Fake Princess
CCCLXXX Chapter
Haruki was silent with both eyes still staring at the old woman, “you want to ignore my words?” Reveal the old woman back to Haruki.
“You were once a mother, weren't you? What would you feel if your little boy, who doesn't understand anything about the world was forced to do what he feared?” Haruki said it very flatly while still staring at the old woman.
“Do you want to make me look like an evil Mother?”
“No, but I'm just positioning myself as a mother to my sisters. They are my responsibility, I will not let them get hurt or scared under my supervision,” Haruki returned to reply to the old woman's words very calmly.
The old woman fell silent, her body moved back and back to lean on the chair she was sitting in, “well, you can do it,” said the old woman by raising her hand.
Haruki nodded his head and then stood up, he turned around to move his legs closer to us, “Cia,” Haruki said as he had kneeled before Cia with one hand touching Cia's bowed head, “kakak, who was not quite right, going to eat this caterpillar for you,” Cia raised her head as Haruki said softly with one hand having grabbed the bowl full of caterpillars lying before her.
Cia as unwillingly looked at Haruki who had directed the bowl of caterpillars was approaching his mouth, “look, it has run out,” said Haruki directed the empty bowl earlier towards Cia who was still as unwilling to look at him. “Can you eat it?” Haruki said softly with his head turned towards me, “I will eat it nii-chan,” I said as my two eyes unintentionally stared at his trembling lips.
“You sure?” He asked once more, without answering him .. I immediately grabbed the bowl full of my caterpillars, I gave it a quick approach to my lips. I raised my head up with my mouth slightly open, my tears came out unconsciously as I felt the crowd of caterpillars moving inside my mouth. My body goosebumps instantly as the caterpillars move tickling my entire mouth.
Imagine the gum, Sachi. Imagine what's in your mouth is gum.
I closed my eyes again, my mouth moving back slowly breaking the body of the caterpillar that was approaching my teeth. Sticky, slimy, mixed sweetness filled my mouth. I lift up my hand rubbing my right cheek as I feel my tears falling down there.
“Sa-chan, are you okay?” Haruki's voice rang out again, I opened my eyes to glance at his reflection on the ground.
I wanted to talk, but somehow .. My lips refused to open.
My face lifted looking at Haruki, my “, well.” My words stopped with one of my hands moving to cover my mouth. I raised my head back to look at the sky, the stronger my palm had been at my mouth as I felt my entire stomach spinning. I took a strong gulp of my own saliva before I looked back at Haruki who was still riled up at me.
I looked away, trying to avoid her gaze. I lifted my hand rubbing the sweat that filled my forehead as I heard the sound of breathing from beside my body, my eyes were raised again to return the old woman's gaze that directed her eyes towards me with a smile that perverted at the end of her lips.
“It was river water mixed with blood from the residents,” he said by raising his other hand, I stared at the circular leaf ties on the old woman's wrist, there were also circular leaf ties on the wrists of other residents as I moved my head glancing towards them.
“Blood?” My murmurs slowly followed my two eyes towards the red bamboo glass filled with water before me.
I glanced back at Haruki who had grabbed the bamboo glass Cia had in front of him, the glass was directed by Haruki approaching his lips while drinking the water in the glass. My eyes fell on the jakun moving up and down as he drank the water followed by the red water that flowed slightly at the end of his lips.
Haruki lowered his head with one side of his hand rubbing his lips, he glanced at me as his hand again placed the bamboo glass he held onto the ground. I threw away my eyes avoiding the glare of his eyes followed by both of my hands grabbing the bamboo glass that was in front of me. A fishy smell, instantly pierced my nose as I brought my nose closer to the red water.
Back, I slightly distanced the glass earlier as the characteristic fishy smell of blood produced stirred up my stomach contents. My eyes glanced slightly at Izumi who had lowered the bamboo glass she was holding away from her mouth, also visible.
I looked back at the glass I was still holding, my grip on the bamboo glass grew stronger as I stared at Haruki who had drunk his second glass. Slowly, I moved the bamboo glass back to my lips.
You've been drinking Kou's blood a few times, Sachi. So, do it as usual!
I slightly lifted the cup up as the tip of the cup touched my lips, a fishy taste immediately filled my mouth as the blood began to flow throughout my oral cavity. Both of my eyes closed involuntarily as the blood water filled my mouth, I tried not to think of the fishy smell that disturbed my stomach.
My shoulders goosebumps as the water in my mouth slowly flows through my throat. When I drank Kou's blood, even though it was still fishy. I bowed by taking a little bit of my saliva out. My teeth swept across the surface of my tongue.
Really bad, it's really a nightmare.
I raised my face straight ahead again, my eyes glancing towards Haruki, Izumi, Lux and also Eneas who had set their sights on me. My eyelids blinked and then bowed to look at the rest of the blood water in the bamboo glass that I held tightly.
The blood water in the bamboo flowed slowly back in my mouth, small clots that I did not know what it was. I closed my eyes, the warmer the water made the fishy taste of the blood in it stronger.
“You all have done well,” the voice of the old woman is heard again when I have returned bowed after draining the blood water they provide, “after that, we will do the next ceremony procession, then,” the heat is back heard in my ear.
