WANT TO DIE WITH ME?

Chapter 13 - Want to die with me?

I came out of the bathroom after urinating which I had been holding for the past few hours, because I didn't want to draw too much attention so I couldn't go in the middle of a meeting to avoid looking at me. For that I use Haruka who is out of class to go to the toilet.

"Now it's time to go back to class ...,"

I was walking in a deserted corridor because the school had ended about an hour ago. Even so, sometimes there are still some students who settle in the class, usually they are productive students like students who join a club. Or students who join a student/i organization such as OSIS.

While I was on my way to class, I suddenly remembered what Haruka said yesterday. About him wanting to make a novel to save someone, to be honest, it bothers me a lot right now.

I've told myself many times not to interfere in other people's affairs. But somehow my body felt like it wanted to reject her desire to ignore Haruka, an example of which is right now. Unconsciously, I stopped walking.

Look to the right to reflect in a window of another class. My shadow glared from the window.

Is this really me?

Was I always like this?

My eyes are still dead as usual.

What am I living for?

These questions began to come to my mind. I remember why I am still alive today. I wanted to find out the truth in my life, the true self of myself. But I forgot about it, since when I don't know. But maybe since I haven't borrowed a novel in the library in the past few days.

Of course I stayed in the library, only I went there only to hear Haruka review the novels that were interesting to her.

Wait, since when did I move for someone else?

I realized that there was something strange about me since Haruka moved to my class. I started to get close to someone who even I myself wanted to get away from, I started to notice his behavior when I was previously indifferent to others, I started to communicate with her that even I previously wanted to avoid talking to others.

The two memories were connected to each other, for some reason. I felt that the man named Zhou was me, and the woman named Ning'er was actually Haruka. The memories overlapped, and then came the girl on the bridge who invited me to die with her.

The girl on the bridge muttered something, something important that I should have known.

"Remember Akira! Remember! ... Remember our promise 1000 years ago. I am that girl, as well as Ning'er. The two of us have reincarnated up to three times just to wait for you to be born, Akira ... Please save my last reincarnation!"

I opened my eyes and ran up the stairs. I now remember, I remember it clearly, I was the reincarnation of Zhou who was a Devil 1000 years ago, and to Haruka, she was a Goddess named Ning'er.

We are cursed by the supreme God to be reincarnated into human beings, and are also not entitled to happiness.

Now that everything was very clear, the girl on the bridge was Haruka's reincarnation before, exactly 17 years ago before I was born. He died in an accident, and Haruka was his last chance for reincarnation.

I ran up the stairs one by one with breaths of exhaustion and a body filled with sweat. Not infrequently I stumbled, but I immediately got up and continued running again.

I am not an athletic human being, my physical ability is even below the average of others. I have never worked as hard as anyone, this is my first time. I work really hard, just for a girl.

Moments later I managed to see the door at the end of the stairs, and the face was hard. The wind blew on my sweaty face, and it was so cold.

I set my breath for a moment, now I'm on the roof of the school. Where is the forbidden place for Japanese students/i to visit unless there is a very important or sudden need. Standing on the edge of the roof was Haruka who was staring down.

He turned around, only to look me in the eye directly while writing something on his writing book.

"Hey Akira, want to die with me?"
