Chapter 271 – Ashes (5)

“Aagh! Aww! Evil! Noah!”
“It’s noisy.”
“Oh… Nope… Omg…”

He scratches the floor with his nails, rolls his eyes, bites his teeth and screams.
After hearing what Ash said after seeing that, I thought that this was too much, so I restrained myself a little and closed my eyes tightly and crouched down.
It’s a strange situation that’s hard to say.

It wasn’t difficult to pretend to be sick when you’re not sick.
The pain of being tortured by Ash a moment ago still lingered in his body, and it was possible just to hold on to the drifting sensations like fog.
The pained performance continued until Ash looked down at me and clapped his hands in full satisfaction.

“Good… Stop.”
“Omg… Heo-eok… Omg…”

I gasped for breath as if I was in real pain after finishing the passionate performance with Ash’s signal.
Ash trampled my face with the bladeless shoe and crossed his arms.
It’s a cold attitude that makes you feel that you don’t even want to touch it.

“Since the head is attached, no matter how stupid you are, you will understand…” I can give you this pain anytime.”
“Ah… Ah, four… Yes!”
“Then tell me what to do next.”

I’m not sick at all… What should I do… ?
I looked up at Ash with a puzzled face, then came to my senses and lowered my head.
In any case, you have to do something that Ash will like to hear.

“You must try not to get sick!”
“That’s normal… How should I try?”
“Uh… Whoops!”

After a moment of hesitation, Ash’s foot blew my chin.
It comes back to normal as if you had a dream for a while.
Ash stepped on my head and spoke in a pitiful tone.

“It is forbidden to listen to Rapid’s concerns from now on.”
“Yes… Yep!”
“It’s forbidden to become friends any more than this. Touching is also prohibited. Don’t touch don’t approach Don’t breathe in the same place as Rapid. Don’t dirty my, Rapid.”
“Kuuk… Keck! Big… !”

Ears, eyes, mouth, and forehead are sequentially stamped with the bladed heel and then returned.
Ash got angry at me and kicked me as if to take out his anger, then exhaled a long breath and lowered his foot.
Clean, unstained shoes step on the floor with a clear, kang sound.

“But if you’ve already become close with him, he’s a very sensitive child… I can’t help it… If you have something to do with Rapid, meet him. And damage, never refuse.”
“Uh… ? Ah yes… ! Yes… ? Yes!”

Conversation gets jumbled up.
I can’t help it, so it’s okay if I meet you if there’s something I can do, but I can’t avoid it and refuse… ?
I nodded my head while questioning Ash’s order, which was inconsistent.

“In your hands, it won’t be seen by Rapid, but… Yeah, if you get disgusted with Rapid because of that, you’ll suffer from the pain of bursting that filthy thing, so take care of it.”
“Yes, yes… !”
“Get away from Rapid. Keep your distance If you think you’re going to think dirty thoughts while watching Rapid, dig out your own eyes.”
“Uh… Ah yes… !”
“If Rapid asks you to do something, do it even at the risk of your life. You’re Rapid’s stress-relieving punching bag… If Rapid dies, he dies, if it goes off, it goes off, if he says explode his head, he explodes.”
“Yes? Yes!”

I’m affirming everything Ash said, but I don’t know what he’s talking about.
I know you’re hoping you don’t get close with Rapid, but that doesn’t mean he’ll suddenly disappear or keep your distance, and if Rapid tells you to pop his head, he’ll explode… ?
It’s a mess.

“Don’t tell anyone what happened here.”
“Yes? Yep, yes! Of course!”
“Tsk…”

I was eagerly interpreting the incomprehensible words and bowing my head.
As I lay down, I could see Ash’s two feet on one side of my limited field of vision.
I see the foot turn, and Ash’s foot disappears from sight with a clicking sound.

I was soaked in anxiety as I lost sight of Ash’s feet.
Where did your feet go?
No way… Did you change your mind to kill because you were annoyed by talking?

Am I too obvious that I don’t understand what Ash is saying?
Could it be behind me by now?
Are you contemplating whether or not to take a sword and strike it down?

“I understand everything, I understand what you mean… !”

I trembled as I apologized to Ash with all my might.
Ash is a crazy bitch who doesn’t know what to do.
Apologize once, apologize again… You just have to cater.

“When Rapid calls, I will definitely go, and when we meet, I won’t breathe as much as I can, and I won’t think dirty! I will become a loyal stress-relieving punching bag that will do anything Rapid tells me to do!”

I slammed my forehead into the ground and slammed out everything I understood on my own terms.
But Ash didn’t respond to me.
I wondered if I didn’t like the angle at which I hit my head, so I lifted my waist up to feel more polite.

There are no words.
Maybe it’s not this, do you want something else?
Now that you’ve heard enough of Rapid’s warnings, you might want to confirm his obedience.

“Long live Ash! Long live Ash! Ash…”

I praised Ash and waited for him to say the next word. I slowly raised my head while looking at Ash.
However, Ash was nowhere to be seen in the room, let alone in front of his eyes.
Confused, I slowly looked around.

Is there… ?
Did you go… Did you go
Went… ?

“Pup!”

Apparently, he disappeared as soon as he finished his business and said everything to me.
I frowned and slammed my feet on the floor, cursing at Ash.
Dog bitch, crazy bitch, psychotic bitch, kill bitch… !

I don’t know how or why it disappeared without any sound or light.
The only way out of the room is right behind me, and if I had walked out, there’s no way I wouldn’t have noticed.
Is there a way for Ash to disappear in an instant like Rapid, who uses space-shifting magic?

But I’ve never heard of Ash using teleportation magic like Rapid…
If it’s not space movement, it seems possible if you use invisibility or concealment magic…
Thinking so, I immediately raised my hand and slapped my cheek with goose bumps running down my spine.

“Pup! You can’t understand Ash’s words right away! You bastard!”

Punishing myself, I desperately searched for traces of Ash.
If you made it invisible, nearby… He’ll be making sure I’m listening to him properly.
Is there any place where I can see a trace somewhere… Like footsteps, dust colliding without passing through in the form of ash… Where to… Does not exist.

Now is the moment when Ash can reveal himself as my loyal figure.
Even so, Ash doesn’t show himself.
Only then did I stop slapping myself and start crawling around the room and looking around.

Scattered, burning documents, research results… Smoke rises from the broken monitor.
Broken tablets, burnt notes… Ashes…
… Dead body.

Only then did I see Leaf’s corpse, which had an unrealistic shape like a messy piece of meat.
Blood with an unpleasant smell leaked from the cut surface, which looked like burnt meat from grilling.
There is no heart, and the head is pierced… It’s so brutal that it’s hard to see even in the raid area… Definitely dead

I turned my gaze away from Leaf’s corpse and turned around the room.
Ash doesn’t show up.
Realizing that Ash had really disappeared, I picked up the half-burnt research material and threw it.

“You trash boy!”

Devil bitch, do you torture people?
How could you do such a cruel thing… To inflict pain on people to manipulate them as they please… !
I thought she was a scary bitch, but I didn’t expect her to be such a crazy psychopath murder addict pervert trash bitch.

How dare you know who I am… Even if only the hypnosis app was fine… No, it’s a relief that the hypnosis app is broken…
The hypnosis app doesn’t work for Ash… Maybe… I haven’t tried it myself, but it doesn’t seem to work.
He couldn’t even try, so the hypnosis app wasn’t caught, so I’m alive now… You have to think.

Still, getting hot gets hot.
They didn’t come to kill me knowing that I had a hypnosis app, they just killed me because it was a test subject.
I don’t know what kind of experiment the test subject is, but isn’t the subject a victim?

Attempting to kill it at will is disqualification as a magical girl.
If you’re a magical girl, you should know how to care for, care for, and save the person who became a test subject more like Rapid.
Ash, this vicious bitch… From now on, Ash will no longer be a magical girl, but garbage… No, the word garbage is a waste.

Ash is Ash.
The word ash now refers to filth more than trash to me.
Ash is not like filth, filth is like ash.

“Ouch… !”

That Ash-like bitch… He must be hiding all of these things from Rapid, right?
He is known to people as an absolute guardian god full of charisma, but his true nature is a god of destruction.
Did he even hand over his conscience to the negative?

Are you trying to kill me… No, it’s not that the behavior isn’t understandable.
Seen from Ash’s point of view, I am an ordinary person without any ability who saw the scene where Ash, the highest-level magical girl, number one, and the guardian deity, tried to kill a magical girl.
Even if I were Ash, he would want to kill a guy like me.

Judging from the fact that when he talked to Rapid, he talked as if he was hiding his current actions, it is a secret from Rapid that Ash goes out to kill magical girls.
Now that I know you’re keeping it a secret from Rapid… No, then there is no reason to keep me alive.
I saved him because he was friendly with Rapid… But, even though I know what Ash is keeping a secret from Rapid… Keep alive…

The reason I saved him was because I was Rapid’s friend… And because I thought I wouldn’t be able to say anything because of some strange magic.
I don’t know why magic doesn’t work on me, but I understand why Ash kept me alive.
Then why did she try to kill me?

I didn’t even know I could use a hypnosis app… I didn’t even know he was friends with Rapid… I don’t know what kind of relationship he has with Grape and Esther.
He tried to kill me, thinking that if I were alive, nothing but trouble would happen.
The reason he wanted to kill me was… I’m bored… There is nothing else.

“Ha… Ha… Whoa…”

… Yes, that’s all.
That’s it… I didn’t even know I was using a hypnosis app… Ash knows nothing…
… But why…

Why… Are you killing magical girls?
Being on the negative side… ?
No, that’s… No.

A magical girl who kills as many negatives as Ash… There is no magical girl strong enough to be feared by the executives.
Ash, Rapid always… Beside me, teaching me… She is famous for being a magical girl like her senior.
Different… Even magical girls… Longing…

The strongest…
1st place, guardian deity…
Like the sun… Magic Girl…

But why?
Until now, I had thought that if I touched Rapid, I would die if I found out about it.
When she stopped Rapid’s growth, she became enraged that she had trampled on the future of her ally, Magical Girl, as the best magical girl who helps magical girls grow, as Rapid’s ally, and as a guardian deity that prevents negatives from the human side, and kills them. .

All wrong.
Just… Tried to kill
Why?

Because I forgot to watch you kill a magical girl?
Why would you kill a magical girl?
Why did Ash suddenly appear where Leaf was?

It is natural for a magical girl to kill negative Esther.
However, the reason for killing Riff… ?
I’m not killing all magical girls.
Are there rules for killing magical girls?

[… You.]
“Wow?!”

I lost my temper and lost my thoughts, so I crouched down in surprise to the point of jumping up at the sound of a machine coming from the floor.
Just as I had shown to Ash, I looked up slowly after taking the posture of apologizing.
I don’t know when it came before my eyes… Something I don’t know what to say… There was.

Camera… Thorn… Or, feet… ?
What am I supposed to say about this… A mechanical bug with a broken machine… ?
A bizarre-looking object pointed at the camera lens at me and put one toe up.

[I have a suggestion.]
“Uh… ?”

This mechanical sound, the sound quality has deteriorated a little, but it is the sound that I was listening to until a while ago.
A beat late, I noticed the identity of the machine.
It is X.

The overhead camera… If you look closely, it’s half of the machine inside the head.
The legs supporting the head seem to have been assembled by twisting and twisting unknown things.
The completely broken X looked up at me with a mechanical body smaller than a puppy and said,

[Would you like to do business with me?]
