Hitsugi no Maou

"- I am here tonight to give birth to that wild country daughter."

"Shibki? She's a smart little girl. That's why I'm extra hateful."

That mother made me cry when she snored.

Sabitoga tried to rise from the tatami to the princess of the ghost, who said with pleasure. Immediately the finger of the ghost princess stretches and feeds her nails into the back of Sabitoga's hand.

"The disrespectful. I'm still talking."

"I can't hear you."

"It's easy for a woman to fight. I offer everything to the king of men."

The eyes of the ghost princess hang. Sabitoga exhaled slowly as she stared at the blood tide (chishi) flowing through her grabbed hands.

"... you will not know that you will continue to be imprisoned in the rear palace... but I cannot give in to anyone, at least in this case"

"What?"

"I am not serving Prince Mitten. I refused to be his subordinate. And with the help of courageous people, we came to this."

"It will be for the will of the fathers to come to Shibki"

"No."

The ghost princess stared at Sabitoga with horrible eyes. To the unacceptable glance of any falsehood or deception (gibberish), Sabitoga exposed herself here alone and her true heart.

"I wanted to serve Prince Shibki. I wanted to serve someone who was smart, understood justice, was serious about humanity, and therefore could not wear it to the throne. The winner as the usurper of the throne is the thinnest, but the vessel as the ruler is bigger than anyone else.

… such as Prince Shibki fulfilling for his foolish and extreme predecessors and evil princes of Mittens… even if heaven and earth allow it, man's path will not allow it "

"It's people's way? The executioner..."

"I'm afraid I don't have the power to help you or the other queens."

A ghost princess took her nails off Sabitoga with a stiff look. Sabitoga stands up slowly, staring at her.

After filling the room with rain noises often, the ghost princess bit her lip and said, "Yue Yue."

"You, it would be useful to kill people. A man who peels, grinds flesh, removes bones, and exposes them to the sun, what is he now, a warrior, a knight..."

"People have to fight, they have to fight against fate," he said earlier.

"Too late! Too late! If I had revealed my true intentions sooner, you and I would have been made to patrol! I will take the rear palace, and you will tremble with terror. I may not have even given Mittens the afterlife!!

"... I'm sorry. But whether or not you want to commit a conspiracy is another story."

To Sabitoga lowering her head, the ghost princess grabbed the liquor vessel as she shook her head, stirring up the tight liquor directly as it was.

Tears in her eyes as she burns her throat (throat) and throws out her liquor bowl, she exhales the smelly breath of fermented peaches.

"You were born in a time without descent," said the ghost princess, breathing on her shoulder, who should have passed thirty years earlier in the year, with a stained voice.

"I tell the Empress that you are a general or better person. If it was the right time, we would have died filled with pride and happiness."

……

"Shibki is in his western bedroom. If you come in the opposite deck, you'll be able to get to the roof."

Sabitoga opens her eyes and turns her face in the suggested direction. The three-story bedroom where the spouses originally lived was to the north. It was unexpected that Shibki had been imprisoned in the bedroom of a two-story senior queen.

A ghost princess sat straight on the tatami again, correcting her nearly messed up kimono. "Lose it," he said with his eyes closed, giving off a cold voice.

"Don't disturb the hearts of the woman in the back palace any more. Both the junior queen who seeks men and the senior queen who sits without them, feel close to death and confused by the meaning of her life.

Your very existence is a poison to the eyes. Just take Shibki and the alma mater and disappear. "

"……………………"

"Unexpected conversations were fun. I just want to say thank you."

Sabitoga stared at the face of the icey ghost princess and thanked her deeply and politely. Then he picks up the bone saw and leaves the room behind.

When the rain door opened and closed, the wind blowing in made the candle (candle) fire dance.

The ghost princess, Lady Minsey, gently distorts her lips in such flaming flames.

"He's a good man," he snapped, whispering to the flames so no one could hear him.

The smell of peaches and blood drifted through the dim room.
