Chapter 142: Last Resort: Kill Dora

Candace’s face was angry as she clutched her fist and addressed Agiel.

"All of you... Do you realize that would mean killing Dora?"

Agiel nodded in response, and the others looked at him in disbelief. Zuri slowly stood up, her eyes wide with shock.

"What do you mean... kill Dora? Dean, what is this?" she asked, asking Candace for an explanation.

The dean’s eyes trembled as she struggled to find the right words.

Agiel turned to the nobles standing next to each other and began to explain the plan in more detail.

"Let me rephrase: we’re not talking about literally killing him. We all know that Greed did something to lose his memory, then split his soul to recreate what he called Personas. We know two things: the Sin won, and during the past year, he committed several murders, so we know he is an enemy. The second thing is that he himself chose to erase his memory. His words were that we beg for his help. You said that he helped you to kill a Disaster, and now you think he’s a new Dora, and we should let him fight alongside us. Let’s be honest. Isn’t that exactly what he wants? Listen to what the prince said, please. This thing is a Sin Avatar."

Zuri’s eyes went blank as she tried to process the information.

"We already know that... why did you say to kill Dora?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Candace, realizing that the others were confused, provided more clarity.

"What he means... what they want to do... is to erase his memory, with Gluttony’s blessing," she said, her eyes shaking gently.

Mercy and Iris gazed at each other, trying to understand what was happening, while Nosfera nodded in agreement and provided more detailed information.

"Technically, we want to accomplish the same thing as he did, but this time, we will be in control. So, allow me to explain the entire idea," she said, presenting her plan for a few minutes.

However, Candace and the nobles strongly opposed it, and a heated debate ensued. Nonetheless, as the conversation continued, they gradually changed their opinions.

Suddenly, a noise interrupted their discussion, and everyone’s attention shifted towards Dora. He made a sound, scrunched his eyebrows, and slowly opened his eyes. He was encircled by everyone staring at him like a wild animal.

"... Hello?"

Mercy, Freya, and Iris hurried over to him, but Zuri darted like a bullet and thumped him in the chest, almost knocking him down. This was her natural distress call.

Dora groaned in pain, but he comforted Zuri and the others hugging him tightly.

"There, there... it’s okay, Papa is here...huh?" Eventually, he spotted the group assembled in the room and his countenance altered.

Nosfera, who had been dozing while standing, opened her right eye.

"Ah?... bloodlust."

The maids stood guard, and Candace shielded him once more.

"Dora, please! Don’t do anything foolish!" she implored, confronting Nosfera.

Dora, waking up from a long sleep, gradually became aware of each person present.

He noticed Solaria and Moonra and wanted to greet them, but their expressions showed that something serious was going on.

Zuri was crying lying against him, and Mercy, holding his hand, kept apologizing.

Dora froze and looked at Freya in panic.

"Please, don’t tell me I killed someone... Where’s Cid?!"

Candace shook her head and turned to him.

"You’ve killed no one, don’t worry... you’re even the victim here."

She lowered her head, ashamed to look into his face.

Adding to this the murmurs of distress from the girls around him, he understood that he was in a dire situation.

Nosfera walked toward him and scratched her head.

"Hi, Greed... you must feel a little lost... don’t worry about them.... they are only sad because we found a way to defeat the Sin."

"... Defeat? But I am Greed..."

"Correct... I also think you are Greed, and I’m sure you’re not an idiot... You don’t remember killing anyone, do you? So you shouldn’t be surprised... when people say that you are the monster who erased his memory."

Dora’s eyes showed confusion, he looked slightly away, acknowledging that she had a point.

"Good... so I suppose that you will cooperate."

"... cooperate for what?"

"In the erasing of your whole memory. We are going to kill Green by making him forget who he is."

Dora seemed a little surprised at first and gradually opened a large mouth.

"What?"

"You’ve heard well... We are going to erase all your memory... so Greed won’t remember what was his plan... and possibly become manipulable. "

"What the hell are you..."

He tried to stand up but realized that he could no longer move his arms, which were held firmly by Freya and Mercy.

"... Guys, what’s going on? Why are you holding me... Dean, what does that mean?!"

Candace, looking defeated, trembled, her head still lowered.

"Dora... I can’t... I can’t do anything..."

"What do you mean?! Why do you talk as if you know?... Hey, you all... let go of me, now! What’s wrong with you?!"

Dora was in chains, struggling to break free, but the nobles had completely overpowered him. The girls, who were once his friends, now looked like living chains as they moved more violently. Dora turned to them, his voice shaking with desperation as he pleaded for their help.

"Why are you helping them? Freya? Mercy?" But both remained silent, Mercy trembling strongly and Freta biting her lips.

Dora’s eyes searched for any sign of support, but he found none.

"Iris! Zuri? Why?" he shouted. But they too remained silent, their faces expressionless.

"This is for everyone’s good," Candace said, her voice trembling with emotion.

Dora’s desperation turned to anger as he lashed out at them.

"How is this good? They are trying to erase me! Why don’t you stop them?"

Candace shook too, her face seeming like she was about to cry.

"Dora, they are right. Even if we want to see you, even if it means so much to us, we can’t ignore that Greed initiated something. Following blindly like this is too reckless. But if we erase your memory..."

It was the first time in Dora’s short life that a deep feeling within him awoke, burning his blood fiercely. The burning feeling of a true betrayal. He couldn’t believe that his friends, whom he had trusted so deeply, would turn on him like this.
