Chương 56: ”What Truly Happened That Day”

We don't have parents. Both of them died in an accident when we were young. Relatives took us in, but they seemed to find you annoying. They were harsh to you in various ways, weren't they? Saying you didn't want to trouble them too much, you decided to live on your own upon graduating from junior high school. They were happy about it, and you felt relieved too. As for high school, you studied hard. It was good that you found a place you could enter with a tuition waiver.

Since you had no money, you rented a cheap, rundown apartment near the school. Working part-time until late at night to earn living expenses, and studying when you get back. With that, your day ends. Although you could hardly play with friends, you didn't feel unhappy about it particularly. Peaceful everyday life with nothing special. Because that was exactly what you wished for. Just being an ordinary high school student with only that... well, maybe a little unreliable and strange. Fufu.

But at least, you were a human within the range of common sense. But those days seem far away now. Let's start from the beginning of the incident. You had been having strange dreams often lately. In the dream, you are standing in a pitch-black space. In front of you, a girl with black hair reaching a little past her shoulders—in other words, I am standing. You are staring at me. You don't remember me at all. But strangely, you shouldn't have felt like I was a total stranger. Because we met long ago.

Your voice is rather high, and you ended up growing up with a girly face after all. You might not be very manly, but you're cute and I like you. Still, your physique became reasonably solid, and your height grew to the average for boys. You always wished to be taller. Your growth spurt was late, but it was good that it came properly. Well, compared to when you were small, maybe you became a little tougher. In the dream, you reach out to me. At the same time, I reach out to you.

Symmetrical movements like a mirror image. And the moment your hand and my hand touch, the boundary between the two hands disappears, and they enter each other as if passing through. Starting from there, your body gradually melts into me. You and I mix together and gradually become one. As you are remodeled into my body, my mind mixes in and turns you into a girl. Just like I did back then. You feel melting pleasure and burning heat all over your body and—. Hey, wait a minute.

When I merge with you, it doesn't feel that good, you know. Geez. Thinking weird things. Because you've been a closet pervert since long ago. Isn't there a little adolescent delusion mixed in? Pervert.... Ahem. Anyway, you started having such dreams often recently. You didn't go crazy or anything. Rest assured. This must surely be a sign that the ability is awakening. We can meet soon. I was looking forward to it. But, I was wrong. The night you turned sixteen. You were working part-time until late that day too.

On the way home, you saw a strange person standing leaning against a utility pole in front of you. You nearly got killed by the blonde woman, Ena. I could only watch inside you, and it was really frustrating. If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it. Then you finally heard from her mouth about awakening as a FabL. The harsh fate of FabLs she talks about. Because of what happened before, it was something I had guessed long ago.

You, who knew nothing, were terribly shaken, weren't you? But don't lose. No matter what fate awaits ahead, I intend to continue supporting you forever. So, let's do our best togeth—!? At that moment, suddenly the'World of Heart' began to rage. What!? What on earth is happening!? A torrent of enormous power accompanied by white light occurred here and there, making it impossible to stand there. Strange. This is impossible. Even though the ability shouldn't have awakened yet. —No, it's awakening!? No way.

Why is this happening!? At that time, some foreign, hideous power sneaked into the 'World of Heart'. That violent power disturbs the 'World of Heart' even more. When I noticed, surprisingly, my mind had been torn off from the body it was supposed to inhabit. My body, which became an empty shell, was swept away by the flow of power as it was, and moved further and further away from me, who had turned into only a spiritual body.

The destination was the end of the 'World of Heart'—your main body's mind and body facing the real world. Soon, only my body will reach you. At that time, you were also about to have your mind forcibly peeled from your own body. And, completely against your will, you are about to be pushed into a woman's body. Oh no! Yu is suffering! The ability is going crazy, and transformation is about to happen forcibly! I have to go help quickly! Although I think so, I am just tossed about by the raging flow of power.

If I relaxed my attention even a little, my mind seemed likely to be torn apart immediately. No! I just can't reach where Yu is! I struggle desperately and try to head there somehow, but eventually, the raging flow calmed down first. By that time, your mind had completely entered my body. Anyway, even from now. Pull myself together. Timing it when the flow calmed down, I somehow reached my own body where you reside, and slipped my own spiritual body into it. Good. With this, I can finally be your strength.

Immediately synchronizing my mind, I feel your heart directly. Violent agitation was transmitted. I work desperately to calm you down. Then, the man who caused the mysterious rampage in our ability— Will appeared there. When I saw him, I wonder why. For a moment, I felt like I recognized him. But it must be my imagination. I don't know a guy like this. Because there is no memory of this guy even in the 'World of Heart', there should be no mistake. After saying some sarcastic things, he suddenly tore your clothes.

When the chest was exposed, I felt intense anger. What are you doing! Terrible! To be seen by a guy like this! Even after that, he said whatever he wanted as much as he liked. What do you mean! Making him a toy! When I felt you trembling with fear from the bottom of your heart, I couldn't stand it anymore. If it's now that we've grown, maybe it's okay to use the ability a little. Hey Yu. Let's punish such a playful guy together. If me and you, if we combine our powers. Surely there is nothing to fear!

Just as I hardened my resolve, he peered into your face as if piercing it. His eyes were completely cold like a dead person. There is absolutely no light in his pupils, and they are filled with deep and sharp darkness enough to swallow everything. Just by one glare, wouldn't he be able to kill everything reflected in those eyes? He emitted such overwhelming pressure that made me think so. Why on earth, what must happen for a person to have such eyes? Scary... How terrifying...

I have never seen such freezing, hideous eyes before. The feeling of wanting to defeat him withered easily. Overwhelming fear welled up at once even in me. Still, if I don't hold on. Your heart will break completely. Only that must not happen. I was desperately trying to endure the attacking fear. But at that time, why. Suddenly my consciousness is fading. Unbelievable. Why... I have to support you firmly. Even though you alone cannot demonstrate power satisfactorily.

Even though me and you, we are finally one together. In my consciousness beginning to haze, I burned Will's figure into my mind through your eyes. He didn't say anything, just stared at you intently. Looking into the depths of your eyes, at you. No—. Don't tell me...! When I noticed, it was too late. I was careless. What he was aiming for wasn't you from the beginning. It was Me lurking inside you. Probably, trying to put nuisance me to sleep—. No way. No way...! No... my consciousness... Fading. It's disappearing.

I squeezed out my last strength, and without knowing if you could hear, I desperately sent a warning to you. Yu. This guy is too dangerous. Be careful—.
