>I want my memories back

[Kuroto]
“.........can you really do it? Can you return my memories?”

[Researcher]
“I can. You have powers that conflict with his. I will just be assisting them.”

[Kuroto]
“Then.........please.”

[Researcher]
“.........oh?”

[Kuroto]

“I've had enough of being dragged around not knowing anything.”

[Kuroto]
“In the end, not having my memories is just troubling those around me. I've been pushing that guy too.”

[Kuroto]
“.........I've had enough.”

[Researcher]
“...............you really do only think about others.”

[Kuroto]
“.........what?”

[Researcher]
“.........nothing.”

[Kuroto]
“...............!? Wha.........”

[Researcher]
“.........now, close your eyes.”

[Researcher]
“I will bring them out from the depths of the enclosement. You should summon the memories sealed within white light by your own hands.”

[Kuroto]
“What.........is this......”

[Researcher]
“...............your memories.........are dark, Kuroto.”

[Kuroto]
“...............kh........I'm losing consciousness.........!?”

---

[Kuroto]
(…............it's cold)

[Kuroto]
(…............and dark)

[Kuroto]
(…............where is this?)

[Kuroto]
(…............?)

[???]
“.........to.........”

[Kuroto]
(…......hm........?)

[???]
“.........Kuroto.........”

[Kuroto]
(…......what.........?)

[???]
“Hey, Kuroto.”

[Kuroto]
(…......this is.........?)

[???]
“.........Suzune. What?”

[Suzune]
“It's strange, even though you have the same name as the Kuroto from that fairy tale, you're not scary at all.”

[Suzune]
“It's even spelled the same way, isn't it?”

[???]
“.........sorry, it's the name my guardian gave me.”

[Suzune]
“Um, your foster-dad? He's an interesting person, isn't he?”

[???]
“.........he has pretty bad taste.”

[Suzune]
“.........huh.........wait, you're going already?”

[???]
“I told you before, you shouldn't associate with me very much.”

[Suzune]
“.........why?”

[???]
“Didn't your family and the other villagers tell you to stop talking to me? Aren't you going to get scolded again?”

[Suzune]
“That's not true, you seem a little scary at first glance, but I know you're actually kind.”

[Suzune]
“I think everyone finds you difficult to approach, but.........I'm fine.”

[???]
“.........that's not why.........even if you get close to me, nothing good will come of it.”

[Suzune]
“.........why, why would you say that?”

[???]
“..................”

[Suzune]
“Don't say that.”

[Suzune]
“I like you.”

[Kuroto]
(…......this is.........)

[Kuroto]
(…......the child I saw momentarily in a memory before, and)

[Kuroto]
(…......me.........?)

[Kuroto]
(…......aah.........that's right)

[Kuroto]
(…......these are my memories from long........ago)

All I was doing was waiting for that moment.

[Kuroto]
(…......hm?)

Until the moment the one they called the messiah came to kill me.

[Kuroto]
(…......there are some sort of.........emotions flowing into me.........)

[Kuroto]
(…......what is this.........?)

I had been waiting the whole time in fear.
Ever since Kurotaka told me I was “Kuroto” when I was young.

…......that's it, the whole time, until that moment.

[Kuroto]
(…......this is also mine.........?)

When too many people are killed by other people, Kuroto will be born. In order to end this world.

…......it's a fable everyone knows.

Kurotaka had only told me about it once, but there was no way I could ever forget it.

I constantly lived my life with those words constricting me.

As long as I'm here, whether I want it to or not, the world will eventually end, how could such a ridiculous story exist?

I always hoped from the bottom of my heart that a prophet from somewhere would say it was nonsense.

[Kuroto]
(…......aah.........)

Even so, everything in the environment around me, proved it was true.

And then, I certainly felt it deep within me.
The world was trying to break me down from my very core little by little.

…......that was why I was always alone.

[Kuroto]
(…......come to think of it.........) 

[Kuroto]
(…......I was certainly always losing something.........)

[Kuroto]
(…......I would always feel something like a sense of loss.........)

[Kuroto]
(…......it must have been because of this.........)

I never thought anyone other than Kurotaka would try to open my heart.

Whenever someone was kind to me, I felt as though eventually I would end up hurting them, and I couldn't help being afraid.

That's why I never really wished for anything.

I knew it was impossible for me to live a happy life.

…......it would be better if I lived quietly in the furthest corners of the world, without having any effect on anything or anyone.

…...............that's why

[Kuroto]
(…......hm.........?)

 

[Kuroto]
(…......this place is.........?)

[???]
“...............what about your name? What do they call you?”

[???]
“.....................”

[???]
“.....................”

[???]
“...............Kuroto.”

[???]
“...............hmmm.........”

[Kuroto]
(….....aah, right.........)

[Kuroto]
(This is where I first met Hanashiro.........)

…......that's why.........

I was truly happy when Hanashiro appeared before me. I thought, finally, the time has come.

It's weird to say, but for the first time in my life, I felt like my life had some worth.

Kurotaka was definitely my friend, but on the other hand, in the end, I couldn't shake the feeling that was only because I could destroy the world.

…......but, Hanashiro was different. While I was born and destined to destroy the world, Hanashiro was born to kill me.

I was the entire world's enemy, but Hanashiro was my sole enemy.

[Kuroto]
(…......the messiah, huh)

…......that's why I could relax around Hanashiro.

For the first time in my life, I felt at peace.

[Kuroto]
(…......that was a strange feeling.........)
