Chapter 6 - Wish
I hugged Makoto-kun without thinking.
Makoto: ...
As I didn't know what kind of face Makoto-kun was making... I continued to hug him strongly.
Makoto: ...Let go.
After a certain amount of time had passed, I let go of him in a panic when he said those single words softly.
MC: I-I'm sorry...
Makoto: ...
Makoto-kun hung his head down again silently and then...
Makoto: ...Let's go back. It seems like... those guys have already escaped.
He watched the men until the could no longer see them.
Makoto: ...
Makoto-kun looked at the men in irritation and then, he turned around and started walking.
MC: W-Wait...!
As it seemed like he didn't hear my voice, he continued walking forward.
When the area started to become shrouded in darkness, only my voice was heard within the deadly silence...
Chapter 7 - The Person Disappearing into the Night
Once it become night, the building lights and streetlights made the town shine brightly. I quickly followed Makoto-kun from behind as he looked like he was about to disappear within the light.
MC: Makoto-kun... Wait...!
Makoto: So annoying. Since you didn't give me your cooperation, I have no use for you. Just hurry and leave.
The words that he said coldly made my heart hurt, but...
(I can't leave Makoto-kun alone...)
MC: Makoto-kun...
When I said his name, Makoto-kun turned towards me and looked at me with a piercing gaze.
Makoto: ...What, do you want to die? I thought you understood earlier, but it's dangerous to stick around with me.
MC: That's not true...
Makoto: If you want to die... Then, shall I kill you?
MC: ...
His calm and somewhat lax tone made my chest tighten. Although, Makoto-kun looked like he was about to cry as he said that for some reason...
MC: Makoto-kun...
I reached out to him without thinking.
Makoto: ...!
When he suddenly pulled my arm strongly, he dragged me behind him.
MC: ...!
At a very fast speed, a single car passed by where I was just standing at.
Makoto: As usual... The public safety is bad. Even though it wasn't like that back then.
MC: Um... Thank you.
The sensation of Makoto-kun's hand still remained in my arm that he pulled.
Makoto: ...
Makoto-kun stood still as he wasn't saying anything.
-Flashback-
Makoto: Those guys... They took away everything from me. Mom and Dad too... Everything important to me...! I won't forgive them! They killed Mom and Dad and are living with carefree looks on their faces. I will make them all suffer in pain until they die... Ahahahaha!
-Flashback-
(I know that I'm in no position to say anything about that, but... If Makoto-kun continues with revenge like this, he'll...)
MC: Makoto-kun... I want you to stop trying to get your revenge.
Once I've gathered up my courage, I told that to Makoto-kun.
Makoto: You have no right to say that. Revenge is my reason for living.
Makoto-kun said that with a blank look in his eyes.
MC: But... Then, why do you look like you're about to cry? I don't... want to see you in pain.
I held his hand without thinking. I expected him to shake it off, but...
Makoto: ...
(Eh...)
I felt Makoto-kun lightly gripping my hand.
Makoto: ...Mom would hold my hand like this when I was a kid.
Makoto-kun murmured those single words.
MC: ...!
Just as I felt like I was about to cry while being overwhelmed heartrendingly... I held his hand with both of mine.
(Makoto-kun...)
Makoto: ...So warm.
I wanted to warm up his hand that was cold like ice just a little. While holding onto that wish, I continued to hold Makoto-kun's hand for as long as I could...
Last Chapter - Promise
-Flashback-
Makoto: ...Mom would hold my hand like this when I was a kid. ...So warm.
-Flashback-
After that... Unable to leave Makoto-kun alone, I returned to his home with him.
Makoto: ...I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.
After saying that, Makoto-kun crawled into his bed.
Makoto: Hey. Even though you know that I was going to use you, why are you still here?
MC: Because I don't want to leave you alone, Makoto-kun...
Makoto: ...Ah... I see.
After staying silent for a while, Makoto-kun muttered that.
Makoto: You... I...
MC: Makoto-kun...?
Makoto: ...
Then, Makoto-kun started making sleeping sounds softly.
(Such an innocent looking sleeping face...)
I softly touched Makoto-kun's cheek. Makoto-kun looked very peaceful after he fell asleep...
......
(...Huh? Looks like I fell asleep at that time...)
Makoto: Good morning, MC.
MC: ...?
When I slowly opened my eyes, Makoto-kun was looking at my face.
MC: Ah... Makoto-kun...!
I got up in a panic from the chair that I was sitting in.
Makoto: Ahaha! There are bags underneath your eyes.
His carefree smile made me relieved.
MC: Makoto-kun... Thank goodness, have you calmed down a little?
Makoto: What do you mean by calm down?
MC: What, you say...
(Because he looked very sad...)
When I became hesitant from those words for some reason, I kept silent.
Makoto: ...Don't make that face, MC.
After Makoto-kun said that, he suddenly held my hand.
MC: M-Makoto-kun...!?
He made a satisfied smile from seeing me becoming flustered.
Makoto: Were you that embarrassed? How cute!
When Makoto-kun chuckled with a smile, he stared at me next.
Makoto: I want to see you become even more embarrassed.
As he was enjoying himself like a child that was thinking up of a prank, he held my hand.
MC: I-Is something wrong?
(What happened...?)
I blinked many times.
Makoto: What's wrong, you say... You wanted to be with me, right? In that case, don't you want to spend time having fun with me?
MC: Eh...
Makoto: Am I wrong? But, you said so yesterday.
-Flashback-
Makoto: Hey. Even though you know that I was going to use you, why are you still here?
MC: Because I don't want to leave you alone, Makoto-kun...
-Flashback-
(Come to think of it, I did say that...)
Makoto: Since it seems like you love me, I should give you some love as well.
MC: Eh...?
Makoto: Doesn't that make you happy, ahaha!
Makoto-kun laughed very happily.
(I love Makoto-kun...?)
Perplexed by his sudden words, I softly tilted my head to the side.
Makoto: That face of yours is really nice.
After Makoto-kun said that, he picked me up with his slender arms.
MC: M-Makoto-kun...!
Surprised by his strong strength, I felt my own face turning red.
Makoto: Seeing your troubled face is so much fun♪
Makoto-kun looked at my face very closely.
Just as I looked away in embarrassment, he lightly pushes me down onto the bed.
Makoto: Don't... Show me your face properly.
When I looked at Makoto-kun's eyes as he placed both of his hands on my cheeks lovingly, I couldn't move my body.
Makoto: Just now, I didn't use my power.
Makoto-kun narrowed his eyes sadistically.
Makoto: I wonder why.., Even though I only lived for revenge. Somehow, I enjoy being with you.
When Makoto-kun said that, his fingers slithered against the back of my neck.
MC: ...!
Makoto: Ahaha...!
After seeing my shoulders twitch, he laughed innocently.
Makoto: If I'm with you... I wonder if I'll forget about revenge a little♪ Hey, MC, hug me.
MC: Eh...
Makoto: H-U-R-R-Y!
Unable to refuse, I nervously held his face against my chest.
Makoto: Yeah, it's warm. As long as I have this warmth, I think I can live.
(Makoto-kun...)
Filled with affection, I petted his head.
Makoto: Don't worry, I'll protect you.
MC: ...
(Such gentle eyes...)
The glass insect cage that was placed in a corner of the room entered my vision.
(But, I can't get Makoto-kun's cold look out of my head...)
I nervously looked at his eyes. Then, he showed a charming gentle smile.
(I want to believe that he's actually a kind person... I wonder if he smiles like this when I'm around...)
Makoto: What is it, MC?
Makoto-kun held my hand worriedly.
MC: Makoto-kun, won't you let the butterflies out...?
Makoto: Eh! Why? I have so much fun keeping them in there...
He said that like a sulking child.
MC: Let's have fun by being together. Lots of it... I'm going to be by your side after all...
Makoto: ...Promise...?
His tone became cold like ice. Holding back my fears, i returned a nod to that voice...
Makoto: ...Okay.
After he said that, he retrieved the insect cage and removed the glass lid. The beautiful butterflies lightly fluttered as they went out.
Makoto: Does this satisfy you?
Within the room of fluttering butterflies, Makoto-kun whispered that.
Makoto: You promised... MC.
I looked up at Makoto-kun's cold gaze. I slowly touched his cheek and...
Makoto: I'll give you love forever and ever.
Makoto-kun whispered that to me with a smile. I wanted to stay with Makoto-kun as he was smiling angelically forever... I made a vow to stay with him in my mind.
(Forever and ever...)
When I looked at the glass cage, some butterfly wings that were caught in the spider's web entered my vision.
(It couldn't get out...?)
Then, the spider slowly approached the beautiful butterfly...
