	As she spoke, Guriko’s body gradually became more and more monstrous. Her unique wolf-like hair turned into a shade of blood-drenched scarlet. Her sailor uniform cracked with cackling noises, and her skin became covered with an insect-like carapace. Her limbs elongated, and she suddenly became twice as tall as what she used to be. Guriko’s entire body was thoroughly dyed red. She had become an ~~ominous and yet~~ beautiful idol.		As she spoke, Guriko’s body gradually became more and more monstrous.

You will just pass the Apples to your ancestor, embodied in idea of ‘the tradition of your family’! Even if you discover, seek, and obtain Apples, you will still feel empty inside, right? Of course! Because that’s not your goal! The pawn itself does not feel joy in checkmate. Instead, it is the chess player controlling it who ~~enjoys~~ the game.

	The Snake tottered where he stood. It was truly a pathetic state. He had dedicated his life to the empty goals of ‘a family’s dying wishes’. Had he lost the meaning of true happiness without even realizing it? That was why he was so lonely, so empty.

	Though the Snake’s mind was riddled with confusion, he still roared with pretended strength: “It’s, it’s not that easy to subdue me with just a few words! I believe that I am correct, and I won’t give up on your Apples! That’s right; it’s those three Apples. If I can get your Apples, then I’ll be even closer to eternity!

			She looked at Sakaki and Rinne with a genuine expression that hid her steely resolve within.

			“I have now given the two of you Apples. These are my friends' Apples, and I have protected them for a long time. Because the heart lives within the physical body, you will both retain your body and personality – Gah!”

			Guriko suddenly spat out a large amount of blood. Her regenerative abilities had decreased due to the reduction in the amount of Apples within her.

			Rinne and Sakaki cried out in surprise, but Guriko continued with a smile.

	~~She looked at~~ the ~~two with a genuine expression~~ that ~~hid her resolve within~~.		“An Apple would only unleash its true power when its host suffered a serious wound – no, a fatal wound. It would heal the host’s wounds and reduce pain. That is the power of God. You have now eaten half of God’s soul. The miracles and the distortion of cause-and-effect should also be the power of God - provided that Snake was speaking the truth there.”

	~~“I have now given you Apples~~. ~~They are Apples~~ of ~~my friends’ that I have always protected. Because~~ the ~~heart lives within~~ the ~~physical body, Rinne maintained Rinne’s looks and so had Sakaki –”~~		Although Guriko was fighting the Dream World Beast, she definitely heard the conversations taking place here. That was the result of having her bodily functions massively enhanced by the power of the Apple.

	~~“Gak~~.~~” Guriko spat~~ out ~~a large puddle of blood~~. ~~Her~~ regenerative abilities ~~had decreased due~~ to ~~the decrease in her Apple’s power~~.		“… As long as you have God’s power, Sakaki, you won’t be able to die. The bullets won’t disappear, so you’ll have to dig them out yourself. It would hurt, but you'll just have to bear it. Rinne lost her appetite because her regenerative abilities were strengthened, and it was all because I gouged out your eyeballs. Your Apple began to grow rapidly after that fatal wound.”

	~~Rinne and Sakaki cried out in surprise~~. Guriko ~~continued with~~ a ~~smile: “An Apple would only use its original power when its host suffered a serious wound – a fatal wound~~. ~~It would heal the host’s wounds and reduce pain~~. ~~That is the power of God. You have eaten half of God’s soul~~. The ~~miracles~~ and ~~distortion~~ of ~~cause-and-effect should also be~~ the ~~power~~ of ~~God! That is~~, ~~if what Snake said was true.”~~		Although it had only been two months since that incident, it already felt like a long time agao. For Guriko, it might well have been a lifetime ago. Perhaps that was because she had matured since then. Guriko, who had been stagnant for so long, became more mature after meeting Usagawa Rinne. The Apples she gave Rinne and Sakaki were gifts of gratitude. Without wiping off the blood that continued to spill out of her mouth, Guriko kept talking:

	~~Though Guriko was fighting the Dream World Beast, she had definitely heard the conversations here. That was an effect of body function enhancement, achieved with the power of the Apple.~~

	Although it had only been two months since then, it felt like a long time. For Guriko, it was almost a lifetime ago. Perhaps that was because she had matured since then! Meeting Usagawa Rinne made Guriko, who had been stagnant for so long, more mature. This Apple was a gift of gratitude. Without wiping off the blood that continued to well out of her, Guriko kept speaking:

	~~That was truly what Guriko thought. It was also the answer to the question that Rinne had once asked her.~~

	“I like you, and think that you’re important. That’s the important emotion that I forgot a thousand years ago. I have always lived like a zombie, without any purpose, living like a monster that only knew how to kill Mushi and gouge out eyeballs. After meeting you and able to spend some brief times together, I felt from the bottom of my heart that it’s good to be alive… I’ve sought for you for a thousand years. I received salvation because I met you.”

			Rinne paused and called out to Guriko. She felt like Guriko was about to leave them for somewhere far away. Rinne, who was shorter than the other girl, hugged Guriko. Sakaki also hugged Rinne and Guriko.

	To be ~~correct~~, ~~they~~ weren't called petrol bombs, but then Guriko didn’t know much about such things. All she knew was that the Dream World Beast was finished in just a few ~~blows~~.

			Guriko narrowed her eyes with sorrow, and looked at Sakaki and Rinne's prone figures were lying on the ground.

			“… Sorry. I couldn’t protect the two of you.”

She walked slowly toward the two humans and knelt down quietly. Guriko was covered with blood. Her left wrist was twisted in an odd angle, and fresh blood kept seeping out of the skin. The blood mixed together with the tears that welled out of Guriko’s eyes, and flew past her cheeks like sanguineous tears.

	– Obviously, Snake would never pity Usagawa Rinne, and those words he spoke to her were evidently lies. Snake never intended to save Sakaki. How could he possibly use such a hard-earned Apple on such a fool? Usagawa Rinne was a hopelessly kind human, and at the same time a hopeless idiot. She really did offer up her soul for Sakaki’s sake! Snake roared with maniacal laughter. It was ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, unbearably ridiculous. What a tragedy! What beautiful love! Wasn’t it outstanding?! Wasn’t it touching?!		– Obviously, Snake would never pity Usagawa Rinne, and those words he spoke to her were evidently lies. Snake never intended to save Sakaki.

Snake, who still retained the sensation of pain, allowed a shade of agony to invade his expression. That flying missile did more than simply destroying the gun - it sank into the back of his hand, piercing deeply into his flesh with an agonizing jolt of pain.

			“Uaaaa...”

			Snake hurriedly looked toward the direction of the attack. In fact, he already could guess who it was. The weapon that pierced the back of his hand and drew blood was a spoon. There was only one person whom Snake knew used spoons as a weapon.

			“Gankyū... Eguriko.”

			“... I heard most of what you said thanks to my pretty fine hearing!”

	~~“Uaaaa…”~~		Gankyū Eguriko replied with a sharp voice. She was walking towards the battle from the other side of the road. Her face was covered with blood, and even her sailor uniform was dyed crimson. Her eyes, like gun barrels, were full of anger, and she still sported that unique wolf-like hair cut.

Guriko's voice was full of rage as she swore.

	~~“Gankyū… Eguriko~~.”		“You piece of shit... you’re not even worthy of having me gouge out your eyeballs.”

	~~“… I heard most of it, because I’ve got pretty fine hearing!”~~

	~~Rather than~~ the pain of his wound, ~~Snake tottered~~ more ~~out~~ of surprise. He did not expect Guriko to appear so quickly. Guriko guessed that – Snake originally planned to ~~first~~ take away Rinne’s Apple then attack Guriko~~, who would be fighting~~ a bitter ~~war~~ with the Dream World Beast. He would attack her ~~till~~ she could not keep up ~~with her regeneration~~, and would ~~then slowly~~ contemplate a method to take away her soul – that should ~~cover~~ it!		Snake tottered, not out of the pain of his wound, but more because of surprise. He did not expect Guriko to appear so quickly. Guriko guessed that Snake originally planned to take away Rinne’s Apple first. He would then attack Guriko when she was engaged in a bitter fight with the Dream World Beast. He would attack her until she could not keep up, and he would start to contemplate a method to take away her soul – that should be all of it.

	What a boring plan!		What a boring plan!

	Snake looked towards the sky. The Dream World Beast, which was destroying the city uncontrollably just moments ago, was already gone. Snake’s eyes widened, and screamed ~~as if wondering ‘how can this be’:~~ “Could it ~~be… could~~ it ~~have been destroyed~~?”		Snake looked towards the sky. The Dream World Beast, which was destroying the city uncontrollably just moments ago, was already gone. Snake’s eyes widened and screamed in amazement.

			“Could it be... it is already dead?!”

	“You didn’t ~~discover~~ that? So you were so immersed in your bad taste ~~of an~~ obsessed ~~game~~ and ~~went slack~~ on your surveillance of the surroundings! The Dream World Beat was already destroyed, burnt into ashes by bombs!”		“You didn’t even feel that? So you were so immersed in your bad taste and your obsessed games, and you even slacked off on your surveillance of the surroundings? The Dream World Beat was already destroyed. It was burnt into ashes by bombs!”

	~~“Bomb, bombs…”~~

			“Bomb... bombs...?”

	“Sakaki probably called them! It was probably the US Army stationed in Japan or the Japanese Self-Defence Force. The Air Force appeared and dropped a few bombs, so the Dream World Beast died. Maybe they reduced its power, so there weren’t much of a sound and it didn’t explode – it could even be something called petrol bombs. Although I don’t know much about current military developments – when this country erupted into war some years ago, similar bombs were also thrown on it.”		“Sakaki probably called them!
