It was often said that āIt is no use crying over spilt milkā. Most of the failures in the world are realized after such mistakes were committed, but at the same time, they often notice it by the time itās too late.
It may be a common story that a single careless remark can cause a tremendous situation. However, itās hard to describe the feeling of despair when you are the victim of such an incident.
Humans are beings who regret. We look back at the past and thinkā¦ā¦ That perhaps, if only I had done thisā¦ā¦ If only I had known about thatā¦ā¦
Iām not a God. Being a mere mortal, thereās no way for me to go back in time, but I still wonderā¦ā¦ if somehow, I can redo that mistakeā¦ā¦
As I ponder upon the unchanging past, I ask myself for the umpteenth timeā¦ā¦ Why did this happen?
[Whatās the matter, my beloved child? Are you pondering about things?]
[I see, now that we have this opportunity, letās take a āprivate strollā to our hearts content.]
[ā¦ā¦Youāreā¦ā¦ right.]
She smiles like an angel, she looks like an angelā¦ā¦ but why does she look like a predator that couldnāt help herself from drooling?
Her tone was polite and seemingly kindā¦ā¦ but why is her madness thatās usually hidden oozing outā¦ā¦
In the first placeā¦ā¦ Seriouslyā¦ā¦ I donāt know how many times Iāve asked why this happened, but I really regretted my careless remarks.
It all started just a while ago. It was the usual tea party with Eden-san, who appears about five times a week. I was thinking that it was just a day like any other.
Fifteen minutes had passed, and she was almost past Rampage Phase 2, so I thought I would send a signal to Kuro and end the tea party just like usual.
If I had to describe itā¦ā¦ I think I was ācarelessā at that time. Even though Eden-san was the most dangerous person I knew, I thought that I had already established a standard flow when interacting with her.
Thatās why I had peace of mindā¦ā¦ thinking that it would be the same this timeā¦ā¦ that today would just be like alwaysā¦ā¦ It is often in such situations that irregularities occur.
[My beloved child, Mother has traveled around this world and found places that I somehow liked.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ Places Eden-san liked huh, Iām slightly curious. What kind of place is it?]
[There are a couple of places, one of them is a pretty scenic island. Large, but not very inhabited. Itās a place of natural beauty, different from the beauty that has been maintained and managed by someone.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ That sounds great. Since Eden-san likes it, it must be quite a nice place.]
While talking like that with a smile, I focused on Eden-sanās condition, which would soon be out of control, rather than the content of our conversation. Eden-san is talking fast, but the smile on her face wasnāt the deep one filled with madness yet, so from what Iāve seen so far, she should be okay for a while longer.
[Yes, I was thinking of showing it to my beloved child.]
[That sounds great, Iād like to see it.]
What I had in mind in this situation was sending magic power to the necklace to contact Kuro in advance when Phase 3ās deep smile appears. I wasnāt fully focused on our conversationā¦ā¦ That was my first mistake.
[Well then, why donāt we go around the places Iāve found today?]
[Yeah, I donāt really have any plans today, so itās alrā¦ā¦ Eh?]
And there, my second and fatal mistake. While half-heartedly replying to Eden-sanās words, I declared that āI donāt have any plans todayāā¦ā¦
[That settles it then. Fufu, to be going out with my beloved child, Iām really looking forward to it.]
[Eh? Ahhhā¦ā¦ I- I guess so.]
By the time I realized my mistake, I couldnāt revise my words anymore. In Eden-sanās mind, it was already decided that she would be going out with me, so what would happen if I said that we should just not goā¦ā¦ Thinking about it frightens me.
Moreover, even if I were to refuse now, Iāve already told her that I donāt have any plans, and against the mind-reading Eden-san, I wouldnāt be able to make a good reason.
And above all, it was my fault for not concentrating on the conversation properly, and even though it was a half-hearted reply, I had already agreed to her, so I couldnāt bring myself to stop now.
In other wordsā¦ā¦ I had no choice but to prepare myself for the incoming situation.
As a result of these two failures, Iāve been forced into a situation where Iām not sure whatās going to happen, āstrolling with Eden for a dayā, and my heart is filled with anxiety.
N- No, thereās a possibility that she will go on a rampage soon and weāll have to call it a nightā¦ā¦ U- Unnnā¦ā¦ T- Things should work outā¦ā¦ I hopeā¦ā¦ but I wonder whyā¦ā¦ I donāt think thatās going to happen.
