The End of Sasaki Emi: D

[ORIGINAL SIDE]

“Gift activated. [Solitary World of the Moon.]”

.

.

What is this……?

The moment Fukamori Mitsuki activates her Gift, intense light overflows from the moon and creates something that looks like a barrier around us.

.

The gentle light gathers around Fukamori Mitsuki.

It was both mysterious and eerie.

.

.

“Emi!”

“!?”

.

.

Hideyori-kun’s panicked voice pulled me back to my senses.

Just like me, he also felt the danger of that Gift.

.

.

“Shit, shit, shit………..that Gift is way more dangerous than what we’ve ever seen before……We’re running! Get out of this barrier now!”

“Y, Yes!”

“Wait, you two villains. It’s a personal invitation from me so don’t run away now. Besides, it will be over soon.”

.

.

Fukamori Mitsuki’s voice emanates anger.

Then, an unbelievable sight came to be.

.

.

“First off, Misuzu……it’s time for you to repent.”

“Kah, Hahh…….”

“I have linked your body with Takeru. His pain will be shared with you, Misuzu. You will wake up when he does. ……..But if Takeru dies, you die as well…….I’ll have you go through the same thing as Takeru.”

“……..”

“It’s okay……I will take care of both of you. Now realize the weight of your sin.”

.

.

After that exchange, Fukamori Misuzu suddenly crumbles to the ground in agony.

That mysterious Gift sent shivers down my spine.

.

The idea that this Gift of hers might even be more dangerous than [Dominating Decree] made me sweat so bad that my back was soaked.

.

.

“With judging Misuzu’s crime out of the way, it’s your turn now, Akechi Hideyori. And you, Eimi-lookalike.”

.

.

I don’t know what kind of relationship she has with my cousin Eimi-chan but I don’t know a single thing about this woman.

And that’s why her presence just makes me so uneasy.

.

.

“Just in case, let me ask……is Mitsuki’s ability only limited to linking people’s physical conditions?”

“Oi, you’re being overfamiliar, Akechi. You may be Takeru’s best friend but I don’t remember giving you permission to use my first name. Just having you two in my sight is already unpleasant enough. —-and to answer your question, No!”

.

.

Hideyori-kun takes a deep breath.

I can see that Fukamori Mitsuki has the ability to go against Hideyori-kun and I already regret being here so much that I want to run.

.

.

“My Gift is pretty delicate. It has a troublesome restraint in place you see. I can probably maintain it for about 5 minutes……..but the ability of this Gift, [As long as I am in this barrier, I can do whatever I want]”

.

.

“Like this,” she said as she produced an apple out of an empty space.

And as though to show that it’s real, she took a bite at it.

Her power is clearly much more terrifying than Hideyori-kun’s and I turned my eyes toward him.

.

.

“Fu, Fufu……. Then how about [You undo your Gift right now].”

.

.

Hideyori-kun activated his proud [Dominating Decree].

That reassured me a little.

But…..

.

.

“Did you use your Gift? There’s no way any of your Gifts would be able to do anything against mine right?”

.

.

[Solitary World of the Moon] remains in place and Hideyori-kun could only stare.

.

.

“Tch……, damn irritating.”

.

.

Hideyori-kun cursed, he was clearly irritated by the situation.

Because Hideyori-kun hates Juumonji-kun’s Gift more than anything else, something like this simply grates on his mind.

.

.

“……Haha. Let’s stop. Let’s stop!”

.

.

As though to make up for his earlier display Hideyori-kun put on a flattering smile.

.

.

“What are you so angry about anyway? Because I attacked Misuzu? That was just a joke. Even the thing with Mishima was outside of my expectations, you know. It’s just an accident, an accident. So, let’s get along.”

.

.

He raises both of his hands as though he’s surrendering to Fukamor Mitsuki as he approaches her.

.

.

“A joke, you say?”

“Right, exactly. I was rightfully pissed since she did that to Takeru right? Don’t you think that we are the same in that? Takeru and I are the bestest of friends you know.”

“………”

“And about Mishima, who could have expected that? There’s no way I would expect people to die because of her right? I only taught her to control her Gift in the first place. Don’t you see how kind-hearted I am? So, let’s makeup, Mitsuki-chan.”

.

.

While apologizing and making excuses for what he’s done, Hideyori-kun took a step toward Fukamori Mitsuki.

.

.

“………are there truly no lies in your words? Do you really want to atone for what you’ve done?”

“Yep, seriously. As serious as a heart attack! So, come on, let’s get along. How about a handshake?”

.

.

Hideyori-kun defenselessly extends his right hand toward her.

Naturally, even when she was eyeing him with suspicion, he was still all smiles.

.

.

“………….I understand. Let’s end this peacefully.”

“DIE!”

.

.

Using his left hand, Hideyori-kun took out a folding knife and lunged toward Fukamori Mitsuki’s head.

.

.

“………ah?”

.

.

*GAN!* A dull sound echoes.

Something transparent had stopped the tip of the knife just before it hit.

Fukamori Mitsuki shuts her eyes and sighs before taking another bite at the apple.

.

.

“It’s a shame……..I do not want to speak ill of Takeru’s friend but you really are the scum among scums huh.”

.

.

The apple she held in her hand turned into light and disappeared.

She then opens her eyes again.

Contempt, disappointment and quiet anger emanate from her irises.

She points her loathsome gaze at me and Hideyori-kun.

.

.

“Still, you said that you will atone for what you’ve done right? I won’t let you go back on your words now……..First of, that knife is in the way.”

“!?”

.

.

The folding knife in Hideyori-kun’s hand suddenly started to glow and melted away like ice.

Hideyori-kun stared as it happened with his mouth hung open in disbelief.

.

.

“Now, I guess I should just remove the whole arm huh.”

“……….Gah.”

.

.

Enduring the pain of the sudden pain in his right arm, Hideyori-kun clutches at his right shoulder.

If he dies, maybe I will be free. Such thoughts came to my mind.

.

—-Then die.

.

Don’t get me involved anymore.

I silently pray in my mind that Fukamori Mitsuki kills him.

.

.

“………..!? AHHH!? AHHHHHH….!?”

.

.

Suddenly, a sharp pain runs through my right shoulder.

What is this…….

What is going on…………..”

.

.

“Haa Haa…….[Emi, take over all the damage I receive]…………”

“Wha!? ……………YOU FIEND!”

.

.

The two’s conversation gradually seems so far away.

.

.

But it hurt! It hurt! It hurt! It hurt! ITHURT ITHURT ITHURT ITHURT ITHURT ITHURT ITHURT ITHURT

Why? EverytimeEvEryTimEEVerytimeeEVerytimeEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIMEEVERYTIME, WHY DOES IT HAS TO BE ME……….

.

.

“Gah…….”

.

.

My entire right arm snapped off my right shoulder and fell to the ground.

A tremendous amount of blood poured on the floor.

.

.

“It hurt, it hurt……….”

.

.

Drops of tears started to cloud my vision and I began to lose focus.

Still, instead of fading away just right the rest of my senses, the pain remains constant…….

It hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt.

.

.

“I didn’t want to get that girl involved…….!”

“What are you going on about! You were the one who tried to cut off my arm! …….You were the one pulling the trigger, not me. I just forced my pain on her. If anything you should thank me for not transferring the damage to your sleeping sister right.”

“…………you complete scum. Just disappear already……”

“Ah…….?”

.

.

I don’t know if it was just my eyes.

But for some reason, Hideyori-kun’s figure seems to be fading away.

Perhaps the pain is making me go crazy. 

Their voices also seem to grow even fainter.

.

.

“Y, You…..!?”

“Just disappear…..”

“DAMN C***T!!!!!!!”

.

.

After that, Hideyori-kun simply disappeared……

But more importantly, it hurt. What is happening……..

.

Now, I feel a woman approaching me.

.

.

“I’m sorry……I got you involved in this……my Gift is not all omnipotent so I can’t reattach that arm. Let alone erasing my sister’s crest…….”

“Give it back……..my arm………it hurts……….If it’s going to be this painful……….I don’t want to live anymore………”

.

.

Hideyori-kun is finally gone but why do I have to suffer like this…….?

If I have to continue living with this body, I would rather stay in the control of that fiend……

.

.

“I’m sorry……..if you truly want to die, I can give you a painless death…..”

“I will never forgive you……curse you and your sister and Juumonji-kun too……..may you live in suffering and die a lonely death.”

“…………..Ahh, I will accept that.”

“I see……then, kill me………..”

.

.

When I say that, my body also turns to light.

I felt healed by the warm light and the pain subsided.

Then, when my vision turned to darkness, Sasaki Emi disappeared…….

.

.

[Scumbag BF SIDE]

.

Once again I wake up from a dream I do not understand.

I can see Madoka sleeping next to me. She’s breathing peacefully.

Right, we all came to have a party at Mitsuki’s house……

.

.

“……….?”

.

.

………..just now, the moment I recalled Mitsuki’s name, a murderous intent suddenly rose up inside me.

Why?

I don’t understand.

Why am I always plagued by these nightmares……

.

.

“……Emi-san?”

“!? Ri, Risa-chan………? Did I wake you up?”

.

.

I apologized to Risa-chan while lowering my voice as everyone else was still asleep.

I can somehow make out from her figure that she’s got up.

.

.

“S, Sorry…… I just had a bad dream………it’s still around 4 right? Let’s go back to sleep.”

“………”

“I have had a lot of strange dreams you see…….like, they always seem so real? I don’t really understand but it was really painful…….ever since I was in elementary school, I’ve had nightmares over and over again……”

“…….Emi-san.”

“Nn?”

.

.

Risa-chan, whose voice sounded more serious than usual, called out to me.

I stared back at her, wondering what she wanted to say.

.

.

“………..”

“Eh?”

“Ah, no, it’s nothing. I was just half asleep. Let’s go back to sleep.”

.

.

Risa-chan hurriedly said that and covered herself in a blanket.

“Right” I responded doing the same before going back to sleep.

.

.

Just now, I felt like I heard Risa-chan mutter [I’m sorry].

I don’t know why she would say that so I just focus on going back to sleep

.

This time, I didn’t see any dreams and my sleep was peaceful.

———–

Author Note: If it’s Good Ending, Takeru and Misuzu wake up if it’s Bad Ending, both of them die.

The condition to trigger a good ending is whether the player reaches maximum favorability with both Mitsuki and Misuzu or not.

It’s quite difficult to reach the max favorability level for both of them so it would be tough for those who played without looking at the guide to reach a good ending.

Originally, Misuzu was supposed to die even in Good Ending in the initial scenario by Sakura Matsuri. In a way, she was already saved.

Misuzu was supposed to have her whole body ripped apart but due to how she’s a beloved character in the Scumbag BF SIDE, she was only linked with Takeru instead.

.

.

Mitsuki on the other hand has this cheat-like Gift even without training but in exchange, the activation condition was pretty limited.

Rather, I just can’t help myself giving away this kind of Gift……

.

The reason Mitsuki did not train more on the use of her Gift is that her focus was directed to removing Misuzu’s crest.

She also gave up because no matter how hard she trained, she couldn’t erase the crest with her Gift.

Sakura Matsuri likes this Gift a lot.

Also, maybe she conjured that apple because she likes them?

.

In the case of Bad Ending, Mitsuki would be in a state of mind where it wouldn’t be strange if she joins up with the Gift Hunters.

There’s no canon for now so that’s just a draft.

.

.

.

By the way, the next Emi bullying scenario will be the last one.

The first four were the result of Takeru getting with a heroine.

.

I don’t know when “The End of Sasaki Emi: E” will be out but there will definitely be one.

The concept is already done so please look forward to it.

.

.

.

AND THAT’S THE GIRL’S PARTY OVER!

Thank you for reading!

It was a lot of fun!

.

.

Next up, Hideyori the Scum will appear after a long time…….

TLN: Did you see that!?
