Chapter 321: The World at the End (2)
A dark world where even moonlight had vanished.
The Pink Girl was in an extremely excited mood.
The mysterious building that suddenly appeared was one reason, but the Blue Reaper that seemed to have fallen from the sky was another.
The Pink Girl, who had always been alone, never meeting anyone, endlessly moving upward towards the sky curtain.
The girl had always been incredibly lonely.
The only person she had met in her entire life was the old man she called ‘Grandfather’.
Moreover, even that ‘Grandfather’ had already died by the time she properly began to perceive the world.
The Blue Reaper that appeared before her made her feel as if she had made a friend.
Even though it was only as big as a palm and of a different species, being a ‘Grimoire’ and human, it still felt that way.
“Let’s go!”
The Pink Girl grasped the Blue Reaper in her hand and started running towards the convenience store.
<I-I’m getting dizzy!>
The Blue Reaper’s eyes were spinning as if it was dizzy, but the Pink Girl just kept running with a bright expression.
A part of the convenience store building, cleanly cut as if by spatial slash.
The Pink Girl looked down at the fallen sign.
<24-hour Convenience Store. Seoul…>
The sign was cut off at the back, with the latter part of the text missing.
“Is this… writing? Grandfather never taught me about this kind of writing.”
The Pink Girl frowned, staring intently at the letters, then simply shrugged it off, thinking, ‘Well, I must have forgotten again,’ and walked into the convenience store.
Then she started wandering around the store, her eyes shining as if she was having fun.
“I learned about this. Grandfather said it was food.”
<Stop, please!>
When she picked up a can she found while wandering around and tried to bite into it with her teeth, the Blue Reaper panicked.
“Doesn’t this look kind of like a person shape?”
She giggled at the hole in the wall that looked as if a human shape had been projected onto it.
And she even tried eating a bit of instant coffee powder with her finger.
“Oh!”
“This is delicious. You should try some too.”
The Pink Girl smiled mischievously and popped some coffee powder into the Blue Reaper’s mouth.
<!!!!!!!!!>
Surprised by the bitter taste, the Blue Reaper’s eyes went wide, and it fainted, falling to the side.
Quickly regaining consciousness, the Blue Reaper, with tears in its eyes, started hitting the Pink Girl furiously with its hammer.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
“Ouch, it hurts! I said I’m sorry!”
The Pink Girl ran around, dodging the Blue Reaper flying about swinging its hammer, repeatedly apologizing.
