The demon said, and then watched her leave.

Saki Koizumi kept walking forward, tireless, and in this space, time seemed to stand still.

She received countless roses. Members of the Silver Court, whether they had met her before or not, were waiting for her by the roadside and each presented her with a pure white rose.

Gradually, she could no longer hold so many roses in her arms.

But no matter which member of the Silver Garden sees her, they must say to her, "Please don't let go."

Saki Koizumi remembered those words and struggled to hold all the flowers.

The roses obscured my view, so I could only instinctively continue along the path.

Then, the color of the rose gradually changed at some point.

First, it was stained with a tiny bit of red, so light that it was unnoticeable. By the time Koizumi Saki noticed, her eyes were already completely red.

The vibrant red roses filled her entire field of vision.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose from nowhere. Koizumi Saki heard the rustling of plants around her, and the sensation under her feet felt like she was stepping on something.

She finally couldn't hold on any longer; the wind seemed to have blown away all her strength, her arms went limp, and all the roses fell to the ground.

Then, it turned into countless petals, which were swept up by the gale.

Saki Koizumi instinctively raised her arm to shield her eyes, the gust of wind carrying fine sand and petals, creating a thunderous sound in her ears.

She heard a distant, regretful sigh behind her.

"In the end, you let go."

The voice was unfamiliar, and Saki Koizumi couldn't identify who it was.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a sea of ​​bright red flowers.

The familiar or unfamiliar members of the Silver Court stood at a distance, watching her.

Amidst the sea of ​​flowers, Saki Koizumi finally reached the end of the path.

There, lay her A-Yuan.

The crimson flowers almost buried A Yuan, their petals kissing A Yuan's right eye and half of his body, and his chest was also submerged in flowers.

The other person lay there, their expression serene and peaceful, as if they were simply asleep.

Saki Koizumi stepped forward and instinctively reached out to pick up a petal from Kita Kirihara's face.

The blood-red petals suddenly melted in her hand, and the change in texture startled Saki Koizumi.

She shifted her gaze upwards again, but only saw—

—A sea of ​​blood.

What should have been a beautiful and peaceful scene suddenly changed its style as Saki Koizumi came to her senses.

The bright red petals turned into blood that was still warm, flowing stickily and wetly down the surface.

The areas hidden by the petals also revealed the bloody wounds.

The mangled corpse of Kita Kirihara stung Koizumi Saki's gaze.

..

The sound coming from his chest was like that of a broken bellows.

Kita Kirihara was breathing with difficulty; suffocation and excessive blood loss had made her delirious.

Only one pupil remained unfocused, its reflection showing Koizumi Saki, who had suddenly frozen in place.

Her vision was blurred, and her body was covered in blood from the struggle.

His left hand was broken again, half of his body had lost sensation, and the necrosis of his left eye was beyond repair. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even shed tears.

She could hear herself gasping for breath, her body mangled beyond recognition, as if she were about to die at any moment.

In the eyes of the viewers watching the live stream, Kita Kirihara had already used every possible means to save his life.

First, he attempted to use Nana Ōba's twin swords, "Wheel" and "Dance," but they were mercilessly shattered by Kamina.

Even with Homura Akemi's time-stopping ability, it was impossible to stop Saki Koizumi's time.

Even when trying to escape using Rikuo Nura's "Fear," one cannot escape the eyes of the god.

Kita Kirihara could only utilize less than 50% of the various abilities he borrowed from the Silver Garden members, and they were useless against the already irrational Koizumi Saki.

Her left palm was pierced again, her forearm was broken into a bizarre arc, her beautiful left eye was burned by heat vision, half of her body was soaked in blood, and her chest cavity was even caved in.

It's more accurate to say that it's a miracle that Kita Kirihara is still alive.

She was still gazing at Saki Koizumi, her eyes dimmed as if she were already dead.

Kita Kirihara was already in ruins, but Koizumi Saki, the perpetrator, remained spotless.

This was the scene that Koizumi Saki faced when she struggled to regain her senses.

Blood flowed at her feet, and A Yuan lay there in front of her, only the faint rise and fall of his chest proving that he was still alive.

But watching as I was about to die in the next second.

Saki Koizumi raised her hand with trembling hands.

In my own hands, I saw a sea of ​​bright red.

"Ugh..." Kneeling on the ground, Saki Koizumi let out such a mournful cry.

"Ughh ...

She was hysterical.

217. You should be satisfied now, right?

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit]

This kind of domestic violence is unacceptable!

【this……】

“…Saki…”

A faint sound came from Kita Kirihara.

Under immense psychological stress, Saki Koizumi temporarily regained her senses.

She collapsed and trembled, almost frantically trying to rush to Kita Kirihara's side, only to realize that his injuries were far too severe.

Powerless.

She sobbed, looking utterly pathetic.

“Ah-Yuan… Ah-Yuan, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Koizumi Saki’s words were incoherent, her heart filled with fear. Her mind was in chaos. She could feel Kita Kirihara’s life being extinguished as quickly as a candle flame, and the faint warmth that remained in her hand.

It cannot be preserved; it will completely dissipate with just a gust of wind.

What on earth did she do...?

Saki Koizumi couldn't stop crying. She finally managed to find Kita Kirihara's still relatively intact right hand, and hugged it tightly to her chest, trying to draw warmth from it to calm herself down.

Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, her voice slurred and indistinct: "Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, please don't sleep... just hold on a little longer... Oh, right, call emergency services right now..."

However, Kita Kirihara did not respond to her words.

She kept her right eye half-open, her gaze fading, and said softly, "Saki..."

“I’m here, I…” Koizumi Saki sobbed.

However, the next half-sentence almost made her heart sink to the bottom, leaving her feeling icy cold.

"……Where are you?"

The dying man could no longer hear her voice, but only asked questions.

Saki Koizumi froze, her tears falling even more profusely. Her lips trembled as she realized a certain impending possibility, and her blood seemed to freeze.

I'm here... I'm right here...

"Saki?" The weak voice struggled to rise, seemingly frightened because it couldn't hear Koizumi Saki's voice. "You're gone...?"

"...No, don't leave me."

"I don't want to leave like this... I don't want to go, Saki..."

"I was wrong... Saki, Saki... please don't leave me... I was wrong..."

"I'm so lonely... I can't hear anything... Where are you, Saki?"

Kita Kirihara sobbed. She could see nothing, hear Koizumi Saki's voice, and feel no one holding her hand.

Her vision went completely black, and she lost all perception of the outside world.

Because of the fear of being abandoned, even after receiving the answer from Saki Koizumi herself, knowing that she was no longer needed by Saki Koizumi, she still begged the other party to stay for even a short while as she was about to die.

I feel so lonely.

She didn't want to die like this; she wanted to stay by Saki's side and live on...

But no.

Saki herself has already denied the meaning of her existence in this world, and she no longer has any reason to remain in this world.

[In that case, give my body back to me.]

In the last second before his consciousness faded, from Kita Kirihara's pitch-black perspective, the viewers in the live chat heard these words.

That was Kita Kirihara's own voice, but it carried a light, airy laugh, a stark contrast to his still embarrassed, sobbing voice.

【????Wait a moment】

[The underage Ahara is about to be sent, but there is another personality in this body, which means...]

Kita Kirihara remained silent.

Saki Koizumi was completely blank and dazed. Despite having witnessed many deaths, she still found it difficult to understand the current situation.

Rather, the brain refuses to understand the current situation.

My palms were ice cold; I couldn't tell if it was my own hands or A Yuan's hands that were cold.
