A villainous girl created by paranoia

A tremendous sound of bones grinding together...

Upon hearing such a loud noise, I couldn't help but look out the window, and then I saw a huge monster.

It was a huge white skeleton, about twenty meters tall, with pitch-black eye sockets in its massive head, but I just felt like it was looking at me.

I know what this is; it's my hallucination, it's my paranoia acting up again.

Sequence 166, ID 652, rating S, name White Skeleton Group.

The white skeletons looked just like the undead skeletons. If they were just skeletons, it wouldn't be a big deal, since the undead are quite common in this world, and you get used to seeing those little skeletal figures after a while.

But the entire white skeleton, including its head, was made up of countless human heads—a thousand? No, even ten thousand heads wouldn't seem enough.

Even though the eye sockets of those skulls were completely black, I could still feel it. I felt them staring at me. Being the center of attention like that made me very uncomfortable. Even big stars couldn't stand being stared at like that.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The white skeletons began to move. They walked towards me with steps that shook the ground. Soon they reached my window. One of their eye sockets was as big as the window. They lay on the window and stared at me with their eye sockets. I could even see countless skulls inside their eye sockets through the dim light.

"Even you're going to bully me...?"

With my lips pressed tightly together, I truly felt incredibly unlucky.

Boom!

The walls of the ward collapsed easily, and the arms of a group of white skeletons reached out from the crumbling walls and grabbed at me.

I didn't resist. I felt there was no point in resisting anyway. It was just my illusion. Where could I hide anyway?

The large hands of the white skeletons easily grabbed my body, and the moment I was grabbed by their hands, I felt a violent sense of dislocation. I felt like my internal organs were about to be dislocated.

Illusions are brutal, illusions are inhuman, and illusions always want to kill me.

Slowly, I was grabbed by the white skeletons and brought to its mouth. At that moment, I was still afraid. I knew it was an illusion, I knew it was fake, but I was still afraid and instinctively resisted.

I tried to struggle again, but it was too late, because most of the bones in my body had been crushed, and I was powerless to struggle. So, I could only helplessly watch the huge skull teeth biting at me.

I felt a squeezing sensation in my chest and back, and as the squeezing intensified, intense pain spread throughout my body.

Skin was crushed, flesh was crushed, bones were crushed, and internal organs were crushed as well.

My body was bitten in two starting from my chest, but because the teeth of the white skeletons weren't sharp enough, I could still feel some flesh still clinging to me.

The white skeletons seemed to realize that they hadn't completely torn my body apart, so they began to tear at my lower body. I could feel the flesh and blood that were still connected being stretched and pulled, and finally being torn off with a small 'snap'.

What kind of pain was that? I didn't want to think about it when I sat up in the hospital bed. I subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and then I froze.

Cold sweat? Could it be... hallucinations? Or is it just a repetition?

I glanced out the window and saw that the white skeletons were no longer behind me, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon I nervously looked around again, and then I saw a black longsword floating above my head.

Sequence 298, Number 346, Rating B, Head Hanging Sword.

I saw it. The sword hanging over my head dropped another point during this time. I knew that once the sword reached a certain point, it would pierce my head. I couldn't dodge it, I couldn't dodge it. The rule of the sword hanging over my head is that it will always hover above my head.

It is untouchable, so it cannot be blocked; the sword only materializes the moment it pierces my head.

I emptied my mind, not wanting to think about the pain I would experience next, and quietly counted the passing time.

puff...

The sword hanging over my head finally fell... Pain? How much pain could it possibly cause? Just so-so...

I'm really...afraid of pain!

Is the feeling of having your brain shattered really something that most people can endure?

When I opened my eyes again, I looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.

I'm so tired, so exhausted. This kind of life feels so tough.

If I can encounter all this in just three days, what will happen to me in the future? Will I end up even more miserable than I am now? And then there's my paranoia...

It really takes a lot of courage to live...

Living... is really painful...

Living... is so tiring...

I felt panicked about the future. I didn't want to think about how I should live my life anymore. My gaze couldn't help but fall on the fruit plate with three apples on it. There was a fruit knife in the plate, probably for peeling the apples.

If I die... I won't suffer anymore, and I won't encounter any scary things, right?

Thinking about it, my hand unconsciously reached for the fruit knife in the fruit bowl...

The fruit knife is very sharp; if I just slit my throat hard... it'll be over, right?

Thinking this, I slowly placed the fruit knife against my neck. The cold blade had already touched my skin. I took a deep breath, and just as I was about to cut hard, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.

dong dong dong...

The knocking wasn't urgent or forceful, so it was highly likely that it was a girl knocking.

I hesitated for a moment, but in the end I decided to put the fruit knife back where it was.

"Please come in."

As I finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open, and a girl with a brown bob haircut walked in from outside. I could see that her neck was still wrapped in white bandages. The person who came was someone I knew very well, my girlfriend from my memories, Inukai Tsubaki.

After glancing at my neck, Chun looked at the fruit knife in the fruit plate, and finally pulled up a stool and sat down next to me.

Something was off about her eyes; they were filled with worry, pain, and sorrow. But she didn't say anything; she just looked at me with those eyes.

I couldn't withstand the pressure from Chun, so I spoke first.

"Tsubaki, aren't you resting so late?"

"..."

Chun didn't speak, but continued to look at me with that same pressure-inducing gaze.

"Tsubaki, is your injury getting better?"

"Compared to Shuna's injuries... mine are nothing at all..."

While I was happy that Tsubaki replied, why did her answer sound so resentful? Was it just my imagination?

"Did those police officers give you any trouble?"

I was just making small talk, which was honestly quite awkward, but Chun still picked up on my topic normally.

"No..."

For a moment, I was at a loss for words again.

It's strange, very strange. I should have so much to say to Tsubaki, after all, Tsubaki is my lover.

Wait... when did I become lovers with Tsubaki? Speaking of which, why didn't I think of Tsubaki when I was thinking about ending my life?

If I committed suicide, Tsubaki would be very sad, right? But the truth is, I didn't think about Tsubaki at all.

Chun opened her mouth as if she had something important to say, but she interrupted herself.

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer..."

This seemed to be Chun talking to herself in a low voice. Just as I was about to ask what we were waiting for, Chun interrupted me.

"Shuna, I tried my best, please give me a reward."

A reward? I don't understand what Chun is saying about working hard, but giving her some kind of reward wouldn't hurt, right?

"Ah...that's possible, but what kind of reward does Tsubaki want?"

"I'll get the reward myself. Shu Nai just needs to stay in bed."

Although I had some doubts, I did as instructed. Then I saw Chun take off her shoes, then Chun climbed onto my hospital bed, and then Chun straddled my abdomen.

What...what is she going to do?

I vaguely guessed what was going on, and my cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Chun is very light. Even though she's straddling my stomach like this, I can hardly feel her weight. Chun usually seems very well-behaved to me, so this is the first time I've seen her so aggressive.

As Chun gradually bent down, I became more and more nervous. I could feel my body becoming very stiff, and my face was burning. Suddenly, I was looking forward to what was going to happen next.

Chun's face is really cute, just like a doll in the exhibition booth, exquisite and flawless.

As our faces drew closer until our noses could touch with the slightest movement, Chun stopped. After a moment of eye contact with me through her amber eyes, she spoke softly.

"I love you."

hum!

I felt my mind go completely blank for a moment. When I came to my senses, Tsubaki's lips were already on mine. Did I want to dodge? No, I didn't want to dodge, so I let Tsubaki kiss me.

It seemed that a simple kiss on the lips was not enough for Chun. She reached out and wrapped her arms around the back of my neck, and my hands, which had nowhere to go, instinctively wrapped around Chun's slender waist.

Immediately afterwards, Tsubaki launched an attack on me...

It's hard to imagine that Chun, who usually seems like a well-behaved girl, would be so aggressive at this moment. And I didn't expect my defense to be so weak. In just a dozen seconds, I couldn't take it anymore and had the urge to do something even more outrageous.

But speaking of which, did Tsubaki eat candy? I think Tsubaki's kiss was sweet, very sweet.

The kiss lasted a long time. I tried to push Tsubaki away several times, but I couldn't push her away.

I wanted to push her away not because I hated her; on the contrary, I quite liked the feeling. The reason I wanted to push her away was simply because I couldn't breathe.

I don't know how long the kiss lasted. When Chun parted my lips, I even saw a silver thread stretch between our lips.

After taking a few quick breaths, I felt my vision blurring and I couldn't quite make out Chun's expression, but the two rosy cheeks on her face were still very easy to spot.

Chun seemed to have stopped because she was having difficulty breathing. She took a few quick breaths and unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth with her little tongue.

Seeing Tsubaki's pink little tongue reminded me of how Tsubaki had just been so aggressively attacking and demanding...

I feel like I've been bullied by that obedient girl, Tsubaki? But I don't hate this bullying; on the contrary, I want Tsubaki to do it again.

As if hearing my thoughts, Chun, sitting high on my stomach, panted as she spoke.

"Shuna, huff... Tsubaki feels... huff... this reward isn't enough, so, Tsubaki, can I ask for an additional reward?"

Ugh... I was too embarrassed to say "do it again," so I could only nod and settle for second best.

Seeing me nod, Chun seemed to want to go again. This time I was much better prepared, but I was even more nervous than the first time. My legs stiffened and stretched out involuntarily, and my hands gripped the sheets restlessly. I closed my eyes, anticipating and waiting for Chun's second attack.

However, this time, Tsubaki is destined to disappoint me.
