The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 191 - Conference Day 7, Night ④ -

Fujita sighed at Shino, who stared.

"Ola honestly doesn't like you. So would Puritan's husband, but he thinks that the presence of the Four Families has corrupted the Demonic Society, and hence the eastern continent. The Yoshimazu family of Ora and the others, who were used as spirits in the four houses, are on the verge of dying or being cursed in repeated battles. Still, my fathers told me to serve you, so Ora answered the call, but I'm never moving on your orders. Ora is moving because she is Puritan's husband. Just remember that."

"Absolutely. I may be the one who called it in, but maybe that's not the reason."

"Really? Then why are you trying to lead the Four Houses without trying to master the Magic Society yourself? You already know that there are no locomotives left in any house in the White Confucius, Higuya, or Kurotsuchi? If you are truly looking to lead the Demon Society and make the eastern continent better, the Four Houses should be the quickest to destroy and recover their property. Why wouldn't you?

"It's..."

Poetry has the idea of poetry. But if you do intend to rebuild the eastern continent in a real way, it is clear that Fujita should crush the four houses, as he says.

But I couldn't tell Shino the real reason. Fujita knew that, and she sighed.

"Ora has a step-in-law and trusts Purity's husband. Ever hear of what Puritan's husband is ultimately thinking?

"... no"

"You may be expected, but you are not trusted. No, Purity's husband really wants to trust you. There's one reason you're not trusted, because you don't trust anyone. Do you have any friends you can trust?

"Absolutely."

Poetry responded instantly, but Fujita was shaking his neck beside him.

"Are you sure...? Well, Ora's not interested in your goal either. I'm not going to get in trouble with you because I'm gonna do my job right.

One thing I know is, you're not going to live a life of treachery. You should think hard about who you really trust and who you should trust. Did I give you some advice?

- I'll give you some advice.

Shino thanked him deeply, but even then Fujita didn't trust him, and he looked at the trick with a slight frigid odor.

And I accidentally said as I looked up at the moon in the night sky.

"Bradymaria's story. Then they say there was once only one moon in the sky"

"What? So you think you've grown from somewhere?

"I don't know. They say it's an anecdote old enough to be conveyed as a gaga tale among demons. Once upon a time, there were three very close goddesses, but when my sister's goddesses died, my sister's goddess, who pitied her death, turned them into the moon, so that they could float in the sky so that everyone could see them.

But the demons who tell it are dead. Then, in the end, nobody remembers the goddess. "

"... what are you trying to say?

"It means that no matter how much you accomplish, it doesn't make sense if all the people who tell it are dead. Then why don't you and I live to the fullest without regret?

That's all I have to say, Fujita left the scene. Was it just time for a change, Monkey Maru comes up to the replacement rooftop?

Towards the monkey circle, Poetry asked him what he had in mind.

"Hey, Monkey Maru"

"Ha"

"Which is the blue moon or the white moon that the goddess turned, right?

"What?"

Monkey Maru didn't know the meaning of the inquiry, but Shino didn't even care about Monkey Maru's mood. Fujita's earlier advice honestly didn't grasp the meaning, but he thought about it with two moons in his eyes because he felt something important had been said.
