I can hear the sound from a distance. It's not the funny tone I heard earlier, it's the more frightening sound.

- The burning smell of things. People's screams.The sound of the swords and the rage.

"Ahhhhh... why...?" Why, why are you doing this...? "

It feels like you can be held by a hot candy that falls on your cheeks and someone who walks up to you. Open your eyes thinly.

There was that masked shrine maiden.A shrine maiden who holds me in her arms and raises her mourning.

It was burning. There are houses in the settlement.

Villagers who fell all over and didn't move.The samurai. The women.The children I saw at the shrine. Guys, guys.

The villagers were still fighting.The enemies are - they are determined. It must be the hostile forces we were talking about.She said there was a base in the south.

It's an infiltrated enemy force.It's not massive, but it looks like there's quite a few of them.

But it's not just swords and arrows that are killing the people in the village.

Poison... I can tell by the way the poison was used.Those who suffer. Those who have already broken up.Was it mixed with drinking water like a well, or was it liquor or a dish?

It may have used some kind of magic to detect the large number of people who have been damaged.

And the answer was in the voices of those who fought.

"Why...! Why! I never noticed so much poison...!"

"Kuku. You're doing well, aren't you?The spell poison activated in response to the raid...!I drank it floating at the festival, and I drank a little bit of wine and craftsmanship. "

"I'm on the outskirts...!"

Curse poison. It must be different from the slow-acting poison.It was the same as the poison, and it seemed like it needed to be actually drunk as a trigger.

If I wanted to categorize it, it was like a magic spell or a magic spell.For the first time, activate the procedure to exert its potency as a poison.Since there is no malfunction on the spot, many people will be harmed.

"Shrine maiden! Still breathable people to the company!"The castle is already set on fire... hurry! "

"Yes, yes...! Yes!"

The shrine maiden wiped tears from her voice and stood up while supporting my body.The men with the weapons ran there.

Izumi!

It was the son of the ruler.I tried to call the shrine maiden's name and join them, but I rushed over.

"... eh?"

Something was growing from around my chest.A silver glow that receives the reflection of a flame.The tip of the sword was popping out.

The ruler's son collapsed in front of the shrine maiden.Blood splashes dancing in the air late stained the shrine maiden's cheeks.I got stabbed in the back.

"... eh?"

Shrine Maiden - Izumi was indifferent.He looks at the man in front of him like he sees something unbelievable.The face of a man who looks down on it is cold everywhere.Should I say that after all?He was the man I saw on the precincts with the son of a ruler.

I'm sorry.

The man said, shaking off the blood on the sword.

"Oh, my God!"Are you out of your mind, Shun Swoosh! "

"No, I'm sane."

"Do you have room for others...?"

"Grrrr!"

Shun Sui laughs thinly as she looks at the samurai who is being sworded by the adversary and brought into the shape of an imminent conflict.

Still, Izumi looked at Shunsui as if she could not understand.Shun Sui's tongue flashed unpleasantly at the sight of this.

What are you doing?

When Izumi asked, Shun Sui shrugged her shoulders.

"You know how long ago... my grandfather and father were defeated in the battle for succession to the main house?"That was one step ahead of the house commotion.Since then, I've grown up on the sidelines, neglected.That's why... I've been thinking.What's the difference between me and this guy?Why does this guy have everything and I don't have anything? "

Even though she is better at martial arts and military arts, Shun Sui throws up in hatred as she looks at the son of the captain who can't move anymore.

"But most of all, if you can't sit on your stomach, it's because he wants to get along with me."Every time I was laughing with you, my intestines were boiling. "

"That's right....."

Izumi was stunned by the man's words.

"Grrrr!"

The man who was suppressing the enemy's assault was pierced through his belly and collapsed.

"Shrine maiden, my lord...! If you are dumb... please... escape..."

The man who reached for Izumi stopped moving.

"What's the matter, Sir Shun Sui?"If you can't stand putting your hand on that woman, I'll do it for you. "

"No need, I've done it so far."If you're not sure, then you're ready to go. "

When Shun Sui replied, she continued to speak with the tip of the sword pointed at the Izumi, who remained hanging without strength.

"But, Izumi, I don't hate you."If you forget where you stand and come with me, you can save your life.I haven't activated your spell poison yet to give you a choice like this. "

Shun Sui said that the spell poison was also planted in Izumi.Although Shun Sui's hatred was directed at the son of the leader and the temple itself, there was still something Izumi thought about.Or... maybe it was because the leader's son and Izumi were so close that Shun Sui also hated him.

Either way, if I had to use a spell poison, I wouldn't be able to escape from Izumi.Even if I escaped, I could not fulfill my duties as a shrine maiden by using the spell poison.

Yeah, but...

Shun Sui mistook it for a choice like this because she was cornered.

The shrine maiden is a priest who can bring down herself in tune with the gods, and she serves as a bridge connecting them.

That's why I didn't really have the time to do this.

It's the one who's cornered. It is not up to Shun Sui and the others.

If it wasn't the traitors who did the damage to the town.Unless it is a close one of Izumi.We have to run into this murder in front of us.

If so, the end may have been different.

However, because I was supposed to protect my family, because I grew up with them from an early age, and because I believed in them... there are things that are unforgivable and unacceptable.

"...... I don't think so."

What?

The murmur was small. Shun Sui's ears could not be heard in the iron fire, where the sword's screams, fury, and screams resounded.

The child in my arms... from my point of view, I could also see the look on Izumi's face at that time.The empty black eyes that were open... they weren't showing anything anymore.

Unforgivable. Unforgivable. Unforgivable.No forgiveness, no forgiveness, no forgiveness.

The voice of anger and despair leaked from Izumi's mouth.How far was Izumi's word, and where did it come from?

There is no point in making a distinction.Izumi and Kagiri. Their thoughts were in tune.

The strength of that hand holding my body increases slightly.Yet the arms that bear the children of the family are as kind as ever.

A vast amount of magic power that swells up. The fog began to build up as I watched it cover my surroundings.

"This is--"

“What are you doing! Let's get rid of that woman!"

The words did not last until the end.It was because a long, white hand jumped up toward the sky, as it blew up from the shrine maiden's back.

The men were dazed for a moment.Shun Sui seals the mark and activates the spell poison she had planted on the shrine maiden.

Izumi's body shakes gently.Wobbly. It was just that.

No. It would have been better if we hadn't dealt with it halfway.

The magic power swelled with anger and despair.Negative thoughts and spell poison create a ruinous synergy.The magic power that erupted was mixed with red and black magic power.

I won't forgive you.

Cold, woman's voice. It wasn't Izumi's voice.

I don't know what it looks like, wrapped in red and black fog.I could see the gleaming eyes behind it.

”Ka, Giri......”

Shun Sui muttered.

An elongated arm that stretches through a swirling fog. It's not a pair.The big picture is not clear, but it is certain that you have more than four arms.The fog gathered in its palms, each holding a different weapon.

Swords. Spears. Bows and arrows. The key is one of them.Slowly swing a huge sword.Shun Sui and the other man... couldn't move in front of the swirl of overwhelming power, frozen.

There was no mercy or reproach. The next moment, a flash of horizontal beams was unleashed.

An instant slash that didn't allow a single blink.The enormous amount of curses and magic shock waves turned into blades, and both Shun Sui and the Marauder caught up with each other.

The Kigiri unleashes anger at the traitors and adversaries and despair at himself.Shun Sui was still under the spell of resentment and curse.

With that blow, it was all over.

It depends on how it is made and how it is done... but it is not just that the influence of a superior being with divine qualities rarely wields direct power.Because it is a darkless life-threatening thing that prevents you from accumulating work and trouble in your body.

Or... if Izumi was sane, I might have been able to stop her as a shrine maiden.

But it's all a thing of the past, and there's no point in talking about assumptions here.

The blow of guilty plea was unleashed with the edge of the curse, and it became one thing, and it became firmly united.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Wailing or roaring. The trembling sound of the atmosphere resounded, and it slowly moved away from Izumi's body.

Izumi collapses. For a short while, Kagiri was checking the situation and was stranded in the air - and suddenly flew with tremendous momentum.

With the red and black vortex around.The rough spirit was moving to eliminate the foreign objects that had entered the turf.
