Chapter 73
[The Darkness That Dwelled]
Of the information obtained from all five senses, vision occupies about 80% of the amount of information .
In the case of Shion, his ratio of hearing also high due to the utilization circumstance of his ability, but even so, the situation where his vision is shut off still gives him unimaginable stress .
In that space, he wouldn’t even hear the sounds of the outside world .
Therefore, Shion went mad quickly .
Yoiyami is observing his state through the darkness .
Yoiyami keeps his eyes on Shion who rampages and shouts in the darkness . He is also trying to share his suffering . Since Shion had chose to take this kind of training, he has responsibility to keep an eye on him .
It’s been about 8 hours since he was thrown into the dark room . Yoiyami himself never thought that he would go mad this fast .
It is because of Shion’s pattern of thinking which could also be said as overcomplicating things . He rushed to come to various conclusion and was caught in the illusion of urgency both physically and mentally, and he exploded .
Usually, Shion isn’t so hasty . It can be seen how agonizing this situation is for him .
Yoiyami recall the time when Tameiki did the same training . In her case, this training ended in failure .
Perhaps it is because of a difference in personality, rather than a difference in experience, but Tameiki was calm in the darkness and nothing in particular changed in herself, so the training was abandoned .
Yoiyami had already discovered Shion’s potential .
However, this training method can turn him in a good way or a bad way . In the first place, rather than training it is more apt to call this as dubious harsh treatment .
Therefore, he was cautious .
For the time being, I wouldn’t stop the 5 days training— so what he muttered in his heart .
At least for the current Shion, that would make him in despair . There is no way he would knows such thoughts of Yoiyami inside the darkness, though .
Yoiyami had seen through Shion’s fragility since the first time they met .
However, that fragility can also become strength . The darkness hidden in Shion’s eyes unknowingly fascinated Yoiyami .
Aside from whether Yoiyami was aware of that, he was afraid of Shion at the same time . He realized this .
Shion persisted on living, and produces an amazing growth speed from his fear of death .
The distortion created at that time fostering his darkness and made it swell more and more .
Whether he will make that darkness his, or he will be dyed in that darkness .
In any case, Shion becomes stronger . Yoiyami thought so .
However, if possible, he wishes for Shion to make that darkness his . If he is dyed in the darkness, he will lose his important things one after another .
If that happened, it had nothing to do with Yoiyami, but if possible, he naturally wanted him to change in the good way because he was the one who watched over him .
The act of removing the shackles of the heart .
A typical like Shion…though it is doubtful whether it can be called so, but those types basically unknowingly binds themselves .
The words that Yoiyami stabbed into Shion were the ones that saw through him .
However, that is a fair argument .
Shion is seeking for too many things . Yoiyami once sought for too many things too . He tried to get them all and lost everything .
If you try to grab something that you can’t grasp, all that remains in your hand is a little self-esteem and emptiness .
A person must get something that fits their height .

And in order to keep it forever, people continue to throw something away .
In the wilderness, in the darkness . Carefully sorting and choose what to throw away .
Shion must have something he had to throw away too .
Anonymous, his daily life, of if he has other option, that one is also fine .
Anyway, that is Shion’s decision .
“Bastard! You trash! What’s so great about killing people! Don’t pretend to be a wise! Get me out! Get me out!”
He sure is saying some harsh things . Yoiyami’s expression loosened unintentionally too .
While thinking that what Shion said was true, he tightened his expression once again .
It seems going to be a long battle, or so he muttered .
Three days later, the confinement, which could be called a torture for Shion, continued .
There was dirty water in the sink inside the room, and that was the only thing that Shion had in these three days .
On the other hand, Yoiyami is watching Shion without sleeping . He didn’t drink and eat either .
However, his expression and complexion didn’t change .
In the first place, he had terrible dark circles under his eyes and sullen face, the 3 days fasting didn’t seem to affect him .
In fact, it had no effect . It’s true that he’s thirsty and hungry, but he has the mental power to overcome it .
However, of course, it was different for Shion .

He stopped screaming and moving . Only when he goes to drink the dirty water in the sink, he would stand up quietly, wander around for a while, find the sink, drink the water there, and then fall down somewhere again .
In this situation where he doesn’t know how long it will last, Shion’s head worked wisely . He only screamed at the beginning, and as soon as he realized it was futile, he stopped moving .
He began to wonder if he would be died just like that, but then he thought it was useless to even wear out his heart, so he stopped thinking .
He turned into a state in which he stopped thinking and only do what needs to done to survive in just one day .
Yoiyami was also watching over with wonder .
This is progressing in a bad direction . Yoiyami wanted Shion to think .
If he remains on the verge of dying as he is, the meaning of this harsh treatment will be lost .
Yoiyami was afraid of that, but he had no choice but to watch over it .
Shion and Yoiyami . Although Yoiyami didn’t drink any water, the one who was being cornered is as expected, Shion .
The decisive difference is the sense of time .
When the eyesight was shut, there was no other way than to sleep to fast-forward the sense . The other way, ‘thinking’, is closed by him .
Although Shion closed his thoughts as much as possible, he still has something he’s thinking about after all .
Like, how long has it passed since then?
Actually, it was 3 days, but his sense was over 5 days, and then it feels that another week has passed .
However, he himself understood that his sense of time was distorted, so he occasionally told himself that it was not .
Then he closes his thoughts and looks forward for Yoiyami to stop or gave up .

4th day .
When Shion pressed the center of his eye strongly, he could perceive light in an artificial manner, and he did it repeatedly . To distract his mind . And it was the only way to kill time for Shion .
Yoiyami stares at him expressionlessly . It seems that he is resuming his thoughts little by little, but perhaps, his physical strength is already at the limit .
However, Yoiyami didn’t give up .
He hasn’t reached the limit of human yet . Until the last minute, Yoiyami will wait for the change that appear in Shion .
What will change? What is Yoiyami trying to change in Shion?
Yoiyami thinks that the part of Shion that should be changed will be decided by Shion himself in the end .
Therefore, it is necessary for him to think about it after all . People are trapped in something and eventually, don’t think about it . Many people will change if they can think about it 24 hours a day, so Yoiyami thinks .
He thought that the process of thinking was indispensable in order to become stronger .
Now, how will you conclude it, what will you cast away, Shion .
An unexplainable trust in Shion was being born in Yoiyami . It’s one-sided, but no matter how Shion changes, Yoiyami will accept it .
That is the right path, that is what needs to be done .
Day 5 .
Shion began to mutter to himself .
Yoiyami is convinced that he completely resumes to think .
The plan was to release him after 5 days, but he decided to extend the time for a while .
