Chapter 584: Tong~zi!
But all of this is based on the pain his friends endure and the blood sacrifice that will last forever... and once Asakura goes in, he can never come out again. I can't even regret it afterwards...
Yi Xing drove away the voice and took a painful deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
If the eldest lady doesn't go back to be a human pillar, Asakura will have to bear everything for her. There will always be innocent girls who lose their lives and shed their blood at the gate of hell.
Such a huge price...
Would she want such a rescue?
Yoshiyuki knew Erina's character very well.
The eldest lady will not shirk her responsibilities.
Even if that means eternal pain and suffering.
Even if Asakura actually agreed to help for some reason, Erina wouldn't be happy after being rescued.
And he will not only carry the guilt forever, but he will also be hated by the eldest lady.
...That might be the biggest harm to Erina.
"Sister Shigei...Does master know this rescue method?" Yoshiyuki whispered: "What...does he think?"
"I don't know." Shigei looked at Yoshiyuki quietly: "But I think he has the same idea as you."
"...Master, have you tried to find other solutions? A way that can save the former underworld witch without being so costly..."
"Yes, but it's meaningless. If we could have found it, we would have found it a long time ago." Shigei said this and sighed: "Actually, the feasible window period for using the substitute manbashira is very short. . It can only be done after a period of time after the underworld witch is sacrificed. Not too early, not too late."
Yoshiyuki: "...Because it's too early and the magic circle hasn't asked yet. After it's too late, the underworld miko will be too deeply integrated with the magic circle and unable to escape from the container?"
Shigei: "No. I've already said the reason why it's too early. It's the same as what you just recounted. As for why it's too late and can't be saved, it's because for safety reasons, she can't be allowed to live again. "
Shigei: "Because the time they were sealed in the container was so painful, their resentment towards the human world and the Yida family must have become deeper and deeper. Once they are released, their minds may have been severely distorted, and I don't know how much harm they will cause."
Yoshiyuki: "Then how long is it too late? How can you be sure that they will be distorted after they come out?"
Shigei: "This is really not certain, we can only rely on speculation. But being treated and deceived so cruelly, and living with endless torture every day, I think everyone would be distorted normally."
Shigei: "...In fact, if you have been a human pillar for a long time, so long that even if the memory passes slowly, it will definitely disappear due to the absorption of the magic circle. For example, about two hundred years have passed... then there should be no There’s a problem. The memories no longer exist, and there’s no room for resentment.”
Shigei: "But actually, there is no need to save the Underworld Miko at this stage. Not to mention how many people who know her are still alive, once she enters the process of repeated amnesia and panic due to her situation, Even if I get out, I can only live a completely new life."
Shigei: "...Don't look at me with that look. I said there's no need to save her because the person who misses her is basically gone. Even if that person is still alive, the wound will probably be healed by time. So since there is no one I want to see her no matter the cost, so what’s the point of paying a huge price to save her?”
Shigei: "Okay...that's it. You should understand the current situation."
Shigei: "Since Erina's fate cannot be changed. Then don't leave any regrets and seize the opportunity."
Shigei: "You are wasting too much time and our efforts are in vain."
Shigei: "If nothing else, why do you think you are allowed to live together?"
Yoshiyuki: "...Isn't it to make her have a deeper love for me and make her reluctant to lose everything? In this way, your sacrifice ceremony can suck more nutrients from her!"
Shigei: "...That's not the case."
Yoshiyuki: "Oh...it doesn't matter. No wonder Master has resentment towards the Yida family."
Yoshiyuki: "Why on earth didn't he leave? Is it just because of me and the eldest lady?"
Shigei: "...Yeah. That's really it. Don't doubt your master."
Yoshiyuki: "..."
Yoshiyuki: "Why did you tell me these things just now?"
Yoshiyuki: "Shouldn't it be kept secret?"
Shigei: "I've already said it, little transvestite. You're wasting your time with Erina."
Shigei: "I don't want you to continue to spend your last days in an ordinary way, leaving any regrets."
Shigei: "Moreover, the remaining time may be much shorter than expected."
Shigei: "Although you won't die, once you become a human pillar, your life will be over."
Shigei: "She might not even be able to see her seventeenth birthday."
Shigei: "I actually wanted to say it before, but I was a little hesitant to tell you whether it would ruin your mood."
Shigei: "But seeing that you are even willing to wear women's clothes for Erina, I think you are aware enough and can withstand the pressure of knowing the truth. So I still tell you, let you speed up the pace and play with her as fast as you can. Let’s play them all.”
Yoshiyuki: "Why do you judge women's clothing..."
Yoshiyuki: "...You said don't leave any regrets...How could I not have any regrets?!"
Shigei: "Then let the regrets lessen. Don't regret it every day like your master."
Shigei: "I watched Kazuhiro grow up in front of my eyes, and it really hurts me to be like this now."
Shigei: "...I can't help him anymore."
Shigei: "But at least I can still help you."
Yoshiyuki: "...So you didn't tell Master the truth before his master was captured and prepared for sacrifice."
Yoshiyuki: "Why?"
Shigei: "Because she accidentally overheard the conversation between me and the old man, the head of the family, a few years ago and learned about her fate."
Shigei: "She begged me not to tell He Hong. She was afraid that He Hong would do something stupid."
Shigei: "You won't do anything stupid, right?"
Shigei: "...In the last period of her life, she still couldn't suppress her fear. Although she controlled her fear and didn't speak out, she still instinctively hinted to Kazuhiro, hoping that he would notice something and help her share this fear. Even if it was. Just like a lover, give her physical comfort."
Shigei: "But he is too slow. He thought everything could be done slowly. She is also very bad at expressing emotions and has never been able to take the initiative."
Shigei: "In the end, what is left to the two of them is endless regret."
…
At this time, Frye Village.
Erina and Nao were standing in front of a wooden barrel, staring at it curiously.
Erina: "Beg~ko!"
Nao: "It's a bucket, I guess."
Erina: "It's a bucket."
Erina: "Huh? Why are we talking about buckets!"
Nao: "Oh, it's true."
Nao: "I don't know why, but I just feel like talking about Tongzi!"
Erina: "Barrel desu~"
