I don't want to be an elf!

Losing freedom, losing life, losing status—these are all acceptable.

If someone in the decision-making level values ​​his abilities, even if he is arrested, he may have a chance to turn his life around.

However, if even the most precious thing, life, is lost, then everything is truly over.

"I'm a prisoner of the conglomerate now! You can't kill me! You can't kill me!" His expression turned slightly manic. "If the outside world finds out about this, your idol career will be completely ruined. No one will like an idol who has killed someone!"

"It's truly disgusting." Miku Izayoi glanced at him with disgust. "I won't kill you. Killing you would only dirty my hands. You're not worthy of being killed by me."

"That......"

“But my toys will.”

After saying that, Miku Izayoi clapped her hands.

A woman with tattoos on her face and a dagger in hand walked in through the door.

She was a member of the Knights' Women's Guild, and one of the many Star Pulse Generation members who were brainwashed by Miku Izayoi.

Entrusting such dirty work to them can only be described as a perfect match for their expertise.

"While you're still breathing, enjoy your last breath."

Wearing the black necklace, Miku Izayoi brushed past the members of the Knights of the Women's Club.

Having achieved his goal, he was unwilling to linger for even a second longer, as if being in the same space with him would make him uncomfortable, and left the room.

Behind him came Diluc's unwilling roar and curses.

Miku Izayoi did not hesitate for long before killing Diluc.

From the perspective of the character, Izayoi Miku, who is extremely misogynistic, has an extraordinary aversion to all men. In the original work, she also tried to kill Itsuka Shido several times, which shows that her mind has been twisted to the point that she has no resistance to killing.

Not to mention, Diluc not only kidnapped the person she had her eye on, but also planned to harm her personally, which made his crimes even more unforgivable.

Putting aside the perspective of her role, she felt no pity for this guy who exuded pure malice in both his way of thinking and his behavior; she would not feel guilty even if she killed him.

Since that's the case, why not do something good for the world?

As for how to explain this to the six major integrated corporate groups at that time?

Does Miku Izayoi need to explain what she does?

Diluc has revealed all the information he knew, which means that his value has been completely exploited.

Even if he is caught by the conglomerate's decision-makers, at most he will be interrogated once more before being thrown into jail.

The conglomerate doesn't care about people who have no value.

As long as the Valda, a pure-type weapon capable of mental interference, is handed over to the conglomerate to handle, they will turn a blind eye to my actions.

Anyway, it's useless for Miku Izayoi to bring this thing.

Not only is she a level below in ability, but even as a mere accessory, she doesn't suit her temperament at all.

Miku Izayoi closed the door behind her and walked out of the room where Diluc was being held.

Only Diluc remained, along with the assassins who had been given orders.

Diluc's roar grew fainter and fainter.

Finally, whether it was because of the distance or because he could no longer roar, his annoying voice came to an abrupt end.

The entire hotel returned to calm.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Sea Without Light

Emerging from the hotel, Miku Yoshou stood on the street.

Not long ago, when she fought Varda, everyone around her was terrified and ran away.

Even now, you still can't see a single pedestrian in sight.

Just as she was pondering whether to wait for the conglomerate to pick her up or find a way back herself, a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Yo."

Miku Izayoi turned her head and saw Irene squatting not far from the hotel entrance.

With a flick of her wrist, Irene tossed a bottle of juice, which she had somehow acquired, to Miku Izayoi.

"Why is it such cheap stuff?" Miku Izayoi looked disgusted. "Is this even drinkable?"

“Hey, I’m sorry you bought this cheap stuff from a vending machine. I don’t have that much money to buy you any juice.” Irene rolled her eyes. “Don’t let the price fool you, it tastes way better than those organic fresh-squeezed juices you usually drink.”

"You've eaten too many inferior products and ruined your sense of taste."

Despite her complaints, Miku Izayoi didn't throw away the juice.

I reluctantly pulled the tab and took a few symbolic sips.

"To be honest, I thought you had already left. I didn't expect you to still be here," Miku Izayoi said. "Where are Priscilla and Usla?"

“I’ve already had them taken to the hospital,” Irene replied. “I have some connections in the entertainment district, so getting them to do me a favor shouldn’t be a problem.”

"Shouldn't you be staying by your sister's side with worry at this time?"

After Varda was dealt with, Usla, whom it had been using as a tool, was also rescued.

Like Usla, Priscilla suffered from malicious mental deprivation and it would take some time for her to recover. Therefore, Miku Izayoi entrusted them to Irene, asking her to take the two wounded to the hospital.

However, what Miku Izayoi didn't expect was that this guy would stay here all the time.

Knowing Irene as she did, this doting sister should be pacing anxiously outside the ward, terrified that something might have happened to her.

"Well......"

Irene looked somewhat awkward and offered a lame excuse: "If something unexpected happens while you're alone with that bastard Diluc, I won't be able to pay off my debts, will I?"

Upon hearing this, Miku Izayoi's expression became somewhat subtle.

Irene owes her 900 million, which she has not yet repaid.

However, if something were to happen to her as the creditor, the debt would also disappear.

For this guy, it's actually something to celebrate.

Seemingly realizing that her excuse was illogical, Irene coughed twice and changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, how is Diluc doing?"

"He's probably dead."

"Dead, dead?!"

Upon hearing that her former employer, the notorious and ruthless king of the underworld, had died here, Irene's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "You killed him?"

"I had an assassin kill me."

"Isn't that the same thing!"

"Why are you so agitated?" Miku Izayoi gave her a strange look. "Shouldn't this kind of thing be commonplace for you?"

"It's certainly nothing new to me, but..."

Irene hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She grew up in a war-torn area where she saw corpses and death almost every day.

He was taken to the floating city of Hexagram by Diluc and became his tool. Although he never killed anyone himself, he had witnessed quite a few killings.

She had indeed long been accustomed to death.

"But you're an idol! Do you know how heavy it is to bear the weight of a life on your shoulders?" Irene said anxiously. "Don't take a life lightly. When you look back on it later, you'll definitely regret your decision!"

Are you lecturing me?

Miku Izayoi frowned and said unhappily, "Irene, have you been getting increasingly confused about your place lately?"

"I... I just didn't want to see you crushed by the pressure of killing someone."

Irene sighed and scratched her cheek: "In the pleasure district, I've seen too many people break down because they can't handle the pressure of killing, ruining their own futures. But you have a bright future. It would be terrible if you ended up like me."

"Humph......"

Seeing that Irene was worried about her, Miku Izayoi's expression softened, and she said nonchalantly, "Don't think of me as one of those greenhorns who would break down at the slightest hint of darkness. I'm not that kind of person anymore."

"No longer...?"

Irene keenly perceived the information that Miku Izayoi unconsciously revealed.

Miku Izayoi did not answer.

She raised her head, as if recalling the past.

But unlike others, she didn't show any nostalgia when recalling her younger self.

His expression grew even colder.

"Irene, what is this world to you?"

"What is the world..." Irene said awkwardly, "Don't ask me such profound questions, I haven't even been to school for many years."

"Ha, you really are a complete idiot."

"Ha, you're so smart, then tell me what this world is all about."

Miku Izayoi smiled dismissively.

Looking towards the horizon, her eyes were deep and unfathomable, unlike the Miku Izayoi on stage, but also somewhat different from the Miku Izayoi that Irena usually encountered.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

"This world is a pitch-black ocean."

Miku Izayoi said slowly.

"The surface of the sea is calm. Some people drift alone in their own canoes, while others contribute their planks to form a larger boat for greater safety and stability."

However, some unfortunate creatures are always swept away by the wind and waves, or shattered by other ships, ultimately sinking into the vast, black ocean.

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it gently, as if she were truly in the ocean.

"Once you fall into it, you will lose your sight and your direction, and you will sink into endless darkness forever."

No matter how much they struggled, their final fate was to sink to the bottom of the sea and die silently.

I was once one of those countless drowning victims, shattered by the malice of others, and plunged into the deep sea.
