A villainous girl created by paranoia

I have to stop her. I don't want her to die, and I don't want to die myself.

If I don't stop her during Shuna's turn, then if there aren't any bullets left for this shot, I'll be even less likely to stop Shuna when it's my turn.

Therefore, we have no choice but to stop here.

"Shuna..."

Seemingly having heard my words, Shu Nai stopped pulling the trigger and asked with some confusion.

"What's wrong, Tsubaki?"

"Can... we stop?"

It will stop, right? Shu Nai won't refuse my request, after all, Shu Nai is very gentle.

"No, that won't work."

But Shuna refused. She shouldn't have refused, but why did she refuse?

I defied Shuna's ideas, I went against Shuna's wishes, and Shuna rejected my request.

At that moment, I felt as if a hole had been punched in my heart, leaving it empty, as if something was missing.

"A game should have a beginning and an end. How can it end before a winner is decided? But, Tsubaki suggested stopping at this time. Does that mean she's worried about me?"

Yes! I'm worried about you! So! Shuna, please stop!

I nodded, agreeing with what Shuna said.

"Then, how about Tsubaki takes the next shot for me?"

Seeing Shu Nai's radiant smile, I froze on the spot before nodding with difficulty.

"Have you thought it through? Even if Chun takes this bullet for me, the next one will still be yours. You should know that this gun can only hold six bullets."

I knew, so I nodded anyway.

The idea that I'd do anything except die is utter nonsense. At this moment, I realized that even if Shu Nai really wanted me to die, I would still die.

"uh-huh..."

Shuna let out an ambiguous chuckle, and then, catching me completely off guard, fired a shot into my head.

clatter...

The safety snapped back again, and this time the gun was still empty.

In an instant, I felt like my hair was about to explode. Shu Nai's shot was so sudden that I wasn't prepared at all.

"Heh, judging by your appearance, you probably can't even fire a shot at yourself, right? Do you need me to shoot you?"

I nodded. I really didn't dare to fire another shot into my temple, because this was the last shot, and it was time to unload the bullets from the chamber.

If souls could manifest, I would be trembling with fear right now.

Because I knew I was going to die, and Shuna wanted to kill me.

The cold muzzle of the gun was already pressed against my forehead, and at the same time, Shunai once again released the safety.

Does Shuna want to kill me?

Should I resist? Should I fight for my life?

I shouldn't resist; I can't survive.

Does Shuna want me to die?

If Shuna wants, then I'll just die.

I slowly closed my eyes, my body reaching its most relaxed state, ready to face death.

clatter...

First came the faint sound of a trigger being pulled...

Bang!

Then came the sound of a bullet leaving the barrel. I could feel a burning pain on my forehead where the gun barrel was pressed against it. The bullet, along with a cluster of red and white liquid, pierced my skull and flew out from the back of my head. My body collapsed onto the sofa like a powerless doll.

Consciousness gradually fades into darkness; this is a sign of death.

But... none of what I expected happened.

clatter...

The sound of the safety mechanism snapping back... the bullet didn't pierce my skull?

I looked at Xiu Nai, somewhat bewildered, while Xiu Nai just winked mischievously and then fired more than a dozen shots at me.

Tap...tap...tap...

All I could hear was the sound of the safety mechanism snapping back; there were no bullets in the gun.

"This...that...what...is...going..."

Shuna put away the revolver, turned it twice on the trigger guard with his index finger before opening the cylinder again, and then began loading bullets into the cylinder as he spoke.

"It's nothing serious, it's just a simple psychological suggestion."

After saying that, Shuna had already loaded the six bullets on the coffee table back into the cylinder of the revolver.

For a moment, I was speechless and didn't know what to say.

I was so nervous just now, I was terrified, I even resisted Shunai, but this pistol wasn't loaded with bullets.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you later, but not now."

As she spoke, Shu Nai stood up, then came behind me and hugged me from behind.

I was a little nervous when Shu-na hugged me from behind because I was sweating a lot from the spinning wheel game, and I was afraid Shu-na would dislike me for it.

But Shu-nai seemed completely oblivious to the sweat on my body; she gently blew a breath into my ear.

"Waaah..."

I made a rather embarrassing sound, and to avoid making that embarrassing sound next time Shuna blows air, I quickly covered my mouth with both hands.

But this time, instead of blowing air, Shuna spoke slowly.

"This is a test, my test of you."

“Do you know, Tsubaki, that you just lost your only chance to escape from me?”

“If you had chosen not to take the bullet for me, I would have erased your memory and let you go, but you chose to take the bullet for me.”

"You know what? This way I'll never let you go."

"You are mine, you will always be mine, even if I die, you must die with me."

"I will not allow you to disobey my words, I will not allow you to question me, I will not allow you to stop my actions, and I will not allow you to offer opinions on my thoughts."

"You are mine, you belong only to me. If anyone wants to enslave you and there is no way to escape, then commit suicide, because I don't want to kill you."

"Hey, Tsubaki, do you know what? I was just betrayed by my friend. She almost made me lose so much. I considered her my best friend, but she betrayed me so easily."

“Do you know what? I’m in pain, I’m angry, I’m in turmoil. How dare she betray me? I’ve made up my mind. I’ve decided to take revenge on her. I’ve decided to kill her, to kill my best friend.”

"But, humans are social animals. I only have one good friend, Mie Ichiyanagi. If I kill her, I will be all alone again. Even I am afraid of being alone."

"So, you are a substitute, a substitute for Mie Ichiyanagi, but I will not allow you to be replaced by anyone else."

"Remember, you can't betray me, absolutely not."

"I will hypnotize you every day, add new psychological suggestions to you, I will shape you into the shape I want, I will make you think about me all the time."

“Inukai Tsubaki, you can’t refuse, and you’re not allowed to refuse, because you’re mine, and you belong only to me.”

Xiu Nai hugged me very tightly, as if she wanted to meld me into her body. My shoulders were a little damp and cold; those must have been Xiu Nai's tears.

Why? I should have thought that what Shu-na said was incomprehensible, but I couldn't help feeling a surge of joy at Shu-na's words.

I even started to look forward to the day when Shuna would make me think of nothing but her.

However, just thinking about this makes me feel incredibly disgusted by my actions of stopping Shuna from continuing the game. I hate the part of myself that stopped Shuna, and I hate the part of myself that was unwilling to die for Shuna.

There's an emptiness inside... something needs to fill it...

……

……

……

Therefore, the emptiness in my heart was easily filled by Shuna's kiss.

Sitting on my own hospital bed, I gently stroked my still slightly moist lips with my index finger, and then I couldn't help but smile somewhat foolishly.

"Although my mind is already filled with Shuna right now, please continue to hypnotize me, continue to give me psychological suggestions, because I only want to be with you."

I still remember my father, mother, Yoko, and Takagi, all the people killed by Shuna.

Shunai did not tamper with any of my memories; I clearly remember how they died.

I know those people are important to me.

But Shuna...

Shouna...

Shouna...

Shouna...

As long as there is Shuna, that's enough; nothing else matters.

I am Shuna's, and Shuna... is also... mine.

--split line--

I didn't actually intend to write the bullet count when unloading the magazine, but I added it because I was afraid people wouldn't understand.

Although Tsubaki knew that Shuna had removed six bullets, she was still influenced by Shuna's suggestion and subconsciously thought that there was still one bullet in the magazine.

Night: So why did you drag me out and whip my corpse again?

Yoko: Speaking of which, if I kept Elena in a cage for half a year, and she could only see me and talk to me every day, wouldn't she fall in love with me after half a year?

Yoko: Tsk, what a great idea, why didn't I think of it back then?
