C- Cube

That tiny flaw wil surely grant me victory! Yes, such a happy day-Whats with that reaction! And who I am, would you like to know-Let me answer that question. To justify happines with curelty, to be impressed by such an argument! I am the very same. That impresses me as well. Impressed by the cruelty that is about tot ake form! How strange, You shouldt be like this. They use emotions as a means to justify their cruelty. You had me going too. Going by the cruelty Im about to give you! You are meerlyStop you say? Does this mean that your friends do not truly know who you are? Then let me show them. You have murdered people, you have killed them, wanting more and more death ana agony. Hundreds, thousahnds, maybe more. You killed, regardless of their sins. Men, women, children and elders. Without distinction. As if I would-It would be a relief to tell them who you are. Your words pissed me off, so I attacked you. Dont think of it any other way. Kids these days can get ticked off quite easily. Fair enough, youre quite calm, calm enough not to cry or scream unless something terrible happened. It makes me want to emrarras you all the more. What was that term, tsundere? Your insults from before did not satisfy me so I felt like cutting you. You should think of it that way. Young people these days are quick to be angered. SO be it. Without screaming, without revealing any agony or pained expressio, even though youre feeling it inside. That is why Im going to put you to shame. I wonder whats that called? Tsundere? Like I care. As if Id know. Wow human, bad move, I dont normally kill humans, but if you interfere, I wont hesitate. Youve got nothing to do with this-I dont? Please le it be. It feels like Im looking into the apst. I It feels trange. Oh young man, thats no very wise of you. I dont want to kill anyone here, but I cant guarantee anything if youre going to get in my way. I cant just sit and watch, though. She came all this way for my help. And besides, youve pissed me off a bit, too. So I kind of feel like putting you in your place. Its not really my stile though. Thats not good either-She came this fare because she trusted me. Besides, Im getting a bit annoyed myself. Thats why I need to settle this with you now. Just stay as you are, Haruaki. Why wont you unseathe the blade? I dont like bloodshed. Dont you worry, itll still hurt like hell. Garbage and the boy protecting the garbage, please break into little bits and pieces! Infinite observations lead to a single result I use the power of the opponents attack hitting the wekest point over her weapon to destory it. I have to do it. Yes. I will do it.-What are you planning to do now? Ill hear your screams of terror. How exciting! Ill hear your screams of terror. How exciting!-Now let me hear your screams as I tear you apart bitch!-You know, Im several hundred years more experienced than you are at making people scream! Now scream. 3rd mechanish, slicing descending form, guilotine.-Howhow could you rape me like that? Bitch. Ill kill you, crush you, and rip you to bits and pieces. There can only be one outcome from the Mutsui atack-Absorb the power of the opponents attacks, and use it against them. Create a weak point, and destroy their weapon. I must do it. Yes, lets do it. Oh, what are you plannint to do now?-Il hear your cream now. Im looking forward to it! From now on Ill be hearing your scream. This will be fun. Now let me hear that plesant scream as you die, bitch! This is how you make a scream louder. There are a couple hundreds of years diffrence in our experience. Cry.-Thid mechanish, falling shredder type-guilotine. How dare you rape me to such an extent! Ill kill you then pulverize your bitch ass. I want to hear you scream. Thats the reason for my existence. So this is rain, this is my first time seeing it. I didnt know it was so cold. Now you know, this is what you wanted to see. Who I really am. Everything she said was true, H. Ive killed hundreds, I was made to kill. Thats why Im cursed. And Ironically, by being cursed and gaining counciouness, I learned the concept of sin. That happens often.-Perhaps, my burse is simple,common. It drives my

owner mad, forcing him to use me. Yes, it happens often. I told you already, your curse wont affect me. Thats why youre safe here. No, Ive realized the fundamental problem with that. I tried so hard to chase my hopes and dreams. Tried to hard not to think about it. I was trying to forget, even though it was all futile!-Calm down Fear, what are you saying?-I have sin, the sin of killing. Of murdering many people. Thats why the sin I bear is cursed! And my punishmentwhatis my punishment?-Hey, can I really be forgiven?-Lets go home, Its freezing out here.-Your reply is kind. So kind that its terrible. My only choice is to-Wait fear!-Thank you. I doubt this is a big deal But Im going to force you to follow this suggestion. Lets go to the hospital. You dont want to go?-If so?-I;ll be mad. Very mad. Why would you chase her? She left on her own will Fleeing might be the best choice. SheShe said it;d be better if she just continued sleeping alone. She didnt flee, shes just trying to end this in an even worse way. Please, Ill never ask for something like this again, Kono-nee.Th-Thats unfair. You promised youd stop callimg he that after we became high schoolers.-You can never say no when I call you that, though.-Like I care. Just talking to myself here. She most likely didnt understand the obvious. Despite its simplicity.-What do you mean-Oh you heard that? I guess I cant hide it anymore. Her question is as follows. Its a hint to understanding her talkg about sins and curses. Simply put , its like this. I never had you tell me the answer Haruaki.-Do you mean.-Shes the same as me. She thinks in the same way I used to. And she doesnt have an answer, just like the current me. Yet, Ive always been at your house. Thats what I meant. Rain? This is another first. I seeSo its this cold This is an ironic story, but The guilt of being cursed has taught me the meaning of sins. Thats something that happens a lot-That may be true. My curse may be something that happens a lot. I always trouble each of my owners and end up throwing them into calamities by using me. Thats right. It happens a lot. I told you, curses dont work on me. Youll have no problems staying here. Thats wrong. I realize it now. I was too caught up in stubbornly chasing after hope And ended up foolishly fogetting-Theres no such thing! I have many sins! Ive killed people! The sin of killing. Thats why Im cursed to sin. Thats why the punishment is Punishment isWhat is it? Hey, is it alright to forgive me? Lets go home. Its too cold here. Your response is kind. Your kindess is the worst. As I thought I Thank you. It may not be fatal but-However Ill give an order-like suggestion. Lets go to the hospital. Are you saying youre not going?-What will you do if thats the case? Ill get mad. Even if its me. What do you plan on doing after you catch up to her? She left of her own will. Also, that person doesnt apperar to have given up, even after losing an arm. I believe running away is a splendid tactic. SheShe said, Its best of I sleep alone. She didnt run away. Shes trying to end it ina much more horrific way. Im begging you. Its my lifetime wish. Konone-Its not fair-Didnt you promise me to stop calling me that? In the past, youve always listened to me when I asked you this way, right? I don.t know. Ill be talking to myself here But she probably doesnt have the common sense. Even though its extremely simple. Whad do you mean-Ooops, did I say that out loud? If you heard me, I guess I have no choice. This is her question. The hint is what she said about curses and sins. To put it in simple terms, its like this. I didnt make you give me the answer. You meanShes the same as me. She has the same thought as I did in the past. And hasnt found an answer to it yet, like me right now. But, im always here. Thats what I mean. Screams. Pitiful screams, Comical screams. Painful screams. They;re all nostalgic screams. I am a tool, I was a tool. I was used, utilized, and needed. Screamx3 It proves who I am. Shut upx2. Silence. Dont scream, shut up. Shut up. The screams are enough. The screams, this is the 19th mecanish. Drilling hex form, man perfoator. One form of myself, Ive used it 357 times. Or perhaps 358 times. The last time I used it. Stop it fear!-It really is no use. Did anything happen? Shes emotionally unstable right now. I dont think anything did.Prez sorry INNothing much happened. Im justHow do I say this? A little confused to be honest. I saw something strange. The cube that Fear was holding-

Prez, Im sorry. Can you forget what you saw?-What-Ill explain everything after we settle this. So please-Fine You seem to have your own reasons. Be careful though. Thank you Prez. The proof of my existence. The blood tainting the floor. The blood mixing with water. The blood contaminating the river. And the person washing away the blood. The person clearing away the blood so that more can be spilled. But I loved him. He was the only one who sympathized with me. I can still remember,I remember that scream. A scream that belonged to someone I loved. It was a scream I forced from him. So this is my first time at the ocean. Why does it feel so familiar, though? But as the ending to my first timeits not bad at all. Think, think, come on think. What kind of girl is she? What would she be thinking? Think.Could she WellIt is a lot more unplesant than what I saw on TV. Its pitch black. This endless darkness is just like the place I came from. But why. All this regret.FEAR!- Why should I regret anything? I tried to kill him. Theres no way he would come after me. Im cursed. Thats right, Im cursed! Its chilly, its cold, its dark. ve but returned to the place I belong. Yet I feel far lonelier than Ive ever felt before. Looks like I forgot someone important. Someone heavy and stupid. Someone that wouldnt consider the best place to plunge into the sea. Its time for a swim! Its warm. Youre awake? Wha-What are you -Yknow. DO you really weigh this much? Youre heavy as hell. You called me heavy Thats the second time.-When was the first time? Oh, it was when you came to my place. What a rude thing to say to a lady.-Ill cur-What a coincidence, Im angry as well. Ill curse you-Wh-What?! Ill say it again, Ill curse you. My curse is terrible, so if you dont want it, then dont speak. The moment you tell me to let you down, or let you go, something terrible will happen to you. Like what? Your breasts will stop growing. What?! Besides, your curse wont work on me. Its pointless. Its pointless, so I dont care if you threaten me. I wont listen to your selfish requests. I especially wont let you run away from home. Youd better prepare yourself, because Ill drag you back no matter how many times you try.-Cocky words from a perverted kid. Well, sorry. Whats wrong?-Listen to what Im about to say. Now? Yes. I should tell you now before my determination falters. Im afraid of screams. Haruaki. Im actually afraid of screams from the people I care about. If you get hurt and scream like that again. I may become my true self. Nows your chance to be rid of me. Why would you say that? Because I dont know. Do I have the right to be here? Do I have the right to undo my curse and be rid of my sins?-I dont remember saying that you need permission. Just stay here if you want to. Whats important is whether you want to stay here or not. How terrefying, a cruse most people receive at least once a year.
An understanding of who she meant by that word came easily to him. Haruaki looked back at Fear and saw that she had her head bowed, with her face pale. Peavey spoke again. "The Marquis de Sade wrote in one of his works; 'Their ground of argument about the justification of the pleasure earned by cruelty came from the following reasoning: We all desire for something that could move our hearts. That is exactly the reason why men are absorbed in seeking pleasure, and we desire to have that pleasure in the most active manner'. Though I am a woman, I am moved, deeply so, by those words! By the cruelty that shall take place here and now!" Words suddenly switched into action. She fluttered her dress and made a dash toward Fear. "! Haruaki, run!" "Haruaki-kun!" Fear pushed Haruaki away, which caused him to stagger. Konoha moved to snatch him away from Peavey. "That prudence is worthy of a praise! A pig like you shouldn't involve anyone in this!" Peavey made a decadent smile while she licked the drop of sweat that rolled off from her temple.

"Strange. Why are you just running...? It isn't like you to hold back, [Fear-in-Cube]. From what I've heard, you're not supposed to be that way." Fear looked-up in surprise and spoke with a forced voice. "S-Stop....Don't say it" Peavey raised a brow. After a moment, the dawn of understanding caused her shoulders to shake in laughter. "This is amusing, indeed it is! Could it be that the boy over there do not know the details about you? Let me tell you the rest of the answers for your question a while ago then!" She opened a part of her gauntlet which seemed like a clasp. She drew out a cigarette and started to smoke. Together with the accumulated smoke came out a voice filled with ridicule and teasing. "You asked 'What she did in the past'. The answer is simple. She slaughtered people. That thing shamed them, forced an end to their life, craved for grievances, drank their blood, and just killed them! Tens, hundreds, thousands of them! Sinners, non-sinners, men, women, children, the aged, commoners, nobles, slaves, scientists, farmers, merchants, priests, mid-wives, and even the knights! "No.....no...no...no...." "You killed them all equally like a God, without any discrimination, didn't you? Shamed a wife and driven her into insanity in front of her husband? Ripped the womb of a pregnant woman and took out her child, ending its life along with its howl? Gave food to the starving vagrant, ripped his stomach open and enjoyed the scream of agony he made while you slowly killed him?" "Stop it.....stopitstopitstopitstopit! I-I was, I, ahhhhhhhhhh!" Fear's whole body was shaking. She embraced herself with a pale face. "Y-you're wrong....wrong. I, didn't, do it, with my will. I, was just used. I didn't do it because I wanted to...!" "How could you be so low! You're trying to reason your way out even though you're just a thing. But, it's a fact that you killed them, is it not? After all, that was the reason why you were cursed. Oh, how you disgust me. To tell you the truth, just talking with you like this makes me want to vomit!" "Shut up, shut up....just...shut...up!" "Like hell I will! Think about it once more. About what you really are. Wait, I was mistaken. I should be the one to tell you what you really are, shouldn't I? After all, there's still the answer left for your question, 'What she was in the past'. Don't say it. Whispered Fear. Haruaki thought the same. But, that didn't stop the word from coming out of her mouth. "[Fear-in-Cube]. It was developed during the period when the pagans were being hunted down. She that thingis just an multipurpose torture-execution instrument." "Stoooooooooooop!!" "I can't help but to burst out laughing at that wonderful scream. C'mon now, you've committed sins. You sinned by executing countless innocent people with torture. That curse which made you personify is the vindication of your sins. You have to take the punishment as you should, don't you? You have to be silent and accept the fact that a thing like you should be destroyed when you became unnecessary."

Haruaki clenched his fists. He just can't accept those words. He wanted to say something. He wanted to ask her if she knew the strong determination needed to accept the fact that they're not just a tool anymore and live with the curse that was branded to them. To accept their unfortunate fate that they have to feel the pain of what they did in the past. "If you have no intention of resisting, that is also fine with me. Just the thought of destroying another hateful Wathe is a pleasure in itself!" Peavey raised her arms. There was too much distance for Haruaki to move in between them. But, that moment, he heard a faint whisper of rustling dress behind him. "Stay here, Haruaki-kun." The brown-haired girl jumped in with inhuman power. Beside Haruaki stood a girl. A girl who like him, felt a surge of anger against Peavey. Maybe, her anger was greater than his.

She jumped over the few meters of distance between them with ease. She made an attack from above which was almost at a right angle, her uniform fluttering. The woman in a dress quickly turned over and evaded the tegatana that was meant for herwhile Konoha landed between Fear and the woman in a dress, her eyes blazing. Peavey made a quick look down at her slashed skirt and made an exaggerated gesture of spreading her arms wide. "Oh my, oh my! Why is it that no one told me there was another disgusting garbage here? I never noticed. Although it's not part of the mission, I could destroy you if you are going to interrupt me from accomplishing my first priority. What do you say?" "Don't misunderstand my intention. I have nothing to do with the infant behind me. Please take my action this wayI got irritated with what you've said so I attacked you. After all, I'm one of the illtempered youth these days." Those words were spoken gently. It almost sounded like a joke. But, her eyes were still overbearing. "If you don't want to get hurt, I advise you to leave now." "....Hmph. I like you, girl. You look cool-headed and unyieldingbut, that's what makes me want to put you to shame. What did they call this wonderful expression of oppositions? Was it tsundere?" "I wouldn't know!" Konoha had sunk-in against the nearby fence. Seeing this, Fear let out a shout against her. "Y-You too...this has nothing to do with you. What do you think you're doing...!" "You're right. Didn't you hear what I said a while ago? What I'm doing doesn't concern you so just let me be." Konoha tried to loose herself from the fence. While she was at it, she spoke to Fear without glancing at her. "By the way, it's something that doesn't have anything to do with me. What are you planning to do? You're cursed. That's a fact. You've been through a past that caused you to be cursed. This too is a fact. Your life's being threatened because of it. Another fact. What are you going to do to face those facts?" "....I wouldn't be troubled right now if I knew the answer to that..." "You're saying that you're giving up and you're going to let her destroy you?"

"...I wouldn't like that..." "Then, you have to fight. You have to fight in order to protect yourself. That's the natural way things go. But....I say, knowing how you feel sure is a pain." "What...and how do you know anything. About how I feel." Konoha whispered. her eyes were directed at her front. "I understand how you don't want to hurt anyone. I understand that you do not want to fight. I know that the harder you try to forget, the more it comes back to haunt you. That causes you to hesitate, even if your life was in the line... Really, I feel as though I'm looking at my old self, I can't really describe how I feel right now." Konoha stood up, took a deep breath and rushed towards Peavey. She got thrown away again but this time, she did not crash against the fence. It was because another person that appeared in front of Fear caught Konoha's back.

"Have you gone mad...? Get away from here! Hurry and run!" "Er, I don't think I'll be much of a help but I suppose I could lend you my hand." Haruaki turned away from astounded Fear and faced Peavey. "Look here boy, what you're trying to do is a foolish act. Although I could not actively kill a person, I might not be able to help you if ever there was an unfortunate accident. And, if it comes to you trying to help out those bitchy tools.... Well, won't you change your mind?" "Sorry, I can't do that. This girl came to our place, relying on me. I just can't say no and drive her away, can I? Besides, Japanese people are a merciful lot.... Oh, and one more thing. I got irritated by the same reason this girl wearing glasses got irritated with you. So, right now I want to make you take back all the things you've said. I'm not fond of fights, though." "That's funny. Would you mind telling me how you're going to do it?" That was the problem. He looked down at Konoha, who stared right back at Haruaki. "You...fool...this is my problem and..." Haruaki twisted his lips as he heard those words. "She's mumbling awful things at me. Is trying to protect her such a bad thing?" "Though I'm not at complete disagreement...I think you're being your usual self." "I'm not sure what you mean. Hey, I hate to ask you this since you hate to do it, but it seems that we're at odds with our current situation." Instead of answering, Konoha just smiled and took a step. When her eyes met with Peavey, the smile was already gone from her face. The only thing left on her expression was an earnest determination. "If you're not satisfied with half-cooked attacks, I'll turn back into myself. For a reason, I'm trying to avoid shedding blood but I won't be responsible if it would hit you bad. I just wanted you to understand that." "I see, so that's how you're going to play your game. It's fine with me. Oh, I forgot to ask your name, miss garbage. I'm going to need it in my report later."

Haruaki placed his hands on Konoha's shoulder. In a moment the clothes Konoha was wearing fell off the floor and The only thing left on his hand was a long inorganic-substance. Its blade was covered with a black sheath. It was abnormally thin and hard. It was as though the blade was coated with a thin black metal...and, it was sharp enough to be called a sheath-blade. Words were spoken by the cursed Katana. "My name is Muramasa Konoha... But, I hate to be called by my surname." Even though his body was being moved by Konoha, that didn't mean that he wasn't feeling exhaustion. His breathing was becoming shorter. Konoha took note of his condition, and jumped backwards as she saw the enemy's fist sinking into the rooftop floor to put a distance from her. "Are you alright, Haruaki-kun?" "Yeah, I can still....w-whoa!" One careless moment and a concrete-floor fragment was flying toward his head. The katana smashed the fragment down. Haruki thought with a shiver that he'd be already dead if Konoha wasn't moving his body. "However, we might lose if this keeps up." "I have an idea. If we're going to lose at this rate, why don't you try that one? The one you used once before...the [ -Kousahou-]. Though, I suppose you'll hate to do that more than you hate being back to this form." "Oh, okay....I'll try. I think there won't be a problem, I'll just have to be careful." "It's not the time for you two to be having a cozy talk. You boy, helping out those garbages! You're an eyesore so I'll be really glad if you'll just die right now!" The awkward, but symmetrically aligned balancing-toy joyfully started her bloodlust. Konoha parried the blows as she did earlier. But, she started to take a new action. She changed the mark of her actions within herself. It was not an attack and it wasn't a defense either. She started an analysis.

"Eye for an eye....as the wise men say. Pretty clichd though." Haruaki wondered what was the red liquid passing through the blade. He also wondered where it came from. He traced back where the liquid was coming from. Then, he knew where it was coming from...It came from his arm. The time that he realized the blood was coming from him, his brain finally registered the pain The howl that came from Haruaki resounded through the rooftop. That cry caused two things to awake within Fear....and it was fear and nostalgia.

She felt that something was pulsating within her. It was something that should not awaken, at any cost. The cry of pain was nostalgic. She was disgusted with herself for reminiscing those cries. But, those vague memories which resembled a faint dream caused a definite change within her. (that scream) (which I thought I'd never hear again) (It was the same scream from that moment )

There was a master of an ancient castle. In there was an underground chamber which was a realm of madness. There was herself, sleeping in that chamber. She was still inanimate back then, but her master was pleased with her. Therefore after her master was done with his [enjoyment] every night, he made his footman clean her up. The footman was the only sane person left within that castle. Even though he vomited every time he cleaned her up, in the end she'd be shining like a brand-new appliance. And for that, she used to like the footman very much. The footman often talked to her while he cleaned her up, complaining about the work which he hated to do but was forced to out of need for money. "I don't know what got into my master's head...I'm sure that this box would be happier if it was just left alone. Oh God..." One day, one of the maids heard the footman and the gossip about the footman's words spread within the castle in no time. Naturally, the master of the castle who heard about the footman executed him in the torture chamber. Consequently, She was used to torture the footman. The scream was caused by her own hands. It was a scream coming from someone she knew, from someone she liked. "Aaaaah. Aaaaaah. Aha.......haha, ahahahahahahaha" It pulsated. The her of THAT time pulsated. She remembered. During that time, she was still inanimate. The reason for an inanimate object's existence was to be used. That was why she was happy. While she heard the footman's scream, she felt that certainty within her. Because the footman's scream certified the reason of her existence. It made her long for more screams "AhaYou're wrongahahashut up. Stop laughingahahahashut up, stop laughing, I said stop! I'm different now ahahaha different! I'm not thinking of those things aha haahahahahahahahahahaha!" Fear tried to stop the laugh that flowing from her mouth, punching the concrete flooring below her with a distorted expression. But, the laughing did not stop. When she held her head, the laugh resounded through her head, instead of ceasing. She heard Haruaki's repeated screams. When she raised her face, she saw that Haruaki had dropped to the floor. The blade he was holding lied heavily down, and she knew that it won't be moving for some time. Someone whispered in Fear's head that he would be killed. But, she refused to become what she used to be because she did not want Haruaki to see what she really was. It was too disgusting, and too soiled....But, if she didn't do something, Haruaki will surely die. Fear asked herself what she should do That moment, Fear noticed the Rubik's cube that fell out from her pocket. She stared at the katana held by Haruaki once again. And, she remembered that Konoha fought even though she was in human form. "A tool which was cursed enough to achieve the human form could still use some of the characteristics as a tool, even when it was in it's human form...." It was the same for her. She had not tried it yet, but she knew she could. Therefore she needed to. "I... have to do it....." She tried to convince herself. It shouldn't be that bad. She still hated what she used to be. She was just going to use a little power, while maintaining her human form. It didn't mean that she was going to betray her decision on trying to lift the curse away from herself Fear did not realize that it was a compromise. She didn't know that compromises always broke determination. Then, all the things she was trying to push back came out inside her, just like a dam. There was nothing to hold back anymore. She only had to do what was needed. That moment, a

comfortable sense of freedom shrouded Fear. There was nothing left inside her but the urge to break everything apart. "Ah yes, that's what I'm going to do....." Peavey saw that Fear moved to stand up. She let out a scornful laugh at her. "Hmm, I see that you decided to stop crying now. So, what are you going to do now?" "You're asking me what I'm going to do? Of course" "I'm gonna hear you scream. And I'm very excited. Ahahahaha", Fear said with cruel and cold eyes, tightly clutching the cube in her hand. The hand holding the toy was thrust out. Konoha was able to change into a blade that could be wielded by hand, but everyone had different characteristics. Fear's characteristics were much more complicated compared to Konoha. Hence, in order to utilize it "Emulation start." In the short time it took to say those words, the Rubik's cube transformed. Rather, one should say that its very nature changed. It was her original form, the black iron cube large enough for one to wrap their arms around . Ignoring the laws of physics, the palm of her hand was firmly attracted to the iron cube. In order for her characteristics to manifest, Fear needed this kind of object. In order to become 'her other self', she needed something resembling this cube. "Generating umbilical path, connected. Semi-remote control, materialized and equipped." As if expressing its weight, the cube gave off a dull thud as it landed on the roof. Fear's palm continued to face downwards. A strange chain extended from her palm and connected to the cube at her feet. Rather than interlocking rings, the individual chain links were black cubes connected to one another by opposite vertices. Wrapping the chain from the cube around her arm, Fear gently gazed at her other self and spoke softly. "Mechanism No.26 piercing type, imprisoning form: Iron MaidenCurse Calling." In that instant, the cube transformed. Minute crevices slid horizontally. The upper portion rose like a curtain. The sound of metal parts sliding against one another, expressing the movement of the parts. Horizontal movement. Vertical movement. Rotated. Raised. Sunk. Combined. Separated. Buried. Bent. Switched. Extended. Supported. Leaned. Essential parts moving outwards. Unused portions retracted. Pieces required for decoration moved to the outside. And parts required for internal structure hidden within. Thousands of parts which can assemble into thirty-two different forms. The cube was merely the outer shell of a standby state. As it is operated, it took on the form of a torture tool In terms of actual time, only an instant has passed as the sound of metal friction subsided. The cube was no longer a cube, but resembled a coffin the length of a normal human. Originally hidden and packed in the intricate curves of the cube's interior, but now assembled into the shape of a head and shoulders. What was portrayed was the image of an untainted girl. The Iron Maiden. "Go, the other me that takes my form. To hear more of those screams!"

As Fear rattled the chain wrapped around her arm, the Iron Maiden began to glide. Peavey jumped away from Haruaki's side, but the iron maiden changed direction and pursued her with Fear's manipulation of the chain. As if offering its purity the Iron Maiden exposed its interior as commanded, releasing its locks. The front of the Iron Maiden opened up as if offering sweet embrace to entice the victim to enter its spike-laden inner space. However instead of fleeing, Peavey advanced and used her remaining armored hand to strike the Iron Maiden using pure strength alone. Metal clashed against metal, creating a high pitched screeching, and the Iron Maiden bounced away. "...Mechanism No.8 crushing type, circular form: Breaking Wheel of Francia Curse Calling!" Reacting to the command, the Iron Maiden transformed without returning to the cube state. In an instant, it had become a round wheel, with numerous short and thick spikes on the edges. Fear deftly stepped forward as she motioned with her right hand. The wheel connected to the chain attacked Peavey. In the same way Peavey had crushed the limbs of uncountable victims, both guilty and innocent, the wheel was poised to wreck her life. As the turning wheel descended upon her head, Peavey blocked. The falling wheel bounced off the roof, damaging it, but flew towards Peavey's body once again.

Ha...haha, you finally show some fighting spirit? This is great!" Fear did not respond. It seemed like the smile on her face was a bit empty. Seeing the wheel about to be caught by Peavey's armored arm, she swiftly pulled the chain back and rushed forward at the same time. "...Mechanism No.19 gouging type, spiral form: Human-PerforatorCurse Calling!" Curling the chain back, in Fear's hand was now a dangerous looking drill! The length of a knight's lance, and ominous like a grim reaper's scythe, its edges sparkled luxuriously with the glint of sharpness. What it sought was soft flesh, soft flesh, soft flesh. "HohoThat's right, I was waiting for this! A tool made only for hurting others, I wonder what kind of screams it makes when it gets hurt itself! Ah, how I look forward to it!" The armored arm clashed with Fear's drill two or three times, then Peavey feigned an opening to lead the drill towards her face and evaded at the last second. The spiral blade narrowly missed her face. Taking such risk to obtain an ephemeral opening, Peavey charged into close range. The drill retracted but could not attack again as quickly as the speed of Peavey's strong arm. "Okay, begin to scream with pleasure, inferior object of the lowest class!" However, Peavey did not make contact. What she saw was the drill penetrating the roof they are standing on, and Fear using it as a jumping platform. But as a result, there were no more escapes. One cannot dodge in mid air. As Peavey delightfully prepared her fist for a counterattackFear laughed and laughed against a backdrop of the dark, cloud-covered sky. "Regarding ways to make songs out of screams, I am more experienced than you by centuries. Scream!" Peavey suddenly noticed the drill in front of her giving off a strange noise. "...Mechanism No.3 severance type, descending form: "

Peavey instinctively retreated but because she had advanced too deep it was too late. The drill transformed into a quadrilateral frame. Peavey withdrew her body, moved her head and retracted her right arm. But "GuillotineCurse Calling!" It was too late for the naked left arm laid bare due to Konoha's destruction of the armor Peavey's left arm was severed cleanly by the descending thick blade. And then, the screams desired by a certain someone were uttered by her own mouth. Supporting herself like a three-legged beast, Peavey raised her head. Her blonde hair obscured her eyes and virtually all of her facial expression. Nevertheless, Haruaki could still see her bloodless lips moving. Rather than screaming angrily She smiled. "How dare you... How dare you rape and humiliate me?" A chilling voice. It sounded very calm. Too calm. The tone of mockery she bore up to this point was no longer present in her laughter. Simply... Pure laughter. Precisely due to that, it felt even more terrifying. She had abandoned something decisivelythat was what Haruaki felt. This was this woman's limit. Suddenly, even the smile disappeared from Peavey's face leaving her completely expressionless. She started moving once more, withdrawing her hand from the floor, blood spewing as she stood up.

Hoping for the rainwater to wash away the bloodstains, Haruaki sighed. Howeverhe heard an unbelievable voice at this moment. "...Mechanism No.8 breaking type, circular figure: 'Francs' Breaking Wheel'Curse Calling!" He instinctively shuddered and held Muramasa forward before him without thought. Thanks to his natural reflexes, the sword blocked the attack successfully. It had blocked the attack Fear made against Haruaki. The wheel and the sword resisted each other. Fear appeared before Haruaki with empty eyes, holding the edge of the torture tool. Giggles escaped her mouth as her gentle exhalation reached Haruaki's lips. "Screams... I want to hear screams. I... was created for this purpose. I... that..." "Come back to your senses! It's finished, the enemy has escaped! Fear!" What astounding strength. Pushing the wheel hard, she gradually drew near. Haruaki desperately resisted. This caused sharp pain to flare up from his arm injury, making him lose strength. I'm going to be crushed! Just as he trembled from the thought "...You! What on earth are you doing?" A terrifying roar came from the sword as it robbed Haruaki's arms of his control. At the same time as deflecting the wheel, Konoha's black scabbard struck Fear and sent her flying.

Lying on the concrete, completely drenched by rainwater, Fear remained motionless for a quite a while. After a few seconds passed, the chain of cubes extending from her hand vanished while the torture tool connected the chain returned to its original form as a Rubik's cube. "Aha... Ahahaha..." Her laughter sounded slightly convulsive, but Haruaki knew. Fear had returned. Slowly, she got up. Quietly restraining herself, her drenched hair sticking to her cheeks as she stood in the same spot with a blank expression. Suddenly she raised her arm: "...Rain? This is also a first. Really... So it turns out to be this cold. Haha, with this, my bodyas well as my face, isn't everything all wet now...?" As always, she seemed to be trying to hide something and muddle through. But she could not possibly muddle through this time. Haruaki was just about to lecture her in vexation when she spoke out first: "...Do you understand now? I wanted to know my true nature, so this is it." Her back turned to Haruaki, her voice sounded rather delicate and sad. "Haruaki. How will you treat me now? That woman is completely correct. I've murdered hundreds, and I was created for the purpose of killing in this manner. Because of that, these hands and this self is cursed. Repeatedly cursed. But ironically, I finally obtained human consciousness as a result of endless curses, only to realize the concept of guilt." "...A common thing." "A common thing? Ha, really? I am self-aware. Speaking of guilt, I feel like I am the worst and most abysmal tool. Ah yes, right, Haruaki, I was really relieved to learn about your constitution. Immunity to the curses of cursed toolsthat had been my greatest fear before coming here. I did mention, right? My curse is simply 'a common thing'... It causes the owner to go mad, compelled to use me without any self-restraint. No matter how virtuous or noble, as long as I come into their possession, they all become like my first owner... Like that murderous maniac of a castle lord. Using me to seek pleasure, interrogating and torturing others... An existence of this sort, what else could you call it other than irredeemably sinful?" "HenceI said there's no problem! This doesn't matter, right? Because it doesn't affect me! Since this is a matter of constitution, it won't change in the future, so you can rest assured!" Haruaki tried to sound as cheerful as possible, but Fear shook her head in disagreement. "No. Recalling the past, recalling that I am still meI have realized the most fundamental problem. I strove to pursue hopes and dreams, but never did I think about how stupid it was. I tried to forgot, to pretend things never happened. But clearly it's impossible!" "Fear, calm down! What are you talking about?" In response to this question, more questions were raised in quick succession: "I am guilty. Guilty of murdering too many people. Which is why I am cursed with guilt. So what about punishment? What should the punishment be?" Everyone was silent for a moment. Only the pitter-patter of rain could be heard, singing a noisy song. Fear quietly turned her head, orienting her dripping wet face towards Haruaki asking in a trembling voice:

"Hey... For me, is finding absolution possible? The curse this body suffers from... Will I be able to forget it?" Haruaki was silent. Because there was no need to answer, he had no obligation to answer, he did not want to answer, and furthermore, it was a question with no answer. He knew it was underhanded of him to do this, but he still offered a smile as an answer. "Let's go home, it's too cold here." The underhanded plea did not reach her heart. Because she was too clever. Looking rather happy, but also very lonelyFear also returned a smile. "This answer is so gentle... So very gentle, but it's the worst." Once again, she turned around and stepped forward, murmuring extremely quietly as if to herself: "I was very happy. The rice-crackers were very tasty. By the way, this school, this home, all treated me so kindly... But in the end, I don't belong here." "Wait... Fear! Wait a minute, you!" Haruaki reached out towards the hand that could not be reached, but even then she did not look back. "...What happened just now has steeled my determination. By now, I almost added another unforgivable crime to my repertoire. Rather that having things this wayit's better for me to sleep alone the way I was until recently. So I must go. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you." The drenched silver hair jumped up high. Fear went over the railing, disappearing into the rain.

"This is my first experience of rain. Yet all I can think about are memories from the past. Someone like me, where should I go... Haha, right, of course there is only that place. Ending things at the place I saw for the first time... Would not be bad. Not bad..." "Ha... Ha... Aha... Ahahaha... How I wish to defy fate! But I did try to kill that guy! I almost added another to my crimes! He couldn't possibly have come after me! Haha... Even if he really chased behind me, the gods could not possibly allow him to arrive here! Because I amcursed! Ahahahahahahaha!" Then her laughter stopped suddenly. She was truly pathetic, hence she resolved herself. She was cursed. Hence, it was not allowed. As she murmured softly, she leaned her weight backwards, slowly reclining her body.

"You couldn't have possibly thought... You could get away with things just by offering me an explanation tomorrow, right?" "Class Rep..." Extending herself from the wave breaker was Kirika, who looked both angry and relieved. Sweat and rainwater slid down her faceshe was holding an umbrella with one hand, and her clothes were not particularly drenched, so it was probably sweat. This meant she must have run all the way here.

"What you mean isIf we were to refuse you, you will target the lives of Haruaki-kun and me? Not simply because our protecting Fear leaves you no choice... But as part of your purpose, even if we do not stand before Fear, you will attack us?" "...You are free to interpret as you wish." "Ah, yes. That's right. I'm going to catch a cold unless I take a warm bath as soon as possible. As for Class Rep" "Naturally, I will have to take advantage of your hospitality. The questions keep piling up." Looks like things were getting more troublesomeHaruaki slumped his shoulders dejectedly and placed the card into his pocket. "Ah, sorry about that. By the way, since it's so late now, what about your family?" "I live alone, so there's no problem. So don't even try to drive me away with that reason." "T-That's not what I meant..." "Just kidding." "How terrifying, truly, this is a curse that everyone suffers at least once a year!" Indeed, Fear's body that was embracing him tightly felt rather cold. But precisely because of thatHaruaki thought. If he could feel his warmth escaping so quickly, then definitely Fear must surely be feeling quite warm now.

Screams. A sorrowful scream. A pitiful scream. Scream of ones birth. All these screams are so nostalgic. The tool that I am. The tools that I was used for. Being used, held. The me that is needed. The screams areareare.. What proves my existance. Shut itits too loudshut up.. Dont yell. Shut up! Shut it. Yoru scream will do fine. Your scream. This is the 19th mechanish, screw gouging type, man perforater. The number if peole Ive killed with this is 357. Or perpahs this brings it up to 358. I know this would be result (not being able to) Chuparapra bandage is alive, On top of that, it sucks blood alongwith the pain. In order to close a fatal wound, there needs to be the same amount of force from it. Thats the curse of this bandage. Ogujirari will be called from the prodigious knights to support us so that we can fufuil our mission. And , I concur its a wise decision. If you lose your life, Itll mean that I am incompetent. Take off that hood and show me-Its its a necessity. Er, did anything happen? Right now shes a little unstable. Its probably nothing. Im sorry uh, Not its not an issue. However, how should I say this, Im confused , to be honest. I saw something weird. Fear hadwas holding a cube.-President, I, sorry. But could you please forget about that for now? What was that?-Once this calms down, Ill definitely explain it to you. Therefore.-It cantt be helped. Im sure you have your reasons. However, be careful. Thank you pre. The proof that I am me. The blood that flows across the floor. Blood that flows like water. Blood that stains the wall. And those that fight against it. But I liked him. Only his words. Because he called out to me with sympathetic words. I now remember. I remember that exact scream. Its from soneone I liked. Someone I loved. Its also one that I force out of him. My first experience of the sea? Despite that, why am I now remembering the past? However, its the first end. That doesnt sound bad. THink, THink me! The kind of person she is. What she would be thinking? Think. Perhps. Whats this. This is even eerier than what I saw on TV. Also, its pitch black. And endlessly dark. Isnt it the place I was once at? In spite of that(looks at the cube) Why am I feeling so regretfuk?-Fear- Really, what am I thinking? I tried to kill

him He wouldnt come for me. A cursed being like myself. Thats right. Im cursed. Its cold. Cold. Dark. I just returned to where I belong. However, I feel even lonlier than ever.-She forgot something so important (the cube, fell down after she dived ), SheSs havey, and shes an idiot. Didnt have to think twice about where to jump. Well then, Ill be going for a little swim! Its warm. Oh youre awake? Wha What are you-Stll, how shoud I put it? Did you get a withdrawl from unrequited love or something? Youre extremely heavy. You said Im heavy right, This is the second time! The first was she, ahs when you first came. What a rude way to treat a lady! Ill c-. How coincidentical, Imm also mad. Il curse you-Wh0What?! Let me say it again, Ill curse you. My curse is extremely strong. So, if you dont want to be cursed, dont speak The moment you say, Let me down, or Leave me alone, something bad will happen. And what wold happen? Your breasts wont be able to grow. What?! In any case, your curses wont work on me. Its useless. Because it wont work. Ill put up with your selfishness. No matter how many times, Ill come and get you. Prepare yourself. Youre so concited for a shamless man. Well, my apologies. Whats wting-This is fine. Stay like this and lsiten.Listen? Thats right. I have to say this now or else my resolve would shake. Haruaki. Im afraid of screams Im afrai of hearing the screams of someone close to me. Just like today, somebody hurt you and you screamed because of that. I might become me again. If you want to throw me out, do it now. WHy do you say something like that? Because I dont know. If I have the right to be here. Do I have the right to be forgiven of my sins? -You know, I never said anything about rights. If you ant to be here, then do so. Thats whats important. Its whether or not you want to be here or not. Youre mocking me because you,re not cursed, arent you? I know of a curse that will directly effect you! How about it? Isnt it cold? Take that! With this, Ill give you the curse known as a cold. How scary. Thats a curse that comes around once a year. And if I dont-I wont let you work for me, and I wont forgive you if you try to assit me. Arent you suprised-Its untihinkable, but I have no choice but to believe you. I saw it with my own liesand I dont rhink you;d lie to me. What we call common sense is actually quite narrow in breadht. Common sense is quite obviousso what we dont know lies outside its boundaries. Ill be vary frank with you then-Do you really think I need a reason other than i dont like you to break a rappy toy box like you? Something among /along those lines. So youve been my enemy the entire time- Your point? If youre my enemy, then there;s only one thing to doOh I like the pose you are taking-Ive never stopped a drill with my bare hands before. What are you thinking now-Hah what else-Im wondering what youre scream will sound like. Yes, of course, you kill, violate, and devour withou hesitation, you torture and execution device. Its to late for that-Oh, its haruaki kin, Just kidding, what-The whole thing was just a joke. Last night, you seemed hurt and lost. Like a broken child /(Its a very simple request really, , I just need you toDie) And yet you attacked that girl with everything in you. You had no intention of letting her live. I wasnt trying to-If you didnt mean to do it and were just acting subcounciously, then thats another problem in itself. Youre still haunted by your past self. Theres not eeling when youll repeat your cycle of indignity, torture and murder.-Thats-Theres no telling when you might atack Haruaki. Heres a word of advice-You should not be fighting.-Wno, we cannot let you fight. Youre too dangerous. AraMaybe I went toofar. B..But if I stop fighting, Id just be something youd have to protect (so shes going after them) No, Id be less than tht. All Id do is make things ore dangerous. For you- Screw that!-Did I ever say that you were troublesome or unplesant? I thought you wanted to be here. Of..course I do. But-I just can;t0Why would you think that? Go awayIts best to just dispose of and abandon me! Yet whyI can change at any time. Arent you scared of me?-Good grief0Would I be able to do this if I were scared(take the sword away)-L-Let go dummy.-If you want me to let go, then stop being dumb. Dummmy.-I already told you. You can stay here if you want to. You dont need to feel like youre a burden. Fine..i GET IT, so let go!-Really?-Really. Oh my, how intimate (licking his thumb) Are you ready for your stinkin body juices to be splattered

everywhere? First off I hope you dont believe in God. Allow me to quote some words of the marquis.-The dismemberement of that shit box wont be canceled.-Youre hurt and you dont have that werid armour of yours. Give up and go away if you value your life!-If I wore it Then I wouldnt have been able to bring this! All right Dance time, Make me dance! Make me dane until this bloody ball ends with the screams of their deaths! Why, Is it love for a doll, The lust for domination, like loving a machine?-Its guilt. We humans are the ones who cursed them! Its our fault they ended up like this, We selfeshly forced our cursed upon them Its no surprise that theyd hate humans, yet they depended on us to get here! -I want to help them in every way I can!-In other words, Im just doing ti because I want to. Got a problem with it!-Why, Why must I be the only one to hang my head? Miss cow tits fights for me. Haruaki gets hurt.-Yet, I, the casue of all this, am just-I cant accept this. Theres no way I can accept this-Im just doing this because I want to! -Thats right. Right of wrong, hesitating just isnt my style.-Ill do it because I want to.-Thats all.-You all forgot something important. m very selfish. Your promised me, didnt you-I didnt promised you anything-You assumed I did. I know its selfish to ask butif I start to act weirddestroy me at that very moment. That makes no sense-I wont sy it more than once. At the tepths of this village I lieved in you of my own free will That bad trait of your personality and the hidden cold headeness Y H, I will trust you of my own free will. You are a hopeless, normal and kind person. And you certainly thought about my happiness. In other words-it is my own wish that I get destoryed when I go crazy. Id be happy if you do that for my sake- There is no way wed wisht hat! Who would have thought she Is that stupid? SeriouslyI know Im stupid. But the me at this moment is not being used as a tool. Thats why I want to take my own responsibility.That does sound like a selfish line.Then, I will do something selfish as well. I will ignore your announcment. What. And I will sefishly believe that you will try your best to not lose yourself.-You dont need to believe that. It would be nice of if you just came out. Is there any fool in the world who would just come out when asked? She must be losing it. Its fine if you dont come out though. I dont know what might happen to this girl in your place though. I cant stand it since its time to dance and I want to dance, too. Now, Ill count to ten. If by the time Im done and ou havent kidnly shown yourselves yet. I think shell suffer some burns on her face, or even worse. If you dont Ill use this-And if I do, I can make you vanish without much trouble. That anger of yours is trange as well (you just said you took her as a hostage, thats why) Youre not human right. Im doing it because I want to, thats all. Youre trying to act like a human by being with others. Do you think that by doing so, your sins will be forgiven? How can you fofget that past thats engulfed with sheer chaos. Ill cuse you, you who is already cursedby so many! And Ill curse x3 and keep cursing you!-Curse me if you want to. I have no intention of fogetting my crimes. A curse is like a retribution for crimes. Or is it a penalty for commiting those crimes? To curse me, who is already cursed. That even I cant understand.-But, I just dont want to hear screams any longer.-Maybe I am, but I want to stay here.-Not as fear in cube, but as a person, Im taking a decision of my own for the first time. I will stay here, if you want to curse me, then curse me!-You damn runt dont have the right to talk like a human so please roll over and die! I wont forgive you if you dare say youre no suffering cause youre already cursed. Die.-Pathethci,s tand up and fight-I am okay with being pathetic! I dont need to fight My duty is to avoid losing control. And to endure it. To bear it. I will not lose control no matter what!Haruaki, and you cow udderhear me out! All right, I will trust you. Ayanu, t to watch his bloodsheed, Might curse me again. Yeilding this power will just make me distant from others. Well then, Konoha, forget your attempts in avoiding the truth. Please tell me about yesterday, Who are youe xactlyLet me say this frist. I am not your enemy. I am sorry to have hidden such things from you, but I didnt have any intention of harming you. However the situation changed somewhat after I meet fear the other day You were already aware of my identity after that-I planned to make a move after the

mummy maker came o offer a deal. I used my resources to find their base and left that weapon there( the card that offered a surreder deal) I thought, if the plan went well. We could confuse the oositions codes of action. (1 got killed) Maybe I overdid it. I thought abot it after I ranw away You werent afraid at that time. (her appearing as an enemy) And I turned the same eyes to you as those of fear and knoha. If you were going to protect Yachi with everything you had, then My love is just an ugly thing under this situation. My objective.Isnt it natural that the class presidend should save her fellow classmates? What the hellehlets see-I dont know whether oyu will believe me or not, but There is nothing more to it. I wanted to be of some assistance. I wanted to help you from the shadows. You ddint need to hide-It would have been easy for me if I was able tod o that. I belong to a certain organization to begin with. I am agaist it because thats my desire. But there are a lot of problems with it. You mean-Dont mistake us for them. Yachii, my bigest wish is that you would forget everything from tomorrow. I never wanted you to know the truth about me. I dont mind fogetting if the president wants me so, but le me ask just one thing. What is that organization of yours? Why do you have to be in it if you dont like it?-Yoy saw what I used thats the research facility of the nigthcrawlers, and thats their foolish ideologies for remodeling a country. All right, I will change my request slightly-I ask you to search for the missing doll. So I was running for some desreted places-Its obvious you just thought of that now. Do you think you can escape?-Same to you, why do you think I cannot escape, kindred?...and here of al places (doll queen in a doll shop) I have some change on me-Its okay, its something to get along with each other. Human I would like to ask you one thing the cursedo you think that its something that everyone wants to remove? All right. Then from now on you are forbidden grom getting carried away.you are acting on your own now, so If you are thinking of yourself as good for nothing, that doesnt make a good excuse for oyu to give up. Listen to me remember to rely on people a bit more. That will make people happy and in sort ofit will meaning youre doing things for their sake. If someone feels happy that you depended on them, that means you did something for their sake. That is why, I am asking you to help. Did I ofended you somehow, -The problem is you havent said anything bad. Got it, thats enough. You understand the sense of showing off something I said you should act as if it didnt exist. I now am not froman organization.-Well, I wonder who are you then? I act persoanlly as Uneo Kirika. I know that all foolish things can be taken lightly, but Could that be,Dear Dear, You are bothered by something, right? I thought it might be the case that is why Im frustrated because you ignored me when yooure in such a situation. Sorry, that was unavoidable, But are you all right? If you/re going to act like to not know of my secret and changed your attitue towards me, then I rather not be that way and continue on as it wa sbefore. ( And then how about you guysat any rate youI know..I know that, I want to ask if there is something I can help you with. Apart fron nursing not much. If you are saying that, then it feels almost like its so stupid for me to ask. No wait..I have this tudy towards my classmates Damn you yachi) Uncountable blades are placed in this body When the love between us is reaching the critical point, the mechanish starts. Embrace only one. That will be the weapon to murder you in the end. And that will be the end of your love. I cant use the weapon by my own will And I cant stop it neither. So forget about me, if you do so you wont die. If so, why did you speak to me? Because you looked lonely. Then its all right, follow me, My room is over here. Did you listen to what I said? Its gonna be alright-How (touch the face) Can dollsmake mutual love? Shell definetly come. So you are here, Doll. Like I said on the phone (Shell come because I said so.) Things became a bit annoying, so , I will end it by destroying you. That person is just a bait for that purpose.That wasnt our promise! We cant slay people for no reason-Yachi, I know your feelings, but there is no other way but doing so. Seems like you are already breaking. I can already see the hidden arms of yours. What a weak body! Arent you going to kill her by hugging her? I understandyes, I do. She is beautiful. I want to kill her as well. Im fear in cube. I can make much

better of an ecstasy entertainment from tormenting people that you will never ahieve in your whole life. So , let me teach you, Doll!-The conclusion of this is, I am going to kill you shortly, I will be enjoying doing so. And Ill kill Shiraho too after Im done with you because I wont be needing her anymore. This night is going to be fun. I will enjoy ruining her face and muddying it with dirt, then making her cry and asking for forgivness and at last killing her. I wont let you kill her-Give up Next is Ss turn. I wont let you, I pass this down to the fearful followers to the fallen army of mine Obey me Kuruseyo!-Soft, too soft Do you think you can do anything by using such techinques against me?The master of true rituals. Daughter of Ekustart, Stop struggling, since I am going to split you apart, Until your body becomes shreds. Please dont kill S, please I beg you. I beg you dont kill him.-Please, Ill do wahtever you ask. Whatever you ask..so please Please stop it..Dont kill him.-You can kill me instead! SO dont kill Sovereignty.-Now then, whats wrong? Sovereignty perfection doll. You dont like it, yoy dont want it, I bet you are, arent you? Then call forth all of your curse here and now! Bring out all the blades that is in your body. If you like her, if you lover her then if that is curse, then show me all of it. Is that all? Is that really all of it?-You make the finishing touch-You do know what you must do now, right? )(cut the blades) I wanted to hug you-It may be a curse but this is certainly how I feel about you. Thats why, I wanted to hug you. At the present, you are the most hated person to me. Pervert! HMM,to be scolded by a beautiful girl, it is a pleasure to some people who have a special fetishes, you know. Im just joking. I just did what my mother told me. I believe he went to see one of your plays. He just went once, at the very first of my plays. My father, that person did not have any interest in me. No. It seems that he persuaded your mother in making you stop acting. He saw your real wishes. He was just a bit awkward. That will suffice, if you remember only that. How does that sound, if I say it is all about your hope? You want to have such emotions.. or you dont wanna have them? So I named myself with that fact in the mind-Is that something you should say yourself? At the main event youll have to wear a dressOh, sorry, I seriously forgot about that. Well, I am sorry for that.So you forgot about it, huh? THats absurd! Now lets go, I cant have oyu idling, lie this in front of me!-Hurry up yachi-Yes, and why are you uptight suddenlt?-Thanks Yachi.-Ah, did you say somethind inchou-san? No, nothing at all. That button wont close-Konoha, No matter how you slice it, thats tooWhats with that diffrence in raction of yours (A maid doesnt brag abut it) Do you have something els to do-We have a date-Be in my way and Ill kill you, human. H-Have a good time then. Honestly, You know no fear, dont you? (not wearing panties in a small dress). I rememberedIts gonna be a bother if you misunderstand so, Ill clarify one thing The culprit is me. I am the culprit (said after all the events transpired) I saidI am the criminal. Why, dont get innocent people involved in this-It is a bit hard to say that now, That woman wont be the only one to die. Please think about this carefully. Yes, you really need to think carefully. There is a common feature among the people who died yesterday and those who will die this time around. I would like you to realize that. Please work hard. Wll then.---I rememberedIts gonna be a bother if you misunderstand so, Ill clarify one thing The culprit is me. Even though she is trening me, she keeps making weird commands and puzzling me now and then shes having funw atching me suffer. Ah, I know that. I sort of like this warm and cuddly feeling when someone has control over you.-I never had those kind of intentions.See just keep on moving. I think you should not enter any further than that. Its dangerous. Just give up quietly-I did warn you. Im glad youre alright-Thats my line. Im alright-Even if you say that-I can see that you arent. The murderer could aim for anyone, a sports festival with so many people might be bad, so they were saying Is.Is that so? I think there might be some sort of relationship, between the circumstances you are faced If you are moving in order to prevent them, I should let you go. ButI wonder why. I had

done such a petty thing. Petty? I get happy when I am with you like this, If I let you go, the chance of spendin time with you will disappear. Even I dont know What am I doing! I should be able to understand what Im doing myself. Thats whyIm like a tool. Even though I am the president and affiliated with the laboratory emirate Yeah. I think, I am a sick person. Ah, thisthat!? My girlfriends nude body isonly my business,or something like that? Is what the principal said-Ah, I got speely explaining all this. You mustve had your reasons if you stopped me, and tried to hide it, didnt you? Tell me if you have something going on. I think of oyu ..as an alley. I can at least hear what you have to say.-I cant compete with you. An , ally, you say. I think that is nice. Butthat is exactly why, I cant hide it any longer. I am being threahted by a certain person.-I bore it all and kept walking but, it seems it was impossible after all. Look at me, When Im doing things that shouldnt be done. Its for my own solitary amusement. But, haha, I feel refreshed now. With this I am not afraid of anything. Im sorry, Yachi. For showing oyu such things. You really are kind. Well since you dont want to hurt anyone else. SO you are bearing all this. Huh..Truly, Yeah. This is absurd. I am a fool for thinking so differently. How to put it, sometimes you are very kind. Eh. No way! So, I have a favour to ask you. (gets closer leaning on the wall to face her image.) A favour..0Would you give me Kurokawa Karen (curse serpent hurting her) You know, since the curse wont activate on me. Ah! I refuse. Even if you say, that you will teach me your cooking secrets, I wont do it, This is my power. If I let it go away, I will become an immortal who is of no use. I dont like that. I am your ally, arent I? I wantto help you when needed. I got it. Keep sleeping. Well then, see you later.So, see you later, eh? This truly is absurdness. Is she Harus gilrfriend? This is my first time meeting you, but I can feel what kind of person you are by that speech of yours. Oh my, I have been fiind out, I shouldnt be spying, right? Now before I take my leave, I want to ask you something. Sorry, you missed one more thing. You must know what I mean. Seems like I have no choice. Lets meet again when I make my next move. Thats odd, Why did she break the glass while declaring war. Doesnt her sudden retreat mean This might be my imagination, but, Doesnt it feel like we have been divided quite nicely by her?-Oh my, you are quite perceptive. Well it doesnt bother me though.-I call upon thee to this mortal world.-Oh my oh my-I think you shouldve move so careressly. What do you plan do do with us-To put it simply, youre hostages. You dont need to worry about Kuroe, I only stopped her ability to move. She has freedom over her eyes and power os speech-Oh myif you make any awkward movements, deep dark red juice will pe pouring out of his neck. I understand, do as you please. Ah, that reminds me, I can give you another hint, all of the dead guests were waring a cross though. Was that a little bit hard for you? When you finally made up your mind, please come0Well be waiting. Can you still use your hair-If I could I wouldve gotten myself out from this mess. What a guy you are, actually flipping the fixing my skit Wait a second, I fixed your skirt, but I never flipped it!-Youre both blusshing. You sure arecalm arent you? DO you think so? I think Im just normal. To think its normal itself is weird. Were being confined.-Thats because Haru is easy going. His minds age is the level of a temples doddering chief preist.-Well, we cant do anything to get out, even if we wanted to. Thats why all we can do is wait.But if I were alone, Im sure Id be panicking. Since Kuroe and the very calm Inchou san is here, Im fortunate, thats all.-I see. The same goes for me. Im fine since youre here. But the person to really help is me.-How did, tou You asked me how, but I came through the door normally. This cursed item can hide ones existence. Its named after the man who first wore it and dyed it with blood Bastiet Caret. Yes, this mask not only has the ability to mask its users persence but also its users actions. And so the reaction to hearing peoples conversations are 100 points. Mother of Conan Carrow, the woman that is known as the first descendant. The first master, its the president hat is the founder of the Families. If the woman that is the source of all dangerous weapons it wouldnt be strang if anything happens. H However, for oyu to have shown that, its was

a bad call, Kirika. You saw it, right? Dont tell me you were excited? Thatll be something dangerous in the future. Dont mess with meAll because of you..inchou-san had to endure it till she dropped.Then let me ask you, why are you being confined right now? Let go of Yachi! That kid annoys me!-Im happy that you came to help. But I wont forgive you for messing with Yachi. It wont change the situation even if you punched of kick me. Shut up, hurry up and take care of Yahci-Kirika, what are oyu talking about? What? We have no reason to help them. Conceling just one person is my limit with this mask, after all.-Well, thats the situation. Dont think bad of me. Please save him and as a token I will let you thouch me as you like. Kids arent my hobby. Take careTake care of inchou-san.-Youre too kind. You dont knw whether youlllive till tomorrow, after all. If we lave Yachi with that woman we dont know what will happen-True. But that doesnt matter to me.-Those events involing them is none of my concersn. Suvraillance is my job. If I cant save the person I likebecause of those kind of circumstances (her ogranization) I dont know for what reaosn Im truly here for. Thats somethinghopelessly ridiculous. Im sorry, but this is the wors punishment I can give (cheek stretch) The rest Kuroe san can take care of. Whatever happened before isnt important. The problem is what to do from now on. I know that. Ill use everything I can use. Everything there is to make to up. Ill take back what should be taken back. Fear, Konoha. If yachi had strenght, wht do you think it would be? Haruaki=s power Evne if you say that, hes just a human. And what can his curse even be..his perversion? And thered also be his kidness, good heartdness, and his cooking. Its that he has allies. Just like me and just like you two. Oh my, good morning-If I win, Ill have you return Hauraki. And inr eturn, if I lose, you can just take me. Fear-sama, I am making a wish. That this will become more and more cursed and become something beyound that of a human Yes. Something like you.-Is there anyone that woud want a curse? There is no one in this world, who would want to wish for a curse The carnival Cleaver. Lets replay the chopping events. This powerful weapon can remember the attacks its blocked in the past. Therfore, it remembers is opponents weakpoints when I strike. And can reproduce them. I just tried a bit and worked hard (ripped the skin to get away from cuffs) Just a bit you say? You are foolish, but it fits you. Oh my, this is a problem. You cant win anymore-Next up is what you call a group fight. Well, I dont mind at all. Youre bluffing-There are people who can turn bluffs into reality. This Mirror is a belived cursed item that is very powerful. I has 3 functions. The first is to make the user beautiful. The second is welcome the user ot the other side. It stops moement, like what I used on Kuroe. And the ghird, lets it come forth into reality. Hello to another world. Yes, it can duplicate whatever is reflected in the mirror. Apart from the fact that the image reflections ot materialized into solid state, all other points.. and features are the same. After 10 minutes the reflection will disappear. But since its a reflection it cant recover from an attack. I wonder, if this is called a doppelganger. What are you doing-Come now, watch for a few sceonds. This curse sometimes does this sort of thing. It is the duty of th Families ot pay attention to the demands of the curse. But it doesnt They are some sick people. But, it doesnt change just because one becmae two- Or does it? No one said that only one can be made. Hello myself, Its only for 10 minutes, but I will be in your care.-Now, lets start the team battle. In the and all of you will disappear if I smash the mirro-They might be false, but they are the real deal. Oh my, it feels nice when youre splattered by warm blood, right? Look, you can see it pouring out, cant you? Blood, II..I didn mean to-Please be more emotional. Hasnt it been a while? S-Stop it! No need to hold back. Yes, go ahead and have more fun! Now, do it more savagely! More.-Sorry to make it so brutal. But it is a complete replica, so I cant help it. They disappear in 10 minutes, bu the corpse will last until then.-You dontneed to hold it in-You were always like that. If you like, I can prepare a real opponent for you right now. Is child your preference? A woman, An evil person? Or someone you know?-fear, dont listen to what shes saying, calm down! Oh my, Ive staretd to take interest in you. This is a ccursed item, as well, isnt it? Its fantastic, Im realy enoying

it. Oh my, Im sorry for this-Youre the only one that I dont have any interest in. Could you please not interfere?-Dont joke..around.-This is a face Lets finish this already.-I only have one thing tot ell you. You are foolish. If you can read the future, then cry beforehand.-Defiled object,-Even if you cant read it, please cry aobut it.-You fool. Now, if the fools die,s they will disappear. Undeerstand the meaning of that word in this place. You, you you. I till probablt start from this hand if its going to start at all. And then it will probablt be over.-Cant you hurry up. Im quite embarassed you know. Commanding the vastness, everything is my weapon (Housh up, you sohould bully anyone eve,r the maid of justice is here) Listen to me, come forth! Fear are you alright-Of coruse, how dare oyu, How dare oyu do that-FEAR, do your best, take out all thebad guys! But why-I thought they were on our side. -We were indebted to you. We merely returned the favour, thats all.-Were going home.-Already? That really helped, Shirahi Soveregnity-Thank you! Dont mention it, I wanted to forget. You made me remember what I wanted to forget. It doesnt mean that refusing he curse is to refuse myself or the past. It means to deny myself at this place.-Ill beat you down and destroy it What kind of damage has your faithed caused you?-I dont needt o be safe. H said I can become human. That is all. Oh my, I dont get any of this.- No, I understand it perfectly though.-Curse Irond Maided Mariao-Why do you deny our deviotion so much? I want to stay with the humans, I want to become human.-Humans are pathetic, they are foolish! They are useless and powerless.-Yeah, they are pathethic and foolish. They have no value whatsoever, Butthey laughed, when they were happy. I want to become like that. I want to be with them and be happy.-So whats wrong about thinking like that? Thats why the people who can do what I cant do, to me they are transcedental! WhatBecause, at that time no human saved me! The thing that saved meThats why! Saying that humans are being faar superior than ourselves! God, what sor of punishment is this? Why didnt you save me? I seethis is a hurdle that muse be overcome. Dont move. Ah, its about time. Yes, thats right-They are more like a family than my allies. I see, thats the first issue at hand. Cursed item after cursed item. You, are from theYou know me? Isee, its best if we fall back now. If you want to keep your life, dont ever appear before me again. I wonder when inchous san learned it. Its what I should say, to be expected of her or like it was obvoius. Are you alright with this, I suspected you-But it passed away now, so Its because its hot dontlook at me like that Now, lets continue-There you have Sparta-minded inchou-san. Yes, I want to know, Cow udder has her curse almost completely lifted. Kuroes curse has already gone away. But theyre the same when it comes to having powers. Are they humans who were tools,or tools that became human? Which is it?Lets see. I dont think you need an answer to that. Konoha and Kuroe are the same as you. Theyre the same whether or not, theyve had their curses lifeted. In other words, a simple tool shouldnt think about whether its human or a tool. I see, you;er right. Hows it goint wih the tent? Oh, its like a piece of Picaso. Yeah. Thats what I was going for. Huh, why am I holding K-This is the ninja technique of scapegoating (place another one in front of the splash) We should finish our job-Yes, lets just think of it like an evening walk. Look kuroe, thatis the this the arch enemy of our humble breast Allliance. Its presence is truly overwhelming. Would you mind blowing some embers her way by accident? Maybe theyll pop and shirvel up.Do you think these are rubber balloons or something? Duh, let the air out already! Its getting me hot though-Its like a weird fethish or something. But theres no denying that aomething happened. I also felt a strange pertense. Yeah, maybe its just our imagination. I suppose our course of actios is to stay on our toes. Yeah, we cant just sit back untul something happens.She couldnt use anything as a scapegoat when it came down to the klutz doing something klutzy. Why do you make it sound like a bad thing? Using that we can deduce thatI have a bad feeling about thisMy bodys kinda refusing to think about the subject any further. Oh. I dony really understand, but I guess youre scared.m huh? This shrine is too new to be cursed. We heard a scream yet there was no victim. Not to mention the texture of the

string I cut. Theres more too. The trap hole had a mattress at the bottom, and the logs were paded on the inside. Completely stupid. Well then-If you want our forgivness, youll have to tell us what you were planning on doing. All right time to speal the beans, Guess what-I orchestrated the entire thing! I had everyone do this. Summer school only comes around once a year.Thats why I had to add a bit of excitment so youd enjoy it more. Oh thats right, I had also hoped that fear-kun would overcome her fears. Whad do you think-Did I surprise you? Has your friendship grown? Have you overcome your weaknesses?No need to thank me. One more tthing (second players) this dvd player is quite cheap so go ahead and bust it open if youd like/ He thinks well thank him, more like a punishment is in order. But fear, I was actually happy. You were scared of the spider monster, yet you had the courage to come save me. Thank you.
