Dakara, Anata o Koko de Koroshimasu

- - The essence of life is the 'soul', and the flesh is just the 'vessel' that forms it.

"Huh, no matter what you think, it's this conclusion."

An oriental girl with glasses on her black twin-tailed hair squeaks so in a desk buried with tons of materials and reports.

Manufacturing plans for man-made humans (homunculus) that were once secretly developed by the Ermerado military.

Familiar with alchemy, she is the chief of this plan. Beyond being entrusted with a critical role, he spared no time in his sleep to work on his daily research, but the results were not fragrant and the plan did not go forward in the medium term.

It is already working well until the manufacture of the flesh. But for some reason, Homunculus is all born with a mental anomaly.

Either way, it seems difficult not to listen to what it says, albeit a presence that serves as a weapon for the military. The girl was working on a study to see if there was any way she could solve this problem...

"Ha, I can't believe there's an obscure and unscientific element to 'soul' even though the structure of the brain is still unclear... I'll be honest with you."

Girl holding her head and sighing.

But you come up with some good ideas. Momentum up your face and start whining to yourself.

"Wait... If the flesh really has nothing to do with life. If you succeed in separating the flesh from the soul, or if you create a mechanism that prevents the flesh from decaying, you can become immortal...?

It's a story that seems too unrealistic, but for some reason it felt like a problem that wasn't that difficult for the girl.

And as if I remembered, the girl stood up in the air, taking a big cloth hung in the corner of the room.

There was a figure of homunculus immersed in liquid in the incubator.

Burning red hair.

The girl with closed eyelids but similarly red and black eyes like blood.

She was a homunculus who produced individually, apart from the government.

Do not manufacture homunculus for private personal gain.

Yes, she had been told by the government that she was contraindicated and secretly manufacturing homunculus.

Hands on the incubator, the girl with a lucid look - Sakura speaks to the girl who sleeps in the liquid.

"... hehe. I'm not waiting. You're just a few minutes from waking up."

Rico's not human.

I couldn't help but hide my agitation in the words of Hua Hua, whose neck was the only one who told me so.

"What are you talking about...? Rico's not human? That's not true!

"I wonder? Then why is the kid trembling?

"Huh...?

That is what he said to me, and I look back to Rico.

Indeed, she was trembling with her eyes open and smug.

"Ah... Selah..."

"Rico, what's wrong? That's a lie...?

"Oh, meng,... hey, come on..."

That's what Rico says with tears in his eyes.

Why should I apologize there? Why do you not deny the words of Hua Hua?

- No way, do you really even say Rico's not human?

Rico's unknown appearance when he came across Sakura. In addition, the appearance overlaps and Rico is getting more and more distrust.

"Rico, what do you mean -"

"Everything and nothing means the way it is, Serra."

The voice of a girl ringing from directly behind.

This voice and tone are definitely.

"!? Sakura!

"Uh, yes, yes, don't move."

The moment I tried to slash Sakura without looking back, my vision flipped around.

When I realized I was falling into the ground, unable to move my body.

Then Sakura relentlessly folds in the opposite direction wondering if she grabbed my arm.

Me, and the sound that sounds in me.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!??

"Selah!!" Mother, "stop!

"Rico, be quiet."

Sakura turns her gaze toward Rico.

Shortly after, Rico's body trembles and starts to suffer.

"Gi 'no... ahhh...!?

"Rico! Sakura, what are you doing to Rico?!?

Sakura kicks me up in the face to block the words.

Definitely, broken nose.

"Shut up. Shut the fuck up for a second."

Sakura says it cold, not the usual exquisite words and deeds.

He clearly looked frustrated.

"You're both keeping it alive for this Sakura 'plan'. I'm just making it a priority because you guys are best suited to carrying out the 'plan', and there's some kind of price instead. So when you're on track, I'm gonna kill you, okay?

"But you don't even have to kill Rico!

"Don't answer that."

Grab my hair and slap it straight to the ground.

Only for a moment in severe pain and shock, I felt my consciousness fly.

Grasp my head with both hands as it flashes, and force my neck to turn in the opposite direction to point toward Sakura.

I heard a noise that I shouldn't have sounded.

"hahahahahahahahaha!!?? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!??????"

"Do you still have pain? That halfway point is your problem."

I manage to move my mouth, even though my consciousness is about to be burned by severe pain.

"What, what, are you here...!?

"The collection and declaration of war of the rolling wars there, I guess✩."

Have you been settling down, Sakuraya holds the body of Jinghua as she steps.

"I just planted a bomb inside Rico."

"Bomb!?

Both me and Rico raise their voices of surprise at the same time to the words of shock told by Sakura.

Sakura gets in a good mood for the look of it and walks around me laughing and steps around.

"That. 'Bomb'. When it detonates, Rico's organs are destroyed and he dies instantly✩."

"Huh!? Take that out now!

"You can't do that."

Sakura crouches by my side and slowly strokes my lower abdomen.

And Sakura's fingers sink into me with the grudgingly unpleasant sound.

"Heh, ah!!!?????"

The organs were caressed directly, and I could not understand the translation.

Very unspeakable discomfort. the pain associated with it.

Still, for some reason, Sakura's words reach and understand her ears well.

"From here, further east, there is a city called 'Logen'. Is that where this Sakura Ajito is? A safe house? A secret base? I haven't been here in a week because there's a place like that."

"Oh, my God, no!!!??"

Before the word is over, I can stroke my organs again.

Sakura approaches me to her ear and whispers sweetly as she hits a hot exhale.

"You hate immortals. This is your chance to kill them, right?

――――

If what Sakura says is true.

If we go to 'Logen', we might be able to kill the immortals. But they should have been on Sakura's side. You can't possibly understand what a lunatic thinks, but it's too inconsistent to confuse me.

Especially though I can't possibly swing it on a stick like her chances.

"If you didn't come, Rico would be dead✩."

"Coward...!

So you don't have the right of veto?

With the utmost resistance, I stare at Sakura and throw away my grudges, but that also makes me laugh.

Again he holds my face, and returns my neck in its original direction, breaking my bones thoroughly.

"Well, that's why. I expect a lot from you guys.✩See you soon."

"Wait, hey!" Mother "!

That's what I say and look back. Rico screams at Sakara and tries to stop him.

When he heard that voice, Sakura looked back towards Rico, "Oh, yeah," he said.

"I'll tell you what, because the heart of Ji Hua is completely broken. I'll never remember you again."

"... Huh! Why, why did you do that!

"'Cause you ran away, didn't you?

And Sakura...

I said with a scornful grin at Rico to make a fool of him, stripping him of so much malice that he had no more.

"Ma, I put a big hole in my head so much that I could see my brain, and I played with both arms and leg amputations and stuff like that, I broke my head✩."

"- Sakuraya!!!!"

That moment.

I've never seen Rico get seriously angry.

Anger at the sadness of a loved one being broken and the attitude of not even making it worse and the hatred directed against her.

Together, those eyes even seemed to dwell on the intent to kill.

"Blinky Rico, I'm gonna make a fool out of you. (LAUGHS) Well, if it's time -"

"Wait! Don't be ridiculous, you guys, because of you, you! Oh, shit!!

A resounding Rico rage.

But neither me nor Rico could move their bodies because of Sakura's inexplicable power.

Shortly after the blink, Sakura and the others disappeared.

Finally, there my body can move.

"Hey......................... Hey, hey, hey!!

Rico's sad cry.

Having lost my 'grief' emotions, I cannot understand exactly how Rico feels right now.

Still, I wanted to ease her grief.

I embraced Rico with all my heart.

"Selah.................."

"Yeah, I'm fine. 'Cause it's okay."

I still hold Rico, who keeps crying and crying, and I keep stroking his head.

Eventually he got tired of crying, and Rico slept in my chest for some time.

- Speaking of which, this is how I slept when I first met you.

"Let's go back, Rico"

It's more dangerous to stay here than Sakura has made a full move.

Besides, if we don't get to her soon, Rico will die.

That's all we have to avoid.

"I get it. Sakura, I'm going to kill you, so be prepared."

Quietly let him recruit the will and determination, and I walked out with Rico in my arms.
