Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 Shock!

It's decided… They want to get rid of Sir Eisenberg.

Not only Liza and Sophie, but also Hänsel and Gretel…

But there's one problem… The Gift.

Hänsel: "…You can't defeat him."

Liza: "What?"

Sophie: "Hahh… That's what I said… Just give it up."

Gretel: "To defeat him… you have to be really careful… The Gift uses his claw-swords — those are blades that come straight out of his weapon… and you might think: 'Okay… just dodge'… But The Gift… as I said… he's not called that because he's poisonous… but because he works exactly like poison… Poison gets in, and by the time you notice, it's already over… That's how it is with The Gift… he's so fast… he can even keep up with a fast car… well… somewhat… not that fast…"

Hänsel: "If we want to defeat The Gift… we must be crazy… We wait until he leaves… He's often on the move… alright…"

Sophie: "I don't know."

Hänsel: "Are you scared or what?"

Sophie: "…I just… don't feel like going outside…"

Gretel: "What… why?"

Sophie: "Hmmmm…"

Hänsel: "What… so you are scared of someone!"

Sophie: "I'm not scared… of any human!"

She shouted and stood up.

Sophie: "I… am scared… of myself!"

Hänsel: "Huh?"

Sophie: "…Don't act like you don't know… Do you have any idea what I've done in these camps!? How many people I've killed… how many died because of me!… I'm a weapon!"

Liza: "No you're not… Besides… you didn't kill children or parents…"

Sophie: "That doesn't matter!… I'll help you… but then you go out there… without me…"

Liza: "Hmm…"

Sophie: "…I've had enough of people… I just want to finally be alone…"

Hänsel: "Oh… here we go again… You mean your parents… Let me guess… you're crazy and you see them… and they talk to you, right?"

Sophie: "…Shut up, Hänsel… or you'll be the last human I kill… and one more won't make a difference!"

She said, walking crookedly.

Hänsel: "Tsss…"

Liza: "It's okay… I'll talk to her…"

Hänsel: "It's insane how much of her you can tolerate…"

Liza: "…She saved my life."

Hänsel: "…Hahhh…"

(Meanwhile, with Sophie)

Sophie: "…(Bleargh!)…"

She vomited.

Sophie: "Hahhh… ghhhh… (Blearghh!)…"

(Sister!)

Sophie: "Huhh!"

She looked at the reflection — her sister was standing there.

Sophie: "…What do you want…"

Sophie's Sister: "…We're waiting… When will you finally become strong?"

Sophie: "I… am… strong!"

Sister: "You're not."

Sophie: "…Oh yeah? Then why are you dead and I'm alive? You… should just shut up."

Father: "Don't talk to your family like that, Sophie… Remember… naughty children are bad."

Sophie: "I am bad!… I've killed people… and I even… enjoyed it sometimes… I smiled!"

Mother: "You don't have to pretend to be strong, my child… We know how much you suffer… So come to us…"

Father: "…Then you could live with us again… We may be dead… but we can still be together… as ghosts…"

Sophie: "Tsss… I feel like I'm watching some dumb movie right now… Dad… just… stop… I'm not like you!… I'm alive!… still!… While you cowards are already dead… You're so damn annoying…"

Younger Brother: "Sis… That's not how you talk to your parents… I taught you that."

Sophie: "Oh… Simon… just shut up… You want to teach me something?… Aren't you the one who dropped his girlfriend when you were playing catch?… You said, 'Trust me'… and because of you… that woman is traumatized… and even became a lesbian… You must have a really tiny dick if a woman decides to become lesbian after you…"

Father: "…Watch your language, Sophie… That's not how a pretty woman talks."

Sophie: "Ah, damn it… Leave me alone already!"

Older Brother: "…Sis… your eyes… You'd better look in the mirror."

Sophie: "What, why!?"

(Splop!)

She saw blood dripping into her hands.

Sophie: "What…"

She looked in the mirror… From her eyes… a waterfall of blood was pouring out.

Sophie: "What… ugh…"

(Crash!)

She collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

(A few minutes later)

Hänsel: "Sophie!"

Liza: "Sophie!"

Sophie: "Ugh… what's going on…"

Hänsel: "Damn, we were so worried…"

Liza: "…hahh…"

Gretel: "Liza found you unconscious… Your eyes were bleeding…"

Hänsel: "The doctor said… too much stress… and probably because of your Human Sirus…"

Sophie: "Ahh… I feel so dizzy…"

Hänsel: "Better stay here… We'll take care of the rest…"

Sophie: "Please… if you do… then… I expect all of you to make it out alive… or I'll kill you."

Hänsel: "…If we're dead you can't kill us."

Sophie: "…That was ironic… damn it, Hänsel…"

Hänsel: "Hehe… Always time for a joke."

Gretel: "Hahh…"

They closed the door.

Sophie: "Ohhh… damn…"

(A few hours later)

Hänsel: "Hey, hey…"

Liza: "What…?"

Hänsel: "Come here."

Liza: "What is it?"

Hänsel: "The Gift… he's gone… this is our chance… Use your poison… Once we get him… everyone sleeps or dies… and he's ours."

Liza: "Okay. When's the meeting?"

(Ding! Ding!)

Hänsel: "Now."

Liza: "Couldn't you have said that earlier?"

Hänsel: "What? Huh?… I didn't know… Don't tell me you don't know how to use it…?"

Liza nodded.

Liza: "Well… kinda…"

Hänsel: "That should be enough… Come on."

They followed him to the meeting…
