Chapter 200

“Just because this is a warped world, your heart is going to be swallowed by darkness if you keep disregarding people’s lives like that! I want you to save them, even if they are illusions! Because that’s what a Hero would do!” Seiya deeply sighs, then turns to me with clear contempt in his eyes. “You’re always like this. You let your emotions get the better of you, and you behave irrationally. And it always ends with you putting everyone else in danger.” “I—I’ve become more cautious, too, you know!” “Did Kiriko die for nothing?” “…?! Why are you bringing her up at a time like this?!” I’m already crying so much that I can’t see through the tears anymore, yet Seiya decided to pour salt in my wounds. “You’ve gone beyond mere uselessness. You’re a plague that’s getting in the way of me saving parallel worlds. You’re the Goddess of Plagues.” His venomous remarks sound like something you would say to your enemy. Streams of tears drip onto the ground after slipping alongside my runny nose and who knows what else. I shout at the top of my lungs: “Wahhhhhhhhh!” “Yo, you’re crying like a…” Cerceus seems to be taken aback, but I continue to wail like a small child. Seiya clicks his tongue. “Tch. Shut up, already. Stop crying and open a gate to Iglu.” “…?! This is all your fault, you know! Wahhhhhh! How can you tell someone to stop crying when you’re the one who made them cry?!” “Hurry up and open a gate.” “Shut up!! I’m making a grave for Rosalie before we goooooo!!” “Then be quick about it. You have five minutes.” He then briskly walks away. “What’s his problem?! Who’s he calling the ‘Goddess of Plagues’?! Does he seriously think I’m going to finish making a grave in five minutes after all that?! Ahhhhhh!!” “R-Rista, relax. I’ll help, okay?” “Stupid, Seiya! Stupid, stupid, stupid—ahhhhhhhhh!! Sniffle! Hic!” “Whoa… I’ve never seen a runny nose like that before.” Cerceus sounds grossed out, but I don’t let that stop me from crying.
