Divine Protection: The Pride System

Episode 31: The Sadness of a Prostitute

In the forest there was a sound of flat and stiff laughter, but there was sadness and madness in the sound of laughter.

“Aaaa, ahaha, ahahaha.”.

A woman with a gloomy face and eyes that did not emit life was laughing under the moonlight which was only half a part.

Her silhouette was as beautiful as the work of the god himself, having long hair as bright blue as the blue sky above the clouds.

In addition, she also had nine extremely beautiful and delicate fox tails.

Wearing the clothes of the temple girl who displayed her sexual body, the woman continued to laugh stiffly full of despair.

“Ahaha, ahahaha, ahahahaha.”.

It was too pitiful to see her already slumped like that, her body trembling in a blanket of true fear.

His mind was already crushed, his lungs were hard to get a good breath, he wanted to cry, but his pride refused to cry.

He was just curled up in the filled with sadness, in both of his hands he was holding onto someone's body.

The body had been destroyed until it lost its human form, it was the corpse of its beloved child.

His deep sadness lay with the corpse of the woman in his hand.

Shaking, trembling, trembling, and trembling, his body continued to tremble unable to withstand the grief of his family's death.

Her beautiful face had worn off and was replaced with a pale face that was only filled with despair.

He failed, he failed to protect his family. Again, the woman failed to protect her family.

The trauma of his past comes back again and destroys him.

“Why... Why did this happen to me? What mistake?... Please, tell me, where is my fault?”

The nine-tailed fox woman continued to curse herself, how weak she was.

Even though he was a majestic being, now he was truly extremely pitiful.

Suffering, being in pain, being miserable, that's part of life. As long as you are a living being, then you will experience it.

So how do you get back up? As long as you get the answer, then you'll be fine.

But, what about people who don't get the answer? What do they have to do?

Someone has to help them, right?

Someone has to tell them, right?

There has to be someone on their side, right?

Encourage them, support them, and help them. That way someone can survive the suffering.

But what about the woman, is there someone who can encourage her?

What about Kizuna, is there someone who can support her?

What about that whore, is there someone who can continue to be by her side?

No, I don't think there is. She was just a woman who had given her body to any man who wanted it.

Is he worth saving? He's just a tool, does he deserve happiness?

If you consider all the deeds Kizuna did, then he will be clarified as someone who is not worth saving.

It was a despair that only the woman herself could understand.

“Hmm~ Rogant, can he really be useful?”

“Don't worry about its usefulness, it's really very useful.”

“Well, fine, if you say so. But, now what should we do?”

“Huft~ Take it easy, however I just have to prevent him from killing himself.”

There was the voice of someone other than himself, the voice came from the two silhouettes that were in front of him.

A white-haired young man and a black-haired little girl, Kizuna knew who they were.

But, he no longer had the strength to think about it. Everything felt so insignificant to him.

Now that he needed to think about the future he was going through, what would happen to him in the future?

As Kizuna thought about that, her eyes only grew grim. He ended up thinking nothing.

His body was too tired and sick, he felt like he was on a cold bed.

His body was too cold, even though he had already enveloped himself with his reed tail...

... He still feels cold.

His body could not stop trembling and trembling, this was the end of him.

This was the end of his story as a majestic being, really very pitiful.

And then, after he thought about it. Suddenly a thought came to his mind.

“Oh, maybe I better end myself here.”

“It's a shame, but I won't let that happen. You still have to do something for me.”

A soft voice immediately entered his ears. Hearing that, his ears and tail reacted slightly to the sound.

His head wanted to see the source of the voice, but he did not have enough energy to do so.

But suddenly his head was forcibly moved by someone, his gaze instantly catching someone's face.

He was a young man with plain white hair that shone like the moon in the night sky.

His black eyes that were filled with terror of fear were currently staring at the gloomy eyes of Kizuna's.

Then a gentle smile that looks creepy to anyone who knows its true nature.

Kizuna's body instantly trembled more than before, she gasped in shock as the young man looked at her.

The young man looked at her, and moved his lips stringing up a few words.

“You have failed.”

The statement made Kizuna's eyes widen in despair, her pupils shrinking illustrating her current fear.

His right hand instantly he moved and brushed off the hand of the young man who was holding his chin.

“You! What do you know about me?! L'm... I have not failed at all!”

“No. You're failing. Kizuna Miko has failed to protect her family and falls into despair, don't you think?”

The young man straightened his body, put both his hands on either side of his pants pocket and looked straight at Kizuna who was curled up on the ground.

The gentle smile from the young man made Kizuna's body completely unable to stop trembling in fear.

Then the merciless words thrown by the young man, made Kizuna's heart even more sick and sick.

“You failed, you failed to protect your family from me. Truly a poor creature.”

“Not! Indeed I failed to protect one member of my family, but the next—”

“Next you will still fail. You will fail, fail, fail, and continue to fail. Ahaha, really a pathetic creature.”

Kizuna took her breath, her body instantly frozen still, her mouth immediately locked tightly.

He didn't know what to argue with him anymore. His failure has taken away all his freedom.

However, the young man remained mercilessly making Kizuna suffer even more and suffer.

His smile grew wider as if he was enjoying the current situation.

“Well, Kizuna-chan. I'll give you some good words. Listen carefully, do you understand?”

The words made Kizuna's entire body, mind, and internal organs scream in fear.

But, he still did not want to hear it. She always yelled at him, that he would be fine.

But now the young man will say. A sentence that he really did not want to hear at this moment.

How cruel the young man was, why would he want to corner himself to this extent. What does he really want?

Even though she has done something bad, she is still a woman. Why would he have to suffer like this?

Can't she get something like other women in general?

Like happiness, even if it is very small. But he really wanted it.

He wanted someone to love him like a woman in general, but he was always confused. Does he deserve to be loved?

Someone like her, does she have the right to such happiness? Is there a man out there who can love himself for who he is?

Wh why? Why did he have to experience all this? Since when did he break down and choose a path like this?

If now he heard the sentence that he had been thinking about, but he continued to deny.

Can he keep his mind up and say that everything is fine?

No, it's not possible. He would be crushed down to his roots, no one would be able to save him.

It's all over for his life.

However, such thoughts were immediately shattered by the words that the young man spoke.

“... Kizuna-chan, I need your help. So I'm gonna save you. If you can't get your savior, will you choose me?”

“Hah?..”

Kizuna's mind instantly shattered like a shard of glass.

He felt his time that stopped instantly moving back after he heard those words.

Those were words he had not expected. He did not believe what he heard.

His mind that was tossed about, now became empty was filled with those words.

He did not mishear, his heart immediately beat very fast.

The time that stopped had been moved back by the young man, it felt like now he could cry.

Tears began to trickle down her cheeks that were as smooth as snow, her ears lowered with sadness.

His tail danced with excitement, someone had said words he was dying to hear.

As Kizuna continued to freeze, the young man once again moved his lips while scratching his cheeks in shame.

“Yeah, you know. Even though I said I was going to save you, I actually just wanted you to save me.”

“Eh?... What does that mean?”

Kizuna was a little agitated as the young man said those words.

He thought hard to find the meaning of the young man's words.

But, the young man ignored Kizuna's uneasiness and continued his words.

“Hmmm, how to say yes? You see, I'm very weak, right? So, I want you to protect me.”

Kizuna's eyes widened in astonishment, what the young man said was indeed true.

He doesn't look like a strong man. Therefore, just now the young man had said that he wanted Kizuna to be by his side.

He wanted Kizuna to be by his side and protect him, the young man had said that he needed her.

All this time he had always expected someone to be by his side, so he was completely shocked when it was others who wanted him to be by his side.

Kizuna cried, but she immediately wiped her tears and looked at the young man with a gentle smile.

This was the first time a person, a man wanted himself other than his body.

How long you think he's been waiting for a moment like this.

It had been hundreds of years for him to live, but this was the first time he had felt this kind of feeling.

“Kizuna Miko, I need you. I want you to protect me, in exchange I'll save you. If you're sad, I'll erase your sadness. If you're sick, I'll take your pain away. This is our relationship, the relationship needs each other. So, will you from now on be by my side to protect me?”

The young man bowed his body, looked at Kizuna with a gentle gaze, and extended his hand towards her.

Unable to hold back her happy feelings, Kizuna cried, she cried and kept crying.

The warm happiness had turned her sadness into a happy cry.

His tears continued to flow and flow, he raised his trembling hand and grabbed the young man's hand.

The young man nodded in satisfaction and pulled the body of Kizuna who was still curled up on the ground to stand up.

He clasped tightly onto Kizuna's hand, there was a feeling of embarrassment as the young man tightly grasped her hand.

He covered his blushing face with his tail, the young man tilted his head in confusion.

But, she just ignored him and did not ask anything at all, yet it was good for Kizuna.

If now the young man said something, he felt that he would die of shame.

Even though he had lived a long life, he did not believe that he would do this kind of behavior.

But that makes him a little happy. This is the first time Kizuna's heart has been beating so hard when it touches a man's body.

Though he should have gotten used to men, but why was he so embarrassed at the moment when the man clasped his hands.

As Kizuna thought about that, she only grew more embarrassed and embarrassed.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Eh, ah! Y-Yeah, I'm fine.”

“Is that?”

His behavior was really strange, he did not believe he would be so nervous when talking to a man.

—{This feeling? What do other people call this feeling?}, Kizuna thought about it, but she still could not get the answer.

However, he believed that one day he would find the answer, if he continued to be with the young man.

Kizuna was sure, that she would soon know the name of the feeling she was feeling right now.

“Good, Kizuna-chan. Again, my name is Night Rogant. Hopefully we can be familiar.”.

At that time Kizuna swore, no matter what happened he would save the young man.

He will protect the young man who has said that he needs himself.

Even though it would have to risk his life, if it was for the sake of that young man. Kizuna dare to do anything!

He has set his heart like that. He will always be on the side of the young man.

But, just for now please let her cry in her happiness.

Jumping towards the young man, Kizuna vented all her sadness and tightly hugged the weak body of the young man.

“Haahh! Well, I guess for now it's fine.”

“Waaaaah~!!”

A loud cry echoed throughout the dark forest.

Raising his hand, Rogant gently stroked the head of the woman who was crying her chest.

However, the smile of a demon was clearly visible on his innocent face. Kizuna was completely unaware of it...

Once again, the goal of the devil has been achieved so easily as if it were all his destiny.
