Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
151. Red Season/Preliminary
An evening when the heavenly, glowing God of the Day dyed his body red and red.
The sky, the clouds, the people, the buildings. The visible world, all of it enveloped by a dark scarlet.
The two of us sat on the walls and watched the streets like that. The evening streets are stained with colors that can be considered symbols of our own attributes.
"It's going to be sunny tomorrow. Even so, it's a pretty red today... like our flames. Hey."
I answer to the girl who lets me shake the flame with her fingertips with a careless reply that she does.
"Hey, Dino."
If you are called by name, and you turn your gaze without any concern,
"Even if we're reborn, we'll always be together."
What a sudden. Kimochi Wawa.
"... Nah, the line was on Yesterday's" and Go, "and I thought it was beautiful. Oh, I'm your sister next. You're my brother. Then I won't let you have an elastic face. If I tell you it's disgusting, I'll blow you away."
I don't want to talk about rebirth now, you idiot.
I still remember clearly that I gave it back.
There's such nonsense.
Without knowing why I exist, what will be all of it.
"Huh. I think I'm starting to get a little upset."
Rocking three sarcastic redhead braids, Alicia fell into bed with a butterfly. While depressed, he makes a sloppy voice, "Uh..." Red eyes, often fishy and always winning, were closed as if they had lost their hegemony.
"You play too much for Omei... I can grab you."
Dino is as stupid as he is tired. No, the fact is, I was tired.
We both ran around and played like idiots today. It was a family that used to live in Dealey, but recently moved to the Wang Capital. Everything was fresh, and for the time being, I didn't seem to get bored.
And so much for a healthy dino to exhaust, it can't be that Alicia is not tired of being freaked out by the disease.
…………
Thin arms like delicate statues of the Virgin. White legs peeking from a red piece.
But it is true that Alicia's body, which was originally thin, also seemed to be getting thinner these days.
"... where are you looking? Eh."
Alicia turns to the other side while fixing the hem of the piece.
"Who sees Omei, idiot? Brothers and sisters, I suppose."
"Ugh. Kyodai is a man and a woman, right?
"What are you talking about being influenced? Did you even read a weird book? Don't start with Kimochi Watari."
That routine was supposed to go on forever.
"Meegelint muscle attenuation".
Far west, the first congenital disease said to have been confirmed in the Duchy of Meegelint, just beyond the sea, with an incidence rate of one in tens of thousands. It would be to the extent of being alone or not in a big city.
Although there is not so much in the way of life during his childhood, his muscles begin to weaken slightly from the time he is over ten years old, and gradually he is unable to move his body. Before he reaches the age of twenty, he is said to surely lead to death.
Surgery will almost certainly help by around the age of ten, when symptoms begin to appear, but from around the age of eleven, the chances of success of the surgery will decrease as if rolling down the ramp.
The chances of successful surgery at the age of eleven are just over 90%. This is almost certainly considered the last line of help, falling to 70% at the age of thirteen. Forty percent at fifteen. It also becomes difficult to get up on your own from around here, 10% at seventeen. By this time, I won't even be able to move my hands and feet.
And there is no such thing as a single case of celebrating my twentieth birthday.
If you suffer from the disease, it will be discovered shortly after birth. Basically, if you perform surgery and pack your artificial muscles by the time you are about ten years old, it will almost certainly help. Usually, the procedure is completed between the ages of 7, 8 and 10, when the patient has the strength to withstand surgery.
However, the costs necessary for the surgery were enormous, and whatever the wealthy aristocratic people, they were not of such an amount that they could be easily constructed by the average civilian population.
Dino's house was no exception, and her parents, who found out about the illness shortly after Alicia was born, worked crazily on death for about a decade afterwards - but had not saved half of the costs of surgery.
For the rich, a disease also known as a slightly costly cold to treat.
For the common man, a terrible disease in which Reapers loosen up after a decade of respite.
That was the disease called 'Meegelint muscle attenuation'.
In preparation for the disease, Gayleroen's family moved to Wang Capital, where there is a large hospital.
And Alicia was no exception, as if it had been ordained - the day after the two twins had reached the age of ten, they were to fall.
"Huh. I knew it. You could be ten years old and go to bed, Dino-kun. What, my life?"
While lying in bed, winning Alicia shows no weakness.
I just fell on a mundane clap. I can still move without problems on my own, but there is also the theory that if I move in vain, I will speed up the progression of the disease, and I will take care of it and give it a rest.
"Haha. Am I" Penta "and Omei is" Meeji Lintonantka "? Aniki's dead too."
Dino and his boys had a seven-year-old brother named Valais, but he died eight years ago.
Valais accompanied her when her father decided to go to the village in the Rhinecadal Mountains for work. So he was attacked by a grudge demon, and his brother became one who would not return.
His father seemed badly hit at the time, but still worked desperately without a break to earn Alicia's surgical expenses.
Dino and the others were two years old at the time, so I'm not sure about the honest story, my brother. That had become commonplace because I didn't already have a brother when I got my mind on it. There was no such emotion as loneliness or sadness.
"It's a little fuzzy living, isn't it?"
"What are you wearing?... Nevertheless, 'Meegelint muscle attenuation'. We don't have any money, and I don't know if this is a good idea..."
"Well, don't worry. I have an idea."
"... hmm. Oh, no. Don't expect me to wait. You didn't help me."
"Uh-oh."
Dino was also aware that his father, who would return late at night, was exhausted, but I still thought we had to talk about it.
In the dim living room, fatigue was common, and my father was just throwing himself on the couch.
The glass on the table is empty.
"Oh, Dino... what's up?
"Dad. The cost of Alicia's surgery, what's it like?
"... it's not something you worry about. Don't worry, the fathers will take care of it."
If you ask about the cost of surgery, it is always this answer that returns with a weak grin.
"Hey. I... will be the 'penta' of the country. That way, you're gonna get a pile of money."
"No."
The father answers instantly. This is not the first time. Many times before, there have been exchanges like this.
Dino is a 'penta'. If you serve your country, it's also possible to get huge amounts of money. Even so, the father always returns a denial against this proposal.
Until now, I had followed what my father had said. I thought maybe there was some kind of hand, and I was asking a lot.
But things aren't the same anymore. Finally, the reaper lurking inside Alicia began to move. From now on, the chances of success of the surgery are decreasing with each passing time. I think you should have had surgery right now.
"... why not. I know, money, not enough at all...? I'm just talking about what to do. [M] Why not?"
"You can't have anything that doesn't work!
It must be because of the liquor in it. Always a warm father's drink.
But Dino can't pull either.
"Why can't I!
For the first time, I defied my father.
There's a flame of anger, usually perfectly controllable - the powder of fire, dancing slightly into the universe. Like powdered snow.
"Don't fuzz me, I'm the only way. What does it matter what happens to Alicia!?
"I don't..."
The father shakes his head like he's tired. The way it looked was so weak that Dino was cut off momentum.
"Then why..."
"Dino... about your brother, remember? Remember... you don't."
"Ah, oh. I don't know what's left of the painting..."
As I remember during the day, we only know the fact that 'we had a brother'. I don't even know what kind of person he was.
"Eight years ago... your brother... the incident in which Valais died is called 'The Tragedy of Rhinecadal'. Let's be careful not to have another incident like this happen again, let's be careful next time, let's teach a lesson... what are they saying? That's right. But... there's no 'next' for the kids who died in that case. To Valais... there's nothing next."
A father who looks up to the ceiling and whines like he's relieved.
"... I know. King Ardia, who responded, said there was no downfall. If I hadn't, a whole strip of villages could have been wiped out. If we hadn't sacrificed the children, we could all have been wiped out. I would not have left myself. Still, still, I... as one father...! I can't forgive King Aldia...! I'm on my own...... but I don't lie about my emotions......!
For the dinos, I don't remember...... even my brother who can feel like someone else.
To my father, he's my own son.
So I won't admit that Dino will be the 'penta' of the country. Another son will serve King Ardia, who has' killed 'his own son - unacceptable to be part of the country, etc.
"But..."
But Dino can't pull back either.
I know what my father is trying to say. But if you stick to it, now you're gonna lose Alicia too.
"It's okay. Absolutely, because it's okay. God is watching over me."
The father puts his hands on both shoulders of Dino and strongly affirms.
Dino nodded weakly.
His father was an honest and serious man. There is also human virtue.
He managed to raise funds for surgery in the form of huge debts from people.
It was for this reason. My father kept working seriously for years. From the outset, the aim is not to construct the full cost on your own. To work honestly and win the credit you deserve to sign up for debt.
Dino decides on his heart.
I'll give this money back. It won't be exclusive to the country, so "Penta" can give it back slowly but surely.
That's how the surgery Alicia welcomed at eleven.
Chance of success if you are eleven, just over 90%.
The surgery failed.
The father and mother were just relieved.
Naturally. Hey, God. What is God doing? I thought you were watching over me. Aren't you an idiot?
And nightmares chain.
Some robber broke into the house when he heard rumors about where he sniffed from, Gail Lauen's house storing money, etc.
Naturally, I spent all my money on surgery, so there's nothing left. But thieves don't even know that.
"...,... ah?
What Dino saw one day when he returned from Alicia's hospitalized hospital was a tragic sight.
A room full of blood. Things that were carved and chopped up parents. A space where everything was taken away, from the golden-eyed to the not.
The killer was caught immediately. He was a strong killer who worked extensively within Raindeer, a man whose hobby was to steal golden-eyed things and kill people miserably.
The scale of the damage was enormous and the man was to be sentenced to a sentence known as' Radim 'by the execution of King Aldia.
"Radim" is the execution of those who have made it "First-hand", with the crowd releasing the Divine Chant "Oracle" in turn. Few areas still go today because they are terribly atrocious, but King Aldia used this sentence as one of his shows.
It resembles a stoning sentence that was carried out far back in antiquity, but this' radim 'has its own unique characteristics.
in that it is not 'simultaneous' but 'sequentially'. in that you may use any divine chant, Oracle. However, in that it is forbidden to chant awaiting the order. There are up to thirty people waiting in order, and the technique is done once per person. Time is thirty seconds per person. Within this time, chanting is also allowed. The sinner is released if he can stand it. In Raindeer, in the past, there is only one person who has been unbearable.
Thirty people lined up exercise their magic only once against the sinner, one in turn. Any technique is fine. There's no problem with the recovery technique. In fact, some people treat their recovery when it's their turn to prolong the pain.
But whosoever shall be sentenced to this punishment shall be guilty. There are no sympathetic people.
The majority of participants are also lower level workers who accumulate daily depression. Few young people participate for reasons such as maintaining a mindset that kills people.
And those who gather are basically the people. Few, if any, can handle powerful and incomparable techniques. In time chanting awaiting the order is forbidden. I mean, basically, there's nothing like a sinner dying instantly. He will continue to be twitched and shot and killed. If you look at it as such, it may not be any different from a stone's throw.
Dino joined the man's 'Radim'. A boy only eleven years old. The soldier advised him to stop, but he did not listen hard. The daytime god Inverenus also lined up early in the morning, not yet visible, and gained the most rights.
Cruel punishment means that the place is also a dedicated square set on the corner of the city, beside the graveyard. A murderous, landscaped space with just a lot of empty space surrounded by walls. A place where you can judge sinners and just throw them away straight into the graveyard next door.
A large crowd packed to see 'Radim' for the first time in fifteen years. Thirty folks waiting in order to execute their sentences. Red boy at the head of it.
The man who had been humiliated was showing hella and leeway.
There is also a reason why men operate extensively and have never been caught before. It was simply Maggie, an armed chanter.
"Oh-ooh, you talented scumbags. Hehe, I'm going to cut your balls off and let you go. Okay? Remember that, huh? The guy who shot me, as one, don't forget!? Hihahaha!"
To the power of the man, those who were lined up in a light-hearted manner snorted only slightly.
So the most handy dino moves forward with no intention at all.
That signaled, the decree of a sharp soldier sounded.
"First person, thirty seconds. Begin!"
When I saw Dino walking in front of me, the man narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, hey, Bok, I can't believe I joined such a bad hobby mon that year. Oh, I shouldn't. What kind of education do parents have?
"Parents? Dead."
"Dead? I'm sorry to hear that. Matomo education."
"Omei killed him. A week ago."
The man's words stop.
"Ohh...? Oh, a week ago?... Huh, that poor smelly fucking house! Damn, I heard you're saving up a lot of money, so you should come in, it's nothing! I got a leg on that yama, it's scattered! Hey, you're the kid from that house! What's wrong with the money, you piece of shit!
The man spits a pep at Dino.
The spit made a noise and vanished. Without touching Dino.
…… ... Better than that, why don't you hurry up? You joined us because you wanted to get your parents' clams, didn't you? We don't have much time, do we? Whatever you want, just hit it. Take it easy on me. Ha ha!
"Ten seconds left!
Confusion and cursing had also begun to rise from the folks and audiences lining up against the immobile Dino.
Still the transcendent of young flames carve a grin. A laugh that I don't think is a boy who's just past ten.
- Originally, the tyranny the boy had hidden inside. A tremendous force that I was almost unconsciously suppressing makes me peek into my face.
This is the second time I've harmed others.
When I was six, the carriage I was riding was attacked by a Rank B grudge demon. I don't know why, I burned my enemies with a flame that just drowned and understood.
He said he was strong.
"- The bug. That's enough for a second."
A blue muscle runs on the temples of a man.
"... ah? Oh, my God, you kid."
"Five, four, three, two,"
Soldier's second reading is imminent.
Dino created a fire so small - as small as a grain of sand - that it could not even be called a flame, and played it lightly with his fingers.
Although it is a slightly missing expression. It's like playing round nose shit. I don't care.
"One!"
Light fireballs with cotton wool touch the man flutter.
Moments later, flame columns appeared and exploded, reaching also five miles high. (10) Based on the man who was made into "First-hand".
It was as if God's judgment had been delivered.
Screams rising from the gathered folk. All of a sudden, surprised, he appears even to those who flee.
(12) The man, who had become "Fixed" and was fixed, blew up and rolled like a shell. The restraint unwraps and crawls out with his whole body in flames.
"Gu, ahhhh! Shit, ha, ha!?
Before the man rolling around in flames, Dino walks over with his mouth ripped into the shape of a laugh.
"Ear, I flew. I flew. People are such flying monsters. Aoi. Whoa... I left the temperature, the itch van, low. Twenty-nine more shots. Good luck with that."
Yes. The man is not dead. Dino didn't dare kill him.
Soldiers rushed over to the crawling man and the fire was extinguished by the technique of the water that had been bathed.
The man was burned all over his body and his skin was sloppy, but he was still alive. I mean, the sentence is on the way. And the man shall be reprimanded again, and he shall have twenty-nine spells left.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Dino starts walking away from the spot with a scream of agony on his back.
Because they showed their overwhelming power, or because of the thin grin that floated in their mouths. Everyone turns their way in fear.
... that, except for one soldier.
"Kid, are you ready?"
He was a disappointed middle-aged man. Reddish bossy hair with a sloppy stretched jawbeard. He has a tough face, characterised by a large eagle nose. If it weren't for the formal uniform, it would only look like a loose end.
"... what the hell. I'm not going to violate it. Are you even preaching?
If you throw a giddy gaze at the man blocking the road,
"No. You, what was' Penta '? Hmm... it's a big deal. I didn't intend to keep him alive, but this time I also prepared a" planting "..."
The bearded soldier laughed, showing his niggling and inconsistent teeth.
"That son of a bitch, he feels good. It's desperate. You will soon meet Pluto the Pluto. So, okay? Go on, don't look."
"... I'm not interested"
It's funny Osama, Dino said barely next to it.
"O, Lord Odillon…, it is dangerous to approach"
"Hang on, what's at stake? Such a child... my parents, they killed me in that way. Looks like a lonely back."
The pain of the surgery suffered by a man who was then burned for the majority of his skin would not have been in line. Too miserably, I hear the majority of those who were in it have declined. In the end, the sentence was continued by those who remained, and he said the man was out of breath at about the fifth.
Without trying, this event will make the name of Dino Gailroen known.
Burn people relentlessly at just eleven, as a violent 'penta'.
Not many people know the circumstances of their families. But still, none of them sought refuge in 'Penta'. All I had to do was spread rumors wrapped around various tails.
