After a long period of silence.
A cold breeze blew past them, causing their clothes to flutter.
Kazufuru grit his teeth.
"You're lying! That's not what you're really saying!!
You're actually looking down on me, aren't you!? You treat me like an idiot and look down on me in your heart!!
Otherwise, why … would you be so disdainful of becoming friends with me for such a long time!? "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Seiji revealed a strange expression as he felt that Kazufuru's words were rather subtle.
Kazufuru also felt that something was wrong with his question, but he couldn't think of any other words to express his feelings.
"After what happened back then, I felt that it was fine to just maintain a normal classmate relationship with you. It's not that I'm disdainful of becoming friends with you," Seiji told him honestly. "If you still mind what happened back then, I apologize to you."
"I don't want to apologize! What I want is … Wanhua Summer Night! "Kazufuru cleared his thoughts.
"That's impossible." Seiji's expression instantly became expressionless.
"You … you're looking down on me as expected!"
"No, this is disdain."
"Is there a difference!?"
"Of course there is. Disdain is deeper than disdain."
Kazufuru was rendered speechless.
Another cold breeze blew past them.
"You like Wanhua Summer Night right now, don't you?"
"Yes."
"And she likes you as well?"
"You'll have to ask her that question."
Kazufuru took a deep look at Seiji.
Seiji faced him directly.
"… Even if I kill you, she probably won't like me." Moments later, Kazufuru slowly lowered his head. "No … I should say that even if you didn't exist, she still wouldn't like me."
Seiji remained silent.
"In the end, I'm just an idiot," Kazufuru said self-deprecatingly. "I've been one from the very beginning."
"Ooike-san …"
"Shut up! I don't want to listen to you anymore. "
Kazufuru viciously glared at Seiji as he clenched his fists.
Indescribable emotions were swirling within him. He couldn't explain what they were. However, towards the Harano Seigo before him, there was only anger left. He no longer had any killing intent.
'I'm just an idiot … '
Kazufuru Ooike clenched his fists tightly. His body began to tremble, and his vision began to blur.
He turned away from her so that she would not see his face.
"You … should go." With incomparable difficulty, he said these words.
"Ooike-san …"
"I said shut up! Don't talk to me again! Scram!!! "Kazufuru roared.
Tears flowed from her eyes and her body trembled.
Behind him, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
After Kazufuru could no longer hear any sounds, he kneeled in the sandpit and destroyed the sand tower that he had just made with a single punch!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh —
He burst into tears.
Suffering from the pain of falling out of love, regret for the past, despair in the face of death … all kinds of unbearable emotions overwhelmed him.
The top student was crying in the sandpit, venting his emotions by forcefully flipping the sand. Tears streamed down his face, making him look like a grieving child.
"I don't want to die … I don't want to die …"
When the five days were up, he would die.
He didn't want to sacrifice himself, but he couldn't bring himself to kill the person he hated. He didn't know what to do …
'Why did something like this happen to me … why …'
"Someone save me … I don't want to die … I want to live …"
He was only a first year high school student, and he was only a second year high school student. He was still in the prime of his youth.
He had always worked hard and never done anything shameful. He was proud of his own life.
He still had a long road ahead of him, and there were many things he wanted to do. He didn't want to die like this …
"I want to live … I don't want to die … save me …"
Kazufuru cried in despair and begged for help from his very soul.
"Ooike-san …"
He seemed to hear something.
"Ooike-san …"
A voice that should have left already.
"Ooike-san … I've received your call for help …"
His gentle and resolute voice had the power to comfort Kazufuru.
The crying Kazufuru lifted his head and saw that Harano Seigo was crouching down next to him with a hand extended in his direction.
"Let me help you."
…
Harano Seigo was a Spiritual Ability user!
Although Kazufuru was astonished to learn of this, he wasn't too surprised.
In fact, he was rather confused as to why he hadn't thought of this possibility before. After all, everyone in his class had already guessed this possibility.
He should have thought of it … why didn't he?
Kazufuru didn't understand. He was confused about this for quite a while. In the end, he could only blame it on his own stupidity.
Just like before, he had made a mistake at a crucial part.
When Kazufuru regained his senses, he discovered that he had been brought to a dojo.
"I'll dispel the curse for you here." Seiji told the excellent student. "The process is risky, and it might be quite painful. You need to be mentally prepared."
Kazufuru fell silent for a moment before nodding.
Seiji had Kazufuru lie down on the ground, close his eyes, and relax his body. He then began casting a spell.
Seiji set up a barrier and chanted an incantation. A golden-red mystical spell formation appeared.
Runes appeared on Kazufuru's body, and black mist gradually started coming out of him.
"Argh …"
Kazufuru's chest started burning up. Once again, he felt as if he was being branded by a hot iron. His body became incomparably stiff.
He did his best to endure it. Soon, he felt as if something within his body was moving, as if it was a living creature that had been disturbed.
Then, an even more intense pain flooded his body like a tidal wave. He felt as if his body was being forcefully torn apart and then melted. However, he also felt an incomparably cold sensation …
"Arghhhhhh!!!!"
Kazufuru heard an incredibly pitiful scream.
The next second, Kazufuru realized that he was the one who was screaming.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a serious expression on Harano and Seigo's faces … no, he was looking down at Kazufuru!
Kazufuru realized that he was currently in midair, so he suspiciously checked himself. He discovered that he was currently in a black space filled with strange green crystals. Not only that … he had transformed into a gigantic monster!?
A gigantic blood-red body, dark green ugly arms, and sharp black claws … just what was this!?
Kazufuru wanted to ask this, but his voice turned into a sinister roar!
"Ooike-san, do you still have your consciousness!? If you do, please nod! "Seiji shouted to Kazufuru.
The gigantic monster before Kazufuru had a vicious and twisted face, long red teeth, and long green horns that gave off a cold glow. This was definitely a "Great Demon"!
Kazufuru wanted to nod in response, but his body was no longer under his control. His consciousness was also starting to become hazy.
'So hot … so uncomfortable …
'Kill … kill …
'Just … what have I become …?
'Kill … kill … kill …
'How … could this be …?
'Kill … kill … kill … kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!'
Intense pain flooded Kazufuru as the urge to kill took over his mind. He swung his gigantic arms and viciously smashed them towards the figure before him!
"Hurry and run!"
Kazufuru wanted to shout at Harano and Seigo with his remaining sense of reason. However, all that came out of his mouth was the sound of a demon.
Normally, Kazufuru seemed so tall and strong. But now, Kazufuru seemed as small as a child. If he hit Kazufuru, he would die …
* Smack!! *
Kazufuru's gigantic claws smashed into the ground.
Harano and Seigo dodged the attack.
At a speed that Kazufuru couldn't even see clearly!
"I'm sorry if you've lost consciousness." Seiji looked at the Great Demon. "Ooike-san, please bear with it for a while."
The next second, Kazufuru saw Seigo's entire body erupt with a golden mist. Golden runes appeared on his skin, and his hair transformed into long, flowing blonde hair that glowed with an extraordinary aura!
'This is … a transformation?'
Kazufuru's remaining consciousness was stunned.
