Chapter 136 – Volume 28 – Fire to the Future (1)
The phrases written in the letter in each ending were telling different stories.
Putting the stories together, the content that bothered me for some reason was to be completed.
First of all, the ‘letter’ said that it would be possible to save Nozomi, so the letter was important.
It was said that there was something in the letter that erased the contents, but the story about ‘Zets’, a curse that tried to kill Nozomi, really bothered me.
In other words, the curse is preventing him from saving Nozomi with the letter by erasing the contents of the letter.
“And, of course, there is a phrase that says that the curse is cold and can be purified by burning it with fire.”
In fact, it was difficult to understand what it meant when I only saw it this far.
Then, she noticed that when she said to burn, she really meant to burn something in her.
Coincidentally, it was because of the burning scented candles that I had additionally purchased this time.
She realizes why she was selling scented candles instead of anything else.
“There is a curse involved in the letter. In other words, the letter is invisible because the curse dwells in the letter!”
Doesn’t that mean that if you burn the curse, you can see the letter?
So she was also selling scented candles to use to burn the curse.
It is not necessary to use scented candles, but on the contrary, there is no reason to sell scented candles together.
As soon as she got to that point, she held the book so well that only the letter portion at the beginning of the book was revealed.
As she held the part of the letter to the scented candle, she began to burn it little by little.
Then, a part of her burned quickly from the point where it shouldn’t have burned yet.
She confirmed that the burned part was becoming the shape of a letter.
“Wow…!”
And when she’s done with it.
I could see that a large page was displayed on the stationery.
She quickly realized that it was telling her to go to that page.
As soon as she saw the first page she checked, she was amazed.
“Letter…!”
There was a letter confirming the letter whose content could not be erased.
Letter remembers that she’s been doing it over and over again, and she starts looking for ways to save her Nozomi from the start.
Not only is it progressing in a completely different flow than before, but in a situation where even the options are all different.
She finally realized that something was changing in her.
‘You can do it.’
She’s gone through a time where she never thought she was making progress.
Now that she has finally arrived here she has crossed one wall.
Of course, we should move on to the next one and save Nozomi.
Of course, the basic flow of the work of meeting and falling in love with Nozomi remained the same.
Letter’s behavior towards him has changed a lot.
Letter, who always received love and healing, had changed into a reliable person who wanted to do more for Nozomi until she died.
“It should be.”
The completely changed eyes of the letter and her mindset in choosing the options for that letter were serious.
She carefully selected each and every one to get the information she needed to save Nozomi.
And the two focused on burning the curse, one of the things they got at the end of that information.
“I got here by burning the curse on the letter. It’s certain that ‘Zets’ are weak against fire.”
So he found a magic that only burns curses, and tried to use it to save Nozomi.
But it failed, and as soon as the curse found out, it burned Nozomi to death in retaliation.
Reaching the ending where Nozomi burns in front of them, the two repeat the story again while gritting their teeth.
“Fail again in the end…”
At least there was a way to alleviate the curse, so I tried it.
Again, Nozomi had a heart attack, putting her in a dangerous state due to the curse.
Somehow she managed to massage her heart, but she will probably die in the next seizure.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry Letter.”
“Why are you sorry? Why are you!」
“Is it me? The fact that you always seemed to be having a hard time was actually all because of me.”
“No, Nozomi. It’s because of the curse that I’m having a hard time, Nozomi, not because of you… It’s not…”
“If I asked you to forget me, would it be too cruel? If I ask them to give up on me, will it be a bad bitch?”
“If you know, be quiet. Will never save Never, I will never give up.”
“Fool…”
Nozomi says that she often has strange dreams for some reason.
A dream in which a letter appears that is more delicate and fragile than anyone else, rather than a cool and strong letter as it is now.
A dream in which Letter hugs himself and cries like he does now.
“Hey, Letter. Sorry. I’m sorry for bothering you with Letter.”
“Do not be sorry. There’s nothing wrong with you…!”
“Kuh, keuh… That, and… Love, love…”
She thinks something will change, and she scrambles to get information and change it.
The ending still hasn’t changed.
She and Letter bury another Nozomi’s death just like that.
She received a new letter and started following.
She knew that she was slowly getting tired.
Because of Nozomi, who always greeted her with a smile, she couldn’t give up and continued to challenge herself.
“If only Nozomi can be saved, only Nozomi…”
She began to immerse herself in books, to the point of becoming almost obsessive.
Meanwhile, Letter learns that she can transfer curses to her own body.
Therefore, she came to the conclusion that she could save Nozomi by dying herself, not Nozomi.
“Rather, it’s better for Nozomi to live than for me.”
In case Nozomi doesn’t feel uncomfortable when she’s not around, she’s got all the things she’ll need for the future and put them away.
Get all the things you need to move her curse and meet the end.
Originally, at the timing when Nozomi should have died, he succeeded in actually removing her curse.
“Yeah, I’d rather be like this…”
‘Zets’ strangle Letter, not Nozomi.
Nozomi cries and says no, and Letter mutters that it’s good to see that.
Even as she sees the situation completely changed, she thinks that this is a better ending.
“Fool. Worm… Really, really… Stupid…”
That was the moment when she was careless that everything was over.
Originally, the story should have ended there, but Nozomi, who found her letter, took out her pen and held it.
That is, by turning back time, she was going to make all of this happen.
“No no!”
But Letter, who had already died, could not stop Nozomi.
Something about her started to change because of the letter from Nozomi.
Because, at the same time as collecting the ending, it was written to go directly to a specific page.
She was very nervous, but she couldn’t break the rules, so she opened the book.
She gritted her teeth when she saw Letter living without knowing anything, not receiving the letter there.
With Nozomi sending her letter, the letter that she had previously received memories and information through her letter disappeared.
Instead, what changed a little was Nozomi’s appearance.
No matter how sacrificial and charming she was, in many ways, she wasn’t her personality to do whatever she wanted.
She was obsessively pouring her all into Letter, as if she had to be now.
“Nozomi got the letter.”
She couldn’t have imagined that her situation would change in this way, so she forced herself to turn her page, holding back her embarrassment.
At the end, Nozomi dies because she couldn’t overcome her curse…
“Ah?”
“Letter?”
“Fuuu, I finally found it.”
Just when I thought it was all over.
Letter, who had regained her memories, appeared with her stationery in hand.
Then he set a powerful spark on her stationery, and began to burn her stationery.
“When Nozomi was burned, wouldn’t ‘Zetsu’ be burned? Actually, she was kind of weird. It was true that fire was a weakness.”
What if that wasn’t actually the case, because it wasn’t the main body?
What if the main body of the curse wasn’t in Nozomi’s body?
As he transferred her curse from Nozomi’s body, he felt that something in her was lacking a lot, and because of that, he realized that this strange part was an important key.
“If it were possible to hide the body, it would be hidden in a place where I would never be able to get rid of it.”
Even the curse knew that Letter was repeating time with letters and trying to get rid of himself.
That’s why I did something to make the contents of the letter invisible.
And actually, at that time, the letter had a curse on it, so the function of the letter was restored by lightly burning it.
“Leave the function of the letter as it is, so of course I was deceived that you didn’t touch it. Indeed, ‘Zets’ must have been obsessed with this thing all along. I will never destroy this.”
Pass’s!
A black mist that shouldn’t have come out sizzled up from the stationery as it burned.
In the end, they succeeded in erasing the curse by burning all the paper.
“Seriously, in the midst of that, you’re being reckless too. Write a letter from there and come back.”
“Letter…”
“I won’t be angry. It’s not like I don’t know you’re that kind of guy anyway. Rather, it must be my fault for letting you make that choice…”
“Letter…!”
“Yes, yes… That’s right.”
It must have been very difficult for Nozomi to burst into tears in Letter’s arms.
The time between the two did not stop with curses and burned until the end and reached the 8th ending.
“After…”
It was only after she slowly savored the touching scene.
Collected the final ending, ‘Ending 8: Flames for the Future’.
And while looking at the collected explanations without much thought, she found that instead of the letter, there was an explanation to remove the sticker on the back page where the letter should have been.
“…What else?”
She was a little nervous and tore off the sticker where it was explained.
