Chapter 125: Tensyoin Miyuki's Determination

The scene transitions to the rooftop of a certain research institute.

"He really went through a lot of trouble," Heartless sighed helplessly.

"This method is despicable. How could he stoop so low and resort to such tricks?" Tensyoin Miyuki trembled with anger as she voiced her accusation.

To this, Heartless dismissed it with disdain.

"Despicable? Even if it is, so what?"

"..."

The girl couldn't find the words to express her indignation.

"Alright, senpai, it's time for you to come to your senses. That guy is finished," Heartless said, trying to convince her.

However, Tensyoin Miyuki still refused to give up.

"Where is the antidote... where is it?"

She whispered these words so softly.

"Antidote? Even if there is one, what difference does it make?"

"Then hand over the antidote."

In the face of Tensyoin Miyuki's demand, Heartless paid no attention.

"Hand it over? Senpai, have you lost your mind? You are temporarily unable to use your abilities, so why should I listen to you? Besides, nothing comes for free in this world, you should know that. If I hand it over, what do you plan to offer as exchange?"

"..."

Yes, nothing in this world comes without a cost. What does she have left to offer as an exchange?

But she couldn't give up like this. She couldn't accept the fact that he would die. Just the thought of him dying made her tremble uncontrollably, filling her with despair and panic. This was the one thing she feared the most.

No, no matter what, she had to save him.

With that in mind, the girl's mouth opened without conscious thought.

"As a price... I will assist you in your plan."

She was shocked herself by the words she had spoken, but now that she had regained her composure, she had no intention of taking them back.

"Oh..."

Heartless showed a surprised expression.

"Senpai, you actually agreed. That's perfect, but senpai, do you really understand what you're saying? It's the PC plan we're talking about, the plan to manipulate people and rule this country. Weren't you always against it?"

"..."

Horrible memories flashed in her mind once again. She tried her best to suppress them, but she couldn't. Her body trembled uncontrollably.

Yes, she hated that plan to the core. And now she was saying she would assist it. What was she saying?

In her heart, she cursed herself for hating it so much.

So many innocent lives would be lost again. Just the thought of it made her body shake uncontrollably.

But...

She couldn't let him die. That was the one thing she absolutely couldn't accept. She couldn't let that boy die.

For that... even if she had to bear the greatest of sins.

To watch him die...

That was the one thing the girl could never compromise on, no matter what.

Even if it would lead to the condemnation of everyone, even if it would cause the destruction of the world, I will not regret it.

Besides, my hands are already stained with blood. In the end, it is just a return to my old ways, something I should have long been accustomed to. And I know that I can no longer find redemption.

Anyway, it has come to this point. I have no value or courage to continue living. In this way, no matter what I endure, I won't feel anything because my heart has died long ago.

But if...

If someone as worthless as me, if my worthless life could save that person, then there is nothing to consider.

And so, the girl quietly made up her mind.
