Chapter 269 – Ashes (3)

“Huh… ?”

Strange sensations are felt in the head.
It feels like something like a needle is piercing my brain, but nothing is wrong.
As if blocked by something like a transparent membrane… It’s just a little ticklish.

It was then that I realized something was strange.
Ash uses unknown magic… She continued to ask me unanswered questions.
And in an instant of lying, a magical needle pierced my brain.

This is a magic that kills the opponent the moment he tells a lie.
However… Why don’t you die?
I was about to get chills down my spine…

“… Hmm.”

Ash looked at me quietly and closed her eyes.
The needles piercing my head disappeared, leaving only a slight tickle.
Ash opened his eyes again, let go of my hair and used her magic.

“Adonis Adonis.”
“Oh… ?!”

Then, the blood that had created the puddle returned to my body in an instant, and my wrists connected to me by themselves.
I felt a familiar sensation and clasped my wrist in bewilderment.
This… It’s too similar to Rapid’s magic.

It’s not healing magic, it’s undoing magic.
The reason why I returned to normal a while ago was not because of Rapid’s arrival, but because of the magic Ash used.
Ash, who brought me back to normal, turned his head away as if he had no interest in me.

“Having no memory of hypnosis means that the memory was erased after the experiment… Hypnosis is complete until memory deletion, Chimera is an attempt, X is incomplete… It must be because of the stealth test that the memory of the biological experiment was erased… After all, this time seems to be the most appropriate…”

Ash didn’t care that I was listening and started muttering to himself.
I heard Ash’s murmur and silently let out a sigh of relief in my heart.
First… It seems that he has somehow passed the dangerous hurdle.

“Ha… Ha… Ha…”
“Where did this happen and what happened? It’s a bit strange this time… Grape’s combat record is the same, Esther’s growth rate is average, but she’s Rapid’s friend… I got bored… Annoying…”

I gasped and listened to what Ash muttered.
Ash continued to spit out his thoughts as if he didn’t care if I listened.
It feels strange as if they are ignoring me as if I don’t exist.

“If you fight Esther, who will appear next, he will think that he is weak, so I think you can increase the training intensity… The riff… That should be enough, Crystal… Seeing it stop, X is destroyed… Is it Esther? Then it would have been completely destroyed… It takes a little while to figure out why Esther was here, but it’s time to awaken Hubble as well as the star formation… Maybe…”

Ash stopped talking nonsense and looked at me.
He looks at me without saying anything and touches my lips with his finger.
Ash, who was lost in thought, brought up a bloody story in a tone as if he was contemplating whether to separate his trash or throw it away.

“Public people… If you’re right, your mentality will be a little less… Still, killing…”
“Now, wait!”

I thought I could live now, but suddenly I’m going to kill you again?
I continued to listen to Ash muttering as if I was not in front of my eyes, and grabbed Ash’s leg.
Then Ash immediately cut off my arm holding his leg again.

“Aagh!”
“If you open your mouth one more time, I’ll get rid of your jaw.”

I shuddered at Ash’s careless behavior.
Rather, it would not have been so scary if the sadistic side had been happy with hitting or beating.
Ash remained expressionless from the beginning.

Don’t treat me like a person
A really annoying bug, I’m thinking about it, but I don’t accept anything other than a noise generator that breaks my concentration.
I have a foreboding feeling that if I open my mouth again, I will surely blow my jaw without warning.

“Rapid and I aren’t just friends… !”

Even so, I thought I had to say it now, so when I cried and said it, her arms returned to their original state.
The arm is cut off, returned, and cut again.
Ash spoke to me again in the midst of a maddening reality.

“If you’re not just friends… What?”
“Yes… ? Eh, eh… Heck… !”

I felt the fear of death, feeling that I was living to the point where it was difficult to breathe.
Eyes… It feels like it’s squeezing my heart and bursting it.
If you answer incorrectly, you will surely be killed right away.

“Tooth… Friendly… Friend…”
“Are you friendly?”
“To some extent… Ah, as much as Ash-sama… But… !”
“… Talk about how friendly you are.”
“Omg… ! Omg… ! Heo-eok… !”

In response to Ash’s question, I immediately recalled playing with Rapid’s inverted nipples and pressing his cock into her pussy.
I have a foreboding feeling that if I say such a thing, it will break into two pieces again.
I feel that they are moderately friendly, but not overly friendly… We have to talk about a relationship that makes Ash think of Rapid and not kill him.

“Movie… Together, as far as I can see…”
“Movie?”
“Romance! I am… Romance, novels… Because I like movies… !”
“It’s a movie…”

Ash closed his eyes and thought.
A sense of bloody tension is felt in the appearance of a judge contemplating whether to impose the death penalty or probation.
Ash trampled on the back of my hand again with the blade of the high heel.

“Aww!”
“Friend… Man, movie… And?”
“Romance, novels too! Drink, because it’s a hobby! Become friends!”
“Novel… I don’t like Rapid…”
“Sweet food… ! I like cake… Really, really… Friend… Whoops!”

I tried to swallow the scream that leaked out from the pain of the twisting blade in my pierced wrist, letting me know that I and Rapid were on good terms.
The more he did, the greater the angle at which the blade penetrated the wound, but he could not stop talking.
If Ash doesn’t agree enough, the hole will be pierced not in the back of his hand, but in his head, neck and heart.

“Is that all?”
“Yes, yes… ?”
“If it’s a cake, it’s a cake day. If it’s a novel, it’s a bookstore… I think we met in District 4, but we see each other at most once a week, right?”
“Ahhh… !”

The blade at Ash’s feet slowly cut through his wrist.
I screamed as I felt an unreal sensation in my wrist, which had already been cut several times today.
The foot with the wrist cut goes up and touches the top of the head.

I couldn’t be persuaded enough to meet once a week, in District 4, occasionally.
The blade on his head cuts through his scalp.
I couldn’t think of anything, and I cried out urgently with blood dripping from my forehead.

“Oh, today… ! I met you today! A moment ago! I was with Ash-sama when he asked me to come because he had business!”

Ash’s feet stop.
Wounds on the body return to their original state.
I stumbled on my face in exhaustion from the situation where I felt like I was going to go crazy, repeatedly getting hurt and getting healed.

“… You said you were with Rapid earlier?”
Haha… Ha… Fouret…”
“What did you do?”
“That… That… Uh, a movie… ! I saw a movie… Yo. This.”

I watched a movie with Rapid.
This is not a lie.
Honestly told the truth.

“It’s a movie…”
“Because there is a masterpiece romance movie currently playing! That… Did you see it?!”
“The title?”
“Because I can’t love you… ?”

Ash suddenly took out his vision phone like Rapid in the empty air.
Moving his hand as if searching for something, Ash glanced at me.
Looking down at me for a moment, Ash felt a little uneasy… No, he asked me a lot of disturbing questions.

“After watching?”
“Yes?”
“The running time is 1 hour and 50 minutes, and the outing time of Rapid is about 3 hours and 30 minutes. What did you do with the remaining 1 hour and 40 minutes?”

My heart trembles.
1 hour 40 minutes… Meanwhile I… He was treating Rapid’s inverted nipples.
I broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Ash.

“Worry… Listen, I gave… It is.”
“Worry?”
“Yes, Rapid… These days, I have a problem…”
“Hmm… What worries?”
“That… That is…”

When Ash learns that inverted nipples are a concern, and that we are having such a conversation, Ash will think that the relationship between me and Rapid is closer than he thought.
In that moment, I die.
It is certain that four or six pieces will die, not two.

“I can’t speak… Aagh!”

The moment I refused to answer, a flaming sword appeared in Ash’s hand and pierced my waist.
I twisted my back abnormally and arched my back.
The unpleasant sensation of burning the stomach and the bitter, acrid liquid regurgitated down the throat.

“Say it again.”
“Huh… ! Heo-eok… ! Omg… ! I can’t speak… Aww!”

Ash’s sword is pulled from his waist, and his body returns to normal.
The sword is inserted again, and the stomach burns.
The sword is drawn again, and the body returns to its original state.

I wept at the terrible torture.
It might be neater to kill him.
I have an ominous feeling that if I do something really wrong, I will not die for the rest of my life and I will be burned.

But, it doesn’t kill…
I stuck with my attitude, thinking that there must be a reason why Ash didn’t kill me.
If I had thought that I was useless for a moment because I couldn’t tell the secret, I would have killed him right away.

“Say it again.”
“Mo, I can’t… ! I really, really can’t say… ! It’s Rapid’s secret! That… !”

Ash, who just a moment ago said he would kill me, continues to recover and save me, which is a huge improvement.
It’s tantamount to proving the fact that you’re thinking of keeping me alive.
As expected, Ash stopped stabbing me with his sword.

“Hmm…”
“Ha… Ha… Ha… Oops?!”
“Shut up.”

After removing the sword from me, Ash agonized over something and manipulated the vision phone.
Ash’s foot enters my mouth, relieved that the torture has stopped.
It is not the part where the blade is located, but the front heel covered with hard metal makes the mouth bloody.

I think my front teeth are broken.
I closed my eyes, wondering if I was going to torture myself this time.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ears.

“Hello.”
[Hello? Ash… Why? Me, I’m practicing well…]
“I want to ask you something.”

It’s Rapid’s voice.
Ash called Rapid.
I opened my eyes wide and looked up at Ash with my mouth shut.

“What did you do today?”

Ash asked Rapid and pointed his sword at my throat.
It’s a little bit, but I get goosebumps at Ash’s voice, which feels kind.
If it’s different from what I said, I’m going to kill myself immediately if I get an unsatisfactory answer.
