When I Was Presumed Dead, They Became Unhinged Unknowingly - Chapter 18

I told her where I was and what I was doing, without mentioning Kyoka, my backstory, or the fact that I said that I wanted to die. 

I don’t know what she will do if I mislead or lie to her any more.

One by one, I slowly told her, and all the while she had an ominous smile on her face as she listened to me.

When I finished telling her everything, she slowly digested it, and spoke,

“I see…………This means, shouldn’t I probably kill that person?”

“……what?”

“I mean, I was going through such a hard time, and that person was happily monopolizing Onii-chan, right? I might not be able to forgive her.”

“Th-That’s….”

“I was bitter, lonely and freezing cold without Onii-chan, and she was getting her head stroked and hugging you, right? Even though Onii-chan is mine.”

Sakura was still smiling and laughing, but her eyes were overflowing with bloodlust.

“I suffered so much that I almost died from worry, you know? And yet, that b**ch was getting spoiled by Onii-chan, unforgivable.” 

“…sorry, Sakura.”

“No, it’s not your fault, Onii-chan. Onii-chan did nothing wrong.”

Sakura kept smiling.

“On top of that, Onii-chan also has to live with her from now on, right? I’m going crazy with jealousy.”

How should I answer her? I can’t find the right words to say back to her. I can’t help but think that no matter what I say, my words are too feeble to reach her. Maybe it was because I felt guilty for making Sakura like this.

“But even so, if she too was saved by Onii-chan as I was, I can understand how she feels. I also want to monopolize Onii-chan. Do you remember? The day Onii-chan saved me.”

“….I do remember it. At that time, Sakura was about to break.” 

“fufu, correct. How nostalgic, if Onii-chan hadn’t saved me, I might have died of despair.”

She was quite worn out from work then. At school, she wore a brave face and acted like nothing was wrong. She had to act at school, at home, everywhere, and there was no place she could rest.
