[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

It's Not the Strongest Who Survive, But the One Who Survives is Strong. EP.4

Shhhhhhh

Creak! Creak!

"...Okay, this should do it."

The method I was attempting was incredibly simple. A method anyone contemplating suicide would think of.

"Ughhh... It's warm..."

Cutting my wrist, getting into the bathtub, and bleeding to death.

"Warm water is the best..."

Even in a desert, a warm bath is still a warm bath.

"Come to think of it, is this the first time? Seeing me naked."

Honestly, since I'd turned into a girl, I thought I'd feel repulsed by someone seeing me naked.

"...."

But maybe because the body was so young, I didn't feel that way at all.

"...Let's just kill myself."

I averted my gaze and picked up the cutter knife I'd found in Hoshino's room, but that's where the problem started.

At the time, I was just trying something I'd seen in movies and comics, not knowing the exact mechanics. And because my body—not Kivotos' body, but mine—was tougher than I imagined...

Slice

"Ugh! That hurts... Damn... But why isn't it bleeding?"

It took a considerable amount of time to even make a scratch, and even then, it was more like a scar than a wound.

Eventually...

Slice

"Ugh!... G-good... It's bleeding..."

Never one to give up, I changed my plan from making one deep cut to making multiple cuts to induce excessive bleeding.

"T-this should be enough."

As a result, my arm looked like someone who had been self-harming for years, and the bathtub was completely dyed red.

Ding-dong!

"Ehehe~ I'm back, Sora-chan~"

Completely forgetting it was about time for Hoshino to return.

"...But Serika, didn't you say you were going to your part-time job?"

According to the original story, she should be working at the Shibaseki Ramen shop right now, so she shouldn't be back this quickly.
