Chapter 86 Eternal
Chapter 87 Eternal
From then on, Chiyo disguised herself as a boy and wandered around Kaguya's residence every day, just like the men who came for Kaguya's beauty.
From those people's mouths, she also heard more stories about Princess Kaguya.
It is said that Princess Kaguya was born from bamboo and is the child of God. It only takes one night to grow from a human to a girl. It is said that she is more beautiful than the bright moon in the night sky, and the light she emits can even overshadow the bright moon, making her radiant.
But when I asked them, no one had actually seen Kaguya. They were all rejected like me, and they could only rely on wandering here every day, reciting poems and other methods to try to attract Kaguya.
Attention.
But Chiyo was different. Relying on her child's size, she finally found a loophole under the wall one night, just enough for her to get through.
Will Kaguya come out to admire the moon on a night like this when the moon is sparse?
With such expectations, Chiyo got through the hole and finally got his wish to see the woman who changed his life.
Under the bright moon in the night sky, she is more beautiful than the bright moon. It seems as if there is light covering her whole body, a girl who is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
But at the same time, there is also a complex emotion rising in Chiyo's heart. Is it resentment? Resentment that she indirectly killed his father? But it was his father who brought the blame on himself.
Maybe it was jealousy, maybe it was resentment, but in short, after Chiyo, they often used that loophole to spy on the woman named Kaguya.
Occasionally, he would put bugs and frogs in to try to tease, no, to take revenge, to take revenge on that woman, at least that’s how Chiyo felt.
But there is always a time when he is discovered. In another secret trick, Chiyo was caught by Kaguya.
"Ah...what, it turns out to be a little girl."
Chiyo's hand was caught by Kaguya, and she was unable to move in the panic of being caught. She could only watch Kaguya look at him with her eyes as deep as a pool of water.
"Although I sometimes attract the resentment of women, at your age it's a bit too early."
After looking at Chiyo carefully, Kaguya asked:
"Kid, what's your name? You're harassed like this every time, and I won't let you off lightly."
Name? Chiyo wanted to muster up the courage to tell her loudly that she was the daughter of Fujiwara Fujiwara, and her surname was Fujiwara, but what about her name? She had always thought she was being called something contemptuous, so there was no name she could call herself.
The change in her mind at that moment was captured by Kaguya, her tone suddenly became gentle, and the moonlight reflected in her bottomless pupils.
"Do you hate me? If you hate me, why not kill me?"
"Kill you?"
Chiyo was shocked by her words. No matter how complicated her heart was, she had never thought of killing people.
"That's right, kill me. If you hate me, why not just kill me, okay?"
As he spoke, Chiyo watched Kaguya take out a dagger from her clothes, put it in Chiyo's hand, and helped her hold the handle.
"Here, heart, here."
Guiding Chiyo to point the hilt of the knife at her heart, the girl's brain, already shocked by this sudden behavior, was in chaos, and she obeyed her hand movements without any resistance.
"Come on, press it up, and then stab it in with one breath."
"Wait...wait a minute! Why...why do you want me to kill you?"
At the moment when the stabbing was about to take place, the girl finally recovered and was trembling and unable to strike.
"Why? If you stab it, you will understand."
After a moment's hesitation, under the guidance of Kaguya's hand, the dagger had already penetrated into her heart. Blood overflowed from her clothes, and her long hair was as bright as ink. At this moment, the girl's eyes were as bright red as blood.
Killed? What's going on?
The feeling of the dagger piercing the human body, the blood constantly spilling out, and the pungent smell of blood, all her five senses told her that this was real.
"No...no! I didn't do it...it was her...it wasn't me who killed...it wasn't me!"
The girl, who was so excited by the situation in front of her, screamed in disbelief, but was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"It's so noisy that it will wake up everyone else."
Kaguya, who was supposed to be dead, stretched out her hand and grabbed the skirt of her clothes, with unwiped blood still remaining on the corner of her mouth.
"How? You shouldn't..."
"He is dead, he is indeed dead." Kaguya stood up and raised a smile that Chiyo couldn't understand.
"But I can't die, kid. I am an eternal existence. How can you really kill me?"
After untying the skirt of her clothes, the wound left by the dagger was still there on the snow-white body. Kaguya opened it with her fingers as if there was no pain. The texture of the muscles and the blood-red heart still beating inside,
All presented before Chiyo's eyes.
"Remember this eternity..."
Finally, unable to bear the fear in his heart any longer, Chiyo rushed out of the door.
"So what you're saying is that Kaguya's use of this method has caused a huge psychological shadow on your young mind?"
Jingu couldn't help but interjected, this behavior is indeed like that of that bad guy who enjoys playing with others.
"That's not the problem! Don't interrupt all the time. Just listen quietly and let me continue."
Chiyo complained dissatisfiedly, then paused as if searching for a feeling, and continued:
"After escaping from there, no matter how I ran away, I couldn't forget that scene. It was like a nightmare. Kaguya's blood-stained appearance has always been engraved in my memory. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't forget it."
"But at the same time, I felt a strange hatred. If eternity is her pride, what if I also become an eternal existence?"
Chiyo closed her eyes, as if reviewing her original decision, while Jingu was thoughtful.
"So you finally got the elixir she left behind?"
"That's right. I don't know if she did it on purpose. When I followed the team holding the elixir up to Mount Fuji, I seemed to look at her figure, like the moonlight."
"When I opened my eyes again, I found myself mixed up in the team burning the elixir. When the elixir was finally thrown into the crater, it fell together with the elixir."
Speaking of this, Chiyo couldn't help but sparks burst out from her body, as if she had thought of something.
"I did get the elixir as I wished, but the price was that I was burned in the crater for nearly three hundred years. I was burning every moment, and I would be resurrected after death. After resurrection, I would continue to die, and it would repeat again and again.
."
Chiyo stretched out her hand, and flames burned along her arms. The flames burning in her body every moment were proof of this pain.
"From that moment on, I understood that eternal life is eternal purgatory with no escape."
