[Lobotomy] Why am I an Abnormality?

Fa?ir - 25

Misono Mika's face contorted in pain the moment she woke up.

She guessed that the woman in front of her was the one inflicting this on her. Even though the continuous torment, which felt like torture, was enough to make her lose her mind, this level of pain was nothing new to her now.

 

It just irritated her.

After losing her precious friends, she hadn't clung to life much, which made her somewhat numb to her own pain.

 

However, the pain that seemed to wear down her spirit was something Misono Mika had never experienced before. Initially, it was just irritation, but as time passed, fear crept in.

 

She felt like she was seeing hallucinations of her friends dying before her eyes.

Ever since that incident, she had always been in pain. She wished it were all a lie. She prayed countless times for them to return.

But nothing came true.

The act inflicted upon her in that short, albeit fleeting, time was enough to infuriate her.

 

The woman who had done this to her casually turned to leave the room, as if her pain meant nothing.

 

Click.

"Ahaha-...☆ You know, I'm not the type to just take it."

Perhaps Misono Mika needed an outlet for her anger. In a world where her friends and those she cursed were all gone, who could she unleash her resentment upon?

Her emotions remained tangled like a ball of yarn, unable to unravel. Well, she felt like she had met someone around that time, but was that important now?

The woman in front of Mika must have heard the sound of her gun loading because she started to pull out a strange-looking weapon.

"Aren't you a little slow to react?"

Mika wasn't one to just stand there and watch.

"Benedictio."

She neatly subdued her with the mystically charged gun...

"Huh...?"

She watched as the severed wrist flew past her. Beings without halos were much weaker than Misono Mika had thought.

Unlike those from Kivotos, they didn't seem as resilient. Yes, if she just shot them in the head a few times...

"I can't wear down your spirit like you did to me, but I can inflict other kinds of pain. I suffered, so it's only fair that you suffer too, right?"

This wasn't the first time she had seen beings without halos. Yes, when she was wandering aimlessly, Misono Mika had met other beings without halos. At the time, she thought they were just hallucinations, mirages born from her madness.

Now she knew they were real. Not that it made much difference now.

She wouldn't just take it anymore. In fact, it was better to deal harshly with anyone who posed a threat to her and those around her, even if it was excessive.

"Right, Nagi-chan...?"

She asked her friend who was no longer there. Even if she were here, she would have surely denied this, but now there was no one beside Misono Mika to correct her. She just thought and answered herself. Even if it was the wrong answer.

For a moment, even as she was lost in her memories, the woman was desperately trying to radio for help. She held her bleeding wrist, now severed, with one hand, moving her lips to relay something to her supposed comrades.

"Even someone who caused me so much pain has comrades."

Unfair. It's unfair. It's all unfair.
