From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

"This... this won't work... this won't work... we need to try another method..."

Coco wiped her eyes and looked down along the chains that bound her.

The source of the ankle chain was stuck in the wall.

As if she could find some gap, Coco continued to pull the chain hard.

It was still just the elasticity that was stretched tight and making a slight rustling sound under the pulling of some body.

...still, I can’t open it.

I can't open it no matter what I do.

"Pfft."

The sound of a knife blade was heard again from behind.

Immaturity cannot pose any obstacle to that sharpness.

Looking back... the ground was scattered with pieces.

The slender legs of that body.

There is no more left.

"..."

Even so.

The blade showed no sign of stopping, but instead rose a little higher.

The flash was aimed at... Lily's only remaining wrist.

"Hands, too...?"

No...

Absolutely not!

Coco ran around the room, and the stickiness on her footsteps only felt like a hindrance.

There should have been something else.

There should be something else there.

But...still couldn't find anything.

Nothing... could be found.

Coco turned around hastily and saw the blade stuck in Lily's little wrist——

"Snapped."

...and it broke again.

The bright red splash from the fall was much higher than before.

The sound of raindrops formed a cruel symphony.

I don't want to think about what's happening in Lily's body right now.

Don't think about the missing limbs.

As long as... as long as I can block it once... block it once...

As long as it is preserved intact... then part of it...

Noticing the chain pulling at Lily's wrist.

He pulled the chain, trying to block Lily's arm. The blade he retracted was aimed at that part.

This is the only thing that can be used now.

Maybe... only this thing——

The blade is approaching.

"Wait a moment……"

At most, it can only extend to this extent...

It’s still far from the arm…

"no, do not want……"

Giving up on the chain that couldn't be pulled any further, Coco subconsciously reached out -

I don't even know why I reached out.

"Click——"

This time, even the sound of breaking bones was clearly audible.

...It is already a luxury to stop it.

"……don't want."

Let go slowly.

The shocking and bloody broken piece met Coco's eyes.

……

...Why did it turn out like this?

Did I do something wrong?

Did Lily do something wrong?

Or is this world...

It is just like that, it is unreasonable.

Yes. I knew that a long time ago.

The world itself is unreasonable enough.

This is how it is to be born and this is how it is to become a slave.

Even when I met Lily and Elle, it was the same.

"If it's the wrist..."

Correct.

The rules have been figured out.

The next step...still the wrist.

Because the only wrist left is left to be chopped off.

Whatever you want to do is fine.

At that distance just now, the chain couldn't block it.

But if it's the wrist... maybe it would work.

The blade was always aimed at the wrist that was exposed under the shackles, close to the hand.

Maybe if I use the original chain to block it...

Coco pulled the chain with her hand, blocking it in front of Lily's slender wrist.

If the knife can only hit that one blow... No, if it can only block that one blow -

The blade stood up.

The knife flashed.

"bass--"

"clang."

I didn't even have time to see it clearly.

"……Eh?"

puff.

Bright red sprayed on Coco's little face.

The little hand was still pulling at the chain blocking Lily's wrist, but it loosened involuntarily.

“…Pah.”

...Still, it's useless.

I don't know what kind of strength and skills were used.

There was not even any transmission of the vibration of the chain.

Maybe no matter how it is blocked...it can be circumvented.

"……Why."

Why? It's of no use at all.

"Why...still..."

I'm afraid I'm the only one who can understand the hoarseness and intermittentness of the voice.

I don't even want to think about what's left of Lily.

Just looking at the blade turning again——

242. Light in the Dark

"..."

unconsciously.

Lily's body.

There is only... that last one left.
