Chapter Eighty-Nine: Murder and Scapegoat, Sacred Tree Worship
In the real world, as Scarlet River Left Hayabusa conquered the world, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inside the rattan cocoon.
After that, the mechanism of "Infinite Moon Reading" is activated, and Sayabusa Shibakawa, who is in the dream world, will experience such a cycle again. And his own memories will also be reset.
That's right! The essence of infinite monthly reading is to make people constantly experience the beauty of falsehood and truth. Because this beauty is the most desired thing in the hearts of human beings, therefore, the existence of the pupil technique, there is almost no possibility of breaking the pupil technique.
Here, after containing all the rebels of more than 20,000 people in the Divine Tree Body, Kaguya traveled to the realm of the other country. Although the rebellion of the monarch has been overturned, Kaguya still needs to appoint a new monarch to run the other country.
At this time, it was time for Kaguya to deal with the affairs of the other country. Far away in the ancestral country, a small thing happened.
"Poof!" A man in his thirties and forties knelt down in front of a young girl, and around the man, were three underage boys.
"Haori! Father knelt down and begged you! Help me! The man shouted at the girl with tears and snot.
"Father...... Father! What are you doing!? Startled by her father's movements, the girl was ready to help him up.
"I ...... I killed someone......" Looking at his daughter's surprised look, the man told the cause and the result.
In this era, the ancestral country, which is the base camp of Kaguya, has a very high welfare for the people of the ancestral country.
As Hamura said, the country is protected by the power of his mother and brother.
At the same time, because of the explosion of productivity brought about by technological innovation. The people of this country have never worried that their families will starve to death.
So, there will be no starvation and no disease, this is the general situation in this country.
Among them, the man's family has a daughter and three sons, a total of six people. In general, the man and his wife raised four children by farming. But, even so, the family is getting richer and richer.
Food and lust are the most fundamental pursuits of human beings.
When you don't have enough to eat, food is more important than lust, and people are looking for survival. However, when it comes time to eat well and eat well, people are looking for more than that.
The essence of lust is the reproduction of life, which is as important as being alive.
However, as a higher life, human beings pursue much more than these, and human beings will create civilization because of some bad ideas.
Of course, this civilization may not be accepted by everyone.
It came to pass that the man's wife cheated on him, and the man killed his wife as well as the adulterer.
Originally, there was no crime of adultery in the ancestral country. After all, everything is precarious, and who cares about chastity.
However, what was not originally there, because of the rich life, there is such a vague concept in the hearts of men. However, the man's wife did not.
Thus, tragedy was born.
In the land of the ancestors...... No! It should be said that in the whole world, Kaguya's iron laws are inviolable. Murder is one of the ten evils. The sins of a murderer must be washed away by offering to the sacred tree.
However, more than 20 years have passed, and after more than 20 years of worship, it is known that the people who went to worship the sacred tree never returned.
I don't know life or death, and people think of it as death. Therefore, worshipping the sacred tree, in their eyes, is a death sentence.
Now, after killing the adulterer and his wife, the man will also pay with his own life.
"Haori, help me!" Now, the man kowtowed to his daughter.
"I ...... How can I help you?! Muttering, Haori shed wordless tears because of the tragedy of his father killing his mother. On the side, the three young boys did not know what was happening.
"Help me take my guilt!" The man stated his purpose, and he said, "Haori, I've got all the relationships outside. Now, as long as you admit it, you killed people......"
"How do I recognize it! Worship the sacred tree, but never come back...... "Protecting one's own life is a normal reaction of a normal person."
"Haori, this family can't live without mine." The man said, pointing his finger at his three sons.
"Look at your brothers, they don't understand anything yet. If I go and worship the sacred tree, they will all starve to death. ”
"I ...... I can ask them for help! In a panic, Haori remembered the enthusiastic Hari.
"Heh~" shook his head contemptuously, and the man shouted loudly: "The ancestral country is the ancestral country of Kasayahime!" Hagoromo and Hamura are not omnipotent. I've never heard of someone who doesn't need to be punished for sin!! ”
At this point, it seemed that the man's roar was too loud, and Haori's three younger brothers all began to cry.
"I ......" Looking at the crying brother and the desperate father, Haori's eyes darkened, and finally responded.
Three days later, Haori joined the team to worship the sacred tree for the sake of murder.
Here, observing the work of the peasants, Feather's mind could not help but recall the words of the foot trader.
"Brother! Brother! After calling several times, the approaching Hamura recalled Hagomo's thoughts.
"Ahh It's all right! Yu Yi said in a slight panic.
"What? Still thinking about that toad? Looking at the appearance of the feather coat, Hamura asked curiously.
"Nope! That's not ......" Feather Cloak told the truth, he really wasn't thinking about the toad.
Then, just as Feather was about to say something, he was standing on a high place and saw a familiar figure below.
"That's the ritual offering of the sacred tree!" Hamura said lightly. Because it wasn't the first time, he wasn't surprised.
"No, it won't!" Looking at it, the familiar back made Yu Yi think of something. Without further ado, the feather coat rushed straight down.
"Brother!"
"Haori!" Feather cried out to the young and beautiful girl.
"Feather Coat...... Hamura ......" Haori greeted lightly.
"You're ......"
"I received a notice that it's time to worship the sacred tree." The girl's gaze was soft and calm, as if she had seen through life and death.
"No way, this is a rule that Kaguya-sama set a long time ago." Speaking of which, as if remembering something, the girl took off her red magatama necklace.
"It's not been a long time, but I'm glad to get to know you." After giving the necklace to the feather coat, Haori left the place without hesitation.
After that, on the side of Haromo Hamura, they looked at Haori's back, and they didn't continue to say anything after all.
Kaguya's rules don't just bind the world. Even if they are Kaguya's sons, they must surrender to Kaguya's coercion.
