Seirei no Moribito

It was the next morning that I was released from Iselia.

Lynn, who was suddenly forced to 'teleport' back to her room as well as to go, shrugged on her knees without much intense pain.

The leaking voice is not a groan in pain, or a cry because of its own impudence.

"... How dare you... Iselia... Huh!

Dark and deep everywhere, resentment of hatred. That voice was plundering because I kept screaming all night.

"... who... talk, what... take everything away from me...!!"

Even the “boy” had a family. I was sparingly loving and just having happy days without knowing one thing about the filth of the world.

It was the abominable Spirit Tree that broke them.

"Commissioner of the Wind Discipline," but there are also no shards of faith in the "Spirit Tree” in Lynn. It wasn't like that from the beginning, but there were times when I purely worshipped the "Spirit Tree”. I don't deny that you have any respect for Iselia.

But it was the undisputed Iselia herself who knocked the "boy” down to Naruto, including that.

It's not like she did anything. Ning Ro, I even think I would be much adored for just pawning. She was the one who created the “Eileen” so far, and at the same time she nurtured this emotion.

I just haven't noticed Iselia. That's all the facts.

Really, I just don't realize. That everything Iselia does is just touching his scales.

What Lynn told Iselia is never a lie.

Lynn is grateful. That you made him strong, that you didn't hesitate to kill people.

She gave me what Lynn wanted.

So Iselia is a benefactor to life for the "boy”. I appreciate that - but I'm not obsessed. It doesn't seem to be the case over there, but it has nothing to do with Lynn.

Iselia hates as much as she hates the "Spirit Tree”. Why should I tell her that?

I won't resist. It's not the opposite.

But there are things that he can't give away, either. This is probably what Iselia wanted to know.

In the end, Iselia laughed and said this at the end to Lynn, who did not utter any words other than screaming.

"Irene, don't forget, okay? Your secret… whatever means you use to reveal it. '

There was no shade in Iselia's expression, which I say with a smile of mercy.

And Lynn, who's been beside Iselia since "that time," can tell.

What happened tonight was one of those “means”.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have been smashed to the left shoulder with just "punishment." There was no reason for Iselia, who had fulfilled her word but did not vomit lies, to have broken the promise of 'a thousand and three hundred whips', so she found that it was one of the other means.

And the fact that I'm so obsessed with Lynn's hiding things by then.

After all, there's not one scratch left. Because Iselia healed them all with "healing techniques" before she made them "teleport," and even repaired them with carefully torn and bloody clothes. But the pain I was experiencing until just before didn't go either.

left shoulder and back, and right ankle. My neck doesn't feel that much pain, but I still can't wipe away the discomfort.

Lynn rises to a billionaire while enduring those sores that never show signs of healing.

The time now is 7 a.m.

In the next thirty minutes I have to leave the dorm and go have a "public talk” with the instructor.

But Lin's body was limited by the fact that she hadn't slept a single night and the pain continued to hit her so hard.

Usually, Iselia's minimal “cure" and then getting some sleep can be used to shaking like nothing happened, or not just today.

He was crushed many times after treating his left shoulder and continued to be whipped a thousand or three hundred times while counting the numbers incorrectly.

As much as I could scream, I was shot in the throat, and a few neck and right ankle moles were left deliberately to show off, but I continue to develop definite pain.

"... it's time, the limit..."

A purpose and the emotions that accompanied it that I kept hiding for fourteen years. I'm about to be exposed.

If the matter becomes public, Lynn will surely be banished from the Spirit Tree to the furthest point. If I'm unlucky, I might be disposed of on the spot.

That's all we absolutely have to avoid. If that happens, chances never come again.

Then what should we do?

While I know how to do that, Lynn intends to try not to take that method.

Deep down in my heart, I thought I shouldn't just take that way. So I've been desperate to think of another way.

(… Iselia should decide on the "Guardian of the Spirit Tree” at the next harvest festival, but don't wait until the harvest festival to make someone on "Founding Day" … No, make one of us the "Guardian")

One crack that exists nearest the "Spirit Tree”. “Witch of the Spirit Tree." Iselia.

Her words are only as powerful as those of the "Spirit Tree”. It has both power and strength, just incomparable with the "Spirit Tree Witch” of the northern Spirit Faith village.

A "witch" who circles wisdom and plot. The strongest “protector", “rainbow wing", who knows tactics and strength. The “protector" of the four color-winged "spiritual trees”, known as the “Four Apostles”, and the “protector" who is dozens of times more powerful than ordinary people. The “protector” or “protector” of the spiritual trees, known as the "Culture Commissioner”.

The Spirit Tree's subordination is mainly this. Among them, one of the "Wind Discipline Commissioners” or “Protectors” is chosen as the "Protector of the Spirit Tree” at the annual Harvest Festival. At the same time, it can be decided whether it is dedicated as a "tribute” or a human being. The "Harvest Festival” is an anniversary created solely to celebrate the value and results of what can be obtained by the Spirit Tree.

Only those in the hands of the Spirit Tree know that.

That's why we don't have time for this anymore.

Choosing the “Protector” for the anniversary of the founding of the country, not the harvest festival, also means that the "Spirit Tree” is being hunted down by something. So the Spirit Tree decides on the Protector to get a little more.

(I never thought that “Spirit Tree” would be cornered by the rest of them... is that my only miscalculation?)

Lynn calmly turns her mind around, even as she smiles at the pain.

(You must never be there for me to be chosen as the “Protector.” So you have to make them think they're capable of something other than me)

Or...

(… take someone's place)

That's the best thing to do.

"Eileen" 's strength is best understood by them who spent two years together. And that he's the best and most powerful of them all.

Where he lost to them like that, it soon became clear that he had deliberately lost his hand.

Then you can dedicate someone more competent than yourself instead.

("Harvest Festival" is a big name, the reality is just “public execution”. The chosen one is forced to fight. Besides, no one has ever beaten the Four Apostles. Not to mention, if "Red Lotus Wings” is the opponent, it's the one who gets killed)

“Guardian of the Spirit Tree".

Preserving the Spirit Tree beside the Spirit Tree and swallowing only the words of the Spirit Tree. Only the strongest of the "Protectors" are given the role of protecting the "Spirit Tree" as "Protectors of the Spirit Tree”.

And there are a total of four current "Spirit Tree Protectors”.

“Spiritualist" excelled in one of the “spiritual arts" of fire, water, earth, and wind. Especially the Flaming Man known as "Red Lotus Wings” boasts only comparable strength to "Rainbow Wings”.

But even if you ever see the other three, only "Red Lotus Wings” will never appear in public. Even if it comes out very rarely, it hides its face in the face of a fox so that it can never be seen.

I have no idea why I would do that, but there are hypotheses that can be deduced from this.

And when considered overall with Iselia's story,

(… "Red Lotus Wings” was probably one of the “tributes”)

Unlike the "protector” who maintained the Spirit's presence on the axis, a being who was formerly human.

That is,

(The grief that "Commissioner Kazaki” aspired to, the reincarnation of the “Protector" … "Red Lotus Wings” was regarded as a “tribute" from his superior talent, and then reincarnated into the "Protector" and ascended to the "Protector of the Spirit Tree" …)

If you guess so, you can also nod that "Red Lotus Wings” don't come out.

A bad situation exists when people know who the Red Lotus Wings are. That's not for the Red Lotus Wings, either, but for the Spirit Tree.

And to not have to be the "guardian of the Spirit Tree”, it is most effective to refer to this example of "Red Lotus Wings”.

(… "Red Lotus Wings". We'll start by exploring who they are)

"Wangdu Educator Gate". Sometimes the ancient literature sleeps like a mountain in a place where institutions and people are shunned.

Some of them should contain details of people who have been considered "contributions” in the past. As Eña and Eña were looking into it.

(... absolutely find out who “Red Lotus Wings” are and eliminate them. That would force the other four apostles to come out.)

That is an important step towards achieving his “purpose”.

(If there is a revolt in the "Spirit Tree," the "Knights of the King's Capital" will attack all the winning opportunities. That will sharpen more than half of them. Later, get rid of the nasty force -)

But I couldn't think ahead.

"... Huh...!

All of a sudden, he developed a fever so his back could burn.

"... Iselia, Mama, or...!

Specifically, as if something was about to pop out of the root of the scapula.

Immediately realizing who it was, Lynn opened the washroom door, albeit in pain and heat.

I stuck my finger in the back of my throat, and what came out was the color of bright red blood - something I was used to seeing.
