      ABFR 45 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 45   “ What? No, I didn’t! What kind of person did you think I was all this time?” “Can you honestly say you knew absolutely nothing about that guy before you started dating him?” “No……. Damn it……. I really didn’t know anything about Teacher Si-hoon, but I did know a little about Rayleigh. But it really wasn’t like that……” “So I was right.” This brat. I scribbled Rayleigh’s phone number on the back of my business card first, then hurriedly…

      ABFR 44 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 44   “If you drink it slowly, it should be manageable.” Even as I grumbled, I eventually gave in and put my lips to the mug. It tasted faintly nutty and slightly cloudy, probably because some kind of grain tea had been mixed in. Thanks to that, it was easier to sip than ordinary tea without feeling overwhelmed by the amount. After I had swallowed a few sips, Rayleigh casually held his notebook out in front of my face. It was the map page again. A new claw mark had…

      ABFR 43 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 43   The moment Green’s father suddenly shouted, “You disrespectful little demon!” and struck Green across the face, then grabbed the hair of the staggering child and tried to smash his head down onto his knee, screams naturally erupted all around us. Several people, myself included, jumped in immediately and tried to protect Green by covering his head with their arms. Others among the people who had evacuated with us hurried over and grabbed the man, trying to pull him away from…

      ABFR 42 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 42   While I shuddered at the chilling sense of foreboding, Green’s ray carrying me had already made its way to the front of the crowd that had been fleeing with us. Around then, the ray slowly stopped moving and sank toward the ground. Soon, it exploded all of itself except for one small ray, and Green’s voice came through. “There’s a little more room now. I’ll join you over there. Keep working on getting your legs back to normal.” Apparently, whether it was a ray or…

      ABFR 41 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 41   Rayleigh said that the bodies of these monsters were made of conductive minerals. Since faint electrical signals flowed through various parts of living things, including the human body, perhaps that itself was not so unusual. What seemed more unusual was that they had bodies made of something like minerals. But let us think about it this way. In modern society, there were countless electrical signals everywhere, in amounts far greater than those produced by individual living…

      ABFR 40 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 40   Judging from what Green said, I think that from the moment I become involved in some event, Green can probably only see the “fixed future” that follows from my choices. The reason she was able to see such specific and detailed futures related to Railey was mostly because they happened in places where Railey and I were not together. If I had gone alone toward the Gate Green was heading to now, it meant that my death had been more or less decided. It was probably because, amid…

      ABFR 39 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 39   Left behind after that, I looked at the completely destroyed barrier, the debris still drifting around inside what remained of the limited barrier, and the citizens beyond the pale wall who were staring outside with terrified faces. Then I forcibly straightened my body as much as I could. From now on, something would change depending on my choice? Then I needed to first figure out what choices I could actually make. According to Green, the Gate here had appeared deep…

      ABFR 38 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 38 The Meaning of Love (3) I frowned slightly as I watched Green jump lightly off the back of the ray after sinking it down to the floor. Just as Green had said, the area in front of the exhibition hall we had been heading toward was strangely quiet. No, they had lowered the barricade, so they must have received the news that a Gate had appeared outside and taken measures to protect the people inside. According to Green, however, another Gate was appearing inside this barricade as…

      ABFR 37 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 37   “What do you mean, ‘it might be’? You really are going to kill the kid, you crazy bastard.” While I was bowing my head and offering a sincere apology to the Green from a future that never came because he had not come to find me, Green seemed to roughly guess what I was thinking. He clicked his tongue and corrected me. “Judging by that guy’s personality, it really is possible that he died, but it might not be the case. Like I said, there are limits to seeing the…

      ABFR 36 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 36 “Fuck, seriously….” “If we make a fuss trying to save those people, the children and women will die first. So I came to the conclusion that it’s more reasonable to throw the people who are ‘useless to the world’ to the monsters first. And I consider my father the highest priority among them.” “No….” “In a way, I’m doing the exact same thing as those people. But at least I’ve gained the power to make that kind of choice—to identify the ones who are…
