Chapter-32: Compliacted realtionship

3rd POV

"I guess it's really the end of the old biblical god.....let's make sure he didn't leave me any backup and last-minute servants who will suddenly strike me," Kenta said while trying to make a search party for some suspicious individuals.

"First of all, I have to do something before I return to the original world. Now it's the time for me to do this " Kenta said deciding

"A realm that is created within one's mind...

Filled with deepest fantasies.....

Perceived by the senses...

[Mind Palace] " Kenta chanted.

Kenta is transported within his own mind palace.

Kenta POV

This is a mind palace where I can interact with the people that are deceased souls I have killed. I have many questions which are left unanswered in my previous world. So I have decided to find answers by asking the people here directly.

I can call the people that are deceased here and I can ask them questions, I can also feel them sensually and can hurt them spiritually. But unlike the living, they don't fade away unless I have decided to use Memento Mori.

Within that my mind. I have summoned Utsuro, Celeste, with whom I have decided to talk. It seems like they are quite surprised to see me.

"Hello.....It seems you are the one who has teleported me here....How boring " Utsuro replied uninterested.

"..." Celeste is silent. I guess it's either guilt or shame that's haunting here. I am still salty about her trying to kill me for money. But in the end, there is no time for me to have grudges while I have unsettled things in mind.....For now at least.

"Yes, Utsuro...I have questions in my mind which I need answers for, why do you choose me over Akane Taira as successor to divine luck? " I asked Utsuro.

"........Is that even supposed to be a question at all?.... The answer is obvious, I want Akane to have a normal life, while on the other hand, you were the only one I can transfer my divine despairing luck to " Utsuro replied while meditating in the air.

"How did it work? It's not luck at all, luck has a complicated mechanism behind it. I have decided to visit you since I want to know how to control it.....I didn't have the opportunity to visit you when I realized the existence of Divine luck. " I told him.

Utsuro is calm and emotionless all the time, never caring when someone insults or is trying to defeat him. He never shows any signs of happiness, sadness, remorse, sadism, anger, etc. The only person he showed care for was Akane, Taira, and Kenta, but at the same time, he was still willing to kill them if they went against his plans.

Due to his Divine Luck, everything always worked perfectly for him, which made him very depressed, even tried to kill himself several times, but he always failed due to his luck. Whenever he saw a person suffering, he would also use his luck to improve their lives, but he only did that for the thrill.

After meeting Junko Enoshima and becoming a Remnant of Despair, he became dedicated to creating a Killing Game as a test to help Junko Enoshima with her own future Killing Game, all because she was one of the few people in his life who managed to make Utsuro feel an emotion.

The emotion of Despair.

"I was born with an extremely powerful ability known as "Divine Luck". It was reality-bending luck that would make everything work exactly as I wanted. " Utsuro told me

"However, to me, it was a curse, everything would work perfectly well for me, making me unsatisfied with life. I would sometimes go around and help people who needed it, sharing my luck to help them. I tried to kill myself several times, but due to my luck attending to my "human survival instincts," it would always fail. Junko used this to make me despairful enough to create a killing game." Utsuro said with despair

"So you know the dreadful Junko Enoshima as well? " Celeste replied with disgust at her name.

Utsuro and his right-hand, Akane Taira (who joined due to her talent as the Ultimate Maid) spent three months "studying" inside Hope's Peak waiting for the Tragedy. During that time, they have met Kenta who has managed to grab the interest of Utsuro and successfully formed a bond with him. After the Tragedy happened, Utsuro, and Akane Taira had to decide to join in Kenta's cult.

"I failed to defeat Kisaragi.....What happened to Akane. " Utsuro asked me.

"Within Safe hands " Kenta reassured Utsuro.

Utsuro let a warm smile on his face. He really cared for Akane after all. And here I thought he doesn't have any sentiments.

".....sorry for the interruption. Gentlemen, might I know why I am here " Celeste replied while smiling gently.

"You...I still want to settle things with you " I asked her.

"What's there to settle with me, " Celeste asked me with a painful expression on her face.

What a liar. And here I thought Kokichi was worse.

"I never forgot the fact you tried to kill me for a mere 10 million. You have said a lot about how I loved myself that day. And yet you have attempted to kill me to escape from that hellhole. Don't think I have forgotten and have forgiven your betrayal. " I told her.

"So, WHAT! I lied. What's there to discuss about it " Celeste told him.

My lie detector spell says otherwise

"There is a lot to discuss this, and keeping the information within yourself won't do any good. I can read your mind and I know you are lying about lying " I told her.

"OKAY! I WAS LYING ABOUT NOT CARING FOR YOU. But I really...really NEED TO ESCAPE FROM THE SHITHOLE " Celeste told him.

"Where is the key celeste? The key " Kenta asked the main thing he wanted from him.

"I have put it inside my treasure box. The password is my measurements " Celeste said with a teasing grin on her face.

Even while dying this woman still tries to break me. I like how this woman gives me challenges, this woman reminds me of Irene Alder.

"You always make things harder for me, no matter how many times I try to fix you, you won't break. So let's do this another way. " I told her.

You're Not the one who can twist feelings

"Let's exchange our feelings," I asked her.

I slowly interlinked our fingers together and we could feel each other's breaths on our faces. Celeste's cheeks are pale pink.

"You don't leave me even after I tried to kill you...Such a sentimental man you are " Celeste replied with a sigh.

Bold of you to assume I ever loved you

"No, I want information on what happened that day...you left your house, " I asked her.

"I know you became a gambler after that, but you have the key which I gave you, where is it, " I asked her.

The key is very important. It is my locker key that is useful for transporting me back to my world. Teleportation can only be possible only if I got the coordinates.

"Beg for it " Celeste declared.

"Celeste....." I replied while taking up a rossy whip and slashing at her face, making her face bleed a little.

"I really wanted to do this for a long time to you, Celeste, " I told her while striking her repeatedly with the whip making her kneel at her feet. Celeste's body is filled with bruises and wounds from the whip I have made. This is the thing I wanted to do with her. I guess she assumed I would sympathize with her even now.

"Kneel down and lick my shoes clean, " I told her.

She did that without hesitation, which is why this woman changed her mood so quickly. I guess that's Celeste I know.

"Taeko Yasuhiro you are always the loser who has failed to become a queen and rich in the end. You are nothing but a headache for me to deal with. Your mind is what attracted me the most " I told her.

"You....guys are so irrational...Arguing and making up like an old couple. I don't know if you guys like each other or hate each other, " Utsuro told us.

I guess our relationship is complicated. But I will never ever Celeste in my life ever again after that. I am not blind to feelings like Celeste and Junko.

"Goodbye Celeste. Hope you get burned by a fire truck "I told her and teleported.

I finally let every complicated emotion within me. I am not very versed with my emotions.

Celeste POV

I guess he left, thank god. I feel like my heart could drop at any second right now. I am supposed to detest him for making my plan fail.

He is the first man I have loved. Kenta, my childhood friend, and my boyfriend. Well, ex.

I had to do it, but I couldn't do it in the end. I have failed to kill him. I hesitated for a minute to consider the thought of losing him forever and that one moment is enough for them to find and execute me.

He is the main reason for all of this. But still, even after that, I can't hope but...

Hope that we can live as King and Queen in another life. He is the perfect man I have dreamed but Alas reality is cruel.

Only adaptable and stronger people will survive. This is a zero-sum game after all.

"Why didn't you.....tell him that you loved him? " The other man named Utsuro asked me.

"He doesn't have to know. I don't deserve his trust after I attempted to kill him " I told him.

I still regret the decision, and how cruel and evil I have become in search of gold. I have attempted to kill my own boyfriend.

Tears have begun to fall below my cheeks with the neverending flow. I am not crying, I have dirt in my eyes. I refuse to cry like this. I don't care about him.

No matter what I have thought I simply can't ignore him..

Kenta Kiyoshi.

The man that robbed my virginity and my heart.
