The Final Destination

Time passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed in the dark world of the Cursed Children.

At this moment, atop a stretch of ruins, Hiruko Kagetane stood with Kohina on an abandoned building, watching the last human settlement be destroyed by the Gastrea.

For a moment, his expression was indescribable.

"Dad, are we leaving this world?"

Hiruko Kagetane looked over the barren world around them.

"It is time to leave. This world of despair has finally come to an end. But why do I still feel such an indescribable melancholy in my heart?"

Hiruko Kagetane murmured as he looked at the dim sky.

Over the years, humanity had mounted desperate resistance after desperate resistance, yet every attempt had ended in failure. As the world gradually became desolate, food had become humanity's greatest problem. Under the famine, the world descended into its final madness: people eating people.

Yet in the end, it was merely a desperate struggle to survive.

During the final period, the Cursed Children who remained in this world became the targets of everyone's envy and jealousy.

Because at some point, a rumor began to spread among the last surviving humans.

It said that the Cursed Children could take those they cherished away from this hopeless world.

The spread of this news twisted the faces of those who had already fallen into despair. Why were those little monsters the ones being favored again?

Though they were deeply resentful, they had no choice but to desperately curry favor with the remaining Cursed Children.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately disappointed. Only thinking of treating the girls well now was far too late.

Moreover, the Witch Bracelets could not take away people with impure intentions. They could only watch helplessly as hope slipped through their fingers once more.
