Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 185.4
In Celeshura’s prime, Aishe would not have won.
If Aishe’s mind was sane, she might have won without relying on chance.
In the original “history of Otome games,” Celeshura and Aishe could have cooperated with the heroine and fought together to make peace with the Demons.
There was no point in describing a future that could not have happened. The result was all that matters now…but Celeshura, like Aria, had a “power” that she did not have originally possessed.
“…[Iron Rose]…”
A particle of magical light gushed out from Celeshura, who was kneeling on the stone floor, and as soon as her figure faded away, Aishe’s sword, which he had lifted as quickly as he could, sliced through her body.
“Nah…”
Aishe staggered back, stunned with her broken one-handed sword in her hand.
Celeshura, who did not have the [peach blonde] that was loved by the spirits like Aria, the original wielder, consumed almost all of her magical power in just a few seconds and fell to her knees again.
“Aishe….”
“Sis…ter?”
Celeshura’s voice brings a slight bit of reason back into Aishe’s eyes. However, the mental damage was greater than the physical damage, and Aishe staggered as if dizzy…
“Uuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Aishe suddenly let out a cry and raised her broken sword.
Whether she was still trying to fight, or whether she regretted what she had done and short-circuited herself to commit suicide, she could not be sure.
But just before the raised sword was about to swing down somewhere–!
Boom!
“—-!”
Aishe’s body was hit by Nero’s body and was swallowed by a deep hole in the dungeon’s side passage…an intricate passageway, and her body fell into the darkness.
[…Nero]
[Gaah].
Nero didn’t reply to Celeshura’s glaring gaze with “words,” but only growled once.
Did he do it to get rid of Aria’s enemies, or was he trying to save Celeshura?
“…”
Though wounded, Aishe might still be alive. Sighing, Celeshura gulped down a potion from [Shadow Storage] and forced herself to stand up.
“…I will be useless even if I meet up with that girl in this state…”
–Question–
Nero’s tentacles charge and ask [what they are going to do now], and Celeshura looked back over her shoulder at Camille and the others, who keep their distance as if to caution themselves.
“I’m going to follow them to the far end of the dungeon. Because I think that’s the way I’ll be able to see her. …Do you want to look for her on your own?”
[Gururu…]
Nero gently squints his eyes and looked at Celeshura and Camille.
Nero and Celeshura were companions, not friends. But Nero, as if to say, “Leave it to me,” bared his fangs and disappeared into the darkness at the speed of a gust of wind.
Celeshura looked away and for a moment looked back at the hole where Aishe had fallen, then let out another sigh and softly muttered the words he had not said to Nero.
“I’ll take care of the other ‘stupid girl’…Nero.”
