"That's right, just point it at me," she raised her fairess making the woman in front of her tighten her grip on the Abyss handle and immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation, the woman ran and dodged the bullet.
I almost screamed when the bullet almost hit my face if it wasn't for Zenius pulling me closer quickly. "It looks like you ran away," he commented, his arm still around my shoulder, "the important thing is not to become a zombie, right?" I said.
He smirked.
I looked forward again like a spectator at an MMA or similar match because the two women were already touching each other's fists, "wake up, you idiot!" she grabbed the groaning Francesca by the collar, her hands limply trying to lift her revolver.
Her partner immediately put away the gun and cornered the woman against a tree, "do you know that the stupid things you do could endanger other people?!"
"You have the heart to watch them die brutally?" Francesca screamed, I could see the sadness radiating from her traveler partner, the woman with waist-length blonde hair threw Francesca away and rubbed her face roughly. "Then what do you do if they become undead and mess everything up," she said in an emotional voice.
Francesca's face looked confused, "...you don't even know the solution, you are disrupting the work of other divisions because of your naivety, what will Miss Arthur say."
"They could have died in other ways..."
"What? froze to death because of the storm? before they were buried in the storm they would have massacred the townspeople, undead were much more terrifying, Francesca..." her voice trembled. I looked at Zenius who seemed to be staring straight as if he already knew this would happen, I opened Keeper and found nothing about this incident, what did I miss? And surprisingly this man didn't brag about having to ensure their death in the locker, "you don't go there?" I asked in the end, he glanced briefly, "you said it was clear," that short answer made my heart beat, he trust me.
I looked back at Francesca who this time was pulling her friend's hair, is this what a fight between women is like... they both didn't use weapons but i saw many bruises on their bodies because of the physical strength of spirits.
I really wanted to intervene because they were fighting like children but I didn't think it was necessary and Zenius also seemed to be just observing. "Why are you being like this!" the traveler screamed, they then jumped back to give them some distance, Francesca moved her hand and the Abyss was visible and the tip looked forward.
"Why won't you shoot?" she asked, her fairess was lying far away but she didn't look like she wanted to pick it up, she stood straight as if waiting.
Francesca seemed to be shaking with an expression that I can't explain in detail but it was clear she was doubtful. "SHOOT IDIOT!"
BANG!
The bullet deflected and hit the blonde woman's right shoulder, she hissed, "Why not my head?" Francesca shook until Abyss just slipped from her grasp, "can't you?"
She seemed to be deliberately provoking her, I still don't understand what she was after.
"Your doubts..." the woman's eyes were now filled with tears, "you know I love you, right..." she put on a big smile, Francesca fell with her knees as support, her hands were shaking, what was going on?
Zenius moved his hand and immediately opened the locker. I looked at him and looked forward alternately.
Her left hand moved as if calling and the fairess flew to meet the call, she gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands which were also shaking, blood seeped from the wound.
"I really hope you're not like this, Francesca..."
"You no longer deserve to be a goddess spirit," she stepped closer to Francesca who slowly raised her head, they looked at each other, "your heart is dead," said Francesca. "Your heart... is dead," she repeated Francesca's words with a dark look, she moved her sword from left and right quickly.
Francesca's head separated from her body and then fell forward.
I widened my eyes, shocked, super shocked, she actually cut off her friend's head?!
I looked at Zenius who stepped forward towards the woman who had taken off her Fairess and was squatting in front of Francesca's head while crying.
"You are Yehessy Thassel?"
The woman looked up and smiled softly, "I see... it already knows," her eyes glanced at Zenius' hand which was scribbling on the page with a quill.
"That means I can see her again," she sighed in relief even though her eyes were still shaking.
I was speechless, I was confused by the fast-moving events that were happening in front of me.
I moved closer to them with a look of confusion but also shock.
"What happened?" I asked.
The woman named Yehessy then looked down again, "we should have only finished the small incident of a farmer dying from the cold, but Francesca was curious about the sequel and found the wolves who looked hungry and wanted to destroy the story timeline after feeling that what she was doing was not in accordance with her conscience."
"If only she had realized and apologized then I would have just dragged her to Miss Arthur, but she looked stubborn and showed her potential to become a Clowner in the future."
Zenius closed his locker and the two objects disappeared from his hands, he sighed, "is she your first partner?"
"Yeah, we're still new," she then looked up again with swollen eyes.
I looked at the blood that continued to seep out, "are you okay?" I asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Orchid," she smiled faintly even though her body didn't stop shaking. I was confused about what expression to express now, that woman without hesitation beheaded her own partner, my body shuddered at the thought of a man next to me doing the same thing in the future.
