Editing Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden:Volume 5 Interlude (section)

===Part 2===

A gait with no strength. Sometimes staggering and sometimes tripping.

She continued down the hallway lightly illuminated by emergency lighting in search of light like a butterfly.

“…………”

……I want to meet him.

……Even though it was this late, she couldn’t help wanting to meet with and speak to him.

 

“''If Ymy-sama has the intention of continuing on as a Priestess from now, she should make the order─''“

 

A slight taste of iron was mixed in where she was biting on her cheek.

I was frustrated……

She felt like what she should consider the most important as a Priestess was being directly denied but she hadn’t been able to counter it which inevitably frustrated her.

 

“''That’s definitely because Ymy-sama has no Sennenshi, you know?''“

 

She put her hand against the wall she staggered to and tightened that hand into a fist.

Not minding something like her nails digging into the palm of her hand, she tightened it to the limit.

“……I have……one.”

She had decided it a long time ago.

He had said they would be together since a long time ago.

“…………”

And then she arrived at a single door.

──Knock, kno……knock.

In her vision blurred by tears, she saw her quivering fist knock on the door.

I won’t use the doorbell. Even though it’s this late and this slight of a knock, I trust that he will respond. To my voice────

Leaning against the wall directly to her side, Ymy waited for that time.

Two seconds, three seconds.

Five seconds, ten seconds……fifteen seconds.

……Even if it didn’t reach now.

……Even if I can’t touch him……for now……it’s fine if he’s just by my side.

She continued that for who knows how long.

The firmly shut door opened without a sound.

 

My most important person────is here────

 

“──Ymy?”

“……Please, Sheltis,”

Staring fixedly at the boy with reddish brown hair’s face, Ymy wiped the tears at her eyes.

“A little while is fine……just a little……please stay with me.”
