Chapter 35.2

Under the cold sky, on top of the withered and rotting grass, a small light brown wolf sits .
Ears hanging, gaze shaking anxiously .

“Chako…! Chako!”

 Chako’s here .

 ――Chako’s really here .

“Yui-chan…”

 When that wolf sees me, its eyes widen for a moment in surprise .
Then, its eyes narrow softly .

 It’s Chako .
It’s Chako .
It’s Chako!

 The figure I’ve always sought for is there .

 Still unable to hide my joy, I rush over .
And, when I kneel on the ground, I hug that small body tightly .

“Chako!”

 The body that disappeared just now is here .
The small… and warm body is here .

 So that that warmth will never leave again, I hug it tightly .
Warm . The body that’s really here .
When I put in more strength, wanting to ascertain that more, the small wolf raises its voice “Uu” .

“Y, Yui-chan, Yui-chan… It hurts, a little . ”

 The small wolf cries “Gue”, keeping a check on me .
At that pained voice, I regain a little calmness .
Slowly drawing out the strength in my arms that were filled with strength, I softly match our gazes .
The golden eyes shine prettily even within the darkness .

“Sorry, are you alright?”

“Nn… I’m fine . ”

 An alto voice like a boy’s resound .
My heart becomes filled at that gentle sound .

“Chako . ”

 When I call with a shivering voice, it replies “Yea?” with a soft voice .
That makes me so, so happy .
I don’t know anything anymore, tears stream from my eyes drop by drop .

“Wa, Yui-chan, don’t cry!”

 The small wolf’s eyes widen in surprise, its right forefoot brushing my cheek to wipe my tears .
Then, happy that it’s wiping my tears, my lips loosen .
Even then my tears can’t stop so, the small wolf hurriedly moves its forefoot with all its might .

“Cha, ko . ”

“Un . I’m here . Okay? Don’t cry anymore?”

 The small wolf tilts its head while looking up at me .
That action is so cute, I end up chuckling .
And, at that moment I suddenly realise, the figure that should be here isn’t here .

“Chako… Where’s Grandpa?”

 Removing the right hand I hugged Chako with, I wipe my own eyes .
… Even if I look over the surroundings, I don’t see Grandpa .
I was sure that Chako would be talking to Grandpa .
Calming down and thinking back, when I came here, there wasn’t anyone around the small wolf . It was sitting down alone, small and quiet .

“Ah… Gramps huh, he fell asleep again . ”

 The small wolf sighs a little, muttering in a troubled manner .
Those words were completely unexpected…

“Eh… Why?”
“Uh, somehow he lacked a little miasma to make this body, he said . ”

 I feel my feelings that were surging until a while ago, growing cold quickly .

“That’s why he passed it to me along with Yui-chan’s power… So, Gramps who lost the power fell asleep again . ”

 The inside of my head turns white at Chako’s words .

 Passing the power to Chako, Grandpa disappeared .

 … That’s just like, the 3rd round .

 Sensei gave Chako his body, and Chako gained a way to live in this world .
However, Chako changed places with Sensei .

 What do I do .
If Chako says she wants to pass the power to Grandpa?

 What should I do .
If Chako says she wants Grandpa to live instead of her…?

 But I can’t go back anymore .
But I used up the power .

 

 The arm I’m hugging Chako with becomes heavier as though it’s seized by something .

 Is it no good again?
I failed again… and…

 The figure of Chako I should’ve been looking firmly at, warps .
My vision darkens .

 Scary .

 My body grows cold, the sound of my heart is loud .

“…”

 When it does, suddenly something presses hard against my shoulder .
When I absentmindedly match my gaze with it, it’s the head of a small wolf…

“Sorry… I’m sorry, Yui-chan . ”

 The small, grazed voice calls me .

“Did you always make a face like that… when I disappear? Doing over again and again… you made a face like that again and again? … I’m sorry . I must’ve made you pained… Sorry . I’m sorry . ”

 Head leaning on my shoulder, it frantically spins words .
And, softly raises its head, looking at my eyes .

“Gramps fell asleep but, we talked a bit before he slept . ”

 ”That’s why it’s fine”, the golden eyes capture me, who was about to be crushed by anxiety .
Because of those eyes, temperature returns again to my chilled body .

“He scolded me, asking me to listen to Yui-chan’s story . ”
“My story…?”

 The golden eyes shake apologetically .

“… The things Yui-chan worked hard at until now… will you let me hear them?”

 To hear my story, Chako looks at me firmly .
Looking back at those eyes, I give a small nod .
And, tell Chako about the things up till now .

 My past full of failures .
The information I gathered piece by piece .

The times Chako disappeared .
About Kousuke-kun and Tomotaksenpai . About Sensei, Yuusei-kun, and Tomoyuki-san .

 And when I say about all the rounds, the small wolf again, mutters, “I’m sorry” .

“… I should’ve listened properly . Yui-chan was working hard with all her might but… I’ve always been pretending to not know . ”
“No… It’s because I didn’t tell you, Chako . ”
“… Y’know Yui-chan, I think I’d definitely give you an answer if I listened… But, I didn’t want to listen . ”
 The small wolf gives a small sigh after that .
And, presses its head hard against my shoulder .

 

“Yui-chan thought that… I disappear because it’s Yui-chan’s fault right?”
“… I didn’t know anything, about Chako… Chako could only become the villain, and disappear, because I couldn’t save everyone right?”
“… Wrong . Wrong, Yui-chan . It’s not Yui-chan’s fault . ”

 The small wolf glances at me with upturned eyes .

“… I’ve always hated it… This body . ”

 And, mutters softly .

“… This life, I wanted to use it up immediately . ”

 Using… a life

 Strange words .
However, they signify Chako’s way of living .

“It wasn’t that I wanted myself to disappear… but, if I could be of some value… I was fine with that . ”

 At times, breathing in to calm itself, the small wolf continues its words slowly .
I look back firmly at the golden eyes so that I won’t miss hearing those words .

“I was born in this world as a phantom… I lived with Gramps but, I didn’t know about myself at all . ”

 This is about before the entrance ceremony .
About before my repeating of time .

“What I am, what I should do… I didn’t want to think about, or know about anything… Gramps didn’t tell me anything so, I only lived absent-mindedly . ”

 Even as it pokes fun saying “So casual right?”, those words ooze with pain .

“In that time I became Tomotaksama’s familiar, and after I realized I was in the world of an otome game, I became more confused . ”

 The golden eyes shake .

“When I was told to erase phantoms by Tomotaksama, I destroyed them… Y’know, I was already, strange . Even though I already couldn’t get much satisfaction from eating food, I get astounding satisfaction from destroying phantoms… More, more . I become unable to stop . ”

 The small wolf closes its eyes tightly as though to endure something .
And, gives a deep sigh .

“Tomotaksama would stop me when that happens… A wham with his whip . ”

 ”It hurt so I didn’t like it though”, it lets out a voice like it’s laughing .
At Chako’s words, I recall its state at school some time ago .
Tomotaksenpai takes out a black whip, hitting the berserk Chako .
That was probably the relationship between Chako and Tomotaksenpai before I met them .

“What do familiars do?”

 The small wolf’s eyes open and look at me .
『Familiar』 . That’s a technique handed down in the Kamo family .
Yuusei-kun said he didn’t know much about it .
The me who was taught by Yuusei-kun doesn’t know it well too .
That’s why, I say the superficial, only thing that I know .

“… They are those set to work by onmyoujis . ”
“Un… And, they get life force for listening to orders . ”

 The small wolf opens its mouth .
Sharp fangs shine brightly under the moonlight .

“The best reward is the master’s body . ”
 An alto voice like a boy’s .
That which I had been listening to from some time ago, somehow sounds distant .
“The heck’s that, I thought but, I get happy when Tomotaksama gives his blood . ”

 

 The small wolf says nonchalantly .
“I really want to eat more, I thought . ”

 『Want to eat』
I understand the meaning of the words but, not understanding the spoken meaning of the small wolf, I knit my brows slightly .
The small wolf doesn’t look at such a me, and looks at somewhere far away .

“I can’t eat when you’re alive so . ”

 The small wolf suddenly puts an end to the talk there .
After closing its eyes as though it’s enduring something, it gives a small mutter .

“… Won’t you hurry and die? I thought . ”

 Disturbing words .
Those words that don’t suit Chako .

“I can eat it all when you’re dead, I thought . ”
