Chapter 302
Therefore, although the only tangible power he possessed was the Crazy Diamond in his hand, Asakusa Toru was not particularly afraid of the 'Strongest Sorcerer' Satoru Gojo.
And so, with a swift stroke of the pen, the diary entry came to a close.
[Today's record complete, currently drawing rewards]
[Draw successful! Congratulations on obtaining the item 'Pain Breaker']
In accordance with loving protection, the wooden circular staff quietly fell.
Command crests, Noble Phantasms, Spells, Staffs.
It doesn't matter what it's called or what form it takes.
Flaws that should be eliminated, damages that should be repaired.
What is shattered here is the despair of illness.
"Found it."
As Asakusa Toru gripped the wooden staff, a demonstration animation flashed through his eyes. He understood the method of using the item and its effects. He then looked up.
Amasawa Ichika also gave a pleasing answer.
The girl smiled and raised her right hand, her index finger and thumb forming a ring, while the remaining three fingers were spread out like wings, signifying completion.
It doesn't mean I should change jobs three times for this one job.
"Then, let's set off."
The fact that they could find information about a heart match still being sought means that the silver-white, emotionless girl has not yet crossed the line into death.
So, all you have to do is find the target ward in a simple and direct way. If it's unlocked, just go in. If it's locked, just kick the door open and go up there to Pain Breaker!
All the problems will then be solved!
First, locate the target ward!
"Wait, wait a minute, sir, are you here to visit? If you are visiting, you need to register, security, security—"
Ignoring the sounds chasing him from behind, Asakusa Toru stormed in and arrived at the target ward.
Apart from the sounds behind me, the entire corridor was actually quite quiet.
In such a hospital ward, dying at any moment doesn't seem strange, and that's why everyone tries to avoid making noise as much as possible.
Making noise is something only the living have the right to do.
"Bang--"
A violent thigh, a door kicked open, and a girl sitting on a pure white hospital bed, turning her head to look at the sun shining and the spring breeze blowing, letting the gauze curtains sway.
Petite figure, long silver-white hair, golden pupils.
Although she shares some similarities, it's clear she's a completely different girl from Little Alice.
The aura was faint and suspended. In short, let the Crazy Diamond beat it up first, and then use the Pain Breaker!
Fist flashes, a burst of light.
Pain Breaker, let's get started!
"--gentlemen!"
The screech of pursuers, as if their lives depended on it, echoed from behind.
Asakusa Toru didn't have time to linger. After confirming that the Pain Breaker had been activated, he turned and left the ward.
Before leaving from the other side, his gaze caught sight of someone unexpected.
With long, golden curly hair and blue eyes, the girl, whose surname is Gongyuan, also suffers from an incurable disease.
Through the open door of the hospital room, the girl, slowly climbing down from the bed, seemed to be heading out to see what had happened.
CD...
There is no such thing as a CD!
Brake, stop, try again.
" --Pain Breaker!"
There's no time for Crazy Diamond to beat us up; the rest should be resolved with time and rest.
While turning back might prevent them from being caught, breaking free from the nurses and security guards blocking their way would be quite troublesome.
So--
"That--"
Just as the girl's cries were averted and her outstretched hand fell short, Asakusa Toru swiftly crossed the small space of the ward and stepped onto the windowsill.
"--Danger!"
The light just now, the doubts in my heart, the changes I felt in my body.
There was no time to think about any of that. The most important thing was this man—was he going to jump out of the window?!
It's very dangerous!
As her body regained strength, Kaori Miyazono couldn't help but try to stop Asakusa Toru's actions, but even now, with her body just repaired, she had no chance of having a faster reaction and movement speed than Asakusa Toru to stop him.
It was only in the fleeting moment before I even started thinking that I saw Asakusa Toru leap out of the window, causing a slight commotion before disappearing around the corner.
"He... I..., what is this...?"
She paused, stunned, and then uttered a sound.
In her daze, Kaori Miyazono seemed to hear the voice behind her again.
"Miss Lihua, are you alright? Waaah! The door wasn't even locked, why did that person kick it open? How are we going to repair this damaged door...?"
"No, no, Miss Lihua, he didn't do anything to you just now, did he?"
"Huh? What? There's light?"
"All healed... Huh? Completely healed? No, no, no, let's do a checkup first, please do a checkup first--"
That sound seemed to be coming from the room where the commotion had started.
Combining this with the power that was gradually surging within her body, which seemed to belong to her all along, Kaori Miyazono suddenly seemed to understand something.
This is redemption.
Without warning, without any reason.
It might not even be a response to any of the prayers they have ever made.
It was simply a matter of seeing it, and so I did it on a whim.
The image that flashed through my memory just now—the man's face, the surprise in his eyes the moment our eyes met.
He was never part of the plan; it seemed he was there specifically to target Tachibana Kanade.
But such good luck.
I found redemption.
"--Um!" she said, stepping out of the ward, "Give me a checkup too!"
The young woman should remember the blessings of this day.
If Asakusa Toru had a list of memories in his mind, then at this moment, most of the names would have been crossed out.
The outcome has already been changed, leaving a lingering unease in one's heart. Isn't it going too far to stubbornly cling to it and keep it there?
Get out of here, all of you! Men, get out! Women, women, women get out too!
Okay, you could actually get to know the woman a little.
If we were to schedule it during more flexible time, it would be more accurate to say before receiving the Diary.
Asakusa Toru felt he should have chosen a more moderate approach to this matter, rather than the current brutal method.
To build a closer relationship and show some kindness.
Taking advantage of someone's kindness...
Never mind.
That's something we still can't do.
It will feel a little awkward.
Without demanding anything in return, they simply left a phone number and address, and bluntly said, "Come find me if you feel itchy."
... That seems a bit perverted.
It's better to Advanced Nurturing. Everyone in Advanced Nurturing families is quite repressed; it's all about being nice to everyone.
You might say you've received a favor, or you might say you haven't.
It was basically a purely physical relationship.
It went off course.
Let's get back to the list in our minds.
The names that have been crossed out are: Natsume Kyosuke, Otonashi Yuzuru, Otonashi Hatsune, Tachibana Kanade, and Kaori Miyazono.
The name still exists.
Yuuki Konno, Masami Iwasawa, Yui Yoshioka.
Wow, they're all beautiful girls.
Actually, if you follow the trail of the Afterlife Battlefront, Asakusa Toru feels that he could find even more.
For example, there was a girl who had been beaten by him when he passed by, and who had been robbed in her home in this not-so-safe society.
It seems she might be in a car accident.
However, it's outrageous and unreasonable for someone to die instantly in a car accident.
If it's destined to happen, then it's unavoidable.
Traffic accident, traffic accident.
... excluding traffic accidents, which are outcomes that cannot be changed unless they occur on the spot.
Oh, and there's someone Shiori Sekine, an ICU passerby.
Cough.
Let's meet again if we can.
If you actively seek out people, no amount of time or resources will be enough.
The only thing one can pray for is the wish to have all desires fulfilled, relying on an unreasonable force to irrationally claim that all the world's pain will be saved before birth.
The direction of the goal follows the Law of Cycles!
Yeah, right.
Asakusa Toru doesn't want to be the Law of Cycles; he wants to be the God of the New World!
He already referred to himself that way in his diary.
In short...
"Squeak--"
The sharp screech of emergency brakes rang out in front of me, and the rampaging bus crashed into me in an instant. The electric scooter's front wheel veered off course under the massive impact, and the bus, which was hurtling towards me from the opposite direction, seemed to be venting its fury.
"'Crazy Diamond'!"
The Stand's phantom image appeared, and its destructive power and speed reached their limits in an instant.
"Your mother's..."
Asakusa Toru was so frightened his heart was pounding.
What is this? What is this? Where the hell did this runaway bus come from?!
I was just thinking about a traffic accident when this happened???
He wasn't riding his bike right now. If he were, he might have realized it on the spot, but because he had things to think about, he cleared his mind and chose to let Amazawa ride the bike, while he sat behind her and gave her a little squeeze and hug.
