Owari No Seraph-Ichinose Guren, 16-sai no Catastrophe Volume 5 & 6

Chapter 4 (Part 4)

23 December

Guren suddenly decided to go to the Hyakuya orphanage operated by the <Hyakuya Sect>.

The <Hyakuya Sect>'s facility for experiments, that Mahiru had warned him not to approach.

The <Seraph of the End> research should also be conducted there. He remembered that Saito had seemed to be with an experiment subject by the name of Michaela. That was a name that had also appeared in the information Mahiru had left regarding <Seraph of the End>.

He thought that the orphanage would be empty. Those children should have been killed already.

Just like those related to <Seraph of the End>, they should have been massacred by the vampires.

Guren walked into the empty building.

There were still signs that children had lived here before.

A strange dog drawn on the blackboard.

Posters pasted on the walls.

Open futons.

There were some rooms where the name of the child who lived there had been written.

– Iida Akane

– Hayama Juni

– Endo Isamu

Among them,

He found it.

— Shindo Michaela

That name.

"......"

Guren walked into the room.

It was a two-person room.

There were two beds, and two tables.

Something like a journal was lying open on one table. Guren glanced at it.

It seemed to be a diary. The last date written in the diary as 8 December.

That was 4 days, before the vampires' attack.

In the journal, there was handwriting so beautiful that it did not seem to be written by a child, and the content was thus.

Today Akane fell down and was injured. Akane who is always so cheerful, cried for so long today just because she fell down.

She must be feeling very lonely.

Of course I'm lonely too.

Although we must bid farewell to the orphanage today, but to be able to move to a different place with everyone here, I feel very happy. Because even if it's a new place we'll still be together with everyone, so we don't have to cry like that.

But even so, it feels lonely to leave here.

It would be nice if the place we're going is a good place—

These kinds of things were written.

This diary was irrelevant. The orphanage children had moved to a different place, a wrong place.

That was how it was.

However,

"...... Four days before the vampire began their attack. Is it a coincidence?"

Guren muttered.

"Or is it that, those bastards already knew that they would be attacked by the vampires?"

If that was the case, then the situation was complicated.

Or if somewhere, Shindo Michaela was still living, then in other words, the <Seraph of the End> plan was still ongoing.
