Chapter 177 – 3. The Land of the Golden Hair (1)
Long time ago. She was a fox with nine tails who took the name Dalgi and ruined a country.
However, her identity was eventually discovered by humans and she split her body into three and escaped.
He is one of the three so divided.
Afterwards, she met the Toba Emperor herself, and she tried to charm him like the previous Dalgi and plunge the country into grief, but is it really ironic?
At first, she was very annoyed at Dova’s appearance, which did not go her way, and she grumbled at him for giving admonishments with a benevolent expression, but when did she start?
The fox who tried to charm him was truly influenced by him and fell for him.
At some point, the temptation to manipulate him according to her own taste became the push of love whispered to him from the bottom of her heart. I was surprised, but for some reason I didn’t feel like going back to the way I was before.
As Tamamo, who came to truly love him, she helped him with all her might to achieve the peace he desired.
But is karma just turning a stone?
Did the bad karma he had done in the name of Dalgi return to him before he was divided into three?
Toba had to suffer from numerous political conspiracies and assassination attempts.
The peaceful era, which seemed to be good for everyone, seemed to have reduced their benefits and tightened their necks for some politicians.
He says he is a hypocritical king who only pretends to be clean by himself.
He said meat couldn’t live in water that was too clean.
Whenever that happens, Tamamo does her best to block all conspiracies and schemes against him before they reach Toba.
He stopped all sorts of assassination plots and tricks, blocked poisons that came in several times a day, and helped him inside and outside.
However, no matter how great a monster he may be, his own body was one, and there were so many who aimed at Toba, knowingly or unknowingly, their hostility ate away Toba’s body, and Tamamo did everything in his power to continue Toba’s life somehow with his own power. Although they nursed him, they were using almost all their strength to maintain his life, so the rulers, who were free from Tamamo’s check, now revealed their demonic powers toward Tamamo.
He said that the reason Emperor Toba fell was because of himself, a vicious fox youkai, and he revealed his true identity and attacked.
As Tamamo, who was consuming too much power to save Doba, had no choice but to run away, leaving Doba sick and dying due to the large armies who came to subdue her.
If he had taken Doba with him, he would not have been able to fulfill his dream, and rumors would have spread that Doba was possessed by a fox and abandoned the country.
Tamamo thought that if a large army had arrived like this, it would be difficult for them to make a move because there were so many eyes on them.
However, Tamamo thought too much of the human malice.
They finally succeeded in killing Toba with their evil tricks, and Tamamo, who was enraged by that, tried to wipe them out, but unlike before, he was weakened by a third, and he had consumed too much power to save Toba, so he still had all his strength. He, who could not recover, was eventually subjugated by humans, and his resentment against those who killed Doba was concentrated, leaving behind the killing stone and being sealed.
It was a thing in the distant past, thousands of years ago.
He wondered how many years had passed since he had been the Killing Stone.
The world had changed, and in such a world, Tamamo tried to find out about this era by enchanting someone in a moderately high position, but she couldn’t.
He had changed
With a body that can no longer be tailed by anyone except Toba.
Tamamo, who lamented that this is what it means to truly love someone, had no choice but to use her own footsteps in an unfamiliar way to gather information about her.
And while getting to know this era, Tamamo made up her mind.
Humans go through reincarnation and live endlessly, so it is certain that Doba will be reborn somewhere on this earth.
If Doba was born a woman, then she would be his friend.
If she was born as a man again, she would be his wife again. If she already had a wife, she would become his concubine and live with his love.
However, did the world really want to torment you?
While the gigantic great monsters were somehow sealed, they absorbed various legends from worlds similar to their own, becoming a cataclysmic disaster and blowing away the land that Toba had been trying to achieve so peacefully with the seal.
What’s ironic is that this aftermath also affected Tamamo, and she, who had been cut into three pieces, became the main axis and absorbed the other two pieces of herself.
He returned as a nine-tailed fox with Tamamo’s spirit, but compared to them, who became incredibly strong by absorbing other legends similar to him scattered all over the world, he was really weak.
And.
Ironically, he thought he only absorbed other beings of his own, but it seemed that he, like them, absorbed various traditions scattered all over the world.
However, since all of those traditions were related to beauties, there was no significant increase in power, so I just didn’t notice.
However, it was clear that the tradition had been absorbed into him without much effort.
Even if he didn’t try to bewitch himself, he became enchanted just by looking at him.
The color of Gyeonggukji has now become the color of Gyeongseji.
There is no vacancy in their hearts because they are already full of Doba, but countless people have started to ruin the country by giving me all kinds of wealth and glory, dedicating the country, and doing things they do not want.
Tamamo really didn’t do anything, but just by being there, the entire continent tilted by itself.
Even though Tamamo didn’t do anything like that, he was called the four major disasters by fighting the three damned people on his own.
Really. I really didn’t do anything.
Later, when Tamamo heard the news that the humans were sealing the four major disasters, he thought the news was good and liked it.
Although he didn’t like it very much, Tamamo took full advantage of his appearance and manipulated humans and led them to the path he wanted.
Their weaknesses and characteristics that are enough to seal humans from the three major disasters excluding themselves. He gave knowledge and wisdom, such as how to seal it, and he created a small country by gathering people with good souls that resembled Toba’s soul as much as possible on a large island that was closest to Toba’s hometown and did not know when. .
In a way, this may be a very bad thing.
What will happen to this land if good people like Doba disappear from this land?
Still.
Tamamo wanted to narrow down the range of land where Toba was likely to be born as much as possible.
He wanted to create a country full of good people and bring Doba’s dream of the world of Taiping into his arms.
Like that. Tamamo’s small greed decided the fate of this land.
But Tamamo did not know.
That lotuses are born in mud.
According to the words of the ruler who harassed Doba so much, he couldn’t live in clear water.
* * * * *
I thought it would be small because it was an island, but when I arrived, I couldn’t believe that Newre was an island.
I heard that it is a big island, but can it really be called an island?
“Isn’t it possible that we arrived at the small continent by mistake?”
At Roa’s words, Jincheong stopped laughing and laughed.
“No, really, this is Newe.”
At Jincheong’s words, Roa blankly stared blankly at the very busy street.
“The hell… How can an island be so prosperous?”
“That’s right. All the goods from that small continent come and go here, so there is no choice but to accumulate a lot of wealth.”
On the other hand, Jincheong felt very happy when he thought that supplies that had no choice but to go through this place came and went directly from the mainland.
Within the small continent, you will be able to import unlimited items that need to be brought in from the mainland. Conversely, materials that would be very difficult to export to the outside can be exported indefinitely.
“Come to think of it, did you say that the great youkai sealed in Nure are friendly to humans?”
“More than she is friendly, in fact, she is like the king of this place. Oh, this land belongs to her.”
She?
“The great youkai sealed in Newre is a nine-tailed fox who has lived a very long time. Although he was awakened by the four major disasters and shook the continent, it is insignificant compared to the colossal events of other disasters.”
When Roa made an expression that seemed to think that she had done such a great thing, Jincheong continued her words.
“However, her presence played a huge role in the fact that the other three disasters turned the world into such a mess. Many people who were enchanted by her beauty were antagonistic and unable to unite even though she did nothing. After all, even those who betrayed humanity appear one after another…”
Jincheong glanced at the coffin tied behind Talos’s back, which contained Yuria.
“Yes, just like your wife.”
“Yes?”
“No, let’s just move on.”
When she thought about it, why hadn’t she thought of it before?
Although the secretly handed down portrait of a white-faced gold-haired woman showed different characteristics in many parts compared to her ancestor named Yuria, her unique facial lines, eyes, and mouth. Unique features had a very similar feel.
What happened?
Just a coincidence?
Or is it just that they have become the same appearance as they have reached the pinnacle of beauty?
I’d like to check it out, but how are you going to do it?
One is frozen with the source of life lost and only keeping her life alive while preventing the condition from worsening.
The other one was friendly to humans no matter how friendly it was, but it was a great monster that it was wise not to run into if possible.
Even if I wanted to meet him, he was not an existence that I could meet just because I wanted to.
“What?!”
Raised his voice, which is really rare for Jincheong.
“No, no matter how hard it is, there is no ship. There are ships that have been under construction for a long time, but it will have to be next spring to be completed, so what can I do?”
Roa’s complexion darkened at the conversation between Jincheong and the sailors.
Things seemed to be going well, but she turned into a wolf in a situation where she seemed to have arrived in the West Continent…
Seeing Roa’s complexion like that, her pain groaned inside her, and her head ached.
“Does this happen often?”
“No, it’s not very rare, but it’s the first time I’ve ever had one completely destroyed like this.”
Roa told him that considering the ship she had been on, she didn’t seem to break that easily, but when she said that her ship often broke like this, she thought Roa was strange.
“Is the boat used here different from the one we boarded?”
“That’s right. It’s only made of wood.”
“Why, wouldn’t this happen if we use the same boat here?”
Jin-Cheong replied with a slightly bitter expression.
“The king doesn’t want to build a boat strong enough to go back and forth with Han in Newre. I’m worried that the nine-tailed fox won’t cross over to the continent again by boat.”
Actually, it’s meaningless. It wasn’t a gumiho that couldn’t come over without a boat, and the reason the gumiho couldn’t come was because of the seal, not the boat.
As long as there was a seal, the nine-tailed fox could not escape from the small continent.
Using the power of the Great Yo-kai against each other and sealing each other with each other’s power, this seal was a huge prison that no one could escape from until only one of the Great Yo-kai was left.
White-faced golden hair is in some sense the most dangerous of the great monsters, but as the weakest monster among the great monsters, it was no exaggeration to say that there was virtually no chance of anything that the king would worry about.
Just in case. Enchanting the Great Yo-kai and killing each other, he might become the last survivor like a fisherman.
However, the Great Yokai, let alone the White Faced Golden Hair, never went out of their territory.
Okay. As far as people knew, it was.
And in a sense, that wasn’t wrong.
At least the ‘body’ didn’t move in its own domain.
Tamamo frowned and glared fiercely at the man in front of her.
“You’re sick of it. You must have said no.”
“Keuhehehe, are you still waiting for Toba to be reborn on that island?”
“…”
My heart is shaking little by little, but I haven’t given up yet.
However, even if he gave up Doba, that was not a reason to accept that snake.
“How foolish. Even with such enormous power and celestial beauty, the only thing you can wish for is a reunion with a relationship that has already died.”
“I don’t want your understanding”
She could feel her heart for the bar hardening even if it was Tamamo at the cunning tongue of that goddamn eight-headed snake.
“Come to me. The only place worthy of you is by my side.”
“Go away. All I want is to show Doba the moment his secret wish comes true.”
I know myself.
Doba, who has gone through reincarnation after reincarnation over such a long period of time, must have already become an existence that cannot even be called Doba.
Even so, this was his own desire.
How resentful he must have been when he died without realizing his own longing and never enjoying the heavenly number.
That’s why, even if I don’t know what Doba in this life is like, I wanted to show it to Doba.
The image of his own secret wish coming true.
“Khehehe, that’s funny. It’s a really well-made miniature garden.”
“Shut up!”
“Isn’t that right? Didn’t you induce that it would be nice to gather good people from the beginning to create a country and grow into a kind and good person through your charm?”
“…”
“Your years just created a very well-crafted miniature garden. It’s just a false, peaceful paradise.”
Know.
The people here don’t want to look bad at Tamamo, so they don’t want to have a bad heart from a young age, and they try hard to be kind.
And thanks to the fact that they gathered all the people with good souls from the beginning and established the country, they know that somewhere in the southern part of the western continent, the country founded by the remaining evil people of Toba is causing a lot of trouble.
Did you say ent-in?
A nation founded by the descendants of the people of Toba in the distant past who had become something that could not even be called human by morbidly encouraging mixed blood with different races.
“A Yo-kai, like a Yo-kai, must be faithful to its own desires.”
“Go away, because this is my desire”
If one day I can hear the praises of the emperor, that alone will take thousands of years.
No, this long wait that has exceeded even 10,000 years will be fully rewarded.
If he loves you again, there will be no greater gift than that.
If that’s the case, I’ll be so happy that even if I die, I won’t have any regrets.
The beauty of the color of the world. Even the life of a youkai that would be immortal if it were not for external factors. A power so great that even dragons couldn’t even use their hands to the extent that it was called a cataclysm.
Nothing was worth it
I just wanted to see his smile once again and be praised by him.
“You know what? Doba seems to have reincarnated only once so far.”
“What?”
“Ku-kyu, are you finally seeing me?”
Tamamo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but struggled to contain his anger.
“Doba… Do you know where Doba was born?”
“Yeah, one of the demons I’m dealing with gave me some good information.”
Thousands of years. Did Doba finally reincarnate for the first time?
“But how!? He hasn’t been reincarnated for so many years?”
“Kuk-kuk…”
“You… Do you know? Where the hell was Doba born?”
At those words, Yamata no Orochi smiled.
“Be mine. Then, even if you commit adultery at least once, I’ll be merciful to you.”
“…Ooh, don’t be ridiculous!”
“To put one thing in perspective, the place where Doba was born is outside the seal.”
At those words, Tamamo flinched.
Out of here?
After waiting for more than 10,000 years, Doba was finally reborn, but he was born on that continent where he couldn’t go?
“Then I must hurry up and kill all of you.”
If you’re determined and enchanted, you might be able to incite the white ghosts and the main bullet and make them impulsive with that damn bastard.
Tamamo felt impatient.
How long has it been since Doba was born?
Human life span is too short. If I wasted my time here, the otherwise short amount of time I could spend with Toba would be even shorter.
No, if I made a mistake, by the time I left this place, Doba might be dead.
“Yes, I won’t even ask you to be mine. Help me. Even if we don’t fight among ourselves, there is a way to get out of here. If you help me, I will be able to break this seal.”
At those words, Tamamo sighed and pondered for a moment.
What will happen to this world if this seal is broken?
If that goddamn serpent were to be released into this world again, this time it would be the end of the world.
If so, the dream of peace and prosperity that Doba so longed for would be gone.
Even with empty words, the world outside was a time of chaos that could not be called a peaceful era, but if that snake was released, a terrible sight that could be called a paradise would unfold even in this mixed world.
Okay…
I want to show it to the Tenno I will meet someday. To brag about him This false paradise made to be praised by him. It’s not what he who created the false world of peace and prosperity that the damn snake called a model garden said, but this was something Toba never wanted.
But… But…
Even so, I missed Toba so much.
Okay. Let’s just listen.
What the hell are you going to do Wouldn’t it be too late to listen and decide what to do?
“Okay, so what should I do? Are you going to destroy the world again?”
Orochimaru’s lips curled into an even more sinister smile.
“If you give me the one that’s in your hands right now, I promise I won’t mess with the royalties like before and won’t bother you anymore.”
“What?”
What?
There’s no way he could make such a good promise. What kind of trick are you doing?
“What do I believe in?”
“Then let’s do it. I swear on my success.”
“…”
Are you really serious?
Clearly, she thought she was missing something, but Tamamo got tired of waiting so long.
She was so thirsty for her longing for Dobah that she seemed to die of hunger.
“What are you supposed to do?”
The snake’s smile gave off a more fishy scent.
