第1章：白夜

white night

When I woke up, I found myself a white-haired, red-eyed "monster" wandering in the ruins of Tokyo—a "cursed child" despised by the world.

But I know that inside this body lies a soul that does not belong here, and a cold memory that knows the tragedy to come.

This is not a game.

This is "Black Bullet," a desperate world where children are used as weapons and hope is sold by the gram.

The roars of Gastrea echoed outside the walls, while human malice festered within. And girls like me rotted in the cracks.

But I don't accept it.

They do not accept the tragic fate destined for Aihara Enju, nor do they acknowledge the inevitable demise of Senju Natsuyo, nor do they admit that there is no place left for "us" in this world.

Since we're homeless, let's build one ourselves.

My weapon is not a sword or a spear, but a bond.

The body's ability to awaken is strange—I can sense pain, share wounds, and ultimately weave our lives together in a web.

It all started with taking in the first fellow abandoned person, and with marking out the first inch of "our territory" in the ruins.

We steal supplies, exchange intelligence, walk the edge of the black market, and squeeze a glimmer of light from the cracks of despair.

We are a group of unwanted children trying to build a brick of our own in the apocalyptic torrent.

Rentaro Satomi wants to save everyone in front of him.

And I want to build an unbreakable wall for all the souls who have nowhere to go.

This is the worst of times, where the line between steel and flesh has become blurred.

This is also the best of times, because those who own nothing will eventually crown themselves.

一觉醒来，我成了东京废墟中流浪的白发红瞳“怪物”——一个被世界唾弃的“诅咒之子”。
但我知道，这副躯壳里藏着一个不属于这里的灵魂，和一份知晓未来悲剧的冰冷记忆。

这里不是游戏。
这里是《漆黑的子弹》，一个孩子被用作兵器、希望被按克贩卖的绝望世界。
原肠动物的嘶吼在墙外回荡，人类的恶意在墙内滋长。而像我一样的女孩，在夹缝中腐烂。

但我不接受。
不接受蓝原延珠注定沉重的命运，不认可千寿夏世必然消逝的结局，更不承认这世界没有留给“我们”的角落。
既然无家可归，那就亲手建造一个。

我的武器不是刀枪，而是纽带。
这具身体苏醒的能力很奇怪——我能感知痛苦，分担伤痕，最终将彼此的生命连结成网。
从收留第一个同样被遗弃的同伴开始，从在废墟中划定第一寸“我们的地盘”开始。
我们盗窃物资，交换情报，在黑市边缘行走，从绝望的夹缝中榨取微光。
我们是一群不被期待的孩子，试图在末日洪流中，垒起一块属于自身的砖石。

里见莲太郎想拯救眼前的每一个人。
而我想为所有无处可归的灵魂，筑起永不陷落的城墙。

这是最坏的时代，钢铁与血肉模糊了界限。
这也是最好的时代，因为一无所有者，终将为自己加冕。
