One Hundred Thirty-nine Stories: The Country

Ad and Ash were coming to the back of the king's capital as they searched the streets for metal glow.

The sword of regression that Snobba's generals had is, in due course, likely around the meadows that Snobba troops were deploying or the stone walls where God fell. Thus many of the people searching for the sword acted around the stone wall, but Ash and the others dared choose to move away from the stone wall and look for a place close to the heart of the king's capital.

Because now that God, the Demon King, and Morg have been so rampaged around, we have considered the possibility that the sword of regression that was rolling on the battlefield has been blown up with rubble and dirt and has fallen somewhere unexpected.

The search hand should be as wide as possible. The like-minded people were casting a slight shadow on their vision.

"But... it's like looking for a needle in a straw..."

"No, it's worse. It's like looking for needles on a big farm. It could be mixed with straw, it could be falling to the ground, and the pig could have swallowed it and taken it.

If I suck, I won't be able to find you forever...... what's buried there?

Addo points to Ash's foot. I saw a pattern of swords filled with blood between the rubble (grudges). When I touch it, there's plenty of gravel (chatter) in the hardened blood, and I puncture the flat of my hand.

When I struggled to pull it out, it was just a crude iron sword, with plenty of brown clamps (kizuki) (impurities) mixed in with my sword body (kenshin). I say to Ash, who bites her lips all the time, as Addo turns his back and peeks into the shadow of another rubble.

"Hey, if the sword is found and everything goes well... if the Demon King wins and this country is saved. What's gonna happen to us?

"... Huh?

"Me and Ash, proper, dust handling. What will become of Rayakels, the Demon King, and Hilnor, the brave man, in this country?"

Ash, holding the cheap sword, looks at Addo still. Ado rocked his wire-like hair roughly as he kicked the wreckage of the handful (this) that was rolling at his feet.

"We're clearly on the bad side, aren't we? The two demon kings are originally to be judged, and the same thing applies to their relics and associates. The brave Hilnor is no longer a great villain who has spooked the world with his legacy. I wonder how people in this country would see us after the war."

"I don't... I don't know now..."

"Do you have any assurances that I or Ash won't get your neck choked?

"Hey, Ado," Ash said, looking back at where the burning demon king was, unknowingly speaking.

"I don't have time. Even while he's doing this, the Demon King is hurting and fighting Snobba monsters. We have to do what we can now."

"If you find the sword. If the Demon King wins. You might want to get away with it at first sight. While this country is in turmoil, the two of us go somewhere far away..."

"Ado!"

Ado glanced at Ash, his voice absurd, with an awesome eye for a moment. Eyes soaked in emotion like a blade that has just carved meat.

To Ash, who unwittingly steps back, Ado turns away and opens his mouth as he kicks through the debris.

"I know that princess will surely cover us. It also means that the majority of Coffins think a lot about dust. But, Ash. Still, we have to fear persecution. That's the fear of a 'country' thing.

Even though every human being is made of gathering together, it cannot be controlled by personal thoughts and emotions. It's an inhuman bucket. Just like the relics of Rayakels. "

"... ad..."

"It was the same when Rayakels. A lot of people who knew his circumstances and mood raised their voices begging for his life. But all kinds of pre-construction, institutions, cultures, ethics, and personal hostility didn't allow it. The benefits of making Rayakels a villain were also too great.

So in the end Rayakels was pushed for all sorts of sins and used for the country to survive normally. It's not just a matter of the royal family and state being rotten at the time. That's the country. Cruel, irrational, violent. That's the nature of the country. "

"I don't want you to be a national sacrifice" - Ado told me to throw up, kicking through the windows of a collapsed house.

"As the legend of Rayakels the Demon King and Hilnor the Brave caught the sin of the poisonous rain of ancient coffins. Again this time a new legend may be made for the country's physical appearance.

Both Rayakels and Hilnor were sent to the side of the villain, and the Dust and Divine Summoner, who inherited the legacy, the relic, were also villains. Wise Coffin royals and heroes defeated the scourge caused by the abominable ancient magic.

If a legend like that ever makes history, you're a villain who can't keep me and Ash alive. "

"Ado. Listen."

Watch Addo as Ash grips to embrace the bloody sword pattern.

Ash said somewhere, in a voice that included a prayerful sound, to a corpse doll that kept being flirted with by a cruel vortex of history.

"Now Coffin... Dust is the country I tried to protect with my life... Dust must have been... there were all kinds of circumstances... but I'm sure it's the country I loved so much..."

"... I loved you?

"... when Dust talks about this country... about culture, climate, food... people... it always seemed like fun"

Whoa, Ash bit my lip. Between them, a fiery, feverish wind passes.

"I, too, want to like - about this country -"

"Azasu"

Ado's face swelled a lot. The expression seems angry and sad. "What?" in front of Ash inquiring...

The belly of Ado's white bone melted loosely.

An ad reaching for a disappointing ash shakes his body about as he blurts down the liquefied bone.

From the wound of the dissolving ad, a blade of bright white snow peeked.

"Run.................. Huh!!

The body of a grumpy, trembling ad was cut in two like clay (Nendo) at the next moment.

A body split into two parts of Ado rolls down the ground in front of the screaming Ash, and where she stood, a bloody man advances out.

From the rubble window Ado kicked through, the blue-white clothes crawl out as they drift.

The man holding the white sword made a cloudy voice that he didn't even think belonged to a person, staring straight at Ash.

"It's a shitty country"

The appearance of the devil (Kao) strips his white teeth.

"To my curse, sink -!"
