143. The Wicked Woman and Menhera (1)
143. The villainess and Menhera (1)
I had too much of a hand in other people’s fates.
The result of erasing inevitability.
The old woman was talking as if she completely understood my situation.
‘… Who on earth is this person? I’ve never seen it in the original either.’
She introduced herself as an ordinary old person who only had unusual powers.
Even though she didn’t tell me that I was dying, she seemed to know something about my death.
Out of curiosity, I opened my mouth and asked the old woman.
“How on earth do you know about my death?”
“It just seems like I have a unique ability… The fact that you have had a hand in many fates… Things that should flow naturally… I ruined everything… “
The old woman answered in a trembling voice typical of old people.
He was wearing a hood, so his expression was not visible.
However, it was clearly visible in her eyes that she was having a hard time.
‘It would be better to change seats. And, there… ‘
I need to find out exactly what he meant when he said that to me.
I think he knows something about my mysterious death.
I can’t tell if the rope is rotten or not, but it might be aware of my death, right?
A feeling of desperation.
I said, gently holding the old woman’s wrinkled hand.
“How about moving to a quiet place? “If there’s anything you want to eat, I’ll provide it to you.”
“I will treat you well… Is that the sound… ?”
“Yes, I will treat you to anything you want. “If only you would tell me about my death.”
“Then…” “
The old woman nodded and answered my suggestion.
“At a restaurant nearby… Can you buy me some food? ?”
“When it comes to restaurants, do you mean ‘depth’?”
“You could say so… “
It is a restaurant with a lot of depth, but it is quite expensive…
It doesn’t matter as long as you know about my death.
I nodded to the old woman’s request.

“Yes, of course. Let’s go.”
“What a kind young man… “
Meanwhile.
Yuri, who was crunching into a piece of fruit, whispered from behind.
“I, I am a fruit… This old lady whose name I don’t know is a restaurant… It can’t be helped… ? Me, I’m trash enough with this… Because Damian’s tastes may be like that… “
“No, Yuri. That’s not right.”
“It’s okay Damien…” Damian could be like that… Me, I… After I got a lot older, Damian… I’ll come find it… Because it’s my fault for not being old… “
“… “
While heading to Depth.
I had to work hard to explain to her to clear up her misunderstanding.
It was not easy to persuade someone with strange convictions.

Unlike her shabby clothes, the old woman liked luxurious food.
“I would like you to add a tenderloin part of the steak… “
“… “Yes, of course.”
I didn’t expect to spend this much money.
I didn’t bring a lot of money, so I felt like I could see the bottom of my wallet.
Even though the old woman was not the only one eating the food.
“This is delicious, Damien…” Damien wants to mug too… ?”
“No, it’s okay, Yuri. “I’m full.”
“I know, Damian… Well, if you still need it, let me know… ! I’ll feed you… !”
Did my mouth water when I saw the old woman eating high-quality food?
Yuri was also eating with the old woman.
When you feel like your stomach is full.
I cleared my voice and opened my mouth.
“Hmm, that’s right. “Now, I would like you to talk a little bit.”
Clatter-
Hearing that voice, the old woman put down the dishes and wiped her lips with a tissue.
“Okay… We’ll have to talk… Bachelor… Let me ask you one thing… Do you know how much you have changed people’s fates so far? ?”
“Hmm… “
I am the one who changed fate.
If you think about it simply, it’s the food inhaler next to me.
I patted Yuri’s head as she happily ate it.
“For now, just one person.”
“Ugh… ?”
After that, there will be Nadia, Bluebell, and Charlotte.
I confidently spread my fingers and answered.
“I changed the fate of a total of four people.”
When the old woman heard my answer, she let out a bizarre laugh that could only be heard in nightmares.
“Keu, keuhheehee…” !! 4 People… ? You… Your actions… You’re so underestimating… “
The old woman continued speaking while wiping the drool that had flowed.
“Bachelor… I have special powers… The family power that only nobles have… Do you know… ? Commoners also have their own families… The fact that there is still a family that continues… “
“I heard that in the olden days, all the commoners with family power died… “
“The nobles reduced their numbers so they could keep it to themselves… Still, people with powers like mine were able to hide… Because you can see the thread of other people’s fate… “
Thread of fate.
The old woman then explained her abilities.
She said she could see people, and she could look inside them.
What is inside is fate.
He said that you can meet someone else and see the thread of fate that becomes entangled.
“Twisted fate brings misfortune… Untangled fate brings happiness… However, the bachelor’s fate… It is terribly intertwined with other fates… It was a fate that should not have involved you with the woman next to you… “
“W-What…?” ?”
Boom!!
Hearing the old woman’s words, Yuri put down the dishes.
“N-don’t say that I’m old… ! Well, me and Damien were destined to meet… ! Well, what fills my heart is… There’s only Damian… !”
“That’s why it’s a problem… Your heart should always be empty… It shouldn’t have been filled from the beginning… “
Because fate was decided that way.
Because I went against the flow of fate that should not be rejected.
“It’s natural for tangled strings to break in the end… The bachelor… I was forced to tie the thread of fate with another person… Many people escaped their fate because of him… It’s outside of heaven’s will… The responsibility for this must be borne by the bachelor… “
“Then, the future where I die. Destiny… “
“I can’t change it… You changed the fate of so many people… It’s only right to take responsibility for that… “
“… “
I changed the content of the original work to survive.
But, ironically, the actions I took to survive were strangling me.
“What should I do now?”
Once the time-limited diagnosis was stamped on my head.
I felt like my hair had turned white.
***
Yuri couldn’t understand.
Why does Damian have to die?
Because I changed my fate?
I changed that fate and I was able to live?
Who is holding Damian accountable?
“People… Except for Damian… Other people are the problem… “
Yuri crouched in the dark room and muttered.
“The person who punishes Damian… Three, there’s something wrong with the world… “
Damian did nothing wrong.
There is nothing wrong.
Everything is everything…
“Huh… It’s the world’s fault… ”
In the dark room without her lights on, Yuri mumbled and wiped away her tears.
It took her a long time because she was getting off without stopping.

If I die anyway.
What should I do?
Should I go to the academy, take the test, and get 100 points?
‘If you die, you don’t need grades.’
There is no need to do this.
Then, should we live by trying things we have never tried before?
‘But, you’re going to die anyway, right?’
No matter how hard you try, you won’t get anything.
I’m going to die anyway.
“Life is so meaningless… “
Sweet-
I crumpled up the bucket list I had written and put it in the trash can.
Before I heard the old woman’s words, I had at least some hope.
Now all hope has disappeared.
I think I would have felt better if I didn’t know.
“I feel like Bluebell… I’m blue… “
Is this what Bluebell felt like?
She understood it in her head.
Because I didn’t really know what depression felt like.
But now I think I can understand it with my heart.
“The dog is depressed. “I want to die right now.”
Someone else will kill me anyway.
Wouldn’t it be better for me to decide my death rather than someone else deciding my death?
My head was spinning, and a depressing feeling was blooming in my heart.
I keep wanting to do extreme things.
Still, I lose motivation easily and don’t want to do anything.
“Ugh… Driving me crazy… “
Fussuk-
I jumped into bed in depression.
Then, I covered my head with the blanket and curled up.
Wiggle Wiggle-
I feel like a caterpillar.
“This is much better.”
Boom!!
However, the sound of a door opening disturbs me.
At the same time, the blanket I was covering flew into the sky.
“What are you doing, you crazy bastard!!”
“Oh, it’s a bluebell… Come on… “
“What are you doing, Damian? Why are you copying me? “Are you kidding me?!”
“No, just…” I feel like I know how you feel again… “
“Wh, what is it? Is he really crazy? Wake!”
Bluebell tried to wake me up by rocking me back and forth.
I felt like I was going to throw up before that.
“Wow-“
When I covered her mouth, Bluebell stopped acting.
“Well, what is it? Are you going to throw up over this much? “You’re weak, Damien.”
“You made me sick… It’s my fault… ?”
“I don’t know! Noisy! Damian than that. What’s wrong with you? “Why are you doing that?”
Bluebell looked more worried than usual.
It seemed serious, perhaps because it was the first time I had seen something like this.
I told Bluebell what happened today to explain the situation.
When Bluebell heard that, she hit the back of my head.
“Crazy bastard.”
“Ahh! “I’m depressed, why are you hitting me?”
“Hey, Damian. That’s what the senile old woman said. “How is it different from what I said?”
“You now know the clear reason why I die… They say it can’t be changed… “
“I’m so annoyed, I’m dying? Why don’t you listen to me, and why do you believe the words of an old old woman you’ve never seen before? “You said you could change it.”
So.
“Like you told me before. Don’t just sit still, try something. Are you going to die by staying still like an idiot? “I have to do something.”
“… “Bluebell.”
“Huh?”
“Do you look cool today?”
I got out of bed right away.
I couldn’t teach you much when I was a tutor.
Seeing Bluebell grow so big makes her feel proud.
“Okay, let’s try something. “I can’t die quietly like you said.”
I decided to stand up and do something like Bluebell said.
“So what shall we do, Bluebell?”
“The emotional ups and downs are amazing. “I have something more in mind than that. Would you like to try it, Damian?”
“What did you think? What is that?”
“s*x.”
“… “
For a moment, my thinking stopped.
“… What, Bluebell?”
“Se, how about having s*x?”
“… “
My frozen thoughts persist even after a long time.
I had no intention of coming back.
What are you talking about?
