So she really wanted to do it.
She wanted even more to transform into a dragon and go to Takama-ga-hara to swallow all those people who had sealed her.
“Hmm…
actually, that’s fine.”
Looking at Mitsuyuki, who thought for a moment before answering her like that, Oryou felt her head spinning again.
“…Fine?”
The corners of Oryou’s mouth twitched.
“Mitsuyuki, is your brain broken because you turned into a yokai?”
“Watch your mouth.”
“Then look at what kind of answer you gave me!” Oryou felt so tired…
in hundreds of years, she had never been this tired.
“I really don’t care.”
Mitsuyuki smiled and said, “Because in reality, the things I wanted to do are basically finished.
If you want to eat me and have me exit the stage, and then go vent your resentment however you like, just do it if it makes you happy.”
“…Mitsuyuki, are those even human words?”
“Well, at first I wanted to imitate a certain guy, but now I’ve just decided to forget it.
After all, my sword cannot lie.”
Mitsuyuki said, turning to a large rock and sitting down to continue watching the sun.
Oryou was speechless…
Most importantly, because as a Phantasmal Species, she could see through lies and knew that Mitsuyuki was telling the absolute truth, which left her truly speechless.
Then, whether she was angry or amused, she laughed anyway.
“Hey, Mitsuyuki, what do you plan to do next?”
“Next, I’ll just wander around randomly.
Then, when the time comes, I’ll let Souji kill me.”
“…What are you saying?” Oryou’s voice rose once more.
“Since I accepted this power and became the last yokai of this world, I definitely have to die…
But I don’t want to die at someone else’s hands, so I’ll just have to wait until Souji is at her limit.”
Oryou fell silent.
She could tell these were Mitsuyuki’s true thoughts.
“There’s actually no need for that.
I can completely take back your yokai power and devour all of it!” Oryou said frantically.
Hearing this, Mitsuyuki just smiled and patted her head, saying, “It won’t work, Oryou.
Because this is what I promised them; I must do it myself.”
When Mitsuyuki severed all evil thoughts, he could have actually severed them completely, but he didn’t; instead, he accepted them.
From that moment on, Mitsuyuki had actually already scripted his own death.
“…Is it absolutely necessary for you to die?”
Oryou’s expression darkened.
Mitsuyuki patted her head once more.
“Then, one last question…
That person named Souji, is she a girl?”
“Yes, she’s a very beautiful and cute girl!”
“…As I thought, I should just eat you right now.
You’re going to die anyway!” After speaking, an indignant Oryou opened her mouth and bit down hard on Mitsuyuki’s arm, refusing to let go no matter how much he shook it.
…
…
[In the late Edo shogunate era, ever since you disappeared, the title of the world’s greatest swordsman gradually changed hands, falling upon the Genius Swordsman Okita Souji, even though she never acknowledged the title.]
[In truth, everyone knew that you were the world’s true greatest swordsman…
even if you had turned into a demon.]
[As time passed, Okita Souji fell gravely ill, and the Shinsengumi gradually approached its end.
You felt the time was right.]
[That day, the weather in Edo changed abruptly.
Amidst the dense, dark clouds, one of the world’s last great wonders occurred…
a Mizuchi dragon traversing the waters, transforming into a dragon and ascending to the heavens!]
[And you finally made your appearance, high-profilely charging into Edo as a Great Youkai…
No one stopped you that day; in fact, they all accompanied you, performing one final act.]
[You arrived at the Shinsengumi and stood before Okita Souji, who had already been waiting for you for a long time…
In fact, years earlier, you had appeared with Oryou, hoping she could help treat her, but she refused, because she said…]
[She didn’t want you to wait for her for too long.]
[Thus, at the very end, you accompanied that cherry blossom, slowly falling together from the long river of time…]
…
Second simulation, ended.
It might not seem tempting right nobut who knows what the future holds?
