Two years had passed since itomori became my official girlfriend and every day of my life had become full of joy I was extremely happy for that. Yesterday, the first strange occurrence happened in the town. the news said that a wanted group of illegal mercenaries were able to get into town and were exploiting the citizens for a hideout. This was indeed something very strange, as our city is relatively quiet most of the time, except for small crimes such as robbery and the likes.

During my return from school I noticed that Itomori chan looked extremely distressed and on the verge of crying, although we always helped each other if the other was in need, this was the first time that itomori isn't opening up to me. I thought it was weird, but she said it was nothing, although I didn't like to pry in her stuff this time it really looked like she was in dire need of help, so I tried to ask again, but instead of negating that she didn't need help, she ran off crying toward the courtyard where we used (and still did) train krav maga. Obviously, after I ran after her I found her curled up sobbing behind one of the big trees. Instead of trying to force her anymore I instead opted to first calm her down by putting around my jacket and hugging her from the front, for which she clung onto my shirt and continued her muffled cries with her head buried in my chest.

After she was able to calm down, she decided that it would be best if I knew the situation and so she started explaining to my great surprise. Remember the mercenary group that we talked about, yeah, they took itomori’s family hostage, and don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. She said that they beat her grandpa and even raped her mom to which dad couldn't do anything, she broke down crying again as she said that the only reason they didn't rape her too was because she had to keep going to school to keep a facade. Realizing the significance of these words I didn't think about it twice and asked her if she knew how many they were in total. after getting the most amount of information I was able to conclude this much:

number of mercenaries:

6

leaders:

2

hostages:

3

To calm her down further and to get her back to her normal state I told her that we were going to liberate everyone, to which her usual scary sparkling gaze appeared again.

The only problem? During the mission, I was shot and killed by the last of the mercenaries.

Luckily itomori was able to take him down but only after I got shot by him in the abdomen. To be honest I was pretty sure that I was going to survive, as you usually see guys in movies surviving after only a shot in the stomach but this wasn't the case, as the projectile penetrated into my spleen ripping it apart and causing an incredible infection. Added to the loss of blood I died a few minutes before they could get me to the hospital. At least it looks like I died in her lap, while she was crying over me. I can’t exactly say I dislike the way I died, but oh well...

And that leads us to now.
