Milim that's the Crimson Liza, Zoe, Sophie and the others found. Rita said she was nice, but is she really?
Milim: "Hello… my name is Milim… Dahlia…"
Sophie: "ugh… ghhhhhhhh…"
Sophie pulled out her gun.
Sophie: "You filthy Crimson!"
Rita: "hey!"
Sophie: "You killed… you killed my friends… you killed Hänsel!"
Milim: "Hänsel?…"
She looked at her.
Milim: "Why aim at someone just because they're a Crimson?"
Dante: "Because you eat human flesh…"
Sophie: "ghhhh…"
Milim: "Please, put the gun down…"
Sophie: "huh."
Milim: "Hehe…"
Suddenly a very dark… evil aura appeared.
(…the hands of the dead… again)…
Sophie: "ughh…"
(Pump!… Pump!… Pump!)
Sophie: "ghhhh…"
(sssssss…)
Dante: "What…"
Liza: "Ugh…"
They fell to the ground.
Liza: "ghhhh…"
Sophie: "Hahh…"
Milim: "…I don't like being looked down on like that… you know."
Sophie: "ghhhh…"
Dante: "…hhhhh…"
Sophie: "…grrrr…"
Sophie got up a little.
Milim: "oho…"
Sophie: "…you… don't scare me…"
Sophie walked forward.
Sophie: "ghhhh…"
She spat blood.
Sophie: "I… will… kill you… every… single one of you."
Milim: "hmmm…"
Sophie fell back to the ground.
Liza: "huh…"
Milim: "hehe… you're not that strong."
Liza: "That's enough!"
Suddenly Liza was behind her.
Milim: "ugh!... how…"
The Gift: "ugh…"
Liza: "…I said… that's… enough…"
Blood flowed from Milim's body. What frightened Milim, however, were Liza's eyes eyes that even the spirit of the dead could not calm.
Milim: "those eyes…"
Liza: "…can't you hear?"
Milim: "hmmm."
Suddenly it stopped.
Milim: "Interesting…"
Liza: "…hahhh…"
Milim: "…that can't be… how…"
Liza: "…(Bleargh!)"
She vomited.
Milim: "ugh…"
Liza: "Oops… I puked on you…"
Milim: "…that's not bad… you probably deserved it…"
(A few minutes later)
Milim: "hmmm…"
She hummed. Sophie woke up; she was lying on Milim's lap.
Sophie: "What kind of… game are you playing now?"
Milim: "No game at all…"
Liza: "Calm down, Sophie…"
Sophie: "Calm down? I'm sitting… on the lap of a Crimson… and you tell me to calm down…"
Kenn: "Calm down… now… please…"
Milim: "…don't worry… I don't eat human flesh."
Zoe: "Why?"
Dante: "Hmm?"
Milim: "…A long time ago… there was someone who cared for me… it was a human… I was still a child that day… they cared for me… they had no fear of me… they stroked me… it was a woman… she cared for me, embraced me… even kissed my forehead… slept next to me at night… I… I don't know why. We Crimson normally eat human flesh, and that was three hundred—well, more than three hundred—years ago… but before more than three hundred years passed… that changed… eventually the woman died… of old age… and I decided not to eat humans."
Dante: "Are all Crimson cannibals?"
Milim: "…yes… except me, of course…"
Kenn: "Have you ever eaten human flesh?"
Milim: "My Crimson mother, before she died, sometimes gave me human flesh…"
Jill: "Be honest… I'll ask now does it taste good to you and do you still crave it?"
Milim: "…it tastes… fantastic. You humans have different kinds of meat and each of you tastes different… your brains are the tastiest they're full of flesh, but also slimy… and yes… I have eaten human flesh… but…"
She showed her belly.
Milim: "That's why I removed a part of my stomach!"
Sophie: "ugh."
Jill: "ugh."
Dante: "…hahh…"
Milim: "I removed a part of my stomach… this is the part that increases hunger… it hurts like hell… but…"
Rita: "You shouldn't have… that looks painful."
Milim: "I don't want to eat humans. We Crimson have certain parts in the stomach our stomach is bigger than a human's, almost twice as large… it has four compartments: one for meat, another for plants, the other for water and liquids, and the fourth… for Crimson."
Sophie: "Wait… what…"
Crimson: "When a Crimson dies… we eat it…"
Jill: "Ugh…"
Sophie: "You are really strange beings…"
Dante: "Crimson are really strange…"
Milim: "…well… because I don't eat humans, I eat other Crimson instead."
Dante: "You eat your own kind?"
Milim: "…Crimson are hard to kill. If you don't kill them properly, they might come back. You must kill them by hitting their core — in our case that's our mask."
Dante: "Why?"
Sophie: "Mask?"
Milim: "Simply because the mask protects our eyes. We are not creatures of the morning… we are night beings, you know."
Jill: "That makes sense… but why not just decapitate?"
Milim: "Of course the head… but first you must remove the mask and burn the eyes. That is our weak spot. Then you must shoot a Crimson in two places: one the heart/core, so to speak and two — the neck. But I warn you: stronger Crimson can live longer and, by the way, we Crimson can relocate our hearts to other places. Sophie… so…"
Sophie: "ugh… yes?"
Milim: "Please stand up."
Sophie: "huh!... Right…"
She stood up immediately.
Milim: "Good, I will show you now."
She opened her mouth and something inside began to move. It moved up until her mouth opened wide and then she pulled her heart out with her hands through her mouth.
(Blub!)
Milim: "Look…"
Sophie: "iii…"
Jill: "ugh… I feel like vomiting…"
(pump!) (pump!) (pump!)
Milim: "We can move our hearts to other places. Not only that… we can live up to five hours without the heart pumping — so don't be surprised if a Crimson attacks you…"
Dante: "Could we see you without the mask?"
Milim: "I mean… it's almost night now, the sun is going down… wait a bit…"
(Seconds later)
A few seconds passed until the sun was no longer visible, at least through the big hole above the bunker… Milim took off her mask. If anyone had expected a terrifying face, they were mistaken.
Sophie: "ugh…"
Dante: "ugh…"
Kenn: "…oh…"
Zoe: "Ohhhah… what…"
Jill: "…that… is it…"
She had large eyes and looked… somewhat human — nose, eyes, even a normal-sized mouth.
Milim: "…this is what I look like…"
But she had a wound from the mouth extending to the cheek.
Milim: "I got this wound from my Crimson father… hehe… it's normal in my family that parents try to eat their children…"
The only things that looked inhuman were her eyes — though they appeared human, they were a bit different. Her eyelashes were, for example, made of leaves — they looked like leaves. Her mouth had a purple color, the lilac hue common among Crimson. As for hands and feet… Milim actually had three hands: two like a normal person's and one on her back. Her legs were more human-like but looked somewhat like a fish's. She also had four holes in the hand area. The hand on the back held a bell. Her ears looked like an elf's ears — just a bit longer. There were a few marks on the side of the ear (a wound) and a diamond-like mark on the forehead.
Sophie: "you… actually… surprisingly… are pretty."
Dante: "Yes…"
Milim: "Hehe… you think so… thanks…"
Jill: "One question… you resemble an elf… why?"
Milim: "Good observation. Some things make us resemble elves it's symbolic. We are dark elves. Not all of us, but some like me — I'm a highly intelligent type called Crimson night walker. We can speak, look somewhat human… and well, people think Crimson are more troll-like or Oni-like."
Dante: "I understand…"
Sophie: "…hmmm…"
Sophie stood up.
Dante: "Where to…"
Sophie: "I want to find Hänsel… find his body."
Dante: "Are you crazy?"
Sophie: "…no…"
Liza: "Ah… Sophie…"
Sophie: "I failed to help them both… him and Gretel… I even personally killed Gretel… I failed as an older sister. We aren't blood-related, but still I was like a big sister to her and I looked at her like a sibling…"
Sophie walked on.
Jill: "…Sophie…"
Sophie: "Leave me alone…"
She went slightly away, walking with grief on her face.
(A few minutes later)
Sophie: "hahhh… ugh…"
She hid.
There was a Crimson.
Crimson: "ghrrrrrrr…"
He held Hänsel's body the two severed parts of him. Sophie ran, leaped, and stabbed him in the neck.
Crimson: "ghrrrrrr…"
Sophie: "This is… my… friend!"
She then stabbed him in the heart; he fell dead to the ground.
Sophie: "hahhh… a low-ranking Crimson it seems… not the one who killed Hänsel…"
She went to the corpse.
Sophie: "…(sob)…"
There he lay… with wide-open eyes… dismembered…
Sophie: "hahhh… I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry… my Hänsel…"
She held his cheeks.
Sophie: "…ghhhhh… (sob)… I'm sorry… I should have… I should have saved you… ghhhh… I'm so sorry…"
She closed his eyes and kissed his forehead.
Sophie: "I love you… I hope… you can find your sister… in the fields of flowers…"
She stood up and started to dig.
Sophie: "ghhh…"
Suddenly she felt someone hold her hand — it was Kenn.
Sophie: "Ugh…"
Kenn: "…let me help you…"
Sophie: "…Kenn."
Sophie looked at him.
Kenn: "You don't have to do it alone… my love…"
Sophie: "hhmmm…"
They kept digging. Since they had no shovel they had to use their hands.
Sophie: "hahh…"
Sophie looked at Kenn.
Sophie: "…thank you…"
They finished.
Kenn: "…he was a good person…"
Sophie: "…he was…"
Kenn: "hmmm."
He held Sophie's cheeks.
Kenn: "He respected you and loved you… like a big brother…"
Sophie: "No… I know… that Hänsel… had feelings for me…"
Kenn: "I know…"
Sophie: "Then why did you say he saw me as a big sister… do you think he would get even more perverse if he imagined I was his big sister?"
Kenn: "What… No…"
Sophie: "…hmmm."
Kenn: "uh…"
Sophie: "Hehe… let's go back…"
Kenn: "…ok…"
They walked away… they headed back.
Sophie: "What do you think about this Crimson girl?"
Kenn: "I don't know."
Sophie: "I don't trust her…"
Kenn: "I understand… still… she told us quite a bit… the weakness, for example… even if it might not be true."
Sophie: "But… I just killed a Crimson… she was right."
Kenn: "What… really."
Sophie: "mhm…"
Kenn: "…I think I might have been wrong…"
Sophie: "Maybe… maybe not… or maybe she's both nice and full of secrets…"
Sophie looked at Kenn.
Sophie: "What do you think?"
Kenn: "I don't know…"
Kenn looked at Sophie.
Kenn: "…Sophie… tell me something."
Sophie: "Yes…"
Kenn: "…um… could I ask you something?"
Sophie: "Yes? Sure?"
Kenn: "Could it be… that you're jealous of Milim?"
Sophie: "eh?… why…"
Kenn: "uh… I don't know…"
he was nervous
Kenn: "Really not."
Sophie: "…then why did you stare at it so much?"
Kenn: "I like women, yes… but human women… just like you…"
Sophie: "Oh… but I'm half Sirus… half infected…"
Kenn: "oh… well…"
Sophie: "hehe… never mind…"
Kenn: "Sophie… you're the only one… you're the only one who makes me nervous… because you're so pretty."
Sophie: "Don't speak like a romantic, I don't like that."
Kenn: "But I mean it."
Sophie: "Aha…"
She stopped.
Sophie: "Would you like to have a family someday?"
Kenn: "…yes."
Sophie: "That was direct…"
Kenn: "With you… no problem… gladly 30 Kids If you want
Sophie: "30 kids?"
Kenn: " 30!…"
Sophie: "ugh!… you're more pervert than I thought… maybe you are a perverted Kenn-lein rather than a decent Kenn-lein."
Kenn: "Who do you prefer?"
Sophie: "Good question…"
She held his cheeks.
Sophie: "I like the decent one… Kenn… hehe…"
She smiled and walked on.
Sophie: "Come on, the others are waiting… both of you…"
Kenn: "Yes…"
He walked to her… she held his hand.
Kenn: "ugh…"
Sophie: "Hmm… (blushing)… may I?"
Kenn: "Gladly…"
