104 – Worst Timing
“…Well.”
Once I came to my senses, I was in a familiar situation again.
‘Is it a dream again?’
A body that cannot be controlled according to my will. Nevertheless, it is a vivid sensation that even the breath you inhale can be felt.
I think I’m having that strange dream again.
By the way, since when did you start dreaming?
Obviously I was running around with Pandora and the concept of death to escape the Dominating Hands.
“…….”
I tried to rewind my memories, but I can’t recall exactly how I fell asleep, probably because it was in a dream.
Well, what to do? It’s normal to wake up after a dream and not be able to remember when you fell asleep.
“…Well.”
As I am concentrating on the scene unfolding in front of my eyes with such thoughts, only then do I realize the current situation I am in.
‘What is this?’
Me and the concept of death were riding the rides in an amusement park while wearing our academy uniforms.
Of course, his face was also hard, so he couldn’t change his expression, but it felt like his expression went blank for a moment.
‘Is it just a dog dream…?’
The dream was so strange and peaceful that I suddenly thought about it.
Of course, all of these dreams so far have been violent or serious.
But look at this situation now.
– Rumbling, rattling…!
Aren’t I and the mature concept of death holding the safety bar while wearing a pair of strange headbands?
From the looks of it, it seems that they have just finished boarding the roller coaster and returned to where they boarded it.
“…So, how are you feeling?”
“………”
At the time when I was obsessed with the feeling that something was wrong for some reason, a voice mixed with laughter started to come out of my mouth.
“Isn’t it a little funny to see the largest amusement park on an artificial island being taken over by the worst villain of the time as a hostage, and then riding the rides alone?”
“………”
“Perhaps if I get out of here safely with you, the media will be talking about today’s incident for a few months. We’re doing something ridiculous like that…”
It was only after hearing the words that came out of my mouth that I was able to grasp the general situation.
– The rattle…
For some reason, there was a reason why the amusement park employee, who was raising the safety bar, was trembling very much with a pale blue face.
This amusement park has been occupied and threatened by me.
‘I need to develop my powers of observation a bit more.’
Looking at it now, there were only two people on the roller coaster, me and the concept of death.
There were helicopters floating in the sky that were probably broadcasting the current situation live across the country.
A dream is a dream, so I didn’t feel like I was living, but when I saw that my eyes were looking out of sight, I could see that there were a lot of heroes who had sneaked into the park.
“Suddenly, isn’t it time to say something about your impressions?”
“………”
“The next step depends on whether you are satisfied or not…”
Since I realized that the situation is much more dangerous than I thought, and I am nervous, a slightly dissatisfied voice leaks out of my mouth.
“…Nice.”
“Yes?”
Just then, the notion of death, which had been sitting on its head for a long time, begins to mutter in a trembling voice.
“I’m glad…”
Tears flowed from her eyes as she raised her head as she said that.
“It’s so much fun… So much fun that it brings me to tears…”
“………”
“I never dreamed of coming to an amusement park for fear of someone dying… Even at the academy, I always wore thick clothes…”
I start watching her like that.
“I never imagined that a roller coaster would be so much fun… The merry-go-round and bumper cars were so much fun… I want to ride the Viking over there…”
The girl’s face looked so happy as she enjoyed the little pleasures she had never had since she was born.
“This moment is so much fun…”
“…It doesn’t really matter.”
But the moment you remember that the purpose of that happiness is ‘death’, is it because you feel sad for some reason?
“The point is, you have to like me.”
“…….”
“I asked him to come find a way, and he suggested an ‘amusement park date.’
However, it seems that the me in the dream did not have such empathy.
“…Are you done training for the image of me as your ‘boyfriend’?”
Because I was looking at the concept of death with a happy expression on my face with tears flowing from my eyes, and I was asking that question.
“Well…”
Then, after wiping the tears from her eyes, she began to mutter in her small voice.
“I thought it would work until just now, but when I heard that, I broke it…”
“…….”
“…Just kidding.”
Then the concept of death, which looked at me and corrected its words midway, cautiously held my hand and spoke.
“Now I really think I just need to do a little more.”
“…Do you know what number it was?”
“But you understand. What it feels like to have your emotions dead.”
I quietly frowned at those words.
“It’s the same thing for me or for you to lose your feelings. I’m still working hard, just a little more…”
– Kuguawang…!
“…Ah?”
She, who had been speaking in an earnest voice while holding my hand tightly, hurriedly turned her gaze to the roar that flowed from outside her.
“Ah……”
Then, she becomes contemplative within her.
“Guys…”
She and the students from her academy, where she’s been for the past few years, have broken through the defenses of her park and are heading towards her location.
“No…”
As I confirmed her appearance, I tried to stand up while exhaling her flesh, she hurriedly put strength in her hand and shook her head.
“Don’t hurt them…”
“…….”
“Please…”
With that earnest voice, the power that had entered my body was slowly released.
“…Now, I will do it with all my heart.”
And that moment.
– Seruk…
She sighed and closed her eyes, then thrust her head at me.
‘……!’
It’s only for a moment, but the feeling of her cold tongue touching my tongue is intact.
“………”
And the moment I felt the tears running down my cheeks, I felt guilty for some reason, so I tried to pull my head back, but of course my body stiffened and didn’t move.
“…Puha.”
How much time had passed like that?
“”………””
With her tongue out of my mouth, she pulls her head back and starts staring at me blankly.
“It’s not that sweet…”
And then, she muttered with a slightly regretful expression.
“…I heard that first kisses are sweet.”
With those words, she stood up from her seat, gazed at the academy students in the distance with her dim eyes, and then began to move her steps quietly.
“Follow me.”
“…….”
“From now on, I’m going to love you in earnest…”
Then, she slightly turns her head to look at me.
“…Even if it’s hard, will you bear with me until you kill me?”
Her smile, which she tried to make wide, gleamed in the sunlight, blending with the tears that flowed from her eyes.
“………..”
As I was staring blankly at that impressive figure, like a scene from a movie, I suddenly felt a pounding heart.
‘……Eh.’
Surprisingly, it wasn’t my feelings
“………”
It was mine in her dream, just watching her quietly.
“…Tsk.”
I realized that and clicked my tongue while distorting my expression, and the world began to spin and turn upside down.
.

.
.
.
“…Mmm.”
When I open my eyes again, I see a familiar face in front of me.
“…Senior.”
“f*ck.”
“f*ck you when you see a person’s face? You’re too much…”
As soon as I saw Rumia, who was staring at me with her head poked right up to my nose after I had fallen asleep for a while, I spat out a curse word and started looking around while rubbing my eyes quietly.
“What is this? There are a lot of numbers and unfamiliar words.”
＞ Do not touch!!! I don’t remember how you touched it wrong earlier and had to start all over again???
Then, from far away, Pandora manipulating the system in the control room and the concept of death making a curious expression beside it.
“………”
Looking at them still, for some reason, my heart starts to ache again.
“Senior.”
“…What is it?”
“I thought about it while the senior, who worked hard to get to the control room, fell asleep for a while.”
But Rumia, who has covered my vision by sticking out her head, quietly makes her offer with her eyes shining.
“How about solving the cover story?”
“…Reverse information?”
“Since we’ve found the initiative, we pretend the plan worked for the people who did it.”
I still had the feeling that my head wasn’t working properly thanks to the dream I had earlier, but it wasn’t such a bad suggestion.
“So…”
“I already made it and sent it.”
“…What?”
So she silently nods her head, she suddenly licks her lips quietly and shows me a news article on her smartphone.
“…….”
I was staring blankly at the title of the article, but when I looked at Rumia with a puzzled expression, she whispered in my ear with a creepy smile.
“…It seems that my house is the only place to really stay now, senpai?”
“Haa…”
Anyway, I feel like I chose the wrong reinforcements.

Meanwhile, at that time.
“”………””
Minamoto Himari and the Great Order, who had just sat down and were about to start talking, began to freeze when they saw the breaking news on the TV mounted in the hospital room.
[Breaking News: The Fall of the Dominating Hands…]
[Justia’s murderer, Kang Ha-neul, was confirmed to be murdered… Shocking]
It was because the worst information was leaking at the worst timing.
