Chapter 61
[The Sound’s Judgment]
Even if a person of Anonymous dies, the funeral will not be held .
The grave will not be built .
The deaths of Hakunetsu-san and Kuroinu-san made a big hole in my heart .
Next day, I woke up at the hideout’s treatment facility .
It seems that Tsuki Hanare-san and Shimichi-san brought me here .
There is no pain from my body . When I uncovered the blue patient gown that I had changed into since who knows when, I found that most of my wounds had healed .
The wound on my shoulder also healed and only leaving a mark .
“Be grateful . I have to worked hard overnight to heal your wounds .
Well, I’m just following Hyde’s order though . ”
Chiyaku-san said while entering the room .
“…Thank you . ”
“‘Visit me when you woke up’, is the message Hyde left behind . Roll is also worried y’know . ”
“I understand . ”
I got off the bed and put on the slippers that were there .
Then I went to Boss’ room .
I unsteadily walk along the corridor .
I feel sick .
The deaths of Kuroinu-san and Hakunetsu-san are repeated many times in my head .
Once again, I actually feel the death of the two .
I wonder if those two people would be able to escape if they weren’t trying to let me escape .
Maybe if I fight together with them…
If I don’t involve Hakunetsu-san and co in the mission…
Such meaningless thoughts are swirling in my mind .
*bam*, something hit my forehead and I stopped .
When I looked up, Tameiki-san was there .
“Look ahead when you’re walking . Or you’ll bump into something . ”
“Tameiki-san…”
“What a terrible face . ”
Tameiki-san put her finger on my cheek and gently wiped the tears there .
I was crying, huh .
“Why are you crying, Shion . ”
“…I don’t know . ”
“Don’t cry if you don’t know . ”
After saying that, Tameiki-san walked past me .
I turn around at once and look at Tameiki-san .
Her hair that was tied at the back of her head was swaying .
“Tameiki-san…”
When I called her, Tameiki-san stopped without looking back .
“I’m sorry, it’s nothing . ”
I turned around and walked towards Boss’ room .
When I arrived in front of Boss’ room, I knocked on the door twice .
“Enter”, I heard Boss’ voice from inside, so I opened the door .
“Excuse me . ”
In the room, there were Shimichi-san who sat on the sofa and Boss who sat on his usual chair .
“Have you finished your treatment from Chiyaku?”
“Yes… I’m sorry, about the mission . ”
“It can’t be helped right . How are you feeling?”
“…”
I don’t have anything good to reply with .
“I see . It was a disaster, huh . ”
“No…”
I denied . Then Boss had a sip of coffee and put the cup back on the desk .
“Well then, there is one thing I want to hear from you, Shion . ”
“What about?”
“Midou Ryuusui…, about that guy . He was originally assigned in Saint Celia and shouldn’t be able to move in that scene .
Shion, did you see his rank badge?”
“…I saw it . ”
“Did he wear a general badge?”
“No . Midou Ryuusui wore the badge of lieutenant general, even though he was a general . ”
Tsuki Hanare-san and Shimichi-san must have seen it too, right…?
“I see . As expected, huh .
Shimichi, hold a meeting tomorrow . Call the executives . ”
Boss stood up and said so . Shimichi-san left the room without answering .
“Shion, good job . It’s fine now . ”
“Err, what does that mean?”
Why did Midou Ryuusui wear lieutenant general’s badge? I’m curious too .
“It’s a relegation . There are a lot of restrictions in the rank of general, so he can’t be free . So maybe he demoted himself to be in a position to chase us . ”
I see . What a nuisance .
Does he have a grudge against us…?
No, that’s a foolish thought . It is the job of the Self Defense Force to catch us even without any grudge .
In addition, we are doing things that made us can’t complain if our friends are killed .
“Why did he does that…?”
“It’s probably because the previous case made the Self Defense Force’s higher ups upset . ”
If I kill a person, surely someone would feel the same as I am now .
It’s wrong to hate him .
We are evil, they are justice . Unless this fact turns over, I have no right to get angry .
No, that is also wrong .
That is also a strange way of thinking . I’m already a complete murderer .
Not only at the time of manifestation . I’ve also killed a person by my own will .
Right does not have to do with such evil .
Then, it’s fine even if I’m angry .
Actually, what came over me is the feeling of wanting to be able to kill him…

…but, I can’t .
If we meet each other, I will have to run away again .
“I see . Thank you . Excuse me . ”
I said so and left the room .
After leaving the room, my destination is Roll’s room .
It seems that she was worried . I have to show my face .
When I arrived in front of Roll’s room, I heard the Desuko-san’s voice from inside .
That person is also inside .
The door wasn’t locked .
When I opened it and entered, the eyes of the two people turned to me .
“Shion…! Are you okay…?”
Roll said so and came up to me .
“Chiyaku-san has healed my wounds . ”
“It’s not about that . ”
Roll said with a troubled look .
I says after understanding what she meant .
“…Well, I’m fine y’know . ”
I act casually . I don’t want to make her worried .
“I see…hey, you want to eat?”
“Ah, please . I’m hungry . ”
“OK . ”
Saying that, Roll moved to the kitchen .
I turn and give a greeting to Desuko-san .
“Hello, Desuko-san . ”
“Yaho~”
She waved her hand, and then pat the sofa next to her .
Perhaps she’s telling me to sit down .
I moved there and gently sat down on the sofa .
Desuko-san poured tea from the teapot on the table and handed it to me .
“Well, have a drink . It’s Roll’s leftover though . ”
“Thank you . ”
My throat was also dry, so I’ll drink it gratefully .
Because it’s mixed with leftover of the drink, it was not so hot .
I drank the tea and put the cup on the table .
“How are you feeling?”
“…”
Desuko-san also asked the same thing as Boss, so I felt that this question had some meaning, so I thought a little .
I thought about it for a while, but I can’t tell the true meaning of the question .
I decided to answer the question honestly .
“Not good . ”
“You should be, right . ”

“Yes . ”
*ton ton ton*, the sound of cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife sounded .
It’s a pleasant sound .
Suddenly, a ventilation fan turned on .
“Hakunetsu and Kuroinu were funny guys . Well, it can’t be helped . ”
Desuko-san said .
How can you be so carefree about it, is it because you have become used to this world?
Perhaps, Roll is as carefree as Desuko-san .
…No, I can’t be so carefree .
“It has been quite a while since a member of the headquarters died right~, Roll . ”
Desuko-san gave the topic to Roll with the same tone as usual .
Although her friends died, it seems she didn’t feel anything .
“Yes, that’s right . ”
“It was unusual that no one died for more than half a year, so I thought it would be about time for someone to die, but it’s unthinkable that it’s those two who will be killed, right~ . ”
Desuko-san’s laughter echoes in the room .
If only I could laugh like that, I thought .
“Hey~, Shion-kun . ”
When I was absentminded, Desuko-san suddenly changed the tone of her voice .
“What is it?”
“Shion-kun, have you prepared to die?”
“Desuko . ”
The sound of Roll’s knife stops .
“If you die in this world tomorrow, have you prepared to die tomorrow without regrets?”
Such preparedness…is it necessary here?
I don’t want to die . Why do I need to be prepared to die?
“I haven’t . ”
I said so, and Desuko-san stared at my eyes for a while .
Her eyes that felt like it can see through me is scary .
“Ahaha, that’s right~ . I am the same . Nobody wants to die y’know .
I was joking just now, so don’t worry about it . ”
She stood up and said so .
Then she started walking .
“…You’re, fine as you are Shion-kun . ”
“…”
“When you are in trouble, relying on your partner is one of the ways, Shion-kun . Good luck . ”
Desuko-san pats my shoulder and heads toward the exit of the room .
“Desuko, are you going back?”
“Actually, we have a meeting of executives . Well, it’s not now though . ”
Is it the meeting that Boss said earlier? I’m sure it’s about Midou Ryuusui .
“Ah, okay . ”
Roll said, and Desuko-san left the room saying “Adieu” .

After Desuko-san left, the room becomes quiet .
That person, leaving strange atmosphere again .
“Okay, It’s done . ”
On the table was colorful fried rice .
I moved from the sofa to the chair in front of the table and picked up the spoon .
“Itadakimasu . ”(TLN : Well, you know what it means)
After eating a bite, I can’t stop .
Delicious . The fried rice made by Roll is delicious .
Roll is staring at me who eats vigorously .
“Speaking of which, it seems that Tsuki Hanare has returned to headquarters .
Well, the two’s position became vacant after all, so it can’t be helped . ”
“Is that so?”
I’ll apologize again to Tsuki Hanare-san . It’s thanks to him that I can live like this .
He was a much more decent person than I expected . He’s decent when he’s calm, which reminds me, Roll is also like that .
After I stuffed my mouth with fried rice and said ‘Thank you for the meal’, I brought the tablewares to the kitchen and washed them .
“Roll . ”
“What?”
“I’m scared . ”
“… it’s okay . ”
“No…!”
That’s not it . I’m…
“I’m more afraid of myself dying rather than my companions dying .
Hakunetsu-san and Kuroinu-san died… That’s sorrowful . I also want to take revenge…
But more than that…I’m glad I didn’t die… I was glad that I was the only one saved…
Tsuki Hanare-san also saw through me…”
‘Is it okay if I’m the only one saved? really, insincere words just makes me disgusted’ he said .
I just pretended that I felt guilty . I just pretended to be sad…
“Even this feeling… I don’t know if it’s real…”
“…”
I was hugged gently from behind .
I tried to shake her off, but stopped .
“The more you think about it, the deeper you’ll fall into it . Everyone is the same that they are thinking their own life is the most important to them . ”
“But Roll is…”
“Yup . ”
Roll have tried to throw her life away for me…
We hadn’t met yet, but she risked her life trying to save me…
If our own life is the most important, Hakunetsu-san and Kuroinu-san would have escaped .
I’m not asking for such a lie .
“…nothing . ”
“I see . ”
For a while I was hugged by Roll .
