Edo period. In certain mountains, a clan of white dragons lived there.
The White Dragons demanded that nearby villages make regular sacrifices. From the dragon, we make man sacrifice because it is a sign that we are revered and feared.
From the seven scales of the young dragon, I thought the idea was very ridiculous, and I wasn't comfortable with the imposition of sacrifice.
Some of the dragons usually go down to people and interact with each other as people. How can you force a sacrifice when you are close to people? I always asked in my heart if I was okay with pitying them, but I couldn't get them out of my mouth.
At one point, Seven Scales Fai became close to one daughter in one of the villages. Seven scales Fai and his daughter began to let each other through their emotions, and they frequently took to the village to meet their daughter.
Seven Scales Fai has a bad feeling. This girl is beautiful. Sacrifice may therefore be required.
If you calm down later and think about it, it's much more likely that that bad feeling will center, but the young Seven Scales Fai still didn't know that.
The bad feeling was that the daughter was chosen as a sacrifice. Knowing that he was in love with Seven Scales Fai, the White Dragons also chose it as a sacrifice without pity.
Just because you've been sacrificed doesn't mean you'll be eaten and killed right away. Mostly after taking the time to make them the consolation of the dragons, one of the dragons eats them to death. This eating dragon is determined in turn.
Sacrificial daughters may conceive a child, and if it is a dragon that is born, they will take care of the child as is, and after a while they are raised, the daughter of the sacrifice will be devoured and killed before the dragon's son is willing. If you conceive a human child, it will be returned to you. In this case, it was the only possibility that I could return alive. The daughter, who supposedly conceived the son of a man who was returned by the dragon to draw the dragon's blood, is taken care of inside.
Therefore, when there was a possibility of survival, he was told by the father of Seven Scales Fai and the close dragon, but that did not convince him. I also categorically refused to be consoled by the dragons.
When Seven Scales Fai defied the Code, several dragons who had not originally felt comfortable with this evil custom also agreed with Seven Scales Fai.
As a result, a dispute arose between the dragons. Though the feud ended with the triumph of Seven Scales Fai and others, Seven Scales Fai was attacked intensively, turning that body, once beautiful, into a blurry dull gray, and calling itself the Grey Dragon.
Tired and wave soldiers who came to the residence of the Beast Emperor on Mount Takao revealed there the night.
In the morning, the monsters bring in tons of meals. Not only for the Beast Emperor, but also for his daughters, who have been taken for the processing of the Beast Emperor's lust. There was also a good share of tiredness and wave soldiers.
Don't you think we were offered a comfort by the Beast Emperor?
Wave soldiers make such jokes as they have breakfast alongside the beast emperors and daughters.
At the end of the breakfast, the Beast Emperor quickly interacted with his daughters. It's okay to have tired and wave soldiers. We had an exchange as soon as we got back here last night.
"No, not again. That's how over-sexual you look so cute."
Moving into the hall a little further away, the wave soldiers fall asleep and say in a sigh. The cave hall is full of grass and not uncomfortable to sleep in.
"And your head... it was"
Tired of looking at the Beast Emperor and smiling nostalgic.
"Attacking the village is a day of plunder and mausoleum...... a nostalgia. After he laid his daughter together, he said he was reworking her mouth... and he interacted well with me. Oh...... I want to go back to those days"
"Oh well..."
Wave soldiers laugh bitterly when they see the tiredness of talking with a grumpy face.
"I've lost my mind and I've always dreamed of seeing your head again, and I've lived for hundreds of years. In a way...... it's a stupid choice. Normally he dies in life......, if only he returned to the boundaries of reincarnation, he would be attracted to the edge, and with those who were deeply involved in the previous life...... because he did not do it when he said he could be reunited...... I want to be reunited with the reincarnation of your head while I keep this life alive and with my memories… Now it's finally not happening"
Tired was nostalgic, not realizing the painful laughter of the wave soldiers, with such expressions as delight and helplessness.
The beast emperor leaves his daughter and comes toward both of us.
"Kuh."
"Wow."
The Beast Emperor hugs the wave soldiers and begins to cheek.
I'm not a woman.
No, no, a wave soldier who refuses as if to, but the Beast Emperor will not try to leave.
"It's just twisted... I think"
I say as I look at the wave soldiers in envy of tiredness.
It's a cat.
"Kuhhhh."
"What the hell, this guy haha"
A wave soldier with a sneer and a laugh, crumbling with the Beast Emperor. The fear of the first time I felt it was gone. If I watched the innocent, pure beast emperor with too much instinct, I'd be free of fear and all that. If we assume we will fight, of course, we will not talk about it.
Wave soldiers grabbing both sides of the Beast Emperor from behind and trying to push him toward the tired.
And there appears the Grey Dragon.
"Hey, chief of evil."
A wave soldier who speaks sarcastically.
"Last night, the resistance of the human magicians was so intense that we lost more than half of our power here. Some of them were quite powerful demons."
It is a grey dragon with a face that is not very unfortunate for it.
"Lord Shizuno, asking for the compelling reason that you seem to be close to the Emperor... is also a strange story, but can you help us?
Gray Dragon sees the tired and begs for help in a mild tone that doesn't seem to expect much, even if it's a public discourse.
"Honestly...... it's troubling. I have nothing to rebel against what you are doing, and I have a reincarnation of your head, so I would rather cooperate... But my... is already in your position as your enemy... and I can't even join you now. At least... if I'd seen him seven years early..."
Seeing the tiredness of saying it looked really painful, Grey Dragon wasn't even particularly discouraged. Maybe it's because I expected it to be rejected.
"I see. I don't have a choice."
"I'm lost too... but I do. I want to turn this world around too... because I always want to. But... when I do that, I feel sorry for people... and I'm stuck in my head."
"You look alike, with me"
Hear tired stories, gray dragons with distant eyes.
"I'm also wondering what I'm doing and if I'm really right about this. I'm going in one direction while I'm lost."
The wave soldiers were surprised by the words of the Grey Dragon. Because I thought that the Grey Dragon was trying, with faith, to destroy the world of men without hesitation, to build the world of demons.
"I once fought the demons who treated humans unfairly - my countrymen, the White Dragons - to save humans"
Grey Dragon speaks, evoking bitter memories.
"I killed many of my compatriots, and at the price of it, I turned myself into a scorched and ugly figure. As the Grey Dragon named it. The humans also thanked me. But......"
Grey dragons that cut and meditate on words. The most unpleasant memories come back.
"He was then betrayed by the humans who stood up and saved him. It's a common story. But... not all humans have betrayed me, so I can't hold my heart against them. And those who betrayed me and drove me desperately. Thanks to you, I am still alive."
Soo-woo's heartbreak hurts at the Grey Dragon who talks about his betrayed past.
"Can't hate people because of your tragedy?"
Listening to the story, Wavemen's view of the Grey Dragon changed as before. It wasn't just a simple man with a desire to dominate or destroy.
"Oh...... my heart stays on one side or the other the whole time. But because it remains one way or the other, it moves in the direction of denying the world and existence of a person in order to shake one off - you just said."
"But in the end, you were betrayed, and you ran to the haters, didn't you? You must have made the guy who betrayed you evil, right?
To the point of the wave soldiers, the Grey Dragon spills a smile.
"I'm talking about suffering because I'm so simply inseparable, didn't I tell you? Just because you've been betrayed doesn't make my mind that simple, such as to hate everything. My desire to save people was real, and I had a warm time with the humans. That's why I got lost, worried, tormented, and thought about myself, and finally stepped in the direction of being relative to people. Not for revenge. I have feelings of resentment, and I have feelings of mercy."
Behind Grey Dragon's brain as he described it, various memories of the past had been brought back to life. No heart, or as its eyes were moistened, it was visible to the eyes of the wave soldiers.
"Everyone can have more than two feelings. And distress and suffer. But. Sometimes we just have to head for one answer. I'm in the middle of choosing one answer right now. Not to mention mistakes or correct answers."
"In a way, you look alike... with me. It's a weird state of affairs, hating but not hating. Me too..."
Anticipating the separation of Grey Dragon stories, wave soldiers say. Grey Dragon continues the conversation.
"Many demons, if traced back to the original, were created by men. Being built, used, awed, neglected, resented, and killed at the discretion of a person. I don't like this schematic and I can't help it. And making this schematic is like no other person. As long as the world of men continues, this structure will go on forever. I want to cut it off. That's all I can think of in order for a demon to bear grief and nothingness and stop being hated"
"Even if I say the demons are powerful, I know how many of them... It will be difficult, such as overthrowing the world of men…"
Tired points out, the Grey Dragon shakes a small, hazy shake.
"I can. Of course we can't do it alone. But with the Beast Emperor, that's possible. The emperor far outweighs even the power of the dragon clan. We fought a number of strong men last night, and we left, didn't we? With the power of the Beast Emperor, it becomes"
Suddenly it turns into an intoxicated face, Grey Dragon affirms.
See the Beast Emperor, whose tiredness remains trapped by the wave soldiers. I know it does possess mighty power, but it is only an ambition of the Grey Dragon and his subordination, and the Beast Emperor doesn't seem to want that.
