My fiery red sword that was stuck into the ground covered in snow. I held the handle of my sword to keep my body from collapsing to the ground. This time I was unlucky.
Cold, silent, pain from the knife that pierced my back. This snow-white detail that was falling down seemed to tell me I was over here. I can't move, it's done. It turns out that destiny is much stronger than me.
"I'm sorry .", I shed my tears over the snow that was on my feet.
I closed my eyes and gave everything to God. I will definitely die this time. Isn't this what I've been waiting for?
Sister~
Suddenly Hanabi's voice rang in my head. That smile on his face. I can see it clearly. Hanabi, I'm sorry. Looks like brother won't be coming home tonight.
Sorry ...
Come home later by yes? ... Hanabi wait loh~
Order Hanabi right before I leave for this place. I remember it now. I had to keep my promise to keep that smile on her face. I can't just give up.
There's still something I can do. I can't just give up. Fate, maybe now you're smiling because you saw me give up. But, I pulled out all my words earlier. Not yet, I will continue to fight.
I will prove that I am stronger than you. Don't think this little cut on my back will make my life end here. I'm sorry, but my sister's still waiting for me at home.
And I'm sure my friends are too. Ai, Raku, Mina, they must all be waiting for me to come back. And don't forget Kakume, Haru, and also Fumio. I won't let them lose any more of their teammates.
I ... will still live!!
I took my breath in. I opened my two eyes.
"Time ... Reverse ..."
I used my Time Control to slightly rewind time. I only rewinded it to a time a few seconds ago before Akame stabbed me with that knife in her hand. Time is retreating. I no longer feel the pain in my back that was pierced earlier.
Now I know there's Akame standing behind me. I strengthened my hand to the sword.
Huff ...
"Die you damn it!!!!"
I drew my sword that was stuck on the ground. I swung my sword eyes towards Akame who was behind me.
Jrat!!! Buk!!!
I cut off his left hand that was holding the knife until it fell to the ground. Soon Akame was melting and merging with the ground. And just then the sword I was holding vanished and returned to being a grain of light before finally disappearing.
My body can no longer move. My eyes are getting blurred. It seems like this is the limit of my strength. I've been hit by Lock this time. I really can't do anything. My left arm and left side are back to how they were. I really did reach my limits.
Taps! Taps! Taps! Taps!
I heard the sound of footsteps coming and approaching towards me. From the sound of her footsteps on the snow, I knew that coming towards me was something big. Don't tell me he's the Dark Knight.
A demon that has a body like a human but whose skin is blood red. A sinister face and a broken horn on his forehead. He was wearing a warrior-like armor in the past. The demon was over two meters tall. His body was muscularly stocky, his eyes bright red. It also has sharp fangs. His nails are black, long and pointed. The demon carried an iron sword with a length of almost two meters.
Just like Fumio said. From a distance the Dark Knight stepped slowly towards me with his greatsword that he had drawn. He looked at me with demonic eyes full of killing intent.
"Ohh .. you are ..", with my helpless body I took a knife that was carried by Akame that I killed.
"Fumio .. if you can do that now", I re-activated this cordless earphone-like device that I'm using.
"Halo ... Who is this?", that is Hanabi's voice. Fumio must have moved my communication line and connected it to the phone.
"Just want to sleep with Ai ..."
"Ohh .. Can you give her phone to sister Ai?"
"Ohh .. yes ... nih kak .. my sister wants to say", Hanabi gave her phone to Ai who was beside her.
"Hello? ... Kaito's? what's the matter?", asked Ai confusedly.
"Can you get out of my sister's room for a minute .. This is important ..."
"Yes ...",
After waiting a few seconds. Ai's voice sounded again.
"What's wrong?"
"You're beating me, aren't you?"
"Yes .. My hearing aid is still okay"
"Good horror .. I don't have much time .. but I'll tell you everything"
I briefly screamed at everything I experienced until I could stand here and call her. I could hear him crying when I said the word. He must have been very surprised and worried about me.
"Now the devil is getting closer .. Maybe this is the end of me ..."
"I thought by calling you .. something would happen .. but it didn't.", I fell to my knees on this cold snow.
"Kaito!!!. .. I can't hear you!!!"
"What's important tonight is that you go home?"
"You have to promise me!"
"I'm just a deaf girl who can't do anything ..."
"I live by asking others for help"
"So now I ask ... You must return home safely!!"
"I'm afraid I can't Ai .", I shed tears on my cheeks and raised my head. I looked at this starry night sky.
"The horror!!! I'm not the only one asking you to come home today"
"Ema said she was waiting for you too. She whispered to me to tell you this."
"Okino-sama .. don't give up .. don't turn into a demon again .. I beg ..."
"I don't know what it means .. but it's a yes .. I won't be able to hear you anymore .. My hearing aid is broken!", ai's last words before she hung up her phone blow.
"Based on deaf girls are useless ..", I muttered while smiling thinly.
"And I can't turn into a demon anymore either Ema .. I can't even do anything else right now."
The Dark Knight was getting closer. I can only kneel here and wait for him to chop off my head.
Am I gonna end up here?
