Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

The day before the Japanese people enjoyed the feast, in [Beast Kingdom/Passion], the beast King Leowood, who had returned from [Valar Wilderness], had lost his words in the sight spreading to the present.

Before we went to the duel, [Pacion] was a country covered by stunning lush nature, but now the greenery is being destroyed and perhaps burned.

Not only that, but I also found traces of clearly sharp blade slashes everywhere. Is it the moment the fire is extinguished, or is there a place where soot is dancing?

And the most astonishing thing for everyone was the unusual appearance of the "Tree of the Beginning Aragorn", the symbol of [Pacion].

The big tree, which houses glossy greenery all year round, has never died, and its huge presence has given us the kindness that gently envelops everyone's hearts.

But now, what they are seeing is not a big tree full of life, but a vibrant sole that seems to have been cut down and left unattended for decades.

None of the leaves that were growing tenderly could be found, and the thick branches were thin enough to break with just a little effort.

And what everyone feels at first glance.

This tree is already dead.

Everyone wants to be suspicious of what they see.

But this is undoubtedly a reality, and it's what made it...

"... Cochloe..."

Leowood muttered unconsciously. It is an indignant murmur with maximum anger and killing.

"... look, you take care of the wounded and rescue them."

When Leoward gave instructions to the soldiers who came back with him, they moved out of the field as if they had been shot.

We're going to King Tree. The people told me that Kokulu entered The King's Tree once. I'm worried about Bransa and the others. "

And Leowood and the princes went to the Tree of the King as soon as possible.

Muir and Anold were also on their way to rescue the people, as were the soldiers.

"... terrible"

Muir looks down at the wounded and fallen citizens.

Some of them were young children. The house is made out of large trees, but some of them have been cut down and laid down.

And those who have lost their dwellings wrapped in fire, and those who have suffered great burns from the fire.

"How could this happen...."

The thoughts of those who create such a tragedy are incalculable.

He's crazy.

Anold was furious with his expression. While biting his teeth tightly, he was moving his gaze to see if he needed help.

I hear screams and moans everywhere. The voice of the mother who calls out the voice of the child, or vice versa. A painful scream flies around without stopping.

"I won't forgive you...."

"Uncle...."

"According to the story, it was the same beast that did this! Why can't my family do this?!

The "Beast Clan" has a strong bond of race.

Beasts who value bonds above all else will never betray someone they once recognized as one of their own.

"I wonder if that person... didn't have any friends or acquaintances in this country..."

That's all I could think of.

"... I don't know. But no matter what happens, it's never a good reason to do this."

"... that's right."

"... I don't know, if you think your alliance is in such good shape, this is it!

An alliance between the "Demon Clan" and the "Beast Clan" that has been fighting for many years. It is no mistake to judge that what has been achieved has brought us at least one step closer to peace.

And now it's like betrayal of the "Beast Clan", which is supposed to be an ally. The joy gained in the Alliance has been ruined.

"Anyway, let's save one, Uncle!

"Oh yeah!

They pushed their anger into their hearts and now committed themselves to giving priority to saving lives as soon as possible.

When Leowood entered The Tree of Kings, he hurried to his wife, Blansa.

Brunsa was embracing Anold's sister Live, who had wounded both hands.

"Mother!

Mimil and Kuclear hugged her mother. Brunsa was relieved to see the two daughters safe.

"Brunsa...."

"You...."

Leowood and Brunsa nodded small at each other.

And what happened in the country was communicated to everyone from Bransa's mouth.

"I see... he still... does Kokulu resent me?"

It was Lenion, the Second Prince, who picked up the murmur.

"Dad, who the hell is this cockroach?

But naturally, Leoward and Brunsa are returning only their sharp expressions. She seemed to be wondering how to explain it.

Everyone understood that there was so much between Cochro and me.

"... why don't you tell these kids everything?

"But Brunsa...."

"It's okay with me, thank you."

"Uh-huh...."

Still, is it difficult to say? With one letter in your mouth, you can firmly stare at just one point. Everyone is watching Leoward open his mouth.

And finally Leoward began to quietly open his heavy mouth.

"Kokulu... is the eldest son of Galeos Kaenich, known as the right arm of the ancestral beast King Rendock. And..."

Leowood left it for a moment.

"--I 'm here, Bransa's brother-in-law."

An astonishing truth was told.

"Ohh... ooh...?

I don't know who made the noise. But the word was a question that no one could possibly say.

When she sees Bransa, she knows it's not a lie because she's quiet too.

"Cochrot was the orphan Galeos picked up on the battlefield."

Leoward explains it to everyone so they can chew it up.

This is still before Leowood crowned the Beast King.

It was during the time when his father, Rendock, ruled the country.

After all, the world is still in turmoil, and a great war broke out with the "human race" as the endless days of battle were tormenting people.

It was done in the beast world, and the beasts were able to win, but the damage was huge. Many towns and villages were sacrificed and many lives lost.

And a small village called [Agma] was also caught up in the war and driven to ruin. Galeos Kanych, who was tied up with the Three Beasts at that time, was deeply saddened by his inability to save the village.

But fortunately, I hear that a group of families are still alive.

When I hurried to check it out, there was a sister and brother who were protected by their father and mother from the "human race" that was attacking.

They're still about five or six years old. Both had pure white hair like snow.

But as soon as he ran, the humans killed his parents, and the fangs finally headed for his sister and brother.

Galeos managed to protect them from that evil blade...

The sister and brother survived the village.

My sister's name is Neray.

And my younger brother's name was Cochro.

"Were you a war orphan...?"

Words similar to the whisper of First Prince Leguls were heard.

Leoward nodded slightly and went on talking.

"Galeos decided to adopt the two unaccompanied children."

That was the best Galeos could do, coming from a loss that couldn't help his parents.

Fortunately, it was because he was not in a position to cut back on his life where there were two more children.

And he had a seven-year-old daughter.

That's...

"My wife here... is Bransa."

Everyone's eyes turned towards Bransa. Now Leoward is right about what he said earlier. Sure enough, it's no wonder you became my brother-in-law.

All of a sudden, the story of the adopted child suddenly dashed, and of course the cocrows were confused at first. But over time, I gradually became accustomed to life.

And at that time Galeos took three young men to greet Rendock, the king of the day. That's where Leowood first met the Cochleans.

"When I first met him, Kokulu was a weak child to see. By that time, I was past ten years old, and the cockroach seemed to be too small to blame for doing more training than anyone. But only the eyes had sharp powers. I remember my weak, challenging gaze."

Brunsa looked a little nostalgic in Leoward's words.

"Nelly was beautiful even though she was still young."

Yeah, yeah.

Brunsa closed her eyes and agreed.

"Besides, she was a very good girl. She was smart, polite and, above all, heartfelt."

Brunsa says to remember, and Leoward says to add to it.

"That Eugene was enough to wrap his tongue around it."

It can be inferred that Eugene, the brain of [Pacion] that everyone admits, was so clever that no one could understand it.

Then I started to play by myself many times. Especially poor Kokulu often trained himself with Leowood's swords and fists.

Brunsa and Nelly looked forward to it.

So the world was at war, but there was peace among the four.

Ten years passed in an instant, and the four were growing up healthily, both mentally and physically.

Especially since the beginning, Kokulu has changed and become a playful body, and has climbed to a height that is not even as high as Leowood, especially with the sword arm.

Kokulu, who also started to participate in the war, was feared by his enemies as well as being called the "White Blade".

Nelai and Blansa were opposed to the two joining the war, but they were still fighting for the country.

Cochrane ran through the battlefield with Leowood, wanting to repay himself and Nelly for saving their country.

"But then one day... that incident happened."

A sudden epidemic spread to [Beast Kingdom/Passion].

The cause was unknown, and Eugene and Laraseek desperately tried to figure it out, but no effective means were available.

Initially it took the people, and it penetrated like dondong poison. In the suffering of many people, Rendock also runs to nearby towns and villages to eradicate the disease, and tries to investigate the cause even slightly, but everything ends in prison.

For some reason, it seemed to spread only to [Pacion].

The disease is called "Depletion Disease", which is a disease in which moisture in the body decreases with each passing day.

No matter how much water I drank, I could only slow down the progress a little, and the poison devoured the country without a trick.

As many people died, Eugene finally succeeded in developing the medicine.

However, because it was made by roasting rare herbs, it could only be purified in small quantities, but it managed to administer it to all those who suffered from the disease and stopped its progression.

It was hoped that hope would be brought to the people and that everyone would be saved.

But that's what I'm talking about. I was running out of medicine, and now Bransa and Nelly both developed Depletion Disease at the same time.

Naturally, I told Eugene to give me the rest of the medicine right away... but there was only one medicine left.

Of course, Rendock tried to organize his troops and direct them to find medicinal herbs, but unfortunately the invasion of the "human race" began.

If we split the troops here, we may lose the battle.

But Rendock is very keen to save both of us. Either one of them was going to marry Leoward's wife.

In the meantime, Galeos made a name for himself. I decided to go on a journey to find medicinal herbs, saying that even if I was alone, this war would not be so much of an obstacle.

On the day Galeos departed, he told Cochro, who was taking care of him without drinking or eating, "I will surely make it."

Cochroe trusted the words and begged her to cry.

Originally, I wanted to go looking for it, but I still didn't like to leave Nelly. Moreover, Galeos, one of the most powerful men in the country, was trustworthy to go.

But in the end, Galeos never came back to the land in time. I don't know if I was hit by a vicious monster on a herbal journey or by a hiding man.

The days passed without any news of Galeos, and finally Bransa and the others reached their limits.

Their skin, which had always been magnificent, had turned dark and rough like a dead tree, and their voices could no longer be heard freely.

Their beautiful faces were transformed so ugly that tears appeared just to look at them.

The medicine is for one person. Cochrot pleaded with his real sister, Nelai, to administer the medicine without shaking his arms. That's because Nelly went faster.

Without being able to see the coclou in despair, Leo Wood thought he couldn't get his hands on it and decided to have the coclou stay in jail for a while under Leo Wood's authority.

After an unexpected beating, Kokulu jumped out of consciousness, and when he noticed, he was in jail.

And Leoward, who came to the cell, said to him:

It's okay. I will help Nelly. "

Kokulu also relinquished himself to the sleeping monster who suddenly attacked him because he had not slept for days, in the words of Leoward, who looked seriously at him.

And Cochro woke up, and heard the words of Leowood, who came to the prison again, and dyed his face in despair.

I'm sorry. I could only save Bransa. "

At this time, I guess. Cochlea went crazy.

Throughout the day, the cries rang from the cell, and three days later, his hair, which had come out of the cell, had changed to white and black spots.

Everyone took a breath like that, but he said a word.

"I want to mourn your sister."

With that alone, everyone agreed and mourned severely.

At that time, it was drifting, and the cold rain somehow felt hot.

The rain lasted a long time and didn't stop as if someone were crying. Then the glad news jumped in.

Galeos is back.

Everyone listening to Leoward breathes happily.

"The medicinal herb was definitely in my hand. But... it was too late."

He didn't make it. His body was torn apart by mud and scratches, and he came back with a full body, but... he couldn't make it.

Then suddenly a ray of light ran.

When I realized it, Cochrane's sword penetrated Galeos' body.

"Really...!?

Mimil couldn't bear to put his hand against his mouth.

And then he started attacking people on the spot indiscriminately.

The shape was so distorted that it could not be thought of as belonging to the world that it was as if Shura were manifesting itself. White and black flashes run at an unstoppable speed.

Leowood was relatively reluctant to stop his runaway, but he was overwhelmed by the force.

But that didn't work.

At that moment, Leowood was cut to pieces, and Cochrot stuck himself in Rendock and shoved the blade into his chest.

And Kokulu said,

"It's just a lie."

That's how I jumped out of King Tree.

"Then I desperately searched for him, but I couldn't find him... I saved my life, but Galeos almost died instantly, and my father died from his wounds. And at an exquisite timing, the" Demon Clan "attacked me."

We managed to defend ourselves, but we suffered a lot.

We succeeded in narrowing down the information from the captured "Magus Clan".

Kokulu gave the "Magus" an opportunity to spread information and attack them.

"He really tried to crush the country. Not just once, but many times. But with the help of the Three Beasts and Lara at the time, I managed to cut through...."

Still, what was lost was huge. The Kokulu rebellion inflicted great wounds and pain on the Beast Clan.

"After a while, he disappeared. Sometimes I thought he was dead... but he was still alive."

After hearing Leoward's story, silence reigned without a word. I seem to be wondering how to react to what I've heard about the past that I wouldn't imagine.

But here Mimil never opens his mouth.

"But, Mother, I heard that your father was sick."

Not only Mimil, but Brunsa taught everyone who didn't know about Cochro.

"I see. As a result, you were lying. Most of those who knew about that abominable incident were already killed by Cochro. Some time after that, Kenig's name was said to call for misfortune, and I soon abandoned my daughter-in-law's name to this man."

"I see... but why didn't your mother or father tell you the truth?

Everyone goes to the two of us asking for the answer.

"... because I didn't want to tell future generations that a traitor had emerged from our Beast tribe. Fortunately, Kokulu was judged dead and I thought the truth would continue to lurk in the darkness."

But Kokulu wasn't dead, he was just lurking.

"I believe that the bond of the Wesen is so strong that it is not comparable to the 'human race' or the 'demon race'. Looking at history, there is only the fact that one of the cockroaches has rebelled. That's why I didn't want to let you know in the dark and make you feel anxious about your bonds... but it seemed wrong."

Leowood raised his face and narrowed his eyes to look distant.

"No matter how much you hide, it will all become clear. Besides, I'm not a shaky beast. Indeed, the abominable past has now brought misfortune to this country. Then we will have no choice but to defeat the scourge with our unity."

Look around everyone's face with strong eyes. They also nod small enough to answer it.

"It's not just Kokulu. He is being followed by... the ancestral demon king Avolos."

I can hear the name and breathe.

"Either way, what we got in this duel was huge. The strength of ancient demon kings is different. Besides, the people he was leading had an atmosphere that was impossible with a rope. But this time, the Beast tribe will fight with us."

"Ah... Hyiro-sama"

Leowood's cheeks were slightly broken by Mimil's murmuring.

"Ah, if Hyiro, who defeated me, could help me, I wouldn't be more comfortable."

"But Dad! Cochro is a beast!

Lenion says in a mood that she doesn't like the idea of relying on others.

"I know. Kokulu will be dealt with by us, the Beast Clan."

"Dad... don't you understand?"

"Of course. The Beast must solve the problem. But it wasn't just Kokulu. Perhaps in a war, the ancestral demon kings will put in quite a bit of power. It is likely that we alone will find ourselves in a difficult situation. That Avolos is so strong..."

Most people swallow raw spit at the fact that Leoward admits it so much.

"That's why we need to keep in close contact with the Magus and improve our combat capabilities."

No one can say anything about the legitimacy of the proposal. But I wondered if Lenion opened his mouth.

"... hey, you're not even going to tell me to join hands with the 'human race', are you?

…………

It is the "human race" that has a deeper connection than the "Magus race".

They see themselves as nothing but cattle. That's what I think. "The Beast Clan" is the majority.

"Oh, Hiro is also a human being!

Lenion slapped his tongue at Mimil's scream.

"I know that! But I heard he's from another world, right? I mean, it's not a" human race "!

"Well, that's...."

Certainly, as a classification, the color of the sun would fall into the "human race", but there is no basis for deciding that he is a "human race", as Lenion says.

Mimil has full confidence in the Japanese colour, but it comes from something that has nothing to do with him being a "human race." Even if he is human, not all human beings can be trusted.

She is also listening to what humans have done so far. That's why you know what Lenion feels anxious about.

"Hey, what's up, Dad?

Ask Leoward to hurry me.

Then he shakes his lips quietly.

"I don't want to be in contact with the kingdom now ruled by the king."

"I thought it was."

A little happy, Lenion.

"But"

"What about it?"

"If the country changes, we may be able to negotiate."

"... haah!? What are you talking about, Dad?

Lenion, who was completely relieved, shouted without thinking of what he was saying.

Listen to me.

"Gu... no, what is it?

"Indeed, the present united nation of King Rudolph has no credibility. It's like a country that's been painted with lies. I don't know when I'll get stabbed in the back, even if I make an alliance."

"Well then, do I have to think about it...."

"People change, countries change."

Everyone looks at the person who uttered the word. Just Leowood stared at Ji and his character... Legulus.

Explain it, Leggles.

I asked him for an explanation.

"Yes, if people change, countries change. You know what, Lenion?

…………

I glanced at him silently without answering.

"Look, the king now is as foolish as I am still immature. With the summoning of the brave and the dismantling of the meeting, they are perhaps... connected to the ancient demon king."

"Ha!?

"Oh, did you notice, Leggles?"

"Yes. Otherwise, there will be no end to the story from the end of the talks to the war. Perhaps the ancestral demon king negotiated with King Rudolph by some means in advance and planned a plan. We rode on it, too, but there was a passage that was always moving around to hang our heads."

Everyone is surprised, but Leoward roars with admiration.

"Because I thought I was planning something, I also made a pause with the 'human race' in the form of a temporary truce rather than an alliance. We promise not to interfere more than we need to."

"... so?

"King Rudolph readily acknowledged it as if he had no intention of allying with us from the beginning. King Rudolph thought only of killing the Demon King on that spot. For the sake of the nation, we should recommend an alliance in form, and we should help kill the Demon King. However, he did not object to our request at all, but only sent heroes and us to [the devil kingdom] to kill the Demon King. He hasn't been king since then... no, he hasn't been king for a long time."

…………

"Probably just a grudge... it just seemed like it was moving under a clear personal grudge. Is that why your father didn't want to actively ally himself with them?

"Oh, that's right. But it's also true that I thought it was a good opportunity. I thought I could drop Haos and moved. However, whether it's here or there, it's just a single irregular failure."

Of course it's Japanese.

"There is no way a king who moves with such personal grievances can lead his country in a better direction. A kingdom ruled by a foolish king who cares nothing about his people is only gradually falling apart."

"What does that have to do with changing the country, brother?

"Yes, the country changes. The only way to change is to change people. Isn't that right, Lenion?

……

"If those who love their country more, their people, and their peace, not King Rudolph, rise up, the country will change."

"Heh, but there's a human being like that!

"I don't know."

That's what Leoward said.

"But it will never work in national politics today. That's why the country will not change unless someone with the power to blow the roots to the top."
