I don't know how long it took... Several large containers in the center of the room have been filled...

Iori, who was close to collapse, thought it was over... Little did I know that what followed was the real nightmare...

"Ah~ Today's amount should be up to standard~ It's finally my turn~"

The short-haired woman laughed maniacally as she approached Iori and pressed the scalpel against Iori's lower abdomen.

"Don't... No... Want... "

I don't understand it anymore..."

What?... What is this?...

"Hee-hee-hee... What a good reaction~"

Looking at Iori's desperate look, the short-haired woman licked her fingers obsessively.

Zila.

With a soft thud, Iori could clearly feel that something was cutting her body apart.

"Babble, babble,

babble!" It hurts....

Woo... Why?... Why do you have to suffer like this....

"Why? Because you're not strong enough, of course. Suddenly

, Iori's head sounded again.

This time it sounds different... Every word is crystal clear....

Isn't it a hallucination?... Who the hell is it?...

Already... I can't stand it...

Already... I'm going crazy...

"Iori, look at me.

Hearing this, Iori opened her eyes in pain, but the short-haired woman was gone.

What catches the eye is a flawless nothingness, surrounded in boundless white, and the reflection of itself under your feet is like the surface of a lake.

"Here... Where is it?... Could it be that I've been—

'You're just fainting.'" "

Huh?... You... Who is it?... "Who

else could it be? Of course it's this flower Iori."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the lake beneath Iori's feet suddenly stirred up a ripple, and a pitch-black figure slowly appeared from the center of the ripples.

As the figure approached, the dark shadow on his body gradually receded.

Turquoise double ponytail... Blue eyes....

Indeed, as he said... That man is none other than ... It was herself....

To be exact... It's another self....

"Now, Iori, how long do you want to endure it

?" "Obviously, you can break free at any time, can't you?"

"What?... What are you talking about?...

" "Now I... I can't exert any strength at all... What do I have to do to ?...

" "It's very simple, let go of your true self.

"You're in... What do you mean?... If you can't take off

the necklace..."Do you still have to deceive yourself now, do you still use the necklace as an excuse?"

"I don't understand... I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Haven't you known it in your heart since you took off the necklace last time?" "That necklace doesn't

work for you anymore, doesn't it?

"Admit it, Iori, admit that you're a bloodthirsty monster, accept me, accept yourself, and break free and kill them all."

"No... I'm not... I'm not a monster... "

What are you afraid of?" Are you afraid of yourself like this? Or—"

"You're afraid that people will hate you." 』

“!? "

Iori, let's remember what happened. "

At that time?... You... What are you talking about?... "

You say, of course, the first time I did it.

As she spoke, another Iori pointed to a blank space on the side.

Immediately after, a memory of the past emerged in that blank space.

————————————

That's... When I was seven years old...

On a scorching summer day, the blazing sun shone on the courtyard, and the young self was sitting in the shade of the trees, feeling the cool breeze.

Bai Yu, Liulijia, and Xi are chasing me in the distance....

Nayumi and Ayaka lay on the outer corridor together, building blocks...

Momiji, on the other hand, sat alone in the corner silently reading a book as usual

Iori, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, looked at everyone quietly with a very relieved expression.

Meantime... She also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Sure enough... I still have normal feelings...

That day, I went out with Cangyun and bumped into the bloody scene of dog eating dog... Since then, Iori has doubted herself... (Chapter 43)

Why do you feel excited?... Am you an outlier?...

? Just don't think about it....

If you don't want to... I won't feel that way...

At that moment, a soft touch from her thighs interrupted Iori's thoughts.

It's a little wild cat that came in out of nowhere.

It jumped lightly next to Iori, rubbing its head against Iori's thigh.

The fluffy touch is simply addictive.

"Wow~It's so cute~"

Iori couldn't bear it, and he reached out and hugged it in his arms, gently smoothing his hair.

The kitten was also unusually well-behaved, and did not resist this, and even purred softly, and seemed to enjoy Iori's caressing.

"Hey~"

It's so cute...

If it can get a little blood, it would be even more so -

for some reason... Iori suddenly had such a thought in her heart...

!? ...

No... Not ...

What was I thinking!? ... What was I thinking!? ...

And yet at the moment... Iori couldn't look at the little wildcat with the same gaze she had just now...

Even if you know you can't do that... But Iori still imagined it uncontrollably...

Imagine it being covered in blood....

Imagine it opening its gut...

Imagine it struggling in its own hands...

No... Don't ...

You can't do that...

No, you can't... No—

at this moment, the little wildcat tilted its head cutely.

It's this little action... Completely crushed Iori's last reason....

Unconsciously... Iori slowly clenched the hands that were holding the kitten...

"Hee-hee... Her

eyes lost their highlights, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a low, sinister laugh.

The sound of flesh tearing also sounded...

I don't know how long it took... When Iori comes back to his senses... She noticed that the others were staring at her in horror....

"I... Weaving ?... "

Xi, who was still playing just now, Liulijia and Bai Yu were suddenly scared and sat on the ground for some reason....

Nayumi hurriedly reached out and blocked Ayaka's eyes...

Even Momiji, who has always been calm, left a cold sweat on his face at the moment...

"Eh?... everyone

... What's wrong?...

Why are they all looking at me with those fearful eyes?...

I... Did you do anything?...

Until this time... Iori felt a warm current flowing from her hands...

The pungent smell of blood came to my face... Dripping blood stained the grass beneath your feet....

Iori looked down tremblingly...

The kitten who was still petite in his arms just now... At this moment, it has turned into a piece of flesh...

This is... I did ?...

Don't....

Don't,

ah!
