Happy Wednesday!
Heres the chapter, enjoy.
ED: Ignite
Also, I dont really rember, but there was an authors note for this chapter, which was sothing along the lines of this chapter having so yandere parts to it and if you dont like that kind of thing, then feel free to skip it. I dont really translate ANs because most of them dont really relevant to us anymore and Im not good at rembering things, so heres an authors note for you. If it was sothing important, Id translate it.
Anyways, heres a fun fact for you: the author has just started first year of university, so they should only be about 18-19 years old. Was this unexpected for you?
I jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Alia.
Alia was trembling, frightened.
A, akirawhen did you start listening?
I cocked my head to the side and stroked the back of my neck.
Since the start. Well, thats mostly because I got here first.
Then, Alias face turned pale.
It was truly a coincidence.
After Kurou told that the thing he was most afraid of was a hand not reaching, I entered the forest to contemplate in silence.
Climbing a tree was because being up there cald down, and not because I was trying to hide. I was thinking it over so deeply that I didnt even notice until Alia had co to stand at this tree, so it wasnt like I purposely move to this tree.
Even if I explained it, Alias complexion probably wouldnt get any better.
The blood completely drained from her originally pale skin.
I place my hand on top of her head to calm her down.
You dont need to worry, I wont leave you, and I wont forget about Alia either.
Certainly, kaasan and Yui were important too, but Alia was just as important.
There were tears in Alias eyes, and she held on tightly onto the cloak that I was wearing.
And then, she looked up at and tilted her head to the side.
Really? You wont leave behind, or forget ?
While bewitched by Alia who was behaving like a puppy, I nodded.
Aah, I promise. on the contrary, Im the one whos worried. Since we dont seem to be suited for each other. Just talking about looks, its annoying, but the hero would definitely be a good match with you.
I took out my dagger, and had the frowning Alia hold onto it.
I dont like that person. Akira is cool, and strong. what are you doing?
I gave a wry smile, at that.
Certainly, the hero was weak, but Im not cool.
I couldnt deny that there wasnt the suspension bridge effect when Alia and I t either.
TN: the suspension bridge effect is when soone does sothing dangerous and sees soone. Then, they mistake the heart-pounding from the dangerous activity with that of the heart-racing from falling in love, thinking that they fell for the other person
I covered Alias hand that was gripping the dagger with my right hand, and moved it closer to my left hand.
Alia pulled back, frightened.
Im not sure how it works here, but in Japan, there is a custom where a man and a woman whove promised to spend their lives together would put a ring on the fourth finger of their left hand. Such things like an engagent ring or a wedding ring, Im not well-inford about it since I had no interest in them back then, but now, Ill make a ring on my finger.
The blade sank down into the skin around the third joint on my ring finger.
The pain, along with the blood that was so red that it could be seen within the darkness, slid down my hand, continuing down my arm, and then fell onto the ground.
Wh, what are you.
Alias eyes widened as I, without a change in expression, continued to use her hand to carve a ring onto my finger.
Deeper, deeper, deep enough that the mark would not disappear, but wouldnt cut through necessary veins.
look, doesnt it look like a ring.
When illuminated by the moonlight, one would find that there was a red mark around my ring finger on my left hand.
Didnt you want to leave a mark on ?
With this, her wish had been realized.
When I looked at Alia, she was looking back and forth from my finger to the dagger.
A ring on the ring finger of a man and woman.
This ti, Alia had my hand take hold of the dagger, and without hesitation, cut at her own pale and slender finger.
Im happy that we match.
Standing next to , the moonlight illuminated her hand that had the sa mark on her finger.
Perhaps it was because her anxiety had dissipated into the night, or perhaps it was because she was happy that we matched for the first ti, but normally, I would not have approved of Alia injuring herself.
However, for so reason, I was in an extrely good mood today.
What Im most afraid of is, my hand not reaching.
Kurous seemingly pained voice resounded in my mind.
Even when extended, my hand might not reach.
The demons were so strong that if Kurou hadnt arrived in ti, Alia wouldve been abducted and we mightve died too.
Even so, with the sa ring on our fingers, we would always be connected.
Alia, if you wish for it, I will destroy this body. If it pleases you, add more scars. In return, if theres anything you want to do or if you are worried about anything, let know imdiately. If I am able to, I will definitely grant it.
I kneeled, then and there, and dropped a kiss on the back of her left hand.
Was I being a bit too pretentious, when I looked up, Alias cheeks were dyed red, and then, she put a hand on my cheek.
In that case, promise this as well. Do not die, do not forget , do not separate from , and always, look only at .
I stood up, and embraced Alia.
I held her small and slender fra close.
That wish, I have heard it. I will fulfill it without fail.
Not separating seed excessive, but other than that, it seed fine.
Since I did not have the intention of dying, forgetting her, nor being distracted by another woman.
Alia was smiling happily, within my arms.
Alia, who had been sowhat lancholic ever since I was injured in the dungeon, was truly smiling for the first ti in a while.
It wasnt the kind of forced smile you have when you first et soone, but a genuine smile that only Yoru or myself would be able to see.
I want to go back because of my kaasan and younger sister.
However, in this mont, I had the thought of not wanting to separate from this smile.
