Episode 65: Yuna's Secret

"What the hell are you going to do, Yuna!! Do you know what you did!? That act is the biggest insult to Yout!! Hurt yourself now!!"

Henri yells out loud, but there's no way Yuna's going to be upset. Then Yuna bowed her head to me deeply.

"My disrespect now is by no means acceptable. You will not be able to make amends with any punishment. Of course, if Youto said he wanted to hurt himself, I would sincerely do so."

"… good. I forgive you all your sins."

"! May I?

"Uhm."

I was quite shocked, to be honest, but my heart isn't narrow enough to make me hurt myself as much as they refused to shake my hand. It's no big deal compared to Serena's attitude.

"I sincerely thank Lord Ute for his mercy. Now if you'll excuse me."

Yuna bows her head again and walks out toward the big hall door. When I looked at Henri, he was staring at Yuna's back in a ghostly shape.

"… please wait a moment, Dear Yout. I'm going to punish Yuna right now in the name of self-harm."

"Fine, Henri."

"So, but Master Yut!! Yuna refused the hand that Master Yut was offered!? If I were you, I would hold back so much momentum that the feeling of Mr. Yut's hand would remain for the rest of my life...!!"

I don't know about that either.

"Yuna's disrespect still deserves to die!! We should make her hurt herself now!!"

"You weren't listening? The rest forgive Yuna for all her sins."

"But...!!"

"I know how you feel thinking about the rest. But there are no more words. Please forgive Yuna, too."

"... Yes, sir."

She still looked uncomfortable, but Henri bowed her head. I stared quietly behind Yuna until she disappeared across the door.

"Well. I'll change the story, but the rest are going back to human territory after this. There's still work to be done."

"... Huh?

Then I could see Sarah's blood pulling away from Henri's face.

"Does that mean I won't be able to see you again for the time being...!?"

"Don't guide me. You'll be back by tomorrow."

All you have to do later is get "The Mad Devil's Hand Mirror" with Serena and the others, and maybe it won't take a day. But there's always no sign that Henri's complexion will return.

"... are you okay, Henri?

"No, I'm not sure I can stand the spiciness of not having any more Eutos..."

Even though it's only one day!?

"Would you still like to take me to human territory too!?"

"I can't do that"

Taking Henri to human territory is like releasing a wolf to a flock of sheep, and besides, I didn't know what would happen if I found out I was cooperating with humans.

"Well, why is Master Lina so often and I can't? Could it be that Yout doesn't like me..."

Henri with a face that seems to cry now. Too much heart sickness for me is a problem. [M]

"Don't be silly. I trust you with all my heart. You're in the castle, so the rest can safely go to human territory."

"Ho, is it true...!?"

"Uhm. It'll annoy you, but instead, when the rest comes back, I'll do whatever you want."

When I said that, Henri's complexion came back to normal in an instant.

"Anything!? Anything!?"

"Yes."

"... ok. Now we look forward to your return, Beautiful Body."

Henri said as she dyed her cheeks red and mozzled. I can almost imagine what you want...... okay.

Having left the Great Hall, I decided to take a proper walk through the Castle of the King. I could have gone right back to Sasha's Ajito, but I was not in the castle for two days and I would be gone again after this, so I thought it was necessary to show everyone that I was alive.

"It's Master Ute!

"Master Ute will be on your way!

The demons in the castle come to their knees on the spot every time they are different from me. You're still unfamiliar with this, aren't you? Normally I'd say, "Hello! You can just say hello."

"Hmm?"

It was time to walk around the castle to some extent and think it was time to return to Sasha's Azito. And I looked toward the terrace, and there was Yuna, who looked up at the night sky alone. That look looks lonely somewhere.

I decided to go to the terrace and speak to Yuna.

"! Dear Yout,"

"Keep it up"

I put my right hand out to stop Yuna trying to kneel. [M]

Beautiful night sky.

"... Yes"

I stand next to Yuna and look up at the night sky with her. Hundreds of times more beautiful than the Japanese night sky in its lifetime.

"... why did you refuse the rest of your hand earlier?

"Was there any special reason?

"... the boulder is Dear Yout. You're looking forward to everything."

No, well, it's just a hunch, huh? But she didn't look like the kind of kid Yuna would reject my hand for no reason.

"Why don't you tell me the rest, if you don't mind?"

"It's..."

"But if you really don't want to talk, you won't be forced to ask the rest."

…………

Silence flows for a while. Yuna looked at me with a determined face. [M]

"No. As a servant of the great Euth, I am outside of hiding things, etc. But if you talk about it, it seems that Yout will hate me very much."

"I don't mind. Talk to me."

"... Yes, sir."

Yuna squeezes her hand cuddly in front of her chest. With a look of tension and anxiety intertwined, Yuna opened her fearful mouth.

"I am - a child born between the devil and the angel"

!!

More than expected shock struck me. Yuna is the same as Sasha...!? No, in Sasha's case, she was a child born between man and angel. A child born between the conflicting beings of demons and angels, that is Yuna...!!

"My body has half the blood of an angel running through it. I thought that touching such an abominable person would tarnish the noble hands of Yout, and I refused to do so."

I was convinced that was the case.

"... I guess that's why I've felt so hard so many times before"

"Yes. I was raw in this demonic realm and two years later my sister was also born. My father was a demon, my mother an angel, but my mother hid that she was an angel, and the four of us have lived a peaceful life."

Yuna begins to speak quietly over herself.

"But when I was seven, that life changed. Finally, I found out that my mother was an angel. Then my father and mother were murdered as heretics."

……!!

"My father and mother sacrificed themselves and let me and my sister escape. But naturally, there can't be a place that would accept us, and we spent years in a forest where no one's eyes could touch us."

My chest hurts. [M] He said even Sasha, born between man and angel, has been discriminated against. A demon and an angel would make that discrimination even worse.

"... what happened to my sister?

When I ask, Yuna looks up at the night sky again. Its eyes seemed to stare far ahead of the night sky.

"My sister - she's still alive. His name is Micah. He's one of the current Seven Star Angels."

!!

A further shock struck me.
