Part 97: Episode 89: Yuuya, Sakuya

Ahaha… We had… a deal. Of course, he broke it without a second thought…


The doctor and I… did not kill her. That is the truth.
B-but then why did he--
She died… in this room. After school, yesterday. That… is also the truth.
Then there was someone else?
Yes… Right as always, Sakuya.
And that third person killed Goon…? Who was it!?

…I think… you’ll figure it out…
I have to… apologize to you. The doctor and I were the ones who cut her up.
……!
So you stuffed her into those boxes…?
It was… the time. The doctor needed to be sure of when she’d be found.

The most humans? Why would…?

…Looks like I’ve stayed on the fence to the very end. I didn’t have the resolve to go either way…
If only things… had been a little different…
*cough* *cough*
I-I thought you said you’d be fine!
Are you… worried for me? I’m honored…
Could you… go outside for a bit, Ryouta…? We’ll go to the maintenance office afterwards…

I left the room without hesitation. I’m sure the two of them had plenty they needed to talk about right now.






















You’re… the same as me, Sakuya. We were never half-brothers… You are my real brother.
Im… impossible…! I am the heir of the Le Bel family…! Father told me so! Everyone told me so…! I was raised for no other purpose…
I never told anyone… that I’d switched the eggs. If father found out now, he’d throw you away…
I did it for you… No, maybe I didn’t. Maybe I just did it to spite that man… I killed the child he had with mother.

Y-you… under what authority…!
Ahaha… None. You’re right, I only ever listen to myself.
…But then the doctor noticed. He must have realized…
I guess I was doing what he said all along… since I took your lineage.

If you’re blamed for that child’s death, you have to press on…
…You can’t let it stop you.
I always worried… about whether I should tell you or not… and now it’s too late.
So…
F-fool…! To deny me my lineage now…!
I’m sorry, Sakuya… I should have told you long ago… I was never as sure of myself as you…
If… If I am not of the Le Bel line… What am I…?
I knew you’d ask that. Straightforward, as always… Ahaha.
Leave this place, Sakuya. And… think about it, long and hard.

No! Wait, Sakazaki! Stay with me! There is still much for you to tell me…!
Haha, it’s been a long time since we talked this much. I talked to you every day, when you were still an egg…
Pull yourself together, Yuuya! You can’t leave like this! You said a little scalpel like that couldn’t kill you!

You mean that scalpel had…!?
Go on, Sakuya… Leave your liar brother, and go… The doctor must have a way… out of here…

Later… buddy…
