As soon as I heard from Naka-san, I visited Touji with my father, mother and brother.

Dear Shunlai! Dear thistle! "

As soon as Sena saw our faces, she rushed in.

"I heard you fell... How are you?

"Honestly... it's not Fang..."

Senna's face is fairly dark.

Though I thought Touji would be able to live with me forever, all of a sudden... imagining Sena's heart makes my chest hurt.

"Okay. I'll ask the doctor about the rest. Sakura, stay with Sena.

"Yes, Father.

Sena couldn't behave as bright as usual, and she was desperately squeezing her trembling hand.

Even holding her shoulders, Sena's tremors didn't stop and her eyes were closed to pray.

Bang!

Senna!

At that time, it was Gonzo who appeared rough after seeing it for a long time.

I don't remember when I last saw him. Gonzo, who I saw for a long time, had a very different impression from the first time I saw him, and he was powerful and he was playing hard.

After seeing Senna and me, Gonzo gets a little stuck in words.

"Gonzo..."

Touji...

"... Gonzo..."

After seeing Senna, who was about to cry, Gonzo bit her lips and went into the back of Toudi-sama's place.

"Senna..."

"Ugh... sakura..."

For Senna, Touji is only one relative.

I don't think I can help but be scared. Unable to see Touji-sama.

"Sena... Shall we go to Touji?

…………

Sena also wants to go to Touji's place. I have to go. Even if I knew that, I couldn't get up without putting my weight on my hips.

Soon, Gonzo will return after seeing his condition.

"... Sena. Come, or you'll regret it.

"But...."

"Master Gonzo... Senna has power on her feet..."

It may not be what Sena wanted to say, but I told her. Because I thought it was my role and that of Gonzo to take Touji-sama by force.

"Sakura, I'm taking you, open the entrance.

"Yes, I understand!

As I left Senna, Gonzo approached her, arms under her arms and behind her knees, and lifted her up. Carry Senna with her arms to Touji-sama.

I hurriedly opened the hatch and turned the two of them backwards.

When I came here, I saw Touji for the first time. And... I'm stunned.

Touji-sama, who was supposed to be healthy and strong, was nowhere to be found, her whole body was thin, and her skin was dry and dry.

It was a disease called drowning disease, and the moisture in the body gradually disappeared. The moisture disappears due to constant sweating and excretion, but it seems that the moisture disappears at an unusual rate that cannot be explained alone.

In addition to sweating and excretion, doctors thought something was taking away moisture, but what it was… and how it could be removed… it was a difficult disease to know.

Depending on the person, he said that he was a god, a curse, a monster like that.

Regardless of the cause, no cure was found and there was no other way to deal with it but to give her a drink of water.

Since it is not a disease that transfers to people, we were able to get permission from the doctor to come to Touji's side, but...

Doctors say that people are mostly made of moisture, and no matter how tough they are, losing most of their moisture will cause their whole body to atrophy and die...

Even though it looked as big as that... my eyes fell into pockets, my cheeks were thin, my lips were cracked, but there was no bleeding, and wrinkles (wrinkles) appeared on my whole skin.

I had known for a few days that my physical condition was abnormal, but today, I suddenly felt weak and collapsed.

When this disease falls down, it progresses all at once... to death.

I don't know why I got this disease, and I don't know what to do with my father or mother. My father ate his teeth, firmly squeezed his fists, and my mother wept.

"Hah... hah..."

A weak breath that was about to stop sounded in the quiet room, and when she saw it, Senna quietly meditated her eyes, firmly clasped Gonzo's neck, and buried her face in her chest.

"... Sena. Don't run away. You'll never regret it. Painful or painful, don't run away.

"............ yeah......"

Sena replied with a trembling voice, opening her eyes wet with tears, getting off Gonzo's arm and sitting next to Touji.

"... Father..."

Sena slowly takes Touji-sama's hand and calls Touji-sama.

"Hah... hah..."

However, Toudi-sama only breathes weakly and does not react.

"The doctor said that she was already unconscious... that it was strange that she was alive..."

That's what my father tells me.

"Father... Father..."

Senna firmly gripped Touji's hand to convey her thoughts.

All I could do was keep stroking Senna's back.

When that happens.

"Ugh...."

Pickle and Touji-sama's hand grabbed Sena's hand back.

"Father!!

Touji-sama's depressed eyes opened, and his gaze drifted into the universe, heading towards Senna, who held his hand.

"... Sena..."

"Father!! We're here! Senna's here!

As I heard later, there was nothing but a miracle that Touji was able to regain consciousness and speak.

"Hah... hah... I see... am I going to die..."

I remember how clearly I heard the word "interrupted".

"Touji."

"Shunlai... azami-san... you're here..."

"Of course! There's no way you're not coming!

"That's right!

"I'm so happy..."

"Kh...."

"Four demons... there are things I can't do... your mouth habit... don't get sick..."

"Sorry... sorry..."

My father repeatedly apologized that his power was of no use.

"Siden..."

Yes!

"My father, my mother... and Sakura... help me well... be stronger than anyone..."

Yes!

My brother replied loudly, but from his eyes, a large tear fell on his lap and seemed to soak into the fabric.

"Sakura..."

Touji looks at my face and calls my name.

Yes...

"It's getting stronger..."

"... yes..."

In one word, the tears that had stopped the weir were overflowing.

"From now on... stay with Sena... as a friend..."

"... yes... yes... I'm a best friend..."

Now, Touji should be in agony that we can't imagine... and yet he's worried about us and calling out, not about himself.

I wonder if there's more love than that...

"Gonzo..."

"Yes."

Gonzo did not show tears, and stared straight at Touji's eyes with perseverance.

"Senna... is going to... be in trouble..."

"Yes."

"Help me... to the best of your ability..."

"Yes, absolutely.

Gonzo nodded loudly.

"Father..."

Finally, Touji looked at Senna's face again.

"Senna..."

"... yes..."

"I've only been with my father forever... and I've made you feel lonely..."

"That's not true! That's not true! My father's daughter makes me happy! I never thought I'd miss you!

"... I'm... a brain blacksmith... who might have been a bad father..."

"That's not true... that's not true..."

"Senna... hit me alone... with a sword..."

"... yeah..."

At this time, Sena was able to knife herself, and she was knocking on several pieces.

I just heard the other day that my father told me that it wasn't enough.

"Still... but... it looks like my knife... well..."

That's how tears fall from the edge of Touji's eyes...

"Haha... even though my body's moisture is gone... I can't believe I'm crying..."

"Father!! Father!!

"Sena... from now on... I'm going to be alone... but I'm going to be happy..."

"I will! I'll be damned! So... so don't go... scold me all the time..."

I don't think Sena can see in front of her anymore with tears.

"I love you... I've never said that before...

I love Senna... more than anyone in the world... than anything else... "

"Father! Wow!"

Sena cried, pressing her face against Touji's chest.

"Ah... I saw Sena's... bride costume... oh..."

"Don't go! Touji, don't go!

"Mr. Touji!!

"Father!!!

As strong as that, the light disappears from Touji's eyes, which were more successful than anyone else.

"Wow!

A cry close to Sena's scream followed for a while, and we were together, and we thought that voice would make our hearts go away.

Even though it is artisanal and luxurious, I still have a warm feeling in my chest so that I can discuss it with my father, who is a Shiki. Above all, behavior is built on kindness, not words. That's what he was.

I'm afraid you couldn't tell Sena, but Touji often told me...

"Thank you for playing with Sena.

"I'm a man, so I'm glad Sakura's here.

"Senna is restless..."

What a speech you gave me.

I'm sure that I wanted to get along with Sena more, but I also had a position as a swordsman, so I don't think I could use it very well.

However, I'm sure Senna knew that for a long time.

Every time something happened, Touji bragged and smiled with his teeth.

I really... I just regretted that I couldn't really do anything.

And this was the end of Touji-sama, a swordsman who was called the highest peak on the island.

This was later heard from my father.

Mr. Gonzo didn't seem to have much to do with Mr. Touji, but he didn't.

The biggest problem in getting out of our house and leading the people down to work was that there was no place for them to give it to me.

I want to leave the work to the civilians, not the lower people, even if it's a little high.

I think that was the truth on the part of the person entrusted with the work.

However, it seems that Touji was the one who helped me more than anyone at that time.

He visited his father and went to lower his head to Genjiro, who was in charge of the Eastern District. He used the name of the supreme swordsman to do all kinds of work.

Father said, "When Father decided to take over Gonzo, it seems that Touji regretted disagreeing with him even a little...

Of course, it was Gonzo and the people below who asked me for a job, showed me the results, and made me think that I could use it again, but afterwards, Touji seemed to have taken care of Gonzo somehow.

When I heard that, I couldn't help wondering how big Touji was...

Gonzo was unconscious at that time, but... even if Touji remembered that he was against it, everyone knew that he would not resent it.

Nobody blamed me, nobody cursed me. However, I don't think Touji himself could forgive himself.

He thought so much about the children of the unknown people.

It's a swordsman or a man... that's not what I'm talking about.

As a human being, Touji was at a high place.

To put it in writing, Though he may be the supreme swordsman, he is a civilian.

But at this time, for this island, yeah. For a demon tribe, I think I've lost so much fatality... I thought so.

The event that proved it came at once.

When Touji's funeral took place.

Hearing the news of Touji's death, old and young men and women, demons, civilians, and the people below. From both the north and the east, the south and the west, and from outside the city, all came to mourn Touji.

I don't know how many people approached me.

The number of sena who had just lost her father was just as impressive.

When the people who visited the funeral saw Sena's face, they all lowered their heads deeply, no matter how strong the man was, no matter how luxurious the costume they were wearing.

"I was saved by Touji. Without Mr Touji, it would be bad and the head would have started by now.

"I would have killed myself if Touji hadn't been here. It was the only glowing light in the world.

Everyone was stuck in this world because Touji was there. You said that to me.

And at the end of the day, everyone said to Sena:

"If anything happens, come to me. I'll definitely manage.

"Live strong. If anything happens, I'll take care of it.

Everyone seemed to know about Touji's daughter, and each of them took Sena's hand and wept.

"I knew it... my father... can't do it... it's so amazing..."

Sena wept again with joy and sadness.

Before Sena was born, Touji seemed to have a personality she couldn't leave behind when she saw someone in need, and she didn't think about her own loss and helped various people.

If my father hadn't told me that he would have taken Gonzo, Touji would have taken him.

Indeed, he was called the finest swordsman, but he didn't have such a luxurious life. Yeah, well, I think it was a modest way of living among the civilian population.

Behind it, I didn't even know this had happened.

Help others in red until you shave yourself. How many people in this world can really do that?

There are countless people who kick others to their advantage.

Around the end of such a funeral.

Gonzo, who had left the scene once, returned dressed in mourning clothes.

There are dozens of skinny people behind Gonzo. Everyone was wearing mourning clothes that could be seen at first glance when they were just bought.

Probably. I think they're all the people down there.

If this number gets in the way, is this the time when people start to go home... or are you worried about being a lower people...

Gonzo calls out to the people behind him, doesn't go inside, and comes in alone.

"Gonzo..."

"Sena, I'm sorry I'm late.

Hmm...

"... everyone here. With Mr. Touji's help, they were the people who were saved.

Yeah.

"They know they're low-status people.

And if Sena doesn't like it, she says she can go home like this.

The lower people came to the funeral… the fact is inconvenient. Gonzo and the people behind him were aware of that.

"That's... that's my father's daughter, you think we'll say that?

"Senna..."

"I'm begging you. Remember your father. I'm sure my father would be more pleased.

"... thank you.

When I said that, I saw the face of Gonzo who turned around, and Zorosolo and the people below came in.

When one person and one person went to the front of Touji, tears appeared in his eyes, and a word of gratitude was uttered.

The appearance seemed no different from that of the civilians and the demons.

What's different from us, what's different… I didn't know.

And nothing else created that sight, Touji.

I noticed it for the first time.

This is the best future for the island, and the most important person to continue to that future was Touji.

That's why I felt like I had lost someone who was fatal to the demons.

However, Touji-sama will not come back after how much you regret.

Besides, there's Senna who inherited it. I'm sure it'll be fine.

The funeral thus closed the curtain.

Then, Sena, who had succeeded the shop, confronted the sword with confusion from that day on.

I became a little worried and gained a lot of experience.

Even though so many people spoke to Sena, Sena never cried to them, and steadily spread the name around with her own strength.

Sena is an unusual woman for a forger, and I know how difficult it is for an amateur to make a name for herself as a swordsman.

That's why I understood that I needed to be immersed.

Even if that was the way to deceive Touji-sama's grief, sadly, Senna's arm, which inherited Touji-sama's abilities, improved sharply.

At that time, Gonzo was managing the work for the people left behind by Touji.

Gonzo didn't seem particularly unusual afterwards. He contracted work in various places regardless of the district and handed it over to the lower people.

The lower people were very much in love with me, but as the days went by, the impression of the devil's best friend grew stronger.

Perhaps because of this, Gonzo's chances of getting into trouble increased, and people in the city were recognizing him as a person who didn't want to get involved very much.

In fact, the people who were involved with Gonzo did not believe in strange rumors about their believable behavior, but because there were an overwhelming number of people who had never been involved, they had extreme duality.

Perhaps... I think that Gonzo was aiming for a world where everyone would be saved, not just himself. Rather than wanting to change the world clearly..., I think it was vague and not good as it is...

But he was a lowlife, and there weren't many ways to do it. That's why I don't think I did everything I could right now...
