Sanzen no Souru Supina

■ Twenty-fifth night: tree of sheep

"You kept me waiting."

Until Asuka came out of the tent, who had done his duty, there was an intermission.

Pai Dawn.

Temperature drops well below freezing and chills to the point where I think my skin might cut off.

But Ashley doesn't even feel the cold or dust.

Hot energy rushes through the body.

Thanks to "Chira", or "Valkyrie's Pact", given to me by Aska.

fatigue that was stuck in every corner of the flesh.

All the plugs it was made of were removed, and Ashle felt as if the blood had been replaced.

"What do you say?

Asuka asks how it is, Ashle moves her arm to show it. That's all, the "spindle" energy poured like particles from its fingertips.

"Looks like he's reborn."

Well, Aska smiled.

"Thanks, Aska"

"Probably where the effect time is a few days. If it's a true knight in the main house, I'll say a week... I think I'll have half of it."

It's just that when it expires, it comes all at once, so be careful.

That's what Aska says. She waves her fingers.

He was only showing me Ashley.

Such Aska's footsteps are somewhere fuzzy and uncertain.

Because of the price and the acceptance of Ashley.

Ashley accidentally hugs Aska.

"Sorry."

Aska apologized, but did not try to leave with her face buried in Ashley's coat.

"Sorry. That was hard. At first, I was full of it... and on the way, I was full of it..."

"The other way around, idiot. Too good... I haven't heard that, all this time, for too long, to be able to come home... Do you mean that we can have a path between each other... that we can get through to each other? Yeah, it was... it was too deep and... scary."

I blush my cheeks and Asuka nags. Then I said it like I remembered.

"You scared me! I was scared, too! Omae, so you're ready to accept!

But right now, I'm more afraid of what's left of me like this!

Aska shoved her face against Ashle's coat and called.

I guess it's something else you can't bump into or inadvertently talk to yourself about.

"Omae, I'll have it done on a regular basis. After you find out, if you let it go, you're gonna go crazy."

Ashley can't make a mild promise, and I just have to hug her.

After a while, he settled down, and Aska let himself go.

"Sorry...... hey, I'm excited"

I guess this is Aska's way of controlling her emotions.

Just beat your head off.

Then I looked up at Ashley and said:

"You want to rush to Lord Zion right now, but it makes sense, naturally, to have him wait all the way."

"With regard to paragraph 2 of the contract, that's why."

"That's a good guess. Looks like you blew your head off as well as your body, huh?

Thanks to you, Ashley stepped into Osmadra's teaching unit garrison, guided by laughter Aska.

There are a number of tents set up that are not as good as Asuka's but are chitin and cold proof.

The horses are also carefully cared for and tell the story of the quality of the troops.

"They say this was originally a salt mine. Even now, I'm digging the neighborhood. Well, otherwise the isolationists... Oh, don't use this name here? Pure Human Liberation Front (Purebred Liberation Front) - a source of funding."

Well, I can't just bribe you, so there's a lot more to it. As a matter of fact, there is something interesting about the origin of their funds. Wouldn't you be surprised if I found out? Deeply, Aska laughs.

"All right, you got it all?

Dive a large tent.

There were direct reports who would follow her.

Najiv: An honest but not a glimmer of scum looking deputy.

Timur: A casual, handsome, but unreadable smile at the bottom.

Athelui: A red dot, he said he was an intelligence officer, but I can see him using quite a few combat moves from what he did.

"I'll introduce you again. Ashley, it's Ashledau Balaje."

Introduced by Aska, Ashle gazed with him.

From Nazif, he was worthy, and from Timur, he smiled - but I can't read the bottom.

Athelui's gaze is cold.

"What's up, hug me"

Encouraged by Asuka, Ashle and each do an embrace that shows friendship and affection. Aram-style greeting.

It was a friendly trick, but not really.

Under that surface Ashley was tried on each of them.

That's a "spindle" reward.

Something is a head-on power battle against Ashley, something to shame, something to measure the existence of Ashley.

It's quiet, an exam designed not to be distracted by Aska.

Ashle responded by doing so, disabling their hands.

And I see, indeed, their attitude changed dramatically before and after the embrace.

In that sense, this greeting was essential.

"I've been a lot of rudeness. Indeed, you are a wonderful user. It imitated trying the samurai of the Frama conquest. I want my disrespect to be held in this old bone neck."

I guess you admitted Ashley. Nazif has apologized on behalf of a group.

"I didn't know what disrespect there was. Glad to be able to crack it down with you guys. Were you unfamiliar with the Alam ceremony greeting and rude to me?

Needless to say, the three of them were able to flaunt their cheeks in a cut back that made Ashle feel sensible.

"Grandpa, did you set something up again?

"As I say, the crux of the world is always to be sure with your own eyes, nose, ears, tongue and fingers"

And not to mention in that regard, this Mistress was just like the prince said.

Nazif gave me a heartbeat.

Then Timur asked for a Western handshake - I feel a definite bone in the back of a man's eye that was narrowed.

Only Athelui is somewhere worried, but how could this be?

"Ashley promised me her cooperation with us. But at the same time, I'm going to keep Yugadir to himself until he's too strong to fight together. This is my decision that once saved my life in a drifting temple in Frama. You have no objection?

"But it is, Prince. It is clear that justice is in any case. Isn't it Lord Ashledau who has a reason to fight with us?"

"I know, Grandpa. That's why I brought Ashley here to help me understand that. I was wondering if you could understand the fragments of the facts, or why we fought."

Fragments of facts? Why should we fight together?

One soldier stood at the entrance to the tent earlier than Ashle questioned the sincerity of the words to be exchanged.

"I've taken you!

"Good luck. Bring him here."

It was two men who came in.

One is known to be the head of a nation in union with the "Money of Blood” Co-Prosperity Trantrim, who was taken prisoner from the commandments and costumes that bind him.

The other was an isolationist commander who had been beating Included Beastbees in that jar.

"" You. "

Ashle and his commander stand at the same time. Each other remembered each other.

"Why, Omae is here! This guy is an enemy, he's an enemy!!

A commander who was leading an isolationist shouts.

"You led that despicable operation!!

Ashley, too, was roaring.

It was Aska who controlled Ashley, who tried to fly in anger.

The commander's man was still calling, but he was silenced as he was exposed to Nazif's fists and reprimands and his dissatisfaction.

"Originally, you were invited to do so. Until this Mistress saw his transgression and acted as a knight. How can we not know that it was the rotten state of our sexual roots that turned that bravery, that temperament, against our enemies!

Nazif's one drink just had the power not to let him say yes or no.

"Well, nothing else has gotten me together today. To carry out military operations by Trantrim and its coalition, as well as measures against the contents of its operations and fact-checking to that end"

Don't miss the period, Asuka folds.

Nazif receives emotion and violence, and Aska holds the place.

I see. A good division of roles.

"In particular, I would like to ask your help, one of the treasurers of the Union"

A prisoner man snorted at Aska's call.

"So who, to you and others, I will not be a traitor!!

"Basically, we don't have the skill to question your will. Until he begged for help in the art of appealing to his flesh."

In other words, by torture, Aska said.

Ashle put her hand on Aska's shoulder, anticipating what would now happen in front of her.

"Aska, that's..."

"Ashley, trust me."

Aska was signaling as I said.

A captive man crumbles and resists the bound flesh, but Timur cannot help breaking his knee.

But it was the isolationists, their commanders, who were pulled down by Nazif and Athelui on the tabletop.

Without knowing why, he was suddenly pushed down on the table and the man who was crushed shook his face to the left and right.

Ashley has no choice but to keep an eye on it.

"What's this all about?"

"Who said we'd interrogate the prisoners? You're on schedule. This is, above all, your Inquisition."

The commander tries to thug, but is powerless by his body technique through Nazif's "Spindle" and tied up his hands and feet.

Now let's get started, Aska declared

"Why did you not listen to us Osmadra and make such a shameless ambush?"

"Shit, it did. It's retaliation for the humiliation and oppression we've suffered."

"You claim that was a legitimate vengeance?

"Anything but that!

"Then why are you pointing that spear at women and children? There's only one man the Omaes should avenge, and there will still be a man who lives the same way back then? Yugadir Arkadis Maznab. You should be happy, this is. The one who should hit a resentment like the mold that grew in the old days is still alive."

And yet, why don't you go after him directly? Aska asks questions.

I can't even feel pity for the grin on that face.

"That's because he's always inside the Royal Castle, manipulating dirty night demons in a safe place."

"That's a funny story. This military operation also says Yuga will be ahead of the line. And, I mean, previous military operations, there's no way he wasn't on the front lines"

Why don't you sign up for a ride on the spot? Why run to such despicable terror?

Aska asks.

"Again, if you hadn't gone into strange behavior, he would have gone into military action in about ten days. I mean, we should have been able to meet on the battlefield. And yet, why wouldn't the Omaes? Why are we targeting the weak, not the direct confrontation?

"Well, it's strategically and tactically fundamental to keep enemy forces shredded before the showdown."

"Do I look like I'm only acting out of fear of a showdown?

Because of this, we put together a matrix to drag Yugadir out with minimal human consumption.

Ashley would understand if I asked her that much.

The story of Asuka blowing into Ashley in that old couple's inn was meant to encourage Yugadir's military action.

That Ashley would not betray Yuga.

That you feel a friendship for Aska at the same time.

And that he would be a boring man in the meantime.

They were all built into the calculations.

That's why I can't be hairy enough to blame Aska.

He let go of all his judgments and left them to Ashley.

As Asuka predicted, it was Ashle herself who whistled and danced.

Aska continued.

"Well, fine. Mostly I get it. So, what are you going to do after you defeat Yugadir?

"It is decided that we will return to the throne as rulers. We who have endured humiliation and fought for so long will regain the pride of mankind from the reign of the Night Devil. The people will welcome with joy the return of a rightful king!

"Have you slaughtered, plundered, and raped your people?

Do you seriously think the people will say king to those who have been doing that for so long? Aska asks relentlessly.

"People, or livestock, obey if you see them as masters. Obeying is what they are all about. We take it as the blood of the beast of God, by the beast of God, and by the beast of his use, and by his factors."

"So how about this? What is the funding for your activities, many of which were provided by the Trantrim side? I checked it, though, using a means that was obviously intrusive. The fact is, this is..."

Ashle accidentally raised her voice to Aska's shocking words.

However, a man who is made to lie is only crushed as if he doesn't understand.

"Impossible. What... are you saying?

"I don't understand, it's manipulated to not understand, that's why. Thank you, Commander. There seems to be no more beneficial words to hear from you."

Clarify it, I'm sick of it.

Aska pronounces it fast, or Athelui judges the commander's throat. The table is instantly stained with blood.

Athelui strips the man's clothes intact, only on his back.

Bright white - it was homogeneous to the whitened armor of the Included Beast, and homogeneous to those who inherited that factor, running from the head along the spine.

There is no voice for two people belonging to forces other than Osmadra, Ashle and the representatives of the captured Union, in the too quick military trial and the enforcement of that sentence.

Aska cautioned the ashle.

"Not yet, Ashley, not yet done. Look, it's real from here."

Encouraging Ashley to get fit, Aska pulled out the treasure sword: Jambiya.

"Look."

Anomalies were occurring at the tip indicated by Asuka in his jaw.

The commander's back is supposed to be dead... creepy... are you there?

"Do you remember the story of the Included Beast typing in his factor and subordinating man to himself?

"Even from Yugadir, I heard. That's what he said. Include Beast as a Divine Beast... it's an overdone lift."

"Okay, we're talking fast"

He's coming out. Aska drank, the body's back twitched, and then his skull exploded.

I don't know what to describe it as.

Pure white buds all over the brain plasma, blood and fat.

But it does not resemble any creature in this terrestrial world.

Fresh bodies stood on seedlings.

On purpose, and just in the shape of turning the bulb upside down from stem to stem, it spread its folding arm in all directions to receive something.

For once, Ashley sees this strange presence.

That's when I intervened against that despicable unintentional blow in the shadow.

From the back of one of the isolationist leaderships Aska kicked to death, it popped up.

The same thing is now in front of us.

"This is the secret of this country, Barometz."

The sheep tree - the naming that would have been quoted from its inheritance - was certainly a gap between the pastoral impression of origin and the overly gloomy sight unfolding in front of it that would never have been forgotten.

I spread my arms. It seemed to Ashley to be sending and receiving something.

Ashley just doesn't know what it is or where it's being told.

And before it reacted any more quickly - Aska's thrown Jambiya gathered the light and stood on its strange bulb roots.

The bulb roots look different. For a while I had repeated cramps but eventually stopped moving.

"No way, this is... the planting of the Included Beast... bud, is it?

"Similar, but not as big as this. He takes a lot more than that. Look, I was totally diving into my spine and part of my head. This man who was the commander... I don't know when, but he was a puppet. There was no such thing as" will "intervening in every word of Koitz, in every act, anywhere in it. But for the Included Beasts, he was my husband. You must have seen Omae too. Obediently obey them. I mean, he's just a relay point. He's just a man who plays the leader of the isolationists just like the muscles he's been given. My husband is apart."

"If the Included Beast hadn't manipulated you..."

Sakuraku, and Ashle swallowed a spit. Everything was hard to believe by.

Aska looked back and said he would wipe the dirt with the clothes of a dead man pulling his sword out of the head of the "Baromets".

Is it even a tree/its buds (...) that will have sheep (kachiku), on the contrary, that will humanize sheep (kachiku)?

I want you to make sure Omae knows that.

What do you say, you've been wanting to fight together? Aska laughed. It's a lonely grin.

Then check the neckline of the Union representative. I was wondering if there was any whitened armor.

There was the same thing there.

"Can I take care of that later?

Aska's men nodded silently.

"Keep the evidence with Kitin. It's an important ingredient."

I left the tent. It's dawn.

"I wonder if the Baromets are being planted intensively in some of the key players in the" blood currency ”co-prosperity zone."

Aska said as she watched the night as it dawned.

It will be windy but sunny. The conversation we had as we watched the rising yang was too dark behind us.

"As you can see, besides enemy allies,"

"Apart from the enemy allies... Asuka, I don't know what you're trying to say. Who, for what, what happens when you do that? I don't know what that means."

No, Ashley knew she just didn't want to know.

When I admitted it, I felt like I'd lost the honorable things I'd built up.

But Aska says.

Words pressing Ashley for recognition and decision.

"It was Trantrim who was buying salt from this salt mine. And like I said, it was also the trantrim that was running the funds behind it. I'm not saying I don't know, Ashley, okay, this is... this is hard to say, but it's a selfie. By constantly creating enemies that threaten us, enemies that are also controllable, this country seeks to bring down into this land the utopia of the coexistence of night demons and humanity. It's a plan. Someone wanted it a long time ago."

Sometimes, there are forces that have manipulated public opinion or incited isolationist leaders to try to maintain an ideal closed world.

"No way... is that what Yugadir says? Stop lying, he is, that human is not!!

Ashle desperately defended Yuga.

At this point, yet, Ashley doesn't know Yuga's leopard weird.

I don't know enough determination and decision to burn that self down.

So I wanted to believe that couldn't happen.

Yet what floats behind Ashley's brain to deny... is the organ she saw on Yuga's back on her way home from Log Solitary.

It's about that pure white cross that runs through the spine, to the neck muscles, and all the way to the scapula.

Numerous holes were worn.

"The underground workshop at Gilgisten Castle is alive. And from there, the Included Beast springs up regularly. The Isolationists replenish the Included Beast from there. But who the hell is manipulating it?

Ashley recalls the passage of Log Solitari, seen in Yugadir's castle.

The waterway that runs by the side is water. And the flow... the map. Ashley is reminiscing. of the trantrim.

And gain certainty.

Gilgisten Castle and Yugadir's castle were connected. No, I'm still connected.

"Bullshit, is that stupid?"

Ashle holds her chest and shakes her head.

I can't accept reality and organize it.

Something was offered. For a moment, Ashley didn't know what that was.

"Even I want to believe that, Ashledau. I don't want to believe that the man who left this note and entrusted it to Omae is."

Sorry, knowing it was a bad thing, I read it.

What Aska said and offered was that Yugadir notebook.

My hands shook.

The story of the three betrayed wives, the tired side of a man who lived hundreds of years and tried to believe in humans… and to the meaning that the handwriting was entrusted to Ashle.

Wasn't that Yugadir's will?

Ashley was ashamed of herself for lying to the man, and for being so jealous that she drove Zion into distress at the end of it.

Turn the page. Countless added annotations. The inevitable stains and dirt that age creates. Trail repaired near torn area.

When he was on the back cover, Ashle's hand stopped.

I wonder if the cover was ever about to peel off, there were obviously traces of repair at the hands of amateurs.

"Here... this leash... is the" Spindle "conductor"

That's what we call substances that are more efficient at transmitting "spindle" energy than normal substances.

This is a technique for increasing transmission distances or slowing conversion and disappearance rates by artificially controlling transmission pathways, backwards of events that disappear while they are converted into energy, when "spindles" are passed through substances other than "Focus".

Ashle had been told by Zion that such tricks were applied to the garments of the top night demons.

Theon actually taught me to touch my own clothes.

Ashley meets Aska face to face.

Then, passing through the Spindle - it burned slowly, running... exposing the world to the message that was drawn on the back cover.

That's the letter spelled here.

To those who were not prepared to destroy the notebook was a letter engraved by a flame that could not be seen.
