This is the home where the pines were born and raised. Worship the Takeda family and walk the sorceress's home. Surrounded by mountains, fields spread out, and gentle streams bless the people. Such an idle hideout where a peaceful and calm daily routine is repeated on the surface.
Behind it, however, dim darkness was hidden.
Human trafficking is repeated, inhuman abuse is called training, and many young children die without feeding.
And some of them were brought by the hand of men. Innocent young children are irrationally separated from their parents and bought and sold. The townspeople of the city were silent that this was also a normal thing in a troubled world. Weak predators. The weak ones are the bad ones.
At the end of the day, I created a monster.
[Just burn it all out]
With just one word, the bamboo collapses from its knees while holding its chest down. Hyperventilation. An unusual wave of murder has swallowed her up. It is not an exception compared to plums and mackerel. Her knees were laughing.
... I can't help it. There aren't many people who are angry and hateful for such murderous intentions. If you put something like that on Matomo, you'll be frightened whoever it is.
The darkness that nested in the Ziyang Flower had already reached the same level as the Circling God.
And then Ziyang Flower took a step further. His hand was attached to a small sword to mow the lives of the pines, not his hurt flank. Healing. You don't have to play the farce anymore.
"... fufufu"
She smiles as she strokes her flank. I can't feel the pain anymore. Ziyang Hua knew that the pines were trying to buy time. I didn't know why.
However, at the same time, it has advantages in purple sunflower. It gave me time to restore my health.
"Shall we leave the farce to this point?" If we keep talking like this, we'll be in parallel for the rest of our lives, and above all, I don't think you'll understand our suffering....... to you who grew up loved. "
Her bad luck. It's that she thinks the common sense that spreads in the city is strange. How good would it be if we could just accept that if we were to let it flow because everyone thinks it's right, if we were to give up because we can't afford to be weak, if we were to just follow orders from above?
I'm sure this sight wasn't spreading.
However, Ziyang Flower could not do it. I thought this town was strange, that the chief was wrong, that the residents of this town were crazy, and I wondered why I had to meet them like this. In a world of warring states where human rights are not scarce.
Occasionally, it appears in history. There are some who correct their mistakes. The crystallization of the people's wishes. As a heroic weapon to defeat secret and tyrants. It is as if the times had asked for it.
It was strange, though.
Ziyanghua would have been praised as a great man by the people as a revolutionary who stood up to defeat the tyrant who wielded oppressive rule if the world were the world. "Her revenge is a legitimate right..."
But such a thing is nothing but a fantasy.
Ziyanghua went down the road to end the karma of the past, even as she shouted that she was a traitor. There is no one to stop him from walking. The bamboos can't move because their legs are stiff. In thirty seconds, everyone's head will be rolling on the ground.
With such a vision of the future, the pine that was hanging down with its mouth shut suddenly raised its face and looked at the purple sunflower. My legs stopped. My gaze crossed. Silence. Then, as the pine gently stepped forward and began to walk, it stopped a step outside the distance of the purple sunflower. But it was also a moment. The pine broke into the space between the purple sunflowers without defense.
"─ Fufu"
In an instant, it was a slashing slash that was released. The pine never showed any sign of preventing the attack, and the blade was stopped when a thin skin was slashed.
"What are you going to do?"
"... Purple sunflower. Your anger is a legitimate thing." If you want revenge, I have no right to stop you. Ringo, I have a duty to accept you as my eldest daughter.... if you want to kill me, just shake the blade out like this. "
Pine! That 's--
"Shut up, you guys!" Now I'm talking to Ziyanghua! "
─
The pine silenced the bamboos.
"... but before I do that, there's only one thing I need to know."
Step by step, the pine takes a step. The blade gnaws. The flesh tears and a strand of blood passes through the blade. However, her expression remained the same. In his eyes, he could see the unique color of those who were ready to die, and it was clearly communicated that Ziyanghua had not lied about the pine either.
……
It was the silence that came back.
Pine, who recognized it as permission, opened her mouth as she gazed at Ziyanghua.
Why did you betray you?
"--Oh"
Open your eyes.
In an instant, a melancholy murderous intent stroked the pine cheek. Killed. Yes, it was enough to make everyone illusory.
I touched the reverse scale.
While bamboo and plum visions of the worst future, pine and bamboo sensed that the tip of the sword was slightly trembling. In response, the pine obtained confirmation to prove the hypothesis in itself. Tsubaki also guessed the identity of the discomfort he felt at that time.
Anger, resentment, hatred.
In response to the pine that said that he did not want to doubt his family, Ziyanghua, Ziyanghua certainly had a strong will to kill. "But you, my eldest daughter..."
However, there was a small amount of remorse in it.
"Don't open your mouth anymore!"
Furious. But the pine doesn't stop.
"No, let me tell you something."... I don't want to blame you for burning the town that day. Karma. My father is the end of the sins that Sato has committed for so many years. After that, we came to understand that some of the survivors were children who were not subject to revenge. I was not abandoned. They also wanted to save themselves from this irrational situation. That's why you sent her to the mountains with your sister, right? Not to get involved. "
"No!! I am!! I haa!!"
“No, it's not. You're not a rational monster. A rational avenger. Therefore, I did not step in the last line. I don't give a damn to unrelated people.... that's why I'm asking you. Why did you betray your lordship? You knew that both Akechi-sama's case and this one would have a huge impact if you betrayed her. Worst of all, you could have lost your life."
"...... ah"
Loli, step back half a step. But if I didn't let him go, the pine would take a step further.
"We were saved by that temple." He gave me clothes, and meals, and a house, and a name. He warmly hugged us, who were filthy and lowly, as a family to live with from today.... your precious sister, Lotus, is still happily alive because you helped me!? Since you haven't forgotten your debt, you still call yourself [Purple Yang Flower]!? Then why did you betray your lordship? If you want revenge, you could have killed me! If you think you're going to fuck, don't you ever shove your head off! I didn't do that because the last two years we spent together were a happy time for you!? You didn't want to lose this peaceful day once!? Answer me! Ziyang Flower!! "
"--Ah, ah... ahh..."
Grab your wrist. Such a restraint, you can easily swing it. But Ziyang Flower stood up with her face pale.
It was the thought that Ziyang Flower was hiding in the depths of her chest.
You can't be ungrateful.
I was saved by that smile. The words struck me in the chest. I entrusted myself to that gratuitous love.... my beloved sister made me smile for the first time.
Peaceful days. A world I've always dreamed of. I can't hate the man who gave it to me. A lifesaver. A great blessing that you cannot repay on your own.
Help Tokugawa Ieyasu by betraying the three mages.
"That wasn't the intention of Ziyang Flower..."
(But I--)
"... hah, hah, hah. Onee-chan!!"
"-Oh!?"
At that moment, there was a crack in the tightly sealed wall of mind.
