59 Episode 58

Kanade: "Why are you playing in such a place? Hi-hi-hi, someone who asks something strange."

An old man playing intently in the middle of Biwa National Cemetery said, and showed yellow teeth.

Both eyes are white and cloudy, and probably nothing.

Blind, "Whatever this old stomach is doing, it has nothing to do with you."

The old man played Beben and Biwa while saying.

Clothes with noticeable wormholes, thin limbs like dead trees.

If you weren't playing the biwa, you might have mistaken it as a tramp or a beggar.

According to officials who manage the cemetery, the old man has been playing "unrequisite" for more than a year, playing songs that are unheard of in the vast national cemetery.

"I don't have a great reason. If you're strong, you can't just leave it.

"Can't you leave it?"

Zhen: "I celebrate the devastating god with music and purify the evil spirits that harm others, but it is my life.

"... Is there a demon in this graveyard?"

"Baboon, that's not true. However, with such a cemetery, many wander without being able to form a Buddha. The monk is pointing them to the position of the Pure Land. If you stay in this world, it can be a demon. ''

After saying that, the old man laughed with a shrill voice.

"Baboon! But I can't prove it. It's a crazy activity from the side. How long was it when you talked to people?"

The old man continues his words while cleverly playing the strings with both hands.

The smooth hands that do not fit the year seem to have reached a level that could not be reached by one or two years of training.

I don't know if you're going to calm the gods or exorcise the evil spirits, but it's true that you're living on playing music.

I was near the tomb of the Dukes of Dragnaut, so I asked him if he was right.

"Old man, actually, I want to ask you another question. Are you sure?"

"Hey, what is it?"

"Last night, was there no suspicious person or spirit in this cemetery?"

Ask for information at the time Claudia fell.

The old man shook his head.

"I can't really tell you about this, but ... no, there was one person who was terribly suspicious."

"Who was it?"

"Now, I'm a monk in front of you."

The old man smiled with a smile.

Kanade: "I'm playing a song alone at the graveyard at such a time.

While listening to the other person's laughter, they become frowning without knowing.

Apparently the other side is kidding me. It was when I gave up trying to hear something useful.

"... Who did your acquaintance curse?"

The voice of the old man came in like a slippery slip.

I feel as though I have read my heart, and my alertness rises.

"... Why did you think so?"

Don't go crazy, asking if there were no suspicious people in the graveyard where the sun was falling. In addition, I couldn't think of anything but exploring the curse, such as minding the movement of the spirit. Your friend is cursed, even though he was cursed, so he thought he might have been cursed. "

"It's stunning."

"Baboon, praise for praise. What is a bow, but let's lend this wisdom of the old man and proceed. It has been flowing to the royal city for more than a year. `` Blind people have a way of wisdom of blind people. ''

"I would like to hear that by all means."

In response, I asked the old man and gave him the information of the cursed opponent-the name of Claudia Dragnaut.

It is already known to the city of Ishka that Duke Dragnaught's daughter has fallen into a spell and the Duke family is working hard to solve it. I thought there was no need to hide it now.

Then, for the first time today, a serious thing appeared on the face of the old man who heard it.

"... I guess the connection is different. What do you know about that girl?"

"Muh? Do you know Claudia?"

"I said earlier," When was this the first time you talked to a person? "Before you, the last person I spoke to was a daughter named Claudia. `` I talked to me without fear, and when I heard this story, I showed no doubt and said, 'Thank you for purifying the place where my mother sleeps.'

The old man behaved in a way that lifted the heavens.

Meeting "I traveled around the continent until this year, but this was my first time singing with a daughter like that. I remember that no matter how. It's a terrible thing, but it's something that rewards you, like a human. "

The sound of the biwa, which has been playing without stopping since the beginning of the previous session, is quickly accelerated.

"The true fear is not in the spirit, but in the people. If you want to break the curse, let us say that you should look at people, not spirits."

"Do you want to find out who was cursed, not what you cursed?"

Collection: "Good morning, good. When people live, there is a shadow. Seeing others, the cursed heart comes from that shadow. No matter how noble man, escape from this shadow It's a shame, no matter if you're friends or friends or parents and siblings. "

"... Would you say that there is a curse of Claudia nearby?"

Skill: "Baboon. I suppose it's impossible. But that's the person. There are so many stories about killing parents and killing children. If you become a landlord like Drag Note, Let's create a strong shadow between our immediate family. ''

"Mu ..."

"There are two daughters who are in the hands of Drag Note. The eldest daughter is Astrid, the second daughter is Claudia. The eldest daughter remains to take over the house, and the second daughter hears that she will be married to the prince to be the future queen. But if she only took over her house, she couldn't have been the second daughter, and she decided that her future queen would have to be her sister, and she would have to take care of her little sister. , And the priest rejects it. ''

"... Sister cursed her sister?"

"It's easier to curse than anyone because you're closer than anyone. Don't you think it's easier to plant a sick? I've never heard of a spell, so I'm convinced that the source that curses her is the shadow lurking in her sister. "

The old man affirms while echoing the sound of the biwa.

When I heard that, I nodded.

I felt like I got an unexpected clue at the National Cemetery, which came to my heart as a spoiler.
