Assassinations, assassin and love doesn't mingle with each other... - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Brought to you by Noir
An assassin should always be chaotic. It should not have a specific gender in the records. It should be able to quickly adopt the bias of anyone and everyone.
And above all, an assassin should always have a sense of humor. That humor holds the conscience of the assassin. For the tasks it would be tasked to do can easily destroy it. Every moment is riddled with the fear of death. No human is afraid of death. However, humor can help you look at it as it is without much worry.
I (the assassin) wake up in a dark room.
Upon waking, I started to assess the situation I was in.
The body was spread in a cross position, with my hands tied, even my legs… I can’t even move my neck.
The room is dark, with only a screen in front of me.
Rather, it was the only thing I could see in front of me.
“So you have awoken. How was your sleep? Someone, not Eita, in Eita.”
I see, as expected, there were listening devices. However, that voice…
“Are you Yosora sensei?”
“And who are you in Eita’s body.”
“…”
“Well, we don’t actually need to know. So no worries.”
“We?”
“Yeah, we. I am still holding myself back. Trying not to kill you. Since that is Eita’s body.”
A different voice came in.
But it was a real surprise since…
“Is that —Kei? Arggghhh! haaah haaah–”
“Only Eita is allowed to call me like that.”
This crazy girl was digging a pin right on my little finger.
*drops of sweat come out as I withstand that pain gritting my teeth and giving out heavy breaths.
“haaah haaah, the-n what do you want me to call you —”
“You don’t need to call me. Since you will be disappearing in a while.”
“What does that —”
and then again, a known voice cuts me in between.
“The instrument is ready, Yosora-sensei, Kei~.”
That voice…
“I thought you were not someone like this —– Nisha.”
*after a slight pause…
“ahahaha, even I didn’t think I was like that. But something changed in me when I thought Eita would go away from me forever.”
Well, I don’t feel any more presence apart from them, so…
“What are you going to do to me, —Nisha? Given it’s you, I think you can do something impossible quite easily.”
“Oho~ Thank you so much for the praise. So you are also quite the womanizer~. I see, so you must have caught a glimpse of Eita-kun’s memories about me. I wonder what Eita felt about me. Even though I say it like this, I think I am pretty level-headed — at least from those two maniacs in this room—-
—- However, please don’t speak to me as if we are long acquaintances.”
“So, is this some sort of hypnotism?”
“Hue? Hypnotism? What are you? Perhaps you existed around the late 20th and early 21st? We are already close to the end of the 21st, you know? Don’t you think there will be better technologies?”
“Surely.”
“Ahhh, it’s such a pain to explain. But don’t worry, it won’t be painful. You will just feel more and more oblivious as time goes on. And before long, you will just stare into the black space with no mind or, simply, a feeling of time. Probably that would be the most correct explanation of what we will do to you?”
“That sounds quite scary by itself.”
“Don’t worry, it will all be okay. When you are conscious again, you will feel like there was no gap between this time and that. No worries. Well, this is far more optimal than that long-scrap hypnotism technique. This way can even be used to make one forget a specific qua—”
“Nisha, we are not attending your lectures here.”
“Sorry, sorry, even though I said it was pain~. So well. I am sorry for you, mister. but.”
“Well, I thought Kei was killed right then, and here she is, alive. And then Nisha. There were a lot of surprises already. It’s okay. Please proceed.”
“Wait a minute there, Nisha.”
“Kei-nee?”
“What does he know about that night. What did Eita feel? I need to know before he is gone. So, tell me that now. The man in Eita’s body. ”
“Hey now, is that how you beg someone for something?”
“I don’t need to beg. I can even extract it without asking. I thought it would be easier to just ask you. But if you don’t want to—”
“Bite me, lady. If you think you can. I don’t mind cleaning off Eita’s memories white.”
“””- ———————-“””
There was a momentary silence. It felt like the ambiance was getting cold all of a sudden.
“—Please say how E—”
“In a Seiza.”
“–DAMN YOU! EVEN THOUGH YOU WILL BE G—”
“You are wasting time here, lady.”
“I will kill you.”
“You are not in command here, lady. You were the one who hurt Eita. You were the cause of all his troubles, even for this situation we are in right now. —Moreover, do you think I will say Eita’s most hidden feelings to someone as hideous as you? As you thought, Nisha, Eita is filled with immense potential. However, She, this lady over here, was the one who killed him.”
Her head hangs down immediately after hearing that from me. In that visible light that illumined the space, albeit a little, I see teardrops starting to escape from her.
“What could I do?”
“…”
“WHAT COULD I EVEN DO!”
“What do you mean. Are you trying to get pity after killing your parents?”
“———-”
“No words?”
“They—They had already left us long before.”
“What does that mean.”
“Right in the flight, —they were coming to congratulate me on my success.”
*Kei was on her ground, her hands holding, hugging her head in despair.
She narrates the event that led to what happened that day in a monologue.
The events that led to that tragedy.
The missing piece; her own perspective on what caused the events on that dark day.
