Do you know the sword that eats God?

It is a two-handed sword that the hero Flam Apricot was a regular user of.

Since replicas are always sold to souvenir shops in King's Landing, there may be a few who decorate their homes.

But this sword was not named after God from the beginning.

This is also a famous story, but it was originally named "Soul Eater” when the hero Fram was acquired.

Although it is often said that the beginning of Fram Apricot's heroic encounter was with his partner Milkit Apricot, the author believes that the coincidence with soul eating is the real beginning.

When you think about it, one question arises.

Where does soul eating come from?

Who created it and why did it lead to a curse?

In this article, I think we will approach the mystery.

◇ ◇ ◇

--On that day, Fram had been with the mill kit since the morning.

I didn't have any particular job, so I lay down in bed with Mill Kit and the two of them, touching each other's cheeks.

I kissed her a few times, and now I touched her earlobes and fuzzed her.

Then the mill kit will retaliate as it tickles, so it will entangle my legs even more.

While I was touching you like that, I noticed and hugged you.

The mill kit frowned on the chest of the flam, and the flam hugged the bride.

"Mill Kit"

Master

I'll just call my name.

I called about ten times in an hour.

It doesn't make sense.

But I was happy.

There were loved ones nearby who could touch each other - just enough to make their heads stupid.

That's when the house chime rang.

I hear footsteps from the ground floor.

Perhaps the ink is responding.

The sound of the door opening.

The voice she speaks with a woman.

After the two, the ink climbed the stairs away from the front door and stopped at the dance floor to raise his voice.

"Flamoo, it's a customer!"

Listening to that, Milkit's eyebrows drip uncomfortably.

You've been called.

"They called me...."

I didn't want to leave the flam, but I couldn't help it.

The last time she kissed deeply, she left the bed and went to the front door.

What stood was a woman in glasses who looked serious in a suit.

"Fram, please forgive my sudden visit."

Lower your head deeply at the beginning.

When this happens, the flam also has to bow its head and say, "Ha, ha."

"Today, I'd like to talk to you about Fram's sword."

"Did God eat you?"

"No, before that, I'm eating my soul."

"I think we can only talk about what's already out there."

Frame has been interviewed several times, so it seems like she can't talk anymore.

It is unusual for journalists to focus on weapons, but they have already told the story.

But the woman shook her head "No."

"I don't want to ask Mr Fram.I want to tell you what kind of sword soul eating is.I've been looking into it, and it turns out that Fram doesn't even know about the past. "

"Really... um, you..."

"I'm late. My name is Sakria, and I'm a reporter with the Mancathy newspaper."

Sacrifice that and take out your business card.

Fluffy remembered when he first met Welsie, and he was a little hung up.

"Okay, please come up.I'm interested. "

"Thank you."

Sakria lowered her head and was guided to her room.

Etana sat in her chair and hung her feet there for a while, but when the flam came in, she got up and left.

"I don't want to hold back because I'm taking a place."

"I don't think Etana cares."

If Etana were really free, she'd be reading a book.

The fact that she didn't do anything - just like Frame and Milkit did in the room, she probably had ink.

The mill kit was already preparing tea in the kitchen when Fram and Sakria sat in the chair.

"So, what does the soul eating past mean?"

"Mr Fram, you know..."

"Just what the slavers had.I don't know where it came from. "

"I was wondering if I could help.By the way, did Fram know that there have been multiple religions other than Originism in this country in the past? "

"After the Man-Man War, Originism strengthened its power, so you secretly believed in it."

And Originism was teaming up with Deaza to crush some of those villages.

The survivors are Maria and Sarah.

The phantom of God, the “Kamyaguisama” that Fram once fought, is one of them.

"That's right... but the village ruled by the nobleman who was the owner of the soul eater was a little different.They believed in a secret god before Originism flourished. "

That's how Sakria began to tell the story of what happened in the village.

◇ ◇ ◇

The name of the village is Kiroti.

It is a village with a population of about 200 people that once existed in the Kingdom.

Peaceful countryside with few monsters nearby and rivers nearby.

Let's say it's a relatively privileged land.

These villages were determined to believe in the rich gods, and the gods of their hands were enshrined in Kiloti without exception.

But it's just the front face.

The villagers truly believed in what they should have called evil gods.

Once upon a time, Kiroti was a very poor village with thin soil and no decent crops.

But once upon a time, the village became a battlefield.

Hundreds of soldiers lost their lives here, and the bodies rotted there without being disposed of.

Eventually the blood and the corpse returned to the earth, and the earth of Kirothy sucked them, and grew fat.

Yes, the crops grew to look different.

However, since then, there have been many inexplicable accidents and epidemics in the village.

Villagers who thought it was the work of evil spirits soaked in the earth begged the missionaries of the flow to teach.

He gave the villagers a solution.

"I sacrifice myself every year.If I cut off their necks and shed blood before my eyes, I will relieve their emptiness, and if I bring them back to the soil, I will heal their loneliness. "

The villagers did not doubt each other.

That's all they were hunted down.

It is said that the first sacrifice was chosen by a draw.

Humans chosen for sacrifice are bound to death tables, and they are suddenly decapitated with wide-bladed swords.

And the body that stopped moving was tilled until several villagers could not retain the prototype.

I don't know, nothing bad happened in the village like a lie, and peace came back.

From a modern human point of view, the missionary's words are speculative, and it is a coincidence that the village was saved.

But for the villagers of the time, it was nothing but a miracle of God.

The custom of sacrifice lasted for centuries.

Over time, a "god” is born in the village, the "commandments” increase, and the mere mischief takes shape and is sublimated to religion.

Eventually, the ritual of sacrifice became noble, and only the chosen people participated.

It was the duty of the nobles to rule over the land to wave the sword that cut off their necks.

The blade of the great sword, which had been killing sacrifices for centuries, was stained black with blood.

◇ ◇ ◇

"That's how soul eating accumulated a curse."

Fram said so and drank the mill kit's roasted tea.

Soon the mill kit was sitting next to her, and the two of them were holding hands under the table.

Meanwhile, Sacrifice narrowed her eyes and continued talking with a blurry look.

After all, I heard Fram's voice, but it was clear that he was talking with something else in mind.

"... no, not yet. This is just what Kiroti said."

"So, what happened after that?"

"Yes... I'll continue."

Sakria lightly moisturizes her throat and resumes her story.

◇ ◇ ◇

A man was born in the house of nobility, which accommodates Kiroti, as the next lord.

His name is Alfred.

Having a hobby about how brutally he killed wildlife from childhood, he naturally showed a strong interest in sacrifice rituals.

And when Alfred's father died and he succeeded the lord, he was finally able to attend the ceremony of remembrance.

According to the participants at the time, Alfred was clearly excited and enjoying the ritual.

His desire then escalated, arguing that 'the frequency of rituals should be half-yearly'.

Villagers voiced dissatisfaction with the privatization, but could not defy the lord, forcibly narrowing the interval in the middle.

But people's desires can't stop with it.

If it is filled, it is desirable to swell indefinitely.

From one year to six months, then six months to three months - we will increase the number of people killed.

It was no longer a ritual, but a murder show for Alfred.

Kiroti is not such a big village.

Everyone knows that if you kill that many people, they will decline.

There was a man with a strong sense of justice who thought so and sued him directly.

The next morning, I came home with only my neck.

A relatively wealthy villager who could not be seen asked an outlaw adventurer to kill him.

The next morning, the body of the adventurer was scattered in front of the house.

When this happened, no one could disobey.

The bad news about Alfred was that he preferred to kill weak women and children.

So all the men worked in the field on the front, and the women and children stopped going out as much as possible.

Some of them hid the birth of a child.

Men worked desperately because it was easy for them to be targeted without working.

But Alfred chose to sacrifice a man who worked very well because he didn't see any women or children targeted.

The reason was obvious.

This ridiculous fear politics lasted for years - it happened one day when the villagers were exhausted.

In the middle of the night, there was a scream in the village.

I thought something happened and went out, and in front of me stood a bloody Alfred with a sword.

Yes, he was finally unable to endure his desires and began to slaughter.

I don't care about the village anymore.

I want to kill them all.

To make that dream come true.

Nevertheless, Kiroti is a village with a population of 200.

A lord who is not even an adventurer can't kill them all.

But he did.

Before that, I even tried to kill the adventurer I was chased by.

I don't know whether you were strong or possessed by the devil.

But he killed the villagers who ran away one after the other in a distant movement.

Kiroti inhabitants killed for no reason, for no purpose, for no reason.

On a tragic night, the curse born there exceeded the accumulation of hundreds of years of sacrifice.

◇ ◇ ◇

Sakria's story stops.

As the mill kit stuck to his arm, the flam swallowed raw saliva and opened his mouth.

"That night... you gave birth to a soul eater?"

"That's how I stare.I'm sure you've accumulated curses before. "

I thought it was an obvious weapon held by a merchant who wasn't such a jerk - that's all.

But here, one question arises.

Soul eating is a typical weapon of the country's hero, Flam.

There should have been as many people who wanted to look into the past.

But why did she get to the truth?

"Do you doubt my story?"

"Hee...? Oh, no, that's not true.I'm surprised, how did you find out? "

"Source secrecy is a journalist's rule, so I can't tell you that."

"So, why did you tell me before you wrote the article?"

For some reason, Sakria laughed "fu" to mock herself, and said a little lonely.

"I thought it was polite.It's a bad reporter's policy.I'm satisfied that I was actually able to surprise Mr Fram. "

It is a likely reason.

Well, if everything is a lie, it's just a deception.

"It can be inconvenient to take too much time, so I think it's time for you to have some time."

"Thank you for that interesting story."

"No, thank you for listening.Ah - yes, one last favor. "

What is it?

"Just a little, so could you show me what God has eaten?"

Fram was a little worried.

With her now, it's easy to contain the leaking curse.

But I just heard what you said earlier, and I was wondering if I could show it to you easily.

Nevertheless, I wanted to pay for the interesting story, so it was cheap as a consideration.

Fram took the distance from Milkit and Sakria and pulled the god out of the subspace.

There is a red curse on the surface of the black blade.

"Oh, this is..."

Sacrifice that enchants a generous expression.

When she exhaled, she smiled as if she were watching and remembering the cold.

(... I wonder what that look is.Are you attracted to god eating... no, to the curse?)

I had a bad feeling about it, and Fram put his sword in.

Sakria looked disappointed for a moment, but immediately smiled.

Is that good?

"Yes, I'm happy. I'll never forget today again."

What impressed Sacrifice so much?

What was your intention and came to talk to me?

She left without Fram understanding.
