Seirei no Moribito

From the notes of a certain samurai, excerpt

Twenty from Genesis and December 5, 14 from New Calendar.

The day was a silver world, with winds with chills that cut me off.

As she instructed, Serra Shu Chris, and I set out to head to the 'King's Capital'.

On the road, there was the usual twisted verbal play of Serra and Chris' silly intercession of not thinking about anything, and as always, Shu and I still watched the sight.

It wasn't the same today, it was everyday.

Twenty from Genesis and December 7, 14 from New Calendar.

As planned, we reached the distance of three days after the "Wang Du".

We'll take the camp here today and do an undercover investigation starting the next day.

The contents are the presence or absence of the "Spirit's Favorite". Confirmation of the power of the Knights of the King's Capital.

And a glimpse with Brother Wang.

Shu and Chris will be in charge of confirmation, Serra will be watching, and I will be in charge of investigation.

It's best to move on with nothing, but I've recently been advised that the Knights seem to be against us... we'd better get this over with carefully and quickly.

Shu, Chris... but please don't show off your combat idiot, okay?

Twenty from Genesis and fourteen from New Calendar. December...... ten

A peaceful routine, unchanged after hundreds of years.

Besides, we must have missed it.

In conclusion. We were attacked by the Guardian.

Naturally, we're not the ones who delay to this extent. A swine rushing Chris penetrates and moves it so that Shu covers it, confusing the enemy me, and Selah giving precise instructions.

Yeah, this is a battle that hasn't changed in centuries either... well, it should have.

It is a bright gemstone color - "jade wings" - a color that embodies the deep sea - "azure wings" -.

These two wings have killed us.

I have a lot of time and effort to write down how things are going at this time... but what I can do now is just leave it at that.

It was Serra who was sacrificed first.

They waved Serra in front of Chris, who was severed from both legs and held down by a "protector”. Stop the specific portrayal. Even I am used to torture and other things, that sight was traumatic...... because if you only knew that, enough would be enough.

I've never seen Serra beg for her life. I cried out that it hurt, begged him to stop it already with a vain look, with only fear in his face and at the end of the day he laughed madly...... he stopped moving.

The next target was Shu.

During the battle, Shu, who had passed out after grabbing his head and crashing into a rock, was forced to awaken and try to manipulate him with "spiritual art" to spit out information, but Shu resisted it.

Resistance, blown away by “Ethereal Wings” who are short tempered...... we do not know where they will go after that at this stage. But it will most likely be alive among us.

Chris, who was kept up close to showing Serra being tortured, looked terrible.

Anger turned to sadness, sadness to hatred, and finally to plea.

... Yeah, I naturally couldn't accept that wish.

Serra stopped moving and Chris' spirit was taking its limits… In that state, further suffering was inflicted on Serra… Chris became an abolitionist.

Only Chris, he couldn't help anymore.

Although we, the Elves, have gained some sturdy and pseudo-immortality, our spirit is separate.

Even if the vessel is not broken, it can no longer be repaired if the contents are broken...... Serra, I'm the one who gave Chris a permanent sleep. If you read this note, hit me with that anger and sorrow.

I'll accept everything. But don't forget.

Serra, the emotion you said you couldn't understand already existed in you.

Last but not least, I was left.

Thousands of years...... I did not sway to this extent as I continued to be with Master Gloeidin more than Genesis. That's what they knew so well... that's why they tried to get me to bring the information as bait instead of pulling it from me.

... my presence becomes a heavy stone for my dear comrades... I repelled that.

Me, ha.

I, I, am... forgive me, Master Gloeidin... I, am... I!

Just like that one, I decided to kill myself.

... Forgive me, Glow Idin... Idi. I get it, I stood at that Setouchi, why did he throw his own life away...

To protect Idee. To protect the comrades.

Self-love based on ultimate self-sacrifice. That was the answer, Idee.

... it's time for them to come. This will probably be my final note.

I'm already dead once. More than immortality has been solved, this will be a real death.

... That's weird, I don't have any feelings about being scared. Ning Ro, I think I don't have to pull my comrades' legs... Relax, I do.

I was still human, wasn't I... Selah?

Okay, comrades. I entrust my wishes. This heart is with you forever.

... Goodbye.

...... I read this note.

First of all, thank you for giving Chris a permanent sleep. Even for me, Chris's crazy... no more Chris... I know Chris is dead because of me.

What you killed was Chris' loose shell. I don't care what happens to just loose shells.

So please... no, it didn't seem like it. Forget it.

Shu is alive. It was from a distance, but I confirmed its appearance.

... of course my powers as an "elf tribe" and the influence of “brainwashing"... I had lost all my memory.

Now he names himself when he was human. I can't make contact, but as long as I just look at it, I'll be fine. If you're worried, I recommend it.

I'm losing my powers as an 'elf tribe' too. This is how I discovered your notebook, and I gradually realized that the memory of the torture was driving me crazy but still keeping me sane because there was Chris beside me.

It's ironic, I can't believe you understand the bullshit you threw up if you don't understand.

I've only been able to regenerate my right arm, but if it's all recovered, I'm going to go back to the "inside” first.

It's a wish that won't come true now that it's all gone, such as moving according to her instructions.

When you come back again, suppose you ask for results.

... you realize the real reason why you have to go back to "Lee," don't you, too?

I'm surprised. No, maybe fear is closer than surprise.

I will also summarize the report and the results on the matter. Okay, then.

... I almost forgot. Contact means use "summons technique”.

... I'm glad you're alive - better than Serra

Not long after that the moon has passed. No, it's been a few weeks though.

Serra, I have one unfortunate news.

Master Wang's younger brother, Zwolf J. Lau Zen Fangrande, is dead.

The cause of death, ostensibly morbid, is really poisoning.

The culprit is the present king. Hi, looks like a crime instigated by The Knights of the King's Capital... it's inexplicable.

The King's brother, Lord Zwolf, had sought to correct the present kingdom, which had been boned by both the Knights and the Spirit Tree, as the responsibility of the nation and its royalty, which united one continent: the Fangrande.

That's why we've been in contact with him and we've been making out with him... is this some kind of act?

Our raid and the death of King's brother... at least it doesn't seem like it's just a coincidence.

… and even more so, I will dive myself in.

Good news and bad news...... So let's start with good news.

I'm going up to the royal palace.

... No? Nothing strange. If you go into a tiger hole, you don't get a tiger child....... I also feel a little different, well fine. Anyway, getting inside the enemy is the most effective way to get information.

Next, bad news.

Shu is putting himself up for sale.

... No? It's not in a weird way. To be precise, I am active in trying to sell my name in order to find someone who knows me.

Mountains, I'm hoping to make a name for myself...... I know. Now you should never leave until I do. Shu is also known to have amnesia. Because it's obvious.

That's why I dare you to let me swim...... look for me and Serra who missed the paperwork.

Not yet, it's not time to move. It's time to lay low, build strength and endure.

... So sorry, Shu.

I can't go help you.

Good news and bad news...... Now let's write it down from bad news.

Shu became a member of The Knights of the King's Capital.

I know, I know! That this is the best course of action that Shu should take now.

but...... my emotions are not convinced.

It's not a myth of neutrality, but that they are definitely an obstacle to us - enemies.

I know, but my emotions don't convince me.

Thousands of years have passed since we stopped humans, but people's minds are complicated... and that's why, my dear.

Shu, me and you used to...... no, let's not.

It is in the notebook that neither desire nor reality… should be noted.

The good news... is that I have become a maid of honor with a second prince.

It's not exclusive or anything, it's just a bunch of other samurai, but this is an opportunity.

You will be born to improve the mind of the prince himself and understand correctly the current state of this kingdom and corruption… if you are determined to flip the anti-flag.

Let me help your revolution with all my might.

That's Chris and Shu... because it's my atonement and my determination to kill them both.

The Second Prince - His Royal Highness Prince Diechrist - laments the status quo.

What a wise, sad man you are.

Its appearance of not being given love from the family, being targeted for life as a political enemy, and still looking forward and doing what it can for the good of the people… For some reason, I think of Master Gloeidin.

Idee's past is something no one knows about me, Shu and… now.

Is that the only exception? Those who lived far away and felt the difference of time there could not be exceeded but loved Idi and were determined to defend Idi while being a person… would not have shaken that belief until that very last moment.

That's the only person Idee has ever given her love to in her lifetime.

Yes, His Highness's figure shows his determination at the same time.

I always looked forward and kept scratching my feet, Idee, that one who pierced through to the end with conviction.

Oh, I never thought I'd have this kind of emotion.

Serra, it seemed like you could understand the bullshit I said I couldn't understand again either.

This season is here again.

Gradually, gradually... this is the time.

His Royal Highness Prince Diechrist...... No, dear Lord Dee is.

He has decided to defeat the present king and the first prince.

Let me respect and support that will.

That, Dear Dee... is the first and last service I can give to the only person in my life who wishes to serve this person.

From now on, until the moment you die - together, let's have it.

Serra, it's been a while. Laughter has been engulfed with reassurance in the same ruse and weakness.

I'm not fooling around or anything. I'm just saying it's dumb.

Well, what shall I write it down from?

... No, you don't have any articles to write about.

I will do everything I can to serve Master Dee and to be one of the Elves.

Breaking down the current king and getting out of the "Knights of the King's Capital" puppet would be a disincentive to their weakness and the "Spirit Tree”.

And build a foundation that will never waver in this country and put up an anti-Spirit Tree Faith.

That's what I should do with Dee.

... like me, wouldn't it?

... No, that doesn't sound like enough.

I don't think this is betrayal. My heart is with my comrades forever, just that loyalty is directed at Dear Dee too... not funny, is it?

I'm anxious. I wonder if this strength and the weakness of a piece of paper will drive me to death.

... yet, you can't die.

Here again, one tragedy has arisen.

The tragedy will be the dawn of another tragedy.

But if they decide, I will never stop.

That one, Andy, and - Chris.

The hearts and thoughts held by the various comrades and the beloved... it is forbidden for me to deny them...

Well, it's been a while, gentlemen.

I was relieved to look the same, the same redemption.

So, I have one favor to ask.

... No, it's not weird, is it?

I want to reach out to some people.

... Yes, mixed personal grievances. The wish of 'Ifried', anger at them who trampled it unharmed...... killed Idi, the victim of 'Black Wings'.

Heh heh, I'm the type to hold on to roots forever, right? Be prepared... as you wish, etc. - I will never let you.

From Genesis - and New Calendar - Year - Day

That one's dead.

Cause of death is suicide. It's a blood loss from scratching your neck with a dagger you had hidden.

...... I had a hard time pushing the crying idy. When I kill her, she is imminent with unprecedented force... since the incident that made her determined to live a permanent life as an 'elf tribe'.

The killer, “Black Wings"... makes it, you're related to her. More and more people hold grudges against her at the Tatsuru ceremony.

Well, I can't tell you about people either.

Me, Shu, Chris, Selah and the “witches” all hold grudges against her.

Idee is one of them.

Most importantly, the resentment was amplified by that one's death... holding that wreckage and sleeping quietly now... no, you're more right that you slept gradually.

I wept and looked back at the past when I realized I was gradually in love with it and asked why I had chosen to die The way it was...... very, very unwatchable.

Me too, would that happen if they killed Shu?

That's... where you want it. Because I am obsessive and insidious.

I will chase you even to the end of hell and completely drop you into despair. Still, the sunless mind...... I guess it ends with a permanent sleep.

Even that has already been decided.

They killed my family, my best friend... and me and Shu became vengeful ghosts.

The anger, hatred and determination I had at that time - besides the end, I don't have the means to sink.

... Oh, Idi is crying.

He groaned his name in a sad voice and swallowed it in a cold, chilled wreck.

- Thousands of years ago, that's our reproduction.
