It Seems We Can’t Escape the Loop. But the Loop Can’t Escape Either, Right?
* * *
“…Loop?”
I inadvertently repeated Extra-sama’s muttering.
Loop.
I know the aning of that word.
I’ve heard it in my previous life too.
“Ufufu~! This ring is really cute! The lizard carved into it is so stylish~!”
“I’m glad, Keranko!”
“…Fufufu, Miss Keranko… You must take good care of that ring.”
What nonsense are you saying, Extra-sama?
…Yes, I couldn’t just laugh it off.
Because the scummy family’s conversation I could eavesdrop from inside the manor did not deviate from what I heard before by a single word.
To the point where I was forced to understand, leaving no room for doubt, that ti was indeed repeating.
…Ti is repeating?
I don’t understand the aning.
What is that?
It’s a phenonon beyond human comprehension.
I can’t think of any counterasures at all.
It doesn’t seem like a problem that can be resolved by hitting.
An unreasonable injustice with no way to resist.
Sensing sothing imnse and incomprehensible behind this phenonon, I instinctively broke out in goosebumps.
Extra-sama proposed that to in a serious tone, not dropping her usual air.
Can you at least tell the reason?
Can’t escape?
I’m having trouble visualizing it properly…
………..
I turned my back to the manor and dashed at full speed through the hazy fog.
Because I didn’t want that.
I couldn’t endure such a life.
Listening to Extra-sama’s words, I ran and ran.
Parting the hazy fog in the air, kicking up the snow beneath my feet as I fled, fled, fled.
Extra-sama’s voice remained firm.
That alone made understand that the phenonon we’ve been caught up in this ti is quite serious.
Ultimately, while it’s cruel, Extra-sama and I are the most important.
To survive, I’ll kill and devour anything, abandon everything to escape.
Which is why this ti too, I will escape.
I feel not an ounce of guilt.
The people of that manor will likely be abandoned as a result, but so what.
I simply want to survive.
To keep moving toward the future.
With that sole desire, I continued running through the endless fog and snow.
However.
“…No way…”
Faced with the unwanted reality stretching before , those words inadvertently slipped out.
I had turned my back on the manor and continued running at full speed through the fog.
And yet.
Before I knew it, I was standing dumbfounded in front of that manor with its outwardly “strange” appearance.
Its roof was bright red. Bright crimson red. Additionally, the window fras and other key areas were also painted red.
The walls were coated yellow, with red polka dot patterns drawn here and there.
With only pure white snow piled up around it, its outward appearance stood out bizarrely.
“Stop it, Keranko!!”
“H-How cruel, Karashia Onee-sama… Don’t be so rough? Look, the palm of my hand has turned red…”
“Oh my! This is terrible, Keranko-chan! We should treat your injury right away!”
“Oh dear, Miss Keranko…”
The conversation I didn’t want to hear ca from inside the manor.
In other words, I failed to escape.
Ti had looped again…
Extra-sama muttered with a tinge of frustration.
The fact that I couldn’t escape weighed heavily on my back, causing to inadvertently drop to my knees in the snow.
…Could it be I’m dood to remain like this forever?
Will I eventually lose even the sense that ti is looping, dood to repeat the sa events over and over?
What kind of life is that?
A sense of emptiness and despair filled my chest.
The usually cheerful, rational part of that tried to keep my mind positive had vanished sowhere.
…And rising from the depths of my heart was anger toward this unreasonable reality beyond anyone’s control.
What the hell.
What is this loop?
Don’t screw with .
Don’t screw with !!
Why do I have to be caught up in so incomprehensible phenonon like this!?
Why must I offer up my future to so inexplicable phenonon!?
I don’t want that! I don’t want it!! I don’t want sothing like that!!!
The murderous aura I usually suppress leaked out from my body alongside a pitch-black magic power, swirling around .
Seeing my state, Extra-sama…
…Praised like that.
…Eh?
Extra-sama spoke to gently, like lecturing.
Eh? Eh? Really?
………..
I reined in the swirling murderous aura and magic power around .
Ah, right.
That’s right…
I guess I got carried away and lost my temper out of a misunderstanding… Kinda embarrassing…
…Ah…
Yeah, that’s right.
I see, I see.
Alright… Alright, let switch gears.
I’ve switched gears!
So? What does that an, Extra-sama?
The loop will be dispelled?
…I see.
I stood up and brushed off the snow clinging to my knees.
Then I glared at the strangely decorated manor!
Got it, Extra-sama.
Let’s do it, shall we!
Find the cause behind this loop and put an end to this endless, shitty tragedy!
, that is!!
Loop phenonon! Be prepared!
Because I’m about to…!
Smash you to pieces!!!
…………………
…Struggling is inevitable, huh…
