Editing The Unexplored Summon Blood Sign:Volume5 Chapter3 (section)

===Part 9===

A white explosion struck his body.

Had he been unconscious for only a few seconds or for more than an hour?

“Kah…hah…”

His vision wavered. He could not even perceive the space around him. In his T-shirt and shorts, Kyousuke suppressed the feeling of something caught in his throat and desperately worked to breath.

How many people had died in that explosion?

What had happened to Biondetta, to Kyoumi, to Shigara Masami…to everyone?

And…

What had happened to the White Queen???

“…other.”

Only one person stood tall in that broken world.

They had all killed each other.

To take that one love for themselves, the Queens with identical specs had all killed each other.

And only one had survived as if to say that was what a queen was.

“…Brother…”

He could not tell ''which'' White Queen this was.

It was like a Kodoku jar. Who remained standing at the end of the fight to the death?

But Kyousuke knew one thing.

(That isn’t Mary Ann.)

He was sure of it.

It could not possibly be her.

(She swore to me that she wouldn’t hurt anyone. So she must have kept her violence sealed away to the very end.)

If not for that verbal promise, she could have wielded her claws and fangs and she might have managed to survive.

It was sad. It was painful. He wanted to run away in anger.

But he could not.

Suppressing the White Queen came first. She carried no sin of her own. She had simply been trapped by a curse. And it was Kyousuke himself who had cut her chains and forced the horrifying backlash onto her.

He could no longer hope for the best result.

But he could not give up. He had to stop her at the second best position.

He could not let her continue this sorrowful rampage.

———''Are you still fighting it?

“Shut up…”

———''This will begin the killing of the Queen. This proves the prediction that the Sewn Realm Summoning prevents the Queen from escaping to the other world even when she is killed. If the truly powerful sweep away the remaining fragments through pure numbers, even that White Queen will be truly killed this time.

“Shut up!!!!!!”

Something burned deep in his mind.

The supposedly unmeltable icy core was burned entirely away.

He felt a sticky liquid dripping from his ears.

This was probably the final correction. He could no longer use the cruel thought processes of a precision guided missile.

But that was fine.

He did not care if it had broken.

He would shake off the destiny decided for him and he would grab at his own future.

So he wanted the power to save someone instead. He wanted the strength to not give up even after making a decisive mistake! He wanted the ultimate light that let him embrace that twisted person and tell her it would be okay!!

Now that he had become a mere boy, he began dragging his body that was too weak to actually get up.

But not toward the White Queen.

There was no point in fighting. Challenging the peak of the Unexplored-class as a human would be reckless and choosing to harm her was the wrong way to deal with this.

He had to find the source of the power driving the Queen insane.

He had to destroy it and remove the bonds of false love and affection from her heart.

“…”

(The grownups had 78 tarot cards based on Lewis Carroll’s story.)

He thought of the spider web structure of the Miniature Garden. That was likely modeled after the psychedelic picture book world existing down the rabbit hole. He calculated out what symbols they would have used where to most efficiently apply the March Hare’s influence.

(They viewed the White Queen as the eternal girl and trapped her in this story world to control her through the actions of the children who were given different roles by the cards.)

And that guided him to where he needed to go and what he needed to remove to return everything to normal.

(And on top of that, they mixed the Guide Rabbit and the March Hare together to steal my role from me…)

“Brother, where are you going?”

“Anywhere’s fine as long as it isn’t heaven…”

He would even visit the depths of hell if he would find the method of saving her there.

He clenched his teeth and gradually but desperately made progress.

He grabbed it in the very, very end.

Everyone had drawn a card from that set in the very beginning. It was most likely an original tarot set based on Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece. No one had chosen the March Hare card.

That was the second rabbit.

It was the source of the confusion.

“It’ll be okay,” announced Kyousuke despite barely breathing.

He spoke those words that had truly saved him when he heard them from Shigara Masami.

“I’ll save you now, Queen. If I tear apart this March Hare card, the confusion and deception will vanish and you’ll be back to normal. That way, you won’t be manipulated by this ''mistaken love'' any longer…!!”
