The Pleiades know that they are cowardly, and that they are vulnerable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So he turned a blind eye to Emilia who wanted to believe in him, Beondoris who wanted to save his life, and all their kindness and kindness, and just ran away selfishly.

He didn't know what he was going to do. It's just that the scream was so piercing.

"-I'm going to kill you!!"

Pleiades heard Ram's cries of grief coming from behind him.

The only thing that caught up from behind was the girl who had lost her sister, and her cry of hatred that seemed to tear her body apart.

He plugged his ears and shook his head, letting out a silent cry. He kept on the run.

Keep on the run.

Pleiades was running with all his attention, and he didn't know how long he had been running.

He struggled to breathe, his knees trembled, sweat ran down his chin, and yet he continued to run. If he doesn't keep running, he will be caught up by the unknown feelings behind him.

And, when it catches up, that's when everything ends.

Ram's cries of grief and resentment still echo in his ears.

The Pleiades fled. Fled. He escaped.

The Pleiades can't go back there.

Ram and Rozval won't forgive the Pleiades for escaping, and Emilia and Parker won't trust the Pleiades anymore for stubbornly refusing to speak. In particular, the Pleiades even left behind Beondoris, who had made a pact with him. That girl won't be the Pleiades' companion anymore.

"Me too...... What can I do...... I want to do something about it, too!"

He had no idea why things had turned out the way they were, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

What do you have to do for the world to forgive you?

"I know ...... So look forward to it. ”

He is suddenly summoned to another world, and he can only live in a completely foreign world. In that uneasy world, the Pleiades were ushered into the mansion, which became a resting place for the Pleiades.

That time, that period of time that had only passed for a week, was so lovely and so unattainable for the current Pleiades.

Repeatedly, the world hurt the Pleiades again and again.

- Already, no.

Suddenly, a whisper passed through Pleiades' mind.

-- Is it necessary to continue the effort?

The Pleiades even wanted to entrust everything to the voice in his heart urging him to give up, to the wonderful temptation.

He thought that if he did what he said, he would definitely become more relaxed.

Besides, the Pleiades themselves are people who like to keep things simple.

It's not just people like this, it's every human being.

If both options in front of you are distressing, how about prompting him with a third option?

For humanity, the third option is simply a revelation from above. No one can reproach him for his urge to reach out to him.

The Pleiades felt that the anger quickly began to recede from his head, and the once thumping heart sound also made him feel distant. He felt that his hands and feet had become heavier, and the legs that he had forced to move did not know when they became weak.

The Pleiades almost stopped. It was only then that he noticed for the first time that he was in the middle of a dense wood. He rushed out of the mansion, ran off the forest path, and got lost on the mountain road.

The Pleiades are surrounded by lush, lush forests. Here it is slightly dark, and the sky is even obscured. Pleiades felt that this place was similar to the place of his third death.

Just as he thought about the moment of death, Pleiades felt that the third option became more intuitive.

"If you're dead......"

――Is it possible to be saved? From the current situation.

"Ah, yes. If you die, the situation will change. ”

Pleiades said this dryly, and then he laughed. He thought it couldn't be better.

He died three times. The fourth world reverts everything to the way it was, and then everything repeats itself again.

This time he only picked up one life. This time he had nothing but a life.

He struggled and struggled, and this was the result of his struggle. So what's the point of him continuing to struggle.

"If you want to play, you can play by yourself, I don't care what I do anyway......"

Pleiades bit her lip. He unabashedly expressed his disgust at the existence that had embroiled himself in this troublesome situation.

Negative emotions roll in the internal organs of the Pleiades. When I came to the forest, the vision of the Pleiades suddenly widened.

Stretching out in front of me was a clear blue sky, which was the opposite of the Pleiades' state of mind, open to the heart and hateful. There's also-

"Cliffs. ”

What a perfect, divine instruction.

Only at this time can your wishes be conveyed. The Pleiades couldn't help but give a thankful insult to the heavenly existence.

-- Also, I hope that the stupid and sad Natsuki Pleiades will have eternal peace.

The Pleiades staggered. As if tempted, he walked towards the cliff.

The wind was strong. The wind blew from the front, and the clothes of the pleiades were hunting. The Pleiades looked up at the sky and stood on the edge of a cliff.

If you look down, you will see a cliff more than 10 meters high, with a crag stretching out underneath. If you jump from such a height, you will die.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Looking at the cragfield at his feet, the Pleiades could easily think of his own death.

The nearly forgotten sound of his heart rang again, and his lungs felt like they were cramping, and his breathing was choppy. He was drenched with a lot of sweat. The Pleiades felt chills all over his body. He closed his eyes.

-- If you take one step like this, everything will come to an end.

What would happen to me if I died this time?

Will he return to his first day at the mansion again and start a new round? Even then it doesn't matter.

If you can go back to the first day, there will be Emilia, Ram, Rem, and everybody. The Pleiades can act as a servant of the mansion, get along with everyone as if nothing happened, and then on the fourth day, die in their sleep.

If such days can continue, at least he will be able to live a stable life.

He thought it was a good idea. He felt that there was no better way to redeem himself. Well, it's not that bad to die.

“――”

However, standing on the cliff, his body was completely immobile. Only his knees, trembling like a joke.

Pleiades wanted to stop the trembling of his knees. He reached out and bent down. It was then that his knee fell to the ground. His body fell to his knees and struck a posture that seemed to be prostrating to the sky. The Pleiades bit her lip and lamented her timidity.

"Just, one more step...... I actually ...... It's ...... even such a simple thing."

――Are you so cowardly?

On the one hand, the Pleiades are cornered, and on the other hand, they are weak and unable to decide.

His determination and consciousness were ridiculously fragile. The pleiades squatted down and couldn't stop crying.

He clearly did not know the meaning of his existence, but he was also afraid of death and did not dare to commit suicide.

Pleiades felt that she was too pathetic and too humiliated. His fingers scratched at the ground, moaning incessantly.

Until his physical strength was exhausted, he kept crying, and he was extremely remorseful about his miserable situation.

Closing his eyes, he looked at the scene that appeared in front of him inexplicably, and he felt as if he was having a nightmare.

In the brightly lit room, Pleiades and Emilia sit at the dining table. Rozval sat on the top seat, and Berondoris poured black tea. Beside her, Parker stuck his head in the plate.

Emilia teaches Parker a lesson to messing around at the dinner table, Rem works with her hands and feet, and Ram only takes care of Rozval and ignores everyone else.

For some reason, the Pleiades laughed, and everyone laughed too.

- Pleiades saw a nightmare full of happiness and warmth.

This dream is painful, accompanied by sadness, and brings a sense of loss.

The Pleiades felt the pain of piercing the heart. He was in too much pain to breathe.

“――”

Suddenly, his expression calmed down.

He felt someone hold his palm.

The negative emotions in his heart faded away from the warmth of the palm that held him.

Then he saw the light.

White light, dazzling light. His consciousness seemed to be led by the light.

Then wake up.

"You're sober. ”

When he opened his eyes, he saw a sky dyed orange by the setting sun.

He realized that he was lying on his back on the ground, unconscious. He also remembered that when he was thinking about something, his consciousness seemed to be swallowed up by something, and he lost consciousness.

- I attempted suicide, cried in shame, and then fell asleep from exhaustion.

His behavior can no longer be described as ridiculous, it is simply pitiful. I'm like a baby, no, babies don't make mistakes, babies are a hundred times stronger than their current selves.

"Say whatever you want. ”

"Casual ......"

"Your topic is boring and uninspiring. With a bitter face and deep hatred, you are really hopeless. ”

Beondoris said harsh words and shook off the pleiades' hand indiscriminately.

Beondoris stood on a steep cliff. She was dressed in her usual dress, and she was imposing, which was out of place for this place. The girl's body seems to be attached to a landscape painting, and the two are extremely incompatible.

"It's really unusual that you went outside in such clothes. ”

Betty didn't want to walk in the earthy mountains. If you hadn't come here to make a fuss, I wouldn't have come here. ”

Berondoris straightened the corners of her skirt and said angrily. The Pleiades finally noticed something.

That's why Berondoris came to the outside of the mansion, or even to such a place.

"Why are you ......?"

"What?"

"Why are you here......?

Beondoris obeys the contract to protect the Pleiades. However, Pleiades couldn't even explain everything to Beondoris.

Looking at the Pleiades, Beondoris snorted with a helpless face.

"By contract, my safety will be guarded by me. And you showed such an ugly appearance, and even tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, which undermined Betty's prestige. ”

"It's up to you to keep me safe...... It's only going to be this morning,"

"- I don't remember a deadline. You remember wrong. ”

Béondoris said with one eye closed and looked away from the Pleiades, who was still recalling the contents of the contract. Beondoris wants to continue her contract with the Pleiades, and she even uses the excuse of "misremembering" for this.

This girl is unforgiving, and she can't get along with herself. - She always gave people this impression, but she had the illusion that she was greatly moved by her compassionate appearance.

Beondoris did not give up on herself. In that case, maybe you still have a chance.

"If you still have faint expectations, then you are naïve. ”

"Hmm. ”

Pleiades felt as if he didn't need to give up, and when he thought things were going in a better direction again, Beondoris stopped his fantasies. She said, shaking her head.

"There's nothing you can get back what you've lost, there's nothing more Betty can do, there's no chance you have had to explain to that twin's sister, you've thrown that opportunity away. ”

"I'm ......!"

Pleiades wanted to tell her, "If I could say it, I would have said it a long time ago." ”

If it weren't for that fateful constraint, Pleiades would have explained everything and asked for forgiveness.

Even though he knew that it would not save Ram at all, it was just a peace of mind that he had asked for.

"I'm a fool when things come to this point. Well, I've always been a. ”

The Pleiades have always been talking about the scene, making excuses, always defending themselves, and adopting a wise attitude to protect themselves to live until now.

Physically, mentally, the Pleiades on the cliff have been cornered.

Fled, fled, fled, fled, and now he could stand here.

"Now that you know it's irretrievable...... What are you going to do with me......"

"Even if you die, you have to die where I can't see. So, if you want to escape, I'll help you escape outside the territory. ”

Although Beondoris's words were very harsh, the gentleness in her words touched Pleiades.

Beondoris's expression was cold, and her eyes were as cold as if she were looking at something boring. Even so, the true heart revealed in the girl's words made Pleiades feel too gentle.

What Beondoris said must be true.

If the Pleiades wanted to escape, the girl would agree with his decision and help him escape.

He didn't know what would happen if he fled here, but it certainly wouldn't be worse than what was going on here.

There is nothing more miserable than losing the only place of refuge because of one's own stupidity, and then giving up everything and fleeing.

“――”

The face cut by the wind blade is still oozing blood and still hurting.

Feeling the wound, he finally realized something. He remembered that he had been wounded something similar to this one. It was a sharp pain deep in the soul of the Pleiades.

When he was chased by Rem and fled in the mountains, he cut off all the parts of his right leg below the knee, which was also the Wind Blade. Stroking the wounds on his face, he was sure that the wounds were caused by the same magic on both occasions.

"Is it the same magic to cut off my head at the end...... It's all two people working together, isn't it ......?"

It was only after his death that he finally understood the truth, which blended with his belated despair, making the Pleiades even more painful.

To this day, Ram's mournful roar, her mournful cry of losing Rem, is still deeply imprinted in Pleiades' mind.

That moment, that place, was a watershed moment for the Pleiades.

The Pleiades shouldn't have escaped from the mansion in the first place. Even if he doesn't have the consciousness to endure suffering, he should be face to face with Ram and speak clearly.

He lost the chance to confide in Ram forever.

What had slipped through the hands of the Pleiades once, could never return to him.

- At least, in this world, there is no going back.
