Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Another Worldline

Basement, restraints, knife, the first time being forced to say I liked her...

Ichiko felt she would never forget this scene even if she died.

At that time, she thought Haruko wanted to hurt her, but the result was a shocking reversal.

Haruko actually confessed to her!

My childhood friend, sister, and best friend who grew up together, actually had a crush on me for over a decade?

After that, she revealed her hidden yandere personality, turning her peaceful life upside down.

Ichiko had thought more than once, what would her life be like if Haruko wasn’t a yandere?

Would she not have to bear this heavy love every moment?

"Having this kind of dream again, is it telling me that the only possible ending is that one?"

Haruko destroyed everything.

For herself.

However, to Ichiko’s surprise, when Haruko sat on the bed, she didn’t confess with red eyes like last time.

Instead, while crying in absolute despair, she raised the blade to execute a terrifying, desperate plan upon the dream Ichiko.

Ichiko watched this scene in disbelief, her pupils constricting.

Doesn’t Haruko like me?

Doesn’t she hate Sento?

Why is she attacking the me in the dream now, turning her weapon against my face? Does she want to destroy me?

If that’s the case, why is she crying so painfully?

The sharp edge left irreversible, cruel marks on her skin, and the dream Ichiko, restrained on the bed, screamed and struggled in agonizing pain.

However, Haruko didn’t stop, driven by a twisted, frantic determination.

She completely ruined her appearance, sealing her fate in that dark room.

But the tears she shed, and the torment on her face, were no less than the dream Ichiko’s.

Ichiko herself moved closer, only to hear Haruko constantly muttering.

"Sento likes your face, if I ruin your face, he definitely won’t keep bothering you."

"As long as you lose your beauty, he will definitely give up."

"This way you won’t get hurt because of Sento."

"I’m sorry Ichiko, no matter what you become in the future, I will always be by your side."

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."

The painful murmur on her lips made Ichiko recall the content of the previous dream.

Haruko had a strange dream and believed that Sento would definitely harm her, thus using various methods to obstruct him.

In this basement, this time she didn’t reveal her feelings like last time.

Nor did she become a yandere.

Instead, she went her own way using her own methods, somewhat clumsy, yet daring not to tell her.

This is a different ending from the last dream!

Ichiko immediately realized this, but then began to fear the content that followed.

How would Haruko, who treated her like this, be afterwards?

Before long, Sento’s bodyguard, Suit Man, arrived first.

He pushed Haruko aside, saving her while also allowing Haruko to escape through the secret door.

What happened after that?

Sento came, as angry at Haruko as ever, but unlike reality, in the dream, her appearance was already ruined, and she had fainted from the trauma.

In a blink of an eye, the dream came to the moment of waking up.

Sento said many bad things Haruko had done, stating that he would avenge her and definitely teach Haruko a lesson.

In the dream, she hesitated. She still believed that Haruko could be saved.

Maybe this time, it was just a deeper misunderstanding.

But the matters from a few months after the argument were not clarified, and Sento repeatedly urged her. The her in the dream didn’t know what to do and just told Sento not to hurt Haruko for now.

Sento was also obedient and told her various things about Haruko, saying that he had temporarily appeased Haruko and hadn’t done anything to her.

But she herself was right by Haruko’s side, completely unlike what Sento said.

To escape the pursuit of Sento’s subordinates, Haruko had nowhere to go home, either hiding in simple and dilapidated unmanned houses or under bridges.

But how could an ordinary person escape the omnipresent Sento?

There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and people searching everywhere.

Haruko even altered her own appearance drastically to evade pursuit, going out at night and hiding during the day. She couldn’t do anything, desperately trying to get into the Hospital one more time.

To see Ichiko, who had already woken up.

To tell Ichiko that Sento was very dangerous.

Can a person really be so fixated on a dream?

If it weren’t for Haruko’s interference, if she hadn’t seen Sento’s true nature in the snow, Ichiko would never have imagined that Sento would be such a person.

Just like now, she followed Sento as a bystander.

Just as Haruko said, her appearance was ruined, and without her looks, she was just an ugly duckling.

Sento chatted with people and made it clear he no longer liked her, but because of the existence of her father abroad, Sento still kept his focus on her.

Putting on a show of liking her.

And taking advantage of her time in the Hospital, he constantly slandered Haruko.

Fabricating various proofs that Haruko "hated" her, Ichiko.

Gradually, the Ichiko in the dream began to wake up.

And outside the dream, Ichiko, as a bystander, couldn’t believe that if Haruko hadn’t become a yandere, it would unfold like this.

"I would give up on Haruko because of Sento?"

"That’s absolutely impossible, right?"

Ichiko murmured, asking the self in the dream.

It was more like asking her current self.

Then, she fell silent.

Now, facing the already yandere Haruko, is she giving up?

She thought in silence, but the dream didn’t break.

After much effort, Haruko was covered in injuries. Without Ichiko, and constantly being pursued by Sento, she was like a stray dog by the roadside.

Anyone could kick her.

But she didn’t give up.

She wanted to see her Ichiko.

She wanted to apologize for what she did in the basement.

She wanted to tell Ichiko that Sento was really dangerous.

From Ichiko’s God’s perspective, Sento was undoubtedly a villain. He approached her because of her looks, and after her beauty was gone, he wanted to abandon her.

After investigating and discovering that her father abroad had some power, he put on a loving smile again, one face in front of people, another behind their backs.

In the dream, she was always in the Hospital and couldn’t contact Haruko at all. All her information came from Sento, and she rarely even saw Inari.

Finally, with unremitting effort, Haruko finally found an opportunity and crawled into the Hospital from the dirty sewer.

But she was not the protagonist after all.

But a cannon fodder who would inevitably meet death.

A character who continued the plot to pave the way for Ichiko.

A chess piece in the big hand of the world will.

Entering the Hospital, searching for Ichiko’s ward, with eagerness and anticipation, she was thus caught by Sento.

Intimidation, threats, inducement.

Sento gave Haruko a chance to see Ichiko, but if she dared to say anything out of line, he would stop Ichiko’s treatment, or even kill Ichiko!

Haruko was just an ordinary person, surviving until now by escaping Sento’s pursuit was already her limit.

She was truly scared.

Afraid that Sento would kill Ichiko.

Afraid that Ichiko would genuinely be with Sento without knowing the truth.

Afraid that Ichiko... would hate her.

And this was the only, and possibly the last, meeting.
