Chapter 85 – Dominating Plays
The pain of tearing skin and breaking bones, the dust of debris entering your lungs.
These were the things I could feel at this moment as I was blind.
Debris of concrete and lumber cascades over me, but it doesn’t hurt.
My body has been numb for a long time, and I am dying now.
“Oh, that’s true… Harumu-san? Can you still hear it? Now stop sticking the knife in~
Just tell me where the mask is and you too can become my mother’s daughter! You can get top honors just like us!”
“Stop it, Noah. This woman is a pitiful woman who was brainwashed by Yumekawa and Kaede.
There is no way that a young fox who has gone blind can understand her mother’s love and will.”
“…”
The footprints of two people lightly landed in front of me, covered in blood.
A soft feather falling from the sky brushes against my cheek and lands on the floor.
Two people, Isabelle and Agent Kwon Noah, who took care of themselves in Korea, became saints and attacked me.
I don’t know what happened, or why the mansion was attacked, but…
What is certain is that the mastermind behind all of this is ‘something that occupies one body’.
They lost their souls to that being and became corrupt slaves.
They refer to their filthy inner self as ‘honor’ and as ‘mother’s love’.
Also, what Mother said was right. How pitiful to be a saint——
‘You are the same.’
…
Yes?
‘Yumeka and Harumu, you are no different from those saints.’
“…No…”
“Um, sis? Harumu-san, you’re still moving… Shall we stop now?”
“…She is already half-dead. After taking her to her mother and turning her into a saint,
It will be useful if you find out where the mask is and use it as your mother’s sword. The movement was pretty good——”
“No, no… I, Harumu, are loved by my mother and older brother…
Harumu loves everyone… I am loved…! I, I…!”
The familiar sound echoing in my head, the vibrating sound that seems to imitate a voice, vomits out pain.
“I, Harumu, are loved, love, are you? Are you?”

It is said that my ancestor was one of the best doctors and pharmacists in Japan.
A genius with wealth, fame, women and numerous disciples, a freshman in medicine.
My great-great-grandfather, who enjoyed life without lacking anything, met them.
A monster in the form of a woman who was extracting the spirit from a skinny man.
Although he was an ancestor who gave up even his usual solemn appearance and ran away,
In the first place, it was impossible to escape from those monsters that were out of the human frame.
In the end, the ancestor waited for the same end as the withered man,
A swordsman who appeared with his back to the moonlight and a swordsman who defeated the monster using a rare matchlock gun saved his ancestors.
The ancestor hugged the prosecutor and thanked him, and thanks to that, he was able to find out his identity.
Although he was dressed as a man, he was stronger than a man, but the true identity of the swordsman was a woman.
The female prosecutor said—
We are the hunters of those who have fallen into greed and become monsters.
This was a job that only women could do, and if a man grabbed a sword, everyone could be in danger, so it was an inevitable choice.
It is said that the ancestor fell in love with the female swordsman’s strength, beauty, and noble spirit.
So he said that his ancestors supported female prosecutors and organizations with his financial resources,
In the end, Seonjo, who won the female prosecutor’s heart, got married and lived happily for a long time…
However, women who were born with the ancestor’s blood could not be happy.
What the ancestors promised to the organization was food and medicine, support from the councilors, and ‘training hunters’.
Seonjo made his many concubines have children of his own, and among them he took a girl with superior talent.
He put the shackles of ‘duty of the sword’ on the child, and raised her as a doll to fight in place of her beloved female swordsman.
The children born with sword duty are all short-lived, pitiful children who never received true love.
The same goes for Yumeka and Kaede, and it also refers to you, Yumeka and Harumu.
The poor child who mistook the contempt and persecution he had received for love,
Poor child who has split her mind with so much pain and locked her half of herself in my happy childhood,
Oh, and the eye so lost by the hand of her loving mother.
A mother who implanted monster powers into her daughter by exploiting her mask to be sealed, in order to make the best swordsman.
Her mother worried that the enemy who would fight many enemies as she grew up would turn into a saint and tarnish her own reputation.
Her daughter lost her eyes after drinking the poison, which was made by her ugly old mother, mistaking it for love. She is indeed a foolish mother and daughter.
Human beings have the fun of being so stupid in front of desire.
Your brother, who now has me, is obsessed with that ‘love’ and commits childish things—
Very pleasant

“Oh, you shouldn’t have been a little gentle… Isn’t this dead?”
Who is this older sister pushing Harumu’s shoulder with her foot? I want to lift her head, but I can’t.
Are you sick, mom? One? I’m in pain… I’m in so much pain, why isn’t anyone helping me?
…
I understand now. I was born with a life where I couldn’t receive love in the first place.
What does that mean? Harumu… Harumu loves her mother, her father, and even her older brothers?
No, no. I couldn’t love, and I couldn’t accept. That’s greed
No! Harumu, her grown-up, is wrong! She said the good old man in the dream said!
…That’s right, the dream that a certain man read a fairy tale to… Hehe… It was really warm…
The story of a wonderful prince coming down from the sky and saving the princess.
Yes, just like in that play, one day a prince will come to save Harumu… The uncle said that!
Do princes and princesses love each other, get married and live happily? Harumu also wants to meet a kind prince soon!
That’s right… That’s why I want to get married, give birth to a beautiful daughter, and raise her with love.
I will be very happy. Right?
Yes, I must have been very happy.
“Why are you laughing so badly…? Isabelle, grab Noah Harumu.
To be my daughter… It’s too dirty, so let’s just suck out her memory and kill her whole soul.”
“Yes, as ordered.”
“Yes, Mother!”
A rough hand grabbing and lifting a completely broken, tattered arm,
A being speaking with one voice raises a hand to my head. It’s really over.
Harumu, was it helpful to people?
Most of the people in the mansion must have evacuated while I was fighting. We saved it.
Thank god.
“Then now… If you find out the location of the mask, you have the authority to create a body…!”
Closing his already half-closed eyes, Harumu prepares to go to the land of dreams——
Whoa—— boom——!!
“Aww, fuck!!”
“…Nonsense…”
The wind blowing from the right with a tremendous sound… Shibaru…? A man’s voice shouted…
The ceiling collapses and the person above it seems to fall…!
Is there anyone who hasn’t been able to evacuate yet…! Now my body is at its limit, what should I do…
“…How do you…”
“Ah, ah… Write…! Wait a minute, I hit my back on the corner…!!”
…?
The strength drains from the hands of the saints who were holding my arms.
And something in front of me is lowering its hand from above his head and looking back at the man’s voice.
“…Isabelle!!”
“Yes, Mother!!”
“Wait a minute, you’re very impatient.
Well, so you slapped me on the back of the head, didn’t you?”
Something howling in a voice full of anger, fear, and alertness.
As soon as she heard that cry, Isabella-san rushes at the man’s voice, no way…!
“Go to sleep.”
“Sleep. Sleep. Uh. La.”
Booung–
“Ugh?!”
“Kyaaa?!”
“What’s wrong…?”
The tremendous pressure that radiated from the direction the man’s voice came from, no, this…
I felt it from my mother… It is the ‘power of dominance’… The power to force others to obey…
There is something that makes a man’s desire come true, copying his words literally.
It is in the hands of a man that radiates such tremendous power.
“…Ah, uh…”
Fluttering–
Isabel, who heard that ‘order’ right in front of her nose, could no longer hear her voice or footsteps.
“… Isabelle, Noah… Who else did you steal?”
“…Ha, haha…! You’re so arrogant that you just picked up a new mask and signed a contract!
As expected, that big desire doesn’t suit you…! Make sure that desire is mine—”
“Answer me.”
“V. Answer. Ha. La.”
Buuuuung——!!
“I, all the women who have become saints with my own power have already become my saints…!”
“Hi-go… Of course it is, right? It’s not that difficult to overwrite control…
When Hye-mi noona, Yun Sol-i, mother Isabel, Luna… Ah, Kwon No-ah, you wait there.”
“Hey?!”
What the hell is going on? Which man, the man who fell from the ceiling is playing tricks on the monster…?
“Isabel and you are going to get scolded a little bit this time.
Leave the owner alone and fall for an inanimate object that is not even a person?”
“Everything, you’re not my master anymore?! I’m my mother’s daughter!
You, who dared to insult Mother as an inanimate object on the subject of a worn-out chess piece…!”
“Temporarily expunge personality.”
“Person. Gyeok. Day. Poetry. Horse. Cow.”
“Condemn———…”
“Ah————…”
…
…
…
…
…
“…It’s all overturned. Targeting isn’t good yet. Let’s get in sync, okay?”
“That. Thing. U. Week. Of. Share.”
“This bastard is already short on words… Huh?”
“Ooh. Week. This. Yeo. Now. Porridge. A. Everything.”
“No, I won’t die. There’s something I said to this guy… I said something, so I have to take responsibility.”
“I did. I gave it. Don. Say? Eh. My? Uh. D. Suh?”
“Once upon a time, in a dream.”
“Jung. Shin. I. Gone. Gun.”
“Fuck you.”
