"No. I won't move until we talk."
"Princess, being stubborn..."
"If you don't like it, then leave. Abandon me."
"What foolishness..."
As I've said this much, a feeling of unease wells up. Perhaps even déjà vu. Our eyes meet. She smiles.
"...You remember, right? The memories from that day, they've come back?"
"...!!"
I try to step back in response to the ominous feeling, but she stops me. She grabs my arm, and my attempt to retreat fails.
"Well then, you remember, don't you? What you did that day."
"Princess, I...!!"
"You remember, don't you? What you did to me?"
"Stop it!! I...I...!!"
I... I've discarded the facade of pretense. I'm desperately denying it. I'm trying to shake off the memories of that day.
"You remember, don't you? That day, you..."
"Stop it!!"
I forcefully brush off her grip. But it's in vain.
"Don't run away!!"
Suddenly, the pink-clad princess hugs me tightly. Her beauty against my chest, her soft touch against my abdomen. I feel the curves of her body through the drenched clothes, an almost violent sensation. Her body clinging to mine. My mind is swirling in confusion.
"Princess...!!?"
"I know!! I know, but...even though I know everything, I still want to say it!!"
I tried to pull away by touching her shoulder, but her intensity is overwhelming, and I can't do anything more. I can only look at her, who's gazing up at me.
"Wh-what is it...?"
"Please!! Please, let me say it!! Everything, everything I've been hiding from you...!!"
And then she begins to speak. A dreaded revelation for me.
"I did it, you know! I've been testing you all along!!"
"Tes...testing...?"
It's almost a scream, her voice full of emotion. Almost a cry that's hard to understand. But that word makes me stop and think. Her words leave me puzzled.
"Yes! I did it to make you grow! I wanted you to become someone suitable for me! Haven't I given you lots of ridiculous orders? All of it was for this! I wanted you to be someone by my side! I wanted you to shine! I gave you a role I thought you could overcome!!"
"Wh-what are you talking about...!?"
Receiving such a sudden confession was shockingly overwhelming for me. Why now? I harbored doubts. But beyond that, the nature of the confession itself was unforgivable. Even if it were capricious amusement, it was still loathsome. But was this really intentional?
"Wha...? For that, for something like that...? What about you, Princess?"
"Yes, that's right!! That's exactly it!!" The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
Her response to my vague question only fuels her laughter, a strained mixture of crying and laughing.
"Don't you understand? Why have you survived till now? Why did you have help when things got dangerous? Why did I give you a powerful curse-tool? Why did I keep so many secrets from you? Yes, I've been watching you. I wanted you to be the person I desire...I've been guiding you!!"
"You're...you're joking!!"
"Wrong! I... I just wanted to save myself...!"
"Don't lie!!"
I'm silenced by her sharp retort.
"You're lying. You had the choice to abandon me that day! But you brushed that aside and with your own hands..."
"Shut up! Just shut up!? Don't say anything more!!"
It was akin to torture by now. Each of her words inflicted unbearable pain on me. What made it painful was that those words were touching a part of the truth.
"No! I'll tell you everything! I'll spill everything! I won't let you escape. Please, at least listen to everything before you decide...!!"
"Doing whatever you please...!?"
I genuinely felt a desire to kill Aoi. I even wanted to kill her. And I knew. That wasn't right.
"Please, listen! I want to give you everything, even Onitsuki's family. Even though you probably have nothing but hatred for me... if you want it, I'll give you everything from my family. I'll give you my wealth, and I'll even release the surviving members of your group. If you want revenge, I can even hand you their heads...!!"
"Is that necessary!? I don't need that!!"
"Even Onitsuki Yuusei's head!?"
"...!!?"
With Aoi's final words, I could no longer resist. She continued with tearful laughter. Finally, she had found something she truly desired and was overjoyed. She whispered like a dreaming girl.
"Please. Don't abandon me. Because I'll work hard for you... I'll do my best to fulfill your wishes, to the best of my abilities. I won't be a hindrance to you anymore..."
She pleads. She desperately pleads and implores.
"I'll be useful to you. I can even provide you with companions for your sake. I can even arrange things to protect your family. I can help you with your revenge. So, that's why..."
Repeatedly saying "that's why" like a delirium, her pupils gradually return to normal from their daze. She murmurs towards me.
"Don't abandon me..."
"...!!!?"
I'm left speechless by those words, but I can't find the words to respond. I don't know what I should say. I don't know what choice is right. My determination wavers. Desires whirl. Calculations for the ugly revenge rise.
"I... I..."
What should I do? I wanted someone to tell me. Common sense and malice clash. And I realize that the scales are gradually tipping. It's an answer I can't accept. But...
"I...!!"
In front of me, looking down at Aoi who is pitifully groveling, the memory of that dreadful day comes to my mind...
