Teresa won't starve

After it was built, it was named 'Swallow Tail Cut' because it cut off the tail of the swallow that flew by in the rainy day with a wave of a knife.

After packing up her luggage, Teresa inquired about Beichen Mei's information all the way, followed the route that the other party had traveled, and finally arrived near the 'Shinano Country'.

That is where Teresa is now.

The memory just stopped here.

137 "No mercy to the weak"

"Shinano, this place seems to be quite close."

Teresa only remembered that there was a Yae Village in Shinano, but she didn't know exactly where it was in Shinano.

Although the land area of ​​the Far East is very limited, and most of the ancient countries only have the area of ​​a city now; but don't think that a city is small, if you want to visit every corner of a city by personal standards, you can't It is by no means an easy task.

『[Agree] It takes about half a month to go to Shinano country from here, and it is indeed very close. 』

"I have to walk for half a month, do you call this near?"

Originally, it was mentioned as 'nearby' in memory, but Teresa thought it would be just a few steps away.The result is actually very remote, at least on a transnational level for the average person.

"Then do you know where Shinano should go?"

Theresa didn't mention this matter in her memory, so she could only consult Fimilis.

But Femiris didn't know—

『[Helpless] This era has not yet reached the point where satellites can be manufactured, and I have no way of locating the general location of the captain. 』

"Then how do you know it will take half a month to get there?"

"[Thinking] Guess. 』

"..."

Is it so unreliable?

Teresa didn't expect AI to make such a joke.

Forget it, it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others.

Teresa decided to go to a nearby village and find someone to ask for directions.Look up and see that the sun is directly above, which means that it is already time for lunch.

Although it is not clear whether the ancient people in the far east ate lunch or not, those who do farm work during the noon period should have some rest.

She didn't want to go out into the fields and drag people out.

......

While thinking like this, Teresa entered a nearby village.

The first thing to see is the slightly lush crops growing.

Although the number is a little sparse, at least they are growing well, and it is almost the harvest season.

"Is it almost autumn?"

Although Teresa didn't know whether the Far East also followed the natural law of autumn sowing and autumn harvest, she could only speculate in this way. (This is the price of zero marks in the history class, so you have to study hard, you know)

It's just that there are no farmers in the farmland at this time, and even the agricultural equipment is casually discarded, and many of them have crushed the crops.

It looks like a sudden strike, or something urgent.

Going further in, you can gradually see the houses. Teresa walked to the door of one of the houses and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"

no respond.

Teresa went to knock on another door:

"Is it here, squeak!!"

She deliberately said it very bluntly, in order to scare the people inside.With the help of her extraordinary hearing, she can listen to the possible footsteps and breathing sounds inside.

However, it does not.

There is really no one here, not pretending that there is no one - Teresa confirmed this when she forced her way in.

"If you don't work hard and stay at home, where do people go?"

Theresa crossed her arms and stood there thinking about the reason, wondering if she was going to the market or something, but suddenly she smelled a strange smell of burning.

This smell, if you have to say it, is the smell of burning tree leaves in the community. (I believe many people have heard of it)

She raised her head and looked up at the sky as if feeling something, and what she saw was a somewhat cloudy blue sky—polluted by thick smoke floating from afar.

Is this the case...

Teresa jumped onto the not-so-high roof and looked in the direction of the thick smoke. What she saw was a mountain with a faint appearance of a fire burning.

Set fire to the mountain! ?

Why do you want to do this?is something happened?

"Fimilis, let's go take a look."

Rationally speaking, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she can even ignore it completely.

But since she met her, it's not in her character to let her go. (You are so kind)

......

In order to rush over as soon as possible, Teresa also rushed down the mountain in the shortest time at a speed that would not affect her.After arriving here, I can already smell the pungent smoke and an indescribable earthy smell.

And there were several unconscious villagers lying on the ground.

Teresa walked over to wake them up, but just turned around and found that their chests had been dyed red, and a strong smell of blood rushed straight to her face, making her feel dizzy.

"died!?"

Staring blankly at the villager who was dying, it took Teresa a while to get used to it.After closing the eyes of the dead villagers, Teresa went to turn over the other villagers as well.

As a result, no one survived.

"What is this doing? Massacring the village? Why are you doing this? It's no good!"

Teresa couldn't understand the thoughts of people who did such things.

Looking at the mountain road that was already stained red with blood, he decided to go to the mountain to see what was going on.

It's better to be told to meddle in one's own business than to go against one's own principles.

......

More and more, more and more.

The more Teresa went up, the more corpses she saw. In the end, she was too busy just to close her eyes, so she simply stopped doing such things and accelerated all the way up the mountain.

After crossing a torii-like red door frame, people can be vaguely seen moving around.

Teresa was about to say hello, but the other party said first: "There is still one alive!!"

"What, what is this called? Is this what people should say?"

Teresa was a little dazed after hearing this.

But the other party didn't, and even came to Teresa's vicinity while Teresa was in a daze, and said after seeing Teresa's appearance: "She's still a beauty!!"

He said so with his mouth, but he did almost the opposite with his hands. He even swung his knife and slashed at Teresa.

The tearing wind brought by the whirring knife cut entered Teresa's ears.

Go with the flow, adapt to the circumstances!

Faced with this sudden situation, Teresa first avoided the thoughts in her heart and then tried to communicate.

But the body didn't obey. First, he pulled out the knife with his right hand, cut off the opponent's wrist vertically, and then cut across the throat with a horizontal cut (cross cut).

After finishing these, the right hand rotated the long knife around the fingers to form a windmill, and wiped off all the blood on the knife, and then inserted it back into the scabbard neatly.

Even Teresa couldn't believe this series of skilled movements.

"how do I......"

Teresa raised her still white and flawless right hand, and looked at the person who was alive a second ago, but the latter was already lying down in front of her.

Although the little hands were still white and innocent, it made her feel disgusted after being stained with blood.

And it's the kind that can't be washed off.

"..."

Teresa clenched her slightly trembling right hand, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She didn't open her eyes again until her body gradually adapted to the change.

"I have, there is no way to go back to the past."

She knew that once she embarked on the path of Shura, she would never be able to return to her previous 'clean' self.

That being the case, then kill it.

Revenge for those who I think are kind and innocent!

138 "The Priestess Who Lived to the End"

In order to prove my awareness, in order to let myself let go of the last hesitation.

Unless the other party is a woman or a child, as long as Teresa sees people with weapons in their hands, they will be chopped down before the other party reacts as soon as they meet.

She didn't intentionally torture them by cutting off their limbs first, even if they were murderers who killed others.

This was Teresa's last mercy to them.

Kill, kill, kill!

All the way to the mountain, she killed herself so much that she couldn't remember how many people died in her hands.

She doesn't have to worry about being soft-handed, because her instinct will carry it out cruelly for her.

Just that way.

Blood was inevitably stained on her hair, face, clothes, and socks.Even if she deliberately avoided the splashing blood, there were always times when she was caught off guard.

No matter how fast she is, no one can escape her pursuit.However, the net woven by blood did not allow her to slip through it spotlessly.

Unless she interferes with teleportation at the space level.

"Fimilis, how many did I kill?"

Teresa stood on the mountain path that went up completely, and did not continue to walk up the mountain.

Even if she is not tired, at least she needs to rest mentally.

『[Sigh] Captain, is it meaningful to care about this? 』

Follow her all the way, always by her side.

Fimilis is very clear about how difficult it is for Teresa to take this step, and how hard it is for Teresa. Even though she looks calm now, there is an unhealable problem deep in her heart. cracks.

Even she couldn't calculate whether this trauma could be healed by time.

But what is the use even if it can be cured?

There is a change that cannot be reversed.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it."

According to the past, Teresa would never think so.

But it doesn't matter now.

Teresa raised her feet and was about to go up, but she felt something grabbed her trousers, as if she was hanging on a tree branch.

Just a little different.

Looking down, he found that it was a little white-haired fox that looked a little like Higokumaru.

With snow-white hair and a nearly round head, it looks like a little milk dog.

There is only a pinch of teardrop-shaped red hair between the eyebrows.

The little fox seemed to have a grudge against her. Seeing her look over, he also stared at her big round eyes, and bit her trousers ferociously.

Teresa watched it for a while, and found that it didn't intend to let go at all, so she had no choice but to put the knife back into the sheath, and held the little fox in her hand.

The little fox kicked his legs and wanted to jump, but failed; he wanted to turn his head and bite Teresa's finger, but failed again because he was too fat.
