《The One and Only》Chapter 41 – Even if the whole world is corrupted by sin I will never let go the hand I hold in mine
Advertisement
Anne was covered by Harima, Shirayuki saw Harima look at Anne at the same time they looked to each other and didn’t think twice and threw herself as a shield for them resulting in her being unconsciousness and bleeding, no one was moving when Harima stepped in and said
“CALL THE AMBULANCE, SHIRAYUKI STAY WITH ME”
Harima remembered the training from Marisa about how to treat wounds, Shirayuki was not responding, he then was searching for signs of life, she was not breathing
“YAMIKO, I NEED YOUR HELP HERE!!!”
Yamiko was in shock and crying and helped Harima
“I NEED YOU TO PUT PRESSURE HERE”
He showed her the bleeding areas
“DON’T BE SCARED NOW, SHIRAYUKI WILL BE ALRIGHT, TRUST ME!!”
He started to give RCP to Shirayuki and she started breathing and Harima finally got to rest, the ambulance was arriving and took Shirayuki to the nearest hospital, Yamiko then hugged Harima and started to cry louder, Anne was still in shock while holding Princess Alejandra hand
Sunset July 5th Royal London Hospital Emergency
“her vital signs have stabilized”
“thanks Doctor”
“you can come in if you want”
Yamiko and Princess Alejandra entered the room, Harima and Princess Anne were outside, Anne was still in shock and Harima was with his hands on his head supporting them on his knees
“Harima, you saved her”
“……”
“and you saved me….”
“why did she do that?”
“is her job to protect, she is a bodyguard”
“but, she is your bodyguard not mine”
“you are thinking too much about it, she is ok now”
Harima haven’t realized that he was the hero of last chapter, and he was searching for an explanation of why did Shirayuki risk her life for him, he didn’t think it was love at the beginning because, what would be the point of dying for someone? dying for someone that you love is like leaving the burden of your death for the rest of her life to someone that you loved , it would not be a sacrifice but a curse, making the person who you loved live with the memory of you dying for them”

Inside the room
“you went too far this time sister”
“the royal family is in debt with you now Izanami”
Yamiko started to cry
“we are not supposed to show our feelings sis, so don’t cry”
Yamiko held Shirayuki hand, Shirayuki was able to sit and walk because Harima treat her on time and the shot didn’t touch her vital organs, she was going to stay the night and be ready to leave next morning
“…….is Harima here?”
“yes, he is outside”
“can you tell him that I want to talk to him?”
“sure”
Outside the room
“Harima, Shirayuki want to talk to you”
“ok”
Harima entered the room, Shirayuki was sitting on a chair next to the window, Harima could not stop what he was feeling, he was scared during the whole pursue and didn’t expect the things that happened, and tears were flowing from his eyes
“why is the hero crying at a time like this?”
He then threw himself at Shirauki lap and could not stop crying, Shirayuki started to cry in silence and her tears were falling on Harima hair and then Shirayuki said
“Thank you for saving me”
Harima told her, while crying, that she was the one who saved him
After several minutes, Harima stopped crying and sat next to Shirayuki on the bed
“Thank you”
“why?”
“you saved me”
“but you save me after”
“it was the first time that someone decide to put their life in the line for me”
“I’m used to it, I’m a bodyguard after all”
She took Harima hand and then she put her shoulder against Harima’s
“it was very brave to see you cover Princess Anne with your life”
Harima held Shirayuki hand tight
“I just could not accept to see her get hurt”
“well, the same happened to me when I saw you protect her”
“what do you mean?”
“I didn’t want you to get hurt”
“but you put your life at risk”
“that is my job”
Then Harima grabbed Shirayuki shoulder and told her
“look, I don’t want you to get hurt because of me”
She looked at him

“but you know, I will”
“why?”
She then got close to him and kissed him
“what are you doing?”
“we already kissed, don’t we?”
“when?”
Harima remembered RCP |oh crap|
“Yamiko told me”
“that was different”
Both looked to the opposite side and turned red
“look, I let you rest so we can leave tomorrow”
“ok, …. Harima”
“yes?”
“thank you”
“you are welcome”
Outside the room Anne was crying and very angry at Alejandra
“you have to understand that I cannot let you go to Hiratsuka after this incident”
“I’m doing this for you sister, why don’t you understand!!!!!”
“you are the one who don’t understand!!!!, people is getting hurt because of this childish desire of you and I cannot allow it”
“……”
“we are leaving at 4am so get your things ready”
“did I miss something?”
“we are going back to Luxemburg Harima; a helicopter will come for us tonight”
Princess Alejandra left with Yamiko and Yamiko said to Harima
“I’ll wait for you at the entrance”
Harima sat next to Anne who was really sad and looked frustrated because she was not going to be able to go to Hiratsuka, and then she looked at Harima
“Harima….”
She grabbed his hand with her two hands
“I beg your help”
She was crying
“take me to Hiratsuka, my sister doesn’t understand but I know you will, because you gave your life for me, without knowing who really I’m”
Harima then looked at her
“if you take me to Hiratsuka I’ll tell you my secret”
Then Harima answered
“Listen, even if the whole world is corrupted by sin I’ll never let go the hand I hold in mine, that’s all you need to have faith in”
That did sound pretty neat but then Anne asked
“what does that mean?”
“is a yes”
He hugged him
“we have to find a way to escape though”
At the Heliport
Anne told Harima
“would you fly with me?”
“Why would you fly with me?”
Harima felt a flashback
“here is the helicopter, let’s go together”
“are you sure you want to go with me?”
“Are you alright Harima?”
“are you afraid of heights?”
“no, it looks like I lived this moment before”
“deja vu?”
The pilot of the helicopter was our friend who has not shown herself since chapter 26th, Sarasvati
|c’mon Harima, I need more screen time and I need to find out what happened to you|
They started to fly and Princess Alejandra was in front of Anne and Yamiko was in front of Harima
“I will send people for Shirayuki tomorrow”
Anne then decided to take her last resort and got close to Harima ear
“promise me that you won’t let my hand go”
He looked at her and she smiled and then looked to Alejandra
“sister, this is the last chance for you to let me go to Hiratsuka”
Alejandra looked at her and noticed that she was serious
“Anne, I can’t----“
Once Anne heard the word “can’t” from Alejandra mouth, the time stopped, she then opened the door of the helicopter and jumped without parachute, Harima looked surprised and didn’t think twice and went for her without parachute as well, Alejandra and Yamiko were in shock and Alejandra gave a parachute to Yamiko and told her
“Please keep them safe”
On the Air
Anne was feeling lonely when she jumped and saw the light of the Helicopter, the sun started to rise and she closed her eyes for a second hoping that everything would end now that she jumped without parachute, but one second later someone was coming for her and took her in the air and hugged her tight, she was crying, and she noticed that he was without parachute as well
“WHY, WHY DID YOU COME FOR ME!!!!!”
They were falling and she started to cry
“I TOLD YOU THAT I WOULD TAKE YOU TO HIRATSUKA DIDN’T I?”
“BUT YOU WONT IF YOU DIE, YOU DON’T HAVE A PARACHUTE”
then someone else joined them
“HOLD ME TIGHT YOU RETARDS!!!!!!! AND TELL ME WHEN READY”
“YOU READY ANNE???????”
“YYEEESSSSSS”
“WE ARE READY YAMIKO!!!!!!”
“OOOOOOOOKKKKK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

Handyman
Real science is done on the edge of knowledge. If done correctly, you really are not certain of the outcomes. If done incorrectly, people can get hurt. This is the story of a researcher tossed across reality. Current update schedule is entirely sporadic, but I do commit to not dropping the story. I'm aiming for 1 small chapter a month at the moment.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
