"I just want to be you...... Fate 1......"

"The piccolo...... Actually, I ...... Kept ...... all the time."

- One of the upper strings, Black Death

During the Warring States period, the national clan was followed.

With a loud cry, two new lives were born.

The elder brother was named "Jiguo Iwakatsu", and the younger brother, who died a little later, was named "Jiguo Yuanyi".

In this era when twins mean the struggle for power, the younger brother "Yuanyi", who was born with a weird birthmark on his face and was regarded as ominous, became the one who was abandoned by the family, and fortunately his mother desperately protected him, and the newly born Yuanyi did not die at the hands of his biological father.

And he was lucky enough to escape, but he also completely lost the inheritance of the family, and when he reached the age of ten, he would be sent to the monastery to become a monk.

This is the path that the family has planned for him.

are clearly brothers from the same origin, Iwatsu and Yuanyi, but they went in completely different directions at the beginning......

Time flies, and years pass in a blink of an eye.

Iwatsu, who was carefully cultivated by the family as the future head of the family, has become an extremely excellent object of envy in the eyes of others, and the slightly cowardly Yuanyi sticks to his mother's side all day long, with simple food and clothing, like a servant.

Iwatsu, who grew up, slowly understood the reason why his younger brother was treated differently from him. He is kind-hearted, and often visits Yuanyi in his spare time, and makes a flute for him, and says gently:

"If you want to find your brother, just blow it, and I'll appear in front of you immediately!"

But the timid boy was indifferent the whole time, just holding the piccolo he had made with his own hands.

Never laughed or spoken......

Gradually, the people around him thought that Yuan Yi was born deaf and mute, and sighed more and more about his tragic experience.

"He's a good boy, it's just ......"

"Alas......"

……

One sunny morning.

Under the guidance of the swordsman, Iwatsu was trying to swing the bamboo knife in his hand.

As the heir to the family, he must be strong enough, both in his forces and in his own force.

Just when he was sweating like rain, the boy who appeared quietly on the sidelines appeared, and for the first time, in front of others, spoke.

"Is it my brother's dream to become the strongest samurai in this country?"

With a slightly soft voice, Yan Sheng stopped what he was doing, he turned his head and looked at his younger brother with a gentle smile on his face, and found that it seemed to be the first time he really knew him.

"Then I'll ......"

"It's good to become the second strongest samurai in this country~"

The heartfelt smile on his younger brother's face didn't make Iwatsu happy in the slightest.

On the contrary, his heart, for some reason, breeds only disgust.

- A monk is a monk, and a samurai is a samurai!

- Why, you can say such a rebellious thing with a smile!

The samurai education he received since he was a child made it impossible for Iwakatsu to accept his younger brother's absurd and hierarchical words.

But for a while, he didn't say anything to refute it.

From this day on, Iwatsu's feelings for his younger brother gradually changed.

The seed of "arrogance" that grew in his heart because of the times took root in Iwakatsu's heart, and gradually overshadowed the brotherhood.

In his eyes, Yuanyi, who will only stick to his mother's side all day long, will never be able to become a samurai who fights for his life.

Everyone has his own hierarchy, [order], which is sacred and must not be transgressed!

And just like that, time passed day by day.

Until one day, in the casual joke of the swordsman, the young Yuanyi picked up the bamboo knife for the first time, and with the mantra and skill of holding the knife that he knew temporarily, in Iwatsu's stunned eyes, he easily defeated the powerful swordsman master in his eyes.

This scene completely detonated the seed of "arrogance" in Yansheng's heart.

- All my efforts over the years, just, is it just a joke?

This blow was almost devastating for Iwatsu.

He couldn't understand why he couldn't compare to his younger brother who had never cultivated so hard.

- Perhaps, he just has the secret to becoming powerful?

Iwatsu, who had the last trace of fantasy in his heart, anxiously came to his younger brother and asked.

Under his repeated questioning, the words that Yuan said in one mouth were far beyond his understanding.

"Observe the movement of the lungs, the orientation of the bones, the contraction of the muscles, the flow of blood......"

"Then, swing the knife ......"

It was a familiar word, but at this moment, when it came out of his younger brother's mouth, all Yan Sheng felt in his heart was confusion.

He didn't understand the meaning of what his brother had said.

Perhaps, just like the weird birthmark on Yuanyi's face, his vision is also different from ordinary people, right?

Yan Sheng, who comforted himself like this, suddenly found that Yuan Yi had an extremely boring expression on his face when he talked about swordsmanship.

In the later conversations, Iwatsu gradually understood.

It turns out that Yuan Yi hates the feeling of a weapon hitting someone's body, and for him, the so-called swordsmanship is no more interesting than playing.

“……”

Looking at the serious expression on his younger brother's face, Iwatsu suddenly didn't know how to reply.

The things that are extremely important in my own eyes, in the eyes of others, are just roadside stones, which are readily available and I don't care much about them.

The huge gap made him fall into the abyss called "despair" little by little......

From childhood to adulthood, he showed "pity" in front of his younger brother with a "strong attitude", but it turned out to be nothing more than self-inflicted affection.

It turns out that he is the "weakling......

The attention he had earned in exchange for endless pain was nothing more than dust in front of the light that Yuan Yi inadvertently bloomed.

After learning about Yuanyi's talent, his father was overjoyed and wanted to pour the resources originally given to Iwatsu into Yuanichi instead.

However, at this time, my mother, who was already seriously ill, passed away.

Night.

Looking at Yuanyi, who was kneeling in front of him to inform himself of the news and proposed to go to the temple in advance, Iwatsu's heart was more fortunate than a little sadness about his mother's death.

He knew that after Yuanyi showed his talent, what awaited them would be a completely reversed situation.

And the departure of his younger brother at this moment completely reversed what happened to him later.

Before leaving, Yuan Yi wrapped a piccolo in a clean white cloth and said to Iwatsu with a smile: "The piccolo given by my brother will be regarded as a treasure and I will never give up." ”

Then, the boy who carried his bags left this "home" alone, which had no temperature for him, on this moonless night.

Looking at his younger brother's back as he gradually moved away, Iwatsu's eyes were full of complexity.

"Fate One ......"

At this moment, he didn't know what kind of attitude he should take to treat his younger brother who was a "strong man" when they met again in the future.
