Chapter 17 - Rays of Light at the End of the Tunnel

"M-Marie!"

That son of a bitch know her?

Ah, her story must be famous around here. Obviously, not only is he surprised, but so am I! Seeing Marie was like seeing rays of light at the end of the tunnel, but... why isn't she looking at us?

Marie began walking toward me...

"Marie! It's me!"

Wait, I'm wearing a mask, she not recognize me...

"I'm someone you know, will recognize me when I to remove the mask... Help me first, I'll explain everything later!"

Despite shouting at her, Marie seemed not to hear. She was staring fixedly at a place.

Well, it doesn't matter! That's just how she is. She's been through a lot, so expressing herself must be difficult. Now the scene I created for the "coward" will come true! The beautiful, graceful, dazzling, PERFECT Marie will save me! What a gorgeous heroine!

Marie kept walking toward me, even though she was in a lot of pain. I smiled behind the mask...

Marie kept walking... and she passed by me, not even looked at my face.

"Marie! I'm here!"

I thought she was so traumatized that she didn't know where she was going, but... that doesn't seem to be the case.

"Marie..."

I looked in the direction of her eyes, and... she was looking at the gate!

"Who in the world did this barbarity to my gate?"

"Huh?"

"I'll repeat it just once more, who in the world did this barbarity to my gate?"

What... Why is that important now? Isn't she seeing someone in excruciating pain? With six broken fingers?

I thought she was joking, but... her expression was cold. Damn it, the coward was right! She wouldn't save anyone!

She kept staring at the gate, and when she closed and opened her eyes:

"He!"

The motherfucker ratted me out.

"Hmm."

Now, now she finally looked at me! Damn it, is a gate more important than me?

The guy who was breaking my fingers was standing, and I was on my knees. As soon as he snitched on me, Marie kicked him!

It happened so fast that I have no idea what happened. What I saw was the guy flying and colliding with a tree.

"AHHHHHH!"

"Darling!"

"Let's go, I can still walk. That bastard is dead."

After saying that, the bastard left.

Good job, Marie! Wonderful-

Before I could finish my words, I felt an electric shock on my shoulder!

"AHHHHHH!"

Fuck!

"Was it you who did that barbarity to my gate?"

Damn, so this is what it feels like to get an electric shock? Damn it, and what 'barbarity'? Your gate is painted with blood, it looks better than before!

How can I respond with you shocking me?

Once again, I felt like I was getting an electric shock.

"Ugh!"

"Marie! Take it easy! And why is your gate so important?"

Half-dead, I looked in the direction of the voice.

"Huh?"

It was a grandmamma. Again, it was like a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.

"GRANDMAMMA! Help me! I will reward!"

It seems she didn't like being called "GRANDMAMMA" because she placed the palm of her hand on the ground, and out of nowhere... a big root came out of the ground!

"GRANDMAMMA is your mother! BASTARD!"

Fuck! Came towards me so quickly that I couldn't even say anything. Only one thought came to mind...

Am I going to die? Damn it, I shouldn't have been an atheist. I should have prayed and prayed...
