95 – 96. That night

A deep night with the moon high

“Hmm…Hmm…Hmmm…♬”

A deserted road with no one.

Flickering street lights.

A road with no passing cars.

If you think normally, it was as dangerous as there were no people, and it was even gloomy.

“Kill…Kill! Everyone die♬”

For some people, that place became the best stage.

A place where you can sing without anyone listening.

A small concert hall just for you that can start only when no one is there.

“I don’t care about mother and father♬ I’ll attack them all…♩”

The nasal sound coming out of the nose is the bass

The beating of the heart is other

The pieces of stone on the soles of the feet are on the drums

A band that plays together with songs you hum with your mouth

“P—S!”

For the finishing touch, he even made a peace sign with his own hands.

At the same time, I’m holding my arms out pretending to smoke, in case someone sees it.

“……Hmm”

After the performance, he looked around to see if there would be an audience.

Only after confirming that no one was there, the street musicians resumed their concerts.

“Hmm… Hmm…”

Unlike the first time, a little passively

However, the sound that seems to be ringing in my ears, and counting through my chest, gradually starts to get louder.

“hehehehe~…Hmm…hehehe~~♩”

A house that arrived at some point after humming a song.

When I opened the door and went inside, the inside of the house appeared with the lights off and no one there.

“I’m back.”

A half-instinctive greeting.

Take off your shoes and put socks and clothes in the laundry basket.

As soon as he arrived, he washed his body, tidied up, and immediately lay down on the bed as the night was deep.

“…….Hmm”

Lying on the bed

I quietly close my eyes

“Uhm…Umm…”

Once to the right

Twice to the left

I put my feet out meaninglessly, and my outstretched fingers involuntarily start tapping the mattress.

Tok, tok, took… Tok tok

“Huh… Heh heh… Hmm…”

Continuous playing sound

Wow, the lyrics that linger in my head are awful.

At the end of the day, Minerva lifted her body to breathe lightly, seeing herself unable to fall asleep and only fidgeting with her hands the whole time.

“Not really, but…”

Still, I worked really hard.

You worked really hard for a week.

So, for me and for the future, I wonder if you can give me a small reward.

To tell the truth, it was Minerva who had already enjoyed a date with Chrono as a reward, but she didn’t think about it.

Originally, the one who is conscious of self-justification is the loser.

“On the headset…On the amplifier…”

The chest of drawers across the street

I open the large box hidden behind the clothes and take out the contents carefully.

“…Found”

An electric guitar painted in navy blue.

He named it [Grail Impius (Unholy Grail)]… But he had never called it that way himself.

‘An apostle serving Athena…’

Unholy Grail, a strange name.

Could it be ‘Athena’s Unholy Grail’ in one word?

It was a name that made me afraid of divine punishment just thinking about it.

“As expected, I should go back to sleep now…”

No

No

I’ve come this far, how can I get back?

My heart will be calmed down if I play at least one song.

Minerva got up slowly and latched the door.

Since I live alone, no one will come, but I feel like I have to do it

It wasn’t until after the curtains were drawn thick that Minerva turned on a small lamp and went to work.

Geeeing——!

“Sound…Sound…”

She never wrote while she was in the dorm.

As expected, the coordination is very broken. She didn’t even like the line a bit, but she had a rather antique taste, so she brainwashed herself.

It’s an electric guitar in the first place, so the strings matter a lot.

‘How important are lines?’

The world of musical instruments is ‘a’ different and ‘uh’ different with just one sense that touches your fingertips—————————!

“…Haaa”

It seems that a little or a lot has been piled up.

Before you entered Hagisa Academy, did you come by at least once every two weeks?

When I was in the middle of the day, I went at least once a week, so it wasn’t too strange even if I had withdrawal symptoms as I had endured it for more than three months.

“If Athena hears it, she might laugh…”

Addicted to the electric guitar, her limbs are shaking or something.

Minerva tuned her guitar with a familiar motion and put her headset on her head.

Geee!

“Huh…!”

A mechanical sound stabbing your ears coolly

This sound, as if the cares of the whole heart were clouded, as if the lightly flicking of the pick had left the mind far away.

Minerva started playing slowly, stumbling over the chords on her guitar.

“Kill… Kill…”

Today, a performance I heard for the first time

“Amy, Abby, everyone die♬”

Chrono played

The performance that fascinated passers-by

“I am a terrorist from hell!”

“You ripped off Lucifer’s head and ripped off Michael’s wings!”

The stammering hands become stained with certainty at some point

Replaying her performance at that moment at her fingertips, Minerva began to sing while holding her breath.

“Raide the father…! Kill the mother…!”

A sanctuary that can only be completed by destroying the place where you were born!

From noble mtl dot com

Keee!!!!

Treble from an electric guitar

Death metal for her one, only heard through her headset

The moment Minerva reached her climax while playing the guitar while shaking her whole body ──

──Tadadak!

“Kyaaah…?!”

A string that bounces off

The power of the electric guitar that became a rag in an instant was more absurd than the palm hit by her guitar strings.

“This is… Why…”

Why why why why

That’s right, the condition of the guitar strings is rotten, but it’s because I played the guitar forcibly, even using the power of an apostle.

“Oops… Uh… Ugh…”

I’m sorry.

Something is missing.

I came right in front of you. I was able to reach the end.

The most pleasant place

I came all the way right in front of it, but it’s this shape.

“…Huh…Haaa…”

Minerva sighed deeply as she gripped the guitar by the neck.

Yes

That’s right

“Didn’t you say that you shouldn’t even start doing things that don’t fit your needs…?”

As if talking to someone

Minerva was finally able to see the back of her hand and her fingertips in pain.

“…It hurts”

Skin scraped by guitar strings

From the sharp pain felt under the fingernails.

Minerva silently held the half-broken guitar to his chest.

“It hurts… It hurts…”

As if complaining, Minerva hugged the guitar in her arms.

“…………..”

Take five or six breaths

Minerva slowly set the guitar down from her bosom.

“I just need to throw away the guitar strings and put up with the pain”

Arrange her place as if nothing had happened.

“I did everything I wanted to do.”

After cleaning her room, Minerva lay down on the bed again.

“……Haaa”

She still couldn’t sleep.

The sound of musical instruments did not linger in my ears like before.

Her heart just seemed to rise, so she couldn’t sleep for some reason.

“Sue, haaa…”

A heart that finds it difficult to stay calm even if it tries to stay calm.

In the end, there’s no way she could raise her fist and thump the bed with all her heart, and hit her.

“…Haaa”

Because it breaks the moment you hit it.

Finally, unable to do anything, Minerva blankly stretched out her hand.

Wherever you go

As far as your hand goes

What he reached at the end was his cell phone, which had been plugged into the charger.

“…..Um”

A thought came to my mind

‘Chrono is about now…’

Are you sleeping?

Maybe he’s sleeping.

“…………..”

Looking blankly at the screen.

Ah

What should I do?

‘I can’t do it…’

Unbeknownst to me, it goes into the phone log.

Look at the phone number with Chrono’s name on it.

“Let’s not…”

Yes

It’s okay not to

Minerva caught her head and turned off her phone.

“By the way… Come to think of it…”

You haven’t received the money yet.

Self rationalization begins again

‘Sometimes he said he was very strong about money…’

It is often said that money-mad people go out and knock on doors in the middle of the night.

So this was all because Chrono told me, and it was never my intention…

…Absolutely, it’s something I shouldn’t have done, but I feel like I’ve gotten a little more serious with the money involved…?

─Diriring♬

“Ah”

Sent.

I sent it.

I sent it away.

[Minerva: XXXXXX-XX-XXX, cadet account]

“…Aww!!”

Oops

Idiot

Idiot

‘You idiot…!’

I want to cancel.

However, it was impossible to cancel because it was sent via text message.

The only thing possible is to pray that Chrono didn’t see it.

So Minerva waited for Chrono to reply.

“…………..”

Wait for no reply.

“……Huh?”

By the way, do you usually wait for no reply?

A stupid idea even if you think about it yourself

In normal cases, if the reason for waiting…

“Waiting for a text message…”

I don’t wait for texts not to arrive.

In that case, I hope that Chrono will reply…

“…..Haaa”

Only today, no, only after coming home, how many sighs do you have?

Minerva flipped her phone over and turned her body backwards.

‘Let’s sleep’

I have too many thoughts.

It was better to think after sleeping.

“…………..”

I have to sleep.

I have to sleep to wake up.

I was trying to sleep, obviously?

─Diriring♬

“!,…….”

But when the alarm suddenly rings, I get a little curious.

It could be meaningless spam mail, but what if it was Chrono’s reply?

It was only right that I should say sorry for texting you late at night.

“Big…Hmm, hmmm…”

Minerva reached out and checked her phone.

[♚♚Heroine of the Gods(G)☆S☆Pod♚♚$$ when signing up Card Pack☜☜100% gift on the back※ ♜World of s*xcraft♜harempet free gift¥ Specific Conditions §§Lucifer 3§ §★Devil’s Legacy★Acquisition Opportunity@@@]

“…..Yes”

That’s right

It was a situation that suited him perfectly.

On the contrary, Minerva regains her reason in the heartbreaking development.

Minerva put down her phone and turned her body over.

─Diriring♬

“…………..”

Why do people continue to be deceived even though they know it?

As an aside

“…Uh…?”

Why do people keep repeating mistakes?

[Mr. Chrono: Who are you?]

“…………”

Maybe it’s because mistakes sometimes turn into miracles.

Minerva typed slowly and sent her message.

[Minerva: This is Minerva. Sorry for texting you late at night. It’s nothing else, I just sent it because I didn’t tell you the account number… I’m sorry, Mr. Chrono. (Frog emoticon with head down)]

“…Is this enough?”

Minerva stared at her phone.

[Mr. Chrono: Mai is not your brother]

“Yes?”

What?

[Minerva: Who are you by any chance…?]

[Crono: My is My]

“…………..”

Mai, the name of an unknown person

A woman in terms of language.

From the looks of it, he’s probably a child.

[Minerva: What is your relationship with Chrono?]

“No way…”

Suddenly, a family

However, no matter how much I think about it, I denied the assumption, saying that Chrono wouldn’t be garbage to that extent.

[Mr. Chrono: Mai is her brother’s pet.]

“………Oh”

He was dog trash.

Oops

It’s not even recycled, but waste grade garbage is pure love

“Pets and lovers are separate…?”

That night

Minerva had trouble falling asleep in many ways.
