ALL NOVEL Chapter 38 – The Conclusion
3rd POV
"Mind explaining?"
Tatsumaki spoke.
A few minutes ago
Tatsumaki was about to say something but Rena suddenly closes the door.
Tatsumaki touches the door knob to enter again but she immediately overheard Rena's muttering.
Her eyes widened.
What she heard was a rather, surprising news.
"Dark... Monarch..."
Tatsumaki muttered.
Of course, this name wasn't a stranger to her.
Who else except the name of the monster that managed to beat her at that time.
At first, she didn't believe it and thought maybe Rena was playing a trick on her.
But soon after, her friend came.
Rena immediately calls her friend's name.
It was Nyan.
Of course, she also knew that Nyan was her cat's name.
But the Nyan she speaks with right now is not an ordinary cat.
Tatsumaki ever dealing with a speaking cat before.
Exactly the time before she meets with Rena.
The time when she was fighting Nyan with Dark Monarch...
All of them are connected.
She then overheard all their conversation.
Monsters, Heroes, and... Her feeling about her.
While she was listening, her phone keep vibrating nonstop.
But Tatsumaki no longer cares about that.
She wants to know.
She wanted to know, about the truth.
The truth about Amanozako Rena, that is now currently has the status of her lover.
Many complex emotions are showering Tatsumaki at this time.
Happy, Worry, Confusion, Anger... and many other feelings.
After their conversation is over, she immediately decided to act.
*BOOM*
Maybe because her emotion got her good, she no longer care about anything and let her emotions control her body.
She then asked for an explanation.
"Ren-Cha- no, Amanozako Rena... Mind explaining?"
Tatsumaki asked.
.
.
Rena's POV
DID SHE OVERHEAR OUR CONVERSATION?!
My thought.
I gritted my teeth hard while still in deep thought.
I didn't know Tat-Chan was still there behind the door and keep listening.
I sensed a presence back then but I was in deep thought so I thought it was Nyan.
That's why I ignored it.
But, I made a mistake.
I gritted my teeth harder that I started to hear cracking noises.
What should I do? should I play dumb? No, I don't know if its will work.
But, I will not know unless I tried it!
I immediately changed my expression and smiled at Tatsumaki.
"Eh, you're still here Tat-Chan. I thought you were already gone. Also, what do you mean by explaining? did I do something?"
I spoke.
"Don't act dumb..."
Tatsumaki muttered.
"Ah, also, what have you done with my house! where do I sleep now, humph!"
I said, persisting in changing the topic.
"Kugh,"
Tatsumaki gritted her teeth. She then stretched her hand.
Soon after, my body was coated in a green aura.
I then felt a strong yet light force on my neck that lift my body up.
"Ugh,"
I groaned. Tried to release the force on my neck with my hand.
Of course, I didn't feel a single pain.
I did that so Tat-Chan can maybe lower her guard a little.
After our height in the air was the same, she then starts spoke.
But before he left out her speech, a tear has fall from her eye.
My eyed widened at the sight.
"Are you, still gonna play dumb after all of this?"
Tat-Chan spoke.
She was speaking with no fear of me giving out the truth.
But I can feel it... her voice was trembling.
Deep down, she was scared.
Scared of knowing the truth.
"I trusted you, all this time... I decreased my hero time for you. Every day, I was excited to meet you. I was excited about what we gonna do when we met. I was excited and scared about our relationship. Where will it go, and when will it ends, I'm simply scared about it. You're my everything. Because you're here, I am no longer scared about anything. BUT YOU!... please tell me, what am I to you, AMANOZAKO RENA!"
Tat-Chan goes wild and lets out everything she was keeping in her heart all this time... while crying.
But I just simply... stared at her with a dumbfounded face.
She was right, to continue this relationship, I shouldn't hide anything from her anymore.
The time has come.
Whatever decision she will take, I shouldn't complain and let the future me handle it.
"I... understand..."
I spoke in a low tone.
I then undo my transformation.
Into my previous and original form.
My figure immediately changed.
Not much but, changed.
2 horns and long tails which was a characteristic of a monster immediately appeared.
Eye color suddenly changes into red and gold.
Black armor appeared on my body with a big red gem in the middle of the chestplate.
The previously, a human figure of me, was no longer can be seen.
Now it changes into a monster.
Into a real form of the creature called "Amanozako Rena".
After I undo my transformation, I immediately saw Tat-Chan's expression.
Her eyes widened.
I immediately start to speak,
"Tat-Chan, I-"
*swoosh*
Without realizing it, I was already got thrown away at an insane speed.
I crashed building after building, tree after tree...
Until I reached the forest of where the shape of Z City was no longer visible.
3rd POV
After Tatsumaki throws Rena away with her physic power, she immediately catches her up with her insane flying speed.
Without breaking a sweat, she's already at Rena's front, floating with her psychic power.
She stared at Rena who was laying on the broken tree.
Light starts to fade from Tatsumaki's eyes.
She then spoke,
"Killing monsters is my job as a Hero... don't blame me."
Tatsumaki stretched her hand.
Rena slowly stood from the broken tree while spoke,
"Un, I know. That's why..."
Rena then look at Tatsumaki's face and smiled.
"Please don't cry,"
*drip*
"Eh..."
Tatsumaki slowly pulled back her stretched hand to reach her face.
She then felt it, the wetness feeling which was spreading on the area near her eye... a tear...
Rena didn't stop there.
She continued her speak,
"If it's you Tat-Chan, I'm fine with it. So please, kill me."
Her words were full of sincerity.
She didn't blame Tatsumaki who want to kill her because she is a Hero.
She didn't blame Blast who was affecting Tatsumaki that she had this character.
She didn't blame the God who was reincarnating her as a Monster.
She didn't blame anyone.
She just simply, accepted her fate...
Rena starts moving her chestplate.
Her armor was also her body parts which she can control it like her own body.
After she was done removing her chestplate, her half-naked body immediately showed.
With a glowing red heart that was beating hard between her chest.
*throb*
*throb*
It was sticking out from her body like a half-dug gem on the sand.
That heart was one and the only weakness of hers, Amanozako Rena A.K.A. Dark Monarch.
She never told anybody about her weakness.
Even her dearest friends...
But she was fine with Tatsumaki.
She's just simply had enough of lying to her.
Her lover, her first love...
She knew.
To continue this relationship, she chooses the truth.
That's why...
She then starts closing her eyes and left everything to Tatsumaki's choice.
Killing her... or letting her alive...
Rena doesn't care anymore.
Even when she closes her eyes, her smile wouldn't stop.
Her true smile that she rarely shows...
Tatsumaki can only groan in pain at hard choices.
She slowly lifts her trembling hand and points it at Rena.
A sharp stone immediately built and floats near Tatsumaki.
The trembling gets stronger, sweat starts falling, eyes begin to tremble...
She then closes her eyes, and...
*whoosh*
Rena slowly opened her eyes a little.
Everything she saw, was like in slow motion.
She then pondered while having flashbacks,
Ahh... so I will die soon huh...
The days I spent with them will soon be over...
Nyan, Black Sperm...
Saitama, Genos...
Psykos, Boros...
Thank you, all of you.
The days I spent with you guys were the most fun days in my entire lifes.
Aahh, even though I started having fun, it immediately will be over huh.
That's unfair you know, god.
But at least... I can die in the right hand...
At the hand of my beloved... Tatsumaki.
The stone almost reaches her heart.
She then closes her eyes again.
.
.
A few moments have passed.
She felt nothing.
No pain.
No physical feeling touched her heart.
Literally, nothing.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the sharp stone was stopped, only a few millimeters from her heart.
Eh, what hap-
"WHYYYYYYYY!!"
Tatsumaki screamed.
Her scream made Rena startled.
"What's wrong... Tat-Ch-"
"WHY ARE YOU SO CALM! YOU WILL DIE SOON YOU KNOW!"
Tatsumaki screamed, cutting Rena's speech.
Please, stop smiling.
While Tatsumaki screamed, her thought was also running.
"I'm calm? maybe... because you were the one who will end my life."
Rena gently touched the sharp metal in front of her heart.
Please, stop speaking.
"WHY IT'S ME?! WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN YOUR LIFE AND ME!"
Tatsumaki still screaming. Her tears were falling nonstop.
"Of course, because you're my best friend, my lover, my first kiss..."
Rena slightly stabs the sharp metal into her heart.
Her expression immediately groaned in pain.
But that doesn't stop her from smiling.
She then looks onto her eyes and continues,
"My first, love..."
Please stop...
"WHO'S LOVER!"
PLEASE JUST STOP!
"I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BECOME YOUR LOVER!"
*crack*
Rena's eyes widened.
"Eh no, I didn't me-"
"I... see..."
Rena slowly spoke, cutting Tatsumaki's speech.
*crack*
Ahh, something is wrong with me.
*crack*
I can feel it, a big wall that was keeping me sane was shattering.
*crack*
It keeps shattering, inside me.
*crack*
This feeling... is new...
*crack*
I don't know what is this...
but it feels...
*crack*
good...
*crash*
Just like that, Rena's monsterfication was advancing to its next stage.
