CH 5.32

「W-why……」

Sugita gazes in dismay at the hand that has grown out of his stomach.

Normally, he would have died instantly but it was probably the result of being eroded by variant’s cells.

He was bleeding less than a normal human and was still breathing.

「Have I given you the satisfaction you wanted?」

The nurse pulled his arm out of Sugita’s stomach and went to Susanoo’s body.

「That magic power……Kagutsuchi….so it was all your scheme! The barrier must be yours too!」

Susanoo’s body moved and kicked.

However, it is undeniable that he lacks magic power.

The nurse called Kagutsuchi produced flames from his hand and caught Susanoo’s kick and in an instant, Susanoo’s body burned up.

Even though it was far from the head, it was still quite a firepower to burn Susanoo’s body in an instant.

「I’ve been struggling to find a way to bring you down. I couldn’t do it with my own power after all. I’m glad that the seeds I’ve been sowing have come into fruition.」

He made a nasty smile.

-0-

I see….

The reason why me and Susanoo fought was all a ploy of this guy.

I can tell from the way he talks that he was doing a lot of other things as well.

I guess this one was a hit.

He got me.

-0-

I’d like to kill him right away but I don’t know what he’s going to do and I need to get some information first.

Susanoo now understands that I didn’t distribute the drugs. I don’t think he will attack me.

However, that doesn’t mean I’m considering him as an ally.

As for Sugita, I’m unsure if he’s a friend or a foe but he had no strength left to fight.

「You want the position so bad!」

Kagutsuchi smiled at the outraged Susanoo.

「There’s also that but I just didn’t like you. More than anything else, I wanted to see that frustrated look on your face. I don’t care if you’re Himiko-sama’s favorite or if you’re the strongest melee fighter but you’re just a selfish scumbag! However, how can you hide tasty looking girls! 」

I’m beginning to see the relationship between the two of them.

So, this Kagutsuchi has been working for it for a long time.

To defeat Susanoo.

「And you, Sugita-kun. Oi, are you still alive? Please listen to me properly. The only thing I look forward to aside from eating you is telling you the truth.」

Lifting Sugita’s head, who was lying breathless, Kagutsuchi smiled his ugliest smile yet.

「Ug….aahhh….」

Kagutsuchi spoke to the moaning in pain Sugita.

「The one who ate your girlfriend, it was me desu yo」

「y…..ou….!」

Sugita’s face contorts in anger but he can’t even move a finger.

「It was quite enjoyable to watch you as I slowly overwrite your memories of her even though you think you “remember” her. Human memory is something tricky, right? Just by naturally mixing it into our daily conversation, you thought you saw a pocket watch. You even started distributing drugs from the hospital you’re working for. You believe me when I lied about using it to lure your adversary out. Kukuku…. You also accepted the cell transplant just to defeat your adversary, Susanoo. Of course, I’ve kept an eye on you all the time. Hahahaha!」

This guy has some nasty taste.

「And you. You’re strong, very strong. I had planned to hunt down Susanoo after he defeated you but I never expected you to cause this much damage. I was right to include you in my plan. I can’t believe I’ll be able to get rid of Susanoo unharmed.」

So, everything’s under his control.

In other words, this guy was the one who messed up with Yui.

He put her under a spell and kept her in the dark kagura hall alone.

In order to make Susanoo and me fight.

-0-

I had a feeling that something good would happen if I let Susanoo live.

However, this Kagutsuchi is different.

It’s too dangerous to keep him alive.

I will kill him right here, right now.
