Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 184.1
Selection Ceremony 8 Aishe Battle Midway
“…Sister!!”
Aishe’s eyes widened in mental shock rather than the damage she had sustained, and Celeshura narrowed her eyes gently at her sister, whom she had not seen in decades.
“You… you’re alive…”
“You seem to have grown up a lot…Aishe…I can see that you’ve grown quite strong just by looking at you like this.”
“Are you really… really my sister?”
“Yes, I am.”
Celeshura took a step forward as if to close the decade that had separated them, and Aishe, too, stopped abruptly in her tracks, trying to step forward with an emotional expression on her face.
“But…[Sister], why did you interrupt me?”
Aishe also really wanted to run up to her sister and hug her. She wanted to hug her like she used to. But the time the sisters had spent apart for decades was too much for her to let her psyche falter.
The hatred towards the human nation that “caused the loss of her sister” was the root of Aishe’s power, and even if she had no personal grudge against Camille or Aria, both of whom have human blood, she was not willing to stand in the way of starting a war that would destroy the human nations, even if it meant going to war against her [precious sister]. To the point that she would even doubt her existence…
“…I heard about the situation before I came here. The child you just clashed with is the Demon King’s child, right? Now that you’re a general, aren’t you the one who is supposed to protect him?”
“I protect [Demon Nation], and I will destroy the human race to protect Demon Nation! If you really are my sister, then let’s go back to Demon Nation together! I lost my sister… Lost her… I’ll kill them all!”
“…”
Celeshura looked at her distorted sister with sorrowful eyes. Aishe, in her last memory, was not an adult, but she was not a child either.
Celeshura had followed orders just to live, and had continued to kill people on the battlefield with a hollow heart. She had no regrets about it now. But in that era, it was unforgivable to disobey the orders of the Demon King, and if she did not continue to fight, her sister would have been sent to the battlefield with the same empty heart that she had.
That was why Celeshura disappeared. She didn’t want to say that it was all for Aishe’s sake, but she still wished that without her, her sister would be able to choose a better way of life. She hoped that without her, she would be able to choose the path that would allow her to live a decent life…
“Maybe it was foolish of me to do that…”
“What are you talking about! You, [Sister] should understand what I’m talking about! The humans are bad people, that’s why I have to be stronger so that I don’t lose you again! If you are my sister, let’s go home together… let’s destroy the human race together!”
“Aishe…”
At Aishe’s words, Celeshura’s mouth twists as if she bit something bitter.
Even though they were exchanging words, their voices were not reaching each other. Was this Celeshura’s mistake in choosing the easy way out? Could this have been avoided if she had taken her sister with her when she ran away?
It was not that Celeshura had not considered fleeing with her sister. However, it was unavoidable to leave Aishe alone in the country of Demon, considering the difficulty of life on the run, especially when she was living on her own.
