Santairiku Eiyuuki

It hives and snows.

White snow descends from the sky to the ground fluffy.

The people on the road pay for the snow on their shoulders, while walking down the road on a small run and waiting for a warm meal with their families, hurrying back to their homes.

It's the eve of the festival.

It is the day before the Coming Festival, celebrating the birth of Messiah.

My wife stands early in the kitchen to make a treat, and my husband runs to prepare a gift to send to his family.

Kids turn their thoughts to the gifts parents can give them as they help the adults prepare.

Since the Emperor's birthday yesterday, Nova Lemuria has been in a festive mood.

Emperor Lemuria will also be celebrating, do you feel good...

He usually complained about 'squeezing his finances,' about distributing bread to the poor, and today he was dividing the court budget and turning the budget around to the orphanage, instructing them to distribute meaty soup as well, or to feed their children a delicious meal.

Everyone was floating and laughing.

Hence...

No one noticed.

To have a dirty, lean girl down in a thin alley, dirty as a borough rag.

The snow quietly falls on the girl's body.

The girl didn't have the strength to shake off the snow, either, leaving her eyes void and going up the stairs to death one by one.

(... die, is it?

The girl was blurry, I thought.

That might be good too, the girl thought.

This past year, I've fished raw waste, sometimes sledding, and managed to survive.

One day, when someone helps me, God helps me, I've believed.

I see, indeed, the hand of salvation was reached out to stray children other than girls.

A human crumb, very ungodly, named Erkühl, but thanks to a man who was twice as vanity, many children connected their lives.

But to the girl, the hand could not be reached.

The hand paid only for the girl.

Nightmare.

Demons (Nightmare).

It has long been......, it was also before Mesianism was born, before the Lemurian Empire was founded.

A long, long time ago… it is a species extinct 10,000 years ago.

High intelligence, amazing physical abilities, enormous magic, long life......

It is said that the Demons (Nightmare) conquered the world temporarily because of their ability to outperform all races.

But drowned in its power, corrupted...

Flagged against by other races, they fell from their status, were slaughtered, persecuted, and finally perished.

But the blood never ceased.

Very rarely...... some cause ancestral returns.

That was the girl.

The Demons (Nightmare) have three distinct characteristics.

One grows out of the ass, a devilish tail.

The other is the Devil's Eye, which dwells in both eyes.

And black from the head, one horn.

Girls who were originally born to human (human) parents did not have those characteristics...

At the age of ten, little by little at the same time as the second trait began, the traits of its demonic tribe (Nightmare) began to awaken.

With the birth of the Demon Clan (Nightmare), the relationship between the girl's parents cooled at once, divorced.

The girl was to be taken over by her mother...

The girl who was the direct cause of the divorce was not loved by her mother, and she continued to be abused.

Ultimately, the mother will remarry a man with children who was preceded by his wife...

She was evicted from her home when she was eleven years old by a mother who feared that her engagement would be abandoned because she had a child of the Demon Clan (Nightmare).

"You're not my daughter! There can't be demon blood in my blood. Never show that face before me again!!

'I wish I hadn't given birth to you. Because of that man and you, I think there's demon blood in my blood. Don't talk to me again!!

The girl's ears still had the words of those parents creeping in them.

I used to...

Before the demonic (nightmare) traits appeared in the girl's body, the girl was properly loved by her parents.

The girl's birthday coincides with the eve festival...

On the eve of the festival (birthday) and the descent festival, my parents gave me presents, a warm meal, and love.

Right now, all a girl gets is cold, hunger and loneliness.

(... already, tired)

No matter how much you live, there is not a single person who can hang a girl-friendly word.

Everyone threw stones and curses when they knew the girl was a Demon (Nightmare).

Neither the gentle-minded Mesian priest, nor the bureaucrats and soldiers who were orphans under the Emperor's life, treated only the girl as a human being, drove her away, and helped her.

In the midst of the city's hustle and bustle, children can be heard compelling sweets and stuffed animals.

Happiness that used to be enjoyed by girls too, and now it's happiness that you never get when you reach for it.

(... birthday, was... today)

It was fun, old memories running through the girl's head like a running light.

At the same time, the cold, hunger, loneliness and fear of death that strikes the girl are now more accentuated.

From the girl's eyes, a drop of tears fell zero.

The girl closes her eyes.

I'm tired of even opening my eyes now.

Let's fall asleep.

That way, you'll never wake up again, and you'll never feel cold, hungry, lonely, or afraid.

Anyway, I wanted to make it easier.

The girl who gives up living, she pulls out her whole body.

Then it got strange and easier.

(... to heaven, can the Demons (Nightmare) go?

I'm sure you won't be able to go.

Perhaps the destination is hell.

It's obvious because you're a Demon.

But it's good in hell.

At least you won't be lonely...

Yes, the girl thinks...

I tried to let go of consciousness, it was then.

"Hey, you okay? Fucking kid?"

I heard a man.

The girl opens her thin eyes.

In front of the girl stood a long-eared (elf) man.

Amazingly neat face. Black beautiful hair, blue and beautiful eyes like the sea.

He weaves a thick, luxurious coat of fur.

"Hey, can you hear me?

The girl did not answer the man's words.

I didn't have the strength, because I do...

Because you know it doesn't make sense.

I've been called out many times before.

And finally, when God helped himself, I hoped.

But as soon as I found out I was a Demon (Nightmare), I left to run away.

This man will also flee if he finds out he is a Demon (Nightmare).

Perhaps violence.

That's why girls don't answer men's questions.

Because it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I'm going to die.

"Hmm... you have a strange tail growing. And there are black horns. Could it be the Nightmare? Well, don't snort at the cookout or the orphanage for help."

The man groans, blurring, and surrounds himself behind the girl.

Worn out, I don't know if I can call it clothes, a girl stuck her hand in the cloth cut all over herself and dragged all her tails out.

"I see you're right in the literature. But... triangle, more of a heart-shaped. The tail. Does it vary from individual to individual?

The young man returns to the front of the girl again, then grabs the girl's hair and peeks into her eyes.

"Is this the Devil's Eye? I feel the same..."

The young man looks intrigued and looks at the girl.

And I reached out to the girl.

"Well, whatever it is...... all Nova Lemuria's kids are going to help, it has been in my mind since I decided on a protection policy for orphans. I don't know if you're a Demon (Nightmare)... but in my country, by my carelessness, it doesn't have a good aftertaste to help a kid die..."

And the youth asks the girl.

"Do you want to live? Or do you want to die? Reach out if you want to live. Or shake your head vertically. If you can't do that either, stare at me. If you want to die, keep your eyes open. I'll get you a grave later."

(Do you want to live? You want to die?

I've worked so hard to live.

But it's just hard. That was about as good as dead.

It's easier to die.

The girl tries to meditate her eyes...

"Yes, I want to live..."

Reached out to the youth.

As the young man took the girl's hand, the girl lost her mind.

"Right, okay. Let's help you."

Later the girl spoke.

'God didn't help me. But Your Majesty, His Majesty alone helped me. So all this life and body, I dedicate to Your Majesty. If it's for Your Majesty, I'll do anything. If His Majesty's going, I'll show him the desert, the sea, hell. I will never betray His Majesty, even if the world makes God His Majesty's enemy. Because to me His Majesty is God, the world, everything'

It was this girl who later made herself one of the fifteen-pillar subjects of Emperor Erkür, called the right arm of Emperor Erkür,

Alongside Darios Leppard, the only general who could have accompanied Emperor Erkür in his military thinking.

One of the most trusted ministers of the Elquille Emperor and one of the women spoiled as heterosexual.

And in future generations, the woman whose life was most playfully played.

It is a 'evil ghost' nia.
