BIA Ch. 146
No matter the excuse, he couldn't stop the tears welling in his eyes. Isaiah finally pulled his eye away from the scope and wiped his tears with the back of his hand. Beside him, Kestrel muttered in disbelief. "What the, you, you… crying?" "Be quiet." Isaiah mumbled lowly, wiping his tears. The sound of Mickey and Samuel, watching from behind, gasping in shock could be heard. "…Samuel." Suddenly, as if remembering something, Mickey called Samuel's name. When Samuel looked over, Mickey…-

BIA Ch. 145
“That’s right. The ledgers.” Isaiah took his eye off the scope and looked at Samuel. Samuel picked up one of the notebooks and muttered as he flipped through it. “No, this is……, it’s a ledger, alright.” “Why?” When asked if there was a problem, Samuel put down the notebook in his hand and picked up another one lying next to it. He quickly scanned the contents, flipping through the pages, then put that one down and immediately picked up the one next to it. After skimming…-

BIA Ch. 144
"Ah, yes…" I'll keep that in mind… Samuel barely managed to answer. Bran gave Samuel's arm a light tap, then spoke to Isaiah standing beside him. "Well then, see you in a bit." In a bit… will we really see each other again? Isaiah wanted to say that, but the words wouldn't come out. Bran didn't give Isaiah a chance to speak either, turning away. It looked like he was heading towards the back door. What on earth does he trust so much to turn away so readily? Does he really think we'll…-

BIA Ch. 143
"You can probably guess his condition after being shot from this distance, right? The dog wasn't cute to begin with, and now he's even less so." Isaiah flinched involuntarily at the image that instantly came to mind. "Though, in my eyes, this look is actually more bearable." Contrary to his joking tone, the grip pressing on the back of his head was incredibly rough. Come to think of it, even the joke itself was quite terrifying. Only his tone and voice were gentle. His ears, still muffled from…-

BIA Ch. 142
“Suddenly, you, you said you weren’t, weren’t turned on, that you wouldn’t do it! Even though you were the one who suggested it! You asked if I, if I wanted you to do it!” Hearing it now, he remembered. At Virginia’s house, Chester had been hitting on him so persistently that he’d briefly considered it, but then he saw the tattoo Isaiah Diaz had arbitrarily inked onto his body, got angry, and decided against it. It was something he had literally forgotten completely, and more…-

BIA Ch. 141
“You crazy bastard! Wh-what grounds do you have to spout such bullshit! Why would Father, why me!” “Why? Just looking at your state now makes it obvious.” Isaiah brushed his leg off with irritation. He had only brushed it off lightly, but perhaps because Chester had no strength, he was sent sprawling at once. It was clearly an action meant to tell him to get lost, but seeing him collapse so limply and sob didn't sit right with him. If he had just shot him dead, it wouldn't have felt this…-

BIA Ch. 140
It sounded as if he wanted to do everything for him now, things he couldn't do back then. How could I explain this feeling, this incomprehensible emotion? This feeling, having made a choice wanting to be this man's only salvation, only to realize it could become a lifelong hell instead. How, in what way, could I possibly express this heart that is so happy yet agonizingly painful? Just breathing in hurt my heart, yet at the same time, I felt so good it made the hair on my head stand on end. My solar…-

— Thwack! The distinct, powerful report of the AT rifle reverberated throughout the chapel. The high ceiling seemed to amplify the sound even further. The head of the target, visible in the scope just moments ago, vanished instantly without a trace. The distance was too close. Well, dying this way or that way didn't make much difference. What mattered was that the pain was gone. I hoped Martino would show me at least that much mercy. Probably too much to ask. Since he already had the gun in…-

BIA Ch. 138
Isaiah, holding back a smile, kissed Bran first this time. "Then just how many did I kill alone?" "A few more and it'll be a hundred." "I killed half the Kalisz members myself." Sweet kisses were exchanged several times, incongruous with the grim conversation. Finally, Bran sucked Isaiah's lower lip with a soft smack, then whispered in an utterly affectionate, yet very secretive voice. "So, what did you get from Martino in exchange for taking care of twenty men's share?" The chillingly…-

BIA Ch. 137
“…….” Isaiah lowered the rifle he had raised to shoulder height. “Why did you come?” Bran asked, squinting his left eye. Could he be hurt? For a moment, Isaiah felt his heart plummet. The hand gripping the rifle trembled. To hide his agitation, Isaiah slung the rifle over his shoulder and deliberately spoke playfully. “Hmm, because I heard the voice of Yahweh echoing amidst the flames?” Bran wiped his face with a relatively less bloodstained part of his shirt and…-
