Hitsugi no Maou

To Coffin, perhaps for the first time in hundreds or thousands of years, the blue sky returned.

All the dark clouds vanished with the death of Sky Dragon Morg, and the light of Mr. and Yang fell on the lean and thin earth.

Without Snobber's invasion, a perversion of the worldview would not have been possible.

Snoba settlers reaffirmed the correctness of their actions and began to sow imported crops from Snoba in the land of Coffin within that day.

People who usually only possess weapons also dig back the soil with farm tools all the day, burying wheat, potatoes and beans and grape seeds around the ground.

The poor earth will probably let most of the seeds rot without growing them. But the sunlight falling from heaven will sooner or later create an environment for the soil to fatten, and will surely produce some of the stranded seeds.

The people of Snoba believed so and were intoxicated by the fullness of messing with the soil of the country they had saved.

The settlers were satisfied with the justice they had done, and General Yuk was laughing damned at the fact that Coffin had approached a more valuable colony on such a pre-construction basis.

But such a muscle (...) is for the invaders, who only know the worldview of a country called Kofin as a foreigner.

The cry (how dare you), the despair of the Coffins who lost their patron saint... it covered the whole country and broke the hearts of the people.

The falling sun, bright blue, empty sky. It was struck down with the relics of the heroes... amputated, Morg's neck.

The glorious world was the landscape of hell itself for the Coffins.

And moreover, the Morgue Dead World was creating a more direct, existential crisis for the Coffins.

"- It's hot...!

Lucina, who took off her armor, looks up over her head in the middle of a hall with a fountain that brought in Sante the other day.

Beyond the skylight is a blue sky that pushes through, and as always, one cloud is not floating.

The snobbers seem to see this weather as refreshing, but for the Coffins, who have lived under the gray sky long after birth, the blue skies that let the sun shine through were causing life-threatening changes in the environment.

Strong sunshine burns intolerable Coffin skin, heats the ground and raises the temperature.

From the days when I needed a fire to warm up, it turned out so cheerful that I was wearing a jacket instead of armor.

An eel in a grass knitted hat rushes to Lucina, who happens to escape into the shade.

"Dear Lucina, the people of the King's capital are falling one after another in this heat. There are those gathered before the castle gate in search of water and shade..."

"Let him in now! Open the basement water barrel! Gallo, is Gallo here?

Gallol runs away from Nagi as he returns and misplaces him. I glanced at him as Lucina soaked up the sweat on his forehead as he was armored to discipline.

"Take that off! You're going down, too!

"I'm fine. Dear Lucina, what can I do for you?"

"The weather has been strange since Morg died. There is no cloud when you look at the sky in any direction. This blue sky...... is it going to last forever?

Gallol answers with a frown root, fluttering Lucina's arms and neck muscles with an anesthetic cloth removed from the gap in his armor.

"I don't know. Morg is a dragon god who grabs the rain of Coffin. Now that it's doomed, no one can guarantee that rain will fall naturally again."

"If this heat lasts forever and it doesn't rain, Coffin dries people and the earth. It's going to be a land of life and death..."

"We are rallying soldiers to collect water. The water in the creek or the moisture in the grass trees is boiled (shaved) and sanitized and stuck in barrels. But that's only a moment, too. What should I do after consuming all my natural remaining moisture…"

"Captain Gallol!

A voice echoes in the hall, and one warrior rushes in. A warrior shakes his head on his knees on the floor to Garroll, who asks, "What's up?"

"The senators in the Senate who were imprisoned on the floor closed the gap between the warriors on the lookout who were exhausted in this heat..."

"You escaped!?

"No, that's... take this"

Give Gallol the cloth cut that the warrior was holding in his hand.

It is a white cloth with burnt ends, painted with slightly black lines, with fragments of the dragon's painting remaining.

Coffin's, the flag. In front of Gallo and Lucina, who face each other, a warrior tells them to throw up.

"The senators climbed to the roof of the floor and said they burned the Coffin flag that was flying in front of the people. 'I'm done with Coffin. Raise the flag of Snoba, and live as a people of Snoba,' he exclaimed, and threw himself without one left."

"Why did they all kill themselves......!?

"When you offer death to wake up a people who have abandoned the Senate. That if we continue to follow the Coffin royal family, all the people will eventually follow the same path as ourselves. He died screaming."

"Damn! Pull my legs everywhere!!

Next to Gallo, who stripped his teeth, Lucina sapped and blued.

Grab the shoulder of a warrior on his knees and ask in a nervous voice.

"Did the senators mean to tell the people to take down the royal family?

"I didn't say that directly, but I screamed for Coffin to drop off and go down to Snoba, so some of you may have seen the rebellion..."

"Come in front of the castle gate, both of you!!

Lucina ran out at the same time as the words.

He runs down the corridor with the two followers who follow him, crying out to accompany the soldiers and knights who were on their way.

When Lucina, who eventually took about ten people, opened the main door and went outside the royal castle, near the castle gate, about twenty people with miscellaneous weapons were attacking the gatekeeper and the nagi.

instantly pulled out a dagger on her hips and threw it at the old man trying to shake down a bar on the bullied nagi. A white blade dancing through the universe pierces the old man's arm and screams.

To the gaze of the people who can be directed at themselves, Lucina says, "Fools!!" and exasperate.

"What are you doing when the Coffins have to unite to face the enemy! Easily lend ears to the words of the Senate that sold the country!!

"Oh, princess......!

"Do you want to take this neck as a souvenir into Snobba's general!? Do you want to sand the rest of the people left in Coffin with their hind legs and leave for another country!? Then you are no longer King Coffin's people! Not the beloved people of my predecessor Lugassa!!

To this word, many of the people grabbed their mouths with a tenacious expression, and some took down their weapons.

But a man with a rusty dagger walks in front of Lucina and says, "Don't make me laugh" at the princess of his country.

"The Coffins will unite against the enemy, eh? What the hell are you saying now that you're being ambushed by snobbers?"

"You."

"No food. Hey, the patron saint is dead, you say the water dries up in this heat. This country is over... even you can't always face the princess!!

I got that neck! Gallol and several knights, warriors, jump out before the man who shouts and wields his dagger like that.

On Lucina's face flew the return blood of a man bored by countless blades.

Guh, and in front of Lucina, who throats, Gallol pulls the dagger out of the neck of a man who's already nearly half-cut, and strikes again.

was skipped, and a folk with a weapon screamed and fled to his neck, which rolled with a gobble.

A shout that strikes out Gallor's soul relentlessly releases to the backs of the people.

"If you want to abandon your pride and dignity, shut up and leave the country! I will kill all those who sell the royal family to the enemy!!

Lucina hand-plugs the blood on her face as she listens to the footsteps of the people who go far away.

Then I glanced at Nagi and the gatekeeper and asked him, "Are you okay?" The gatekeepers bow their heads and the nagi say "yes" small.

"Dear Lucina..."

"What a time."

A crushing Lucina walks up to the neck of the man who got ripped off and picks it up.

Lucina said with a deep breath as she turned her back on the ministers staring at herself.

"But I'm not giving up. Until you die... until the last one dies... give up."

Lucina's teeth made loud noises and shook people's ears.

The sweet smell spread.

A dust returning from the outside steps into the house rocking a basket full of ramlain flowers.

Placing the basket by the stone kiln, he lays his hand on Ash's shoulder, sitting with his knee on the floor.

The iron helmet is thrown unconstitutionally on the floor. To Ash rubbing his sobbing eyes, Dust said low.

"What would you like for lunch? I'll make you bread, shrimp, sweets, whatever. You can serve dried meat if you want."

……

"If you don't eat something, it won't last."

"Dust"

Dust narrows his eyes to Ash, who slowly turns his face.

Ash shook his lips and thanked him "ever," he thanked him small.

"Dinner, it was delicious. The bed of grass, too, was comfortable. He told me all kinds of stories... but I decided."

"... what?

"I'm going to see Morg. I want to see your face."

Out of this house, out.

To Ash, who continues to do so, Dust closed his eyes for a few seconds. Breathe repeatedly several times, then, mouth to Ash's ear.

"They say Morg's neck has been severed and exposed in front of Coffin's royal castle. The King's Capital of Coffin is right next to the capital of Snoba. If the Snobbers catch you, you're not free."

"I know."

"The bodies of the adventurers who followed you have been cleared. But the fact that their whereabouts are interrupted could count as your sin."

"I know, I know."

"What terrible eyes will you suffer?"

"I still want to go."

I have to go.

To Ash, who says so quietly, the dust slowly opens its eyes.

Hmm, laughing, I took a round of lamb ray green flowers from the basket and plugged them into Ash's black hair.

Ringing his boots and walking to the grass curtain, he opens it. Dust flew his voice to the ashes behind him as he stared out into the blue sky that was spreading.

"Let's go too."

"What?"

"Behold, this desperate landscape. I'm used to seeing what's going on in Wangdu... I want to go see it too"

But to Ash, who raised his voice, Dust turned to his side.

Its mouth is distorted by a grin. I showed my teeth slightly and repeated them in a low voice.

"I'm going, too. With you, jump into hell. I made up my mind, Ash. I've made up my mind."
