Chapter 25: Fear Amplification

Chapter 25: Fear Amplification

Her tongue, which had been bitten off, was attached cleanly, thanks to my prompt and proper treatment, and hardly any time had passed since it was severed. There would probably be no disability that would render communication difficult.

Ugh

Akane cried throughout the procedure, perhaps from the lack of time to administer anesthesia or anything else given that it was an emergency situation.

Whether her tears were from the pain of attaching her tongue or from the fact that she could not even die was not clear to me, but at least it was a certainty that she had betrayed me and had no right to shed tears.

Your tongue has been attached anyway but dont move it too much or it will tear off.

Having finished attaching her tongue, I remarked so to Akane. The one who wanted to grieve was me. Not only was I betrayed and denied by Akane but I was forced to clean up the mess.

Ngh uhh.

Akane did not respond to that, nevertheless. She simply ignored me and continued to weep silently. Not even trying to look at me.

Akane

Although she was the one who had betrayed me, I saw Akane shedding tears self-centeredly. At once, a wave of inexpressible anger began to bubble up within me.

What are you crying about? Why are you crying? You who betrayed me how many times must I be deceived, betrayed, and denied? Just how many times do you have to humiliate me!

I was seriously facing Akane and loved her. But Akane was not the same. She deceived and trampled on my feelings. The fact that she had done so made me unbelievably outraged to the point that even I myself was surprised.

I am sorry

Surely, neither my words nor my thoughts have reached Akane. As long as I left her alone, she would surely reproduce the same act again, disappointing me.

In contrast, though, Akane in front of me shook her head with tears streaming down her cheeks. Although she desperately pleaded with me with her eyes that she would never do that again, I could no longer trust her.

Save me

Yeah, Ill save you. From this trivial reality that stains and deceives you. And lets go. Just me and you the two of us. So for that very day, I have to reconstruct you into your proper form.

Right, everything was to reconfigure Akane into the proper form and bring her to the ideal world in the ideal form.

Hie

For that, I shall inflict any measures any pain, any fear on Akane.

When Akane saw the iron pliers in my hand, her expression stiffened.

It was a huge, rugged, temperatureless hunk of iron that provoked Akanes fear.

It was a tool to ensure that Akane would never commit a mistake against me again.

So this is a necessary process for that. Ill remove everything so that you dont make the same mistake again. Those teeth that bit your tongue off.

Once it was deemed superfluous, all of it would be eliminated. And by making her body remember the pain and fear that accompanied the removal, Akanes spirit would be destroyed.

Then, I would create a new Akane from nothing. The ideal Akanes spirit that I desired.
