Chapter 18:

Resurrection Requiem (1)

Sakuragami Syndrome


While the little goddess watched her favorite anime, Kira-san and I remained silent. Floating in that dark space while we looked at the screen of that TV. 20 minutes had passed, and the anime was finally over.

*Anime ending theme*

*Sob… sob…*

*SNIIIIIIFFFFFF*

“This ending always makes me cry-saku… :’(“

What was that anime?? I never seen It before... It almost looked like my life… “What anime was that Sakuragami-sama? I've never seen it before.”

“Hehehe!! These are my domains. Time is not an issue!! I can see things from any time-line!! Even from the future-saku!! I’m immune to those episode batches that you all hate so much-nyan. I don’t need to wait months to see how an anime ends-saku. The same for manga and light novels!!”

*SUPERIORITY FACE*

*Then, if you control time and space and time doesn’t matter, why did you panic and let us waiting here because you were about to lose your favorite anime?*

“Tsk…!!”

*Disdain face*

*DON’T TSK AT ME!!!!!!!*

“I can’t lie in my domains. But you made me mad, so I won’t answer your questions. You know, people only like clever guys like you when they don’t mess around with them. People like you that brag about their ingenuity are usually outcasted. No one wants to hear your stupid comments. Just die again.”

Her attitude changed completely… She’s not even using her hose when she’s in a bad mood. She looks like a mafia boss… How scary!! Kawaii and terrifying!!! “Please, Sakuragami-sama. We’ve been waiting while you watched your anime. Can we have at least some answers??”

“Of course-nyan!!”

*Kawaii pose*

She changed her mood again in just a second… “Then… What is this space?”

“This is my holy land-saku. Think about it like a room between life and death =3”

“What is the Sakuragami syndrome?”

“It’s my gift!! Mmmmmhh… How may I explain it… Basically, I resurrect people who sinned but were sorry for having sinned. After confessing their crimes in my holy lands, I grant them a second opportunity to redeem themselves. To make it, it's necessary to resurrect them into a stressed blood-related successor’s body-nyan.”

“So the people Manami-sama mentioned to be mysteriously disappear 500 years ago, were people who sinned and came to your shrine for redemption?”

“Exactly-saku =3 I accepted their sins and reclaimed their souls and bodies to resurrect them-nyan.”

“So Yamazaki-san has 14 resurrected magic beings inside him??”

“Yamazaki-nyan?? That was his name?? But yes, it’s correct-saku =3”

“Ha!! I knew it, Kira-san!! When we first spoke, I said that a wizard created you!!”

*Idiot!! I'm a real human!!*

“But you are a magic being sent by a goddess into my body.”

*I'm not a magic being!!!! Keep asking her questions!!*

“Okay, Kira-san. Why are we here, Sakuragami-sama??”

“Because you confessed your sins sincerely and wanted to redeem yourself while you stood in my holy lands-saku =3 You are the first in 500 years to confess your sins on my sacred ground. Kitty Kira-nyan was the last before you, after he burnt my sacred shrine.”

“And why is Kira-san here too?? He didn’t confess anything.”

*Look*

“Tsk!!”

*Disgusted face*

*Stop looking and clicking your tongue at me like that, just for exposing a flaw in your logic!!! Get over it!!*

“He’s here because he sinned 500 years ago and wanted to redeem himself-saku. But he failed miserably-saku. Your souls are linked forever until he redeems himself-nyan. He also burned my shrine before I reclaimed his soul for resurrection-nyan. That’s when people stopped to come confess their sins-nyan”

“You are the one Manami-sama talked about. The one who burned the shrine 500 years ago when all those mysterious disappearances happened. Aside from that, what sin did you commit?”

*It’s true, it was me. But I won’t tell you what I did. I’m still angry because you killed me.*

Is Kira-san a male tsundere? “Then, Sakuragami-sama. Was Manami-sama lying to us?”

“She was-nyan =3”

“So Manami-sama was lying?? About what??”

“About having 2 [Trigger Factors]-saku.”

*HA!!! You damned Roach-gami, I told you!!!*

“Don’t be so proud. Kitty Manami-nyan fooled kitty Kira-nyan into thinking her trigger was to admit she had the syndrome. You didn’t even realize something this simple. I read your mind and you made a mistake. You go bragging about how clever you are to others, but you are really stupid. TSK!!”

*REPEAT THAT!!! You are lucky that I can’t hit you here!!!*

“BLEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!!”

If Sakuragami-sama is unable to lie like we are, then it should be true. “But how??? And why???

“I can’t tell you why-nyan. But the truth is that reincarnated personalities, blessed by my grace, can have 2 [Trigger Factors]. But the host can only have one-saku.”

One?? That means… If Manami-san was the main personality, the one who was supposed to be killing all the people according to Manami-sama, she could only have 1 trigger. But which was the fake [Trigger Factor]?? The killing one or the one that has from looking at me?? “Goddess, what was…”

“I can’t tell you =3”

“But I didn’t even finish my ques…”

“Remember that this is my holy realm-nyan!! I know absolutely everything that has happened, is happening and will happen within it. Including thoughts-saku!!”

*I knew it!!! Damn whale!! You should stop using your dogshit brain!!! Then what else was she lying about??*

“I won't tell you. Uhmp!!”

*You damn loli…!!*

“Please, Sakuragami-sama, tell us!! I need to know!!”

“If it's you who asks, is okay-saku =3”

*Still mad for a simple comment!?!? Aren’t you supposed to be a 1000-year goddess??*

“BLEEEEEHHH!!”

*Stop flashing your tongue at me, brat!!!*

“She was lying about other things, but they were too many-saku. Instead, I will tell you what was true. She's been stalking you for 2 years. Probably because she was waiting for the Sakuragami syndrome to awaken in you. At least one of them was really in love with you. She did wear a wig at school. She was wearing it when you faced kitty Chizaki-nyan.“

*Wait... She was wearing it too?? She may have taken advantage of the moment when I couldn't take my eyes off Chizaki to take off her wig… So it was her all the time!!! It was Manami-shit-2... She was lying!!! I knew it!!! That kind Manami-shit I lived with for a week wasn't the one plotting to kill everyone. Nor the one who killed those other girls!! Right?? Loli-sama??*

“Eh?? Are you still here?? Why don’t you go play with some clay or something?? Pzz, pzz!! Go away, kiddo.”

*YOU LOLI…*

“Sakuragami-sama, would you be so kind to answer Kira-san’s questions??”

“Okay... But I will put this face every time I answer him-saku.”

*Disdain face*

“You are right, kitty Kira-nyan. TSK!! After a while, I got bored and stopped listening-nyan. Good grief-saku. People should be more to the point. Kitty Manami-nyan talked a lot. Everyone should be sincere, clear and concise like me-saku. Nowadays, people don't have the mental capability to listen to or read long explanations-saku. They want everything resumed-nyan. Like if you could make a good story like that-saku!!”

“Then, what about the murders?? Why did she kill all these people??”

“Mmmmhhh… She wasn’t lying about Shizuka-nyan, and the last year students were planning to bully you too at the school festival. But I don’t know if Sato-nyan and Imai-nyan wanted to kill you. That happened outside of my territory. But I know she lied to you-saku. She wanted to kill them long ago to play Juliet in the cultural festival-nyan.”

*Ha!!! An expert liar. She tells us a few truths and then spouts the lie!!!! That means that she has been fooling us. The one who was murdering all the students was Manami-shit-2 while she wore a black wig!!! She played with us!! Whale-gami!!!*

“And what about the day at the cliff??

“I wasn’t there-nyan. But I read her mind, and none of the things she said to you appeared to be true-saku.”

“So the day at the cliff, when Manami-san kissed me... It was all an act… She never changed personalities. She was the same personality all along. She made me think that it was the other her, the one who was crazy, but in reality... I've never been with her. She tricked me into thinking that I was helping her save our classmates, but indeed I was helping her do it. It was Kira-san the one who lived with the real Manami-sama while he used his help to kill all of our senpais…”

*You finally realized, Butagami. While I lived with Manami-shit, she behaved as a perfect human; kind, supportive, considerate, clean, a masterchef... But every time I helped her with her plan to kill all of those students, she changed a bit. At the moment, I just thought that it was normal. Her acting was good. It's a pity that you couldn't see it since you couldn't control your senses while you were not in control. I'll tell you the story later.*

“So it was true... The lollipop thing was also a lie…”

*I told you, Butagami. A good lie resides in the little details. She tricked us good.*

“What when she changed personalities while facing Chizaki?”

“She faked it-saku. It was her second personality all along, since you stepped into my domains-nyan =3”

*So that’s what it was. She told us the truth about having 2 triggers, but she mixed it with lies. That’s how you build a perfect lie, Butagami!! She’s been tricking us!! I bet that the Manami you’ve been with was always the same!! The only time your dear Manami-sama appeared was when I was living with her. She just had to make sure to wear the black wig every time she asked me for help to prepare for her slaughter!!*

“Sakuragami-sama, I need to know which [Trigger Factor] was the one from Manami-sama!!”

*Who cares about that, Butagami!! You killed us. There’s nothing we can do now!! Just say it!! Manami-shit was a liar!!! Admit it!! You can’t lie here!!*

“I CAN’T!!!!!”

*Why not?? Why are you so reluctant to say it?!?*

“Because that wasn’t Manami-sama!!! That wasn't her!!! As Sakuragami-sama said, we’ve been tricked!!! I know the real Manami-sama!!! Her second personality sure is a liar, but not the real Manami-sama!!!!”

*GODLY DETERMINATION STARE*

*Okay, okay… Never mind.* What a fierce stare for a whale who’s been bullied for so long. His eyes are filled with hope.

“I’m sorry, kitty Butagami-nyan. I can’t tell you-saku.”

“Then, what’s my trigger, Sakuragami-sama?? “

"You take control when you get sexually excited-saku"

*Pathetic.*

THAT’S ALL?????? “And what were Kira-san’s [Trigger Factors]?”

*Obviously protecting our lives, Butagami. Every time you were in the brick of the dead, I helped you.*

"You're wrong, kitty Kira-nyan. You didn't take control when kitty Butagami-nyan was in danger. Remember when you told him inside my holy land that you killed his mother and fed her to a dog-saku?? Your [Trigger Factor] is not that, but to help people-nyan. You took control that day to help him not to be arrested. You took control other days so that he would not be harmed. In fact, the one time when kitty Butagami-nyan’s life was about to come to an end, you were not able to take control."

*Do you mean the reason I could control our body was because I care about others instead of saving my own life?? Bullshit!! This loli-sama is lying to us, Butagami!!*

“But if she is lying, it means that you were wrong with Manami-sama…”

*I KNOW!!!*

“Don’t tell me that you are embarrassed to know that you are a good guy, Kira-san.” He’s a tsundere for sure.

*SHUT UP!!!!*

“Kitty Kira-nyan is so shy-nyan =3 Shy and a fucking idiot who thinks that all the others do is badly done and they are worse than he is. Tsk!!!”

*Don't push your luck loli-hag…!!!*

"So we've been killing people who weren't going to kill me??"

"That's right-saku. They weren't going to kill you-nyan, although they would have done you a lot of physical harm-saku. That's why you're here-nyan. In your next life, you'll have a chance to redeem yourself for the crimes of this one, as well as avenge your family."

“Next life?? But I'm a virgin. It’s impossible that I can resurrect in my direct bloodline successor's bodies!!”

“Listen, you both-saku. This is the end of the journey for your last body. However, you can still resurrect in your future direct bloodline successors.”

“Direct bloodline successors?? You mean… Our children??””

“Children, grandchildren… Anyone-saku.”

“But… I’ve never lost my virginity. How is that possible??”

*Perfect, Roach-gami!! You ruined it all!! You just needed to spread your seed before hanging yourself!!! If you hadn’t hung yourself, I would have executed my vengeance once and for all!! And I can’t because you are a shit-ass virgin!!!*

*Punch… Swoosh… Go through*

*FUCK!!!!*

“That’s not completely correct-saku.”

*Eh?!? Stop being so enigmatic, loli-hag!!!*

“Stop calling me that!!”

*BONK!!!*

*GYAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!*

“Worry not, little kitties. Your presence before me indicates that indeed, kitty Butagami-nyan’s blood is still living on Earth-saku. A successor will be born out of his blood.”

*What?? How could that be possible!! HEY!! Butagami!! What did you do??!!*

“It may be… Manami-sama??”

*What?? Manami-shit?? What have you been doing while I was trapped in your mind??*

“Nothing, I just… Maybe it was that night… When she stabbed me… Usually when Manami-san touched me, I got horny. But when she was on top of me that day, I couldn’t feel it at all…”

*SHE ABUSED US!!!*

“No, she didn’t abuse us.”

*Do you like me!!???*

“Yes, Manami-sama!!!!”

“I consented!!!”

*HEY!! Loli-sama!! If we can’t lie here, why did Butagami just say he was a virgin??*

“Because he is-saku.”

I see… So it wasn’t an ordinary pregnancy.

“I’ll grant you both another opportunity to redeem your sins-saku. You will also need to accomplish your most desired dreams in order to complete your debt with me-nyan =3”

*Then in our next life, Butagami will have to seek the perfect school life he dreamed of, and I will have to go back to finish off that guy to avenge my family and redeem my sins.*

“That’s right… TSK!!!”

*Disdainful face*

*We also need to go back and beat Manami-shit-2’s ass!!*

“No, Kira-san. I realized myself. The real Manami-sama is in great danger. We need to save her!!”

“You need to know that when you reincarnate, you will still be 16 years old, kitty Butagami-nyan. You maintain the age you had when you prayed to me at my sacred domains-saku. Your soul is connected directly to your successor’s body-saku. Also, your mental age will still be the same-saku. That’s why kitty Chizaku-nyan had that body, and it’s also why you become slim in 2 days-nyan.”

“And how old was Kira-san when he died 500 years ago?”

*I don't want to know!!*

“Then I should respect kitty Kira-nyan’s desire to not tell you.”

“And Manami-san’s age??”

“She's 21, the same age as kitty Kira-nyan.”

YOU DAMN LOLI-HAG!!!!!

“The things she said to me were very brave-saku. Her sin was so terrifying =S”

“What did she do??”

“I can't tell you that-saku.”

“Kira…”

Ugh…!! Again?? I’m remembering something…

“M…Manami… What is all this blood… What did you…”

“Kira. I killed my family.”

“What?? Why??”

“They wanted to…”

Ugghgh!!! Was that… Manami-shit, 500 years ago?? She dismembered her whole family. *I knew I wasn’t mistaken. She lied to me right in front of my face!!*

“What do you mean, Kira-san??”

*I knew that Manami-shit had another personality. I realized it after living for a week with her. When we were planning her slaughter, minor details changed in her acting. At first, I thought that it could be because she felt bad for wanting to kill so many people. But then I remembered our first encounter and the day at the student council room. It was her all along. She pretended to be her other self in order for you to help her. Your dear Manami-sama is a psychopath. The one you call Manami-san is the victim!!!*

“We talked about that just now. Why are you repeating it?”

*Because… I just remembered Manami… The Manami who was my childhood friend, 500 years ago… The one who killed all the students. And both their families.*

“They kept saying they were going to sell me out to the shrine. So I just cut them to pieces...”

“But why…?? Manami-chan…?? Aren’t they your family…?? Why did you…”

“Kira-kun… Your eyes… I can see the blood and dismembered bodies of my family reflected on them… They are beautiful <3”

*Happy relieved calm smile*

*The face she made back then… She was truly happy after dismembering her family. That's what a true psychopath is, Butagami. Someone who doesn't threaten. People who go around threatening others with cutters and throwing punches are nothing more than bluffers. A true psychopath doesn't say anything, doesn't threaten. He simply waits for his chance and takes it. Without giving you the option to defend yourself.*

“Kira-san!!!”

*What the hell!! Don’t scream like that!! Whale-gami!!*

“Kira-san. Let’s be friends from now on!!”

*What?? You make me sick, Roach-gami. You just killed me and now you pretend me to be your friend?? Even after I told you I was your friend, you decided to hang yourself. I will never…*

“PLEASE!! We need to cooperate!! I will help you redeem yourself so we can both rest in peace in heaven!! I promise that when we are reincarnated in our descendant body, I will help you take control in order to avenge your family!! I will resign to my perfect school-life in order to achieve your final goal!!”

*Tsk!! What is this?? You act all cool in front of me. Are you trying to make me look like the bad guy here or what??!!*

“PLEASE!! I REALLY MEAN IT!!!”

*MOST SERIOUS STARE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE*

*Aaaaaagggghhh!!! OKAY!! You won!! I will cooperate with you too. But I will do what I need to do to fulfill my goal. Don’t ever try to stop me, even if it puts our lives at risk!!*

“YES!!”

“Then… Young kitties. I’ll be sending you back to Earth-saku.”

*What?? Now?? But we just arrived!!*

“Here, time and space are bent to my will-nyan. The next time you open your eyes, a lot of time will have passed on Earth-nyan.”

“It makes sense… Somehow??”

“Now then!! I need to send you back to Earth fast!! My favorite anime is about to start!! Look, they are already running the opening!!”

*♪♪ Fiuru fiu fiu fiu fiu, fiu fiu, fiuu ♪♪ Fiuru fiu fiu fiu fiu, fiu fiu, fiuu ♪♪ Fiuru fiu fiu fiu fiu, fiu fiu, fiuu ♪♪ Fiuru fiu fiu fiu fiu, fiu fiu, fiuu ♪♪*

*Kawai dance*

“I love this openiiiiiing <3”

*Don’t act so innocent!! This is exactly like when you had us waiting to see your anime. You can see that whenever you want. You are sending us back early because you want to get rid of us!!! To begin with, why does a goddess have a TV tuned to Earth’s signal!!!!???*

“Tsk!! I bet you are not popular with girls.”

“Wait, I have a question!! If I resurrect in my descendant's body, that would mean that if I control the body it will become fat?”

“That's right-saku =3”

*Are you serious, Butagami?? That’s what worries you now the most?? Loli-sama!! How can we boost our strength even more with your gift??*

“Just go straight to hell and die miserably, kitty Kira-nyan.”

*WHAT IS THAT ATTITUDE RIGHT NOW?!?!?*

“Sakuragami-sama, answer please. We may need it.”

“It was me who gave you that x8 boost-nyan. Since you are in my domain, I can do what I want-saku. You can’t do it by yourself.”

*Shit!! Without it, we won’t be able to defeat Chizaki!! Or better said, his 15 personalities. How could we defeat him, Loli-sama??*

“Oh yeah, the resurrection gate!! Mmmhmhhhhhh… ORAAAA!!!!”

*Opens the Gate of Resurrection*

*SWIIIIIIIIIISSHHH*

“WAAAAAAaaaaaaaa…”

Shit the air from that pink gate is sucking us both!! *Don’t ignore me and answer, you damn loli!!!! Why the hell is the resurrection gate pink and decorated with cats and sweets?!!??!*

“Because it’s KA-WA-II =3”

*ANSWER MY OTHER QUESTIOOOOoonnnn…!!!*

“Ah!! I almost forgot. In order for both of you to resurrect again, you must be holding your hands before crossing the gate.”

*And you say it now???!!! You damn loli-looking hag!!!!*

“Kira-san!! Your hand!!!”

*YEAH!!!*

*SWOOOOSSSHHHH*

*Grab*

“Ah!! I also forgot to tell you-nyan…”

*Dancing*

*MORE???!!!!!!!!! STOP DANCING!!!!*

“This is your last chance to redeem yourself from your sins. If one of you fails to pay for his sins, even if the other succeeds, it will mean that both of you, no... You two and your successor will go straight to hell-saku. I looked into the future, and this is the last human that will be born with your blood in it. So don't mess it up-nyan!!”

The last one…?? So the Oshino family will reach an end after we resurrect. My descendant will die… Oh no!! The void is sucking us!!!

*YOU DAMN LOLI-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

*SWIIIIISSSHH*

*Resurrection gate closes*

“Farewell, little kitties =3 See you again when you definitely die in my sacred lands-saku. And good luck-nyan.”

*Kawaii dance continues, non stop*
