Summer Must Die (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 4
“Summer. The decision is yours to make.”
“……”
After hearing the explanation, Summer couldn’t speak for a long while. It wasn’t something anyone could readily answer.
Fay, apparently frustrated by Summer’s silence, irritably strode over and grabbed Summer firmly by the collar.
“You said you absolutely had to go back, right? What’s left to hesitate about?”
“But that method is still……”
“Judging by your conditions, you must still have some room to spare, huh? Fine, I’ll give you time to think.”
Fay released Summer with a dismissive toss and haughtily lifted her chin.
Summer looked up at Fay with hazy eyes, her face pale from the shocking revelation.
“How long do I have?”
“Give me your answer before dawn breaks.”
“And if I can’t give you an answer?”
“I’ll abandon you in this world. Forever.”
Though Fay’s words were a perfect bluff, Summer believed them wholeheartedly and was instantly terrified. Being left alone in this world was horrifying.
Yet, she still couldn’t bring herself to say she’d choose that method.
Time slowly passed. Fay, trying hard to appear composed, fidgeted nervously with her hands.
Summer sat on the bed like a marionette with its strings cut, thinking and thinking again.
Less than thirty minutes passed before the impatient Fay spoke up once more.
“If there’s anything bothering you, just ask me anything.”
At Fay’s words, Summer appeared to hesitate briefly before slowly opening her mouth.
“What happens to me if it fails?”
“There won’t be any failure. Among witches, I’m the most capable.”
Fay proudly puffed out her chest with a confident expression.
“But just in case, what if that method fails?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll find you a suitable alternative place.”
Understanding Fay’s implication, Summer’s expression turned grave.
“In this world, or in my original world?”
“Though it’s something that will absolutely never happen, if it somehow fails, you’ll have to stay in this world. But remember this—even without using that method, you’ll still remain here until you die.”
“……”
Time passed again.
To Summer, this time felt far too swift, but to Fay, it was excruciatingly long.
“Damn it! Is this really something worth agonizing over? A great witch like me is personally offering to help you—what on earth are you hesitating about!”
“I’m sorry.”
Fay let out a frustrated scream and wildly tousled her own hair.
Summer flinched at her outburst. Either way, Fay was equally frightening.
Seeing Summer’s reaction, Fay forced a gentle tone and reached out her hand.
“Alright, I understand. Since you came from another world, you might not know how extraordinary witches are—or how incredibly extraordinary I am among them all. It’s fine to doubt me!”
Summer nodded repeatedly at Fay’s passionate speech. Indeed, it was hard to believe in Fay’s existence from the start.
The novel had mentioned the Black Forest, a place inhabited by strange beings, but there had been no character named Fay.
With no prior information, trust was naturally impossible.
“Now, let’s shake hands first. As I said, my name is Fay. And yours?”
“I’m Summer Lindsey.”
Summer took Fay’s hand with a puzzled expression.
After all, Fay had known about Summer from the very beginning and had sought her out. Likewise, Summer already knew Fay’s name was Fay.
Fay smirked knowingly at Summer’s reaction.
“Oh, soul with black hair. You surely have another name.”
Fay smiled gently. Summer stared blankly as if struck on the head, then suddenly burst into tears.
Yes. She wasn’t Summer Lindsey. But,
“I can’t… I can’t remember.”
She couldn’t recall her real name. She remembered living in South Korea, a black cat, her parents—but what did their faces even look like?
What about friends? Wait, had she even had any friends? The school she attended—she couldn’t recall that either.
Setting everything else aside, what about her name?
Still nothing came to mind. No matter how hard she strained her memory, all she vaguely recalled was that she’d once belonged to another world.
At Summer’s words, Fay’s expression grew deliberately serious.
“That’s truly serious. It means your soul is gradually merging into this body.”
Thankfully, her black hair had resisted adapting to Summer’s body so fiercely that it had delayed the process this much.
Still, it seemed the fusion of body and soul had already progressed considerably.
At this rate, soon the black-haired girl would completely forget who she truly was and become Summer Lindsey.
Therefore, if possible, it had to be done quickly.
“Then what should I do?”
Summer sobbed loudly, smearing her tear-streaked cheeks with her hands. Fay awkwardly sat beside her and patted her back.
This was indeed grave—because a name carried the meaning of one’s existence.
Judging by the current state, the remaining time to safely return to her original world was roughly,
“About half a year.”
“……What’s half a year?”
“The deadline to return to your original world. Half a year.”
“Why are you only telling me this now!”
Summer suddenly lifted her head, stifling a choked sob. Fay blinked with wide, seemingly innocent eyes, showing no sign of surprise.
“Because I just found you now, didn’t I?”
“Hoooeeng… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that……”
“I know. Just go ahead and cry.”
Summer apologized and collapsed back onto the bed. Fay sighed softly and gently smoothed Summer’s disheveled hair.
“Do you really hate that method that much?”
“Of course I do!”
Summer shot upright and shouted. That witch clearly had zero empathy.
How could she so shamelessly suggest such a method!
“But there’s no other way.”
“I know that! But knowing something with your head and accepting it with your heart are two different things!”
“Why are they different?”
At the witch’s naively puzzled question, Summer sighed deeply, as if the earth itself were caving in.
Just thinking about that method made her fingertips go so cold they felt numb. Her blood seemed to freeze on its own.
She wanted to return to her original world.
More fundamentally, she didn’t want to lose herself.
This wasn’t just a mere wish—it was a desperate plea steeped in anxiety and terror, as if her very life were at stake.
She didn’t want to lose her name. She didn’t want to lose those 25 years she’d clawed her way through. She wanted to live.
Yes, *she* wanted to live.
Out of nowhere, a witch had come through the window.
And the only method that witch offered to return to her original world was,
death in this world.
[This is the timeline separator]Fay stood out even among witches.
As the leader-like figure among them, she easily knew the most efficient way to repair the damaged rift.
To restore nature to its original state, that young and adorable child needed to settle into one body.
There were only two ways to achieve this:
either let her fully assimilate into this world or send her back to her original world.
“Will it hurt a lot?”
“What happened to that bold spirit you had earlier, declaring you’d do anything? Was it all just hot air?”
“It’s not that, but……”
But did she really need to explain all this to that black-haired girl? Sometimes, when persuading someone, it was better not to mention details that might work against you.
Fay’s violet eyes glimmered in the light.
“When you say ‘die,’ Fay, you mean literal death, right? My breath must completely stop?”
“Yes. Only then can I send you back to your original world and return Summer’s soul to her body.”
Fay answered nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal, then sat on the bed and idly wiggled her feet.
At those words, Summer burst into loud sobs. Fay was taken aback by Summer’s crying—hadn’t she said she wanted to go back?
Witches didn’t understand the fear of death.
Thus, she couldn’t comprehend why Summer was crying so desperately.
Yet, since she still needed Summer, she awkwardly and endlessly stroked and patted her.
She had to calm her down before she went completely mad.
After a long while, when Summer finally cried herself to sleep, Fay transformed back into a cat and nestled into Summer’s arms.
“It feels a bit warmer now.”
“It’s not your fault that this world has broken.”
Fay’s eyes flickered faintly before slowly closing.
Exhausted, Summer fell asleep, and soon Fay began purring softly, drifting off right there in Summer’s embrace.
She needed to stay close—when Summer eventually separated her soul, Fay had to catch her immediately and send her back to her original world.
Fortunately, Summer seemed strongly determined about ‘returning.’
“Not bad.”
That was Fay’s first impression of Summer.
[This is the timeline separator]“Fay? Fay!”
Awakening from sleep, Summer cried out in alarm upon realizing Fay wasn’t beside her.
From under the desk, Fay, now transformed into a black cat, approached with a lazy yawn.
“What’s wrong?”
“I just… I thought you’d left for good.”
Summer’s voice wavered.
Fay vaguely understood now why Summer was so eager to leave this world quickly.
The black-haired soul, having lost her name, was afraid.
“Well, fair enough.”
Even to the witches, this world seemed a little strange.
“Have you decided? Dawn’s already broken, and morning has come.”
“Well,”
Just as Summer was about to answer with a resolute expression, the door opened.
