183話 氷花を飾る少女
ジリッと泡立つ感覚が背を走る。危険を知らせるシグナルだ。
俺は即座に対象との関係性を調べる『
タロとの関係性 → 好感度【無関心】
:失った者、失った心、失った愛を嘆き、憎む
好感度は【無関心】、という事は敵とも味方とも思っていない、はずだけど俺の内心では警鐘が激しく鳴り響いている。
目の前のジョージも同じ緊張感を覚えたのだろうか、急にピシッと背筋を伸ばし、気を付けの姿勢を取りだす。
「逃げるのよォォォォオオん!」
そしてジョージは弾丸ロケットのごとき勢いで、ピョーンと後方へダイブ。
うぁっ!? 頭からこっちに突っ込んでくるなよ、危ないだろう!
「まずいわぁぁん! 『凍傷』耐性アイテムがないとォン、あの子とヤり合えないわよぉおん!」
水面に響く波紋のように広がった、禍々しい漆黒の波動。『白青の雪姫ブルーホワイト』から噴き出たオーラは瞬時に青へと変貌し、そして白く、氷花のように咲き誇った。
――降り積もる孤独――
――霞んでは消えてしまった夢――
鈴の音を転がすような凛とした旋律。これは歌?
「ジョージ、この歌声はなに!?」
「天使ちゅわん、こんな時に何を言ってるのォん!? いいから早くここから退散するわよぉん!?」
心が汚いジョージには聞こえてないみたいだ。となると、純真無垢なミナへと振り返って叫ぶ。
「ミナ、この歌声が聞こえてる!?」
「すみません、天士さま。わたしにも聞こえません」
「えっと、タロ先輩......ボクにも聞こえてない、です」
「私にも何がなにやらーって、タロちゃん! 逃げてっ!」
トワさんの警告は
と言えばいいのだろうか、正確には植物を模した氷なのだが、美しく幻想的な氷花が急速に広がっているのだ。それは教会内部の床から天井にまで張り巡る勢いで、当然俺達の足元にも迫って来ている。
――欠けた身体は元に戻らない――
――明日だけが、そっと逃げてゆく――
しかし緊迫した状況でも、奏でられる歌声は不思議と惹かれるモノがあった。
きっとこれは『白青の雪姫ブルーホワイト』の心象が歌に乗っているのだろうか。なぜ俺だけにしか聞こえないのか。
「天使ちゅわん! 急いでぇン!」
「ジョージ! もうちょっと待って! まだ歌を聞き終わってない!」
だって、彼女の末路はあまりにも悲劇すぎる。
彼女がこの町に『黒い雪』という呪いを振り落としたのは、とても残酷な復讐だと思うけれど、どうしても放ってはおけない。
「もぉん! 仕方ないわねぇん! 女のワガママを真に受け止めるのもぉん、イイ女の証なのよぉん!」
さすがジョージさんっす。頼りになります!
急速に辺りが凍結していくこの状況下で、俺を庇うように堂々の仁王立ち。
「ひゅしゅるるるぅぅぅ......」
「ありがとう、ジョージ」
「長くは持たないわん......『
ジョージの両腕にチリチリと小さな光の球体がいくつも宿る。そしてオカマは目にも止まらぬ速さで、拳を討ち放った。拳と氷花がぶつかり合う瞬間、それは極小の爆発を生成し、連打によって氷花が次々と砕け散っていく。
「ふぉちゃちゃちゃちゃちゃちゃちゃちゃちゃっちゃオウッッ!」
拳と氷花の二重奏、それは小惑星の爆発めいた神秘さを伴い、美しい煌めきと残像を発生させる。あとに残るは拳を振り抜いたジョージの武道派姿だけだ。まさに修羅道を歩む人そのものを体現した技だった。
――壊れた時計は時を刻めない――
よし!
ジョージのおかげで、まだ歌を聴き続ける事ができる!
――壊れた人形も――
――壊した命も――
――彼の命も――
彼の命?
――この手で――
――全て、殺してしまった――
ブルーホワイトは......将来を誓い合った恋人に『化け物』と恐れられ、その悲しみに駆られて恋人も殺してしまったのか?
――小さな雪国見下ろす――
――約束の場所――
れ果ての小岩――
約束の場所?
恋人と愛を確認し合った場所とか?
――欲しいのは、
――失くしてしまった――
――生きる理由――
......生きる理由を、失くしてしまった、のか......。
――呼び覚ます度に君が笑う――
――ただ、憎いはずなのに――
きっとまだ、自身が殺めてしまった恋人に未練があるのだろう。
そして自分の運命を呪い、この町を呪い続けているのだろう。
............。
「天使ちゅわん! もう限界よぉん!」
「ジョージ、ありがとう......逃げよう!」
しかし事態は教会内部だけでは収まらなかった。
「町が......氷に覆われていきます......」
胸元で両手をきつく結んだミナが、驚愕の眼差しで凍りついていく建築物を眺めている。
さらに教会の開かれた扉から、大量の雪が吹き荒れる。その雪は黒ではない。しかし、吹き抜ける雪が町を歩くNPCに触れた途端、全身が透明になり、パキパキと氷結していった。人間ではない別の生き物へと豹変していったのだ。四肢のある氷の化け物、といえば一番しっくりくるだろうか。
カチコキと奇怪な動きをするソレに、顔なんてない。タダの動く氷人形のようだ。
「雪が......建物内にも入り込んでいる......」
もはやこの町の住人全てが、氷人間になる運命を辿っていた。
:『呪いの雪国ポーンセント』がダンジョン化しました:
町へと広がりゆく氷層は、まるで雪姫ブルーホワイトの心を代弁するかのようで。
希望を閉ざし
姿形が変わり、恋人にすら化け物扱いされたブルーホワイト。
たかがNPCモンスターの過去だ。
だけれど......身体が少女へと変化してしまった俺には、彼女の絶望は他人事のように思えなかった。変わり果てた人形の姿で、信頼していた人間にどう見られるかという不安と戦い、会いに行った結果が。『化け物』と怖がられるだなんて、もし
「なんとかできないかな......」
ジュンヤ君はポーンセントの人々が被った惨状に慌てているようだ。
寒空に閉ざされた町に、俺の本音が冷たくこぼれた。
185 183 Stories The Girl Decorating Ice Flowers
The feeling of zilliness and foaming runs the back. It's a warning sign of danger.
I will immediately examine the relationship with the subject. Activate "Chanting the Air (Aire Poema)".
: Mercenary (Player) Relationship to Taro Likeability [Indifference]
: Lost, Lost Heart, Moaning Lost Love, Hating Stripped (Hakusei) Dolls:
The sensitivity is [indifferent], I don't think of it as an enemy or an ally, but in my mind, the alarm rings violently.
Did George in front of you feel the same tension, suddenly stretching his spine and taking a cautious stance?
"Run, wow!
And George has the momentum of a bullet rocket, diving backwards with Pione.
Whew!? Don't stick it in this way from your head, it'll be dangerous!
"Not good! Wong, you can't fuck that kid without Frostbite Resistance Items!
A disastrous pitch-black ripple that spread like ripples echoing the water. The aura erupted from "Snow Princess Blue White in White Blue" instantly transformed into blue, and bloomed white, like an ice flower.
- Loneliness that descends -
- A dream that disappeared in Kasumi.
Rin melodies that roll the sound of the bell. Is this a song?
"George, what is this singing!?
"Angel cum, what are you saying at a time like this wow!? Come on, we're getting out of here.
It doesn't sound like George with a dirty heart. Then I look back and scream at the innocent Mina.
"Mina, I hear this singing!?
"Excuse me, Heavenly Master. I can't hear you either."
"Uh, Senior Taro... I didn't even hear you,"
"What do you want from me, too, Taro?" Run!
Mr. Twa's warning was also Yu (more).
Shall I say a wave of ice (...), mainly "Snow Princess Blue White in White Blue," an ice that mimics plants precisely, but rapidly spreads beautiful and fantastic ice flowers? It's a momentum stretching from the floor inside the church to the ceiling, and naturally it's coming to our feet.
- The missing body will not be undone.
- Tomorrow is the only time I'm gonna get away with it.
But even in pressing circumstances, the singing that could be played had things that attracted wonder.
I'm sure this is the mindset of "Snow Princess Blue White in White Blue" on the song. Why does it only sound like me?
"Angel Cucumber! Hurry up!
"George! Wait a minute longer! I haven't finished listening to the song yet!
Because her end of the road is too tragic.
I think it's a very brutal vengeance for her to wave off the curse of 'black snow' on this town, but I really can't let it go.
"Ooh! I don't have a choice. Hey! You really take a woman's wagamama, it's a testament to a good woman!
That's right, Mr. George. You can count on it!
Under this rapidly freezing circumstance, grand benevolence to shelter me.
"Hi-shuruuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Thank you, George"
"It won't last long..." Unburied. "
Many spheres of chili and small light dwell on both George's arms. And Okama, at an unstoppable speed in his eyes, let go of his fist. At the moment when fists and ice flowers collide, it produces an extremely small explosion, where ice flowers are crushed and scattered one after the other by a series of hits.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
A duet of fists and ice flowers, it involves the explosive mystery of an asteroid, generating beautiful brilliance and remnants. All that's left is George's martial arts figure with his fist swung through. It was precisely a move that embodied the very person walking on Shura Road.
- A broken watch doesn't mark the time -
All right!
Thanks to George, I can still listen to the song!
- And a broken doll.
- And the lives you destroyed.
- And his life.
His life?
- With this hand...
- I killed everything.
Blue White is...... feared a 'monster' by her future sworn lover, and driven by that grief, she also killed her lover?
- Looking down at the little snowy country -
- Promised place -
- A dead rock.
Promised place?
Like where you and your lover checked each other out?
- What I want is your heart.
- I lost it.
- Reasons to live -
... you've lost your reason to live...
- Every time you wake up, you laugh.
- It's just, I'm supposed to hate you.
I'm sure there are still untrained lovers who have killed themselves.
And I guess I curse my fate and keep cursing this town.
............
"Angel Cucumber! That's the limit!
"Thank you, George... let's get out of here!
But things didn't just fit inside the church.
"The town... will be covered in ice..."
Mina, with her hands tied tightly on her chest, looks at the architecture frozen with a stunning glance.
More from the open doors of the church, massive amounts of snow blow. The snow is not black. But as soon as the blowing snow touched the NPC walking through town, his whole body became transparent and frozen with the pacifiers. He turned into another creature who wasn't human. Ice monster with limbs, will it stick the most when it comes to it?
There's no face for a creepy, weird move sole. Looks like a free moving ice doll.
"The snow... is also entering the building..."
All the inhabitants of this town were no longer following their destiny to become ice men.
: 'Cursed Snow Country Pawn St' has been dungeoned:
The ice layer that spreads to the town is as if it speaks for the heart of Snow Princess Blue White.
She closed her hopes and froze herself.
Blue white with a changed figure and even her lover treated her like a monster.
It's just the past of NPC monsters.
But... her despair didn't seem like anything else to me when her body turned into a girl. Fighting the anxiety of how he could be seen by a person he trusted, in the appearance of an unusual doll, the result of going to see him. I can't believe you're scared of 'monsters'. If they had taken such an attitude at night (or Yuki), I would have hated someone, too.
"I wonder if I can do something about it..."
Junya, you seem to be panicking about the tragedy suffered by the people of Pawn St.
My true intentions spilled cold in a town closed by cold skies.
