6. Proof of Existence (38)
The faces of the two men and women facing each other made a strong contrast.
First of all, my body was not healthy.
It was after running while forcibly tearing off the bloody thread. There were scratches all over the skin, and the trampled ankles were a mixture of blood and flesh, giving them a hideous appearance.
His broken right wrist dangled while holding the knife. It was a hideous sight.
On the other hand, the girl in front of me didn’t even have any scars.
The pure white skin was still radiant. Unlike me, who gasped and inhaled, his breathing was also stable. However, there is only one, passionate color tone spread on pure white drawing paper.
Blood dripped from the hatchet stuck in his shoulder. According to the girl’s heartbeat, he pushed, and blood sometimes spurted out.
That one wound made another decisive contrast.
My face was sweaty and smiling, but the girl’s face was stained with bewilderment and shame. A slight heat leaked out from his teeth that were clenched as if he was resentful.
No way, as if he didn’t know that he would be defeated by someone like me.
However, the gushing blood was testifying to an undeniable reality. Forced to swallow my moans, I asked the girl.
“… … win or lose?”
The girl’s body trembled.
Golden eyes glared at me with resentment, but the girl couldn’t bear to touch me.
Because it was such a ‘contract’.
The result might have been different if I put my true intentions, but the victory or defeat has already been decided. It was time to pay the price.
In the end, the girl had no choice but to admit defeat.
“Okay, I lost.”
At the same time, the struggle of the faceless monsters stopped.
The monsters, blown away by Celine’s blow, lay on the ground searching for their lost limbs. However, since further battles became meaningless, the monsters also did not feel the need to restore their bodies.
Or did the girl deliberately give such an order?
The string of tension that had been pulled tight was released. Celine and Elsie-senpai swept their hearts out, and I felt like I was at a loss and wanted to sit down.
But now I couldn’t fall.
I retrieved the hatchet from the girl’s shoulder. The pain must have been severe, but there was no change in the girl’s expression. It’s like you’ve been through this kind of pain countless times.
When my eyes were filled with a cloud of pity, the girl gave me a distorted smile.
“Do not worry about it. Compared to what I’ve been through so far, it’s not even painful… … ”
As if to prove this, new flesh began to grow on the girl’s shoulders. Even the speed at which rainwater filled a dry well would not have been faster than this.
and silence.
After a moment of hesitation, a bitter voice escaped from my mouth.
“… … sorry.”
It was something I should have said earlier.
I didn’t know what to be sorry for. Everything was just sinful and pitiful.
I couldn’t even imagine what the pain the girl had to endure alone. In addition, we had gone too far from each other. I couldn’t come and ask for forgiveness and go back to the relationship it was like before.
Because the girl’s sin was too deep for that.
Of course, that sin is not solely the girl’s responsibility. This was also the responsibility of me and my family for losing a helpless little child. So I couldn’t forgive the girl even more.
That the girl does not bear any more sins.
That was the minimum duty given to me. Perhaps the girl will never be able to forgive our family forever.
It was an apology with many emotions. Or, you could say it was a farewell greeting.
The girl’s lips were tightly closed and did not open. He didn’t seem to want to give me an answer right away.
The girl just turned her back and walked lightly, standing again in the crimson sun. Before I knew it, a bloody throne appeared in its place.
Right before I sat down on the seat of power, the girl’s golden pupils chased after me. It was the kind of eyes that matched the sly smile.
“Don’t apologize already. Isn’t our meeting over yet?”
“It will be over soon.”
“That, I decide.”
There was not even a hint of doubt in the girl’s face as she stared at me while sitting in her seat. It was not the attitude of one who speaks lies or bluffs.
At this point, I felt a strange atmosphere.
As I narrowed my brows like that, right before I asked the girl what to say.
“I am ‘greed’.”
The clear sound of snapping fingers echoed.
“You should have whatever you want. And now, in front of my eyes, the existence I had longed for all my life appeared… … .”
Then the blood-red sun began to blaze and grow in size. The crimson orb emitting light alone in the dark was overwhelming and terrifying.
It was a sign of change.
Like a seizure, the woman’s hand banged against the armrest. The joy that dyed her face waved with sensual saturation.
“How could I miss this?! How could you give up?!”
It sounded absurd to me.
I was the one who won the bet. Naturally, I had the right to demand performance of the contract.
My throat immediately went up.
“What are you doing! I don’t think you want to break the ‘contract’… … !”
“You don’t have to worry too much. Because the ‘contract’ has to be kept.”
Along with a languid voice, bloody waves follow from the sky.
A torrent of blood on the shoal was staining the girl’s pure white dress. At first, the clothes were bloody, then dark red, and then changed to jet black.
The priest’s uniform, made of thick cloth, reminded me of a prisoner’s uniform. In the middle of the outfit decorated with solid white lines on a black background, a bloody demon wriggled out.
Delphirem, the mark that symbolizes the first sinner of mankind.
The girl bit off a refreshing smile. It was hard to believe that he was a person who had shown madness just a few seconds ago.
“According to the contract, ‘I’ will not touch ‘brother’ ‘today’.”
What are you talking about, I was about to ask back in tears.
The girl clicked her tongue and waved her index finger. This, too, seemed to be expected. A swamp of love and hatred swayed in those golden eyes.
“So you should have listened carefully to the terms of the contract, right? You said you wouldn’t touch ‘oppa’ ‘today’ if you hurt me even a little bit.”
“Is the subject missing?”
“Of course it’s ‘me’!”
Cook-cook, the girl smiled as she made a particularly unreasonable argument.
“Since I said it, isn’t that natural?”
“What nonsense is that… … .”
“You think I came here without a plan?!”
Once again, the girl’s eyes were bloodshot.
Every second the woman’s emotions danced between excitement and tranquility. It seemed that now was the turn of ‘excitement’.
An excited voice shoots at me.
“I’ve been watching you for a very long time. continue, continue… Have you been imagining it for decades? Only that day when I will take my brother back to that fake one… By the way, didn’t you take it too lightly on me?!”
A light moan escaped my mouth.
A decade is not short. It was around that time when Lia first arrived at the Percus mansion, so it was hard to take the girl’s statement straight away.
Doesn’t that mean that the girl has been watching me for a very long time?
It was such a cruel story.
He sees the happy moments of his family except for himself. No one even cares about where they should be.
It must be a painful day that will break your heart.
In the gap where my lips couldn’t part, the girl’s declaration continued.
“There is no such thing as a priceless transaction… Everyone stand up!”
Pak, Pak, Pak.
Bloody rays pierced the bodies of the fallen monsters. The faceless monsters began to let out long cries as if in response.
Woo woo woo!
out of proportion, out of proportion.
The monsters that raised their bodies attacked and bit each other’s bodies. agjak, agjak. An unpleasant noise ensued, and I instinctively let out a scream.
“Stop those monsters now!”
The ones who responded immediately were Celine and Elsie seniors.
Long practical experience used to smelt humans into a single weapon. Those two were prime examples of that.
Celine and Elsie-senpai had already finished preparing to intercept at any time at my command.
Storms of blood and electrical charge shake the air.
The bloody sun was alive and well, but the bloody threads that held us down had long since disappeared. As before, it was difficult for the girl to exercise dominion over this area.
At least until then.
As I was about to hit the ground in a hurry, the eyes of the girl and I met.
A twisted smile flashed across my retinas. The girl seemed to have no doubts.
win
It was the face of someone who had castrated all other possibilities. My gaze naturally followed that pupil.
Celine stood out.
While he was thinking, Celine’s ax started chopping down Elsie’s shoulder.
“Uh, huh?”
Elsie couldn’t even properly scream.
He just looked at Celine with wide eyes. But Celine didn’t know English either.
Only the blood-colored magic that quietly climbed Celine’s arm provided clues.
It was a ‘contract’.
What time is it?

Just before asking these questions.
“… … Partner, should you fulfill the ‘contract’?”
With a whimper, a silver sword appeared as it pierced my abdomen.
Blood dripped from my throat and ran up. I couldn’t understand this situation at all, so I had to convey my wide-eyed gaze to the background.
I didn’t even feel popular.
No, strictly speaking, I felt it, but I ignored it.
A man with jade-colored hair and an androgynous appearance recited with a face that could not be more cruel than that.
while sighing.
“I told you to run away, Ian… … .”
It was the moment when the traitor was revealed.
I knew it would be Yuren after reading the letter
