Hitsugi no Maou

"What are you saying! I'm really trying to save my country from contagious diseases!"

"That would be the motive of the young people you met. I even forgot that death as soon as you entered a new party, the motive of someone else in red."

The heart starts to spit cold blood as hard as it can. To a ledge that tries to hold his chest with both hands and calm him down, Hanlin looks away, like staring at something deep inside his opponent.

"If only my father had been defeated, you'd have thought a happy life awaited you, wouldn't you? I thought if I lay low on the man who's been tormenting you, hurting you, depriving you of your dignity, all the nasty things in the world would disappear and, conversely, I could just take back what I lost."

"Well... that's... that's..."

"But it wasn't. You did smash your biggest enemy, but that didn't make anything of you recover. The distracted mind remained distracted, and the accumulated hostility, the anger, remained intact. You were becoming a bad man, feeling the dark joy of crushing others."

Reggie began to rattle and tremble all over his body, as if he had been invaded by a fever.

Stupid and dumb, I have spoken to someone I shouldn't have spoken to in order to gain empathy and affirmation (like this) for just one moment. "Ledge" is a good man. But this should have been something we should have avoided.

Fake yourself (when?) Ledge, who has offered too much truth, desperately tries to resist Hangryn's words. "No," the vomited voice was weak enough to relieve herself.

"Rude, rude man, you are. What do you know about me to someone you just met? [M] Ridiculous......"

"Explorer, what race is that? I'm very sensitive to lies, Reggie."

Hanglin said with a thin grin again.

"Exploration means" exploration "and" examination ". This means stepping into an unknown realm, finding the truth and verifying it. For example, when you reach the land where your predecessor did not step, adventurers and others may simply look for rare items or valuable objects, but explorers are different. First, we need to examine the soil and stones and guess the properties of the land. Push past water flows in the shape of soil dryness, colour, and stone, and learn about the richness of the land by plant type and natural circumstances. Sense the presence of enemies from the beast's manure (hmm) and imagine the most recent (slight) weather from the wind flow.

Unless you pick up pieces of truth that roll naturally and know something you don't know, explorers don't do their job. "

……

"And this is not limited to the nature of the land. Man's words and testimony are also fragments of the world to be verified for explorers. If the truth mixes with lies, you'll soon find out. Because it's an unnatural 'artifact'."

Hangryn looked over the burning fire. To the frightening ledge, Hangulin's fierce minister spews a curse.

"There was a strong veracity in the episode from your birth to your revenge on your father. I also have strong emotions in your tone, and I thought it was the false (when) and unwanted life of one human being. But since I left home, the episode has been like a crop. I met a wonderful companion and awoke (hideous) as a holy warrior with a wonderful aspiration (corn). Let's take the fate of the country and choose the island of the devil as part of the brave. Such a story is definitely not suited to your human nature."

"My nature...?

"You are a realistic, horrible man. I understand that villains can only be defeated by violence, not justice. The difficulty of saving people is also well known. Why does such a man now carry a stick of unrealistic salvation stories? Just a few young creatures step (f) into the land of legends to get the treasure of dream stories? Save sick people all over the country with that treasure? You must think it's ridiculous. Unless you're a smart, witty man who beat down his ugly father."

Hanglin reaches out to me as I get hit by a bonfire. Ledge's face, which turned out to be too much pulling and sneezy paper, was touched by its fingers and raised a rat-like voice.

Hangulin puts deep holes in her eyes.

"I don't want to admit I'm a horrible man who absorbed all that starch in the dark. I don't want the public to know that I can't even work a lot if I leave the glass factory, I'm biased and educated and useless. That's why I accompanied the young heroes on their journey, where I was able to build good men while waving the violence I was best at.

I don't care about immortal water for you. It was my appearance in search of immortal water that mattered. It was greed (ho) to be able to dress (roughly) with decency and integrity. So I can't remember much about the old party members who were already wiped out. "

"No! No! I am!"

"You're pretending to be a fool to make room for a new party, aren't you? If I were a strong man, my lack of power would be exposed, so I'm wearing immature, pure boy skin. That way we can get strong, smart people to protect us. You can admit it."

Ledge accidentally grabbed Hanglin's wrist. The target with his neck shaken, with his teeth not stirred.

Every lie (a lie) had disappeared from the face of Ledge. The beast appearance of the day he halved his father (Kao) was there.

"What right do you have... to make me violent...! What right do you have for someone else in red...!

"I don't have any rights. But explorers, adventurers, that's a nasty thing to do."

I want to reveal it. It was when Ledge ran the stone at his feet to Hanglin, who answered that.

Behind Hangulin was Sabitoga, who buried her expression in her black, long hair.

In front of Ledge, who let go of everything for a moment, Hanglin rises and looks to Sabitoga.

I didn't see Sabitoga's face, but the voices I heard were full of clear killings.

"Stay away from him again"

Hanglin gave me a terribly interesting look for a moment. But as soon as he smiled lightly, he said briefly, "Rude," passing the rust of Sabitoga.

Hanglin's footsteps go away. As he disappeared out of sight, Reggie let his throat (throat) hold his breath for a long time and turned his attention to Sabitoga.

Sabitoga tried to return her heel after a short time.

Ledge sticks one foot into the burning fire and grabs long black hair while scorching his shoes (creases). Sabitoga, who returns a slight glance, with an unexpectedly strong voice, "What's wrong! I said," Let it go.

"I want to be happy! I want to be a splendid, blind, sparkling person! It's scarier than dying not to be! You know, you're strong, smart and masculine, you know what I mean!!

……

"Father like shit said I was a scumbag! My unwilling mother said she wanted to make me look like a princess! I really hate you both! I hate getting my hair done and being made to cool like a girl! Can you see the pain of being stiffened with corsets and bracelets and wrinkles all over your body and made into a woman's body!" Become a Fine Man "by buying him a Yakuza hero!? You're out of your mind! That mother!!"

Reggie kept grabbing Sabitoga's hair and screamed and scattered a good emotion on her chest.

Sabitoga keeps staring silently at him as he drops all sorts of things from all over his face and flashes a voice close to screaming.

- Eventually, once the ledge with a burnt throat (throat) groaned loudly, laying down his face, pounding and "I don't know what I want to do myself," he wept.

"... maybe I really want to be a hero now... and it seems like my mother brushed me into it... I just really, really want to be happy. But I don't know what happiness is..."

……

"I hit my father (nagging) down, and he stopped being abused. Leaving the house made my mind easier. But I don't think that's happiness. I'm sure the vast majority of people love their parents without having to be aware, and they don't abuse (want to)...... I don't know if I need to confront my father. Even for a mother, there is no way to hold (I) feelings full of contradictions like this...... I must have been from the beginning..."

"Ledge"

Called his name, he reflexively took his hands off his dark hair. Sabitoga turns back to the ledge and sends a quiet voice down.

"I don't understand your suffering. I don't know how you can be happy."

……

"I just, at least, don't hold (I am) bad feelings, like you have to explain yourself in such a voice. I don't feel any negative feelings about you."

"But you're disillusioned," replies Noisy Ledge.

He went on to Sabitoga twisting his neck, gripping his bush.

"What Mr. Hanglin said... that... I'm not so wrong... I said that I was... fake... and that I wasn't really who I was..."

"What kind of person are you really?"

Before Ledge answered, Sabitoga vomited lowly, "You can't even tell".

"There is no one who fully understands who he is. The belief that I am supposed to be like this, etc. is in the end a conjecture. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong."

"But, um..."

"People are all wearing 'masks'"

Sabitoga caught a calm glance from between her hair. Keep your voice up even more as you stare at the ledge.

"He's either a spiritual superman or an idiot, such as the one who constantly exposes himself as he is. The vast majority of humans play temporary self-portraits to show others, or to convince themselves (as they become). More preferred and tidier...... That's a mask of spirit. It's a temporary self for people to live."

"Temporary self......"

"Everyone makes it, it's the ideal self. Be strong, gentle, social, and good. Some think of it only as a tool for interpersonal relationships, and others as a future statue to which they should go. It means that some people take the 'mask' and turn it upside down, while others assimilate and make it a real face.

And some of them can't live without wearing a mask... and others like to put their hands on someone else's mask "

That's just it.

Reggie asked Sabitoga to bite (or shatter) each word, and then gently looked up to check his opponent's eyes.

Sabitoga put up her own hair and smiled at me.

"I don't think your mask is fake. I guess the pleasant (yummy) you to this day, and the strong you've fought your life all by yourself, are both part of Ledge Swallow's personality. What Hanglin said is Hanglin's personal view. It has nothing to do with me."

"... I... I..."

"You can behave as you like. You don't have to think it has to be this way. That's what 'buddies' are for."

Reggie tried to give Sabitoga back some favorable look. But the flesh on my face really didn't work, and I ended up staring at the ground and wandering off.

Sabitoga slapped me on the shoulder only once, which was terrible then and felt like salvation.
