Kitsune In Another World's
Chapter 22 [We Forgive You ]

"All right, enough to get there. If you do it any further, we're the same as him, right? Don't make our position go from victim to perpetrator!"

The body of a girl managed to make hundreds of bodies in front of her submit instantly. I don't know because of which match the girl was with Mio. The girl's body was the only one capable of normal speech and normal movement unlike any other.

TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP

As long as he walked, all the corpses would stop moving and respect him. The corpse had brought a katana with it from the beginning. And quickly...

SLAAASSSHHHHHH

He cut off the Cardinal's head until it slipped from his body. If it is as usual, the Cardinal will regenerate quickly. But the Cardinal died at that time at the hands of the girl because Mio also obeyed her will.

The girl stopped in front of Mio who looked pale due to running out of mana and various other reasons. Seeing Mio doing all that earlier, the girl just smiled.

"It looks like you're back to being yourself, senpai!" said the girl full of smiles.

As one might expect, the girl who made the undead salute instantly was their leader, the first princess of the Amamiya Kingdom, Amamiya Hotaru.

"But that doesn't mean we forgive all your actions just because you've returned to normal and killed the criminal. Don't forget that you killed us with your hands."

Mio did not argue at all. This kitsune girl just silently lowered her head. He did not dare to look at the faces of Hotaru and her people out of guilt and regret. But on the other hand he was relieved because there would be people who took revenge on Amamiya Kingdom on him. Mio doesn't mind being killed or tortured if it's by Hotaru and her people.

"Mio-senpai, why don't you lift your head and look at us?" ask Hotaru.

Mio did not dare, she could imagine a face full of anger, resentment and hatred directed at her and her sisters. Even if the reason was because they controlled the curse, it would still be them who killed the people of Amamiya.

"Then can I assume that you agree with whatever we're going to do to you?" ask Hotaru again.

Mio nodded, she was ready with everything waiting for her. All of that would definitely not be as painful as this inner torture of guilt.

"alright. I've already decided on your punishment."

Mio, "........"

Hotaru firmly raised her sword to Mio's neck. Mio just kept her eyes closed.

"Fifth Youkai, Kitsuna Mio. As one of the Amamiya Royal Family, as well as a direct descendant of the Great Witch. I gave you an order!"

GLEKK

"From now on, live your life as you wish. You no longer need to be tied to this thing called the Amamiya Kingdom anymore. Live on! Find happiness! Then... although it will be difficult.forget us."

"!!?"

Mio was startled, she immediately raised her head as if asking Hotaru for an explanation. At that moment...

He sees all of that. A sincere and warm smile without a single speck of anger, resentment or hatred that he had previously imagined from Hotaru and his people. Therefore Mio's tears flowed without her being able to control.

"Why...?"

"Why?"

"Why!?"

"Why do you forgive me?"

"Why don't you hate me!!?"

Mio's entire emotion broke. Various mixed feelings in his heart. The girl covered her face with her hands so that her cries would not flood.

Hotaru scratched her cheeks awkwardly, she looked towards the people. As if to understand what the princess said, the people nodded their heads. One by one the people of the Amamiya Kingdom came forward.

"Mio-sama.you are a kind-hearted and very strong Youkai-sama. But for me, you're just a teenage girl who bears a heavy burden that doesn't fit your age, even if you live longer than me, but at human age, you're just a 15-year-old," said a samurai uncle who often patrolled with Mio.

"Mio-sama, you are the only Youkai that every time I give food, will make your expression become very happy. Knowing you are like that, makes me as a food maker happy, right?" asked an old woman who owned a restaurant that Mio often visited.

"Gossiping with Mio-sama is fun! We as housewives, will never get bored if Mio-sama has come!!"

"Mio-sama often helps with petty work such as fixing the precarious, looking for children, drying clothes, and more. Until I was often confused, were you really a great Youkai."

"Playing with Mio-sama nee-chan is the most exciting!!! Yes no?!"

"Yes!!!!!"

"If there is Mio-sama nee-chan, everything can be fun!!!!"

"Sa-me.. I am a fan of Mio-sama music!!! There is no music better to hear than your Lyra!!!"

"Mio-sama often protects us from any dangerous monsters and from other races as well!!! For us, you and the other Youkai-sama are our protectors!!!!"

"???????"

Mio was confused, she was suddenly attacked by a series of admiration from her people.

"Why all of a sudden!?"

Hotaru chuckled at seeing Mio like that. But it was not long before he continued his point.

"Mio-senpai.. You asked why we don't hate you and forgive you, right?"

Hotaru turned her body towards the people.

"We hate you and the other Youkai-sama. We can't forgive those of you who killed us that cruel."

NYUUTTT

"......"

"But..."

"?"

"Far before that, we loved you and the other Youkai-sama. We owe you guys so much. We admire your figure. We will not forget everything you have done to us just because of a mistake" Hotaru continued.

Mio stood up with anger. He patted his chest rather strongly.

"Just because!!? You call this all 'just'!?? After all this... You said so!!??"

Seeing that, Hotaru's justification smiled even more.

"Mio-senpai, we've decided everything. Rather than seeing your mistakes at the end, we chose to look at your kindness from the beginning over the past 300 years."

Now Hotaru is back to face Mio with a smile.

"Our targets of hatred, anger and resentment will not be you. Because we saw everything even when we were dead."

"So don't worry, our hatred won't go wrong."

PSSSSSHHHH

Slowly, Hotaru's body and the other folk began to break down again but emit a warm and cool yellowish green light in the eyes.

"!?"

Of course Mio did not let it go, she re-channeled her mana and life energy to the people.

"Stop that! It's orders!!" hotaru Bentak firmly.

"!!!"

Mio could not resist, she stopped instantly as if some magic was holding her back.

The Princess let out a small sigh, "From that just listen to us."

"......"

Mio obeyed the princess, she pulled back her hand, hanging on the arm. The girl still had an extremely wounded expression on her face.

"..... Mio-senpai."

"The Kingdom of Amamiya forgives you and the other Youkai-sama!!!" the cries of the Amamiya people simultaneously.

"!!"

Mio's expression grew even more so, especially because the physical form of the Amamiya people had returned to normal corpses and their green-shining spirits floated in the sky.

"Wait!!! Don't go!!! I will do anything!!!!! Please don't leave me alone!!!!!" mio's screams were very loud and heartbreaking.

None of the people answered, they just smiled and flew higher and higher. Hotaru who stood at the very front of thousands of Amamiya people threw a smile full of expression and mystery.

"Mio-senpai. if you really think of us, please carry out the order I gave you earlier."

"WAIT!!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!!!!!"

"And so, please stop blaming yourself and taking all your sins. Of all people, you're the one who should forgive yourself the most" inner Hotaru right before herself and her people completely disappeared under the moonlight.

"HEAVEN!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ukh...."

"AH!AH!AH!!AH!!AH!!AH!!AH!AH!!AH!AH!!AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mio who was left alone by everyone in the Amamiya Kingdom cried as she could. All the tears she spilled at once. Even the tears she had already let out before could not compare to her cries this time around. Because even though she had been crying for a long time until her tears turned into tears of blood, she did not stop at all.

The words, "We forgive you."

What they said earlier had actually backfired which destroyed Mio's last defense. Since he came to his senses until now, the only reason he had survived despite being shot by millions of arrows of guilt was because he wanted the people of Amamiya himself to kill him. Now that reason has disappeared.

Instead of making Mio want to live well because of their hope, that hope actually makes Mio want to die.

Mio took the katana of the other Hotaru (because the one Mio had brought in at the beginning). Directed the sword to his own neck although initially it was used for the princess's oath of command.

"...... You told me to live as I wanted. But now.my wish is not to live..."

"I'm tired... Hotaru's..."
