As the wind blows around us, Kaito continues to talk about the things that he considers really important.

“I crushed everything in the Royal Castle. Beneath this rubble, there are many human corpses. Demons love rotten meat so it’s a little cleaner now, but … The smell takes time to go. I destroyed the city because it was the wish of the Demon King … You should have seen the celebration that followed! He offered me magic tools as a reward for my work.”

“What are magic tools?”

“It was how I found you. It was a mirror that showed the things you longed for the most … My brother was the only thing on my mind so he kept appearing. Sometimes I reflected you in a shiny building, with clothes that I had never seen in you. You were giving a lecture in front of a large number of people and then you were there. Standing and cooking. They called you “Ryuo’s Favorite” “Earth-sama”. Who’d say? My brother seemed to be happy with life while my hands were bloody …”

“So you are angry?”

I didn’t know he was hurting or I could have done something to help him. When I was in the stone prison, when I saw him in Tital Guinuwa, I didn’t even know about the circumstances that he had to go through … Did he want to punish me for that anyway?

“Yes, I am angry.” Kaito pulled me by the arm to hold me close to his body. “Never, in all my life, had I felt pressure like this …  Angry to see my brother laughing like that. Hadn’t I told you before? Didn’t I tell you a thousand times not to do it?”

It hurt.

“… What do you mean?”

“When you smile in front of people, you make me feel sick. What were you doing in the first place? Showing that face, those teeth … Crinkling your nose. What do you think I felt about that? It was our rule. It was the only important rule.”

I want to say something, but the words don’t come out the way I want.

Not smiling might have been fine in Japan, but now Rui had told me that he liked my smiling face. He said … that he found it beautiful. The people of Lütbya accepted me without any disgust so I refuse to go back to this man who thinks he has the right to judge me just for being my younger brother.

“The point is … I tried to get you to come with me. I tried it over and over again because Meladul told me I could do it if I put all my power down. I tried it every day until my magic was exhausted … With the moon I get my strength, but you never appeared in the mirror at night.”

Because it was always my personal rule to spend the night with Rui … But this time, I stupidly left the castle because I was upset.

“What did you do at night? Here is a tradition that consists of sacrificing humans to our Gods. In times of national disaster, continuous crop failure or severe natural disasters … When things are terribly bad, sacrifices are made and everything improves again … It is called “Yaga de Dios”. Yaga is about sex.”

“Kaito …”

“Are you Ryuo’s sacrifice? Um? Do you let him fuck you and in return he makes it rain?”

“That’s enough.”

I was angry that he was questioning me about my sex life … Plus it was highly disgusting. However, if I escape from Kaito’s arm, I will be hit by the debris that is tens of meters from my feet and I will inevitably die. Is dying better or worse than being here?

“How does it feel for a God to put his penis on you?”

“Stop Please…”

“You like him?”
