Chapter 5: "For Him, I Will Destroy You"
The warm atmosphere collapses into stillness.
Suzune #1 clenches her fists.
Suzune #8 smirks with her fingers twitching near the knife on her thigh.
Suzune #7 — the widow — doesn't move, but the grief in her eyes sharpens like a blade.
And Rei? Rei steps back, their voice calm, but loud.
---
Rei:
> "You all love him.
But tell me…
If only one of you could return to your Ayanokoji…
Would you let go?
Or would you take what's yours?"
No one answers.
Not with words.
---
💥 It begins with a SLAP.
Suzune #6 (the Royal) walks up to Suzune #8 (Yandere) and slaps her so hard it echoes through the luxury hall.
> Suzune #6:
"You don't deserve him. You broke him."
> Suzune #8 (smiling):
"And yet he never left. Your Ayanokoji just wanted power. Mine accepted madness."
---
🔥 Then the chaos explodes.
Suzune #3 (Battle Queen) tackles #6 into the chairs, yelling,
> "Enough talk! Prove it!"
Suzune #5 (Logical One) doesn't fight at first. She just records everyone's moves with icy precision.
Suzune #2 (Gentle Wife) tries to stop it—
> "This isn't what he would want!"
But she's shoved aside by #1, who whispers:
"You're too soft. He needs someone who understands darkness."
---
⚔️ The Fight Scenes:
💪 Suzune #3 vs. Suzune #6
Sword conjured from light vs. a whip of energy.
Blades clash as their royal pride explodes into sparks.
Every hit is like thunder. They were trained to fight.
---
🔪 Suzune #8 vs. Suzune #1
Knife vs. raw fists.
#1 fights with desperation. She's never had him… but she needs to.
#8 licks her lips mid-swing:
> "You're cute when you think you stand a chance."
---
🧠 Suzune #5 activates her strategy:
She throws smoke bombs into the room, watches movements, predicts the chaos.
> "Emotion blinds. Logic wins."
Then she coldly stabs #6 in the side during a clash with #3.
---
😢 Suzune #7 (The Widow) finally stands.
Eyes glowing faintly blue. Her voice like wind.
> "I'm sorry. But I won't lose him again."
She uses grief-born magic.
Summons phantoms of her Ayanokoji's last memory—his final smile.
> "Run, Horikita."
She unleashes a wave that sends everyone flying.
---
🌸 Suzune #2 finally snaps.
> "If you all want to destroy yourselves, fine!
But I'll fight too. For the man who gave me hope!"
She forms a barrier of light and grabs a staff of pure memory.
Every moment she loved Ayanokoji fuels her strength.
> "I remember his heartbeat.
That's more than enough to beat you all!"
---
⚔️ The FINAL STANDOFF Begins:
#3, #5, and #8 regroup.
#1, #2, and #7 stand behind a broken chandelier.
#6 is bleeding, but still standing.
She wipes her lip:
> "This isn't over."
---
Rei watches calmly as the floor cracks.
Walls flicker. Magic surges. The dimension is collapsing.
Then Rei claps once.
💥 BOOM.
Everyone is frozen in time.
---
Rei (firmly):
> "So this is your answer.
To love… by force.
To prove devotion… through destruction."
> "Interesting.
But now... let's raise the stakes."
Rei lifts a hand — and with a flash of white—
> Ayanokoji Kiyotaka appears in the center of the room.
His eyes open slowly.
He sees them all.
He speaks one word:
> "…Suzune?"
