Opening, a Star Cup

- Then tell a story!A country abandoned by the 'lord'!

The story of being turned into hell by demons.

No matter how much you hate, those tears of humiliation will not bring any salvation.at last

The young man finally decided to turn into hell together with those unforgivable sinners.

...Three days have passed since the night of the great battle between Kyoto Daitengu and Abe Seimei.

Due to the disaster caused by the 'storm' driven by the big tengu, countless civilian houses collapsed in the strong wind of the 'feather blade storm'.

Innocents... The screams of the residents have not stopped these days.

This is just a small episode of the current social situation in District 11...

Many people are already numb!But for some people, in this world of hell, their souls become more beautiful and mature.

At noon, when the sun is burning

A beautiful girl in a simple kimono who doesn't fit in with this tragic image is shuttling nearby.

She is helping her master, taking care of the wounded who live in a temporary 'tent'.

'Hospital'?I'm sorry, it's already full there... No matter how you look at it, this country looks like it's about to die!

"...Master! Let me hunt down ghosts! I really don't know how to take care of others!" Just as the two sat down to rest for a while, the girl in kimono suddenly said to the girl beside her.

...That's right, they are Okita Souji and Tono Iori.

A few days ago, because I happened to pass by here, I saw this 'disaster'-like scene-the innocent residents who were crushed under the collapsed ruins, helpless, and howling in pain.

This time at last there was no danger to disturb them, to distract their attention and energy.

The girl carefully felt and observed the "pain" brought to this country and this era after the advent of the "Hundred Ghosts of the Night".

A girl who has never seen this 'hell' seriously...

Tohno Iori was shocked by the tragic scene in his eyes for a moment and the intermittent wailing sounds in his ears, which were more touching than the direct way of screaming.

...Afterwards, Tono Iori voluntarily stayed to help those suffering victims, trying to alleviate their pain as much as possible.

Okita Souji saw all of this, but...

What this kind-hearted girl sees is not exactly the same as the world in the eyes of Tono Iori.

The sakura-colored girl's bright eyes overflowing with light reflect the "flame" of hell brought about by this "era of coexistence of humans and ghosts".

It's different from a simple master... Okita knows;

——If the problem is not fundamentally solved and the source of the 'flame' is extinguished, the world will not change.

however

Crusade against ghosts is only slightly better, but it is not really a way to solve these 'disasters'.

Sakura Saber is very aware of these things in her heart;

But

She was just a killer... probably all she could do was brandish the sword in her hand.

No one is the protagonist in the story, not a hero, they are just human beings and heroic spirits living in this era.

At this time, for swordsmen and executioners...

What I can choose, what I want to do...the only thing is to swing the sword, and then swing the sword again!

boom! !

A loud noise came from the ground, breaking the quiet atmosphere of rest.

The ground in the entire Kyoto area shook like an earthquake.

Before Tono Iori had time to say anything to Okita, she let out a scream.

The next moment, looking down from the sky, you can find that a series of cracks are spreading from the very center of Kyoto to all directions.

An 'earthquake' for no reason happened so suddenly in this afternoon!

Just one of the cracked ground fissures spread to Tono Iori's side, under this violent shaking...

The girl's body slid towards the crack, and Okita immediately reacted, she reached out and grabbed the girl's tender white arm that was exposed outside the sleeve.

"Master!!"

boom! !Facing the sudden crisis, Okita yelled nervously; at the same time, he pulled out his favorite knife 'Kaga Kiyomitsu' tied around his waist and stuck it on the ground to fix his own body that was about to slip.

At this time, the ground seemed to be colliding with each other'continental plates', and the entire ground under Okita Souji's feet was squeezed and tilted.

No, it won't!

Okita's face turned pale...

what!what!what!what!

From the sloping ground, outside

Countless human panicked cries suddenly came from Okita and Iori's ears. Okita looked at where they were, and was about to fall into the huge 'clod' ground in the crack.
