Absolute Duo Vol 5 Chapter 3

“Kuh………….”

It has been a few days after the battle with <<k>>; I woke up from the sharp headache.</k>

……….Well, I only knew this fact a little later from now.

(I-is this…….the medical building……..)

This isn’t something I am proud off but, I knew this immediately because I often come here.

That’s why immediately understanding that I am alive through that is just a little ironic.

At that time----

<<k>> collapsed after I slashed him with the <<soul>>.</soul></k>

Immediately after, the security guards showed up as if they were waiting for that moment.

I realized that the battle ended with that event happening and Julie calling my name was the last thing I remember before everything went blank; this is my current state.

“I am really sorry……err, I jumped in reflex because I was happy…….”

“J-Ja---……..”

While patting her head, I remembered something about Julie.

The weird phenomenon that happened in the fight with <<k>>---</k>

Just like what happened during the seaside school, a high-pitched sound was coming out from Julie.

What’s more, there’s a sound of something breaking and the <
