My Soulmate (Aru Akise X Reader)

Chapter 23: Let the Games Conclude!

"We need to talk..," Aru states. He was currently in Yuno's guest room, summoning Deus. Knowing that he was a few moments before ending this twisted game, his mood was much better. Aru was refreshed, and his clean and neat appearance shows it. With a cool breeze filling the room, Aru's snow hair starts to move like wind hitting him while on top of a mountain. The very next moment he was teleported to Deus' death bed.

A small pastel colored figured zoomed infront of him, flying out of Deus' 'eggshell.'

"What business do you have, Aru Akise?" the lavender haired loli asked him.

Aru looked at her and then to Deus, who had multiple cracks across his body. 'His damage is there.' Aru took a deep breath and looked right in Muru Muru's eyes sharply when he said, "I want (Y/n) and I to be removed from the game."

Muru Muru took a moment to process what Aru said, nodding, "Seems easy enough. It'll probably spare some of Deus' energy too."

She then floated off, and then quickly zipped though the air in front of him, "Deus says he needs to take a vote with the other participants."

"But we aren't even candidates to become god! Why do we need a vote!?" Aru questioned back, his tone much louder than usual.

Muru Muru shrugged without a care, "That's not up to me."

Aru looked deep into her eyes, looking for something. 'She knows.'

"Then let's summon everyone! There's just Gasai, Yukiteru, Eighth, and Ninth to convince, right?" Aru asks, talking much faster and frantically, as if he wasn't in control.

Muru Muru shook her head with a fake sorry look, "Deus can't do that. The world is falling apart as we speak."

"Well, why don't we just end the games here? Deus can summon the remaining participants, we take the vote, and we end the game," he proposed, taking pauses every now and then, presumably to catch his train of thought.

Muru Muru once again flew to Deus and passed the message. She came back with, "He says it'll work."

Aru took a sigh of relief. Moments later they started their vote. Unsurprisingly, everyone but Eighth votes for the couple to stay in the game. Aru and (Y/n) got pissy, but knew it was out of their control... to the eyes of others.

Aru and (Y/n) stood close to each other, and this allowed Aru to say, "I'm sorry I couldn't get you out of this shithole."

"Aru!" (Y/n) fake gasped at him, but then smiled, "It's alright. You do a good job, like you always do."

He looked at her and admired her kindness. He nodded, and proceeded to store those words and her warm tone in his brain.

All the participants looked fixated at Muru Muru or the others they planned on taking action on. They planned who they'd go after, or in other cases, who they'd protect.

"Let the games... conclude!" Muru Muru says enthusiastically, ready for the show.

Eighth immediately summoned the two apprentices she was allowed to have, Tarō and Orin. Despite that, Eighth has no problem ending her existence if the two were to get hurt. They were her children after all, and her battle would be over without them. She glanced at (Y/n) and Yukiteru who were jumping around, avoiding debris from Ninth's bombs.

"(Y/n)! Right metal scrap!" Yukiteru shouts, reading from his diary in shortcuts as he dodged a cement block himself.

Added to having six people battle to the death, their battlefield was falling apart, making proficient parkour skills a need.
