Hitsugi no Maou

Nineteen Stories: The Journey

The 'birth canal' was slightly inclined (keisha) and Sabitoga had to carry the water sucked shoes up full force to catch up with the girl. The sound of water pounding on the ground with the chicks, the sound of pine lights starting with the pussies. They sound faintly echoing across the wall of darkness.

It seemed like a space of such size. There are no walls or ceilings in the range that the pine lights illuminate.

If you get away with the only light source, the girl, you can't move in the darkness. Straw seemed to think the same thing, and he asked the girl who was going ahead to catch up or run with him, pulling out the sabitoga and the ledge and standing with the girl, looking at Matsui as if she wanted something, to slap her in the ear.

"That pine light, where was it? Don't you have our share?

"This is what I lit before the eagle went out into the woods and left on the shore. The thick bunna branches are covered with metal cylinders, and crushed raw trees and resin are packed in stages. It's a specialty that will keep burning for three days if you light it."

"Three days! That's awesome! So, you don't have our share?

"No. Stay quiet and follow me."

With a slight pull up the corner of his mouth, but to the girl who says, "Pizzy," Straw grieves and leans back to Sabitoga and Ledge. Even a portable pine stick or candle (candle) can get a fire from a girl, but once it was completely submerged in the underground lake, it couldn't have had them dry in the men's luggage.

I don't see anything around me that can light a fire either. The men did what the girl said. There was nothing else. Continue walking along the path of black stone that envelops all sides in darkness, guided by the girl who sets fire to it.

I had gone the same view for three minutes, and now the ledge was gushing, and I snorted.

"It's dark, it's cold... it's like a passage to hell. I guess the path that bad guys follow after death feels so dark and dizzy and shady too."

"Hey, it's where the eagle was born. Watch your language."

Girl looking back at the ledge and giving me a good glance. "It was bad," Reggie burst into tears as she snorted again.

"It's not just what I'm saying. I apologize for calling you a monster. [M] You'd have offended me, you did something really rude. Forgive me."

"... what, all of a sudden"

The girl stopped like a little and turned the ledge around. While also receiving the gaze of Sabitoga and Straw, Ledge teases the soot out of his clothes and snaps like a toddler.

"My head's cold. No, it's not because I went into an underground lake. So far away from the danger of death, my heart was getting hotter and calmer as I walked in a quiet place. Come to think of it, I feel like I hated you on purpose to quell the grief of losing my people. You're right, we went after you on our own will and bumped into the bandits, and it was all as if you had set us up... really bad. I was a coward."

"You still use that expression?"

Sabitoga twisted a straw bulb of straw to make tea (cha). Guufu, beside the shtroll who breaks himself, lets Ledge shine his clean (spineless) eyes as if possessive (s) had fallen, offering both hands to the girl to continue the words.

"By thinking of you as a bad demon, I was distracting myself from my fuzziness. I couldn't help but think of my pity for not fighting the bandits, not protecting my people, even running around, because the demons put it on me, and... that's how I thought. You've been kind enough to show me the way."

"No, I'm not directing Omae..."

"I'll change my mind. It is my responsibility to fail to protect my people. I'll pick up their bodies I left up there one day and make a proper grave and bury them. That's the only redemption I can make."

"Stop. The clothes bear has already found me and eaten me. Wearbears take their leftover prey back near their nest holes and pee and smell it. Once smelled, the prey will be treated as the property of the clothing bear. If I take it on my own, I'll track the smell of pee and follow you everywhere. I'm the one who gets killed and pees."

When the girl said that with no expression, she walked forward again.

Sabitoga and Straw look at each other and begin to grab and drag each of the offered hands of a rigid ledge. Neither of us spoke any words again to the ledge of how speechless it seemed.

As I walked for a few more minutes rubbing my body, which cooled with time, I accidentally saw another light at the tip of the girl's pine light. A group of blue and white light muscles, unlike orange flames. It waves like a curtain in the wind.

"It's moonlight. The light that plunges from the cracks of the rock that are not covered in rotten soil dances so much as the earth spins. Beware, the stones also descend upon that spot of light. Hit him in the head and he'll die."

"I live everywhere, you guys."

A girl held up the edge of her mouth (shaver) and gave a smile to the shrugged voice Straw.

Continuing further towards the light, a settlement surrounded by deep moats (dust) eventually appeared in front of the Sabitogas.

The villages, still far behind the moonlight, all the houses and facilities seem to be made exclusively of the trunks (miki) and branches of Buna, and they are built without any regard for the slope of the ground.

In other words, all the houses are leaning towards the Sabitogas. Approximately the men who look out for the houses that are about to collapse now, the girl moats and begins to cross the bridge of the handover of the Buna branch, which was abandoned on the ground.

"Don't worry. The houses of the people of the birth canal will never collapse because they are sturdy. Be careful not to fall into the moat than that. It's a moat to protect the village, even for when uninvited guests like Warebear have fallen through the ground. It's so deep, you can't get out if you fall."

"So... you live everywhere."

To a distracting straw, the girl makes me laugh once again niggardly.

Staring at that smile, slightly in between, Straw said with a hazy look, "You're not honored!?" He raised his voice.

From above the heads of the four people walking on the unreliable bridge, a gruesome sound of the earth descends.
