Chapter 56: Azuli’s decision

I woke up at the base of the magical girls and had some time to think... and I decided to take the blame, I told Rose that I killed Angelica, after all it wasn’t hard to believe that I’m the culprit.

The reason for taking the blame is because there was no way to deny it, and because if I try to reason it, that’s what Flora wants, there’s no other option to do in this case, Flora herself set everything up for me to confess this crime.

From what I’ve seen, even the knife used to kill Angelica was a knife from Angelica’s kitchen, so she really planned everything perfectly.

If I blame Flora, I’ll have problems, and if I try to make too many excuses, I’ll make my situation worse since I’m not smart enough to think of something good.

So I just decided to apologize and say it was an impulse, we had an argument and I got stressed without being able to control myself and then stabbed Angelica.

Since I’m someone with a mental illness, this version makes sense, and I really don’t have good self-control over my anger and feelings at the moment.

This version of the story seemed to fit with what Rose was thinking, of course there was more to it but she decided to just let it go since she’s tired and sad.

After a while, she brought me two pills that I took, I immediately felt slower, it must be some kind of sedative or something similar.

I decided to lie in bed and wait to see what would happen to me, I just hope my sentence isn’t too bad.

After a few hours, Azuli showed up, she looks pretty bad, she must have suffered a lot with Angelica’s death, that makes my heart hurt.

I feel bad, this is all my fault and Sayuri’s, I shouldn’t even exist here, if I didn’t exist, Flora would never have come back and caused this mess, without Flora, Angelica would never have died.

It’s noticeable that my existence causes damage to others’ lives, damage that shouldn’t exist, this damage is closely linked to me, even if indirectly.

I get up from the bed and go to the bars where Azuli watches me, I’m still a bit lethargic from the sedatives and the blood on my clothes has already dried.

"A-Azuli...I-I’m so sorry... it was... it was all my fault, b-but I didn’t want her to die, I swear" This is all true, I really feel bad, it really was my fault and I really didn’t want her to die.

"..." She sighs and takes a deep breath as if trying to regain her composure, even if she hasn’t lost it.

"It’s okay... Shizune, we’ve already decided what to do with you... I, will take Angelica’s place and from now on you’ll live with me..., but you’ll be more limited."

"I think the environment wasn’t suitable for someone ’special’ like you, from now on you’ll be removed from school and will be taught by me, after all you’re a danger to other students."

Does she really think that? I don’t think I’m dangerous, but I can understand it, so I just stay quiet.

"I’ll give you the easiest, simplest and most educational life I can imagine."

"As soon as I finish some adjustments, you’ll start living with me..."

’How cold...’ Her tone of voice is normal, but her eyes have a cold determination that’s a bit scary.

"I-I understand... Angelica... what did you do with her?" I ask, trying to find out what happened to Angelica’s body, I’m not sure exactly what she would do in this terrible case.

"I buried her, giving her a special place to rest, please let’s not talk about it anymore" She says and leaves, leaving me here in the cell, I sit on the floor and think about it.

’Was it a good idea to have taken the blame...’ I don’t know, I couldn’t think of anything else, maybe in the past I would have had a way to prove my innocence without putting anyone at risk.

But now I can barely tell if my choice is good or bad, I sit on the floor feeling sad, waiting for what will happen.

Honestly, Azuli’s choice surprises me, I didn’t think they would be mild in this matter, after all "I" killed someone.

"...Shizune, get up and put this on" Rose appears and hands me some clothes, interrupting my thoughts.

"You can take a shower in the bathroom and after that you should go with Azuli" I sigh as I get up and go to her, I take the clothes and go to the cell’s bathroom to take a shower.

The collar is gone from my neck, but I don’t know if Rose took it or if Flora herself removed it so the magical girls couldn’t get it and see the camera.

But I think it was Flora, and I say this because Rose never questioned or said anything about the collar, even though according to Flora, the collar had a camera.

"..." After taking a long shower, I put on the casual clothes Rose gave me and come out of the bathroom, I see Rose waiting to guide me to wherever I deduce is to Azuli.

"Hey Rose... Angelica... what’s going to happen to her house..." I’m not sure, but the police didn’t get involved in this, did they? Or won’t they get involved and then come after me?

"...Magical girls have more authority than the police, the house was closed by me and now it will be demolished, we have permission for that so the police won’t get involved."

"..."

"Shizune... I can’t help but get mad at you, but I forgive you for this, Angelica wouldn’t want us to hate you and do the opposite of what she wants is like staining her image."

"But... I’ll let you know, if you feel again that you can’t handle your feelings, let Azuli know, don’t do anything stupid again, understand?" Rose approaches me.

"And... take care of Azuli, she’s been strange since Angelica died, she’s noticeably colder and acting weird, she needs help, but I can’t provide that help."

"I’m awful at this and will just irritate her and ruin our friendship... I want you to at least take good care of her so she doesn’t get so sad about all this."

"...Okay... I-I’ll do my best" I can at least try to do that.

"Let’s go, and from now on never mention Angelica again, that will only make things worse."

"..." I nod in agreement, I agree with Rose that Azuli doesn’t seem to be doing well, she had a coldness in her gaze that was strange.

It wasn’t hatred or anger, it was just weird and unidentifiable, I walk with Rose to where Azuli is, I see her in casual clothes waiting for me, she’s slightly leaning to the left in the chair.

"Shizune, can we go? The workers have already finished remodeling my house, it’s suitable for you now" Azuli responds with a smile.

"Yes, we can..."

"Azuli, I have to go... this afternoon, since we’ve spent so many hours on this, I haven’t even been able to contact my family yet and villains could end up attacking somewhere, so I need to rest" Rose says with a certain tiredness in her voice.

"Okay, have a good rest" Azuli responds as Rose leaves through the door.

Then Azuli and I go together outside, we take a taxi and are taken to her house.

Arriving at her house, I’m completely surprised, even out here the house has changed a lot, it’s much nicer, but also with things like electric fences and fences, so it looks more like a beautiful prison.

I get out of the taxi with her and we walk in together, she opens the fence while guiding me, as soon as she opens the door I see how different it is inside.

Her house looks much more like Angelica’s, but with things to increase security, like little fences in some places, soft silicone in others.

I also can’t visualize anything that could be used as a weapon, it seems like she’s treating me like a child and has decided to remove everything that could potentially be dangerous.

"Here we are, Shizune, home sweet home... I also left school, anyway school is just a formality, I’ll take care of you and keep you safe, just like she would want..."

Azuli says as she enters the house, pulling my hand.

"This will be your room from now on, if you need anything, just call me, next to the nightstand there are sedatives in case you feel bad or feel like you’re losing control."

"I also removed everything that could potentially be dangerous, I’m going to sleep now, I need to rest, there’s food ready on the table and your things like clothes and intimate accessories are already ready."

"...And Shizune, please don’t try to leave the house... or we’ll have problems."

"O-Okay..." I don’t have a good track record, her caution makes sense, so at least I’ll obey and not leave the house... the biggest problem is the damn intruder who will come after me to play with my body.
