The moment for the westward demon to bloom has finally arrived.

For the first time, Yuyuko's residence in Xixing Temple welcomed a large number of guests from Xixing Temple, and Yuyuko was already mentally prepared, kneeling outside the house early, waiting for their arrival.

"This day has finally arrived, the sin of taking countless lives, and the sealing of the Westward Demon can make up for it somewhat. ”

"Lord Yuyuko, the Westward Demon will be in full bloom today, and then we can only rely on your power. "For the head of the Xixing Temple family stepped forward and said.

"Yes, I know, it's my destiny. Please take me to the westward demon, and let me use this life to make the demon tree no longer bloom in this world. ”

Yuyuko smiled slightly, and let the monks tie themselves with the rope covered with charms, sealing themselves in an enchantment that could temporarily isolate the breath of death.

It's just that no one saw the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

―――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"Damn, what the hell am I doing!"

I slammed my fist into the trunk of the tree next to me, and instantly broke the tree in two.

The moment I saw Yuyuko being tied up in an uncovered sedan chair and crying, my heart really hurt so much.

What do I want to do? What am I really looking forward to right now? What am I looking for right now?

If it was me a while ago, I would definitely ignore the qiΔ“ in front of me, after all, what does the life and death of human beings have to do with me.

But now, my heart is in turmoil.

I didn't know what to do now, so I silently followed the people of the Saiyuki temple until I reached a torii gate.

"Yuyuko-sama, if we continue to get closer, we won't be able to resist the magic of the Westbound Demon, so you will have to go alone for the rest of the journey. ”

"Well, I see, I'll take care of the rest......"

The monks laid down Yuyuko in front of the torii gate and watched her walk alone towards the blooming westward demon, and it was only after she was far away that some sneers came from the crowd.

"Heh, things are finally working according to our long-term plan. ”

"Yes, the same demonic aura of death as the Westward Demon is really a disgusting girl. ”

"That's right, it's an abominable monster girl. ”

"But that's the end of it. What a joy it is for the monster girl and the monster tree to die together. ”

"Hmph, what a funny thing, I was obviously just a tool made by the Xixing Temple family, but I fought for my life as a member of the Xixing Temple family. ”

"Hehehe...... What a stupid girl!"

I don't know who said the last sentence, but it was agreed by everyone, and the people laughed unabashedly, regardless of how harsh the laughter was for Yuyuko, who was about to step into death.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I feel the same way, I really didn't expect her to sacrifice her life for you trash. ”

I couldn't bear it anymore and slowly walked out of the gap.

"Yakumo! aren't you already ...... Why are you here!" The head of the Saiyuji family recognized me at a glance and took a few steps back in a panic, "Didn't that youkai girl already kill you?"

"I'm sorry, maybe the Emperor didn't want to see me, so she drove me back. I half-jokingly said, "Since I'm here, I'm sure you should know what I'm here for, right?"

"The elites of the Xixing Temple family should have gathered here...... Rest assured, when you die, I will send everyone from the Saigyoji family down to be your companion one by one. So ......"

I slowly closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, they were already a blood-red color.

"You bastards, give me one death!"

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――――――

This is not a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

Retracting my hand and staring at the blood and corpses all over the ground, my heart was filled with endless emptiness instead of the pleasure of venting.

And...... A little bit of self-loathing.

Blood and hatred do not bring satisfaction, but can plunge oneself into endless emptiness and loneliness. Because hatred will only breed more hatred in the end...... When did I start to hate killing?

Heh, it turns out that in just a few days, Yuyuko has changed me so much. Even though it's only been a day, she's become an important person for me......

So, I'm going to bring her back...... No matter what the cost!

Just as I was about to move on, a figure stood in front of me.

"Blue, why are you here?"

"Lady Purple! No, even Lord Purple can't stop that girl!" Lan stretched out his arms in front of me, and said anxiously: "The strength of the Westward Demon is already higher than that of Lord Zi, plus you used that state just now......"

"Get out of the way, Blue, I don't want to say a second time. I interrupted Lan lightly, not even looking at her.

"But Lord Purple, it's too dangerous!"

"Stand down!" I accentuated my tone as I radiated a murderous aura towards Blue.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, Purple-sama. Although Lan was still very unwilling, he obediently got out of the way and watched me walk through the torii gate towards the westward demon.

At this time, Yuyuko had already arrived under the tree of the Westbound Demon. It will be some time before the westward demon opens, but countless dead butterflies have begun to fly around the demon tree.

The tall westward demon stood in front of Yuyuko's eyes, its huge canopy obscuring the sky, and dead butterflies flying in the air, tempting humans to rush to death without hesitation.

"The Westward Demon has already begun to scatter the dead butterflies, if you don't hurry up, ......"

Yuyuko took out two folding fans from her arms and began to narrate her feelings to the westward demon in front of her.

"Westward Demon, I hated you at first. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to bear this power. But now I can understand your feelings, because I am ...... same as you."

"It must be painful to be feared and hated, right? It must be very painful to be desperately lonely, right? I know, you don't want to be like this......

"I hope you don't stay alone anymore, and I will always be by your side from now on. ”

As if she understood Yuyuko's words, a dead butterfly took the initiative to fly towards her and stopped in front of Yuyuko.

Yuyuko was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, stretched out her fingertips to hold the dead butterfly, and gently put it to her mouth and kissed it.

"Come on, go away with me......"

Yuyuko shook off the folding fan in her hand and greeted the westward demon.

But what she never expected was that before that, there was a figure in front of her.

"Is this cherry tree the tombstone you prepared for yourself?"
