Souen no historia

After the meeting, Saudi and Yoyo decided to return to the Mansion for the time being. Grouse of the "Five Ministers" also returned to the [Oogon Continent] to reward the Emperor for the collapse of the [Luvino Country].

Everyone was surprised that Soji, who was supposed to have gone to war, came back soon, but they were convinced to explain what happened.

"But [Chaos Clan]...."

As everyone was surrounding the table to talk, Balmunk, who had been explained, opened his mouth with a sharp expression.

"Do you know anything, Bal?

When Yoyo asked, Balmunk told me what he knew with his eyes closed.

"Did you know that the Chaos Clan was destroyed by the Ten Masters?

"Shijie... you mean those who have become [the spirit] now?

"Exactly. Ten masters are the ten kings who were once in this world." When the world was covered in darkness by the Chaos Clan, the ten masters rose up and succeeded in defeating it with their power... "

"Are you? What the hell is going on?

Balmunk said words of concern to him, so that not only Yoyo, but all those who were there, watched him. By the way, besides Sauji and Yoyo, Kaina and Shee and Shiny are the ones listening.

"It's just a story."

"Certainly, our knowledge is only about the contents of the picture book...."

"The truth is a little different."

"Truth?"

"Yes, it is said that each of the ten masters defeated ten Ghosts by offsetting them, but in fact they only succeeded in sealing them."

"Seal? Wait a minute, Bal, does" ghost "really exist?

Yoyo was right. It was a matter of concern. His way of speaking means that the truth is hidden and that it is real.

"Unfortunately, I've never actually met you, but it's something my great-grandfather told me."

"Your great-grandfather?

"Yes, my great-grandfather used to draw the blood of the top ten. Well, the blood is fairly diluted, but it's also flowing to me."

"This is the first time I've heard that."

"Yeah, yeah."

Yoyo and Sauji are stunned by his confession for the first time. But if that's the case, Sawyer thought it would somehow explain why Balmunk is so strong.

A dozen distinguished bloodlines comparable to Ghost . If that were Balmunk, it would certainly have great potential.

"I didn't feel like I needed to talk to you, so I didn't talk to you until now. Only Justin and Princess Natsuki know about this."

Yoyo's father and mother.

"My great-grandfather told me that the ten masters had sealed the Chaos Clan with their lives. The place where it was sealed is Onimurajima."

From there, a mummy of the boy was found.

"Only the leader of the Chaos clan, called the Prince of the Devil, should have been destroyed by the Knight King."

Had the boy Mummy found by Ganange been the Prince of the Devil, he would have been killed by the Knight King and decayed in that mountain. But they were mummified and frozen without completely disappearing. You mean that environment saved the boy...?

"But if the Prince of Demons - Thousand Handed Son really woke up, it would be a big deal. Their purpose is to bind the world. Now the ruler of this world is the emperor. Therefore, they will surely try to kill the emperor soon."

"Hey, Barr, if the others are sealed, why don't you just take down the prince?

Sausage's mother, Kaina, puts her index finger on her chin and questions it.

"How about that?"

Huh?

"Yoyo, was there someone who came to pick up the boy?

"Yes, it is."

"And you saw a tiger robe, and there were horns on your head?

"Yeah."

"Then we should assume that the seal has been broken for some reason."

"Huh!? I wonder if all the" demons "sealed by the ten great people?

Kaina's surprise is natural. A hero once sealed it with his life, but if it was destroyed, it wouldn't matter.

"I don't know if it's all of them, but at least the boy - perhaps the one who came to pick up the Thousand Handed Child - is one of the nine demons released from the seal."

"Ku, cucumber? What's that?"

Balmunk answers Kaina's question.

"These are the nine ghosts who protect the Thousand Handed Child."

"When are you strong?

"It has long been called 'one disaster per demon'. I think one of its strengths can be understood by the collapse of the [Ruvino Country]."

It is certainly not the job of a newly born boy. Exactly heterogeneous, abnormal, heretical. A country was destroyed within hours. It is a calamity.

"If all the Kuki Masses have not yet been resurrected, would it be better to bring troops to [Oni Lantern Island] and crush them right away?

Her eyebrows were frowning and her clear voice looked anxious.

"Sheesh is right, but I think the troops will be on their way after Lord Grouse has advised the Emperor. There's nothing we can do to revive such a disaster."

Yoyo should also know the gravity of the situation. If there are ten malicious people born who can lightly crush the country, they cannot pretend to be others.

"True snow... True snow probably works as a [psychic instrument]."

"Soji... yeah, I guess. I don't have that obligation, but I can't pretend to look at the confusion in the world because of her personality."

"... Miss Yoyo, how many [Spiritual Devices] are there in the world right now?

"Three were buried in the last summons."

It's about the snow.

"And there were six summoned before that. Somewhere in this world. I think we can bring him together with the Emperor's life."

"Does that mean that there are nine [spiritual instruments] in [orb] right now?

That's right.

"So the Emperor summons another one?

Maybe.

"... but I've been worried about one thing before."

"What is it?

"Why did the Emperor deliberately summon a new [Spiritual Instrument] to crush Yesin a little while ago?

……

"If there were already six people in this world, it would have been enough to give them orders."

Yes, if there were six [Spiritual Instruments], it would have been as easy to crush them as Yesin once was. However, it is strange why the Emperor added a new [Spiritual Instrument].

"Could the Emperor have collected the [Spiritual Instrument] because he expected this to happen?

"Don't you think too much, Sawyer? If only I had known that the Ghost would be resurrected beforehand, I would have destroyed [Ruvino Country] before that."

"The Emperor didn't prove it either...?

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"I don't know. I just felt that way somehow. Indeed, as the young lady said, if I knew in advance of the resurrection of the Ghost, I would move quickly to crush the mummy. But I can't move without confirmation. Just because there was anxiety without confirmation, don't you think it was possible to prepare for this situation by assembling the [Spiritual Instrument]...?

"Nh... I think it's too dramatic. And I can't explain why the Emperor thought this might happen."

"Ok, sure...."

Yoyo's words are correct. Sage's thoughts were based on the assumption that the Emperor knew of the resurrection of the Ghost. Even if it's not a demon , I have to have a strong feeling that the world may fall into chaos.

(But if the Emperor had thought of this, it would be a good fit)

But there was also a definite contradiction, and Soji shook his head thinking that his thoughts were not sudden.
