Chapter 444 – Don’t Touch the Little Piece…
Why do people hope for high places?
It could stem from the instinct to rise above others.
But there are those who crave it just to feel the emotions I’m feeling right now.
And rightly so.
[Isn’t it beautiful?]
“Yeah, it really is.”
The view I’m looking down at is simply stunning.
Busy streets filled with glimmering cars of every color.
People, smaller in comparison, are diligently walking their own paths.
And buildings, each with distinctive characteristics but similar heights.
All of it blended together to create a beautiful picture.
For a moment, Piece and I silently admired it.
I gradually turned my attention to Piece.
A concerned question rose in my mind.
“Piece.”
[Why do you ask?]
First, the fact that I can see Piece right now.
And we’re not just having a conversation in our heads like usual.
We’re talking to each other just like normal people.
Does that mean others can see her too?
“Can other people see you like this?”
[Maybe so. Honestly, I’ve never appeared like this before, so I’m not sure.]
As Piece said, I can’t be sure there are people around.
This is the first time she has revealed herself like this.
But there’s a reason I’m asking.
[By the way, why do you ask that?]
“Well, that means the heroines could see her too, right?”
What if the heroines recognize Piece?
[You’re worried they’ll give you a hard time?]
“Yes, it’s really scary.”
It’d be best if they didn’t recognize her.
But if the heroines did see Piece?
Just thinking about it is horrifying.
[……It won’t end well, huh.]
“……Yeah, exactly…”
I might as well die in a dream at this point.
Our current relationship has honestly been a result of my coercion.
I’ve managed to keep it going thanks to the heroines understanding that.
But that doesn’t mean I’m inviting more people into the mix.
[Don’t worry too much. I don’t have much power, so I can’t keep this up for long anyway.]
“Hah…thank goodness.”
Without realizing, a sigh of relief escaped my lips.
[And doesn’t it feel good in a way, given the vibe of an affair?]
“……It’s bad for my heart, you piece of shit. And affairs are bad.”
I could hear pieces of the past echoing in my head.
Anyway, if Piece is to be believed, even if the heroines could see her, she couldn’t maintain this appearance for long.
So, it should be safe from the heroines seeing her after all.
There’s also the fact that Piece appears just as my ideal type.
[Don’t you know? An affair with pure love? Even an affair can be beautiful if it’s pure love.]
“……How far gone are you, seriously…”
Of course, from what she says, she still seems like a beautiful, crazy person that’s too good to waste.
For a moment, I went back to taking in the view beyond the rooftop.
I smiled brightly at the scene below that had caught my attention more than before.
That scene was none other than the heroines.
They seemed to be anxiously looking around for something.
From the looks of it, they were probably searching for me.
It felt like it was about time to head back.
I thought about calling them over to say hi, but something else suddenly popped into my mind first.
“Hey, wait a minute. Go back a bit.”
The fact that the heroines might see Piece was a concern.
As I said earlier, people might not be able to notice her, but it’s better to eliminate any possible risks beforehand.
[Hmm…]
“Hurry up and go!”
Upon my command, Piece looked like she was thinking about something but obediently stepped back.
At that moment, the heroines looked up and locked eyes with me.
Then they started waving their hands, pointing at me.
Even though I couldn’t see their faces clearly, they all looked like they were smiling.
Maybe it was just because I had nearly died.
That sight made me feel so glad it almost brought me to tears.
As I waved back at them with a warm heart, suddenly—
[Ahhh! Juwin! Harder! Harder!!!]
“Y-you crazy bitch! What are you doing!!!”
Out of nowhere, Piece shouted loudly.
Just moments ago, she was supposedly behind me.
Now she was in front of me, pretending to lean on the railing.
From a distance, it looked like she was on the verge of falling.
[Where would you like me to let it all out!!!]
“Ah, no! That’s not it!”
[Yes, inside your womb!!!]
“That’s not what I meant, you fucking psycho!”
Now she’s acting like a double-piece Ahegao just as her name implies.
From far away, while I couldn’t see her expression, it looked like she was showing off what she was doing through her actions and sounds.
As if daring the heroines to watch and listen.
[Hik! It’s so good!!! Ekkk!]
“Shut your mouth!!!”
At my shout, Piece shuddered and suddenly ducked behind the railing.
As if she had fainted from reaching an intense climax.
[Just be honest. Did you get turned on?]
“You dog!”
It truly felt maddening.
There was no way I could hit that bitch.
Using that moment, Piece dealt me a blow.
Still, a sliver of hope remained.
There’s still no conclusive proof that others can see.
So even if the heroines think I’ve lost my mind and am shouting, at least I can avoid the worst-case scenario.
“Kim Shinwoo, you bastard! I heard you went to the bathroom without a leash, so what the hell are you doing!!!”
“Master, were you enjoying a secret meeting while leaving us behind?”
“I can accept the first wife being the child wife, the hypnosis wife, the rape wife, the drug wife, the training wife, and the gaslighting wife, but I won’t accept the affair wife!!!”
“Are you fucking Okiya now! You traitor!!!”
“Ah, fuck.”
This has turned into the worst-case scenario.
The question of whether Piece could be seen by others was finally answered by Piece herself.
Just, it was in the absolutely wrong way.
[Knowing that they can see this, isn’t that good?]
“Why would you have to prove that right now!!!”
Piece flashed me a bright smile.
[This is just a minor revenge for what you said earlier.]
“Minor for me to die, you bitch!”
I’m screwed.
Really, really screwed.
I can’t fix this anymore.
This time, I might actually die.
“Maybe jumping down would be better…?”
[You don’t think I’d actually kill you, do you?]
In fact, the killing intent started oozing from the heroines.
“There’s killing intent oozing out! You bitch?”
[Poor thing…]
Did I just say I couldn’t see the heroines’ faces clearly a moment ago?
I think I can retract that statement.
Now their faces looked as clear as day in front of me.
All of them wore expressions that seemed ready to tear me to shreds.
Soon, the heroines dashed into the guild building at breakneck speed.
It seemed like they were coming up to capture me on the rooftop.
And there’s nowhere to escape from here.
“Why are you doing this!!!”
[Why… Because it’s fun.]
I couldn’t even take my frustrations out on Piece.
“Ah, this fucking bitch!!!”
[Did I make you mad? I can control my emotions!]
In the end, I had no choice but to blame myself.
I had let my guard down since an illustration appeared.
Even if Piece’s appearance is the embodiment of my perfect ideal type.
Her essence is just a damn crazy woman.
In that moment, the pieces around Piece began to fill in gradually.
Piece’s appearance was beginning to vanish slowly.
She seemed to be trying to escape alone.
[Well then, I’ll be off now.]
“At least explain before you go, you piece of shit!!!”
As I shouted in a hurry, Piece suddenly looked as if she had just remembered something.
[Oh, by the way, do you remember what happened early on?]
“I don’t know, fuck!”
She wore a huge smile that seemed to look down on me.
As I shot back in indignation, Piece began to put on a mock-serious face.
[Respectful speech.]
“……What kind?”
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and comply with Piece’s words.
[You know, when I called you ‘Oni-chan’ while doing a ‘messy’-thing with you.]
“I remember. I remember.”
I wanted to punch that face, but I had to swallow my anger and answer desperately.
I could hear several people approaching furiously from beyond the rooftop door.
Faint but very clear.
I began to cling to Piece as if I was begging her.
I don’t know what will happen if my identity is revealed, but at least I can avoid whatever punishment may come.
“Please, just give me one excuse, Piece. Please.”
[Then just extend your fist once.]
I hurriedly stretched out my fist toward Piece.
Then Piece also suddenly stretched out her fist slowly.
Looking at me with tear-filled eyes and softly whispering.
[Shinwoo, big brother…]
Soon, Piece touched her fist to mine and gave me a faint smile.
[Live on…]
And with that, Piece completely disappeared.
Simultaneously, a voice began to echo in my head once again.
Only, the sound that was comforting in a dream was now—
[Shinwoo Punch!]
‘……That fucking bitch…’
Now it just felt like an annoyingly terrible voice.
At that moment, the rooftop door crashed open loudly.
Through the broken gap, the heroines with predatory expressions revealed themselves.
This time, unlike in the dream, unavoidable death had come.
