The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me - V3 Chapter 1

Volume 3 Chapter 1

“Look at you. You seem so happy.”

That ominous voice entered my ears. Meanwhile, my body was frozen on my bed, as if it was turned into stone.

Clank clank.

I knew it. I figured he’d show up tonight.

“You haven’t forgotten about our contract, have you?”

The black mass peered into my motionless face. I could barely see an afro as its black eyes drew me in like a bottomless swamp.

Shinigami.

“You’ve been living a good life lately, haven’t you, Yuuma-kun? You got along well with your fake parents, you even got yourself a cute girlfriend now…But, is it really okay for you to keep living like that?”

I gritted my teeth.

He didn’t need to tell me all those things. From the beginning, I had been wallowing in self-hatred because of the things that I had done.

Why did I confess my feelings to Suzuno?

“I pity Suzuno-san.”

He shrugged his shoulders in an exaggerated manner.

“Imagine falling in love with someone who’s about to die soon. Can you imagine her sadness if she were to suddenly find out about it?”

Shut it. I knew that fact more than anyone else.

I knew that I would disappear from her life soon. I knew that I was someone who should be forgotten.

There was no need for me to become a special existence to her. I should only be a part of the crowd around her.

No matter how much I liked her, loved her… No matter how much I hated the thought that she belonged to another person…

I should have never become her lover.

“Don’t forget about the future I’ve told you. You’re fated to die to protect Suzuno-san. That’s the only reason why I brought you back to life, do you get that?”

I know. You don’t need to remind me of that!

“Stop fooling around already. Remember, if you don’t die in her place, it’s Suzuno-san who will die.”

Right, there were only two options available for me.

Either Suzuno died. Or I died protecting her.

Don’t worry. I’ll definitely save her.

“I wish you good luck. By the way, Yuuma-kun, I’m looking forward to our meeting in the sky-blue train again. You might not be aware of this, but I love you, Yuuma-kun.”

What a disgusting thing to say to me.

Seeing him smirk made me feel a tremendous amount of disgust for the first time in my life.

I knew that I should be thanking him for everything.

He saved me from my mother’s attempt of double sui**de back when I was seven. He gave me the mission to protect Suzuno’s life. Thanks to him, I was able to live this long.

But…

My anger toward him ignored logic.

After all, he put a curse on me.

F**k.

Why do I have to die?

Why do I have to obediently follow his words and die?!
