Harusa didn't die.

For a moment, he thought he was really going to die, and then he realized why the life-saving skill didn't trigger.

Because the gaps between the falling giant claws were staggered, just avoiding him!

"Kotaro ......"

Harusa didn't think it was a mistake.

There can be no such lapse.

Then there is only one answer -

"Why don't you kill me?" he asked the charcoal seller.

Kotaro still had a look of disgust, his face distorted and murderous, but his eyes were blood-red tears.

Then he hugged his head and roared again...... No, cry! The ghosts behind him danced wildly.

Harusa could only watch quietly.

The giant claws all dissipated into mist.

The surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, and gradually it was impossible to even see the worship hall...... No, it's the worship hall that is gradually turning into mist!

The world is collapsing.

It seems that there is nothing else here except people and ghosts.

Harusa noticed that the king, who was supposed to be in the temple, was gone.

Is it dissipated, or is it ......

In any case, it has come to an end.

He walked towards the charcoal seller, who was crying out in agony.

"Kotaro ......" shouted the other person's name, approached it, spread his hands, and slowly hugged him.

"Wilderness...... Why ......" Kotaro didn't resist, but cried and asked, "Why...... How can it be......"

Why did mother and brother die?

Why did my sister become a ghost?

Why...... Must be killed?

He didn't understand.

Although he felt that the man was not lying to himself, he still did not understand.

Field...... It doesn't look like a demon at all!!

If such a field is a demon, then what am I?

What is a ghost? What is a human? Why do people become ghosts? Why do ghosts look so much like people?

Don't understand......

Kotaro wants to protect his sister and save his sister, but ......

You can't kill people!!

"I'm sorry...... Harusa could only reply, "really...... I'm sorry......"

"Wow, wow, wow, ahhh

He looked a lot like a ghost at the moment, but Haruhi felt that nothing looked more like a human than him.

I'm sorry, there's no way to save you.

If I could, I would have done it, but no......

So, only sorry.

I'm sorry......

I'm sorry......

"I'm so sorry......" Harusa muttered as he burst into tears.

Not everyone can be saved.

Not everyone can be saved.

This has been clear for a long time.

But the bitterness faced every time will not be reduced in the slightest.

Even if you have the ability to read files, there will always be things you can't do.

Even if you have more power than reading files, you will definitely encounter more helpless things.

And the least he can do is-

"I will remember you. ”

"Kotaro...... I will remember this name for the rest of my life. ”

"Remember that you are a kind charcoal seller. ”

"I will never forget you...... Until I die. ”

That's all.

It's really ...... That's all.

"...... in the Wilderness"

Kotaro was not comforted.

It is impossible to be comforted.

But...... Maybe just a little bit, I felt a little warmth.

I don't want to die, I want to save my sister, I don't want to die like this at all, it's very, very painful for this helpless ending!

But...... That's the only way to go.

I can only leave this world like this.

It is also a ...... to have someone who remembers himself all the time Proof of having lived once.

"I ...... I don't want to die, ahhhh

"Hmm. Harusa replied.

"I don't want my sister to die...... I want her to turn back into a human ...... Live well......"

"Hmm. ”

"Mom...... Brother...... They didn't do anything wrong either...... I don't deserve to die......"

"Hmm. ”

"The man said he was going to kill you...... But I can't kill anyone......"

"Hmm. ”

You are a very kind person.

Even if you become a ghost, you are still human.

Kotaro ...... To be born as a man, to die as a man.

Harusa hugged each other, listened to each other's last words, and remembered every bits and pieces.

Eventually, the voice of the charcoal seller weakened.

……

Jungo slowly opened his eyes.

He felt that something was wrong with him.

No, it's not some, it's very wrong.

The feeling of the body is completely different from before!

I don't know how to describe it, but what I have to say...... If the previous body is compared to snow, the current body is like water.

More precipitation, more substance, with different powers.

The only flaw is left-handedness.

Left hand no sensation...... This body does not have a left hand.

Then he understood what had happened to him.

To be precise, it's what you've been done.

"The host...... Why?" he asked the beautifully dressed woman in front of him.

The long-haired woman looked at his face with a gentle smile on her face.

"You keep calling me master. ”

"But I didn't treat you like a servant...... Never. ”

"You are what I have created, and you are my continuing being, which is my ...... Son. ”

"At the moment of life and death, it is natural for a mother to let her son live. ”

Jun Go's face was shocked.

He didn't expect that his master would see him like this.

He thought he was just a servant, a tool to kill demons in place of his master.

That's already it, no other ...... is needed He never expected anything else.

He will do whatever she needs him to do, even if it is to death.

To live because of her, to die for her, this is his fate.

Jun Hu has never rejected such a fate, and he feels that it is a kind of happiness, compared to other people who don't know anything, but are just alive and alive, he is extremely lucky to have such a fate and mission.

However, the master ......

"No...... I don't need to live, the master needs to ......"

"I've lived. The beauty in the costume said.

"Now that this little world is collapsing, I remember. ”

"Once upon a time...... I am a real person, and I have experienced my whole life in the real world. ”

"Although that world is many, many times bigger than here, there is nothing to be done about it. ”

"The origin that cannot be changed, the things that have to be done, the cage that cannot be escaped, and the fate that must be obeyed after all......"

"I have lived, I have experienced, I have died in pain, anger, sorrow, hatred, helplessness. ”

"I don't need to experience it again. ”

"Compared to the so-called real world, the days spent in this false little world are more peaceful and happy. ”

"So that's enough. ”

"I'm going to die here again, and you...... If you haven't really lived yet, take my place to see that world. ”

"Maybe it's gotten better, maybe it's gotten worse. ”

"When you die in the future and come to see me, tell me about it. ”

"Master......" Jungo's eyes widened as he saw that the other party was turning into mist little by little!

"Goodbye, my child. The woman smiled goodbye, "Live well in the real world...... It may be tough, but live as happily and happily as possible. ”

"No...... No, master, I don't want it!!, please take this body quickly!!" Jun Hu grabbed the woman, but the latter was still dissolving and disappearing, and the speed was even faster.

"Finally, to be honest with you, I don't like this body, first, he is a man, second, he is missing a hand, and third, he is probably ......" The woman paused, "Forget it, there is no need to tell you this. ”

"Live strongly, King. ”

"No—master, aa

The samurai let out a cry of pain that he had never known before.
