Divine Protection: The Pride System
Episode 15: The Unexpected Visitor
Why...why doesn't everything exist?
—What is this dream?
Where's mommy? Where's dad? Where's everybody?
Why...why can't I see them all? Why can't I find them all?
—Is this just a dream?
This is not my village! I can't find my house anywhere! So this is definitely not my village... But...
Why do I feel pain?
“Ah, urk..”
Why did this happen?
Why doesn't everyone exist?
Why did they leave?
Why can I only see their bodies?
Why is everyone's house on fire?
Why is there no one?
Why are they all dead?
Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? Why?—
Why did they leave me alone?
“Ah, aaah.
Be ill.
My chest hurts, my mind can't think of anything. It hurts, it hurts too much, I can't help it anymore.
Dad, mom, where are you? I'm sick, I don't want to die. I want to be with you guys again.
It hurts, it hurts so much, help me, it hurts. My chest hurts so much, it hurts, please, help me.
Why would... Why is no one listening to me? It's so sick!
My heart hurts so much! What the hell is going on with me? My chest wants to explode. It's so sick!
I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! It's sick! Why is! Why is! Why is no one helping me?!
It's sick! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Pain!—
“Heh, he, hehe.
I don't know what else to do.– no, maybe I'm too late to do something.
My last chance to say the right thing, should I try?
Hey, why and how did I end up in this condition?
“What's funny?”
Suddenly, I heard a voice.
The owner of those striped eyes was filled with darkness, his lips smiling faintly as he stared at the hundreds of deaths.
“Hey, what's funny?”
A funny? What's so funny? You can't even ask me the answer.
Nothing funny from the beginning. Nothing, so what are you really asking?
Confusing question. Is this some kind of nonsense or a riddle?
Even if you force me to answer, the answer is nonexistent. But, the time I spent in silence was all very difficult.
Is this some kind of destiny? How many times did this actually happen?
“—What's funny?”
Nothing is funny.
“Huu, heh, heehee.
Then, the one who asked the wrong one?
Or is this the only person who can't read the atmosphere, so have fun like this?
Did he enjoy the sight of the little boy who was fooled by my despair, and my sorrow?
If so, then his humanity must have completely reversed 180 degrees.
“—What's funny?”
Stop it, nothing funny. Why do you keep asking the same question over and over again?
Stop it, stay away from me, don't bother me. Why do you keep playing me? Are you having fun with my grief?
Nothing funny, don't have fun.
This is not fair, please... Please let me die.
Can't I die peacefully? I just want to die calm.
As peaceful as possible, as if wanting to sleep, that was the most delicious way to die for me.
But that hope will not come true. Far from being granted, my destiny is entirely the opposite.
“Hey, what are—”
Funnier.
The question that was searching for the answer many times suddenly disappeared like a fog.
What the hell's going on? I thought, it immediately disappeared as the sound of hope suddenly shook my entire mind.
“MEILY-CHANNNNNNNNN–!!!”
.....
My eyes widened from their sockets, biting hard at despair, just for a few moments until my body was free, in such a condition, I groaned and moved my lips while stunned.
“Eras... chan?”
