My Curse? A Different Yandere in Every Reincarnation
Chapter 55: I promise to replace you

Chapter 55: I promise to replace you

"..." Rose and Azuli transform into magical girl form, as if they are preparing to fight if necessary.

"G-Guys, wait, I can explain, I swear, there’s an explanation for this," I say nervously, I’m too nervous to think clearly.

"Shizune, drop the knife," Azuli speaks coldly to me, Rose has a really bad look on her face seeing the scene.

"..." I’m still holding the knife, that’s why they’re so restrained in approaching.

"I-I’ll let go, I’ll put it on the table, okay," I carefully walk up to the table and gently place the knife, I can hear the splatter of blood when I step in Angelica’s blood pool, which only serves to terrify me more.

"Now step back," Azuli speaks, trying to remain calm in the situation, but it’s obvious to me that they are very angry, Rose’s gaze is as if she wants to strangle me right now.

I take a deep breath, trying to calm down to stop trembling as I step back from the knife and the body, for any of us it’s obvious that Angelica is dead, so they don’t even try to run to her.

There is a lot of blood on the floor and you can see several stab wounds, they all seem to have been made on pure impulse, as if the person had little notion of where to hit, so they just kept stabbing the knife without stopping.

Flora really thought of everything, she did it so well that I don’t see a way out.

"Hggn" Quickly Azuli appears behind me and knocks me to the ground while Rose goes to Angelica.

"H-Hey Azuli, I swear I didn’t do this, I can explain, it’s serious!"

"Shut up! Stay quiet, don’t say anything, I’ll take you to our base...we’ll talk later," she hits my neck with a blow, but it was considerably powerful, automatically knocking me unconscious.

...

...

...

"Azuli...are you okay," Rose asks me when she sees that I’m crying a lot over Angelica’s death.

Me and Rose were coming to Angelica’s house because we had to deliver one of her papers, she apparently forgot since she was with me and since it was important, we thought we’d come early.

"No...I don’t think I’m okay," I almost killed Shizune, honestly when I knocked her out I almost killed her right here.

But I’m sure Angelica wouldn’t want that, Professor Angelica cared a lot about Shizune and as a veteran magical girl, she taught us that we shouldn’t let anger take over.

Moreover, Shizune has a mental problem, we should have taken some safety measures related to that, it was our own recklessness, Angelica herself reported in the reports that Shizune was getting worse.

"What did you get from the analysis of the place?" I ask Rose, who was looking for all the clues since I’m not in the right mindset for that right now.

Shizune is lying there, completely unconscious, but the blood on her clothes makes everything so obvious that it only serves to sadden me.

"..." Rose is silent and takes a deep breath.

"Analyzing the crime scene...it becomes even more obvious that Shizune is guilty..."

"The knife has her DNA...Shizune also has some slight injuries from gripping or hitting as if someone had tried to defend themselves..."

"And there are signs of a slight struggle in the area where she was, Angelica’s hand is also slightly injured, probably from hitting something."

"Reconstructing the scene, what happened according to what we know would be more or less...Shizune and Angelica were having breakfast."

"But a fight happened for some reason and in a moment of loss of control for any reason whatsoever Shizune grabbed a knife and went after Angelica, who didn’t have time to transform and had to try to defend herself with her hands."

"In general, the reconstruction becomes difficult at this point, but the obvious is that Shizune killed her...besides, did you see how she was when we arrived?"

"She clearly didn’t seem mentally well, honestly, no matter the angle...Shizune killed Angelica."

"..."

"I...will take Shizune to the base’s prison, but soon we will have to make a decision, Shizune is not mentally well, we cannot judge her for that and you know it," Rose says the obvious to me.

"Please don’t make impulsive decisions...I know how much of an idol Angelica was to you, but Shizune is also a victim to some extent."

"..." After saying that, Rose leaves, carrying Shizune while leaving me here with Angelica’s body.

"...W-Why did this have to happen..." I punch the ground, cracking the wooden floor, I’m so frustrated.

And the worst part is that Shizune is not to blame, I can’t blame a mentally ill person for this act when she obviously seemed so desperate to have killed someone.

I can only blame myself for being so stupid and not thinking that Shizune was not mentally stable enough to live with Angelica.

"A-Angelica..." I can’t hold back the tears, seeing my idol dead in front of me is the worst experience I’ve had since becoming a magical girl.

This brings back the memories of the good times I spent with her, the lessons and training we had, the lively conversations we shared.

The last month has been very difficult, the work doesn’t stop, crime has increased, everything has simply started to unravel completely.

And now without Angelica, everything will get even worse.

"I-I shouldn’t blame her..." It’s so hard not to think that it’s all Shizune’s fault, if Shizune wasn’t here, Angelica would be alive and everything would be relatively fine.

But it’s also unfair to Shizune, who seemed really shocked by everything, as if she didn’t want this as much as I don’t.

"...Angelica...I promise I’ll take care of her..." I speak while tightly clenching my palm to the point of bleeding, Angelica talked a lot about Shizune.

During this month while she was passing the reports, she talked about how much she liked Shizune, she felt bad for not having revealed it and decided to tell everything she could.

She told me several things that Shizune might not even have known about herself, and although Shizune was previously a villain, the life she led with Angelica was completely normal and she even helped sometimes.

Since Angelica loved her, I think I should at least take good care of her, but this time with the proper safety measures, I live alone so I have what it takes to keep her at my house.

I need to take on the leadership, now without Angelica everything will be much more difficult, but she always trained me to replace her in the future.

"Angelica...I’ll give you the most dignified tomb I can create..." I summon my weapon, a dark blue staff with a cyan blue sphere floating at the top.

"..." I start arranging Angelica’s body in a position as if she were just sleeping, I use my own dress to clean the blood from her face until it’s completely clean.

I won’t be able to put a good outfit on her or clean up much of the blood, but this should be enough, I at least want to give her a dignified place, she was close to retiring, it’s a true tragedy.

"Farewell...master," I freeze her body in a block of ice using 90% of my magic, this ice is so hard, thick and durable that it should last at least 1,000 years or more.

I start carrying the ice block out of the house and then start flying, I spend hours flying out of the city and taking the ice block to another city.

"I’m...tired..." I finally reach the location, a place with no one in a forest in another city, it was the same place where me, Rose and Angelica trained, it has a beautiful view.

"The waterfall..." I go to the waterfall that has a passage behind it, I enter the passage carrying the ice block and place it in this small cave, it’s not deep, but it serves as a hiding place.

"M-Master...I-I promise to try to be a great heroine like you," I say, unable to hold back the tears, Angelica saved me in the past when I wasn’t a magical girl.

She was my inspiration, having her taken from me like this is so unfair, she was close to retiring from this job, she could finally have a normal life, why did fate make this injustice to her?

But I won’t blame Shizune, I have to take care of Shizune, she needs extra attention and care, I have to take care of her with my life just as Angelica would.

Angelica seemed willing to give her life for Shizune, and even while we were overwhelmed with work, she continued to seek information on this Flora and try to find a way to defeat her.

"..."

"Wait...Flora?...What if..." I ended up checking several footage and saw certain strange actions by Flora in the footage, as well as strange movements in her fight against Shizune.

And with that I was able to deduce that maybe Flora stops time..., but this hypothesis was discarded for not having a key foundation that would guarantee this information.

"What if...Flora was the one who killed Angelica..., but there’s no proof...and everything points to Shizune..." I try to exonerate Shizune in my mind.

"..." My communicator activated, I pay attention to what Rose is going to say.

"Azuli, Shizune woke up...and...she admitted to the murder of Angelica..."

"..."

"...I see..." I confirm sadly, in the end it was apparently really Shizune, there’s no use in me trying to exonerate her when she admitted the crime.

"What...do you want me to do..." Rose asks hesitantly.

"Nothing...just keep her in temporary containment...and get medications to help minimize her destructive actions...along with sedatives."

"..." After giving the command, I break the communicator.

"...Angelica...please pray that you give me the strength to continue...I promise with all my being to replace your place in the best way I can."

"...I have to go back to take care of Shizune...don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her and try to see if I can at least get her to improve a little bit," I speak to the ice block.

"Farewell forever, master, may your soul rest in peace." I start freezing the cave, I don’t want anyone trying to steal my master’s coffin, it’s already well hidden and with this extra guarantee it will be difficult to find.

I start flying, wiping my tears, in a few hours I should reach the base, but for now the cold and silent air will be my companion.
