Kidnapped Dragons

Maintenance didn't feel good. The light that opened his eyes, the melody of the piano that struck his ears, the scent of the flowers that touched his nose, the shitty sculpture, the painting that he wanted to burn, the floor, the ceiling, just everything in this whole space was going against his feelings.

Apart from that, his piano skills with Hasegawa were not bad. As far as art was concerned, it was a difficult song to listen to, and Hasegawa was making a precise sound. It was clear that human standards were great, and even superhuman skills were not lacking.

Nevertheless, playing was the worst. I couldn't help feeling this way while I was being polite. Just, I felt like a dick.

However, apart from his admiration, the members of the social gathering fell in love with the play and looked at Hasegawa.

Maintenance looked after them.

Even so, they deserved it.

The first song, La campanella, is ending. The same applause burst out as Ure. People clapped their hands as if they were genuinely touched.

Since then, several songs have also been followed. They were all autobiographies of Hasegawa.

It was a music that contained his filthy desires that could not be concealed by an established performance. Peeled off, the hidden dirty emotions were vividly conveyed along the song.

All the songs are ending.

Applause comes out again.

Until then, he remained silent.

Horrible tune. It's gross music. Plays with disturbing dirty emotions, even as a regent.

However, the condition of the spring seemed even worse.

His eyes lost focus. I could see my arms shaking.

“Hey.”

“ ……. ”

“It's over.”

“Oh, yes. ”

Spring grabbed the forearm of the retainer.

Then he vomited deeply.

That's how the meeting stops with the play.

Spring was thinking about something.

“Truly, my heart seemed to melt. ”

“I'm impressed, sir.... ”

People were surrounding Hasegawa and praising his performance. Hasegawa bowed his head to them, preaching the words of humility. Unlike when spring praised him, however, he seemed calm and had no joy.

“How, was my lack of play okay? ”

Hasegawa, who came to them, asked.

Spring has not regained consciousness yet, and this time, she sighs and nods.

“Well heard. ”

Then Hasegawa laughed.

“I'm glad..... will you come and listen to me tomorrow? ”

I don't care.

It'll be your last play.

Maintenance nods.

* * *

Hotel room reserved for VIP.

On two king-size beds there is an ancient duvet.

“Mister, there are some strange things. ”

Late night, with a river, where the nightlife of downtown Japan can be seen. Under the delicate light, I opened my mouth in a voice that spring was steaming.

“ ……. ”

“I didn't like the play. Hasegawa seemed to know how his performance sounded in other people's ears. ”

“ ……. ”

“There was no joy in celebrating. It was completely different from when I floated it. It wasn't a humble gesture, it was a gesture that compliments were so natural. ”

“ ……. ”

“And yet, people come here to listen to Hasegawa. I asked people, and some of them are years old. And once you come and hear it, you will be touched and come next time unconditionally..... ”

It was then. Maintenance stopped talking to him.

“Spring.”

“Yes?”

His voice was as quiet as usual. However, even my gaze was not as blurred as usual.

“Go back.”

“Yes...? ”

“I've thought about it again, but I don't think this place suits you. ”

Spring looked at him with calm eyes.

“I'm fine……. ”

“Don't sound like a horse. ”

“It's really okay. It's just, it's the first time I've heard such strange music. I'm a little surprised. ”

He asked. Why can't I follow him?

This time, it was my turn to keep the water.

“Why are you trying to follow me? ”

“I ― ”

“If you had read the providence, you would have known. ”

He hung up on Spring.

“Now that we've encountered it, we'll know better. This place is filthy and ugly. Not for a little guy like you. Why are you coming to such a filthy place to face the filth? Scared and fell.”

“ ……. ”

He's scared. If you are afraid, it becomes an element that pushes the end forward.

That wasn't sweet.

As always, a gaze that doesn't know what you're thinking.

Spring looks at him. Two springtime feet squirmed out of the bed. He bites his red lips.

“If I don't come..... ”

After hesitating, he opened his mouth.

“... How long will you be alone? ”

The regent could not understand the words of spring.

“I'm not alone, either. ”

“Yes……. ”

“Huh?”

“The rest, later. ”

“Hey.”

“You can scold me then. ”

As always, it's a dead end.

Hyeong-tae thought twice about tying this little one up and throwing him into the abyss.

He, once again, decided to focus on the ledger.

“…… for now, I understand. ”

“So can I keep talking? ”

“Yes.”

“After what I said. This is what I felt weird about. Besides us, everyone who was there was comfortable playing with Hasegawa. They were really moved, and we weren't. ”

“ ……. ”

“Maybe there's something that doesn't only work for us? I'm a dragon. ”

He was silent for a while and asked him.

“What if I find out? ”

“Yes?”

“What's changed. ”

“... It's not like Hasegawa, is it? ”

“Yes.”

“I decided to learn at Rare, and I heard that unlike the superhuman, Mine is the meter of the contract. If I sell my soul to the devil, there's a cause and consequence. ”

“Yes.”

“On the contrary, if you don't meet that objective until you become a Mine, then Mine is a Desertification." ”

“Do you see what you were hiding? ”

“Yes.”

“And that's the element of immortality with Hasegawa? ”

“I'm almost sure. ”

Spring nodded with a cheerful expression of confidence.

And just to make this easy,

1. There is something that Hasegawa hid.

2. That has something to do with his immortality.

3. Make him stubborn.

4. It means you have to reveal what is hidden.

“Why did you think that? ”

The important thing is always grounded.

“Because……. ”

…….

And the arguments that followed successfully convinced me of the maintenance of the spring.

“But the biggest problem is that Hasegawa doesn't know what he's hiding. This doesn't even look like providence. ”

The biggest problem.

What difference does it make between those who are touched by the play with Hasegawa and those who are not?

“If that's the case, I know. ”

At the end of the retention period, the spring's eyes widened.

* * *

The next day, the last night of the social gathering.

She picked up the spring and headed there.

Like yesterday, a splendid light, a warm atmosphere, and a fragrant inner sound tickled his nose.

People laughed and welcomed the spring. Some were uncomfortable, but some bowed their heads to the keeper.

He replied with a light snowflake. It was a blunt gesture.

Time passed quickly. Today is also the time to play with Hasegawa. Like yesterday, a middle-aged minded man who bowed his head to everyone, in a solemn atmosphere, sat in a piano chair.

“The first song, by Hasegawa, is the third movement of the former night. Please applaud.”

He began to play the music.

Heavy melodies create an unknown tension.

As you can see, unpleasantness has nothing to do with play.

The regent thought his play was dirty. I feel like walking, grabbing the player's hair, and knocking down the piano in half. It was like an impulse.

Following the commentary, I recalled the memory of one last time.

― How's my play?

It was a big cathedral that collapsed.

Hasegawa who played the piano. In a horrible play that seems to tear the tympanic membrane, when someone is in pain.

― You don't have ears to hear.

The last thing he said, he shoved a dagger into the audience's ear.

Truly, it's ridiculous.

The regent smiled faintly.

It was then.

Spring, reluctant to play disgusting, grabbed his forearm.

Yes, you don't have to listen more.

I like this garbage-like music.

“Spring. Here we go. ”

“Yes……. ”

“One last question. Are you gonna be okay?”

Spring nods with a stiff expression.

Then he straightened himself up from the chair where he leaned.

“ ……. ”

Spring prepared the mind.

That's when everyone was focused on the piano tune.

Hyeong-tae picked up a glass of wine and threw it on the floor.

Grandpa ―!

The shattered pieces of glass splash all over. Through the third movement of a noisy night, the sound of the glass breaking into everyone's ears was heard.

The player's hand stopped.

The starroom became strangely tranquil, as only his melodies were filled, when the melodies that filled the space disappeared.

At the same time, the atmosphere of the apartments is reversed.

An unimaginable change occurred.

He returned at the same time as the audience's head was cut off.

‘Ah..! ’

Spring held his fist.

The two of them had an operational meeting last night.

The biggest problem Spring poses, how some are touched by the play with Hasegawa.

In response, Maintenance said:

― There were no humans there.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable, he said.

And now. His words are beginning to prove.

The faces of those who looked back were strange.

Some are even bent back while ignoring the structure of the human body. In fact, there were also skin lacerations.

There were four hundred in the big open eyes. They had the same look on each other, male and female. That bizarre gaze was slightly staggered in the spring. Spring realizes they're only looking for a maintenance attitude.

What a disgusting landscape. Spring's power reaches into the hands of Keeping Clothes.

“ ……. ”

One last thing.

Hasegawa turned his head and looked at him with the same expression as the members of the social gathering.

The momentum was great. The baby dragon, who stood up in shock, had to feel his legs trembling.

However.

Likewise, even in a landscape that provokes fear of existence, the regent smiles bluntly as if he were familiar with it.

It seemed so natural to him.

“Yubom, if you can't see it, get out. ”

“I……. ”

“Chew-boo.”

He threw a joke, but the spring did not unravel his face.

Seeing people who stopped with a strange look.

More bizarre than that.

Spring recalled the times of the past.

― Yubom. Go back.

In the autumn audition hall, the voice that was so subtle about itself.

― Things you don't need to know. It's not good to be on your own. So come out, or I'll tie you up in a chair.

At dawn one day, his hand pushed away from him who was even pleading.

I didn't know it then.

No, I was mistaken to know.

He was the guardian of the dragons and was the head of the family, but always turned away with some distance.

Spring knew it because I looked at it as providence. To the extent that he's doing something behind his back.

But I didn't think that would be such a terrible place.

I didn't know.

“…… is this the world you live in? ”

The regressor replied slowly.

“Yes.”

“Mister..... ”

“Do you understand now that you're a little bit of a hitter? ”

Hasegawa stood up about that time.

At the same time, everyone there stood up.

“If you know, get out. ”

Just once. Spring can be a long way from here if you use a teleport. It was as simple as pressing a switch.

Nevertheless, the spring did not go out.

He's disobeying the maintenance he was told not to come. I wrote a pack asking him to take me.

― I want to know about you.

Spring wanted to know him.

I wanted to understand even a little bit the world he was looking at.

It was the same now. Spring wanted to stay out of the way. Even people who became so strange knew it was a shell. There's more dirty stuff in there than that. Spring did not have the courage to face such truth so easily.

Spring, however, did not want to turn away from the ‘real’ world in which Maintenance lives beyond that.

He shook his hand and grabbed the hand of the keeper.

The dragon receives emotions and memories of what is close.

Following the contact of the body, the memory and emotions of the retention began to come to mind in the spring.

The landscape of the annex began to turn into a water-based paint.

With hesitation, spring opened its eyes again.

Cheonqiang (SS)

Kyungtae distinguished the authenticity of this place.

Dirty appearance.

Rotting clothes.

There was not a single piece of flesh in the malatwisted head, and leather was worn along the shape of the bone.

They were the only ones who depended on the 'ear' as a human being.

This is the landscape that Mine Hasegawa desperately wanted to cover.

And the regent was also the landscape from the beginning.

In the first place, no human heard the terrible tune with Hasega.

It was just a puppet he had set up.

‘ ……. ’

Spring bites red lips.

This was the world created by Hasegawa.

At the same time, it was a world of maintenance.

Trying to make a normal life, to create the happiness of dragons.

The world of regurgitators, who had to walk the dark night of the Eudallah.

‘ ……. ’

It was spread out in front of the spring.
