Ah.
Yes, only such an exclamation could barely break the silence.
The building.
As if it never existed in the first place, the massive building disappeared without a trace, leaving only its foundation.
Aaaahhhhh!
And then, screams erupted amidst it all.
I only realized when I finally ca to my senses that only one person, who had just co up from the basent and was outside the range of another inexplicable phenonon, had barely survived.
What, what?! What the hell happened?! Where are where are the others? Cough!
But before he could fully grasp the situation, she sohow closed the distance and began to look down on him.
Person.
The survivor.
Facing the sole survivor of the completely vanished criminal organization, she smiled in front of him.
Hehe, yes, yes. For now, we need soone to ask.
What what are you? Dont dont co closer huh?
Blood spurted from his flailing hand.
His eyes trembled as he saw the empty space, and a dazed breath escaped his mouth.
My my hand where where did it go?
As if he couldnt feel the pain despite his hand being gone, he was just staring blankly at the empty space.
There, you see.
But she gave no quarters.
Even now, seeming unable to control her emotions, she breathed heavily and pointed her finger elsewhere.
My research, you took it, right? My research, where is it?
What what is? Aaah!
My research, my research
With each ntion of research, a limb disappeared.
Next, the side, then the shoulder
Where is my research?
And then, the mont her finger pointed at his head.
Aaah! Stop stop it! The.. the stolen stuff is in the underground, so stop now!
The survivor, left with only his chest and head, scread in terror.
Is it even appropriate to call him alive now?
With only his mouth remaining open, hes soon to be no different from the corpses in that puddle.
So, i-its in the basent?
She, looking down at the man in such a ghastly state, retracted her interest from the spot with a bitter smile on her lips.
So if I go there, its done, so youre useless now?
What what?
Splash!
As soon as her finger snapped, his head vanished.
The remaining body collapsed with a thud, and soon only silence pervaded the area.
That was the end.
The headquarters of Blood River and all its mbers
Failed to even beco a river of blood, as their na implied, completely erased from this world.
Woah.
She was the only one left in the now empty scene.
Woo Hyo-sung, right? Thats your na, Housekeeper.
Although she ntioned my na, I couldnt grasp the reality of the situation.
Even as I felt my heart beating and the rain from the sky drenching my body.
Sorry, Im not good at rembering peoples nas All these guys here looked like bugs to .
Bugs
Compared to the woman in front of , I was nothing but a bug.
There was only one difference between and the still-twitching corpses.
Whether I was rembered by her or not.
Hehehehe. Strange, isnt it? That the na of the Housekeeper sticks in my mory like this
Just that one difference.
It felt so incredibly surreal to that this one difference could decide life or death in this tragedy that she committed so nonchalantly.
Yeah. Now that its all over lets just take what we need and go back.
I couldnt even process the idea of going back
Right, going back, do I even have such a place to return to?
Stronger than , countless others died of a phenonon I couldnt comprehend; was I really allowed to live alone in this place?
Why are you shaking so much?
It was sothing so indescribable.
Perhaps the emotion known as fear was dominating , and a realization ca through the voice that reached my ears.
I regained my composure not long after that.
Yes, yes?
Your body, its trembling.
Ah, thats. That
Her finger pointed to my hand, and I gripped it with the other, and realized that my hand was still there.
Yes, it hadnt disappeared yet. Not yet.
But it might soon.
If I upset her.
I-its because the weather is cold Hahaha. And its raining too, so thats why.
So, I tried to maintain composure, pretending to act like before.
I had to do that to survive.
Being just a human, to survive in front of a woman who could cause phenona that even those called heroes might not handle, I had to cater to her whims.
S-so then. W-we should go back now. Yes. Maybe drink so hot tea t-to cool down the body
I scared you, dont I?
She whispered to in a low voice, facing .
As if she were unraveling my true feelings that I tried to hide.
Because you cant understand.
She said with half-closed eyes and a faint smile on her lips, encapsulating the emotions I felt towards her at that mont.
