Cherreads

Chapter 56 - ch 56

"Don't!"

"Don't look at me with that kind of gaze again!"

Shimizu said, growing increasingly enraged.

His gaze frantically searched, then settled on a bunny-eared girl.

This bunny-eared girl was the one who had grabbed him, so Shimizu naturally had a very deep impression of her.

"You! That... bunny-eared one!"

Shea was stunned, her expression saying, "Are you looking for me?"

"You! You quickly go and kill Hiyama! I know you have the strength to do it!"

Upon hearing this, Shea immediately showed an expression as if looking at a mentally challenged child.

It must be said that being stared at by this silly rabbit Shea with such an expression of looking at a mentally challenged child can easily cause a huge psychological blow to a person.

Shimizu couldn't take it anymore.

His mouth opened and closed, his face gradually turned red, then green, and finally pale.

"Each and every one of you...."

"Each and every one of you looks at me with that kind of gaze, all of you look down on me!"

Shimizu's expression became increasingly frantic, making it seem unsurprising if he were to stab the poisoned needle into Aiko's body at any moment!

"Aiko... Aiko!"

At this moment, the most anxious person was none other than Kaori, because the origin of all this could be said to be her fault!

It was she who had stopped Hiyama from killing Shimizu, which was why this situation occurred.

"What should we do, Hiyama-kun? What should we do?"

Kaori, at her wit's end, could only turn her pleading gaze towards Hiyama.

"I just promised you that I wouldn't kill Shimizu Yukitoshi."

"Did you forget?"

Hiyama spread his hands, looking like he couldn't help.

"How could this be...."

Kaori's face instantly turned pale.

Previously, Hiyama, because of her, had said he wouldn't harm Shimizu.

Hiyama was not someone who would easily go back on his word; since he had said it, he would definitely abide by it!

Kaori felt immense regret in her heart, wondering why she had asked Hiyama to make such a promise back then.

If Aiko were to be killed by Shimizu like this, it could be said that she was indirectly the culprit!

But without Hiyama's help, what could she do on her own?

Kaori instantly fell into deep despair.

"Don't you want to see Aiko killed?"

Hiyama whispered in her ear.

"Then! Of course...."

Hope rekindled in Kaori's eyes; Hiyama hadn't given up on her!

But the next second, the expression on her face instantly froze.

Her right hand touched something cold.

Kaori looked down; it was something that would only appear in the modern world—a gun, a silver-white gun.

Midnight update, didn't expect it, huh?

Chapter 79: Murder? [Don't skip this chapter]

"Do you want to save Aiko? Then hold this gun."

Hiyama put his arm around her shoulder, looking like a pair of intimate lovers whispering, but unfortunately, the content of their conversation was incredibly bloody.

It was chilling.

The intimate gesture between them concealed the existence of 'white ivory'.

Hiyama then spoke into Kaori's ear, like a demon's whisper:

"Don't worry, I'll help you aim, guaranteeing it will hit his head and won't hurt Aiko...."

"But the trigger needs you to pull it."

"Did you... hear clearly?"

Hiyama's tone became somewhat chilling.

"I... I can't do it...."

Kaori was trembling all over; if Hiyama hadn't been holding her, she would have collapsed to the ground by now.

"Did you see?"

"You now have two choices."

"One is to let go of... this gun, abandon Aiko, and then pray that those useless knights and useless classmates can save her."

"But my advice to you is to prepare a dignified funeral for Aiko in advance and pray that she can go to heaven; that would be more realistic...."

"The second choice you also know very well—"

"Hold this gun, raise it, and then pull the trigger."

"Bang! Blow that kid's head open."

"It's alright, everyone's alright; isn't this what you hoped for most? Truly congratulations, congratulations...."

Hiyama said softly with a smile.

As Kaori listened to Hiyama's words, her face grew paler and paler, and she was drenched in cold sweat.

If it were someone else, they would probably rush over to ask about her physical condition.

But unfortunately, beside her was a 'demon' who had no understanding of cherishing women.

The 'demon' continued, "You don't have much time; that kid will soon notice the situation here."

As if to verify his words, Shimizu looked over at them and said excitedly, "What are you doing!"

"Damn it! Why are even you, Kaori, involved with him!"

Shimizu's eyes shot out flames of jealousy, his expression becoming increasingly agitated and frantic, once on the verge of losing control.

"Shimizu-kun... no..."

Seeing him so frantic, Aiko cried out.

In Kaori's mind, she couldn't think of anything else; Hiyama's "two choices" kept swirling.

And just then, Aiko's voice suddenly entered her ears....

She felt as if something had snapped in her mind.

Subconsciously, she raised her hand and pulled the trigger....

"Bang!"

A golden bullet, propelled by the powerful thrust of gunpowder exploding from flint grinding, shot out!

In Shimizu's utterly terrified eyes, it accurately hit his head!

"Splat!"

Shimizu Yukitoshi's head, under the powerful kinetic energy brought by the bullet, burst open like a watermelon!

Blood splattered all over Aiko's face, who was standing nearby.

Shimizu was instantly deprived of life, his body falling straight down.

"Ah.... Ah... Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Aiko froze like a puppet for a moment, then she realized what had happened and immediately screamed.

Not just her, no one could have imagined things turning out this way; everyone present's minds went blank!

That... 'Goddess of Healing' Shirazaki Kaori actually killed someone! How is this possible? Someone tell me this isn't a dream!

Clap... clap... clap.

A crisp applause sounded.

"Congratulations, you beautifully completed your first murder in life."

Hiyama clapped with a smile.

"I... killed someone?"

Kaori was stiff all over, like a puppet with broken joints.

She turned her head and looked at Hiyama blankly.

"A very beautiful shot; I didn't even know you had such talent."

At the last moment, Kaori herself raised 'white ivory' and, with an incredibly precise shot, hit Shimizu's head.

He didn't even need to use his aiming assistance.

To call it 'talent' is not an exaggeration at all.

"Ugh!"

Kaori suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her stomach and immediately squatted down, dry heaving.

"Kaori, are you alright!"

Shizuku, seeing this scene, rushed over and supported her shoulders.

"Shizuku-chan...."

"...I killed someone... and it was a classmate...."

"Hehe... hehe."

Kaori's face was ashen white, and her eyes were lifeless as she looked at Shizuku, muttering fragmented words, occasionally interspersed with meaningless laughter.

The psychological impact of her first murder was too great; Shirazaki Kaori's psyche was on the verge of collapse.

Shizuku was anxious, but she had no way to help and didn't know what to say to comfort Kaori.

"Did I break her?"

Hiyama frowned beside her.

Was the medicine too strong, and she broke so easily?

That would be a shame; if she's broken, she's useless.

Just as Hiyama was considering whether to discard her...

"It's just killing someone; is it really worth making such a fuss?"

Beside them, the blonde Vampire Princess said coldly.

"What?"

Kaori subconsciously turned her gaze to Yue, her pupils refocusing, and she said blankly, "What did you say?"

"I said you've been pampered too much; it's just killing someone, is it really such a big deal?"

Yue's eyes were full of disdain.

Kaori's current appearance not only didn't make Yue feel pity but instead aroused her disgust.

"It's no big deal!"

"But that's murder!"

"And... and he was my classmate!"

Kaori cried out in despair.

Her hands were already stained with blood; she was already a murderer!

"So what if it's murder?"

"If it's for Darling, even if he tells me to kill everyone in the world, I wouldn't bat an eyelid!"

Yue had an angelic face, but the words she spoke were enough to make everyone in the world tremble with fear.

"What did you say...?"

"Why... why can you be so...?"

Kaori looked at her as if she wanted to engrave her image deeply into her mind.

Yue's ruby-like, crystal-clear pupils showed no wavering as she stared directly at Kaori.

"So that's how it is... no, because it's like this, that's why you can stay by his side, huh...?"

"So, as long as I become like you...."

Kaori said, stunned, not knowing what she had realized.

"Kaori... are you really alright?"

Shizuku's eyes widened as she looked at this person from 4.
