Chapter 108 – Catastrophe (3)
“······.”
“······.”
The back alley across from the block where ‘Stay this place’ is located.
Although this place cannot be seen from inside the café, the inside of the café can be seen from here, so it was an appropriate spot to stalk Stay, the café owner.
May Ruina and Mir Ryuin, who had found this very appropriate spot at a glance with their extreme stalking power, were looking very depressed at Stay’s café.
“······Oh, it came out.”
While the two people’s eyes were focused on Stay’s café, a woman with dark red short hair came out of the café.
As she came out as if running away, she opened the door with a careful hand, fearing it might break. Her face was completely contemplative.
They were two people who intuited the conversation and the situation that occurred inside with the transcendental sense unique to S-class awakened people, but it was only when they actually saw Dain Adamas’ meditative face that they realized what had happened.
“······Are we really abandoned?”
“······Yes.”
Of the three, even Dain Adamas, who was probably the least friendly towards Stay, ended up like that and was kicked out, so the two had no choice but to admit it.
The happy days with Stay that I spent over the past month are no more.
The two people, who were so addicted to Stay that they couldn’t even survive a week without her by her side and even used her transformation magic to stalk her, spent the same amount of time in the same space with her for a month. Br〉
I am even more addicted to Stay than I was a month ago.
Therefore, the current reality of the two people not having Stay, the reality of being completely abandoned by Stay and not being able to meet him anymore, was so terrible that they could never endure it.
“Then I have no choice but to kidnap Mr. Stay and imprison him in my room. “I can no longer imagine life without Mr. Stay.”
So much so that they bring up such extreme and criminal words as kidnapping and confinement as if it were natural.
“······I tried that, but it didn’t work. What should I say if I stand in front of Stay and make eye contact with him? “As your body gets hotter, all thoughts of resistance disappear?”
Dain Adamas, who had already returned to the back alley, picked up the words that May Ruina had spilled and refuted her opinion.
Dain Adamas was uncharacteristically dull, and her voice was full of moisture due to having been scolded by Stay in front of her just now, but what she gave was valuable advice based on her own experience.
“Of course, I could just ignore it until I heard that guy’s applause, but once I heard the applause, I couldn’t stand it anymore. The idea of forcing myself to stay using my own strength and will is losing its power. So, don’t get in trouble for no reason and don’t do anything like that. I don’t want sparks flying because of you again. “I don’t want to be hated by The Stay here.”
Dain Adamas was afraid just imagining how angry Stay would be if May Ruina attempted to kidnap and imprison him and failed.
“······If there is anything more to hate. Dain Adamas is probably right. But I don’t have anything like that. In addition to being hated by Mr. Stay, you are probably also being hated by him, right? Anyway, I don’t think Stay would have any favorability to lose. Quickly. Anyway, if I’m going to be hated anyway, I’ll just leave him by my side and be hated… “
But unfortunately for Dain Adamas, the current May Ruina was not in a position to listen to her advice.
Mei Ruina’s time stopped just a moment ago when she heard the words “Fuck off” From Stay’s mouth.
Even though less than 10 minutes had passed, she was Mei Ruina, who had become so addicted to him that she couldn’t imagine life without him, so her time would have stopped at the moment she heard him tell her to go away.
The moment I heard those words was the moment of May Ruina’s last conversation with Stay.
There will be no stay in the time after that, and May Ruina will live her whole life in a time without stay.
But now that Mei Ruina has become unable to live without her stay, she has no choice but to view kidnapping and confinement as an inevitable choice for her survival.
“If you don’t want to help, get out of the way, Dain Adamas. I really can’t stand it now. So, if you interfere… I will get furious.”
Kidnapping and imprisoning Stay was a matter of survival for the current Mei Ruina, so it was natural for her to risk her life, and that is why she was able to fight without hesitation against the world’s strongest human in front of her.
A golden stigmata spread out on Mei Ruina’s back, and golden chains began to slowly protrude from her sleeves.
Mei Ruina, who appears in a ‘striking form’ when she decides to destroy the enemy in front of her.
Dain Adamas’ eyes turned sharp at the sight he had seen when attacking the EX-class gate in the past.
“······Ha, this is ridiculous. “I never thought I would fight with you like this.”
“I still have a lot of things I want to solve. It was you, Dain Adamas, who revealed your identity in front of Stay. “It’s all because of you that this happened.”
“You blame me for this. What a shady liar. Don’t you still know that the longer you delay your lie being caught, the harder it will be to get behind it?”
“I was able to avoid getting caught!”
“For life? Really?”
“······Oh my goodness. That’s Okay! No need for conversation! Just hit this and get out!”
Everything Dain Adamas said was correct, and Mei Ruina couldn’t refute what she said, so she just chose to use violence.
Just before the golden chain flew like an arrow and touched Dain Adamas’ forehead.
Kaang!
“Stop. Are you both crazy?”
A three-layer magic circle stretched out right in front of Dain Adamas’ forehead, blocking Mei Ruina’s golden chain.
It was Mir Ryuin who stopped Mei Ruina’s chains.
“What. Are you also disturbing Mir Ryuin? Mir Ryuin needs to take my side! We’re in the same situation! Mir Ryuin was completely abandoned by Stay just like me! But how can we side with Mr. Adamas, the man who made us look like this!”
May Ruina, who was already in an unstable state due to Mir Ryuin’s defense magic, spoke as if she was truly dumbfounded.
“Calm down! This is right in front of Stay’s café! You said it was okay to be hated, but would you be able to handle Stay’s anger even if you destroyed his entire café?”
“Oh, no…”
However, Mir Ryuin’s very rational question that followed immediately made her lower her tail and kill her, which seemed like she was about to explode.
As I was preparing to open a café with Stay over the past month, I saw with my own eyes how much he cherished his café, so even for Mei Ruina, who has no pretense, it would have been tough for her to destroy Stay’s café.
Only after calming down through her stay method, Mei Ruina was able to talk, and her Mir Ryuin sighed and spoke to her.
“And. May Ruina, surprisingly, the situation may not be the worst. She said it was too early to use extreme measures such as kidnapping and confinement.”
Mir Ryuin’s words that the situation may not be the worst.
Stay’s expression and voice just now sounded too absurd for Mei Ruina, who had already been traumatized, to hear, so she asked back in a voice that seemed like she couldn’t understand what he was talking about.
“······Well, what does that mean? I heard it clearly from Stay’s mouth. Turn it off, turn it off. He even cursed and told us to get out of the way. I even heard that Dain Adamas didn’t want to see me…”
Mir Ryuin did not waver at all even while receiving Mei Ruina’s gaze as if she were looking at someone who could not accept reality and was only chasing after illusions.
“Right there. Saying that you don’t want to see it. Stay was definitely ugly, and she told Adamas, who was trying to survive only for her, to get away because she didn’t want to see him.”
“Hey.”
“But before I told her to fuck off because I didn’t want to see her, she added the word ‘for now.’ To sum up, Stay said to Dain Adamas, ‘If you understand, get out. ‘Because I don’t want to see you anymore now,’ she said. Now you know what I mean, right? Stay says he doesn’t want to see us right now. In other words, she may look for an opportunity to restore the relationship, not now, but over time!”
The reason Mir Ryuin could not be shaken was because she had a basis to hold on to.
It wasn’t something he said to himself, but to Adamas, who was the least guilty of the three, and it only seemed like he was caught off guard by the word ‘for now’, but in any case, Mir Ryuin used the ‘for now’ mentioned by Stay as the basis. They were claiming that it was not over yet.
In fact, he had no choice but to use this logic because it was obvious that if he didn’t do this, he would have a mental breakdown like Mei Ruina and, like Dain Adamas, who tried to kidnap and imprison Stay, would be bullied and subdued from the front and receive eternal contempt and loathing.
However, if you put aside the circumstances and look at the validity of Mir Ryuin’s logic, there was something about her that was secretly trustworthy.
“Well, it seems like that…!”
“Well, really?! Wow, we still have one chance, right?!”
In fact, there was only a speck of trustworthy part of the logic that Mir Ryuin had just presented, but even that amount was very precious to the two of them.
“Okay, Mir Ryuin! Then let’s wait! Until Mr. Stay’s anger calms down to some extent, and we can communicate!”
“Okay! Let’s do it! If I can communicate, if Stay listens to me, I can persuade him as much as I want! Because I am Mir Ryuin! There is so much I can give to Stay!”
“······.”
Dain Adamas thought as he watched the two people burning the circuit of hope even after going through such a situation.
‘I did a perfect job of not getting involved with these people and starting from the gate.’
And so the three people’s endless wait began.
