At this moment, Kurumi felt as if the entire world in front of her eyes was spinning. Being a smart girl, it was because of this that she understood the meaning behind Mio Suginomiya's words almost instantly.
The Flame Sprite she had defeated earlier was her dear friend Sawa, and she... she had killed her with her own hands!
Not only that, aside from her classmate Sawa, the over fifty elves that she had defeated and eradicated while acting alongside Mio Suginomiya... they had all once been... human!!
"Uh...!!"
Her stomach began to spasm, and her heart beat fiercely as Kurumi staggered backward and fell to the ground. She clutched her mouth tightly with both hands, at a loss for what to do.
"Ah... AHHHHHH!!"
Kurumi could feel a pitch-black, terrifying emotion gradually eroding her heart, as if her entire being was turning inside out.
"...Chronos... Fourth Bullet!"
