Episode 290 Swear Corner

After Yura was tortured by Sena, we headed for the city shed.

There seems to be a line of shops on the main street that Sena often goes to, and when she went to that street, there were certainly many shops lined up.However, half of the shops were closed because the city was in this state and there were few shops that could be opened.

"It's only about half open, but it'll be fun enough.

I heard Sinya and Nil are going back to the mainland soon, and before that, I want you to make lots of fun memories on this island. "

"Today's gathering is Ricka's welcome and Nil's farewell."

Senna, Yura, Sakura-sama smiled and said that.

I didn't think you were thinking such a thing, and I was shocked.

I never imagined that I would have a friend and come this far when I was walking through a slave trade.

"Alright, let's finish off with a fun tour of the city and make it memorable!"

Senna stretches out one arm.

I'm really glad you came to this island.

There was a sad incident or a lot of dead people, but I think I got something I couldn't replace.

Yes!

Then, until the sky was almost dyed red, we all went around the store and enjoyed ourselves.

It was amazing to me that the five of us had fun.When I was with your husband, I had a different pleasure, and I forgot the time and laughed at each other.

And when the color of the sky began to change.

"Hah! It was fun!"

"It's too much fun and a shame."

"Don't miss me, Sakurah!"

"When the five of us get together like this, they may not come for the time being, but they will come again."

"I promise, Nil!"

Four people, including Ricca, smile like they're hiding their loneliness.Ricca was a little better at laughing today, too.

"I will definitely come again. To keep that promise… but to all of you."

I take out a small wooden cherry blossom tied to a string.

Sometimes I think of people walking with different wooden carvings, such as a kimono belt or something that can be worn on something.

I bought them in private because there were just five of them.

Pretty!

"Ah, isn't it too cute for you?"

"Yura is also cute, so it suits you well."

"It's as cute as Niru..."

"I don't think so.A maiden in love! "

Yea! Senor!

"Nil, thank you. I'll take care of it."

"Take care of Ricca, too."

"Fufufu, yes! We'll see each other again!"

Thus, we were disbanded, and returned to our respective places.

Senna said she would return to her workshop after delivering Sakura-sama, so I decided to send Senna to the workshop after delivering Sakura-sama once.

Though reconstruction is in a hurry, in a situation that is not yet restored, people's hearts are also in a state of desolation.When that happens, you start doing things that you don't normally do.

Sena can say she can protect herself, she is a woman, and if she is surrounded by a man, her feet may be scared.Even if Yura and Ricka were surrounded by a few people, it would be easy enough to fight back, but it would be difficult for Sena.

It's a city situation that might end up like that, and there's something I wanted to give to Sena.

"It's really okay to be alone."

When Sena said I would deliver it, she tried to say no because it was bad, but I was forced to arrive.

Looking up at the bright red sky, she walked side-by-side with Senna.

"Senna is cute, so it's not safe."

"... thank you."

"No, I'm the one thanking you."

Nil? Why?

"I told you that on the continent it's called slavery, right?"

Yeah.

"I think Senna would know what kind of life I've been leading if she knew Gonzo."

"... I can't really understand you just knowing..."

Sena lays down her face as if it were a bad thing, but I slowly shake my neck.

"No, I don't want you to understand.Ning, it's impossible for Sena to understand that. "

A person who can truly understand the life is a person who has experienced the life.I don't want Sena to know about such a dark and bitter life.

…………

"I'm grateful that you called me a friend and gave me a lot of nice time.Not as a slave, but as a person. "

"Isn't that obvious?"

"No, it's not natural.On the continent, slavery is nothing but slavery.

Some of them are friendly and have nothing to do with it, but really a handful... no. It's a pick.

I can't help but lose consciousness of slavery. "

"... just like Gonzo..."

"Yes, it's similar.But slavery on the continent is worse.

This shackle is designed to kill our slaves if they disobey orders to harm or not to harm their contracted masters. "

"I just heard a little bit from Sinya-san... that people are like tools... suck!"

"But that's obvious on the continent.

And fortunately, I don't, but normally, slaves have a badge. "

"Baked?"

"Yes, once you fall into slavery, the baked mark is burned on your forehead and you will never be able to return."

"That's not true..."

"That's slavery.That's... me. "

"Nil is... Nil!"

"Fufufu. Yes, I knew Sena would say that.

I think Sena is a unique friend who looks at me as a friend and treats me as a person. "

"Nil....."

"Besides, when you climbed the needle ice peak, Sena put her hand on my shackles, didn't she?"

"It's dangerous when it's cold..."

"Yes, but on the continent, I slept outside under the cold winter sky."

……………

"Don't look so sad.It's over.

And now, thanks to Senna, even under the cold sky. "

Sena holds my hand silently.

Senna's body temperature is transmitted through her hands.

"It's the first time I've ever thought about shackles and managed to do something about them.On top of that, Sena blamed herself for wishing she could take off her shackles.

I was really happy. "

Niru!

Sena jumps at me and hugs me.

"I really love that about Sena."

"We love Nil too! I love it!"

"Thank you, so… I would like Sena to take this as a token of my appreciation."

I slowly release Sena, who will hold me, and take out what I will give her.

"This is... ah! Swear horn!"

"Yes."

The oath your husband took from Gonzo and Shiki.The story of two men who took the oath of Kadori.That story gave rise to a different custom.

That is what is called the Corner of Swear.

A man who cut off horns for his friends, and a man who cut off his horns to show his gratitude.

The man who cut off his horns in order to gain credibility gave them to his superiors, but after finding the true culprit, he was returned with an apology.

Just because it was returned, I can't install it again, but I don't think the superiors had the option of not returning it.

The man was satisfied that his friend's life had been saved, so he tried to throw it away, but after his friend cut off the horn, he replaced it...

This is more like a story of belief than a story of the past.

However, from this story, when expressing gratitude to friends and vowing to reunite, the custom of handing over fine artefacts imitating the horns of the demons was born.

It's not a heterosexual thing, it's a gift to a same-sex person, and it seems to be a gift to a really good friend.However, it was a custom that had been abandoned a long time ago, and now some people don't know the story.

I asked Sakura-sama why I knew such a thing.

After your husband received the righteousness of cornering, Sakura-sama told me and Sena that there was such a custom in the past...

At that time, I decided to give this to you.

I asked my husband to make it myself from the mold.

The size was about the tip of the thumb and it wasn't particularly difficult to make.

"Sakura taught me this... at home?"

"Yes, I can't do as well as Senna or Master, but I'm embarrassed and ugly..."

A fine workmanship that mimics the corners that roll in your hand rolls down.

Nil made it?!

"Ha, yes..."

"Glad to hear it! Niu! I love it!"

Wow?!

I didn't expect to be hugged before receiving it, so I was surprised.

"Would you like to take it?"

"Of course! I'll take care of it!"

"Fufufu, thank you."

"I mean... if you look closely, this is made of gold!!"

Though I've thought of a lot of materials… it's gold when it comes to metals that are suitable for craftsmanship and are delighted as gifts!And my husband taught me and used the money.

What, you didn't make it?

"Not at all... it's expensive, so I'm surprised."

"I heard it's suitable for fine workmanship..."

"Well, surely gold is an easy metal to handle, but... no.I can't believe we're talking about materials until this time. "

"Fufufu, that's Senna."

"No! We have to think about time and time!

Nil! Thank you! We'll see you again! "

"Yes! Definitely!"

I attached a string to Sena and gave it to her as a necklace, so she hung it on her neck immediately.

The vow corners are two and one, so I put my share through the necklace string my husband hung.

Master and I got a lot of stuff on this island.

When it's all over, I want to come to this island again.Yeah, I'll definitely come.

Sena was escorted to the workshop, and I returned to Lord Siden's mansion.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

The day after Nil came home, enjoying the day and seeping a little loneliness in his face, we were called by Amachi and carried to the castle.

"Thank you for coming, Sinya."

Next to Amachi are Genjiro and Ranka.

Both of them still have painful wounds, but have they improved considerably? I sat down and waited beside them.

"Oh, the last meeting..."

"If I'm allowed to, I'd like to pull out Cynthia and keep it on this island forever, but if I do, the people of the continent will be in trouble."

"I didn't think you'd get that much credit."

"The more I hear from everyone, the more I feel that I couldn't finish this without the contributions of Sinya, Nil, and Rato."

"I don't think that's an exaggeration… but isn't that what we're talking about right now?"

"That's right, let's get started.Genjiro, Ranka, give me a detailed description. "

Ha.

The two Amachi told me to come back to us and start explaining.

"First of all, I will explain the current situation to you."

Now, I wanted to say that there is no need to be so afraid... but this is a diplomatic arena, and I think we need to have quite an attitude.

"Currently, about 40% of the city's buildings are being rebuilt."

"So few? It seemed like it was going a lot further..."

"The major parts of the city are quite advanced, but the rest are almost untouched.Looking at the whole city, about 40%.Still, it's pretty early. "

"Let's see..."

When I was in Japan, it took a long time for the city that had been destroyed by the Great Earthquake to recover.Compared to that, the current figure of 40% is astonishing.

"Currently it is about 40%, but I see that the priority given to restoring the castle has been affected.However, since it ended the other day, I think the recovery speed will increase even more from here.Complete recovery is not a distant future. "

"As long as everyone in the city moves and we're grateful.Compared to disasters such as earthquakes, not overall damage, but localized damage is probably the cause of faster recovery. "

Genjiro was right. No matter how many Genjiro calls, recovery will not proceed late unless the people of the city move.

It would be great if they moved voluntarily below the civilian population.

"Next, with regard to strength... with the remaining strength, 60% of the total can be released immediately..."

"More than I thought."

"Most of the troops were outside the city during the disturbances, so there was no damage."

If you think about it a little bit, you'll know that not all the troops are supposed to be in the city.

No matter how many Demon Squads there are, it's just a matter of looking at the number of people participating in the fight.If all the soldiers gather, they will be crushed in an instant.

That's why Galak started a riot from the inside and needed to take out the demon emperor at once before he could leak out and gather his troops.If it weren't for the Denko Stone Fire operation, it would have ended up surrounded.

"But this is only the story of when you externalized everything and sent out soldiers.

There are a lot of people who have recovered and lost relatives, so morale is as low as ever, and if we move everything, we can't guarantee what will happen to the city. "

"How long will it take to move the city without causing damage?"

"... 20 and a half percent of the total. Did I just say that?It's a critical mass, so keep it safe… and 20% will be the limit. "

"20%...?

Then how long will it take to stabilize the city? "

"It's an estimate, but it's about two months."

"What if the number of soldiers you can send out in a month?"

"About 30%."

The exchange between Amachi and Ranka continues, so you can get a sense of the current situation on the island.

There's no need to worry about recovery, but when it comes to strength, it's a different story.

There will be people outside the city who were connected to the wrongdoers, and including that, they will be calculating this time and number.

It seems that your problem is much deeper than you think.

"That's what I'm talking about.

Sinya. A month later, 30% of the island's strength.This is all my strength.

Forgive me for what I can only do, while I promise you that I will spare no effort. "

"If you promise to help me, forgive me or anything, I'll live forever.

I don't know how long before a full-scale war begins, but I'll count on you then. Thank you. "

"Very well, I promise I will send reinforcements.

And... "

When Amachi sees Ranka, she gets up, comes to me, and places a piece of paper.

"It is a letter in my name stating that the demons will fully join hands with the forces of Sinya."

"Thank you."

I was able to obtain letters from the Ghost clan, the original purpose.It was worth passing through the huge dungeon of a hundred stories.

I accept the letter.

"Next, I think that some of the stories we heard when Sinja and the others came out of the continent, some of the kings on the continent promised us support... is that still the same?"

"That won't change. I keep my promise."

"At that time, I heard that because I left it to the people close to me, I showed difficulty, but now I would like to request it from you.

But... considering the possibility of exposing our hands to the Holy Knights, I think it would be better for us to cross as reinforcements to the Sinjas when we move to the continent. "

"Why didn't you join the Knights of the Holy Knights when you crossed the continent..."

So... before the demons cross the continent, it would be best to secure a base. "

"That's ideal… is that possible?"

"... I'll try to get a little acquainted.I don't think so. "

"That's right! It's superimposed! Now, I'm sending in a few people who are good at disguising themselves and are good at gathering information."

"Are you going to use these people as a starting point to consolidate the ground?"

"Oh, in addition to that, I've been talking about Kohar.It's going to work. "

"Then I guess we can handle it without us nearby."

"It's not good to have too much help from the Sinja people.We'll do it ourselves. "

"Okay, then we'll move for our original purpose."

"Please do.

With regard to future movements, since the consolidation of the ground is central, I would like you to think that as a demon tribe, you can hardly move.

If the time comes, the Holy Knights will reward us for our efforts on our island. "

"I understand very well. Then I will tell the kings to move with that intention."

"Oh, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, thank you."

"It's not that much of a hassle."

"... Sinya, thank you again on behalf of the demons.Thank you very much. "

"I received the gift as a gift, so I'm fine."

I was thanked enough for the ingredients, the ingredients, and almost everything I could get on this island.

There is no need to refuse, and since all the products of islands similar to Japan suit my skin, I did not hesitate to save them in the inventory.

"... then I'll send you out hopefully, unfortunately, another day.

Genjiro, Ranka. They must have been close to Sinya.You can drop him off. "

"Yes, thank you."
