Follow the Script

Chapter 11

...After knowing what it feels like to lose everyone close to them, Y/N could only sympathize with the witch and that was the reason he didn't want to hurt her even more during his battle. With that hurdle done, he decided to leave another task in his mind.

Y/N's mind: If my plan succeeds, I could also bring her back along with everyone else, it would be like nothing happened.

Yes, they won't forgive him for killing her but he would have been kind enough to bring her back. Knowing that it could almost fix the sin that he had committed, he smiled and followed the girl outside.

Koishi: So where are we going?

Y/N: Let's go get the ores, demons should live nearby since many of them tried to enter the library.

Koishi: I know a good way to get there, follow me!

The guide walking forward, she left the duo on their own next to the door. The librarian turned around, closed the door and followed her steps. He was soon followed by a second pair of footsteps, someone silently following the man.

With a piece of her outside of the library, it was like she never died. The shrine maiden that was nothing more than a delusion sighed at the sight of the man who defeated her falling into such a deep state.

Y/N's mind: I'm sorry Reimu, nobody would want to leaving a friend in pain behind.

He was set on giving the shrine maiden a second chance as well, to bring a small amount of joy in the life of those that were destroyed by his hands. Maybe, just maybe, after knowing that his plan worked, he would be able to close his eyes without any regrets.

...

During that time, a feeble figure finally emerged from the caverns. It was a girl with long blond hair wearing a blindfold covered with tears and a dress made of the prettiest night sky to exist. Losing her way of transportation, it took her longer to exit the caverns but she finally did emerged to the sunlight.

Marisa: Reimu...

Quietly sobbing, her tears were beginning to dry due to the sunlight, leaving new ones to fall down her face and replace them. Her Mini-Hakkero destroyed along with her broom, she lost everything in that library and was left with only tears to shed.

She ran as far as she could, crying over the loss of everything she had and the death of her friend. She was the reason for everything, just because she wanted to have a peek at what that invitation was saying. The culprit was her and nobody else, yet she couldn't accept it, she wanted to pulverize the ones that eliminated the shrine maiden but it was her emotions telling her to do so.

...Her feet kept going forward to a destination that even she didn't know. She didn't care about where she was going, she just wanted everything to end, to see this farce stop once and for all. She wanted to wake up and see that Reimu was still well, greeting her with her gloomy expression while calling her a troublemaker.

???: Marisa?

Someone's voice pierced her cries and her sobs were swallowed. Unable to see with her eyes whilestill  having a full control of her sight like she could see, she raised her head and saw the familiar houses surrounding her and many people were staring in her direction.

Marisa: ...

Standing in her way, a woman with a blue dress, dark shoes with a red bow on each of them and elegant long blue hair was watching her with a worried expression. Crouching by her side, the woman observed the transformed monster of regret with wide eyes, unable to understand what happened.
