, leaving you lonely for countless 400 years. This is your own choice. ""

"Betty murmured, she shed tears and bit her lower lip, "—why, such a thing will happen...You obviously, obviously not...""

""In your eyes, I am a very gentle person, I will not do this kind of thing, have I changed? ...Of course, Beatrice.With so-called tenderness, how could it be possible to cut off your 400-year consciousness! ""

""Mother, she... Mother..." Betty hugged the book tightly, tears streaming down her face, wandering in pain."

"Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head slightly, "Choose, choose 'that person' and your mother and 400 years of persistence, or choose me—but, this is a lie, Beatrice. ""

""…lie? ""

""Yes, lie, because I never intended to give you the power to choose. ""

"With a filthy hand that was stained with blood, a hand that should have no strength at all, Hikigaya Hachiman pulled the book of wisdom out of the panicked Betty's arms."

"Under Betty's panicked gaze, the sharp sword swung violently."

"The blank book that bound her for 400 years was torn apart by the slash of the sharp blade, and scattered all over the ground."

""The previous statement was just to sell yourself and prepare you mentally. No matter what you want to choose, I believe that you need me and you can only choose me.Or, it doesn’t matter which one you choose, because I will definitely choose you—""

"It's hard buying and selling, Beatrice! ""

277. The Hiki Valley Hachiman They Created

"Wait, strong buying and strong selling? This is—"

In the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, Anastasia opened her eyes wide, her heart was beating violently, and she stood up with a jerk, extremely surprised.

"Watching the 400-year-old bondage scattered all over the sky, Betty was dumbfounded, and she murmured: "Betty's, Betty's...""

""The book no longer exists. Even if 'that person' will come in the future, you will not know who is 'that person'. Now, you can only choose me, and you can only be chosen by me, Bicui Silk. ""

"Hikigaya Hachiman's voice dragged her out of endless sorrow. Betty gritted her teeth. She grabbed the collar of this indifferent man. The thoughts that had been calm for 400 years were finally awakened. Anger filled her heart, forcing her to cry out. A question that expresses anger and sorrow."

""How dare you... why, why do you dare... Betty's, everything her mother gave, Betty's 400 years of persistence, if you just give up, what is the meaning of Betty's 400 years? ...Answer me, Hikigaya Hachiman! ? ""

""The meaning is that you have persisted until now, you have waited for me, you have waited for me who dragged you out, Beatrice. ""

"Betty smiled miserably. She burst into tears of sarcasm, loosened her collar, pointed at this extremely confident man, and said with a wry smile, "How can you compare to your mother? You can't compare to those. No matter how many times you have to say it! Okay, you can't compare to your mother, you can't compare to 'that person', even if you can understand Betty's 400 years of loneliness, but you destroyed her mother's relics, Betty, Betty must be...""

"Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes are still confident, he interrupted these taunts, "Then, let me ask you. ""

""…ask me? ""

"Yes, I ask you. "Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes were burning with a flame that Betty couldn't understand, "You hate me, Beatrice?" ""

"Betty didn't answer, he wasn't disappointed, after a short pause, he continued to ask: "Now you, are you willing to desire to be free, unshackled, and truly live freely? ""

"Betty still didn't answer, he asked further: "Are you satisfied with the status quo, do you want to move forward, do you want to be happy? ""
