Princes Battle to Concede the Throne

Still invisible light

There are no two words for men.

I didn't get any harvest, but I took the bell sound trap away from Moon Heavenly Maru's guest house as promised.

"Face it once a week. And be careful when you stick your neck in a dangerous opponent, which is a good idea to do with a prostitute. I'll help you when you really need me, so call me."

"I don't say it again and again. But I know. Do as I say, and you'll come back for it, won't you? I'm sorry to bother you like that."

You'll be released at my discretion, but I made sure to show you my face regularly, so there's no problem. You can explain it to your brothers tomorrow. We're all inert, so we won't bother heading back alone.

It wraps around cheap hemp clothes that are not unnatural to walk under the castle, and Moon Tianmaru tames the grass shoes to his feet.

Without even getting in the way of the brothers, it would be easy for Moon Tianmaru to get out of the guards in the palace and out under the castle.

and Moon Heavenly Maru, who jumped several times on the spot just in preparation for the movement, suddenly turned this way.

"I forgot to tell you. It's about the speech."

"I'll take care of it. It'll be a tough fight, but I'll never lose"

"Nobody cares about that. Surely the Emperor said the speech would be given during the Martial Arts Festival?

"Speaking of which, yes."

A martial arts festival is a regular event that takes place once a year in this Andu. It is a festival praying for the victory of the war, but the aspect of the economics of the samurai is also significant.

For this reason, it is not so much a solemn divine matter as an atmosphere of banquet noise with stores, spectacles and everything.

There is even a theory that nearly half of the liquor sold annually in Andu will be swallowed up during this festival.

"The people of the city look forward to this festival. You can crush each other, but don't make too much trouble and water the festival air."

"Oh, my dad pushed me about that, too"

"From the Emperor?

"Oops. The Wushu Festival also has the intention of saying, 'The Emperor has the protection of the Wushu God,' so don't let it crush your face."

My father, the present emperor, entertains his subjects at this festival, while at the same time masterfully demonstrating his own prestige.

One such measure is the liberation of gardens throughout the palace, for example.

Usually outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave the courtroom for security reasons. However, only a small portion of the festival will allow public access to the garden. Moreover, I am free to see flowers and drink alcohol there.

Regardless, granting public access greatly increases the risk of unauthorized persons getting involved.

In contrast, the emperor himself taunts, "Because of the protection of the martial arts, everything is fine." And as the saying goes, there has never been a major incident before, so there is a widespread rhetoric in Shirai that 'the emperor has the protection of the martial gods'.

- Anyway, I think the emperor is just eliminating the assassins on his own before anyone notices.

"That's why I don't light a fire on the stage. Don't worry."

"If you hadn't been pushed, you would have thought of that as a measure.

Naturally. In this situation, all measures must be considered.

I couldn't find the strength of my brothers at heart, so I have to work out another praiser.

"Well, no problem. Until the first day of a festival with speeches, we still have nearly half a month to spare. With my brilliant brains, it's like hot water."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that. Then I'll be home soon. Farewell."

As if to say a farewell greeting without emotion, Moon Heavenly Maru rushed out early enough to go. In a few days' time, the brave name of the thief Moon Heavenly Maru will roar beneath the castle. I also feel proud to be your brother.

"I just want to do my best not to lose to the worker's sister... do you want to go to bed now? I'm still perfectly fine."

- Well.

It is my last memory that I laid my futon here and slept.

Never afterwards was he imprisoned or detained by another brother, nor was he unconscious.

It's just that since then, I've spent an unrememorable amount of unexpected time with Locke, thinking comically, "Oh, it's not like this."

Fragmented memories are slight. (i) that Tiger continued to fall asleep infidelly because of his abandonment of training, and that Erzhu was being pursued by arrangements to rebuild the mansion, and that Sanlong had gone missing "don't look for it".

But all of that was no longer just a total trifle in me.

―――――――――――……

"Hey, I brought you a plug when I showed you my face - what's wrong with you! You look like you're dying! Was it poisoned?

It was on the eve of the speech, when the memory regained its colour, that it was completely cornered.

That evening, unusually, Moon Tianmaru was in a good mood to bring even sweet dumplings.

"... Moon Heavenly Maru? What's the matter? You're so generous today."

"Oh, I feel good and my nostalgia is moisturizing today because I haven't lost a bad guy in a long time... so it won't be the other way around! I hear what's wrong with you!

"I just haven't eaten anything in the last few days."

"It's not just" stupid. "

I rolled over on my back in my study and just looked at the ceiling. In my mouth, Moon Tianmaru shoved a murky sweet dough in. Water from the water is poured in without intermittent hair.

"Totally. You didn't think of anything in the end, did you?

"It's not my fault. It's like my brothers and sisters are bad enough to lift..."

"You're the one who shifts responsibilities everywhere. Look, what a bad idea. Get some rest and sleep. The rest of us shouldn't be so different anyway."

Going to keep an eye on this one until he recovers, Moon Heavenly Maru sat back on the spot. It's kind of merciful. Besides, if you step out of the courtroom, you will be praised by the people as a thief under heaven.

Totally different from the other brothers.

If I could at least divide it into my brothers even a small part of the popularity of this Moon Heavenly Maru -...?

At that time, I felt a very trivial light shining in my head.

But exhausted consciousness could not pick up the light, and fell straight into darkness.
