Chapter 583: Don’t Have Any Regrets

"After listening to this, do you understand why you kept it a secret from Erina?"

After Imamura Shigei finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards Yoshiyuki, who still didn't want her to see his face.

He was covering his eyes with one hand.

The other hand was supported on the wall.

It seems that without its support, the whole person will be unable to stand firm and just slide down.

"You said there is no need for blood sacrifice, and you call this a reform ceremony..." Yoshiyuki suppressed his tears, his tone full of resentment: "It's just more cruel than before, right?!"

"...Yeah. But it can save a life. This cannot be denied."

"You're already so miserable that you can't even wish for death. What's the use of keeping one life?! I can't even imagine the pain! Why can you be so cruel?!"

"...I know you want to vent your anger, and all you say are angry words." Imamura Shiui looked at Yoshiyuki's back and whispered: "You also know very well that it's not that we want to be so cruel, but that we can only do this. ?”

Shigei: "Time will solve everything. When Erina gradually forgets you and everything in the world, she won't feel so painful."

Yi Xing remained silent, just wiping his tears.

What Shigei just said hurt his heart even more.

The eldest lady will not only be separated from him and suffer forever for the sacrifice... but she will also slowly forget about him.

Even though he could no longer see Erina, he also hoped that he could live in the heart of the eldest lady and be remembered by her forever.

...but that's impossible.

Erina will forget about him.

...The moment he realized this, he felt his soul trembling with pain.

It was a bone-chilling chill.

Maybe when we can't meet again...

...Whether the eldest lady thinks he is a stranger is not important at all.

But he doesn't want this.

...He doesn't want to be forgotten by Erina.

What was killed was not just the righteous deeds in the eldest lady’s heart.

It will also make Yoshiyuki feel that his whole self will die with it.

"Shiuyi... you just mentioned specifically that the underworld shrine maiden can save a life." Yoshiyuki tried to calm down and asked the question with difficulty in a tearful tone: "That means there is some improvement, right? "

Shigei: "..."

Shigei: "Yes, there is, but it's no different than nothing."

Shigei: "You should be relieved after listening to this."

Yoshiyuki: "Since you have it, tell me quickly!"

Yoshiyuki: "I'm willing to bear any price!"

Shigei: "...I know. But that's just the price for you."

Shigei: "You are even willing to make yourself a human pillar. You just want her to live well."

Yoshiyuki: "Is that okay?!"

Shigei: "You like her so much that losing Erina is much more painful than letting you die, so if I could, I would have mentioned it to you a few years ago."

Shigei: "But unfortunately, no."

Shigei: "I know what you want to ask. It's impossible to go in with her and serve as a human pillar. That would break the seal."

Shigei: "Now, what I want to tell you is that there is no way to bring back Erina, who became a jinbashira."

Shigei: "The price is very high. In the best case, individual girls will be required to serve as sacrifices and serve as human pillars for her. In more cases, it may take five or six people. The stability of the seal will be reduced during the replacement process. , and the person who was replaced will never have a chance to come out."

Shigei: "The substitute cannot directly replace the Underworld Miko and be sealed into the container. The Underworld Miko must be used as a human pillar for a period of time to stabilize the magic circle before a new sacrifice can be replaced."

Shigei: "In addition, after completing the replacement ceremony, you must find other girls for blood sacrifices regularly. And it will never end."

Shigei: "The blood sacrifice sacrifice is not chosen randomly. For example, Chia Sakurayuki, Mayu Yida, and many others around you will do."

Shigei: "But the human pillar sacrifice to fill Erina's position is very difficult to find and must meet various stringent conditions."

Yoshiyuki: "...What are the conditions?"

Shigei: "A lot. It depends on the compatibility of the soul with Erina and the ritual, the health level, the quality of the flesh and blood, whether the heart is sunny enough, whether the life so far is full of beautiful memories, etc... One of the requirements is particularly difficult to meet. , it just requires special blood..."

Shigei: "...You haven't practiced blood magic, so I'll keep it simple. It's the type I like to drink the most."

Shigei: "That is, Asakura Sachiko's blood. She is a qualified sacrifice."

Yoshiyuki: "What...?"

Yoshiyuki: "...Wait! Why do you know? Didn't you just drink her blood?"

Shigei: "I'll just take a look at the other conditions and chat with her to confirm them."

Shigei: "...What I said above is not accurate. Let me be more specific - she is the only known child who can continue to be a human pillar for Erina."

Yoshiyuki: "But, does the owner of the blood you bought online also...?

Shigei: "The blood I buy online is only the type I like to drink. The only one that suits my taste best is the scarf ninja type. The last time I encountered food as delicious as hers was a long time ago."

Shigei: "How are you, little transvestite? Do you understand what I mean?"

Shigei: "There is indeed a chance to rescue her, but that means there is no chance. So we can give up. It's basically the same as becoming a human pillar and never coming out again."

Shigei: "After all, are you the kind of person who is willing to let your friends suffer forever for the woman you like?"

Shigei: "I don't think so."

Shigei: "Whether it's forcing Asakura to be sacrificed, or begging her with an incredibly thick skin, you probably won't be able to do it."

Shigei: "Also, don't forget that once Erina is replaced, the blood sacrifice cannot stop."

Shigei: "...No one will die voluntarily. That is basically the same as having to go out to arrest, or buy innocent sacrifices and come back to kill them. All this is just to save a woman."

Shigei: "You should understand this. Right? Then forget about this selfish plan..."

Yoshiyuki gritted his teeth and fell into silence.

He felt disgusted and horrified at himself for not rejecting this method immediately.

For a moment, he actually had the idea of ​​forcibly capturing Asakura to serve as a human pillar.

How can I do this? !

No matter how shameless a scum is, he can't do such a thing, right? !

I shouldn’t even think about such a thing! Otherwise, you can’t even remember my name!

Yi Xing felt ashamed of himself for having evil thoughts in that moment.

While feeling extremely guilty and silently apologizing to Asakura, I also felt shuddering.

Could it be that my love for the eldest lady has reached the point where I have no principles?

If I really do something like that, I will regret and blame myself for the rest of my life...

How much less painful is that than not being able to return to the eldest lady?

Another voice suddenly sounded in his heart.

"But that can at least save the eldest lady."
