gleaming golden egg, something suddenly happened!
At first, Sanshi was at a loss for what was going on.
The air began to swirl into itself, destroying everything around Sanshi. A red tent-like fog covered the entirety of the
sky. Fear made SanshiтАЩs whole body tremble, when finally the word "shoku" floated into her mind.
She suddenly stood up as the fierce winds brushed at her feet. The white branch could not bear the pummeling of
the wind, as it shook violently and creaked.
Sanshi shouted loudly and sprung towards the tree branch. She held the branch tightly and straightened her body
up against the wind. Her wind-blown hair was messily tangled with the branches. In the violent shaking of the tree
branches, a portion of her hair was torn out, but she didnтАЩt have time to acknowledge the pain on the top of her head.
She thought with all her heart of only protecting the Taika. When she looked up toward the branch, all she saw was
the twisting air.
"Taiki!"
The roaring wind continuously hit her body. She saw the already turbulent air spinning even more, as it opened up
and devoured the branch.
"No!"
This was how the small golden fruit was drawn into the twisting air. That fruit that should only have been tenderly
plucked by Sanshi after ten months, otherwise should never have left the branch, was harshly swept away.
"Help!"
Sanshi reached out and tried to save the fruit with both her hands, which had been scraped by tree branches and
was dripping with blood. However, the distance between her hands and the fruit became farther and farther until she
despaired.
"Someone come quickly!" Sanshi shouted with all her strength, but it only reached the end of her outstretched
fingers before it dissipated in the wind.
The golden fruit gradually disappeared into whirlwind in this way.
The first sound that Sanshi made after she came into this world was the name of Taiki. And then who would have
guessed that the second time she opened her mouth, it would be in a sorrowful crying--a crying that received no
replies.
The end came just as suddenly as the beginning.
Sanshi stared blankly at the white branch.
There was no longer a golden radiance at the end of the branch, the solitary fruit had already disappeared leaving
neither a shadow nor a trace.
"Sanshi!"
The sound came from all directions as a number of nyosen all ran towards Sanshi.
The first to arrive at SanshiтАЩs side was Gyokuyou.
"Ah... Gyokuyou..."
Sanshi clutched tightly onto the two hands Gyokuyou had reached out.
First, she shouted GyokuyouтАЩs name, and then she let out a sorrowful cry and began wailing.
"How could this happen...?"
Gyokuyou hugged this nyokai, who had been born not too long ago, as she gently stroked her wind-blown hair as
well as her scarred body.
"Of all times, it had to happen when the fruit of the kirin was growing..."
The nyokai at her chest was continuously letting out a mournful cry. Originally, in the ten months before the kirin
hatched, the nyokai would not leave her post under the tree. The nyokaiтАЩs feelings toward the kirin were that deep.
Now this nyokai had watched wide-eyed as the kirin was taken from her. Gyokuyou could understand her pain.
"DonтАЩt worry."
She patted the nyokaiтАЩs back.
"You donтАЩt have to cry like that, Sanshi. We will definitely find Taiki."
Gyokuyou said this quietly. In fact, she was also telling herself this.
"I will return Taiki to your side as quickly as is possible."
"Genkun..."
