After sleeping considerably well, I went to take a shower and ca to have breakfast with Angelica. She serves toast with eggs and bacon, along with a small bowl of rice and fish.
"Shizune, we need to talk seriously," Angelica says with an irritated look on her face. It seems the matter is really serious since I’ve never seen her acting this way.
"...Yes, you can speak," I say, pausing the food in the air and then putting it in my mouth as I affirm that she can speak.
"Do you think I’m an idiot?" She asks angrily. I stop eating and look at her without understanding why she’s mad at .
"..."
"Shizune, you’re an idiot," she simply insults for no reason.
"Why are you like this today!?" I question, not really liking being called an idiot out of nowhere.
"I’m speaking literally, Shizune. You’re dumber than when we started. You ssed up a basic calculation that elentary school kids get right, and you used to get it right. Do you think I haven’t noticed you’ve been getting stupider every day?"
"But I’m taking care of you, I give you educational tasks, try to take walks with you, and give you food that helps. It doesn’t make sense for you to be getting dumber every day."
"Unless you’re doing sothing to cause it yourself. Do you think I can ignore the fact that you’re slowly destroying yourself?" She says, barely containing her anger.
’...’ I can’t deny it. Every day Flora cos to visit , I feel worse the next day. Right now, even doing calculations on my fingers is very difficult, and I can still get the count wrong if I don’t focus on it.
"...I-I don’t know what you’re..."
Crack!
She bangs the table hard, making things shake and a cup fall to the floor, shattering.
"Don’t try to deceive ! How can you be so careless with yourself!"
’...’ I’m upset about this. It’s not my fault. They don’t protect properly, and Flora keeps showing up all the ti.
But what I’m feeling the most is indignation. I’m accepting Flora’s whims to protect them, how can she co and judge like this when I’m trying my best?
Does she think I like this? Does she think I don’t know I’m getting dumber every day? She doesn’t know how powerless I feel having to obey Flora’s whims.
But in the end, either I obey or I die, and I don’t want to die. Flora seems the type who cares more about the mont, so if she gets bored with trying to escape or resist, she’ll kill .
I’m sure that as soon as I give her a reason, she’ll try to kill , and I won’t even be able to resist.
"Angelica, I’m fine..." I try to stay calm. I beg her not to continue, or I won’t be able to handle it.
"Don’t make excuses. What have you been doing?" She insists. I’m completely losing my composure now.
"Nothing," I speak a single cold and short word to her to make her stop. Can’t she see I’m uncomfortable with this?
"Stop lying to ! Tell now what you’ve been up to in secret," she continues. She really won’t stop.
"..." I decide to remain silent. If I ignore her long enough, she’ll give up. It’s worked the other tis she’s questioned .
"Do you think staying silent and throwing a tantrum like a child will work? I’m tired of giving in to your childish tantrums and giving up. Tell now why you’re getting worse." She gets up from the table and cos towards .
"..."
"Co on, Shizune, say it now or I’ll have to take action on this matter. You’re throwing your life away, don’t you realize that?"
’I’m tired of this...why do I get scolded when I’m just trying to keep everyone alive...’ I’m doing everything to keep Flora from killing them. Why is she destroying my hope like this?
This is so cruel. What’s the point of having hope that they’ll help when all they do doesn’t help at all?
"You want to know?" I say, reaching my limit. I can’t hold back anymore. If it were in the past, I might have, but my low IQ and low ntal tolerance don’t allow to try to contain myself anymore.
"Yes, tell already why your condition has been worsening. Don’t hide the truth anymore," she speaks with a certain urgency.
"It’s Flora. She’s satisfied, she cos to ss with every day, and you don’t do anything. She plays with , and all I can do is try to endure and accept it. You don’t know how tired I am of this."
I start to vent, leaving the consequences aside. Everything has been so difficult lately to endure in silence. I get up from the chair and turn my back to her, ready to run to my room as soon as I finish venting.
I also don’t want to see her judgntal look or any other look she might have for .
"I hate it. I hate being treated like a dosticable animal. She treats like a damn dog, and just to keep you alive, I try my best to endure this humiliation."
I vent what I’ve been holding back for the last month. My voice has more sorrow than anger. I could normally endure in silence, but it’s impossible to endure if Angelica keeps insisting like this.
"How can you be mad at ! When I’m just trying my best to stay alive." No one has the right to judge .
No one understands how bad it is to go from one world to another. The feeling of leaving one world and arriving in another adds so much weight on that so of the deaths don’t even compare.
That’s why I’m so afraid of death. If it were just about dying and going to another world, I could even look for good worlds using instant deaths.
But the act of leaving one world and arriving in another is one of the worst parts, and besides the serious problem it causes to go from one world to another, there’s also a Yandere I don’t know what she’ll do.
So are even acceptable, like Alehandro, but there are others like Himari that are simply unacceptable.
"I hate this, I hate Flora, I hate you, I hate this world, and I hate Sayuri who forces to go through this hell for a single mistake." This is undoubtedly the worst world so far.
Because it’s a world that’s taking everything from . In the previous worlds, the most they took from was my life.
But in this world, they took my power, they took part of my masculinity, they took my pride and trampled on it like trash, and among what they took from the most is my intellect.
One of the few things I’ve had since the beginning was taken from . How can I bear this? There is no human who could withstand such a thing.
’Why the silence...’ It’s strangely quiet. I expected Angelica to say sothing or try to hold and turn to face her in the eyes, but everything is silent. I turn to look at her to see why it’s silent.
"K-Kyaaaa!" I fall to the floor, quickly backing away in fear. I see Angelica lying on the floor, full of cuts. There’s blood all over the floor, as well as blood in a few other places, and it’s also ssy, as if people had been fighting.
"W-Why?" I look at my hands, feeling sothing strange on them. They’re covered in blood, and I’m holding a knife. I also notice there’s blood on my clothes.
Out of fear, I grip the knife tightly as a reflex.
"I warned you what would happen, Shizune," I hear a voice and quickly look to the side, seeing Flora taking a sip of so drink.
"Do you think your collar is just an ornant? Certain owners put GPS in their pets’ collars. Of course I would do the sa with you. I can’t risk you running away and never finding you again," she speaks with a certain calm.
"But another very good function is a built-in cara." When she says this, I look down and touch the collar around my neck, the collar I’ve been forced to wear this whole ti.
"!!!" She killed Angelica, just as she said she would if I revealed sothing I shouldn’t. I broke a rule and was punished for it. This realization hits quickly.
"Did you think this was outside of my plans? I always imagined you would talk too much at so point. After all, you’re not very smart. It must be hard to hide a secret like this." Her composure in the face of this is disturbing as I tremble with fear.
"But that’s not the main point here. You failed , but since I liked your obedience in so respects, I only killed this magical girl. The others are alive."
"But I don’t leave punishnts half-done. I hope you can argue well, or maybe you’ll be treated like a delusional schizophrenic." After saying this, Flora disappears.
I’m left without understanding what she ant, feeling only the fear of the situation. Angelica just died in front of , and it’s all my fault because I couldn’t contain myself.
This is the first ti an innocent person has died directly because of . Even though Angelica was a Yandere, she never hard anyone or hurt .
She was worried about and was trying her best to help . I had a mont of anger, so I argued.
"..." I hear the sound of the door opening. From where I am, it’s easy to see who’s at the door, and the person at the door can easily see .
"S-Shizune..." Rose and Azuli enter. I don’t understand why they’re here at this exact mont, but I soon attribute this to Flora’s doing.
Flora said I should argue well. I look at Angelica’s corpse. She was brutally killed by stabs. The scene looks like there was a bit of a struggle, but she couldn’t react and was murdered.
I’m holding a knife and am covered in blood...and worse, I have a ntal problem that could "be" the reason I committed murder.
"..." Rose and Azuli stare at . Their gaze goes from my blood-stained body to the knife in my hand and to Angelica on the floor. Out of fear, I gripped the knife tightly, so I still have it.
Flora was brilliant. She set everything up perfectly, probably stopping ti to do it all.
"I-I can explain" I say in a way that doesn’t inspire much confidence. How can I explain this? There’s no explanation. To anyone who sees it, it’s obvious that I killed Angelica with the knife.
