Lone Wanderer Fallout 3

私と紀戸八雲（きど やくも）との結婚は、最初から秘密だった。 結婚したことを隠してきたこの3年間、私は外に言えないくらい誇れない妻として八雲のそばにいた。 外から見れば、八雲は東市協和病院第一の執刀医で、冷酷無情で、唯我独尊の存在だ。いわゆる高嶺の花である。 したし私は、ただそのそばに立っているちっぽけな麻酔科のインターン生だった。 無数の真夜中で、私はいつも1人で家でその人の帰りを待っていた。広い部屋の中、寒くてたまらなかった。 自分がもっと頑張れば、もっと優しくなれば、いつかきっと振り向いてくれると思い込んでいた。 しかし現実は無慈悲で、残酷だった。 「あの人のところにもう行かないでくれない？」私は八雲の裾をギュッと掴んで、細い声で何度もお願いをしていた。 なのに八雲ただ笑った。その笑い声から明らかな嫌味を感じた。「ただの契約なのに、紀戸の奥さんは随分役に入り込んでるね」 * 月日が経ち、八雲のあの娘の前でしか表れない優しさを見てきた。 何も言わずに、私は静かに離婚協議書1枚だけ残して、家を出た。 それから、白銀の東市で、知れ渡ったあの紀戸先生は雪に埋もれた道端で膝をついて、涙目で復縁をお願いしてきた。「優月（ゆづき）、離婚しないでくれ」 その頬からぽつりと落ちた涙は、私の目から、すでに雪のような冷たいものになった。淡々と微笑みながら、私はこう答えた。 「もしかして紀戸先生も役に入り込んでるの？ごめんね、芝居に付き合う暇はないの。契約期限はもう過ぎたわ。告白したいなら、まず列に並んでちょうだい」

私が死んで三年目、夫がようやく私のことを思い出した。 理由は、彼の幼馴染が急性骨髄性白血病を再発し、再び造血幹細胞の移植が必要になったからだ。 彼は私が住んでいた家を探し出し、私に提供同意書にサインさせようとした。 しかし、そこにはすでに誰も住んでいなかった。 彼は近所の人に尋ねた。 近所の人は言った。「真希ってあの娘のことかい？もうとっくに死んじまったよ！病気の時に骨髄提供までさせられて、その数日後には亡くなったって話だよ」 彼は信じようとせず、近所の人が私と結託して自分を騙していると思い込んだ。 彼は苛立ちを隠さず近所の人に言った。「もし彼女に会ったら伝えてくれ。三日以内に姿を見せなければ、あの女が育ててるガキの医療費は一銭も払わないってな」 近所の人は彼の頑なな態度に呆れて首を振り、その場を離れながら呟いた。「あの子もかわいそうに、もうとっくに餓死してるんだってさ……」

夫が突然、SNSにこんな投稿をした。 「この身体はすでに国のために捧げた。もう君に尽くすことは叶わない」 何のことか聞こうとしたところ、彼から研究施設がある町行きの航空券が送られてきた。 そして、「任務は機密事項で、この間は連絡を取ることができない」と告げられた。 それから10ヶ月後、本来なら研究所にいるはずの夫が突然帰ってきた。そのタイミングで、私が妊娠検査を受けているところに鉢合わせたのだ。 8ヶ月に膨らんだお腹を見て、彼の顔は真っ青になった。「俺が10ヶ月も家を空けてたのに、なんでお前が妊娠してるんだ！」 私は肩をすくめて答えた。「3年間行くんじゃなかったの？10ヶ月で帰ってくるなんて、早すぎるんじゃない？」

Sometimes there are times when your own salvation is not at all happy. For example, you managed to break away from assassins, but at the same time crossed the border of the cursed forest. Or killed the werewolf that bit you, and the first full moon, when you have to turn into a monster, is expected in only seven days. Or… when the one who agreed to help you seems more and more not a person. But maybe the latter is just not so bad after all?

She never stayed long enough to belong. Living as a lone wolf with her father, she spent her life drifting from town to town, school to school - never fitting in, always stirring up trouble. Expelled more times than she could count, each new start felt more like an escape than a fresh beginning. But everything changes the moment she meets her mate... in the middle of a high school hallway. She had always prayed for a rogue mate - someone wild and free like herself. Instead, fate ties her to someone she despises most: a wolf with a high-ranking title and the chains of duty she’s spent her whole life running from. In the end, you can only mess with others for so long before you end up wrecking your own life - and hers is about to get gloriously, heartbreakingly complicated.
