Chapter 6: The End of All
"Great… Wedding…" Mamori couldn't imagine anything worse. "If he wants me he can just tell me that. But instead, he made up all sorts of irrelevant excuses for himself to manipulate everyone else around him. What a Devil…" She muttered to herself.
"And you still won't talk to me, will you, Suzuna?" said Mamori, "I should have known that you're linked to the guy. And I know that things are already out of your control so… Nevermind."
Suzuna just gave her a creepy smile as reply. They walked on.
Soon, Mamori saw that huge red piano again. The Devil was standing on the top of it. He and Suzuna had the same smile.
"You've finally come, Anezaki…" The Devil laughed, "No more reasoning and fighting for those brats?"
Mamori turned her head away, "I don't think anything I do would change your mind now."
"Brilliant! I can see you've got things on your mind that you don't wish to tell me. But since you've come, I might as well…"
"Stop there, Devil!" Someone shouted from the entrance, it was Sena.
As the three looked back, they saw Sena, Monta and the gang of police behind them. Among the policemen there were two rather queer ones. One was huge and had a chestnut head and the other one couldn't stop playing with his ear.
"Drop your weapons now!" The chestnut-headed ordered.
"Idiot, there was never any weapon in their hands!" The ear-playing guy said.
Hearing their idiotic conversation, the Devil couldn't tolerate anymore and yelled, "Fuck! I've told you this is stupid! Look at them, fucking manager, they are turning all the burning-hot fun into fucking dirt! This whole thing is stupid. The script is the most rubbish…"
"Watch your mouth, Hiruma-kun. You never how hard it is to write a script, I spent…"
"Shut up, fucking manager, you're putting out the last spark of fun."
With an evil smile, Hiruma threw away his silver mask and pull out his collection of firearms and started shooting from the ceiling to the floor, and from the backstage to the audience.
"Ya-Ha! Hear it, fucking manager? Forget about those sissy songs 'cause this is the music you've been wanting to hear – the music of the night! Ya-Ha!"
Covering her ears, Mamori sighed, "I should never have thought that putting him in this play was a good idea. I was naïve enough to believe that he was actually willing to call me 'Anezaki' as the script told him to. And I never knew that Suzuna-chan would ACTUALLY play along with him. How did he bribe you? You don't even go to our school."
Suzuna giggled with her antenna spinning, "You-nii never bribed me. He just told me that he hated your script and wanted to do something about it… And he thought if I joined the play it would be more convenient for him to, you know, turn the place into hell."
"And what about Wakana-chan? You exposed her relationship with Takami to the whole world. I think they'll have something to say about that."
"Actually, Mamo-neechan, that was just You-nii's order. I never knew she would be in it either!"
And although none of them would notice, Senator Takami was actually waiting in the backstage for his appearance in the final scene. But since they never got to the final scene, he could only stand behind the curtains and almost got himself shot.
The play "Devil of the Opera" ended in a way that nobody other than Hiruma Youichi had ever expected.
The next day, if you dare to peek under the window of one of the most dangerous place in the world – the Deimon Amefuto clubhouse, you would see a girl, with her head on a boy's shoulder, complaining about all those nightmares she had the night before.
"The hall was totally destroyed and it's won't be fixed until God knows when."
"That fucking old man would like this – a God-knows-when-it-ends contract with the school for fixing the hall."
"It was part of your plan, wasn't it, Hiruma-kun?"
"Whatever. The hall needs some renewing anyway. I'm doing that fucking principal a favor!"
"How dare you say that! He's basically your puppet! There's no way he can stand up to you when you've had all his dirty secrets in you notebook!"
Hiruma just smiled evilly and got up, "What was your original idea of an ending?"
Mamori shook her head, "I'm not gonna say anything because whatever I say would lead to you laughing me. I'm not stupid."
"No, you're stupid. What if I promise to shut up about whatever you say?"
"You promise?"
Hiruma nodded, still smiling.
"Well, the original ending was…"
And if you are brave enough to stay long enough under that window, you'll probably see the girl kissing the boy on his cheek.
"And they lived happily ever after…"
Hiruma did keep his promise. But at that moment, he couldn't stop thinking, "What a sissy fucking happy ending this is…"
But since the end of the play is so identical to their relationship, he couldn't think of anything better.
