172 – Sky Maru
– Jureuk…
Tears flow endlessly from the eyes of Kang Ha-neul, who was blankly watching the situation unfolding in the simulation.
“Um, over there? Sky?”
Next to him, Se-ah Lee begins to open her mouth with a puzzled expression on her face, and her appearance has become much more transparent.
“Well, you don’t believe that crude simulation, do you?”
“…………”
“In reality, it wouldn’t have gone that way. I, I can be sure…”
She continues her story urgently, wiping the eyes of her river Haneul, whose tears were still shedding, with her own sleeve.
“Why, because… I’m the only one who truly loves you!?”
“……..”
“Boo, you must have been lucky. If you simulate it again, you will definitely get different results…”
But then, she suddenly starts to blur the ending of her words.
“…Sky?”
This was because Kang Ha-neul, who turned his head slightly, was looking at him with colder eyes than ever.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Isn’t that the way you look at Kang Maru or Himari…? It’s not the kind of look you would give me…?”
“…….”
“Well, then… How about this? Let’s do the simulation again. This time, I’ll help you, just add a few plausible variables…”
Ise-ah, who was looking at her with a slight trembling, soon put on a calm expression and began to walk towards the simulation that was spread out in front of the river sky.
“…It was because of you.”
“Oh, over there…”
“The reason why my sister became like that.”
Her, her river, Haneul, who blocked her with a cold glare, finally begins to murmur in her cold voice.
“Sky. I’ll say it again, that’s an inaccurate result. It was created too much from your perspective… It’s unfinished and only repeated once…”
Nevertheless, it was Se-Ah who shook her head wildly and continued her argument.
– Sigh…
“…Oh?”
As the river sky slightly moves away from her, her eyes turn round as she stops speaking.
“Even after this… Can you still say something like that?”
“……..”
Because it was only then that the sight of countless simulations lined up endlessly behind the simulation came into her eyes.
“Oh, that’s strange.”
And the endings of all the simulations were all the same.
“…I can’t do this.”
Kang Maru, who has absorbed at least half of Kang Ha-neul’s shadow, is seen patting Kang Ha-neul’s sobbing back.
“There is no way that someone else’s love other than mine can be true…”
“…….”
“Sky, didn’t you set something wrong?”
Ise-ah watched the scene with incomprehensible eyes for a while, then walked in front of her again.
“I’ll check it out…”
– Sigh…
“…Huh?”
But then, Kang Ha-neul’s hand snatched her arm.
“Why are you stopping me…?”
And the next moment.
– Kwasik…!!
Kang Ha-neul’s sincere punch that hit Se-ah Lee squarely in the face, crushing her face.
“…Huh?”
She blinked her eyes and made an expression as if she didn’t know what was going on, but then she sat down on the floor, covering her sore nose with her hand.
“That’s strange…?”
– Crackling…
“This is a space I created, so no matter how good-looking and good-looking the sky is, it won’t be able to touch me…
Then, she muttered in a voice full of confusion.
– Push…
“Ah.”
Kang Ha-neul held her hair in his hands and lifted her up.
– Wow…!
“…Kek.”
This time, he kicks her in the stomach with all his might.
“Cluck, cough…”
Due to the shock, Ise-ah falls onto her back and begins to exhale, drooling for a long time.
“Why, why are you doing this? Sky?”
“……..”
“My, how much I love you… Why are you doing such a cruel thing?”
Then, she grabs her collar, lifts her up, looks at the river sky that she has built with eyes that cannot be understood, and begins to tell her nonsense.
“Well, of course, Haneul can suffer domestic violence… If he only looks at me, it doesn’t matter…”
“……”
“But if you hit your stomach, how can you do it? Then, if you can’t get pregnant, you won’t be able to give birth to your child…”
– Mate…!
Then, her head turns and she stops talking as she slaps River Haneul’s cheek with all her might.
“If you truly loved me… You could have said so from the beginning.”
“…….?”
“You just said you liked it!!!”
As I lifted her up and raised her voice with her river Haneul soaked in her tears, Se-ah Lee, who had a blank expression on her face, answered in her low voice.
“But, the women around me were annoying.”
“……..”
“So I tried to kill everyone and confess.”
At those words, Kang Ha-neul completely lost what little sense of humor he had left.
“You… Really don’t have an answer.”
“Why… Don’t you understand? Sky…”
“That’s enough.”
“…Huh?”
He pushed Ise-ah down with all his might and then slowly began to move her forward.
“Don’t go, sky.”
Then, Ise-ah crawls over and grabs Kang Haneul’s leg.
“What if I leave like this? Then it won’t work.”
“……..”
“What are you going to do with all the effort I’ve put in so far? Huh? The person who truly loves you is right in front of you, so why on earth would you pursue a lie?”
– Kwasik…
“…Ugh.”
But when he shakes her leg and shakes her off, Isea once again falls helplessly on her floor.
– Turp, trudge…
“Listen to me… Ise-ah.”
Her river sky walks towards her and opens her mouth with her cold voice.
“You really… Are a terribly disgusting human being.”
“Sky?”
“So, no matter what choice I make there…”
He growls in a low voice and quietly disappears.
“…I will definitely tear you to pieces and kill you.”
And then the silence began.
“No. It can’t be like this… It can’t be like this…”
In that silence, Lee Se-ah, who was lying on the floor with a blank expression, soon begins to mutter, denying the reality before his eyes.
“My abilities, my abilities have never betrayed me. But why on earth did this happen…?”
– Gooooo…
“Where did it go wrong? Why has fixing the future suddenly gotten out of my control? I’ve defeated all the people who can create variables, so why on earth is the future changing in real time?”
Then, she closed her eyes in a cold sweat.
“…This is just a simple nightmare. So it will work this time. For sure.”
Of course, under normal circumstances she could use her powers in her dreams twice a day, when she closed her eyes and when she went to sleep, imagining her desired future.
However, in this inner mental world hastily created to avoid Kang Maru’s abilities, there was no need to activate such triggers.
Of course, I don’t normally have to force myself to stop thinking, so I didn’t have the means to apply it.
In this space, she was no different from a god.
“…Huh?”
She definitely should have.
“Why, why…? Why…!?”
“…….”
“Why!!! Why does the future unfold like this!!!”
Ise-ah, who was sweating coldly with her eyes closed for a short time, soon began to raise her voice, waving her arms as if struggling.
“No… This is not the future I want…!!”
– Wiggle, wiggle…
“Who created this variable? That red-haired kid? A girl in a white suit who I don’t know what it is?”
A suspicious sound began to be heard right in front of her, but it faded away as she was buried by her evil voice.
“Who the hell knows my abilities…?”
Just like that, Ise-ah kept her eyes closed and muttered until the end, even though her nose was bleeding due to the overload of using her abilities.
“…Ah.”
She suddenly came to her senses and muttered in a low voice.
“It was you.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“…………”
“Yes, it was somehow strange.”
And then, as if she realized everything, her voice began to brighten.
“There’s no way it matched up that well. It wasn’t a coincidence…”
– Soggy…
“……?”
At that very moment, something sticky falls on Se-ah Lee’s head.
“…..!”
As soon as she tilts her head and opens her eyes, she begins to make an astonished expression.
– Kwirrr…
The squirt protruding from the body of her river sky was standing in front of her with her mouth wide open.
“Ha, sky?”
Ise-ah looked at her like that with her eyes closed, and began to mutter in an effortlessly calm voice.
“I… I didn’t mean to become one like this…”
– Kwasik…
Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth, which was wide open, swallowed her in one bite.
“Ugh…”
The next moment, Kang Haneul, who had covered her mouth, began to mutter in disgust.
“I wonder how bad the taste is, even for the mental body to taste so disgusting…”
– Crackle, crackle…
“…It’s a temporary measure, but I wonder if this will work.”
So he forced himself to chew up Isea’s entire mental body.
– Gooooo…
The darkness everywhere soon began to move around the river sky.
“…Before I spit it out, I have to finish it.”
In the whirlpool, Kang Haneul, who was still sweating coldly with her mouth covered, quietly stretched out her hand downwards.
“…………”
To Kang Maru, who was buried deep in the darkness and quietly closing his eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
“…Oh?”
Kang Maru, who was patting Kang Ha-neul on the back with slightly tears in his eyes, suddenly starts looking around with a startled expression when the world begins to turn upside down.
– Gooooo…
“What is this…”
She then suddenly noticed the darkness surrounding her and looked very embarrassed.
“Ah.”
Then, when she saw the young river sky disappearing like a shadow in her arms, she realized an important fact.
“…I see.”
– Gooooo…
What happened to her just now was not something that actually happened, but was just her own flash.
“I can’t do anything but self-justify until the end…”
Even her own wishes were lost.
“…I’m sorry, Sky.”
Kang Maru quietly lowers her head and begins to mutter in a low voice as she looks at the darkness that is closing in on her.
“I was a bad older sister… I’m really sorry…”
And then, just before the darkness completely engulfs her, she closes her eyes tightly.
“…….?”
But for some reason, no matter how much time passed after that, her mind remained intact, and she, who had a puzzled expression on her face, slowly opened her eyes.
“……!”
Then, she soon became surprised and her eyes hardened.
The reason she was so surprised was that the swirl of darkness that was about to engulf her, as well as herself, had stopped and calmed down.
“Hello.”
The biggest thing for her was that someone she knew well was quietly standing in front of her.
“Sister.”
This was the moment when the floor, which had been constantly misaligned, finally reached the sky.
