Chapter 91
[Lullaby of Death]
Desuko-san and Boss were glaring at each other .
No, Boss’s expression isn’t that hard to the extent of scowling . However, he is restraining Desuko-san with a faint killing intent .
Desuko-san had her face distorted in anger, but after a while of silence, she sighed and shrugged her shoulders . Her expression returned to the same as usual .
Did she give up on this situation, or did she still have some measures hidden? I don’t know, but Desuko-san sighed and said,
“Last words… hm . ”
“Ahh, that’s right . ”
“Then I want to talk to Hyde for the last time . It’s okay, right? Look, we’ve been through various things so far . ”
When Desuko-san said so, Boss looked at the surroundings again .
The corpses of members familiar to Boss are rolling around . If I was in Boss’s position, I wonder if I could stay sane?
“You have destroyed that accumulated past though . Well, okay . ”
You’re kidding, right, Boss… Having a conversation with Desuko-san is dangerous even if it’s Boss . You should kill her quickly…!
I appealed with my eyes, but I couldn’t reach Boss .
Boss is still smiling with a relaxed attitude . Even though he should know that conversation with Desuko-san is dangerous .
“Thanks, Hyde . ”
“Don’t mind it . ”
“…The first time we met, when was it I wonder? Was it about 15 years ago?”
“It was earlier, right?”
“Is that so? Well anyway, you gave me the code name Destroy-chan . I’ve always wondering about this, but did Hyde realize my true nature?”
“You can just read my mind without asking me that, right, Desuko . ”
“…You sure are mean . ”
Desuko-san smiled with a troubled face . Boss and Desuko-san continued the conversation in such long time comrade-like atmosphere .
“Honestly, I couldn’t have predicted that you would betray at this kind of timing . To think that you were the leader of the Nursery Rhymes .
However, was Anonymous couldn’t satisfy your fetish? You should have taken many missions to kill people though . ”
“Don’t call it fetish . But it’s true that Anonymous didn’t satisfy me . That’s why I found Nursery Rhymes . ”
“What made you dissatisfied?”
“Look, my ability isn’t very suitable for killing people, right? It’s very good for assassination, but it’s not an ability that can kill a lot of people at once . ”
“That’s true . ”
“So, it’s though even when dealing with civilians when I can only read mind . Not to mention the SDF, I can’t face them head-on .
That’s why I thought I had no choice but to kill my comrades .
To let everyone recognize my existence, I drive out all those who can fight by using various people, creating a stage where I can become the ruler . Nursery Rhymes too, everything is just a tool for this moment . ”
“I see . ”
“After that, the scenario was to kill the returning members in order, but seems like I failed . ”
“Are you still not satisfied even with this much killing?”
“I am satisfied… a bit, that is . ”
I wonder how Roll and Byakurei-san felt listening to the two’s conversation . At least Roll’s expression was complicated . Byakurei-san has collapsed, so I don’t know .
It was only a short time since I joined Anonymous, so I felt nothing hearing the two’s conversation .
Desuko-san is trying to get into Boss’s heart; I don’t understand why Boss is going along with the conversation .
Don’t tell me they’re just having a normal conversation, no that’s impossible, right .
“A bit, huh . It feels complicated for me . ”
“Ahaha… With this, is Hyde’s true purpose became distant I wonder?”
“No, this is not an obstacle . ”
“Is that soo~ . Well, you can just collect more people again, right?”

“That’s right . ”
The conversation was paused there . I’m surprised that the conversation that didn’t last longer than I expected .
Wasn’t Desuko-san trying to get into Boss’s heart…?
The indescribable atmosphere dominates the place .
Boss suddenly took out a knife and flipped it with his hand .
Is he going to kill Desuko-san?
*gokkuri* I heard the sound of Roll gulping .
However, Desuko-san stops Boss with one hand .
“Wait, Hyde . ”
“What?”
“In that case, let’s die together with everyone . It’s lonely to die alone you know . ”
That said, Desuko-san tries to take something out of her pocket . However, her movement stopped while her hand in her pocket .
“Looking for this?” Boss said so and took out a business card-sized device from his pocket and showed it .
Seeing that, Desuko-san wrinkled her eyebrows .
“To think that you even installed bombs in the hideout . ”
“That ability is reaaaaaally unfair you know . ”
So, you even installed bombs, Desuko-san? You are prepared for the worst case scenario, huh .
Boss who prevented it was amazing, but Desuko-san is thorough as well .
I was also surprised that Boss’s ability was activated . On top of being incomprehensible, the ability was too mysterious . What in the world is Boss’ ability?
“Now that I think about it, your heart was ugly and distorted since the time I first met you . But still, Desuko, I thought it was worth getting you into the organization . More than the risk, I think that you were giving good influence in the organization .
That’s why I made you an executive, so that you can do whatever you wanted . ”
“…That shouldn’t be the case . ”

“What is?”
“My heart was ugly, you said . ”
Desuko-san’s face gradually distorted in anger . Apparently the words just now have bought her anger .
“What’s wrong? It’s ugly, right?”
“On the contrary, why did you say that? My heart is not ugly you know . You can say that I’m crazy or the like . I’m aware that my values are very different from most people . But what did you mean by saying that my heart is ugly?”
“So, you don’t even know that?”
“You’re wrong . The true nature of the heart is decided by the person themselves . Rules, order, and morality are not something that you can’t decide by yourself . ”
Desuko-san’s vocabulary became rough .
Boss who occasionally flipped his knife, unnoticedly replaced his smiling face with a pitying expression .
“In that case, can you see your own heart?”
“…I can’t . But my heart is beautiful . I can tell that much . ”
“If you say so, then it’s fine for you to think so . But I think your heart is ugly . Just like me, you’ve killed a lot of people .
Too many that it’s uncountable . Our hearts that grew up feeding on people’s hatred, must be ugly, gave off stench, and unbearable to see . That’s why Desuko, it’s okay for you to keep misunderstanding your rotten heart as beautiful until the moment you die . ”
“But Hyde, I think yours is beautiful . Living for a single purpose until it became that that distorted . But if you say so, then it must be ugly . Hyde’s heart is ugly and my heart is beautiful . It’s fine like that, right? Don’t lump me together with you . ”
“You don’t know what beautiful is anymore . You sure are ugly . ”
“Ugly, ugly… stop saying that . ”
“Then, why don’t you ask Shion, Roll, or Byakurei?”
“Shut up!! My heart is the most beautiful… My most beautiful heart… can’t be ugly!”
A knife stabbed into her chest at the same time she shouted .
“Ah…! Aaahhh……!”
Seeing the knife stabbed in her chest, Desuko-san stepped back a few steps . Then fell on her butt on the spot .

The restraint on me was released . It seems that the restraint on Roll and Byakurei was released too, as Roll immediately ran to Desuko-san .
“Ah~, I can’t move because my thighs hurt . ”
It was the first words of Byakurei-san who was released from the restraint . I don’t know what he’s really thinking .
I shouldn’t have felt anything, hearing the conversation between the two . But it got me thinking .
I take a few steps and stand behind Roll .
Roll was about to fall supporting Desuko-san’s body, trembling .
Although she got hit in the vital directly, I thought it was dangerous because she was still breathing, but Boss took out the cigarette from his pocket without saying anything and lit it .
“Ahh Desuko…! Why did you do such stupid things…!”
“…Stupid things, huh… Were you even listening… Roll . Or rather, you cried… for me, hm . ”
Even though she said terrible things, while spitting blood, Desuko-san forcibly spoke .
Even so, it’s frightfully easy to hear the words of Desuko-san .
“Isn’t it natural…! I’ve been together with you since I was aware of my surroundings…!”
It may be painful for Roll . It’s not because she was induced to think like that; it was because of something more than that .
While being held by Roll, Desuko-san turned her gaze to me standing in the back .
“…Ahh, I sure don’t want to, die…”
Desuko-san intentionally smile . I can’t laugh it off .
“Why did you say that to me…”
“…Shion…kun, you have to… love people more you know… If not…”
Desuko-san’s words ended there .
Nay, she stopped breathing .
She detested anything and everything, like me .
Her last words echoed in my head . She seemed to have spouted something unnecessary to me at the very end .
