Chapter 39: Go Home

Mendevilel listened quietly to all of Izumi's narrations, and raised his hand to stroke the back of Izumi's head. Once upon a time, the paper ancestor Asuka came here with Mr. Wu's ring, and the three of them made an appointment to go camping together, but now they are ...... Izumi Araba's goggles were casually thrown aside, his hands covering his face, his shoulders shaking, trying to stay calm but steady: "I'm sorry...... Mr. Mendevilell, I was not able to ...... Stop him. If I had been earlier...... I...... Sorry ......"

"It's not your fault, Mr. Arami. If it's Mr. Asuka...... Or Makino, if he really wanted to do that, none of us could find a way to save him. Mendechel's voice was softer than usual, his hand untied the hair tie from the single ponytail, his fingertips ran from the top of the hair to the end, and pressed his head against the soft bed, "How about a rest here tonight?" I'm almost ready, the bed can be made for you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, I can't disturb Mr. Mendechel, I'll go back first......" Izumi Huangbo's head arched on the quilt for a long time, and his red eyes were particularly obvious under the eyes that had all turned into blue crystals, he took a few deep breaths, wiped his sleeves and stood up with wet eyes, "...... It's that I didn't notice Asuka-kun's problem...... I'll take responsibility, Mr. Mendevilchel, and I'll go back first. ”

"Mr. Arami."

Mendechel's gentle voice was mixed with a bit of seriousness, he frowned and took Izumi Arabata's hand, and whispered to meet his puzzled gaze: "It's not something to be proud of to take the responsibility too much on yourself. There are some things that Mr. Arabami can't solve, and even if you find out, you'll be even more upset because you can't change him, right? Sometimes, this is also a kind of respect for others, after all, it is his own choice of fate, does Mr. Araba want to change Mr. Asuka? In that case, he wouldn't be Mr. Asuka, but someone else. ”

"I know that's true, but at least I want to know what made him the way he is." Izumi Huangbo looked away, "...... Now that I think about it, the Asuka-kun I saw had always been that stubborn look, but before I could get to know him better and better, he left. Seriously, I don't dare to go back, and I'm the only one in the dormitory. ”

"Ah, is Mr. Araba being coquettish?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, I'm going back, please rest soon. ”

Izumi walked out of the room quickly and closed the door. The hallway lights went off several times, and when they detected a person, they quickly turned on again, leaving only the floor and walls in the shadows. Now that the lights were almost out, the family and the base staff had left after a few more words in the rooms they were going to visit, and he could occasionally see a few familiar people, and thenβ€”he stopped in front of Fumitsuki Otani's hospital room. Fumizuki Otani was not found during the entire operation, and it was only later that he was found in a place in the suburbs covered in bruises, his legs and hands had been cut off, his tongue had been cut off, and his eyes and ears had been pierced. Judging from the confession he gave when he was sober, he was betrayed by the paper ancestor Asuka and was lynched by the Eternal Life Society, turning him into a "human" existence in the story. If the troops had arrived any later, he might have been dead or missing.

And Ishida Nanase, as the person who cares about him the most in the base, got off the hospital bed to find him regardless of his injuries when he heard the news, and stayed in the ward until he was taken away by the nurses and doctors, of course, this is what he experienced in a coma, and she didn't want to show him her unexpected fragile side, even if her heart for Fumitsuki Ohtani was already known to everyone. As for Eitsuki Otani's father, Eitsuki Otani, came to see him, but the specific situation is not very clear, and their relationship has always been a little tense, or a little mechanical-"Mr. Ohtani's desk has never been photographed with the minister's family?" However, I have heard that the minister's elder brother Masatsuki Otani died a few years ago, and his wife Tsukino Mito also committed suicide, so I think I value this only remaining son so much. "Paper Zu Asuka did talk to him about this topic before...... Ah, it's the paper ancestor flying bird again, he only feels dizzy in his forehead, and he has a breath in his heart when he mentions this name, and he doesn't know whether to spit or swallow.

He shook his head and swept past Fumitsuki Ohtani's ward and went downstairs, and the display on the wall next to it showed that there was still 1 minute and 27 seconds (this number was constantly beating) seconds The hospital will lock the door, and it is recommended to take the elevator. Izumi didn't look at it, but quickly rushed to the door, only to notice a thin back.

Rika Kawashima...... It's her again.

"So aren't you protected by three layers?" Izumi was a little embarrassed.

"I can, come out." Rika Kawashima replied calmly with a wink, as if it was normal for her to come and go at will, she spread her hands, "Restraint, no, no." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ and thou shalt ...... in Sodom."

"The time has come." Rika Kawashima raised her hand, "Prisoner, heart attack, dead, escape." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Did you isomorphize his heart? ”

"Yes."

Even killing people looks calm...... It's really hard for Izumi to guess her psychology, but now he's too tired to empathize with anyone. "So what are you doing here? Sabotage of hospitals? Don't want to, right? If you don't want to, go back to rest with me, and the kids should go to bed......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No. Izumi Aranba, accompany me. ”

"What do you want me to do......"

Kawashima Rika dragged Izumi Akiha's hand and ran to the hospital, although Izumi Akiha's strength was always greater than that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but he still couldn't withstand a vigorous tugging and didn't want to hurt her, so he could only follow her into the hospital at the last moment when the hospital door was locked. Now even if he wants to go back and sleep alone, he can't do it, so he can only show a bitter smile and pat Kawashima RikΓ©'s head: "Do you want to go to the doctor?" There is no doctor left at this late hour. ”

Rika Kawashima looked at him with a strange gaze, and the strength of pulling him increased unabated, and the stairs were all blocked at this time, and they couldn't even go upstairs, and the wards were all locked with certification, only the nurses and robots on night duty were there. Rika Kawashima bent her waist, her calm gaze became sharp for a moment, she turned around and led him into the hall very close to the library, and then stretched out her hand - the wall was faintly shining with green light, she hit the wall, and most of her figure actually disappeared into the wall, Izumi Arabo wanted to scream and quickly covered his mouth, and his body entered the wall together. What followed him was a green space, green with tattered but well-equipped walls, bookshelves and beds, large tables, and ...... Alone? It's just that I can barely see the outline of a person, with a single ponytail and an apron...... It looks harmless, and it's completely different from the same crystalline I've seen before.

"It's ......"

"Home." Rika Kawashima took off her shoes and bowed, and at some point the clothes on her body turned into a green kimono, as if she were a Zashiki boy described in an ancient book, and she introduced to the human-like Tongjingko, "I'm back, Mom." Izumi Arami, my friend. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah, what...... Ah, well, you...... Hello......? It's rude......"

Izumi didn't follow the brain circuit, but he bowed in disbelief, took off his shoes and put them next to the small leather shoes and stepped into the room, and Akako, whom Kawashima Rika called his mother, stepped forward and led him to the middle of the room, where a small round table rose from the middle of the floor, on which were the inedible Tsukimi dumplings and two cups of hot teaβ€”images that only appeared in books and TV dramas. Rika Kawashima crossed her legs and held the tea in both hands, but she didn't drink it (or she couldn't drink it), but shook her head and asked softly, "What does Izumi Arana want to know?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What do I want to ...... No, why is it like this? ”

"Once upon a time, it was home."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Once. ”

"Daddy......" Rico Kawashima's gaze couldn't help but drift to her mother, and she buried her face in the tea that would not rise and fall on the water, "...... Mom doesn't want it, Dad wants it, Son of God, hit ,...... Mom, so, forever. I, Mom, like, leave, hate ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Daddy made Mom like this, and then you put Mom ...... Uh, moved here? ”

"Hmm."

Rika Kawashima nodded, wrapping her arms around her mother's waist like a child who was truly dependent on her mother, and her mother raised her hand to stroke the top of her hair.

"Izumi is very afraid." She said suddenly.

Quan Huangbo shook his head: "I'm not afraid." ”

"It's not Mommy, it's It's Paper Ancestor Bird, and ...... And, Makino-sama, Dad, I'm afraid. …… Disaster, the time has come, comes, so. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, let you find out, but even if you tell you, it doesn't matter...... However, I'm going back tomorrow, back to the third floor. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I understand. I don't know if Rika Kawashima listened to it, but she did nod seriously. She raised her hand, and the table turned into a paper Zhiju theater, with three small people inside, looking like a family. The father has a small beard, the mother has a gentle smile, and the daughter has short hair. In the background is a bunch of people with crooked S's painted on them.

"Before, dad and mom, me, everybody...... Everyone, very happy, good, then, and then ...... I'm going to become a god son, but my mother doesn't want it, so ......" Rika Kawashima's expression was inexplicably sad, "...... Later, Makino-sama ...... Then, together we ...... I hate it, but Dad wants to ...... Everybody wants to. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Izumi patted her head silently. He was clearly twelve or thirteen years old, but now he couldn't even speak a complete sentence, and could only barely describe his situation in a more childish tone than this. What has she been through like this? He couldn't imagine it at all, and certainly didn't dare to imagine it. The messenger must have existed to save someone like herβ€”for a moment he suddenly thought. Even though Rika Kawashima is the "Divine Son" of the Unforgivable Eternal Life Society, in the end, ......

…… After all, she is also one of the victims. Today, too, do you feel lonely to come here, or do you feel lonely for "yourself" who has also been left behind?

In that case, what are Yoshitaka and Shoji doing...... He didn't know at all, he had been carried away before, and he hadn't even been able to care about his companions. If my nerves were still tense, I wouldn't have been able to remember it. Izumi Arabo sighed again.

The small man with a long ponytail condensed by the isocrystals on his fingertips when Izumi raised his hand looked a little blue under the light of the isomorphic crystals of the forest green, but he stood well in the middle of the paper zhiju, and then there was a timid villain with long hair, a triumphant villain with a high ponytail, a gentle villain with curly hair, and ...... He thought about it, but still put the little man with messy hair in the corner.

When she came back to her senses, Rika Kawashima was already asleep in her mother's arms.
