Towards that Shizuku, Nia er was stabbed into Shizuku’s back

[Agu~!? Ni, Nia? Wh, why……]

[……………]

With an expression like she couldn’t believe what happened and grih her back, Shizuku looked down at Nia as clinging to her

Her expression no longer had the cheerful look nor the falance expressionlessly back at her

Shizuku finally noticed it at last At first, she thought Nia’s state was due to the Kingdo invaded, however that wasn’t it, her athts and soldiers which surrounded her, there was definitely a different reason for this

Nia held onto Shizuku’s arround, she then attached shackles which sealed her ic just like all the other students had

[Ahahaha, as expected even for Shizuku, surely you didn’t think that that child would turn against you? Un un, that’s probably right? That’s why I purposely took tih her back and gritting her teeth on the cold ground, Shizuku realized that soh she didn’t want to adht now, she called out to her close friend who had an unusually unpleasant sht, that person as modest and quiet, attentive and kind-hearted, Shizuku and their trusted companion which they shared their joys and sorroith, it was that person, Eri Naka severe injuries, the students ere targeted and still alive could do nothing but have an expression filled with agony, they watched Eri’s expression as she walked calrand an to laugh oddly in a off her glasses, she pulls on thecollar which was placed on Kouki’s neck with an attractive sh not to the extent of Shizuku and them ere his childhood friends, Eri as one of his companions and close friend had a far too different atmosphere around her, Kouki desperately questions her while enduring the pain of the shich ran through his body However, Eri had a delirious expression which contained heat within it and disregarded Kouki’s question

Then,

[Aha, Kouki-kun, I~caught~you~]

while saying so, she placed her lips on top of Kouki’s Within the strange silence which surrounded the area, a vivid sound of water lapping could be heard Eri was crazily releasing her e it up for years towards Kouki

Although Kouki couldn’t understand as going on, he was desperately trying to shake free but, he was suppressed by several people, along with thecollar, like all the other students he also had his hands and feet bound as well, moreover his poas sapped froh his body

Was she finally satisfied, Eri separated her lips while creating a silver thread Then, with and ecstatic expression in her eyes she licked her lips and started to stand up slowly, she then glared at the students ere being held down and bleeding Absentonized expressions were lined up When she saw such a spectacle she nodded in satisfaction, her eyes stopped towards Shizuku and she ss Shizuku]

[~…What do you mean…Kofu~…]

With an expression which showed she didn’t understand, Shizuku volared at Eri, Eri shook her head with an expression that said, an to talk about the reason as if she was talking to a baby

[U~n, you don’t know huh? You see, I’ve alanted Kouki-kun That’s why, I did as necessary to obtain him It’s as simple as that]

[……If you liked Kouki then…if you’d confessed then…this kind of thing…]

Towards Shizuku’s rebuttal, for a an to talk and returned a sain

[It’s useless, useless, use~less Confessing is useless Kouki-kun’s kind-hearted so there’s no way he’d see soe with no value around his surroundings, he wouldn’t leave them alone because he’s too kind-hearted That’s why, in order to et rid of all the garbage in the surroundings]

You can’t even understand that? as Eri shrugs her shoulders like it was a foolish thing Although they were Being called garbage, they didn’t have e For the person in front of her to have changed this irl as if this was the first tiood that ere sent to a different world In Japan, it would have been truly difficult to clean up the garbage, it was harsh living there Of course, I won’t allow us to be sent back after this war is over Along with Kouki-kun, the both of us will continue living here for ever~and~ever~]

While looking at the laughing and giggling Eri, a sudden iuess came into Shizuku’s mind and she unintentionally voiced it out

[…It can’t be…the reason the large barrier…broke so easily was because…]

[Ahaha, so you’ve noticed? Right, It was e barrier]

It appears that Shizuku’s worst case scenario was spot on The reason why the Majinzoku was able to arrive at the outskirts of the Kingdoe barrier, everything was due to Eri Eri’s line of sight was interestly looking at the soulless soldiers and knights that were standing by her side, she would probably let theuys, I wouldn’t be able to stay in the Kingdoer…That’s why you see, I contacted the Majinzoku, guiding the Kingdoh the people from another worldThis line’s iffy, ???????????????, I’ll send the knights which I turned into puppets to the devil’s lands as tributes, then it’ll only be me and Kouki-kun left around]

[Impossible…to contact the Majinzoku…]

Kouki somehow recovered from the shock of the kiss, he muttered with an expression which that showed he couldn’t believe it Eri had been training together with thee barrier the Majinzoku wouldn’t be able to get in, it shouldn’t be possible to contact the to believe in Eri

However, Eri easily shatters his hopes

[The Majinzoku woman who attacked us at [Orcus Great Labyrinth] While leaving I quickly did it, Necromancy that is? As I expected, the Majinzoku came to recover her body, so I used it Froot cold feet If what I proposed was rejected and I was murdered instead…unintentionally, I had used Necromancy…I didn’t want to be doubted so I showed my necromancy to increase their iht…]

According to Eri’s words, she perfore for the Majinzoku ould come and look for her since she didn’t return Due to this, Mikhail had kno Cattleya had died In addition, she coh a suitable "human’s" dead body

When Eri’s story was heard, Shizuku remembered about Eri’s Necromancy and her face which was already pale froic which acts on residual thoughts()of the corpse She concealed the fact that she could actually use it perfectly If that’s so, all the knights and soldiers who looked soulless that were surrounding Shizuku and them, the worst possible situation ca her down

[The reason…for these guys…appearances is…]

[Of course it’s because of Necrorit her teeth as she was told the cruel answer and a desperate rebuttal was voiced

[…That’s a lie…the undead…cannot talk back……They shouldn’t…be able to!]

[Look, that’s because oftheir lifetiinal through Necroruity re within a day, there I began to worry about what to do…one day, a person offered their cooperation A beautifully silver haired person I was surprised that my plan was found out, in that instant, I prepared s…It wasn’t certain that I was being accused at the tih I couldn’t trust thee of them instead~]

Really, in such a hurry~, Eri pretended to be wiping away her sweat Most likely, there ht have been various processes which had to take place, but she didn’t show any signs of explaining the’s close aid so I’ed person though Ma~a, thanks to that I was able to quickly push forward ht! I won’t waste everyone’s deaths I’ll properly~, recycle theinally, they only act on residual thoughts through necromancy, but if you take in the consideration of the dead person’s intent while still alive, the residual thought’s would be coated in ht back to life, they’ll ician wants, alternatively in a here techniques are used to possess a corpse and

Their performance is normal, it’s uncompared to while they’re alive, they won’tability of their own Of course, if you give an order like "Keep attacking" they’ll continue, they’re able to keepeven without detailed instructions

In other words, when Nia and José talked with Shizuku and them, they had no ability to think, it should be ih necroruity, the technique which Eri called "Bind Soul", it’s a technique which adds h extracting the remains of the spirit

This was basically an ability to interfere with the soul That is, Eri e of God’s ic on her own Definitely a cheat, she often said that she was unsuited for Necroenius-class talent is definitely so that deserves astonishment Alternatively, it may be due to her immense drive towards her obsession

By the way, the reason why Eri didn’t immediately kill her classmates was because "Bind Soul" could only be used once at a time immediately after death

[Gu~u…stop it…Eri! If you do those things…I…]

[Won’t forgive ht you’d say so Kouki-kun is kind-hearted right Besides, no e I clean up…that’s why, I’ll also properly use "Bind Soul" on Kouki-kun, I’ll be able to turn you intooutit an to embrace herself and writhe her body with a nyer the appearance of the calirl as in the book coone insane "Bind Soul" was a skill specifically made to ease and further increase the Necro out instructions, however there is no change that a puppet is only a puppet Once you understood that, still, she didn’t seem to mind that kind of Kouki

[Lies…that’s a lie! Uu, Eririn is, th…there’s no way Eri would do this! …surely…so manipulated! Come to your senses Eri!]

Suzu as Eri’s best friend shouted out with a distorted expression while panting in pain She was scratching at the grounds with her hands as if she was trying to craards Eri Eri turned towards Suzu and looked her straight in the eye with a smile And she sloalked towards the closest person as laying on the ground, Kondo Reiichi

Kondo possibly felt a bad preet even a little bit further away fro Naturally, he was perfectly held down, the only thing he could do was screaic was sealed as well

Eri who caain treave hi their voices, [Stop!] [Stop it!]

[St, stop!? Ga~a, ah, agua…]

Kondo’s ain stabbed into Kondo’s back but this tih Kondo struggled and showed tenacity because of his strong status, his ether

Eri placed her hands on Kondo and began to mutter a chant After she coic name "Bind Soul", a semitransparent Kondo overlapped with his own corpse

Just after that, the knight as holding down Kondo got up andanxiously, Kondo whose heart should have been destroyed, slowly lifted his body up, he stood up with a soulless expression just like the surrounding soldiers and knights

[Yes~ One puppet’s been coht voice resounded as the other students looked at Kondo with surprise as he stood still silently and expressionlessly Just now, one person was finally killed, towards the scene of death they couldn’t even voice out their thoughts

[E, Eri…why…]

Towards Suzu who voiced out a question with a shocked expression, Eri voiced out the worst possible conclusion

[Ne~e, Suzu? Thank you? Japan and even here, you were very convenient to use to stay nearby Kouki-kun?]

[……Eh?]

[I give up? The atmosphere between Kouki-kun as he was around Shizuku and Kaori was too much If you approached carelessly, other women would drill holes into you…because we had no powers on that side, it was aclose In that respect, I was thankful for Suzu’s existence You seeht no matter how foolishly used and exposed you were? Even if I approached Kouki and them no one would complain about it Thats why, the position of "Suzu Tanimura’s best friend" was truly convenient Thanks to you, I was able to stay close to Kouki-kun over on the other side and even when in a different world we got to be in the same party… un, Suzu was really~ convenient! That’s why, thank you!]

[……Ah, uu, ah…]

Fro breaking within Suzu ranged out Suzu learned that her best friend which she had been together with and believed in all the tiht of the escapism within her eye disappeared

[Eri~! You’re-!]

Towards the overboarding words, Shizuku yelled out in anger Nia as turned into a puppet pulled up Shizuku’s head by her hair and pounded it onto the ground However, as if she was stating, what about it, Shizuku’s eyes flared up in anger

[Fufu, you’re angry huh? That expression that you’ve got is very good I extremely hated you Your face fit in so naturally besides Kouki-kun and even your eyes carried a sense of condescending attitude, I hated everything about you That’s why, for you in particular, I’ll be giving you a special role]

[…a role…you say?]

[Kufu, ne~e? What kind of feelings would you have for killing your best friend after finallytiuessed what Eri was planning to do

[…It can’t be, Kaori!?]

As if saying, You did well!, Eri began clapping her hands together with a soing to try and umo but…there’s a person who said, I would love to have that person as a puppet! I had been helped in various ways, so I decided to give theh with their pro around! Gofu~…aguu~a!?]

While enraged, Shizuku who tried to e the wound which was inflicted on her, Nia’s blade sunk further in

[Aha, is it painful? hurts? I’ht now, I’ll relieve you of your pain…]

This ti smile she compromised Kouki and them desperately tried to resist as an illusion of Shizuku beco a puppet like Kondo came into their minds

Kouki’s resistance in particular washis voice, cracks began to appear on the 5shackles which were on hih" and "Supre it lol, ??", terrifying pressure began to overflow frohts whose brain lith uncomparable towards their lifetime and perfectly held down his joints, it wasn’t possible to immediately shake them off Kouki’s expression became crossed with despair

Shizuku was desperately focused her conscious which was fainting because of the a, she decided that until the finaldirectly into Eri’s eyes with fierce anger until she averted her eyes

At that, Eri looked down on her with a smirk on her lips, did she want to perform the last rites herself in the end, she received a sword fro to be your friend see at Eri, inside of her heart she was looking towards her best friend Although she knows it’ll likely not reach her, still, thinking about the tragedy that was to coave her prayers to her best friend as on a trip somewhere in the world

(I’m sorry, Kaori The next time we meet, please do not trust hts shich was invertedly held in her hand reflected thea wooden stake into a vaht down quickly towards Shizuku’s heart

While watching the approaching danger, Shizuku prayed Please allow my best friend to survive, please allow her to obtain happiness Although I’ll be going on ahead, the deadyou, but because he is near you I’ain happiness with your beloved person…please…

Fadingly, the world began to pass by sloithin Shizuku’sbefore an to think that the sould now pierce through, her life

………was not taken

[Eh?]

[Eh?]

Eri’s voice sounded out along with Shizuku’s

The knights shich Eri brought doas stopped by a barrier which was the size of a palm The tere completely stunned at what had happen, heard the voice of so driven into a corner, the voice was full of i happiness for, her best friend’s voice [Shizuku-chan!]
