Avon Laura stared at me like someone having what was dearest to them ripped away.
"Eughh...!"
The disturbing sound of heavy dry-heaving echoed from Azaki Kiryuuin's mouth behind her, and her aghast face crumpled.
Fwoop~!
A single swing of her blade being her only response, that was all I needed to understand her intention.
The tip of her sword pointed straight at my face, and her expression, which had distorted to become that of a person half a step away from being brought to tears, reflected in my eyes.
Looking into those sapphire eyes of hers that glistened from the pressure of subdued tears, I could see right through her.
"I know what you want me to do, but I'll have to decline."
The mire in which she found herself stuck.
A situation in which I was her only hope.
"..."
"I'm not going to make an antidote for you."
"..."
"By the end of the year, Azaki Kiryuuin will die."
