[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

(Side Story) Arius's Suicide Seeker (3) EP.58

'What's wrong with her?'

Misaki's been acting weird since a while ago.

She suddenly came into my room and stared at me, and frowned every time I cut my wrists. It was a reaction I couldn't imagine from the usual Misaki.

Could it be that she doesn't like me self-harming?

'...Nah, that can't be it.'

That's definitely not it.

These days, I've only been meeting with the eyeball monster, but there was a time when she and I tried to commit suicide together every day. There's no way she would dislike my self-harm.

'She even taught me this method of self-harm.'

She taught me in detail how to cut, and where the blood flows well, so there must be something else she doesn't like.

'...Ah, could it be that she's upset because I'm self-harming alone?'

Saori must have told her to restrain herself, so she might be upset that I'm having fun alone.

'Then I should help her.'

Bad things are more fun when done together. I smiled and approached Misaki, saying,

"Do you want to do it too, Misaki?"

"...What?"

"You've been staring at me, so I thought you were jealous that I was doing it alone."

"....That's."

"Come on~ I won't tell the leader~ Besides, look, I just found out recently, but if you stab here!"

Stab!

"...Huh, why isn't it going in? W-wait a moment."

The blade didn't go in as well as I thought, so I held the box cutter in reverse and stabbed it towards my wrist several times.

-Stab!

"...."

We haven't talked much lately.

-Stab!

To share our achievements like last time,

-Stab!

I happily carved new wounds on my arm.

....But,

"....Do it."

It seems I was the only one having fun.

"...Huh? What did you say?"

"...I said...do it."

"...Uh, I can't hear you, can you wait a moment? I think I'm almost done? Just one or two more times..."

"I said stop it!!!"

-Smack!!!

".....Huh?"

What? What happened?

My mind went blank for a moment at the sudden turn of events.

In front of me was Misaki with a flustered expression... and my cheek was stinging.

I was slapped.
