Chapter 52 (Miriâs POV)âRead translated stories and daily updates at: Awebstories.com
It was like a long, long dream.
I forgot everything. I was very close to Charlotte-onesama, and Onesama was very kind to me, so I felt very comfortable and happy.
But it is all fake.
While I forgot everything, I learned many things.
What to do and what not to do.
To live, common sense is required.
And human kindness.
Now that I know these things, I canât stand it.
Because I know that what I have done so far is too big and I am ashamed of it.
Up until the other dayâI was, in a word, nothing more than an animal.
At least, I think I was a lowly being who only took the form of a human being.
My words, my gestures, my actions⦠I canât stand to look at any of them.
What?
Have I always lived like this?
This is more embarrassing than living naked!
And on top of that, how could I have brought so much shame on Charlotte-onesama?
Why was Onesama so kind to me?
Because I ruined Onesamaâs wedding.
I want to die.
I want to die.
I want to die.
I want to die.
I want to die.
I want to dieâ¦
Somebody blow my head off.
Someone cut off my head.
Iâm ashamed to be alive.
Itâs hell to live in such shame.
Iâve known about it for a long time.
Memory loss wasnât the only thing I didnât know about.
I knew that my inability to go out was because I had done something wrong.
But the reality was far more than I could ever have imagined.
I canât take it anymore. I want to strangle myself.
Iâm in pain.
Iâm in painâ¦
My heart is in agony, and Iâm so sorry.
I really want to disappear.
Please kill me.
God, please punish me.
âMi, Miri, are you okay?! Does your head hurt? Should I call a doctor?!â
âNo, please donât! Please donât speak so kindly to me! Iâm not worth itâ¦!â
Charlotte-onesama looks at me with a worried face.
Please leave me alone. Donât be nice to people like me.
Why didnât Onesama cut me off?
Why didnât she just throw me in jail?
âWhat are you saying all of a sudden?!â
âIâve caused Onesama so much trouble, I donât deserve to live. So please leave me aloneâ¦!â
âWhatâ?! Miri⦠Your memoryâ¦?â
Onesama looks at me and seems to know that my memory has returned.
Onesama, do you understand?
How ashamed am I that I remember my actions?
One way or another, I must dieâ.
I-I think there was a bottle of poisonous water in my room that was set up in case a rat got out.
If I drink it all at onceâ.
âMiri, what are you doing? Is thatâ!?â
âOnesama, Thank you for everythingâ¦â
âMiri! Stop it! Miri!â
I gulp down the liquid in the bottle.
A~ah. Iâm slowly losing consciousness.
Finally, thank you very much. Charlotte-onesama.
For being so kind to me.
Iâm sorry for the trouble Iâve caused youâ.
âââââ
ââ¦I-Iâm still alive, arenât I?â
âMiri! Youâre such an idiot!â
When I woke up, Charlotte-onesama had tears in her eyes and she was yelling at me.
Oh, I canât help but feel grateful that she is angry with me now.
However, I wonder what the logic is behind my being safe after taking the poisonâ¦
âI could predict that when Miri-sama regained her memory, she would surely want to die. So I gave her a bottle of sleeping pills, telling her they were poison. to calm her down.â
You are Anna.
Anna gave me the poison to kill the rats, didnât she?
I couldnât die, could I? But the desire to die hasnât gone away at allâ.
