chapter 32

Nevertheless…

I still have my own suspicions.

Why is that monster not shooting it’s beam from there?

Isn’t that beam powerful enough to penetrate the wall I’m hiding on?

It definitely knows that I’m lurking somewhere around here.

However, it hasn’t shot another beam at all.

Something— is it aiming at something?

[Hmm?]

Becha~! Docha~! Becho~!

Something that looks like a sludge fell down from a little distance away from my position.

Has the Soul Eater finally released itself?

What’s happening?

[!]

The sludge combined together and is slowly changing it’s shape.

It’s in the shape of a human.

If I were to compare it to something, it’s like an elaborate art made out of clay.

It was as if I was seeing the creation of a statue made of clay in fast-forward.

Finally, three humanoids that were colored in bluish purple rose from the clay.

I’m used to seeing humanoid monsters in this ruins but…

I can’t feel some strange eerieness when I look at that head part of the humanoid monsters.

The monsters’ head have a strange appearance that looks like a vertical human lips.

What the heck, these monsters were…

creepy.

And with the subtle vibrations I can feel on my feet, I know that the Soul Eater is slowly approaching here.

It’s slow, but it’s moving towards here.

[…tsk! For the time being, I should invoke

I’ve been trying to be kind.

I raised one of my arms, and showed off the bloody fingertip when the Soul Eater had tried to bite off my hand.

[I have always been tricking myself— deceiving myself.]

And then finally, I have forgotten what the “real me” is like.

[I have—]

I opened my eyes wide as I’m laughing at the emotions I’m feeling right now.

[I have always been playing the role of “Mimori Touka”, a kind and ordinary air mob.]
