Makoto, Midori, Yaya, and Asaya arrive on the way back to Daemon Temple.
Since unpaved roads were occasionally muddy, Midori, Yaya, and Maya walked carefully with their shoes dirty. I don't really care about the truth.
Two children from the village ran in front of the four of them. There are two boys who don't seem to be ten years old.
"Heeeeeee." What the hell is that? "
"Wow. I have two faces."
The attention of the two boys turned to the Ushimura sisters.
Two monsters with two faces...
Yokai's two heads ~
Kids who are screaming from a little distance.
Neither Yaya nor Maya had any particular reaction. I'm giving up. I can't help it because the child is honest and a creature that straightens out what it feels like.
Anyway, the truth rushes out and dashes towards the two children.
The children ran away in a hurry, but after being caught up lightly, each of them was truly smashed on the cheeks and dragged to the vicinity of Yaya and Maya.
"Apologize."
”Hahh... I'm sorry...”
”Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis
The child apologizes with a half-veiled face and a shocked expression when told in an unexpected tone.
"Too much." "If you do it in the city, Taiho."
Yaya and Maya were a bit daunted, but they were a little happy inside.
"I need a car." I was immediately beaten by my mother if anything happened to me. There were many people who were obviously irrationally angry.
True to say that you only nostalgically miss your heart.
"The true mother always has no expression?"
"Hey, Maha."
"It was my mother who made me look despicable."
Yaya was dumbfounded by Maja's question, but the truth answered suddenly.
"I apologized to you later that I was wrong." He was a clumsy man. "
This time, not only your voice, but you can clearly see the nostalgic expression on your face, and your sister's chest will be raised. It was mainly Maya who reacted, but there was only one heart, so there was no choice.
Except for the half pants, a hairy big man dressed as a half-naked man, who just wrapped a piece of cloth properly, was nodding in the room. My eyes are hidden in my forehead and I can't see. The skin color is different everywhere, and it is cracked. Various plants grow all over the body.
The mouth is always half open. Your eyes are open, but you're always looking at the void, just in front of you, or at the floor. You can stay in that state for hours. He doesn't have feelings, but he doesn't have the concept of boredom.
He is a half-dead, half-plant human necromancer who has transplanted corpses and plants into his body. His name was My Earsbearer.
I was born in this village, and I was a man with a thin mind. I can't move actively. I became a magician because I lost my parents and was picked up by a magician.
Once upon a time, he was leaning against a necromancer named Guardian 1. I was treated like a junior there. Tanigide is a friend of the master of my ear guards. When the master raised my ear guards to a certain extent, he left my ear guards and went somewhere. Tanigide then drew attention to the nature of our ear guards, and even if it was just right to let them work for herself, she made our ear guards live in her own house, conducted research together, and carried out all the chores.
It was convenient for the Otobe to have someone who could instruct me to do anything. It also gave me peace of mind.
But Tanigide was killed, and now my Ear Guard is standing by another person.
"Ta-da-da-da. My ear guard, did you make a good boy?"
A bouncing voice was heard, and my ear guard lifted his face. A girl in a dirty dress with bare feet is smiling at my ear guard.
The girl's name is Imino Kamiko. Even in Pregnancy Sacred Village, she was a necromancer girl who treated her like a problem child. My ear guard was picked up by her.
I knew the reason why Miko was hated before, but I could feel it even more since we started living together. In any case, the emotional ups and downs are intense. You wake up a hysteria and you scatter it on things and people. My ear guards were repeatedly abused and thrown at me.
But my ear guards didn't feel any pain. However, Miko understands that she is such a child and accepts it.
"Let's go to dinner." Because I bought my ear guard's favorite cabbage and spinach. "
While saying so, I took the vegetables I had bought from the unattended dealer out of the bag I was carrying and threw them towards my ear guard.
Miko has never cooked and she can't. All you have to do is eat what you have bought. I thought that my ear guard would make it instead, but I had not given such instructions to Miko, and Miko seems to be satisfied with it, so I decided to just eat it with Miko.
You're lucky to be my vassal.
Miko sits right beside me, eating tomatoes, and spreads an irresistible smile to my ear guard that hangs on the cabbage.
Miko was Miko, and I liked her life with the Ear Guard. I've always been alone, but finding someone to spend time with makes every day fun. Occasionally, I woke up and my ear guards got depressed and scattered, but I still loved my ear guards.
"Let's continue to be friendly." My ears and ears. "
This dialogue of Miko was unquestionable at this time.
When the four returned to the temple, the monk gave us a feast.
How about that? How about that? Is the refined food of the monk not tasty?
During dinner, the monk comes to me with a smile.
“It's delicious. I'm sorry.”
I apologize honestly for saying something negative.
Hmm! Tasty! It's a pity there's no meat!
"Um, do you know what refined cooking means?" It's a banned food that follows Buddhist commandments. "
To Mika, who smiled, the monk smiled bitterly.
But I imagine you guys and monks are doing meat and booze without any problems, right?
And true.
"That's right. Everyone eats normally, and it's a long time ago that meat is no good. It depended on the sect too. In the first place, Seijin cuisine came from China, and the reason that Japan tended to avoid carnivorous food in the past is also influenced by Seijin cuisine. A great person who was inspired by the refined cuisine said that carnivorous food was impure, but it made such an idea settle down. Thanks to this, the Japanese's constitution itself has become as unsuitable for meat and oil as it is for Westerners. However, in modern times, it seems to have adapted to meat and oil again."
"Monk, you're very knowledgeable." "Monk, you've made me smart."
Yaya and Maja say that they are monks who are proud of their savings.
"I decided to go to the joint facility at 11: 00, but do you know anything about the location?"
The bill Lu Kaizuki-san gave to the monk to show him the truth.
"This is a village event, a disaster, etc., and the monk has been there several times." There were a few rooms where you shouldn't go in. Hmm... it's a place I wouldn't go if I didn't have to run errands. The Civic Hall... it's like a civic center. Oh, this is a village, so it's a village center. "
"Hmph. The descendants of Tengu said it was better not to go here ~?"
"Oh, the people in the village might hate me." Hmmm..... "
Hearing Midori's words, the monk has a difficult face.
"I'd like a letter or something written by the monk." I wonder if the villagers would be convinced by the monk's eulogy? "
"Oh, that's cheap." Yeah, that'll work. After all, this monk is a reputable monk in the village. "
The monk pleasantly agreed to the true request, but the four felt a little uneasy because they had added extra dialogue.
I always had a tight face.
After the settlement, I feel that it has become a little soft, but all the memories of when it got tight are burned in my true brain.
"I was summoned by your mother and talked to her for hours."
True mother - Aizawa Misa said with a bitter smile in front of her.
"I was the child. I was immature. I didn't want to look at you from a young age, I tried to push you into my own shape. I'm sorry for making you suffer....."
I was truly shocked to see tears spilling out of my mother's eyes, smiling bitterly. Honestly, there was something I didn't want to see. I even had the illusion that I had made my mother cry, even though the truth hadn't done anything wrong.
It's no use being resented.
"I don't resent you anymore."
True denies the words of the mother who laughed molestingly.
"I see. That's when you ran away from home, so I woke up too. Since you were protected by the Imperial Lord, I was preached to by her mother... Most of all, when I saw you crying, I... wanted to make you cry again."
Huh?
True and surprised by the mother's dialogues.
In front of her, her mother's neck broke and bent.
Horror, fear and shock come to life. And a little later, anger and sadness swirl violently.
"This is what happened to me because of you."
With her neck broken, her mother laughs and truly reaches out.
I'll do this to your neck. I'll do this to your neck.
While the mother was strangling me, I did hear the truth. Two voices overlapped. Different voices overlapped.
"I've been waiting..." At this time...... I'll see you soon...... "
Another overlapping voice echoes.
(Who is it...? No, I know this voice...)
Immediately after I thought so, I understood the truth. I recognize that this is a dream.
I hoped I'd wake up from my nightmares sooner, but there was no sign of waking up. A mother with a broken neck does not disappear, but laughs and puts in her strength.
The feeling of being necked and touching the neck was unusually realistic. I don't even think it's a dream.
(I see...... this is......)
Immediately after the truth understood this situation, I thought that my mother's body had been cut into two shields, and it disappeared as if it were melting into space.
"Hey, it's not too early for good morning yet, brother."
Midori, who stood her sword behind her mother, showed her teeth and laughed.
