Chapter 24 [Uncontrollable Shame]
You
"Chuuya!"
Despite your confusion as to why he flung you into the tree in that manner, you pushed him out of the way. You could feel the enormous burst of air from the tree nearly striking your face.
Chuuya
"..."
You
"Chuuya, what's up with you?! Are you okay?!"
You observed these odd red marks all over Chuuya's face as he lifted his head from gazing down. Not just on his face, but also on his body.
You
I get it...
It all made sense now, why the boulder could be blasted with such strength, and why Chuuya had begged you to leave him there. He had intended to unleash Corruption the minute he saw the boulder.
You
I've... I've got to get out of here!...
You released your grip on Chuuya's wrist and began running in random directions once more. Chuuya wasn't even coming after you from behind, but he was flinging these bizarre-looking orbs that were knocking down the trees. While rushing through this tangled, congested forest, you did your best to avoid the trees.
Chuuya's pace, on the other hand, was unrivalled, causing the trees to fall in tandem. You were hit by one of the trees and had no way of getting out of this. Chuuya continued to demolish the forest, and for once, you wished Dazai had been present.
You were absolutely out of it, you could see stars all over the place. You had no idea what you were doing. The smashing sounds were muted, and your vision was severely impaired.
-MEANWHILE, STILL IN THE FOREST-
Dazai
"Y/N!"
Kunikida
"Dazai, get back here! You're gonna get crushed by the trees!"
Dazai
"Whatever! I just need to find Chuuya, then I can stop this!"
Dazai could see two individuals moving about from a distance. Both of them were battling and struggling.
Dazai couldn't believe what he'd just seen as he could plainly see the two individuals fighting.
Dazai
"What is..."
Atsushi
"Dazai! Don't you think we should stop them?!"
Kunikida
"Atsushi... Can't you see what condition the two of them are in?... I don't think there's a possible chance for Dazai to even get near them!"
These three had just stood there horrified, watching Chuuya and you seize each other by the necks.
Dazai
"This is... It scares me how Y/N's ability alone is equal to Chuuya's Corruption."
Your ability was at work while you were unconscious. It attacked Chuuya because it was unrestrained. He fought back, despite Chuuya's uncontrollable state. Nobody was winning the fight, your abilities were equal.
Atsushi
"Well, we have to do something! They'll end up killing each other if this goes on, and it'll cause trouble in Yokohama!"
Dazai dashed toward the fight scene while under pressure. He barely managed to avoid two hits before being tossed out. After such an overpowering force, Atsushi and Kunikida caught him before he could be tossed into the woods. He was able to place his hand on your shoulder while still near you, which was a relief.
Dazai
"Shit!"
Kunikida
"What?!"
Dazai had placed his hands on your shoulder, deactivating your ability, but he hadn't had the time to do the same with Chuuya. Chuuya had become more powerful than you, or more like you were drained of power.
You awoke, taken aback because all you saw was Chuuya throwing his fist against you. You could duck, but not as well as you could normally dodge anything like that. You were fatigued and feeble.
Chuuya was already near you when you opened your eyes, smashing you to the ground and squeezing your neck as firmly as he could.
that's pretty kinky chuuya
this is supposed to be sad, the author will now be taking his leave
You
"... Chuuya!..."
You put your hands on his in anguish, trying to pry them off your neck. With each passing second, you were losing your breath. Your eyesight was foggy at times, but you could see Chuuya's terrifying face when it was clear. His pupils were dilated to the point of rupture, those red marks all over his face, and his smile frightened you. You were terrified.
Terrified of him.
Dazai
"That's enough! You two are comrades, are you not?!"
Dazai gripped Chuuya's wrist tightly. Chuuya had only comprehended what he was doing a few seconds after Dazai had deactivated Chuuya's ability.
Atsushi
"I didn't know that something like this would've happened... Was it really okay to hire someone like that?..."
The boulder that landed in the forest was an attack carried out by the agency. They'd hired someone new to take your place.
Chuuya
What am... What am I doing?...
Chuuya glanced at his shaking, scarred hands as you wheezed and gasped for air. You coughed a few times, curled up on the ground, and held your own throat. Chuuya gave you the most distressed look he'd ever given you.
Chuuya took a brief glance around.
Chuuya
"... Did I do this?..."
He then looked at you again. As the horrible revelation reached him, tears welled up in his eyes.
After a few moments of trying to clear the pain in your throat, you grabbed a fallen tree to assist you to stand up. You took hesitant steps forward, looking for an exit. You no longer wanted to be there. You didn't want to say anything at all. You couldn't, your throat was burning.
Chuuya was sitting on his knees on the leaves, looking down at his hands. He was still stunned by his own actions.
-PORT MAFIA HEADQUARTERS-
Chuuya mustered the courage to stand and walk back home. He really wanted to speak with you about the issue. He had a long walk, but he finally arrived.
Chuuya
"... Y/N?... Are you here?"
He asked, sounding as though he was going to burst into tears again. He checked in every room and couldn't find you.
Chuuya
Y/N will come back eventually... I hope. All their stuff is still here.
Chuuya was exhausted and hoped you would return home and he washed up. He went to bed early that night, despite not drinking.
-THE NEXT MORNING, CHUUYA'S DORM, PORT MAFIA HEADQUARTERS-
Chuuya awoke, recalling everything from the day before. This time, he didn't wake up to the fragrance of pancakes and the sound of dishes being washed. He was aware that something was wrong.
Chuuya
What do I say?...
Chuuya hoped that you'd be there as usual. It was still early in the morning, so he assumed that was why he hadn't sensed these things. His hand was resting on the doorknob of his room, which leads to the kitchen and living area.
Chuuya
They'll be there... They'll be resting on the couch, where they'd always been.
Chuuya cautiously turned the doorknob and opened it, his eyes focused on the couch.
