I didn't tell you a single lie, but it's a terrible story.

I can only shake my head enough because I'm kneeling down and holding my shoulders. Well, it's not a headshake doll, so there's nothing I can do about it where I shook my head, and I'm still. What? A headshake doll.

Angelina pulled the knife out of her hips sheath. Instead, a pattern is carved into the blade that emits blue light. I guess it's a good item. At a glance.

"You killed Mosa. That's what I said."

"Oh."

"Then you have Mosa in your eyes."

Angelina's knife was poked between my right and left eyes.

"You must have seen it. Right?

"Oh, I saw it"

"What kind of monster was that?

Do you know what a creature is?

"I know."

"It felt like a big one."

"That's not true."

I said it in a voice like the one Yavin pushed to death.

"Anyone can say that about Sahagin. Even humans will sweep and throw away such things as those who know what a dyno-gula looks like."

"You know what? That's when I first found out."

"How did you kill him?

The tip of Angelina's knife swept between my brows.

"No way, I didn't slash him with a sword"

"Scared me, dropped me off a cliff. I'm not the one who hit the rock and stabbed the stomach. The Sahaggins, to be exact, didn't kill me alone. This left arm was eaten by Mosa."

"Left arm?

"Oh."

"Did you think that would sound like the best thing to say? It's ridiculous."

"It's true, so you can't help it."

"There's no way I can believe it, and I'm not laughing at all right now"

I'm sorry to hear that.

"Not if I'm sorry. Xaragi. You should be sorry."

"Ah?"

"It's too late to regret it."

I... came in.

The blade of the knife is in my right eye.

A little more specifically, between the lower lid and the eyeball.

When Angelina returned her wrist, it felt like a bump, a puff, and my eyeballs peeled out without any resistance. No, it wasn't like there was no resistance whatsoever. It's obvious.

Bump, that's the sound of something cutting off. It's a disconnected sound. Perhaps Angelina quickly severed the optic nerve from the muscles that move the eyeball. Then nothing connects the eyeball to my flesh. The eyeballs will no longer be part of my flesh.

"Mm, mmm, mmm..."

I'm not sure why I ate my teeth and screamed. I'm glad I screamed at the basket. Somehow, I put up with it.

My, no, right eyeball, which was mine, fell to the floor leaving a soft feeling on my cheek.

I saw it with my left eye alone. My right eye was gone. The lost right eye, the part where the right eye was, had just severe pain, then sharp, as if pressing a red-baked iron stick there and moving it around. I don't need that. If you refuse, the pain won't leave. It doesn't even fade.

Angelina braided her eyeballs, which were mine, and stepped on them with her shoe toes.

So I weighed in a little bit.

Eventually, the eyeballs crumbled.

"Kisaragi, you are"

Angelina rang her throat, fumbling, fumbling.

"I shouldn't have even told you what I didn't even see. If you were going to blow the law, you should have at least entertained me. You couldn't do that. You didn't do what you had to do. This is punishment, Xaragi. I never blew a funny magic spine or admitted to falsehood. You lost your right eye because of this. Forever. I hope that's it? Don't you think?

I closed my right eye. I opened it. Crushed again. Pain. Pain. Definitely hurts. There are no eyeballs. I'll try to close my left eye. I don't see anything. Ouch. You close your eyes even if you don't have them. Really? The eyeballs and eyelids will be different again. Oh, it hurts. Seriously. It hurts. Shit. This guy hurts. You're bleeding, too. Well, that's okay. That's not true. Nerves. They cut my nerves. Ouch. As painful as the end of the world is. Probably more painful than death. Ouch.

"Admit it, Xaragi. You lied. You didn't kill Mosa. I can't do that. There's no way I can do that, like kill that monster. How many sailors do you think took their lives from that monster? How many ships do you think were sunk in that monster? I got attacked by that monster, but at the end of the day, there's no way to do it. That is not a creature. It's a disaster. This is not how you can be. In a way, it's like God. A mean, cruel, merciless, horrible God. You mean you killed God? That's impossible. There's no way a kid like you could do such a thing. Wouldn't you?

"... I am"

"That's right. Admit it."

"... we..."

"Make it easier, Xaragi"

"Give me Mosa."

I'll make it easier for you.

"Killed him."

Moments, I didn't know what happened.

Hi, they hit me in the head with a knife painting. Probably fainted and woke up right away. Then, apparently, I got a good idea.

"Whatever...!

Angelina tried to pinch both my cheeks with her left hand. The cutting-edge of the knife you're holding with your right hand is going to sweep in my left eye.

"I'm telling you not to lie...! Killing Mosa, etc...! If it's such an easy thing to kill......! I...!

"... even if your parents or some kind of ship were sunk by Mosa..."

"What do you know......!

"... I don't know... but... on the island of tears, a lot of... Sahagin is dead... in front of me... eaten..."

"... so what are you saying"

"We all... defeated... it wasn't just me... that monster had to be defeated... if it had to be defeated... it was him... so I killed him..."

"What do you want to say...?

"... the fact that that thing... landed on the island of tears to live... that we... killed that thing to live... I can't do it... that's what happened... I... don't lie..."

"... Yavin!

"Yes!

"Leave this guy alone in the barn! Then... he went to the island of tears to make sure it was true. Hurry up!

In a distant consciousness, I feel like I've heard from Yavin. I lost my mind.
