Chapter 19: Abhorrence and Powerlessness

Chapter 19: Abhorrence and Powerlessness

How do you like your new body, Akane? There may be inconveniences for now, but soon

Once the wounds jointed by bolts healed, the pain would be relieved to some extent. Akane, though, seemed unconvinced. That was not what Akane was directing her frustration at. Perhaps even her tears had already been exhausted, and she had become like a machine that only opened its eyes vacantly and sobbed frequently.

Why this kind of thing, why

Sigh, I told you I dont like saying the same thing over andiover again. I, toward you

I wanted to preserve beautiful things in all their full glory. Wasnt that the natural psychology of a human being? Nonetheless, Akane did not try to grasp this. As if she did not understand how valuable her own beauty was as a form of art.

No more no, no, no! Father, Mother!

Uncharacteristically, Akane threw a tantrum. The only thing she could move of her own volition was her torso and neck. The puppets limbs only creaked and squeaked hollowly from their spherical joints.

What is there to lament? You may be a work in progress, but you have thus taken the first step toward eternal beauty, you know?

Without any strength in her limbs, Akane was unable to even get up on her own. Indeed, she was powerless.

Unforgivable I wont ever forgive you!

You dont have to forgive nor do I have to be forgiven. All you need to do is to preserve your beautiful appearance and stay by my side. As long as you are beautiful, I swear to protect you.

Neither power nor freedom was required of her.

Just fascinate me with your beauty, perpetually.
