Editing Shissou Suru Shishunki no Parabellum:Volume1 Chapter2 (section)

===3===
Itto was involved.

Shiho was protecting Itto. That was natural.

In the first place, he could not acclimate himself to such abnormal circumstances so quickly.

It's fine.

Shiho told him to.

Itto only have to escape.

As if it was a bad dream.

No, perhaps it really was a nightmare. Itto recently felt a strange sense of neurosis from his continuous bad luck. It would hardly be strange to see a nightmare.

''So it's fine.''

Itto looked at his feet suddenly and noticed a white tablet. It was the medicine Shiho said awakened the <Parabellum>

“...!”

It must have fallen out when she opened the pill case.

Itto picked up the tablet and felt its texture. A dangerous medication. The feeling of reality within this nightmare crept up his fingertips.

--- One tablet, no water required.

Itto swallowed his saliva.

''--- If I fight, I'm sure it'll be hell.''

Misfortune awaited him. That much was obvious.

Itto lived a trivial and free life. If he jumped into such abnormal circumstances, he would have to endure a continuous life of fear and suffering.

''--- Run away, Itto.''

He persuaded himself.

''Nothing I do will pan out.''

Such an unusual thing, he would definitely ruin it.

''I worked hard getting full marks on that test and was falsely accused of cheating.''

He recalled Shiho's smile.

''The sister I loved eloped with some man with a piercing in his nose and was hurt.''

Shiho was attacked. He recalled the two enemies.

''My parents fought every night while I was preparing for my high school entrance ceremony.''

He recalled Shiho's expression as she suffered from injury.

''And then they divorced.''

Ah---

Itto noticed.

''--- For someone like me, isn't it strange to be afraid of death?''

More than anything, Itto had something to say to Shiho.

Shiho said it as they parted---

There's no need for you to worry about a girl you don't know disappearing from school, right?

Itto was accustomed to the taste of contempt and humiliation.

However, he noticed something in Shiho's words, maybe it was a coincidence.

Of course, Shiho had not spoken out of malice, she just spoke naturally. She just seemed like that kind of girl.

''--- You said something unnecessary.''

In Shiho's eyes, Sasaki was reflected like a little Rabbit who would not mind even if a girl was killed in front of him. Shiho's words were the largest humiliation Itto had ever received in his short life.

Besides, Itto wanted [The Worst Assassination Tool].

If he had it, the things important to him would not have to be taken away any longer. 

I want that power. I want to get the man who hurt my beloved sister.

“Even if I die...”

Itto reached for the tablet on the grass once again.

“It's better than living this shitty life.”

He picked it up and put it in his mouth with the intent to commit suicide.

Filled with unease and tension, he broke into a cold sweat.

The medicine took effect instantly.

From the nape of his neck to the crown of his head, he felt  an impact, like a chill.

Dizzy. His ears were ringing.

He sweat even more, and became breathless.

His heart palpated, rapidly accelerating.
