Respawn

Chapter 27: Dance of Death

"Lady Aiko, take a deep breath and relax. There is a solution for your man to quit falling in love with that girl without undoing the potion's impact, "he stated. I believe what he is claiming is improbable. A person who has been enslaved by a love potion can only be set free by removing the potion's effect. I asked, "Tell me what it is." "We only need to kill the lady he likes," he remarked as he sipped his drink. In a fit of rage, I slammed the table against the wall. This is nothing more than a pointless discussion. "Do you hear what you're saying? If we try to kill her, she will simply resurrect again and again. I'm finished with you! Stop kidding around, I'm serious about this! " I stated. "Have you ever heard of a virus sword?" Haru said. "What is a virus sword?" I inquired. It's the first time I've heard of that sword. I'm not sure if I should believe what this man says anymore. "It is a sword that can cause the person who is killed by it to perish for all eternity. She will no longer respawn and will vanish from this world entirely, "he stated. I had no idea such a sword existed; it's similar to the royal power of banning. "Can you tell me where we can obtain those swords?" I inquired. "Those swords are only available to hackers," he explained. Did he just say something about hackers, often known as devils in our world? It's like collaborating with the devil in order to save Yuu, but it doesn't matter. "Can you tell me where we can locate hackers who can assist us so we can kill that girl?" He fixed his gaze on my eyes. Something is strange, and I sense danger. The color of his eyes begins to change, and horns sprout from his head. He smirked at me and said, "There's no need to look for hackers because one is already in front of you."

I rapidly materialized my bow from my hand and pointed it at him. My assistant dashed to my front to shield me in case anything awful happened. How can an upper knight, who is also recognized as one of the most powerful wizards, be a hacker? Right now, I should report him and murder him. His presence is a menace to this realm hence he should be banned. He is a true hacker, with eyes and horns that resemble those of someone who has made a pact with the devil. He asked, "Why do you look like that? Please calm down, it's still me Haru. I thought you needed my help." I couldn't get much closer to him because my assistant wouldn't let me. "Lady, stay away, he's dangerous," my assistant said.

I'm still wondering whether or not to fire an arrow at his head. If he makes a move, I'm going to shoot him in the head and let his body fall to the ground. He said, "Lady, please calm down. I am not here to hurt you. I am still your friend." He appeared to be wearing a bunny mask, which he materialized on his hand. He hides his face behind the mask. "Every hacker has their own animal mask to conceal their face while they are in their hacker appearance, and I am the bunny hacker, the hacker with great magic power," he continued. "You're a hacker, you're a traitor to our government, and you're well aware that what you're doing might damage your title and lead to a ban. Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"What's wrong with doing bad things to get something we want? We're all slaves to something we want. We all have evil in our hearts. We're willing to do the f*******n just to get what we want. I'm no different from you. You just use a love potion on the guy you like in the hopes that he'll love you back. You didn't give him freedom or choice. You're obsessive like me, so relax and let's continue our conversation," he said. Perhaps I should confront him. What he said makes sense and is actually correct. We are all enslaved by our desires. If I wasn't deeply in love with a person I adore, I wouldn't be in this position.

"How did you become a hacker?" I inquired. "How long have you been deceiving our king and other officials? Why did you choose to become a hacker?" I asked. He's just leaning back and enjoying his tea. No one would guess he's a hacker based on his demeanor in public. Now I understand why I believe he isn't a good person when I saw him earlier. "That's a lot of questions to answer. I became a hacker because I made a deal with the devil, but I swear it was the best deal I ever made. I've deceived everyone for a hundred years. I became a hacker because I needed more power and fame. Everything wasn't enough, and I wasn't satisfied with what I had, so I made a pact with the devil and now I have a very powerful magical skill that has made me one of the greatest wizards, " he said.

"People begin to look up to me, and I am far beyond their power. Just looking at those people makes me think they are such fools. It is way easier to make a deal with the devil than to practice all day and achieve nothing," he added. I understand if he desires so much power and fame, because I, too, desire these things. I am somewhat loyal to our king, and I still obey those in positions of authority in this world. In this world, I only look down on the weak and hopeless. "So, tell me, would you let a hacker like me greatly help you in murdering the lady your man adores?" he inquired.

I should let him help me if it's the only way to get Yuu to stop loving that girl. He's the only person who can help me at this point, and I can't let this opportunity pass me by. I know it's difficult, and I'm worried since I'm striking a deal with a hacker, which is wrong and against the king's rule, but I'll do the unfathomable for Yuu's sake. Because of a guy like him, I'm going insane and becoming a fool. "I'll keep our deal going, so please help me. I know you're the only one who can help, so please do everything you can to help me," I urged. I'm in such a difficult situation because of the boy I want. I never expected to be this way because of love. I feel as if I'm losing myself, and I'm willing to sacrifice my pride and commitment to my king.

Hearing what I said excites him, and I can still see him smiling an evil smile from behind his mask, as if he's ready to commit another sin. "That makes me so happy! I can't wait to use the virus sword again; it's been a long time since I've used it," he said. He materialized a massive blade that was actually larger than him. It's a black sword with old inscriptions on the blades. It is also encircled by a dark aura. He wields the blade as though it were light. He is a formidable opponent, and I assume the sword is quite heavy. "This sword is the solution to your problem, and after I murder her with it, she'll be gone forever," he said, chuckling evilly.

While clutching his sword, he looked at me. "My only mission is to kill the lady," he stated. "Tell me about your preparations." Right now, I don't have any plans. I assumed he would just assassinate the lady at a random location, but I had no idea it would be so meticulously organized. I immediately recalled that there would be a ball at the resort's main hall, to which all of the guests would be invited. I'm guessing they'll show up, and the party will stop around 1 a.m. Haru only needs to keep an eye on the lady, and when she is alone, he can carry out his plan and murder her without being seen. I'm guessing that with this idea, everything will proceed according to plan. Finally, I'll be able to free Yuu from that female.

There's another issue, which is that I have no idea who the female he likes. "Haru, I'm not sure who the girl he likes. Is it feasible for you to find out who she likes?" I inquired. He created a ball of fire, and the fire began to create a vision in which we could see where Yuu was also at the time. They arrived at the dining hall. "See that girl sitting next to him? That's the girl he likes. I already know who she is. Don't underestimate the power of a hacker," he remarked. When I look at the lady in the vision, I notice Yuu is looking away from her while the girl continues to speak with him. Yuu must be acting in this manner because it is the girl she likes. Right now, I'm both envious and enraged.

Right now, I feel like I want to explode with rage and murder that girl right away. "Calm down, lady Aiko. It appears that witnessing your man with someone else has driven you insane," he remarked. When he snaps, he extinguishes the flames, and the vision fades. "Kill that girl, and I'll give you half of my money, just make sure she's dead and gone forever in this world." I'm willing to raise the stakes simply to ensure that this girl perishes. "Kill her slowly by cutting her legs, arms, and any other part of her. I want her to suffer, so do your best to torment her," I said. I believe I am becoming crazier and losing my mind as a result of my jealousy.

I want her to suffer, so do your best to torment her," I said. I believe I am becoming crazier and losing my mind as a result of my jealousy.

"What is your overall plan, lady Aiko?" he inquired. I believe we should take advantage of the fact that there will be a ball later, and that it will take place at night, when the surroundings will be dark and no one will be able to stop Haru. With Haru's magic, he will undoubtedly find a way to carry out our plan flawlessly. "We'll go to the ball later, but please don't wear your original face or at least try to wear make-up so no one notices it's Haru the Great Wizard," I said. He takes off his bunny mask and covers his face with his hand for a second before snapping and changing his face. His eyes are normal brown, and his hair is blonde. His appearance and voice are completely different. "What about this look?" he inquired.

He is such a talented wizard that he can change his appearance and conceal his true identity. "I like that expression," I said. He puts on his bunny mask, then takes it off again, and his face changes to Yuu's. "You prefer this face, don't you?" he asked. He has a striking resemblance to Yuu. He can even imitate the face and voice of the man I like. "I love you, Aiko," he declared. I can't move, and I'm about to burst with mixed emotions just thinking about how he said it with Yuu's face and voice. I need to calm down because he isn't Yuu and is simply an imposter. "What is this for?" I inquired. "I thought you'd like to imagine he was telling you those words," he explained. I like it, but I want the real him. He snaps his fingers, and his previous face reappears. "There will be a dance at 11:55 pm until 12:00 am. I guess almost everyone there will have a dance at the hall. We need to avoid engaging Saki because if she notices that we are attempting to do bad things, she will become a big hindrance to us. I will ask Yuu to dance with me before 12:00 a.m. and while Yuu is busy dancing with me, his attention will be all on me. At 12:00 you will murder that girl while I dance with Yuu"
