The number of demons on Kurokaku Island decreased over the years.

Last night, after burying our brothers and sisters killed by the hungry, and mourning their death, Kakela went to the cliff. It's my favorite place.

Sitting at the edge of a cliff, he threw his foot out and stared at the sea.

Kakela liked to look at the sea. I look at the sea every day. I'm not tired of seeing it.

Born and raised on an isolated island in the sea surrounded by the sea in all directions, Kakura does not know the rest of the world, but I know that there is another world outside the sea when I was a little boy. Sometimes people come from outside the island, and I heard a lot of stories from them.

There is also some desire to go out on the island. Life on this island is by no means peaceful. But there is no guarantee that the outside world will be more peaceful and better than here, and it is impossible to leave our brothers and sisters behind.

Are you here again?

A cotton pest, the parent of the kakura, comes and sits beside the kakura.

At a young age, it was a cotton rash that replaced her mother, but when the cotton rash grew to a certain extent, the cotton rash was intended to encourage the cotton rash to become independent, so she tried to keep a little distance. After Kakela grew up to become a normal adult, she came to the side again, but this time she felt like she was too sticky. I don't feel bad, but I still feel uncomfortable.

"I'm going to cut twenty people off already." Although our numbers are decreasing, the number of hungry demons is not decreasing at all, but they are gaining momentum with the years. We can't keep going like this. "

While staring at the horizon, Kakela tells her with a sad face.

I couldn't increase the number of Yokai. The reproductive function of men does not work. It is a mechanism whereby the reproductive function becomes active by the help of the creator, Male Jiji.

"Menji-san won't be here forever, and some people think it's better to leave the island together."

"Can you abandon your birthplace and admit your defeat to the hungry?" How many of my brothers and sisters do you think they killed? "

Hearing the words of the cotton pest, Kakela becomes angry. Abandoning the island is tantamount to acknowledging that all our battles and sacrifices have been meaningless. Definitely unacceptable.

I don't think it's worth dying for nothing, obsessed with vengeance.

A demon appeared and called out. It's quite short and small, but at first glance I don't see any difference from humans. If there is only one strange point, it is the strangely large mouth spread out to the side. The chin is also unusually large.

This demon's name was Hippogriff [Kabayashi]. Kakela wasn't too happy about this man. When Kakura was born, he was the man who was most opposed to keeping Kakura alive, and he continued to complain afterwards. Now I admit to Kakela, but the strangely familiar and ironic place is not good for Kakela. Physiologically unacceptable.

"When a living person chooses to value life, if you deny it, you will be relegated from being an island hero to being a dumb hero."

"I'm not fighting to be a hero." We're fighting to protect everyone. But since I was born, nearly half the island's population has fallen. I'm sorry about that, and I don't want to run away like this. "

Kakera reveals her emotions to Hippo in a disgusting tone.

Kakela has fought desperately against the hungry for the islanders because of the cotton pestilence that saved her life. I've been struggling to protect myself. However, the fact that the number of hungry ghosts has not decreased and the islanders cannot protect them is unfortunate. I can't stand leaving this island. It's a feeling that denies everything about your life and existence.

As a matter of fact, I can understand what the hippopotamus says when I say "Kakera", and I know how the hippopotamus feels.

"Thanks to you, Kakela, we can all live now." Me, too. We're all fighting. You're not the only one responsible for this. "

"That's right, that's right." You're not carrying it on your own. You didn't save them all, or die for lack of power. "

The cotton founder gave a gentle tone, and the hippopotamus teaed with a smile.

"They don't move during the day." We need to find out where they are and attack where they're sleeping. "

"Huh. You've done that many times."

The hippopotamus laughed at Kakela's claim.

It was a hungry demon that appeared at night, but it might seem like it was lurking somewhere during the day. I explored the whole island once in a while, but I didn't know. I tracked down the Hungry Ghost, but it disappeared along the way.

I saw a horrible sight when I tried to stretch out all over the island aiming at the time and timing of appearances from evening to night. The hungry ghosts came out of nowhere at once as if a ghost appeared. Some people seriously thought that it might come from another world.

"Maybe there's something missing."

After hearing the words of the cotton pest, Kakela made up her mind.

"I'll try to find it again. I'm on my own. Maybe he was wary because he was looking for them in a group."

"I understand the reasoning, but it's hard on my own, and I'm scared if anything happens." I'm going out with you, too. "

"I'm free, so I'll hang out with you." Instead of sharing, it's better for the three of us to come together and share our wisdom. "

Kakela said that the cotton plague and the hippopotamus offered me.

The three left the village during the day and went into the woods.

The majority of Kuroka Island, a small volcanic island, is covered with trees, and there are few areas outside of Japan. There were no large mammals, but there were no grasses, the ground was bursting out, and beast paths were everywhere. Those were the Hunger Devil's travel routes.

"Hey, are you just walking for no reason?"

The hippopotamus called out to Kakela as she walked through the battle. The search followed a path made by the hungry, but nothing was gained by this alone.

"I think the cave is suspicious."

And, Kakela.

Huh, you've been exploring so many times, now you're doing it?

"I told you that I could have been alert and escaped because I explored with the adults, right? Maybe we'll find something this time. Besides, when I entered that cave, I felt a strange sign."

Hippo smiled ironically at me, and Kakura insisted with her true face.

Three people headed to a cave on the island. When she came to the cave, Kakela stopped and stared into the cave.

What's the matter?

A cotton scourge caught me and I peered into Kakela's face.

"There's something..." I didn't know until I got inside the cave, but now I can see it from outside the cave. It's a strong sign. "

Kakela said with a mysterious look and stepped into the cave.

The three of them proceeded through the cave of the cave. Everyone's night vision works, so moving around in the dark isn't a problem.

"Ah... once I got inside, I could see that I was dull, unlike somebody else." It's so strong and demonic. "

Hippopotamus, I say.

After a while, Kakela and the others stopped. The cave was lined with furniture. And then a muffled voice resounded.

It looked like a big, elliptical rock mass, but with thin limbs. The surface of the body looks like a smooth texture. I don't know the color of my body because it is in the dark. I could see my face on the rounded torso. I have eyes and a mouth. But there was no nose, ears and hair. Looks like limbs are growing on my face. And on the top of my head, there's a spatula.

(Persimmon?)

Kakura is around. Hippopotamus and I thought the same thing. It was a giant black persimmon with thin limbs.

”Guuuuuu.”

Snoring. A demon in a persimmon is sleeping.

What are you going to do?

"I'll wake you up."

Kakera replied to me when I asked about Hippocampus. It was strange that there were demons in the cave who weren't in the village. How long have you been on this island? Who are you? Why don't you show your face in the village? It was really suspicious.

"Hey, wake up."

"Nh...? Whoa!?"

The persimmon monster who woke up looked at Kakela and cried out in surprise. He rolled away and distanced himself from Kakela and the others.

"I'm surprised at this..." No... I was totally alarmed. I don't know. I didn't expect you to come in here. The stones are ours-- "

"Who are you?"

"Fufufu, I'll tell you my name as a reward." I am a black persimmon boy. You've been on this island for a long time. "

When the Persimmon Monster called himself, he ran from his thin legs at an unimaginable speed and charged toward Kakera.

A thin right arm, like a wire, stretches fast. Aimed at the heart of Kakura's chest.

Kakela twisted herself and avoided the attack of the black Kakuma boy in a strange place.

Continuing to wave his left arm, Kakela bowed and dodged.

With just two attacks, Kakela was at war. It was gross hair. Unwanted sweat gushed out of my body at a distance from the backward jump.

Kakela had never been struck so quickly and sharply. His arms are so thin that he can almost pinch them with his fingers, but he definitely sees it as a blow to the place name.

"Hey!"

The black persimmon boy screamed small and filled the space. This time, the persimmon's head was pointed at the kakura, and it pushed in as if it was touching my body.

The speed is also unusual. If you wear a persimmon body, you will be considerably shocked, and Kakura leaps to the side to avoid it.

"Don't do it all the time." Well, I knew it. "

The face of the persimmon grins as it sees Kakura dodging three attacks.

Did you know that?

"I've been watching in the distance. The one-armed child. The strongest one. No, it's number two, right? The most important thing is....."

As he spoke, the black persimmon boy turned his gaze to the cotton pest.

(Isn't he stronger than Kakela...?)

When I saw the black persimmon boy, I thought so while trembling. I think I need to help Kakela, but my legs won't move. The moment I helped, I had a feeling that I was going to be killed.

I was afraid of Kakela, but I pushed that fear to death, and now I set it up from Kakela's side.

Kakura, who was coming directly from the front, was stretching out her arms and alternating vigorously.

The thin arm clashed like a whip and seemed to have beaten up Kakura, but Kakura leaned down just before, slid through the waving arm, and jumped into the black magpie boy's pocket at once, and pushed out her arm without taking a single blow.

In an instant, the black candy boy's mouth opened and something jumped out and pierced Kakura's body.

Kakera!

A cotton pest screams. Kakura's abdomen was pierced by Kakura's tongue, and the movement of Kakura completely stopped.

When the black persimmon boy pulled out his tongue, Kakura collapsed in front of him. Blood started flowing from the abdomen.

”Fufufufu... I'll do it, won't I?”

A child in black with a frightened smile on his face. Part of the persimmon head is dented. It contained Kakela's fist.

Without fear of danger, a cotton pest rushes toward Kakura.

The black persimmon child did not attack the cotton pest, but stepped back and took a distance.

The black persimmon child looks at the cotton pest and the hippopotamus. Both of them had lost their will to fight. I saw the battle with Kakela, and I knew I didn't want it. I thought it was the opponent that didn't make it.

"Why do the lords stay on this island forever?" There is no future here. There is no other way to resist fate. "

A black persimmon child who emits a voice that only stunned his heart.

The black persimmon child was upset. An upsetting situation has arisen.

(Oh dear, I didn't expect to see you in the middle of the Shura....)

The black candy boy tongues as he detects the approach of the sign.

"Let's go, I'll miss you." But if you don't leave soon, I'll kill you. "

Black Kakubo said, cotton pest and Hippocampus I held up Kakera, with a look of vigilance and fear towards the Black Kakubo, and left the scene in horror.

The Lord of Signs appeared in front of the black persimmon child.

It was a hungry demon in a woman's form. While the whole body was covered with something like a black scab, the hair was long and glossy.

"Your Highness, [Ohee-sama]." Why did you come out? "

In response to the female-type hungry demon, the black persimmon child asks in a respectful tone.

"I'm so proud of you...... I can feel the sign of that girl......"

"It looks like you're nearby. I'm always on the same island. But... I've forgotten about us."

“I know, Mas. Demo... I'm so freaked out. I'm sorry I said that."

"I understand." Let's do what the princess wants. "

Listening to the fervent desire of the hungry demon called the princess, the black persimmon child hungered his head.

That was twenty years ago.
