The Branded Female Fencer

Those who travel our way, Part 15 - Those who martyr at ambition ② -

"Poetry. What's to come, isn't it horrible?"

"What now? Since the day I co-operated with Master Bai Le, I am finally set to be ready. And without Master Bai Fu, I would have done things alone. That's the grief of my clan. If it's a mission that I've been charged with since I was a kid, I'm even more nervous now."

"Right. But"

Bai Fu suddenly stuck his hand under Shino's kimono. Poetry, who was pushing through with no expression, blushed with his hands unwittingly at the sudden action of Bai Le.

"Hey, what are you doing! Innocent!"

"Aren't you sweating, you strongman? You might get in the way of your plan... a little farther."

Puritanical leisure did not go directly to the place it was intended for, but decided to go a little farther. This is a separate residence for Puritanical White Fun. It was a place I decided to use when meeting visitors and guests. The construction was therefore elaborate and took considerable account of the landscape. It is usually surprising when people find out that he has such a taste in fighting only when he has been immersed in battle since he was younger, but otherwise White Fun is not a person who does not solve the fun. Rather, I liked paintings and beautiful things. It is a separate residence conceived and produced by its Bailey. But nobody knows what I've made so elaborate for in this apartment that I don't even lean on it except when I need it.

The place through which Baihua passed is a garden facing east. Its garden, made of blue sand and white sand, gleams in the sunset, and it is illusioned as if it were in the sea. Bai Fu stopped walking in front of that garden, tilting his neck only towards you to see the sight.

"What do you think of this garden?

"... right, I think it's beautiful. All this blue sand, you would have had a hard time collecting it"

"It's made of blue coral. It cost me a lot, but I've never thought it was beautiful."

I couldn't see what Purity Bai Fu intended, and Poetry tilted his neck. When Shino glimpsed Bai Le, he stared into the garden with gentle eyes as he had never seen before. No, I'm not staring into the garden. Through the garden, he stares at something far away.

"Have you ever heard why I came to the Demon Society?

"To the extent of rumors. To rebuild your home?"

"Pfft, I'm not interested in that stuff. If you look at me, you'll see."

"Indeed."

If you're thinking about rebuilding your home, you should leave more side rooms and inherit a lot more. Besides, will they call upon the people of the clan? But even after Puritanical White Fun held more than a certain amount of power in the exorcism society, no one seems to be letting him live in the mansion. His rightful wife is a sick woman known as Ziyuan. You think you are so frail that you are full of one son and then you are not very, but not strange in the rest of the world?

Did his son, Shouk (Djukokokokoku), also resemble his mother, as if he had a different personality than Bai Le. He developed martial arts practice to imitate his father, but was born with weak lungs and skin. He can't even get out of the sun light satisfactorily and spends most of it indoors. The lungs could not withstand long periods of exercise and he was an incapable figure of martial arts. Its character was calm and only academics could do more than men, but in this continent, where it is the mission to fight ghosts, even if academics can do it somewhat, it cannot be recognized as a man. It was the end of a rear finger attempt to inherit the meaning of the name.

Nor did Bai Fu cut off such wives and sons, nor did they lean against the main mansion where they lived, and slept many at the headquarters or separate mansions of the Exorcist Society.

But this is a strange story to think about. He was almost on the front line until Bai Fu got to his current position, so when it comes to not having time to make a woman, that's it, but nevertheless the first woman I put aside is that Brady Maria. Poetry was also wondered when they said it.

"It's odd indeed. If I'm allowed to ask you questions, I'd like to know why."

"There are three reasons. One is paranoid, now you're a purist without. You know the Puritan lineage was specialized in combat, right?

"Yes, just on the inheritance,"

"The house of Puritanics has been more this way since it fell, even hoping to rebuild the house. But what curse, a man with a healthy body is not born inside the house of Purity. Probably because you killed too many ghosts on the battlefield. They say ghosts sneak up on people when they kill them. Perhaps some of the ghosts we defeated have cursed us.

Because of this, few puritan lineages were born with the power to fight. That's why our family disappeared from the front stage. I've been a man with an entire body for a long time. "

"So what is paranoia"

"It's easy to imagine. We needed to 'make' as many delicacies as we could fight. How many victims, trying to make a mistake. Naturally, inhumane methods were also taken. How many brothers do you think I had?

"... is it about 10 people"

"88 people. Just my half-brothers. Cousins would have been better together. Do you know what happened to them?"

In the words of Bai Le, Poetry was somewhat imaginable. That's also in the worst direction.

"Is it 'forced poison'?"

"Exactly. We were forced to gather all of the clan royalists and kill each other. No one survived. Many lost their sanity in the tragic battle, and the inside was engulfed in fire, and all those younger than me were consumed by fire and died. I'm the survivor. I killed a clan that actually split more than 100 blood in that battle. My father and mother were the last to kill him."

"Nothing to the mother..."

"My father and mother were brothers and sisters. They said it was a ritual to thicken the blood. We were made to do the same. But all the children born were sick. A lot of them were disposed of before the first milk. Few healthy children were born. I was desperate to live, I was filthy.

Yet even in such a life I didn't want to die, there was a reason why I shouldn't. That's all I came here for. But I was obsessed with my clan's paranoia. The Puritan must be strong enough to extinct the ghost. "

"That paranoia, it wasn't."

"We used the power of the aliens. I couldn't afford to choose the means. But it did happen. The second reason is revenge against the ghosts. You couldn't forgive the ghosts who drove us to this fate. I vowed to eradicate it."

"That's done, too. So the Hall has no reason to fight?

There was sharpness in the words of Shino. Because I felt like White Fun was giving me a distracted look somewhere lately. But you'll soon find out it's a mistake. Bai Fu, who disobeyed Shino, had stronger eyes than any other expression I had ever seen, and was then somewhere obnoxious - wearing an indelible color.
