c17 (1/2)

On the second floor of the bar, Lud her body on the terrace’s handrails

Eht, a Whiteday’s moon

Her hand that was holding a s

Her o

The thick s to her nose

The mountain of over a hundred corpses The sea of red blood spreading underneath

It was unbelievable

Today wasn’t the first time Ludmila had killed a person

However, she couldn’t believe it

The existence of people who bathed in the backspurt of blood as they killed as if it were a daily occurence

“Yo”

A voice called out to her from behind

Startled, Ludmilla turned around

There was shi+zuru wearing a friendly smile there

However, the smile carried the fearful impression that accompanied him

— How could he be so cal people?

“… want so?”

Ludmila sed the question that suddenly came to mind and sourly asked

“No, well, you disappeared fro sick”

Feeling sick

Was the reason for that the alcohol, or was it the job just earlier

Whichever one it was, Ludmila could not have known

“Want some of these?”

He continued It was an anti-intoxicant, or possibly a sedative

As he was formally a physician, shi+zuru would have stocked on both, though without anywhich hich

In any case, shi+zuru was holding a s it to Ludmila Ludmila, however, shook her head

“No need I hate medicine”

“How childlike, so cute”

shi+zuru chuckled

Luder than shi+zuru She was an adult, although just barely

Therefore she felt just a touch of irritation at being treated as a child, but she did not feel like retorting

Most of all, Ludht the same way

“Hoas the job today? I think the situation was a little different than the usual”

Putting the medicine away, he switched to another topic

Ludmila felt just a little hesitant to reply, but she answered annoyedly

“… Are youtoday, the other three besides us did most of the work, didn’t they?”

“Not three, but four, okay? Eliza and Beth don’t like to be luether”

“Like that matters at all”

“Eeeh…”

Being bluntly refused to, shi+zuru made a wry smile

Thinking back, he was always like this

He does not get enraged or sad

His ele bit

And until now, he had never made her feel that fact

Lud more than a simple, mild-mannered man

―― just a simple man

He wasn’t supposed to be fit for an assassin

“You starting to dislike it?”

“… Eh?”

shi+zuru’s question came all too suddenly, and yet it hit the core of theLudmila widen her eyes

“Have you come to dislike this job?”

shi+zuru repeated the question to her

He was neither conde the question

“Don’t … don’t make fun of me!”

After a short pause, Ludmila answered stiffly

The corners of her eyes slanted upwards Her lavender-purple colored, coh shi+zuru

She then stepped briskly up to hirabbed him by the neck

“There are things I must do even if it costs me my life! That’s why I joined Black Maria! That’s why I’ve alanted to transfer to the fourth squad!”

So she must do

The tone of her voice as she said that was cold and hard, hinting at the strong will contained within

Which was exactly why shi+zuru was even more deeply worried

“… revenge, is it?”

“…!?”

A rief

Hearing that, Lud as far as they can go

“H … how did … !?”
