Respawn

Chapter 59: Final Smile

Saki’s POV

We need to seek the assistance of moderators. I've been communicating with the moderators and upper knights, but no one has shown up. Everyone in the crowd is struck by the fact that two hackers are fighting. I can't believe Yuu is a hacker and has kept it hidden from us for so long. I know he has a motive for doing what he did, and he only revealed his true appearance to protect Takahashi and Lyka. Therefore, I don't think he's a bad person. We are unable to hear their chats, which makes me even more concerned about what they are discussing. "I think I should go to the castle right now and ask the king and his knights personally," I continued, "because no one is still coming here to help them." "Look at him," Tori exclaimed as she grabbed my arm.

Yuu causes a large explosion in the air, melting the thousand spikes generated by Earl. I was very concerned for no reason. I forgot that he is Yuu, my friend who is the strongest of all. I should believe him, and if I keep hounding the moderators to come here, they'll figure out that Yuu is a hacker as well. Earl is left speechless, which Yuu takes advantage of. "Did he already give up?" I inquired. Yuu grabs Earl as the two of them are going to the ground. I can't believe he won; I'm so scared and worried that he would lose. When they reach the ground, he slams Earl down hard and stabs him in the stomach. Everyone in the audience is clapping for him, and Yuu appears to be proud.

This man makes me overly concerned. He could have done it earlier so I wouldn't be in such a depressed state. "That man is so stupid," I remarked, a smile on my face. He began to smile and wave at Takahashi, but all we can see are Takahashi's wailing and screaming eyes. "Can you tell me why he's screaming?" Tori was the one who inquired. What's the matter with him? Why does Takashi look panicked if the fight has already ended? We discover that the virus sword, which has been left levitating in the air, is aimed precisely at Yuu's back, and he has been stabbed by it. He can't die, and I can't let him die because we still haven't talked! Earl has already vanished, and the hologram has stopped portraying what is happening on the game field and has announced the result.

"Yuu, Takahashi, and Lyka are the game's winners," the artificial intelligence host declared. We can't watch what's going on and Yuu was just stabbed by the virus sword. I heard that anyone stabbed by that would vanish from the face of the earth forever. I'd wish he didn't die. "Hey, please open the hologram and show us what's going on! Please, he's a friend of mine, and I'd like to know whether he's okay "I beg them. All I know is that tears begin to pour from my eyes, and I am on my knees crying uncontrollably. I haven't even told him what I'd like to say to him. I never had the chance to find out why I began to appreciate and adore him. That man is a moron for making me adore him and then abandoning me.

Yuu’s POV

I try to bring him down to the ground while holding his neck, and as soon as we get to the ground, I'll stab him. Is he already unconscious? His hands are weak, and as we get closer to the earth, he has already let go of his virus sword and is floating in the air. He is now hopeless, and he will die this time. I restored everyone's safety, and we'll be able to resume our normal lives. We're already close to an island, so I grab his head and slam it down. "This is your last time," I said. I stab his guts with my virus sword, and his hands slowly fade away, signifying that he will disappear from this world soon.

He gives me a smile and then looks up at the sky. As a result, he is still awake. I don't need to hurt him any further because he will die soon, which is sufficient punishment for him. "I knew I was going to die, so I didn't do anything else. You have no idea how relieved I am that I got into a fight with a man like you. I'm one of the hackers in the inferno hoping you'll return one day. I admired you and wished to meet you before, but now I met you in an unexpected way. I must be a complete moron. I want to show you that I, too, am strong and capable of accomplishing something "He stated. I just stare at him as his entire body begins to fade. "Yuu!" Takahashi screamed, and tears streamed down his cheeks. I smile at him and wave my hands at him. "We completed the task! I was victorious! We are now safe!" I stated. "Yuu! No!" he screams more loudly. I felt something stab me from behind, and it was Earl's Virus Sword that was left levitating in the air earlier.

"Yuu, Takahashi, and Lyka are the game's winners," the host declared. Takahashi and Lyka sprint towards me as I clutch my stomach in pain. When I look at my hands, I notice that they are bleeding, and I can feel the virus sword's blade in my stomach. He purposefully left the virus sword in the air, giving it one last instruction to stab me and deliver an unexpected strike so I wouldn't try to avoid it. "My apologies for the carelessness. I'm such a slob. I had no idea he had a final plan, and I believe this is it for me now "I stated. If I just learn to be more cautious, I'll be able to live indefinitely. "You'll live longer if you quit talking like that! For the time being, quit talking because help is on its way! They'll be here shortly, and I'm confident they'll be able to reverse the effect." Takahashi said.

The virus sword's impact will never go away because it is the ultimate and sacred weapon in the inferno that every hacker is granted. I'm going to die now, and I have to accept it. When I look at my hands, I notice that they are starting to fade. I need to tell them about the matters I didn't tell them about because it is my last moment. "I guess I'm going to die now," I remarked, holding up my vanishing hands. My eyes can't stop crying, so I just give them a nice smile. It's excruciating, and I don't want to die. I want to spend the rest of my life with these folks. Lyka took my hand in her and cried, "Uncle, you can't abandon us! You can't just abandon us like this! Please stay with us! "..

"I've already kept my word! Takahashi, I told you not to be concerned because I am here to protect you and your companion. I'm delighted I was able to keep my commitment to you before I passed away "I stated. He screamed and burst into sobs, "I know you told me that, but I wouldn't let you die and abandon us! You're so unjust! ".. I'm curious about what happens after someone passes away. Will I be able to witness the people who died in my hands in the past? They're probably waiting for me already, and I'm sure they're pleased with me for once again choosing to defend the ones that matter to me. I take Lyka's hand in mine and glance at her. The potion's influence is still present, and I want to tell her about it.

"Lyka I really like you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, not the way you think. I know we've discussed it and agreed to treat each other as friends and family, but I still didn't follow through. I understand you feel deceived, and I hope you will forgive me "I stated. She gives me a hug and pats my head "I don't, and that's okay because you're still my friend! It's difficult to resist such feelings, so who am I to judge? ", she stated She is a sweet and understanding young lady. "It all started when you accidently activated a love potion. I believe it is also the reason why you are being pursued by a hacker. I'm starting to wonder if I'd still like you even if there was no potion, but I believe I'll always love you. " I said

"Thank you for keeping me safe. Thank you for ensuring the safety of my father. You're a great friend "she stated Because my body parts are already starting to fade, the potion's influence will soon be gone in my body. When I gaze at Lyka in the eyes, my heart still skips a beat. My heart didn't flutter anymore when she smiled at me. It didn't make me feel the same way it used to. The potion's influence has already worn off. The first thing that came out of my mouth was, "I didn't even say a proper good bye to Saki.". I'm not sure why I'm thinking about her. She's the one who's on my mind right now for some reason. Why am I acting this way when the love potion is already gone?

I was mistaken in thinking that once the potion's impact was gone, I would still adore Lyka. So, I was in love with Saki the whole time and didn't even realize it since I was under the effect of the love potion. Without telling her that I love her, I'll perish and vanish from this world. She will be completely unaware of my feelings for her in this realm. This should have been obvious to me. If only I told her about it last night, we could both be smiling and exchanging hugs right now. I will die with regrets, one of which is not telling her that she is the one I like. My body begins to fade away, as my ashes are carried away by the wind. In my final breath, I didn't even see Saki. "Goodbye everyone," I remarked with a final smile.
