Akiko doesn't let go of her knife when she goes to bed. I can't help but be anxious without this for a while. The only way to get it off my body is when I bathe.

That night, Akiko was able to know in her dreams what the spirit that dwelt in the knife was in her lifetime.

Akiko doesn't know if the spirit of the katana has intentionally shown it, or if it has been passed on naturally.

A woman betrayed by her lover, borne a debt and sold to a girl. Days when there is only a future of despair.

A bunch of figs I get from other girls in the same store.

Being adventured by the sick, it should be noted that he did not receive any kind of treatment, he was taken by the guests, beaten and kicked, and while there was one suffering, he cursed everything in the world and his scattered life well before adulthood.

Akiko feels mighty guilty that he once played with his servants. I recall my own memories of being attacked by servants at the same time, and nauseate at the act of crowding people with position and power.

I wonder why the spirit that dwelt in this little knife helps me. There is nothing in common, but at the time Akiko was also wearing a servant, there are elements that seem to be hated by the knife.

"Betrayed and abandoned are the same for me and you"

A spirit of her daughter in a red kimono stands before Akiko and whispers face-to-face at Akiko.

"I wanted to clear my grudges and changed my heart to a blade. I stayed in the blade. And the sorcerer laid eyes on me, and sealed me. Over the years, I've been in the hands of a lot of people, but someone who could totally use me didn't show up inside. I don't know how many decades it's been or hundreds of years, but someone finally showed up who could handle me. Someone like me finally showed up. You and I are already bonded. I want you, and you want me."

In a tone full of dark joy, she speaks. Akiko had not raised any questions, fears or strays, and had accepted the words of her daughter.

"Come on, find your prey quickly. And slash it. For me to be liberated... to form a Buddha..."

"What's prey? You want me to slaughter you?

A distorted grin disappears from her daughter's face at Akiko, who asks her in the face.

"No... I'm not... If you think about it, you killed him the other day."

A grudging spirit daughter in a kimono spills a bitter laugh and puts her head on.

"You think you'll come back when you want help. So don't worry about it. What's your name better than that?

"Firecoat."

With a dark face, my daughter named her.

"I'm Akiko. Nice to see you again. So you just suddenly don't look like a normal girl from ghost mode?

"Oh, yeah?

A firecoat that snorts at Akiko's pointing out.

"See, that's what it feels like. I thought spirits didn't make more sense, they just flattered me, like a mass of emotions."

"Yes, no... I don't know if it bothers you to be seen with such stereotypes..."

Let your eyes swim and pound your nose head. Fire suit. Seeing the trick, Akiko spills a smile.

"If you kill a lot of people, can you form a Buddha, too?

"Yeah, that's the story, according to the sorcerer who sealed me in the knife."

"Well, I'll try to find someone I can kill, and I'll try to kill them. Let's work together."

"Ah, yes..."

To Akiko, who smiled and offered her hand, the firecoat responded with a shake of hands as she was distracted.

It is a lily that was absent for about two days, but that morning I was back in the mansion.

"Morning, Mom. I had a lot going on yesterday, and I have so much to talk about."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to that."

Seeing Akiko say happily, Lily smiles and responds to this one with a prosthetic hand in her mouth.

The corpse dolls in aprons bring breakfast. The Lord and his guests are intense houses of entry and exit, but this morning there are three: Akiko, Lily and Saito Platinum Taro.

Platinum Taro sits next to Lily, and Akiko sits opposite Lily for breakfast.

The first thing Akiko talked about was yesterday's interaction with Junko. We also talk about those who were in the lab, the power they gave us, the analysis of the demon knife, and the fact that they invited us to join them in a rescue operation aboard the ship.

"Hey mom, what am I supposed to do now? Junko and the others are getting on the boat. I would love to ride with you..."

"You're free to choose what you want to do, and you can go down that path."

In response to Akiko as if to ask permission, Lily smiles gracefully and tells in a gentle tone.

"I tell you to stay close to Junko for a while, but you mean my mom stinks of trouble taking care of me?

In the words that Akiko utters, Lily rounds her eyes. That's a word I never thought I'd say.

(This kid really has a lot of unexpected things to say and do for me)

While confused, that's the lily that feels strange. Pick up a meal and come up with an answer for a few seconds or so.

"It's not like that. I thought I should deal with more people than I deal with just one person. Junko is Junko and will spread the vessel as your person. She's an enemy to me, but she admits her power and her righteousness are mine."

"You've been locked up in that house for eighteen years, and now you say that more often."

Sarcastic Akiko, but his eyes were laughing.

"I have no idea what the hell my mom is up to ~. I mean, go out of my way to get along with Junko, the enemy. I, I resent and hate my mom, and I might be with Junko and turn to my mom's enemies, huh?

Though I say so in my mouth, to be honest, Akiko doesn't resent or hate lilies. I should be able to hate you if I were you, but I really can't.

"That's fine."

A lily that makes you laugh. Platinum Taro looks scared to the side of that smile.

"Oh, and Junko said I had a better back street, but what about that? What does your mom think?

Ashiko tells me, Lily thinks again. Now I had a long time to think.

"That's right..."

of the gavel to allow it to hold between, carry the dish to your mouth. There are a lot of things that come to mind. Why did Junko make such a decision, and with what intent, throw such words at Akiko?

(Do you care about the once true obsession? Perhaps a proper child has come to the idea that it's better for him to just fall in the back street)

That's how Lily deduces Junko's mood.

"It's hard to imagine that Akiko will have a normal life on the surface, too. You have a blade in your heart. The blade is what it is to cut something. If it's in the back street, you'll also get the object to cut it. Not to mention which is happier. Junko must have spotted it. I think Junko is right, too. I would also recommend Akiko to those who live in an unusual way."

"It wasn't normal."

"It doesn't matter. Some people usually settle down, even if the first part of their lives isn't normal. If you ask me in the first place, it's nothing but evil, and the vast majority of the world is covered in that evil. Would you have preferred to have been buried in the evil of normality?

I feel the heat strangely bubbling in the tone of Lily's voice, and Akiko becomes a suspicious face. Ashiko was also concerned that Taro Platinum was blurring blatantly beside her and asking her about Lily's complexion.

"I don't know, Ma, okay? Oh, and me, I want my phone."

Remembering yesterday's parting interaction between Wu Lizhu and Wang, Akiko asked Lily.

"Fine. Let's go buy some later together."

"Thank you. Welcome. I'm going to go to Junko's today and have a meeting, so please come home."

Finish your meal and Akiko leaves the living room.

Seeing Akiko leave, Lily turns toward Platinum Taro.

"Oh? Listen to me now. Don't do anything. What do you mean, eat slowly?

Kitaro Shirakashi eats a meal and asks about the lily with a smile.

"Well, I did something wrong, didn't I?

Pale, shivering Saito Platinum Taro. But I won't stop eating.

"It's rare and uninspiring for you. You should have tickets for the ship for me and you, too, right? I'll sneak in, too."

"Oh no... I can't read that much or anything gay..."

"I believed you could do just that, didn't I? You betrayed it. Are you unconscious of how guilty this is?

With his grin sticking, Lily slowly stabs a fork in Taro Platinum's nostrils.

"Fuko..."

"As punishment, like eating without leaving a meal with it stabbed. If you drop it along the way, I'll scrape your nose off, so be aware."

"Ha-ha-ha."

With one nose pierced with a fork and blood dripping, Platinum Taro resumed his meal desperately and carelessly to keep the nose fork from falling.
