Chapter 114

"L/N!" Atsushi shouted.

My glasses flew off my face.

My eyes were wide.

Holy fuck..

"I'm gonna die.." I muttered.

"This is my fault." I heard Sigma say.

He was falling beside me, I looked at him.

"If I had just let go sooner, you would have lived. I'm so sorry."

"I-it's fine. You didn't know I would fall." I looked up, "Besides, I really deserve death."

"Huh?"

"I betrayed the Agency.. And I failed him."

"Failed who?"

"...Chuuya."

"What?"

"You're the last person I'm speaking to anyway, and I'm the last person you're speaking to. We might as well let things off our chest, right?"

"..Right."

"Chuuya and I were gonna get married and have a kid.. I got a miscarriage and we got into a huge argument. The night we argued, we both apologized and he wanted to talk about it in the morning.. But that's when it hit me that night."

"W-what did?"

"The page. The Agency was ruined because of it. If I went with the Agency to restore it, they're most likely going to be led to the page."

"H-huh?"

"If I got the page's location, I'd finally have it and write down an entire scenario for me to get the book itself. Not just the page. I could have the whole book through writing in just one page."

"That.. could possibly work."

"And if I got the entire book, I'd write my own ideal world."

Sigma looked back at the sky with me, "What was going to be your ideal world?"

"..I was going to make the Agency happy and innocent, as well as never having to face huge incidents ever again. I was planning to make sure the Mafia was safe and that everyone was enjoying their lives.. I would write down that my family, would forget me completely.. And best of all, I was going to make my father an excruciating death." I smiled as I thought of it. My smile then faded, "And whenever all of that was written and set in stone, I was planning to kill myself."

Sigma's eyes widened and he looked at me, "Kill yourself?"

"I had no meaning in this life. I never did."

"...Yeah. I know what you mean. But what was going to happen to your fiance?"

"Oh.. write that he would find another woman. One that would fit into everything he wanted. I'd make him forget about me too.. I was going to make everyone forget I even existed."

"...You're selfless."

"I'm what?" I looked at him.

"Selfless. Instead of ending your life and leaving everyone else to grief, you were going to write a more beneficial life you think they'd prefer and then end yourself."

"Oh.. thanks. What about you then?"

"The Sky Casino was everything to me. Without it, I'm nothing. Once you lose everything you valued.."

"You feel as if you have no meaning." I finished his sentence.

"Yeah.."

Seems like we relate to each other.

"It's a shame my plan went to shit. I was going to improve that tacky casino." I told him.

"H-huh?!" He looked at me.

"Compared to the one I was gonna write for you, what you lost was nothing. That small casino? I was going to make you a gigantic one. It'd be like another level of heaven in your eyes."

He smiled, "You're too kind."

I looked up, "Not really."

My eyes widened whenever I realized something.

We're close to the bottom..

The sun was setting, I saw a beautiful view of Yokohama.

"This is it.." I mumbled.

"Where it all ends."

I felt my eyes water.

Goodbye, Chuuya..

I suddenly noticed someone at the edge of a cliff.

What the..

"Time for a little resurrection magic!" Nikolai Gogol looked up at us with one hand on his hat.
