Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru - CHAPTER 1

“Ah, uaaahh — aaaahh!!”

That  man was crying out in despair in the desolate, scorched wasteland.

All around, as far as the eye could see, was a sea of ​​blood.

What must have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people painted the wilderness crimson red.

The man knelt on the red-stained ground in the middle of the pool of blood andCorpseCorpsewas holding her in his arms.

“Irene…! I’m sorry…! I couldn’t protect you…”

By the time the man arrived on this battlefield, killed dozens, maybe hundreds, of people, and reached the woman, it was too late.

“I swore to protect you! I must not lose you this time.”

That woman was beautiful. Herlong, jet black hair, reaching down to her waist, flowed onto the red  ground.

His jet black hair and translucent white skin contrasted with the vivid color of the blood that must have splattered on him.

Closed eyelids. It’ll never open again.

“Irene…! Irene…!”

The man holds the woman, whose warmth still lingers in his heart, crying as he calls her name.

“Please forgive me, I’m sorry.”

As if to say that, he continued to call her name, almost as if pleading.

How many seconds, how many minutes and how many hours had the man been like that?

His tears had dried up and no longer flowed, and he simply stared at her face in a daze.

‘I lost everything.’

The man’s heart was filled with those words and thoughts.

He lost his parents at a young age, and also lost a childhood friend whom he looked up to like an older sister.

After that, he had a close friend who supported him when he was in despair.

And his best friend died because of his own error of judgment.

If he had made a different choice back then, his best friend would still be alive.

And there was only one thing left in his life – her, Irene.

She  always supported me even after I lost my parents, my childhood friend, and my best friend.

I loved her and she loved me too.

But now she is dead.

Right in front of my eyes…

“That’s enough now…”

“For me, who has lost everything… there is no point in living in this world anymore.”

The man holds the dagger in his hand.

“I’m sorry, Irene… We swore to live together…”

“I’m heading over there now… so wait for me…”

Then the man… cut his own throat.

The man falls onto his back, feeling the blood rapidly leaving his body.

The taste of blood began to fill his mouth, and he coughed up the liquid rising from his throat. The ground, which was bright red from the start, now turns an even more vibrant crimson.

When the man looked up, the skyblue and beautiful white clouds were floating by. In contrast to this sea of ​​bright red blood, the blue, clear sky was beautiful.

“Irene…the sky was this blue the day I met you…”

The man was on the verge of death Soumato was watching.

All the bad memories, all the happy memories, it disappears in an instant.

The man looks next to him and sees the loved one he had been holding in his arms just a moment ago.

“I wanted you to see me off when I die, but I’m satisfied just having you by my side…”

‘When I thought like that, the pain and sensation suddenly faded away.’

His consciousness also fades away, and in the end he feels the sensation of everything becoming nothing.

The man, Eric, is dead.
