Editing Kamisu Reina:Volume 2 Sakura Kawai (section)

===4===

I was smiling from ear to ear and almost started skipping along.

<i>"Please take good care of Reina Kamisu."</i>

<i>Aah, she wasn't annoyed at me after all! Reina-san needs me!</i>

Suddenly, I heard a scream.

I raised my head to look what was going on.

An instant passed.

In this instant...

A tragedy took place in front of me.


It—

It fell not with the elegance of cherry blossoms, but just like a heavy lump, following the laws of physics, and with a thump.

A warm liquid squirted around and stuck to my skin.



———

Time stopped.



<i>No way.</i>

<i>This is a lie.</i>

As a matter of act, my flow of time was in complete disarray, going faster and slower at random, and it felt much more unrealistic than a dream even ... at any rate, it was a lie.

After all, Reina-san had just told me to take care of her, which clearly was in conflict with the thing that just happened, and, aah, at any rate, this was a lie. <i>What's the deal with ... this? Why did this, huh? I don't get it.</i> At any rate, it was a lie, a lie, and a lie, so I silently laughed aloud.



The hideously deformed <i>something</i> that resembled Reina-san and yet was completely different stared at me.

It stared at me without doubt.

It stared at me with bloodshot eyes.

And it moved its lips and jerked its bloody red tongue.



"—<u>D-O N-O-T F-O-R-G-E-T M-E</u>."


Since there was no sound, I could not hear anything, but it certainly tried to form these words.

Something was clearly out of order. Something was a lie.

This <i>something</i> before me was clearly not Reina-san. After all, it was obviously filthier than anything I'd ever seen. Filthy = Reality? Reality? So it had nothing to do with Reina-san. This <i>something</i> could impossibly be Reina-san. Impossible.

<i>Aah, <b>where</b> are you, Reina-san?</i>

<i><b>Where</b> have you gone? Did you die? Did you disappear because this something stole your soul?</i>

<i>I don't understand.</i>

<i>I don't understand. However.</i>




<i><u>If I don't find the answer, Reina-san will disappear.</u></i>
