Shattered Stars

22 | Survival

natsumi hyuga's chapter will be put on hold. i was about to make her chapter right after satou's, but it wouldn't make sense for a chapter not related to the arc at the moment. natsumi's chapter should be in the 24 area. sorry :<<<

also, there is cursing in this chapter. do not read if you are sensitive to that or you simply cannot read it.

Five days.

Satou had been unconscious for five days.

Erissa wouldn't leave the Yasaki, unless they had school.

Guren knew that Satou was dead, and they couldn't do anything.

Sankarea suggested one of them use High Revival.

They all declined, not being able to cast the magic spell.

Even Mimmy didn't want to use it, she didn't even tell Erissa about her ability to use the spell.

On a rainy spring day, Sankarea summoned the group to talk about Satou.

"Hello everyone! I just wanted to inform you that-"

Yelling.

Erissa couldn't figure out what words came out of Sankarea's mouth.

The only thing she heard was Guren and Blythe yelling.

"What do you mean by that? He isn't even dead! He's breathing!" Guren screamed.

"I second my brother's claim. You can't replace your own son with some person we don't know!" Blythe raised her voice.

Then, Mimmy shouted.

"I know you're supposed to be my mentor and all, but I will not allow a comrade to be replaced!"

Sankarea smirked at the three.

"Replaced? You guys know that feelings all too well, yes? It's my son's turn to feel replaced."

Erissa couldn't understand.

"Yasaki-sensei, can you please repeat the sentence when you first came in?"

Everyone looked at the idol.

"Of course. I just wanted to inform you that Sin Tae-Wong will be taking Satori's place in the group," Sankarea smiled.

Erissa slapped Sankarea hard on the face.

She smiled, even though she was slapped hard by Erissa.

"You want to replace your own son with some stranger?"

Blythe looked at Erissa, signaling her to stop.

"He's breathing, Yasaki-sensei. He is alive."

Guren sighed.

"Satou-kun will not be replaced by Sin Tae-Wong, or by anyone. How dare you say that in front of your dying son."

Sankarea laughed at Erissa's sudden words.

"Are you trying to reason with me? I am the head of the Magic Government, Toudou-chan. I can kill whoever I want, even my own son."

Another slap.

"And you know what, Toudou-chan? You make me want to kill him more."

Another slap.

"Once he dies, you have no choice but to have him replaced."

Just before Erissa could slap Sankarea one more time, Chelsea held her arm.
