Suici*de by Raising a Heroine - Sui*cide by Raising a Heroine chapter 196
196 – Salvation – 5
It was shortly thereafter that Olivia arrived.
He came right in front of me, looked at the three people with ecstatic expressions and at me trying to control the reaction of the soul bond, then opened his mouth with a voice that seemed to break down.
“Master… what the hell did you do? Yes?”
“You know what I’ve done?”
Tears welled up in those eyes. Olivia was almost clinging to me. It was to the point where the intent to kill that had been brewing up until just now felt like a lie.
I slowly got up. The reaction that came from the act of mixing the four souls into one was extremely intense, but in contrast, it was very short-lived. My heart, which had been pounding like it was going to explode, gradually calmed down.
Using telekinesis magic, he moved Serena, Charlotte, and Christine far away. Even if Olivia and I were to make a life-and-death decision here, the aftermath would not affect it.
The three of them obediently entrusted themselves to my magic. To be precise, he was in ecstasy and had no room to pay attention to his surroundings. I couldn’t even notice that my body was floating in the air.
Even if they only focused on Olivia like this, the three of them probably wouldn’t fight each other again.
My eyes were completely opened by the warmth and contentment I felt from the depths of my heart, as well as the joy of being reunited with my soul.
Not to mention Christine, who seemed to be experiencing a series of climaxes, and even Serena and Charlotte were trembling with their faces reddened.
I asked a sneak peek in the past, that I feel a sense of satisfaction rushing in as if I were right next to you, hugging you and hugging your whole body. I just thought it was like that and moved on.
“Isn’t it, Master? Are you trying to make fun of me? There’s no way Master would do that. There’s no way he’ll connect with other bugs besides me… Yes? Please say that, Master…”
Olivia tried to reach out to me with a pitiful look on her face, but eventually burst into tears. Transparent water droplets that had formed around the eyes trickled down.
Olivia, who had been crying out loud and frozen in place for a while, stopped crying shortly after and looked behind me with her eyes stained with hatred.
It was the place where Serena, Charlotte, and Christine were.
“……Master. It’s okay. I know. It’s all because of those bugs that Master is like this. Master loves me, but it’s simply because those bugs blinded his eyes. Master was enchanted. I’m healed. I’ll do it. I can fix it. You can love me again. Master, are you in pain too? Are you in pain because you can’t love me? It’s okay. I’ll heal you.”
The intent to kill was welling up in those eyes. Black mana flowed out of his whole body. Correspondingly, I raised my mana.
“I’m perfectly normal, Olivia. You’re the one who’s abnormal.”
“You don’t have to lie, Master. I know you want to reassure me, but you don’t have to. I already know. Master’s condition and how to deal with it. I know everything.”
Even with things going this far, Olivia’s target was still not me, but the three people behind me.
Did you have that kind of faith because you went crazy, or did you go crazy because you had that kind of faith? There was no way I could know what was the cause and what was the effect.
“Olivia. I’ll tell you one last time, so listen carefully.”
Wings made of divine power formed behind his back, emitting white light. This time, blue mana was not mixed, so it was not a soft light blue color, but a pure white light.
“It’s entirely your fault that this happened between us.”
“…”
“I’ve done that a few times. That I could have accepted your heart. If you had only invited me to shut up in the mountains and build a cabin for the two of us, I would have gladly done it. But that wasn’t the case. It was you, Olivia.”
It was. In the past, I was willing to fully accept Olivia’s level of love, even if it was a bit excessive. Wasn’t it a body that couldn’t die anyway?
At that time, Olivia had already overcame the lifespan problem on her own through repeated research, so if not immortality, she had attained the degree of immortality.
In other words, it meant that he was almost the only person who could live the same time as me. That’s why there was nothing wrong with me accepting love.
Olivia’s looks and body were at a level where she would not bow at all no matter where she went. It was only natural that her heart would be fluttered if such a beauty told her that she would love her forever and that the two of them should live together.
Even if it was an invitation to stay in a small cabin deep in the mountains for the rest of my life.
Although Olivia showed some obsession with me, I underestimated Olivia’s madness. I just knew that her jealousy was a bit severe, and her obsession was a bit severe.
that was my mistake An underestimation of Olivia’s feelings. Olivia was not at all content with nodding her head in agreement.
It wasn’t just about living together in the mountains, I was invited to kill everyone I knew and cut off from the world and live in my own world.
It didn’t stop at just recommendations.
“Even if you didn’t cut off Helena’s hair and brought it back as a wedding present, even if you didn’t annihilate your fellow wizards in the Mage Tower, and even if you didn’t try to annihilate all other humans to leave only you and me in this world… we could have been fine. I’m sure.”
As soon as I rejected her invitation, Olivia went berserk and slaughtered all the wizards in the Mage Tower, then tore off Helena’s head and brought it to me.
Next to him was Helena, floating there, screaming in pain from having her entrails ripped out. Or Helena floating alive, screaming in pain as her skin peels off.
“It was all because I loved Master. Master said he loved me too. He said he could love me forever. But he didn’t follow my advice. Master loves me, but he listened to me. If you didn’t give it to me, the answer is obvious, isn’t it? The people around Master blown wind in. He told me not to go with me. Master loved me, so he wanted to follow me, but those things that would be okay to tear to death must have touched Master. It’s obvious. For Master, and for me. You’ll notice, right?”
All of them heard pleas that were nothing more than self-justification. It was a desperate voice, but my heart didn’t move.
“It was my will, Olivia. It was my will, not the others’.”
“No. It’s not Master’s fault. I know everything. Because Master and I are in love! As much as I care for Master, Master should be for me, but you didn’t. Clearly, you deeply love me in your true heart. But that means that the trash that clings to Master is a problem! Master, come with me. Yes? Just kill those things and live with me.”
Olivia’s mind was still extremely twisted. Because all my words and actions, of course, were flowing under the premise that I loved myself.
I love Olivia as much as Olivia loves me. In there, this prerequisite was not a belief, but rather an unshakable truth. To the level of truth that can’t even have a single point of doubt.
No matter what I say, no matter what I do. This was the reason why it was twisted and accepted as a lie under the name of love.
“…Yes. Then there’s nothing you can do about it.”
He let out a deep sigh. I hadn’t expected from the beginning that Olivia would come to her senses after a few words anyway. If I had been able to do that, I would have come back to my senses a long time ago.
Pure white wings fluttered vigorously behind his back. Feathers made of divine power fluttered. He aimed his greatsword and calmly spoke to Olivia.
“When we were at the Magic Tower, we did a philosophical study together. Do you remember, Olivia?”
“A study on the continuity of memory? Of course I remember. There’s no way I’ll forget what happened with Master.”
“What was our final conclusion?”
“There is no reason not to be treated as the same person, as long as the continuity of memory is maintained and there is no other cloned object,” he said.
“Right. I remember it well.”
I put mana on my body and used body enhancement. Blue mana fluttered on the blade. The wind flow gradually began to slow down.
“So, I’m going to kill you.”
At my words, Olivia blinked for a moment. It looked like he didn’t understand what I just said.
The confusion did not last long. Olivia immediately met my eyes with a bright smile like a flower in full bloom.
“You’re killing me? Master, is that true? You’re really killing me? Did you finally confess that you love me? Right? Kyaaa, what should I do!”
Olivia smiled and spread her arms toward me.
“I knew you would. Did you shake it off? Does Master love me now? Are you finally able to express that great love? I believed that Master would do it. No matter what those bugs do, I I believed that you would overcome it with love for !”
“No, you did. As long as the continuity of memories is maintained, there is no reason not to be treated as the same person.”
It was a study that was only theoretical to the end, but at least in the current situation, it was worth employing.
In a situation like now, where all Olivias in other timelines have died, the Olivia in front of me has become the only Olivia.
“It’s ‘you’ I’m trying to kill, not Olivia.”
And, in a situation where there was only one more Olivia left that even Olivia in front of her could not do anything to maintain the continuity of her memories.
“Ah, I need to correct one thing. Come to think of it, what I’m going to do from now on seems far from killing you.”
My purpose was not to kill Olivia to fix our relationship.
“Let’s set it to ‘overwrite’.”
