Chapter 118.1
[Part 1/5]
The lingering 'remnant' of Shishimai Asami's soul awoke when Tamaki was trapped by vines.
"..."
Her thoughts were vague, her body heavy but strangely light. A quick glance at her lower body revealed the reason. Despite the severe and fatal wounds, she felt no pain, which made her realize she was no longer alive. She couldn't help but sneer...
"...Don't mess with me."
She muttered quietly, but her feelings were intense. With no interference in her mind, she felt a surge of hatred, anger, frustration, regret, and... sadness.
"...Is this how it ends? I won't let it...!!"
She gritted her teeth, trembling with humiliation, and her thirst for revenge became her guide. And so, she crawled out.
Slowly but surely, she weakened her presence and dragged her body with both hands, accepting her miserable state, heading toward the hibachi. It served as a perfect distraction since the hibachi was engrossed with the servant.
Carefully, so carefully, the servant launched something with a catapult. The hibachi was hit directly, exploding, shattering, and the ashes scattered. Though not a fatal blow, she found the pulsating entity within the white ashes. It was clad in flames like a will-o'-the-wisp.
"Ha, this works perfectly...!!"
Her lips curled upwards. She advanced, closing in, crawling. Then, without hesitation, she grabbed the burning core, not caring about the burns on her hands.
"Ah..."
"Hmm?"
Muttering overlapped. Someone's hand stopped above Shishimai's hand holding the core. She shifted her gaze along the arm, which was swollen and painful from the burns. In her sight, she found the well-mannered sheltered girl who looked at her in astonishment.
"Um, um, Shishimai-san?"
"...No, be more cautious. Fool."
Facing the bewildered girl, Shishimai declared with a wry smile. Dealing with a traitor like her, she was far too defenseless. The girl's future genuinely worried her.
"Yes, um... no, not that, um...!?"
Without thinking, Tamaki responded, but the servant's scream immediately afterward makes her turn around involuntarily. Her face turned pale. Shishimai stopped her from screaming and focused on the dagger in her hand.
"You have a good weapon there. More reliable than my nails. Can you lend me a hand?"
In response to Shishimai's request, the girl in front of her nodded immediately, which once again left Shishimai exasperated...
...
...
'If she's capable, she'll find a way herself. Young lady, you don't need to worry. ...Besides, it seems she's already made up her mind.'
The hummingbird casually dismissed his granddaughter's safety and shifted his gaze to the collapsed Shishimai. Following his gaze, Tamaki also looked at Shishimai and saw her shrugging her shoulders.
"...I'm just like this room now. A corpse, only moving with the remaining spiritual and youkai power. It won't last long."
"Shishimai-san..."
Shocked by what Shishimai implied, Tamaki could only murmur her name like incoherent babbling. Shishimai was further exasperated by her expression.
"It's only natural for the living to take precedence over the dead. Besides, there's no way this bear can carry three people, right? ...Thank you for freeing me from this d*mn place. Now, go quickly."
"...Thank you too for saving me."
'Go, Genbu. Run quickly.'
In response to Shishimai's gratitude, Tamaki conveyed her thanks with even deeper emotions, almost on the verge of tears. Seeing this, the hummingbird urged the bear impatiently. The bear youkai grunted and compensated for the wasted time, leaving the scene at full speed...
'...Still, it's an unusual thing to do, isn't it? I thought you would say something like a keepsake or a last wish.'
With the bear leading the way, the hummingbird remained, speaking to Shishimai Asami's "corpse" through its emotionless artificial eyes. Shishimai also smiled slightly at the slightly scornful remark.
"Isn't it absurd for the dead to leave keepsakes or last wishes? ...I'm the type to overthink things needlessly, you know."
Therefore, Shishimai decided not to curse her. Those who are bound and dragged by the dead have no bright future. Shishimai made that decision because she genuinely appreciated Tamaki's help.
Of course, in her heart, there were many lingering regrets... but it was wrong to involve others in her self-made predicament.
"You should go too, right? She'll need someone to give advice. Alone, she'll be eaten in no time."
'...I have my own reasons too. I'll do my best to help her get out of here.'
In response to Shishimai's bravado, the hummingbird bowed after a moment of silence and answered. Then, it took flight. To chase after Tamaki and the others who had left...
"That's good..."
With a mixture of disdain and gratitude in response to the hummingbird's reply, Shishimai muttered to herself. She gazed vaguely at the collapsing world as if lost in thought, closing her eyes to reminisce about something.
Then, after a while, she glanced in the direction Tamaki and the others had gone. Not a single soul remained there. She felt relief at that fact, but her heart was filled with loneliness.
"Hahaha... In the end, I'm alone..."
In the now empty room, in the crumbling world, Shishimai Asami spoke self-deprecatingly.
She genuinely thought that this was a fitting end for herself.
