Chapter 12


Despairin the lowest level


My parents were a terrible person .


Abuse have become part of the daily life .


The environment was terrible .


My personality was also twisted .


[It’s that brat with the abominable eyes . ]


When my father vomits, he kicks the young me .


As per usual .


My mother also uses violence .


Along with heartless words .


I just had to give birth .


I can’t even kill an unwanted brat here in Japan, or so she says .


At that moment, a violent veil covered my thoughts .


Those bastards, I’ll kill them someday .


Now that I think about it, was that the so called survival instinct?


I’ll be killed if I keep going as it is .


My instinct tells me so .


That’s what I thought .


But one day .


My parents are suddenly missing .


They left me behind .


They just suddenly disappeared .


My uncle’s family took custody of me .


Before my parents disappeared, they told me to call my uncle .


“I entrust the brat to you . ”


My uncle’s family took custody of me with conviction .


I was raised in an environment that I thought was not “ordinary” .


My uncle’s family were kind people .


I decided that I’d be a child without problems .


For these people .


I don’t want to bother these people about me .


Mimori Touka have come to know kindness .


Thanks to my uncle’s family .


I have to be a child without problems .


And then I noticed,


I’ve become air .


I’ve become a mob .


I’ve become harmless .


I’ve become normal .


However, it may have returned before the transfer…


The real – “Mimori Touka” .


v


I open my eyes .


The cold ground .


It’s quite ruggy .


My back hurts .


I raise my body .


[……hmm… . . ]


I look around .


[So this is the Disposal Ruins, huh…]


It’s dark .


It’s too deep .


The darkness .


The status… can I confirm it?


[Status Open . ]


A robotic voice echoed in my head .


I see .


It’s necessary to have enough visibility, huh…


Ah, right…


I move my hand .


I feel around the nearby ground .


Oh .


[Found it . ]


The touch of leather .


My unique item .


I grab it and held it in my hand .


I can feel the jewelry near my thumb .


If I put magic energy in this jewel, it would illuminate, right . . ?


I’m reminded of that time when I use my personal skill on that goddess .


Reminder, it’s that shitty goddess’ commentary .


Magic energy, injecting .


The jewel began to shine a faint light .


The leather bag also emits light along with it .


That’s great .


Really, a feeling of “being able to use magic” .


[Oh?]


It may be weak, my field of vision still became better .


I look around .


Bare rock surface .


A ceiling with intense unevenness .


The ground is also strangely bumpy .


[Rather than a ruin, it’s more like a cave . ]


Hmm?


Is there something?


I stand up and approach .


[—-wha!?]


S, skull…?


Are these from a human?


[Ack~!] (T/N: gross onomatopeia)


Furtheremore, it’s just a half of a skull .


Where’s the other half?


Was it broken into two?


I gulped .


It was broken into two .


By what?


[………]


It’s settled .


“Something” is in this ruins .

My heart is beating like crazy .


That’s right .


This is the disposal ruins with zero survival rate .


Is it because my consciousness that have been half awake has become clear?


The area around my temple began to pulsate .


If you think normally, Mimori Touka will die .


Right here .


The goddess may not be here, but returning to the ground would still be difficult .


Unusual sweat began to spout out .


Die?


Will I die?


I have a bad feeling about this .


The putrid scent of death is drifting everywhere .


The scent of death from this disposal ruins .


Those guys, will I become like them?


Deathly footsteps .


This feeling…


Something, important .


What is this?


That’s it .


The feeling I had when I’m living with my real parents .


I’m about to be killed .


My heart is rumbling .


It’s pulsing became intense .


It’s dangerous here .


My instinct tells me so .


To me .


To Mimori Touka .


Live .


To be alive .


The reason for the warning is immediately apparent .


Suddenly– The brightness has increased .


The surface of the skull becomes orange .


The skull reflects some light?


[———]


It’s coming .


Behind me,


Something,


is coming .


Something that emits orange light .


[Fu shi yu oo… . uooorrrrrrroaaaaa~! shi yu~ oo~ oo~!]


Beast .


Beastly odor .


Stinking odor .


Bicha~ tsu!


Docha~ tsu!


Shuwashuwashuwa… (T/N: apparently, that’s how bubbles sounds .


Something falls on the ground .


Something sounds like its melting .


Did it just melt the ground?


The irregularities in the ground I saw earlier were quite intricate .

Is it because of that shuwashuwa I heard earlier?


What the?


Something is… behind me?


I want to make sure .


But, I didn’t turn around .


The reason is because I’m sure .


The moment I move, I’ll be killed .


My reasoning acted as a brake .


It’s telling me .


Don’t move .


The one who destroyed the breaks— is my instinct .


I started running .


But,


The moment I started running, I fell over…


However, this turned to be my good fortune .


Grazing through overhead– something with a heavy mass .


Wind pressure .


Readjusting my posture, I run .


Only to be blown out by wind pressure .


Just now, did it just–?


Did it just try to hit me?


Did it just try to catch me?


Either way,


My head,


I need to do something,


I should try .


Full speed ahead .


No time to turn around .


Absolutely, no time at all .


The feeling of adrenaline runs through me .


My whole body .


Every cell in my body is scared .


My teeth is now chattering .


Shivering,


Chattering…


It’s still ringing, bit by bit .


I know .


I get it .


I understood .


No .


Level .


Status .


and,


Bloodthirst .


This adrenaline .


That’s right .


The real intent to kill .


It was different from what the goddess have released .


The goddess intends to overpower .


Now, the intent of that “something” on my back–


That’s bloodthirst .


While running, I suddenly realized .


Hurriedly, I hide the leather bag in my uniform .


This light have become a mark .


That’s right .


I’m going to slip in the dark .


…………


That’s why Iask .


Please let me go already .


[Hah… Hah… . Hah . . Hah… . ]


I want to reduce the sound of my breathing .


Breathing is difficult .


My sense of footing have become unreliable .


Thought of being shredded to pieces .


No— such thoughts must be thrown away .


Run away .


I have to escape .


My instinct tells me so .


I don’t want to die .


Right now, what’s controlling me is just my instinct .


Everything was left to my instinct .


Again, it overflowed .


Tears .


Even though, I’m not sad .


Even though, I’m not happy .


It’s just, I’m scared .


[Hah~! Hah~! Hah~!]


……… . .


Eh?


No .


I’m not scared .


There’s a scary thing, but…


The reason for my tears is another emotion .


Emotions I have recently tasted


At that time,


Ga~ tsu!


I’ve stumble upon something that stand out .


In the first place,


It was fortunate that I had been able to run through this darkness until now…


[Gah… Guh!? Hah~ Hah~]


Ah, I see .


I understand .


I’m scared but tears won’t come out .


I look behind .


I turn around .


That’s right .


I’m not scared .


I—-


[Oh, sh*t . ]


I’m frustrated .
