Chereads / A Retired Hero: New World Harem / Chapter 36 - (CHAPTER 35: DOUBLE)

Chapter 36 - (CHAPTER 35: DOUBLE)

"Ch-Chara?" Imagine the first image you woke up from an assault from your husband is his corpse, pierced and pinned onto the wall. Blood flow out of his wound, dying the ice cone that pierces his body red, forming a puddle of blood beneath him. A girl stood in front of her, continuously stabbing him with an ice daggle in her hand. Slitting his body open, organs, intestines, livers dangled out of the gigantic cut. It was sure he was already dead, but she didn't care. She didn't care the scream of her mother, she didn't care the blood and flesh smeared on her face, she didn't care the thud of her mother passing out by pure terror. All she wanted, is to kill this bastard who ended her life.

"The fuck?"

I stare at her, she stare back.

"I thought you are her twin sister."

"Yes, I am already dead." She answered.

"Really?" I approached her and touched her cheeks, soft and heaty, definitely still alive. "Is this a prank?" I asked out, confused. "You think I am pranking you?" Klara asked, angrily. "Maybe, she might be still in this house. You two tried to put a good one on me, right? Haha, I gotta say you got me in the first half- Oh Jesus fucking Christ!!" I just took a moment off her face and her face instantly turns from an innocent looking girl into Satan himself. Huge hollow eye socket, gigantic mouth with demonic teeth and horns popping out of her face. Holy shit, this image must've deducted half of my lifespan in on go.

"W-who are you?!" I screamed, conjuring my weapon as a katana formed in my hand, pointing at her. "Don't you dare fuck with me demon!" I screamed, hoping the holy light might shone on me for once. "Pff- "Upon seeing the reaction she wanted, Klara scoffed before laughing out loud once again. She returns back to normal, at least a little, the tiny horns and fangs still remains on her.

"What is wrong with you?" I asked out, angry, she ignore my words as she continue to laugh out. "S-so-rry!" She barely managed to finish those words before continue to laugh like an idiot. How sincere of an apology. "You…" I pulled my katana out, the dark energy started to circle around my entire body, the mere force of charging sends wind that stir up the living room. "You demonic being!!" I roared, the entire blade was pure void black, Imma slice this entire nut sack of a planet into half, I will and I would. If it is what it takes to get rid of this satanic unholy being.

"No! Stop!" She finally stop her misdeeds as she waved her hand frantically, trying to make me stop. "I will explain, alright?" She shouted. "Explain what!?" I screamed, my blade still high up, a step away from annihilating this entire goddamn planet. "Just, just stop whatever you are doing!" She shouted; the gushing wind drowned her voice. "No more tricks?" I asked, confirming. "It is just a prank, come one!" She agreed, I plunge the sword into the floor beneath as the wind settles down. The two of us panted, staring at each other in fear.

"Damn" Upon hearing her story, that hits like a bullet straight to your balls. Father dead on the way to witness your birth, raped by the stepfather, killed by him on the process, killed your stepfather, scare the shit out of your mom and get possessed by the soul of her dead sister. This kid got some serious childhood issue is the only thing I can assure about. "She got a second identity?" I asked out, raising an eyebrow in confusion. Hope this can be explained scientifically… "No, not a second identity. More like a spiritual possession." "I KNEW IT!" I pulled out my sword from the floor and shouted. "You are a demon! Now get out of my student's body!" "No, no, no!" She explained anxiously. "We had a mutual relationship. I didn't even harm her, not even a bit." "You didn't?" "We are twin siblings" She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Now stop pointing me at that sword." "Sorry." I snapped my finger, the katana disappeared, back into my inventory. "So, you and Chara change according to the clock, right?" I asked once more. "Yeah, she got herself in the morning while I got mine in the night. We settled this agreement together, fair trade." She nodded. "How did you communicate, then?" I questioned curiously. "We would leave notes, on the fridge, phone, calendar or just on her hand." She replied. "Why are you curious about this thing?"

"Nothing." I shrugged. "If that's so I think I will be leaving." I stood up, it is not early right now, I need to get back. "I can't get out of this house, so I will only send you here." Klara stood at the doorstep of the house and spoke. "Hey, tell Chara she is doing very well." I turn my head back and spoke before leaving. "Goodbye teacher!" Klara waved her hands and shouted, I waved back before disappearing in the alleys.

"Hey Chara."

Klara sat on the study table as she scribbled those words on a piece of note.

"I heard you joined the competition; I am very proud that you take your first step. Also, your teacher visited you when you are off. He is a nice guy, although he tried to kill me several times but we get along. He is the first man I've talked to for several years you know? I am proud of you; hope you can try our best. We are always together, right?

Your sister: Klara"

She folded the note before placing it into her skirt pocket before standing up. "Ugh…" The sudden dizziness causes her to lean onto the table, she feel nauseous, as is something was steering up within her throat. Her sight blurred, her ears hummed, her legs feels numb as she barely made her way onto the bed beside her. "Argh…" She pulled out the sleeve, revealing a snowflake marked on her shoulder. It is glowing dimly flickering. "I, I had no time for this…" She covered her face and mumbled; time is ticking. All she hoped is to get the most out of it from her final days.
