The Branded Female Fencer

Those who travel our way, Part 14 - Those who martyr to ambition ① -

This is a long way from the Alphilis, the eastern continent. This continent, often singled out as the 'East', is a gathering of small groups of nations. In the continent where the Alphilis and the others live, the Demon King was once frightened, but in this East, the presence of 'ghosts' took its place. If there was one difference, the Demon King was organized around one powerful individual, but there was also a weakness that he would be vulnerable if he slapped the Demon King, which would be the chain of command.

But the decisive difference was that each of these ghosts had a very advanced intelligence and an organized army. They were also able to make a subsistence living like men, protecting their living areas in fortifications and creating weapons and protective equipment like men. The more intelligent could even handle the surgical, and with a life force and flesh tougher than man, they reigned on this continent as a race entirely superior to man. Especially among them, those who draw pure ghost blood tend to reign at the apex as' true ghosts', and they continued to divide into dozens of clans and contend.

If there was one part of the ghost tribe inferior to man, they were rather long lived, but therefore lacked the will to make offspring. Many of them had only one or two children in their lifetime, and they were competitors, whether they were their own children or not, and were only subject to elimination by virtue of strength if they were in the way.

But despite man's pride in the overwhelming majority, man was only a weak species exploited by them, and was most often pushed into parts of the west, even within the continent. Things began to change when humans created the Demon Society hundreds of years ago. They gradually enriched their strategies and armaments through human resource exchanges with the western continent, particularly Arnelia, and began to eliminate ghost tribes. At the head of it were four famous houses. It is the Qing Dynasty, the White Confucian, the Higuchi Palace, and the Xuan Soil. They worked with the luxuries who were the heads of their respective settlements and gradually expanded their human territory.

When humans are able to sweep a third of the continent, the continent begins to have more humans claiming their own territory, each organizing its own groups independently to defend its own. They, who were ex-large, were called the 'great names' or 'famous lords', and gradually their attitudes became obscene and arrogant.

Having begun to be satisfied with their own status and what they gain, they became less aggressive in crusading the ghost tribe, and since that time the crusade of the ghost tribe has hardly taken place. The haunted and the more than ten remaining clans were undoubtedly only mighty, and they were busy fighting for power in them, and to the extent that every now and then humans and territories collided with the haunted tribes, a strange peace was being built there. Due to the nature of the outbreak, not many people considered the haunted conquest, but leading the famous men who were still not vigorous in the conquest did not yield results, and the four families who were famous families gradually declined under such circumstances.

It was about 30 years ago that the situation changed further. One boy ends up appearing out of nowhere. No, it's not right that it's out of nowhere. Puritanics was one of the houses that was active at the inception of the Demon Society and was the bravest and most battle-savvy. But the brave die prematurely. One man after another died in a long battle in the house of Purity, and it was thought that the lineage had already ceased. For the first time in more than a hundred years or so, he has been named to the Demon Traitor Society, a boy named Puritan. I called his name White Fun.

"Dear..."

"... m"

"Dear Hall"

Purity White Fun woke up from a shallow sleep while sitting down. A slope and yang have already shot into the room. Before I separated the thin obstacle, the monkey circle refrained. I see the shadow over the obstacle.

"I think it's time you got ready. People, it's gradually getting better."

Okay, wait a minute.

When the purgatory took off its feathers for the room, it began to look good. For him, he dressed himself in a white samurai tone that would be an outfit, leaving the room behind. Outside, the monkey circle remained in its earlier posture and held back.

"Ready or not, Monkey Maru"

"Yes, everything is fine. We are also ready for Dog Guard and Kijiko."

"Well, then let it go first. I'll come back later with Shino."

"Yes - you're finally here"

It was unusual for Monkey Maru and a statement from himself. I usually don't ask Monkey Maru to make such a statement or anything, and I don't forgive him, but all this time I tolerated Monkey Maru's remarks.

"Oh, you're right. If it was a slow walk like an ant to this point, it would also have been a moment so that the bubbles could play. But it's all coming. We're finally going to move on. Today is a step toward that."

"Yes, as long as we have life, we can offer you this monkey circle."

"I'll have you follow me even if it's just my neck. That's why you're alive."

"My pleasure."

When he heard the words, Monkey Maru followed Bai Fu's source, and after a while Shino came to Bai Fu's. White Fun remained upright immovable, welcoming her. Bai Le looked at Shino-no, but her condition seemed the same as usual. Given the important thing I refrain from after this, I have to praise you for being a great lady. Even as planned, I'm enjoying nervousness making my knees laugh. If you run it, you can't pull it back anymore. Whatever the end, it's just a run.

Bai Fu asked Poetry to guide Bai Fu with no expression.
