Chereads / World Linking High School Boy Emis / Chapter 6 - EPISODE 6 - A Hidden Burden

Chapter 6 - EPISODE 6 - A Hidden Burden

It looks like I don't have a choice...I have to fight him. But how do I even defeat him? I didn't even know how I got to damage him. Well, no sense in thinking about that now, but at the very least, I have to get some help, but how?

*He is in class*

How? How? How?

??? : Hey.

Emis: Oh, yes?

Ayaka: Sensei is asking a question.

*Sir Takeshi is looking at Emis*

Ayaka: Sensei, is asking you a question.

*Sir Takeshi is looking at Emis*

Ayaka: The answer is 5.

Emis: Oh, ok, thank you. *stands up* *confidently* Sir, the answer is 5!

*Sir Takeshi looks in dismay*

Takeshi: Soooooo, the English translation of "How do I get there?," is 5?

Emis: Ummm...

Wait, it isn't Mathematics?

Takeshi: Emis, my boooooy, I think you should sit down.

*Emis sits down*

*Ayaka laughs quietly*

Emis: Why, you?!

Ayaka: That part *Ayaka chuckles*, when you answered 5, *Ayaka laughs* I just couldn't take it.

*Ayaka laughs even more*

You make fun of me, when I'm thinking how to save you guys...

Takeshi: Ayakaa!

Revenge!

*Emis smiles*

Ayaka: *In English* I can visit your house, tomorrow.

Takeshi: Cooorrect!

WHYYYYY?!

*Ayaka sticks her tounge out, and winking with her left eye*

Ayaka: You thought I wasn't listening, hmmm?

*Emis is dumbfounded*

Ayaka: I can multi-task ya' know?

*Emis angrily looks at Ayaka*

*Ayaka chuckles merrily*

*School bell rings*

*It is lunch break*

*Emis is still in the classroom*

What was I thinking about again? Oh yes, I need help to fight Shrednell.

*Emis goes to Hiroto*

*Emis looks serious*

Emis: I need to talk to you about something, Hiroto, meet me in the canteen in 10 minutes.

*Emis heads to Daiki*

Emis: Hey, bud, I need to tell you 'bout something, meet me in the canteen in 10 minutes.

*Emis goes to Ayaka*

Emis: I need to talk to you 'bout something, meet me in the canteen in 10 minutes.

*10 minutes later*

*They are gathered in the canteen*

Ayaka: What is this about, Cheesestick?

Daiki: Hmhmm, what is this about?

Hiroto: Yes, why are we meeting here?

*Emis looks serious*

Emis: There's a mysterious boy that has been appearing at school lately.

Ayaka: *angrily* Don't lump us in with your bad boy fights!

Daiki: I see.

Hiroto: ...

Emis: No...this is more serious than I thought.

*Emis is reminded of their deaths*

*Emis become a bit emotionally unstable*

*He sheds a tear*

Hiroto: Are you okay?

I guess I have to tell them...what's going to happen.

Emis: I saw your deaths in 8 days in the hands of that man.

...

Huh? Why isn't anyone asking?

*Emis looks around*

Emis: Wait, what?!

*Emis is back in the Link*

Emis: How did I get here? I didn't even die.

Browser: I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you about the conditions of resurrected heroes.

Emis: What are the conditions?

Browser: You must never speak anything closely related to your resurrection.

Emis: Never?

Browser: Many have attempted before...and they sure did regret it.

Emis: ...

Browser: I'm warning you. If you do so...you will regret it too...

This sounds troublesome.

Browser: If you die because of it, you will not go here, but instead would automatically place you in an alternate world the same as that.

Emis: I can die?

*Once Emis blinked he has been returned to his world*

Daiki: You were saying?

*Emis sits down troubled*

I...can...die? But I did resurrect last time, I guess I could take one life just to tell this. It sounds crazy, but I care about their safety. Plus, she said "if", that means that I could also not die. I don't think I would regret this.

*Emis stands*

Emis: I saw your deat-

*He feels a burning pain in all the parts of his body, inside and outside*

*Emis falls*

Emis: *shouts* AHHHH!

Ayaka: Emis!

Daiki: Emis.

Hiroto: Do you need to go to the clinic?

*The burning pain disappears*

*Everyone looks worried*

*He sits down*

Emis: I saw your deaths in 8 days in the hands of that man.

Finally! And nothing happened!

Emis: Why are you guys looking at me like that?

Daiki: Y-

Hiroto: You-

Ayaka: Your arms...*shivering*

Emis: What's wrong with m-

*Emis looks at his arms*

*They have detached from him and he is bleeding*

M-MY ARMS!

*The burning pain comes back*

*Emis falls because of too much pain*

Everyone: Emis!

What...What happened again? I feel weak...so weaaak...so much pain...Will I revive? Either way, I'm going to get a bit of shut-eye...so painful...

*Emis never opened his eyes again*

*He died*

*Pitch black*

Did I...just die?

*He opens his very troubled and stressed eyes*

Hiroto: Are you okay?

Huh? Oh yeah, I still have to try.

Emis: I-I saw your deaths in 8 days in the hands of that man.

*Emis performs a full body inspection*

Nothing happened! I'm completely fine! But why isn't anyone asking? Don't tell me, I'm in the Link again.

*Emis feels something wet*

What...What is this?

*Emis is shocked*

Nooo...no...no...NOT AGAAAAIIIIINNN!!!

*Every person including Ayaka, Daiki, and Hiroto have holes in both their eyes and ears, and hearts*

Emis: STOOOOPPP!

*Emis runs away from the canteen*

*Emis is in the school ground walking slowly out of sadness*

Why?...Why?

Emis: *quietly* *weakly* Why?

*Emis sits by a tree*

*Emis cries*

This is too much...

Emis: When I finally thought I could stop seeing their dead bodies...

*The sky is dark*

??? : Well, well, well...

*He looks at the mysterious person calling out to him*

*It's Shrednell*

Shrednell: So that's why it's dark and so darn bloody in the canteen.

Wha? What is this monster talking about? I don't even care anymore.

Shrednell: I don't know, but I've heard of occurrences like these before. Some people can't tell a certain thing and if they try to, this happens. Well, it doesn't matter. You're early, lucky you!

Time to get this over with.

*2 deaths later*

Shrednell: You'd make the perfect punching bag, I must say.

*Emis is beat up*

Emis: ...shut up...

Shrednell: Object Manifestation: Brute Force!

*Pitch black*
