The Making Of A Broken Character Epilogue Part 1

Upon making it outside, the place was a hilly grassland.

The black smoke of a fire was visible from far away and clouds like cotton candy swam along the sky.

In the end, the research facility was partially destroyed by the shock wave from Yuukis attack.

Within the fragrance of fresh leaves being carried through the air, a girl with a shrine maiden outfit spoke,

Heythanks. I made you take on the unreasonable

Yuuki nodded his head,

I had decided not to rely on that power except for when things get really serious.

I knowits really troublesome for you.

There was silence for a while.

Yuukis facial expression had some pain mixed in.

Ouchquite some time has passed but it still hasnt settled down.

Will you be alright? Im really sorry about that.

Nah, its fine. I got involved with this because I wanted to.

With that, Ruri expressed the words she kept hidden inside her chest,

You knowif youre alright with itperhapsyou and I could together

As if she had suddenly made a mistake, Ruri put her hand over her mouth.

From now on, she had plans to start a revolt against the Noranouk Kingdom.

She absolutely did not want the tragedies that befell upon her and others to happen again, as nowshe had finally obtained strength.

This was what she decided on.

However, she acknowledged that she use some companions rather than fighting alone.

The man in front of her had given his assistance, and how reassuring it was that he did.

However, she had her reasons not to drag him into her own battle, so she had decided to stay silent

While Ruri was thinking about such thoughts, he had promptly replied in a carefree manner, as if talking about eating lunch together,

Hmm? You want me to tag along with you? I dont particularly mind.

Twas so.

If someone was in trouble, that person in front of her would be a

samaritan that could put an end to that.

He wouldnt mind injuring himself and would try his best until the bitter end to put the case to a close. She had understood plenty.

Thats why Ruri frantically hid her true feelings.

N, no, thats not itumhow do I say thiswellnext timeif we meet again somewhereyou and I could have a meal together. When we do, Ill give you my gratitude for today.

With a nod, Yuuki complied.

Alright, then Ill look forward to it.

AfterwardsRuri presented the battleaxe she carried in her hands towards Yuuki.

I know that youre strong. Butno matter how you look at it, arent you being too careless by going around unarmed? Its not like you know martial arts, right? There are probably plenty of people out there stronger than Higureso please, take this.

Alright, I shall gracefully accept this. Well then, see ya.

With those words, he started walking away with the battleaxe on his shoulder.

You trulyhave my thanks.

In response to her words, he waved his hand from behind his back.

A few minutes had now passed.

While Ruri was looking at the traces his back that were only visible from far away, a voice resounded in her head,

Ruri? Are you really okay with this?

It seems that in the endamongst the other souls that lay dormant within memy older sister is the only one that can talk with me like normal.

In the first place, Higure used an actual skill to harvest them as bonus points after they died. In my case, I was only put into a half-dead state instead, where my will was placed inside a twisted figure. So, the remnants of myself are quite strong.

I see

So, Ruri? Are you really okay with this? Okay letting him just

Ruri spoke with tightened lips,

You know it too, dont you? Wefrom here on must put an end to the tragedies of the summoned heroes. Thats why I

I wont go with him, nor will I depend on him.

The heroes had the will within their soul restrained, which was to say that they were put under absolute slavery.

They were forced to obey orders unconditionally. For example, if theyre ordered to die then they have no choice but to do so.

The forced-compliance condition of the soul similarly took place during the harvests of souls being converted into points.

Originally, Ruri also had her will put into the clutches of Higure. However, Higure did not use that power earlier.

No, to be exact, it couldnt be used at that time.

In the previous battle, the reason why Higure did not restrain her was simple.

Ultimately, ones will was the core of their soul, and the magnitude of Ruris soul was too great to be able to order around.

His will was taken away from him by the Noranouk king, is that the reason?

Right. So, perhapsit would be too unreasonable, right? I cantask him to accompany me.

In that moment, her sisters laughter resounded in her head.

Well, thats probably the main reason, butanother reason was that you were actually just embarrassed, right?

Huh?

Its like how people cant tell their crush that they like themPerhaps a maidens heart just cant be honestAs always, youre easy to read, but cute, arent you?

Wait, sister? What are you talking about? Did you see his getup? Not a chance!

How many years do you think Ive lived with you? I know whats going on.

Ruri, realizing there was no escape, puffed her cheeks and turned her heads sideways on the spot.

Aaah, I dont know you anymore!

Her sisters voice resounded with a giggle.

In a profound sentiment, Ruri sighed deeply.

ButI am happy.

Happy?

I never thought I could talk with my sister like this again.

Same here. Since youre going to tread on dangerfrom now on and alwayswithout even a moments breakI will watch over you.

Ruri was then bothered by

bothered by something.

An unpleasant chill ran along her back.

Without even a moments breakDoes thatby any chancemean youll be here at any kind of occasion?

Thats the way it is. By the way, you may not know this, but the five senses that you feel are being shared with me.

Huh, is that so. Wellthats fine if Im just eatingbut by any chancedoes that also include when Im using the toilet?

Of course it does. Naturally, since your sense of taste is shared with me, when youre eating you would also be giving me a bite to eat.

With her index finger between her eyebrows, she asked with a cold sweat,

I dont see it happening, andI still dont have experience yet, butdoes that also includewhen I have my first time?

Your senses will also be shared with me at that time. WellI dont have experience with it either. So naturally, when your picking a gentleman for your first timeIll speak out.

There was silence for a bit.

Fearfully, Ruri asks,

Seriously?

Im serious.

Silence.

Further silence.

Ruri, who couldnt endure the silence, squeezed out her voice,

Im kind ofno actually, Im reallyagainst that

If I said I didnt have much opposition over here, Id be lying to myself, butsince sexual desire is a strong emotion, I can tolerate such sensitive matterstogether with my sister.

Uwaa thought Ruri

Her sister hit the nail on the head, so she couldnt retaliate at such a time.

Her older sister was speaking seriously.

You talked about speaking out when choosing a man, sowhat about that one from just a while ago?

Not happening. Im interested in looks. That mask and mantle was a sad display.

Ruri crumbled down on the spot, and at her wits end, she lowered her head many times.

Thats how it is, isnt it? That would be the normal reactionWell, I myselfdont know why Im going crazy like this

Well anyways, you only have to think about whats ahead of you. Theres plenty of Theres plenty of time, and its fine if we only get used to the sharing of your body little-by-little.

So, whats the first order of business? There are other facilities out there that are conducting cruel experiments. It would be natural to think that there are dangerous people out there on Higures level. It would be impossible for me alone to land a blow.

If you want someone to seek assistance from, theres the great sage SignumHowever, in terms of pure fighting strengthwhich is our area of domainhes not too useful

She agreed to her older sisters words,

As expected, we have no choice to win the favor of a demon noble. Even so, well have to get the important ones like the Demon Lord: Natasha Erigaul.

Now that you mention it, there were stories about a demon who had changed and was now in the west desert, werent there?

Oh, that demon by the oasis who helped out the merchants being attacked by bandits? Yeah, since that demon can speak with humans, they carry intelligencewhich means theyre likely a demon noble.

With a pat, Ruri stood up and removed the sand that got stuck to her bottom. Then, she held her hand over her heart.

Well thenshall we go, sister? A variety of things will happenPlease take care of me, okay?

Yeah, lets go, Ruri. Until youve lived out your lifespanIll keep on watching over you.

The road leading to the desert.

On the road facing west, one girl walks.

A cheerful summer breeze sets her pony tail smoothly adrift.

The girls chit chat with her companion never stopped.

From an outsider perspective, she may have looked strange to have kept on talking to herself the whole time.

However, on that day, she had the expression that said she would keep on smiling, just like her sister asked her to.

And the unyielding smile of those girls caused sunflowers to fully blossom and become lively.
