......

Countless precious memories that had left a heavy mark in Wesley's life resurfaced, and those people, those things, countless fragments lined up in front of his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere, Wesley saw his father who was always silent, his mother who was always secretly sad, Carol who always brought bursts of laughter among his friends, Harley who silently guarded these "juniors", and among the countless fragments of time piled up, the figure that appeared the most was undoubtedly Camui.

Someone who used to be the most disgusting to him, but also the one that worries and worries him the most.

"Kamyi ......"

Chewing on the name, the past is leisurely vivid, the laughter they experienced together, the sadness they experienced together - it was probably only Wesley himself who would be sad, and everything appeared at this moment, as if only twenty years of life had been lived again in a few seconds.

- You are my most cherished friend.

Wesley has not said this sentence to Camui in person, once because the other party has never regarded him as a friend at all, and it is only boring to say such things. And since Kamuyi's "makeover", the purpose is to quickly improve himself, and hard training has made him have no time to say this, no, this is just an excuse, he just doesn't know what kind of expression to use to face him, what tone to use to say this.

When I'm older, my face is thin.

――I'd like to tell you that.

"Wesley, it's time for us to go!"

In his melancholy, he sighed because of all the old things that appeared in front of him, and the sad Wesley couldn't bear to look at the past anymore, and in his ears, Carlo's cheerful voice suddenly came.

"Wesley, you're doing well, it's time to rest. ”

This was followed by Hallie's voice, which at first glance sounded very cold, but Wesley understood that this "big sister" who always protected herself and others with tough armor and shields had a warmer heart than anyone else.

"Whew...... Well, it's time to go. ”

Finally, he glanced at the scroll of past events floating in front of him, raised his head, and took away all the resentment and anger, all the unwillingness and remorse in his body with a melancholy sigh.

"Come on, Kamyi. ”

With a smile on his face, the young mage stepped into the endless light following behind the bouncing Carol and Harley, who had taken steady steps step by step.

......

......

......

"Although I am very young, I have killed hundreds of people so far, and this is the first time I have seen you like me. ”

Although he often used humility and honorifics, it gave the impression that the unruly Assassin blinked his clear eyes that could confuse most people in the world, and continued to look at Wesley in front of him with earnestness.

"It's not that I haven't seen people who 'sacrifice their lives for righteousness' for the lives of others, but there is often a considerable degree of unwillingness in their eyes...... But how could you!...... Such a beautiful, ahh......h I want to know......"

The sharp dagger and the arm that clenched it pierced Wesley's body, and there was no doubt that the assassin was aiming at the heart this time, but this time, instead of deliberately choosing to penetrate the vital point from behind, this time his attack was launched from the front.

“...... Tick. ”

The blood was gone, and life had long since disappeared from the cooling body, except that some of the questions that the Assassins cared about would never be answered with Wesley's death.

"It's not so much that you pierced your heart from below, but rather that you crashed into it yourself, and even if you die, you still have to buy time for the person you want to protect? It's sensible, but it's also stupid. Rational because you know that you can't escape from my hands, and stupidity is...... You think that's enough time for the rest of the man to escape?"

The habit of talking to oneself was inherited from the master, but the young assassin was still too "young" compared to his own teacher.

"It's impossible to let him escape, after all, he's the 'main target' this time, ahhhhhh......h

"Poof!"

The retracted arm brought out a lot of broken flesh from Wesley's body, and the Assassin, whose entire arm was already red with blood, had a ghostly smile on his face, and used his other hand, which had been holding the black scarf, to catch Wesley who had fallen with him, and groped for him.

"Oh, I found it. The arc of the smile went up a notch, and the assassin who found the "information card" from the deceased looked very satisfied, "Two ...... Oh, just a little bit of 'heavy hands' on a whim, where did the card on that little girl's body fly? Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway, this kind of 'little character' won't have much money on her body......"

Pushing the deceased's body aside, the number on the Wesleyan card made the Assassin frown slightly, and as he spoke, he gradually restrained his smile, allowing his body, which had not felt the slightest fatigue, to continue to be active.

"Then the hunt continues!"

This time, he simply threw away all the tattered black clothes on his body, revealing a man who was too conspicuous for an assassin to swing his dagger in the air, making it reappear sharp after drinking blood.

The hunting game of the Grim Reaper continues, and something like "prey that escapes by chance" can never be in the hands of "their".

Because they are "hunters", the prey targeted by the top hunters will never be given the right to escape.

......

......

......

Wesley...... Carol...... Hallie......"

The position of the moon shifted slightly, and the minutes were passing by minute by second, and at this moment, Kamyi, hidden in the thick of the trees, gasped for breath as he repeated the names of his companions maniacally, and again.

- I abandoned them again.

Thinking of this, what appeared in my mind was the picture I saw when I suddenly looked back after being "knocked away" by Wesley: Carlo, who was supposed to be standing there, was gone, and the blood-soaked "monster" was walking towards Wesley.

"Damn...... If I...... I can be stronger!"

With the words "shouldn't have come out of his mouth", Kamui, who had mixed emotions, slammed his fist into the trunk.
