Chereads / World Linking High School Boy Emis / Chapter 13 - EPISODE 12 - What Is The Answer?

Chapter 13 - EPISODE 12 - What Is The Answer?

Emis: Yes, yes. Well, bye Ayaka.

Ayaka: Bye.

I should try not to worry them.

*Emis runs toward Daiki and Hiroto*

All three of them: Bye Ayaka! Thanks for everything!

Ayaka: Bye!

*Door closes*

This time...I definitely will!

*The three of them are outside*

Daiki: Okay! Time to go! But let's-

Emis: Check our stuff, yeah yeah.

Daiki: Woah! You took the words right off my mouth!

*Daiki and Hiroto check their bags*

Emis: None.

Hiroto: I think I forgot something.

Daiki: I forgot my water bottle. Let's go back inside to retrieve them.

Hiroto: You stay here, Emy-kun, we're only going to take a minute.

*The two head back inside*

I somehow managed to get a little more time. There are quite the dialogue changes.

*Something whooshes from a bush*

*He prepares*

Emis: Hmph!

*A little ball rolls from behind, passing through his legs*

*He kicks it away again*

*He attacks with his right hand*

Calfurnia: Ngk!

*She moves backward swiftly*

Calfurnia: H-How'd you know I'd appear here?

*He sheds a tear and then shouts*

Emis: AHHHH!

*He approaches Calfurnia preparing a punch*

Emis: Why? WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GO? I'm sick of this! HIYAH!

*He punches and Calfurnia simply dodges*

*He punches again and misses*

*He tries to punch for a third time*

*Slash*

Emis: Uh! *coughs blood*

*He doesn't get to hit her because he was stabbed in the stomach*

*He kneels and coughs blood*

Emis: Uhhh...

How weak can I be? No one's come to rescue me now.

Calfurnia: Hey...

*He looks at her*

Calfurnia: You know I could've already killed you back at the start. I could've even killed you when I stole your meal.

Emis: Th-That w-was you? THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU? WHY'D YOU GIVE ME FALSE HOPE! I HATE YOU! *coughs blood* I...hate...you...since I'm going to die, at least tell me your reason...for doing...this?

Calfurnia: All I wanted...was to be accepted. I've never actually killed anyone before, but if I completed this mission...they would accept me, as Member 2. When I saw you, it...kinda felt fun teasing you. Not just that, your school, your friends, even parties. I envied you. I didn't want to kill you at first, but when I saw you now...your eyes...

My...eyes?

Calfurnia: It was filled with rage, with...killing intent...I was starting to wonder...how they accepted you with those eyes in the first place...

R-Really? W-Wait...she's right...I just intended to kill her.

*He starts crying*

Wh-What have I become? I've become an evil scumbag. I'm pretty sure even the past me would be disappointed.

*Emis has lost hold of reality*

Calfurnia: Sorry, I've decided that once I enter this route, there's no coming back.

*Slash to the neck*

Calfurnia: Done! Now to take care of the rest.

*A white light shines forth*

*He has been revived*

*Calfurnia looks behind*

Calfurnia: What the-

Emis: Why? I don't deserve this power! I should've just died!

*A dark aura starts to emanate from the back of his body*

*His left eye gets a faint shade of violet*

Emis: *quietly* Sacred Incantation Conversion:...

*Calfurnia: I should stop him.

Emis: ...Life Extension to Object Manifestation:...

*Calfurnia slashes with her knife*

Calfurnia's thoughts: I can't cut through! How? I was able to do it last time.

*He grabs her and lifts her up*

Calfurnia's thoughts: I-I can't get out!

*She drops her knife*

*He throws them upward*

Emis: ...Devastation of 2!

*The punch was so strong, Calfurnia was destroyed to pieces*

*There was a rain of blood and some of it poured onto his arm*

*Daiki and Hiroto get out of the house*

Daiki: What's with all the ruck-

Hiroto: Emis!

*Emis faints*

*Unclear voices*

Uh....

*Pitch black*

*Blurry light*

??? : Hey!

*Vision clears out*

Ayaka: Hey.

*Emis gets up surprised*

Ayaka: Woah, you need to lie down for a bit.

*He is in bed*

Ayaka: You're in my house. Your parents sure were worried. I said I'd take care of you.

Emis: Wh-Where is she? The demihuman?

Ayaka: Maybe, you're imagining things.

Emis: No! I definitely know I'm not imagining.

Ayaka: You were knocked out there, you've been out for a day.

A day?

Ayaka: We saw blood outside everywhere and we were worried. We were glad it wasn't yours.

B-Blood?

*He remembers what happened*

Ayaka: And here I told you to stop making us worry, sheesh~

I k-killed her? No, it can't be.

Emis: How did you know it wasn't my blood?

Ayaka: Well, you barely had a scratch and there was way too much blood for it to be yours.

I've become a murderer.

*He gets confused*

Ayaka: Calm down, or Hiroto's hard work would have been for nothing. He treated you. I don't know how, but he was able to fix you in shape in no time.

*He gets even more confused*

Ayaka: You shouldn't problem yourself. You should rest, okay?

*Ayaka leaves and closes the door*

Ayaka: Don't you dare do anything stupid!

I-I k-killed her. This guilt...I'm sorry, Hiroto, Ayaka, I need to correct my mistakes. She didn't deserve to die.

Emis: *quietly* Sacred Incantation Conversion:...

One more time...

Emis: ...Life Extension to Object Manifestation...

Sorry to break your house in this world, Ayaka.

Emis: ...Devastation of 2!

*He punches his own face*

*crack*

*debris falling*
