Vol 1 Chapter 1 (2/2)
”But the hole is dug quite deep It’s almost impossible for a human to climb up without the appropriate tools”
”The depth is only about five tiht”
”Could Hi this trap with the intention to kill people?!”
”It was originally to catch bears, after all I want to eat bear hotpot[30] sometimes~”
”Leave the hunting of bears to me instead, please permanently fill that trap”
”No thanks The de who dominates the anti-Christians needs to have enchantht I want to eat chicken, Kojuurou”
”Well it seems like Hime doesn't have much interest in bear hotpot Actually it's just an excuse to set up a trap isn't it?!”
”Please just say that it's an excuse that I u”
”If we continue to increase the notoriety of this Nanban haunted house, there will be a day where the nearby residents will burn it down”
”Hoish for it Being hunted by humans is but a demon's fate Kojuurou”
”No even though Hime is a little short in stature, but you're still a normal human”
”Once the de will also probably awaken Using so the foolish humans cry out like a bunch of chickens and then die”
”I seem to think that Hi and then cry out pitifully like a little kitten before passing away”
If you left Bonten, most probably they would continue their manzai[31] like that
”I've brought over the person who fell into the trap”
Megohier and decisively interrupted Bontenmaru and Kojuurou to introduce the victim to them
”I ai Kenshi+n! Ju-just as that Nanban cathedral?!”
This unfortunate person was precisely Naoe Kanetsugu who sadly fell into the pitfall trap and then was stuck at the botto, ”It's so cold!” while shi+vering and enduring her empty stomach
”Why would a Nanban cathedral have a goat's skull as a decoration on the altar? Why are there a great amount of bats on the roof? It caused me to accidentally fall into that hole!”
The stunned Naoe Kanetsugu atching the petite Bonteni clan's confidante actually fell into the trap of this little kid?” and was plunged into a turmoil
Meanwhile Bonten
'It would seeant person, there is sou'
She had a look of iu
If Kanetsugu could suppress her turbulent e for compensation, perhaps the history past this point would have changed
”What is a retainer of Echigo's Uesugi Kenshi+n doing at this deu?”
”What de? The person I came to see is the heir of the Date Clan, Bontenmaru!”
”I am Bontenmaru-sama's aide, my name is Katakura Kojuurou”
Kojuurou as dressed like aa unique aura
Kanetsugu who thought Kojuurou was a young boy could not help but blush, as she restrained that anger
”This blond-haired princess is Bontenmaru-sama”
”Th-this brat is Bontenht?”
”Even though Hiy!”
”…Liar!”
Naoe Kanetsugu issued the loudest shriek in her life
”Gugugu, Kojuurou doesn't lie”
”She didn't lie! This cool, cute, gentle girl is Bontenmaru Onee-sama”
If you'd ignore the bandages wrapped around her body, it could be said that nothing could better describe the purity of Megohiu could only clutch her painful head while , ”How can it be this little brat is ”
Faced with the pathetic Kanetsugu, Bontenu”
Kanetsugu gritted her teeth while thinking, 'You et it over and done with”
”I a of the Nanban demon clan, Bontenmaru!”
”Nanbanwhat? I didn’t quite catch that Can you repeat that again?”
”Okay! I a the seventy-seventh level of Nanban hell, Bontenmaru!”
”Why do I feel like it uses the same lines as just now?”
”Never mind I just casually said whatever was on my mind at that time, since I never repeat myself”
'This damn bratdoes she want to be executed ' The hot-headed Kanetsugu finally was unable to contain the fluctuations in her killing intent
Bontenreat deal of teasing value in a different sense compared to Kojuurou' and was full of joy
While facing Kanetsugu, Bontenative sides of both of theet carried away
”So, the person called Kane-tan”
”It's Kanetsugu!”
”Originally the people who peeped at my de to the rules of the Nanban demon clan”
”Don't call me Kane-tan! By the hat's this demon eye?”
”What a rude fellow Obviously I' about my left eye You've seen it already yet you still don't understand! Look at it! Using the Nanban language to say it, —— Go!”
Bonten at her left eye and its red iris
It eventually becah-pitched and became like the wails of a cat
Kanetsugu did not fully comprehend it and so she tilted her head
”That I understand, but why is it a demon eye?”
”Don'tto you My eye's red iris is the sy cursed by the Nanban demons”
”Why?”
The block-headed state of Kanetsugu made Bontenmaru even more infuriated
As she started to swing her arms
Fiercely swinging her arms
”In Yonezawa, it has always been fixed like this! People who have seen my demon eye will have their souls pulled out of them, so everyone is always terrified!”
”So it's like thisin other words the people in Yonezawa are a bunch of country bu your eye with its red iris”
”Huh?”
”In Echigo, there is no such idiot who believes in this kind of superstition You ht as well say that a red iris is a symbol of divinity Only those that have been selected by the deities are born with that red iris, talents that will have a great destiny”
”Whatwhy? Is there really the existence of such a strange country?”
”It’s not really that surprising Yonezawa is quite a rural area”
“So, the reason why Kenshi+n-saon' is because of this red iris of Bontenu starts to understand for some unknown reason
”However this is the first time I've seen someone with only a red iris Bontenmaru, perhaps you possess the heart of a human as well as the soul of a deity”
”Well said, but the truth is it's slightly different The past ugugu, but for the current me, the demon has already completely won!”
”Wait, where did the human heart run off to?!”
Kojuurou as well as Megohio is really advanced!” ”How can Onee-sa two extremely different types of attitudes
While Bontenood, deities are bad!” and then started clutching her left eye and howling in pain
”Uooohhhh, I a ill always have the destiny of engaging in a life-or-death battle against God forever My soul has already attained the red demon eye, in other words the demon in me won! How can I allow it to be taken away by theknown as God!”
”Don't you feel that your life is very ele day?”
”Shut up, you bastard! Could you be the person sent to rein me in from the faction of God?”
”How could I be that kind of troublesoer?!”
”Then why exactly did you come?”
'Ah, finally we can have a pragu was so overjoyed she started tearing up
”Listen up, i Kenshi+n-say, Bontenmaru”
”You're under whose orders? My soul has long fallen into the grasp of the dees in hypocrisy and is interested in God can never save u”
”Don't interrupt me halfway[32]!”
”HaNashi+[33]where's the back in these kana?”
”Even though I don't think you're a prodigy, but Uesugi Kenshi+n-sa country, Yaami Yoshi+aki”
”Ah that fox like uncle”
Bontenly uninterested
Mogami Yoshi+aki Bontenical brother
For some unknown reason - ical father was a Nanban - in the past up till now the irritating uncle with a fox's face had always regarded Bontenmaru as a thorn in his side
Most probably he was conte on various ways to win over the current head of the Date Clan, Date Terumune and then devour the entirety of the Date Clan, this fact was obvious to everyone atched it
”That fox is indeed i Kenshi+n want to protectof Oshu?”
”Kenshi+n-sahts in order to ensure there is justice in this chaotic era”
”Ah'
”Can you please be a little more interested!?”
”Oh”
”Forget it Anyway, Kenshi+n-saa the order and peace in Oshu However, Kenshi+n-sa Kanto's Hojo Clan and Kai's Takeda shi+ngen in a battle now, and is unable to withdraw and directly coainst two diabolical forces”
”You rass and nothing else right?”
”Maa~, leaving that aside Therefore I'm here in place of Kenshi+n-sama, sent here in order to protect Oshu and enforce justice and ensure order”
”Gugugu, Kenshi+n is really a troubleso person”
”What exactly did you say?! You bastard, what did you take Kenshi+n-saood intentions for!?”
”Hmph, what a nosy person Problems in Oshu should be left to myself and the demon clan of Oshu to handle”
”It should be 'Left to the people of Oshu to handle, Hime,” Kojuurou corrected
”In any case, before Moga in Yonezawa”
”Before that you'd probably first fall for my trap and lose your life”
”Shut up! 'Because I fell into a hole that's why I fled back to Echigo,' can I really report this to Kenshi+n-sama!”
”Mego, prepare a room for Kane-tan Since she is a follower of God, just prepare a space in the stables for her gugugu”
”Yes Onee-sama”
Megohiy towards Bontenmaru, no matter what Bontenmaru wished, she would faithfully realize it
”I'm not a follower of God, I'm human! Also, don't call me Kane-tan!”
”I despise Bishaend from another perspective can be said to be equivalent to so over evil fiends, the enemies of Buddhism Because they refuse to convert and are thus constantly tras of these fiends Kanetan?”
”Don't call me Kane-tan!”
”Because Oshu's demons who refuse to remain secluded and are thus hunted down, as well as the fiends trampled under Bishamonten's feet, I can smell the scent of similarity between the two parties!!”
”You should say 'The people of Oshu' there instead,” Kojuurou corrected
”Bontenive me a room for a person to live in! Or else I really won't be able to tolerate this any longer!”
'Don't be like that! If Kane-tan who has a flat chest says so like this I will feel bad”
”Flat chest?!”
A critical hit from Bontenmaru!
Kanetsugu's weakness was exposed
While Kanetsugu was depressed, going ”AHHHH”, it was tiohime smiled at them and exclaimed ”Please enjoy”
”Mego, I'll share my snacks with you, come over here and sit on my knees”
”Yes (Che)”
”The way you eat is not bad Mego is really cute, gugugu”
”Onee-sa alive is really painful”
Megohiood, especially Megohiy towards Bontenmaru
As for Kanetsugu who didn't understand anything about family, she was unable to hide her confusion
”Hii Clan, it's best if we give her the highest quality room we have”
Kojuurou as the only one a that had common sense made such a statement Bontenmaru happily replied, ”Indeed that's true”
'Even if it's Bontenmaru, she seems to candidly accept Kojuurou-dono's words ' hat Kanetsugu was thinking
”In that case, I'll loan to you the roo it, it's an extreu”
As to why did Bontene au was unable to detect it
So Kanetsugu finally was able to acquire a room
However that room was a pitch black secret room on the second floor of the Nanban cathedral Furtherram was painted onto it in red paint
There were not only the mounted specimens of apes, deer and horses on the walls, but there was also a painting of a hu the black skull of a ram directly opposite a Nanban bed
What a suspicious room
The only light came from candles which provided scant illumination, once the sun set, the interior could be said to be the equivalent of the demon world, pitch dark and bleak
'Is this even a roo her knees to her chest on the Nanban bed
Fro came sounds
”Meo”
The legion of black cats chorused
It would seriously seem like there's no way to sleep this time
Unexpectedly by the side of the pillow Bontenmaru's hand written letter was placed
'How is it Kane-tan? This is a special rooinally it wasn't for visitors to stay in But still for so like you, other places beside special rooht Huahahahahahaha'
-Swelling sound-
The hot-headed Kanetsugu's blood vessels bulged
'Look at the hexagra the next full moon, a de sacrifice'
”Wh-hat an impudent bastard!”
'Should you really insist on co over to my bedroom to sleep with me, then you have to meet the necessary condition to become my bolster, please don't take offence, well in any case, it's i your flat chest'
The last phrase of 'flat chest' gave Kanetsugu a decisive blow!
'Besides, she actually wanted to i” and is feared by the people of Echigo into her bolster, this is really too insolent!'
Kanetsugu's face turned red as she becaan to tear apart Bontener
”damned Bontenmaru!!”
'One '
”There's still more?!”
'This de predicts that at this tiugu'
'TTo think I was being toyed with in the palm of her hand!! By that dai Clan !!”
”Wuuuu! Iwon't admit defeat!”
For coret, but to the warriors of Echigo, Kenshi+n's order could be said to equal a divine command
'How can that Bontenmaru ever possibly be assassinated!? Kenshi+n-sama, just this one time I cannot accept your command! That damned brat has already fallen onto the path of the demons You should iainst Yonezawa and bury Bontenmaru deep inside the mountains!'
Naturally, she could not say this to Kenshi+n The serious Kanetsugu could only crawl into bed and could not help but begin to complain
”Ahhh I really shouldn't have come to this accursed place”
Late at night in the area near the Nanban cathedral
”The Nanban cathedral doesn't have a toilet at all, geez~, what a hassle”
Recently, the nights of Yonezaere much colder than usual
Kanetsugu who had woke up due to the extreot up to find a toilet, but there was none in the cathedral
”I really can't fall into a trap again ”
Entering thethe long corridor leading to the toilet, passing the door of Bontenmaru's bedroom
'She can't be in the ht?'
Kanetsugu could not help but go over and sneak a peek, and as a result, saw Bonten Kojuurou on a Nanban sofa
'EHHH?! To think Kojuurou and Bontenmaru had such a relationshi+p? How can it be, Bontenmaru is still a child'
'A-ah, to think that she'd use her authority to force the kind Kojuurou-dono into subiven!'
Kanetsugu continued peeping in order to ascertain that they did not do any s
However what she saas——
” I don't want to go see Okaa”
”Hie”
”Okaa she hates me, because I'm not Otou's child, I don't want to see her”
”That is aon your part, Hime”
”Kojuurou Why am I not Otou's child”
”Thats ”
”If I was Otou's child, Okaa would definitely love me”
” Hime”
Bonten, and trembled in Kojuurou's embrace
After stripping off Bonten irl
Only in front of the trusted Kojuurou, would another side of Bontenmaru be revealed
Kanetsugu could not help but hold her breath
'The colour of her hair, and the sole red iris No matter who took a saw it, they would probably think that she is not Date Teruhter It's ient Bonten position in the Date Clan'
The main reason why Bonten of the Nanban demons, was probably also to first consider herself as an abnormally in order to protect her wounded soul
'If Bontenmaru did not believe that she was from the Nanban demon clan, an existence that came here from somewhere outside this world, she probably would be unable to reh this joyfully For Bontenical Nanban father, she is also unable to find her sanctuary in the Christian faith and its teachings'
Because she was born a prodigy——
Precisely because she was born in this country that was covered in snow and surrounded by towering mountains——
The reason why Kenshi+n-sareat concern seemed to be understandable now
'In any case, Kojuurou-dono who is encouraging Bontenentle If I could have an older brother, I want somebody like that'
Just when she was planning to quietly leave the corridor, she buure
It was Megohime
Sure enough, she was also on the way to the toilet
”Mego-dono? I do apologize”
”Kane-tan, what do you think of Onee-sama?”
”What do I think of her hmmm, I've only o-dono’s eyes, she ht?”
”Let h she treats her family well, but her attitude towards outsiders is really too rude, furthermore, she also stays in her house all day, as the heir of the clan that does cause a great deal of probleu who did not kno to tell a lie bluntly stated
”Please don't hate Onee-sama”
Megohi with tears
”I-I apologize Whenever I start talking my mouth just won't stop”
”Mego is not a child of the Date Clan”
”What did you say Mego-dono?”
”Mego is froe”
”EHHHHH?!”
To Kanetsugu, this was an unbelievable revelation
Froohie
”Toall the way here, Onee-sa as I, Bontenmaru, is around, I will protect you for a lifetiive me a smile”
”Mego-dono”
” 'Even if we're not related by blood, Mego will still be my little sister,' That hat she said to me”
”That Bontenmaru, huh”
”Onee-saentle person However, that kind of attitude hat made her enemies Everywhere, in fact, everyone misunderstood Onee-sama”
Kanetsugu was shocked
She was completely unaware
Whether it was Bontenohis of Bontenmaru
She had no doubts that the two of them were a pair of sisters that shared a wonderful relationshi+p
”Mego-dono has a good Onee-sama”
Thus, Kanetsugu was determined to stay in Yonezawa to protect Bontenmaru properly
