Dark Widow
"As I live, there’s always a choice waiting for me to make. Sometimes, I might be unwilling to make it, but how long could it last?"
When running away is no longer the option, the choice must be faced.
After wars, Kanmusus finally got the time to enjoy the daily lives they had dreamed and to settle down.
Some of them chose to live in the countryside, yet some of them like to do what they were best.
And Zuihou, she chose to have a balanced life: not away from the city, and not away from the working as well.
She got a job in a small company. It may be small to others, but at least she had her desk.
When she started to get used to her new job, she then noticed herself getting trapped in the conspiracy. A great plan which was most possibly plotted by Kanmusus’ archenemy: the Abyssals.
The reason for her to realize this, was from the time as she uncovered the identity of her coworker as the Abyssals.
From this moment, Zuihou understood that she may be released from her duty, but she must know the line between duty and obligation.
She could pretend that these girls were just like them, tried to find a way to blend in. And she could turn a blind eye on them, believe the war did end the conflicts.
If she chose to ignore it, this loose end would never be tied.
“I suppose it is time for me to make some moves.”
Zuihou decided to give herself a mission, infiltrate the enemy base, and crush them for good.
