"No, no, no, how can it be Alehandro?" I ask totally confused, how did he co up with this hypothesis out of nowhere? This doesn't make any sense to .
"Yes, Miss Shizune, think about it, you are a saint and were chosen to cleanse the corruption of the church," he speaks with conviction as if this is a certainty.
'...Isn't it better this way? Probably the person of the prophecy is Alehandro, but if I have the credits, I can rule the church so the Yandere won't be able to do anything...but...what happens after?' I ponder.
'If I survive...what happens?...will I die of old age and then go to another world again?...even if I survive...can't I escape this curse?'
"Miss Shizune, why do you have that look on your face?" Alehandro asks, sowhat surprised.
'I let my feelings show too much...'
"N-No, it's nothing, Alehandro...I think maybe you're right...th-then let's clean up the corruption of the church together?" I ask without much enthusiasm.
I just realized that it doesn't matter if I survive for a few years if in the end I'll go to another world just to take risks again.
'I need to end this curse...that's it, maybe soone can break this curse...' it seems like a goal to pursue, since I can't just survive.
So, in addition to surviving, I need to find sothing or soone who can break this curse before I go through sothing terribly bad.
In the first world, I was drugged and killed by a chainsaw, nothing implies that in other worlds it can't be even worse.
"Alehandro...could you promise to protect ?" I ask Alehandro with a pitiful look.
"Yes, Miss Shizune, I promise," he says with a smile.
"No...not like that, Alehandro...I want you to swear in the na of the goddess Solaris...promise that you will protect and that under no circumstances will you let die," Alehandro is very religious, I'll use that to make him promise.
"..." Alehandro kneels down and joins his hands in a prayer gesture while closing his eyes.
"I, Alehandro Calidos, swear in the na of the goddess Solaris that I will protect the life of the saint Shizune Accursed, even if it costs my life, and I promise that I will cleanse the corruption of the church," he promises in the midst of this sacred oath.
"Thank you..." I thank him.
"So, how shall we proceed, Miss Shizune? I had already planned so things, but now that you're involved, I'll follow what you want," Alehandro says with full confidence in .
'I've always been good at planning since I had to manage many companies...it shouldn't be much different to plan sothing like this, right?'
"First...uhm...we should gather evidence of the corruption of the church mbers without raising suspicions, and we should also get the people on our side," I think this will work.
I don't think the pope will focus on too much, so I just need to leave all the work to Alehandro to discover while I get the support of the people.
"Alehandro, how long do you think you can get these proofs?" I ask to have a margin of maneuver, as a businessman in my past life, ti was always delivered before a project.
After all, there's no point in trying to do sothing without having an average ti.
"I think in 3 months, Miss Shizune," he says after thinking for a mont.
"Alehandro, could you get a lot of volunteer work? I will make the population support us while I beco the influential person in the revelation of the corruption of the church."
[Stop...]
"Did Alehandro say sothing?" I think I heard sothing.
"No? I'm listening in silence, Miss Shizune," Alehandro says, I decide to ignore it while I continue to explain.
"When we have the support of the population, we can reveal the corruption of the church, don't you agree?"
[Wrong...don't do it]
'Again?' I hear a very low sound, as if soone was talking to , but it's so low that I can't hear it.
'In addition to being cursed, am I now going crazy as well?...'
"Sorry for getting distracted, as I was saying, while you get the evidence we need, I'll acquire influence with the population," that way I'll get the credits and acquire the influence of the church for myself.
It may be a bit unfair, but I need that influence, I don't want to die in any way, so when I get that influence, I can use everything at my disposal to try to break my curse.
After all, just surviving doesn't help if I'm still cursed.
[No...it's not you...it's Alehandro]
I think I heard sothing else, but I ignore it, I think I'm just too nervous about all this.
"Understood, Miss Shizune, I'll do a great job," Alehandro says as I nod.
So we pass the first month, during this first month Alehandro taught several things while I volunteered for various jobs with the population, slowly gaining recognition.
Although in this first month Alehandro beca a bit too clingy for my taste, when he's not looking for information, he's near in an uncomfortable way.
He practically doesn't leave my side for anything, in addition to being overly protective, which made even more suspicious that he is the Yandere, but even with all that, nothing really gets obsessive or anything like that.
What really confuses is that I can't say for sure that he is the Yandere, but I can't rule it out either, so it's under observation.
We made good progress in this first month, so I think our plans are working.
So we move on to the second month, this second month was pretty bad, it seems the pope started paying more attention to everyone, while I noticed that Alehandro's way of acting towards changed.
If in the first month he was protective, now it's strange and went far beyond just being protective to the point where he even considered the idea of taking out of the plan to gain influence after they tried to kill again, this only got worse.
Now we're in my room while Alehandro starts another one of those speeches about how I'm too important, so I should be more careful when I volunteer to help people.
"Alehandro, please stop," I tell him, making him montarily stop talking.
"Stop what, Miss Shizune?" He asks as if he doesn't know what he's doing is strange.
"Alehandro, don't you realize how this thing you're doing has already gone beyond the level of protection? I feel suffocated around you," in the first month it was even nice, Alehandro is undoubtedly a cool guy.
But now I feel suffocated around him, this overprotection is already at an unhealthy level, now I strongly believe that Alehandro is the Yandere, this level of protection is not at all natural.
"But Miss Shizune, you are at risk, I just want to protect you," he says, sounding sowhat hurt.
"I don't need your protection at this level, I feel suffocated around you as if I'm losing my freedom," I say in a rather cold way, I understand that he wants to protect and I even made him promise to protect .
But this is already too much.
"B-But Miss Shizune, I'm just trying to keep you completely safe..." The hurt in his voice is clear, but I'm already tired of being around him.
This last month has been horrible, I hate the feeling of having soone so absurdly focused on .
"Alehandro, this is not just about keeping safe, you are depriving of my freedom, you even talked about stopping helping with the plan just because of this unhealthy overprotection of yours," He seed offended when I called his protection "unhealthy."
"...I understand, Miss Shizune...it's late, I think it's better if I leave..." He says as he leaves through the door, but not before wishing a good night.
'...Was I too cruel...but I need to set boundaries...he's dangerous to .' I'm practically 100% sure he's the Yandere, which ans either I'll be killed by him or I'll die indirectly because of him.
This doesn't an I hate him, I've spent the last few days with him and I know he's a cool guy, he's always helping others and is quite kind, he even sleeps little at night just to go investigate the church since during the day he goes out with to protect .
Now I'm lying in bed thinking about it.
'If everything goes well, I'll try to change his ntality...' This current ntality of his is dangerous for my freedom, but at least I know he's much less dangerous than Himari.
Since Himari suspected practically from the beginning and was already ready to eliminate , and from her words, I think in the end Himari committed suicide.
I can't sleep, I feel restless, lately I've been restless at night, because I'm afraid that Alehandro will co in here and kill , I also have nightmares about Himari, so I spend hours staring at the ceiling.
But I think this is common, it's impossible not to be afraid or not to have nightmares in my situation.
"I think I won't be able to sleep...maybe it's a good idea for to go for a walk," I get up and go to the door, when I open it, Alehandro falls on top of , apparently, from the position, he was about to knock on the door.
"A-ALEHANDRO?" He's covered in blood, and I see blood dripping from his sword.
"S-Sorry to show you this scene...a-assassins after ...my brother..." He faints while I carry him into my room and lock the door.
My hands are trembling as the sight of the blood scares .
But I have to help Alehandro, I notice he has a cut wound on Alehandro's abdon, in a hurry I pull him to my bed while looking for so fabric to stop the bleeding.
In the nervousness, I only tear a fragile piece of my dress and continue until I have a large piece of fabric, my blood-stained hands tremble to the point that holding the fabric is difficult.
I start pressing the fabric on the wound to stop the bleeding, I'm desperate and afraid.
"Alehandro, please don't die, I need you, I can't live without you," Without him, I can't acquire the possibility of breaking my curse and I may end up dead.
...
...
...
"Alehandro, please don't die, I need you, I can't live without you," I hear Miss Shizune say this, in a way it makes my heart race and puts a smile on my face.
'She likes ...'
Miss Shizune seems desperate to stop my bleeding. This has gone beyond all limits for , my brother tried to kill directly.
'That bastard, I'll kill him.' I've never wanted to kill soone before who wasn't a heretic or a witch, but my brother deserves death.
Lately, the assassins have been increasing, I've done everything to make sure Miss Shizune doesn't notice, and I was truly hurt when she said my protection was unhealthy.
But seeing her crying and desperate, saying she needs , makes feel encouraged to have been stabbed.
After all, if it weren't for that, I would never have seen this side of Miss Shizune.
"Miss Shizune, don't cry...I-I won't die..." I say after fully opening my eyes, I montarily passed out, but as a Templar, I am resilient and persistent.
"The wound is not that serious...I'll survive," Fortunately, it wasn't too deep.
"Miss Shizune...thank you for helping," Even if it's not serious, if I had passed out without receiving care to stop the bleeding, I would have died, although the bandage is very poorly done, it still helped.
"Miss Shizune, could you go get guards to clean up the ss?" I ask her.
"N-No, I can't leave you alone,"
'I need Miss Shizune to alert other Templars or another attack may occur'
"Miss Shizune...you bandaged it very poorly, if you don't get help, I'll die," The look of shock on her face is kind of funny, she quickly runs off to get help.
"She loves ...hahaha soone who loves like this...I think I've never found soone like this before...I need you too, Miss Shizune..." I murmur as I begin to fix the poorly made bandages.
