Kakela, who was seriously injured, was transported to her home and put to bed, with a cotton pest in her care.

The fact that someone like Kakela was severely injured, and the story of the black child who was severely injured, shocked and upset the yokai of the village.

Kakela slept through the night and woke up the next evening.

"You're finally awake... I'm glad."

A cotton pest gently hugs Kakura's body.

The sensation of soft, warm skin and the sensation of cold, hard stone are both pleasant to Kakura. A long, long time ago - I remember a young day and my heart warmed.

"I miss you. When Kakura was younger, I used to hug and sleep like this." You were much smaller than me, weren't you? That's why I'm so tough right now. "

The cotton pest remembers the same thing and talks with a dreamy look.

Suddenly, the light faded and Kakura turned around.

"At that time, my body was weak... and I was just taking care of the cotton pest"

Kakela remembers that the cotton pest has been taking care of Kakela, who has suffered from severe illness many times. I've been thinking about it ever since then. I want to be strong. I wanted to grow stronger and become a fine man who could fight the Hunger Ghosts.

"I can't believe there was such a guy..."

Kakura reminds me of a black persimmon boy.

(I thought I had acquired strength that I could not defeat any hungry demon, but I lost to a strange demon that was different from the hungry demon)

I don't know who it is, but I can tell that it wasn't a friendly presence at the time of the sudden attack. But it was also a mystery why I missed it.

"Hippopotamus, I'm telling everybody. Everybody's anxious."

And it came to pass, when the cotton pest had sprung up, that a goodwill hanging at the entrance of the house was rolled up, and a girl came in. With a light green body color, leaves, vines, and flowers blooming from all over the body, this is a plant monster girl.

"Ahh, Kakera is waking up." I'm glad to hear it! "

The girl's expression glowed as she rushed towards Kakura.

The girl is named Muroron and is a childhood friend who was born at about the same time as Kakura. It is a valuable presence in the village because it can rapidly grow food plants and make special oils to heal wounds.

"Say thank you to Muroron." He poured a lot of oil for Kakera. "

"I'm sorry."

"Fine, fine." I'm glad you're okay. "

Muroron laughed and sat down beside Kakera, stroking Kakera's head.

I'm going to get in your way.

Another visitor came in. It was the village's chief, Shiraito Tsubaki. A small, skinny monster with gray hair and a white beard all over his face, with wings growing from his back.

"After consulting with everyone, I made the decision to leave this Black Tomato Island." I'm here to tell you that. "

In response to the words of Bai Taiko, Kakela tried to wake herself up by twisting her face, but she was held down by a cotton pest.

"You can't accept it."

"Kakela... it's no exaggeration to say that the demon here is alive on this island because of you." But this decision was too late. When I heard the story of the mysterious demon you encountered... no, when I heard that you were the strongest in this village and you were seriously injured, all your opponents were broken. "

Shiraito said in a quiet tone to Kakela, whose voice was rough.

There have been many discussions on whether to leave the island. The number of opponents was slightly higher, and those who wanted to leave the island could not abandon the people who wanted to stay on the island, so they fought together without leaving the island.

"For decades, Mr. Malejiji did not come, and if there were any monsters lurking on the island that exceeded Kakera, it would have little meaning to stay here." I'm curious about who the black persimmon boy is, but as far as I'm concerned, he's not on our side. At a time when such dangerous people were lurking on the island, everyone became frightened. "

(So... my defeat broke everyone's heart because of my weakness? Shit......)

Listening to the story of Bai Taiko, Kakura fell into mourning.

"Kakela, please follow me." We may have lost, but there's something more important, isn't there? ”

"Yeah. That's right. I've already worked hard enough for Kakela..."

Kakura was also heartbroken because Cotton Wax and Muroron also made remarks to support Shiraito. I realized that I couldn't do this anymore.

(My life so far... what was the fight...? the dead....)

Kakela fell silent, and the three of them watched.

The hungry ghost is here!

It's an amazing horde!

"There are also black persimmon monsters that I met with Kakera and Hippo!" I was one of the Hungry Ghosts! "

The demons of the village shouted.

"Hey! Kakera!"

A cotton bug screams. Even though it wasn't in this mood, Kakura jumped up and went out of the house to be played, and went out to fight against the Hungry Ghosts.

(I'll beat him up! You can't lose this time!)

The confused Kakura had completely lost her coolness. I was caught up in a fighting spirit that was close to paranoia.

"Oh, can you move now?" And I'm full of curiosity. "

The black persimmon boy found Kakura and laughed. Kakela's murderous gaze shot through the black candy boy.

"Oh wow, by the way, let's keep going." Call me back. "

Kakura ran to the black persimmon boy.

The black persimmon retreated with a laugh. And between the black persimmon boy and the kakura, a number of large hungry ghosts stood.

I'm out of your way!

Kakela was beating up the Hungry Ghosts.

The number of enemies is huge and robust, and Kakela herself is injured and not in a good shape, so she is forced to fight. I couldn't get hurt by the hungry demon, but I couldn't do it smoothly.

Kakerer! It's a cotton pest!

During the battle, listening to Muroron's screams, Kakela froze. I thought the cotton pest might have been killed where I didn't see it.

”I'm going to be stolen by the hungry demons!”

Then Muroron shouted, the worst thing was escaped, but the worst thing was about the next worst thing.

(Are you going to be among the hungry ghosts?)

When he could afford it, the Haunted Ghost did not kill the demon, but took him alive. And I tried to absorb the power of the demon.

"Light and pleasant. Blue. Blue."

Taunting black persimmon boy.

"My daughter gets it." It's time for you to leave your parents. In the first place, the real parent of the Lord is-- "

Kakura had only heard the words of the black persimmon boy halfway through.

Kakela turned her back on the black persimmon and ran towards Muroron.

"Oh, my God, it's blue. It's full of gaps."

The black persimmon laughed and tried to attack Kakura's back, but it still stuck in my mind.

"It's too late. I'll show you the moment someone close to me gets kidnapped."

Thinking of it with a mean smile, the black candy boy dropped off without touching Kakura.

What about the cotton scourge?

Kakela arrived where Muroron was and asked desperately.

"Ah... there..."

Muroron points at me with a crying face. A large number of hungry ghosts were densely packed in one place, and there was a cotton scourge in the center of them.

It looks different from the usual cotton scourge. Both the cotton plague and the kakura are stone demons that stick to their bodies. The number of stones sticking to the skin is too high for the cotton pestilence today. No, the momentum is increasing in front of Kakela's eyes, and it's about to cover up the entire surface of her body.

The cotton pest kept his eyes closed. I don't know if I'm unconscious, or if I'm already dead.

Cotton curtain!

When Kakela calls out loudly, the cotton plague opens her eyes. And indeed, Kakela and her gaze met and she smiled. The usual gentle smile, pointed at Kakela many times. But the smile soon disappeared. Because the stone also covered the face of the cotton plague.

A cotton pest wrapped in stone all over his body. Only the corners extending from the top of the forehead can be seen from the gap of the stone.

(I see. The cotton pest is protecting you. (Don't let the hungry ghosts catch you)

Kakela instinctualized.

While the cotton plague was protecting herself, Kakura headed towards the horde of hungry demons.

"Hey, Kakera! You can't do anything!"

Seeing Kakela rushing recklessly against a large group of hungry demons, Hippopotamus screams for my restraint. But Kakela didn't stop.

A hungry demon swarmed in Kakera. Kakela waved one arm, kicked out, and slaughtered the Hunger Ghosts, but the number of Hunger Ghosts was overwhelming. Kakela couldn't go any further.

The wound opens and the blood spreads.

"Don't force yourself. As your lord, you're going to die more than that."

When the black persimmon boy said in amazement, he paid attention to his thin arm. As if to match the work, a group of hungry demons separated from Kakera.

The cotton pest was already out of sight. A huge number of hungry demons filled the ground, returning to the mountain at once.

"Cotton... calamity..."

Kakela knelt in anger as she curtailed the blood dripping wound. I didn't listen to my body anymore. It was moving beyond the limits of the flesh.

(He could have killed Kakura if he wanted to. But I didn't kill him. Did you save her twice? And you took the cotton blight? Why? Who is that black persimmon in the first place? It looked as if you were manipulating a hungry demon. I don't know what it is)

While watching the hungry devil leave, I was suspicious of Hippopotamus.



The next day, the monsters were building a boat. I made the decision to leave Kurokuma Island as soon as possible.

But Kakela refused to leave the island.

"The cotton plague is alive. It's a stone to protect itself. I'll stay here and save the cotton plague."

Shiraito, the leader, persuaded me, but Kakela didn't ask.

In front of those two, Hippo and Muroron are coming.

"I'll stay with you, too." You can't just leave Kakela alone. "

"I'll stay too." Kakela's arms are easy to crack, so if you don't have a suppressor like me, you'll be all right. "

Muroron and Hippocampus smile. Kakela's eyes burned and she turned away.

"I'll stay, too."

I also said Shiraito Tsubaki.

"We survived thanks to Kakela. But we can't put everyone in danger. That's why I will fight Kakela for those who leave the island. We must recover from the cotton plague."

"Thank you...."

Kakela thanked Bai Taiko for her powerful words. Glowing rays fell one by one from her face.

That was twenty years ago.
