After a sleepless night, I finished up my work in the morning because of the hunt, then decided to take a nap. If I didn"t sleep, I wouldn"t be able to meet the boy. I closed my eyes and asked to be transmitted.
And I immediately saw the name of the boy? What I saw were seemingly complex letters written on a white sheet of paper. I was relieved to see the boy"s figure next.
"Tokiaihara[1], Tokiaihara, Tokiaihara."
Although the name sounded lovely, the letters weren"t cute at all. Committing the complex letters to memory, the boy, Tokiaihara, brought up some troubling things in my language.
"Hunt, cannot, die."
Although it was unclear, the meaning was understood. Then, the scene changed.
Tokiaihara who tried to get up, fell from the chair due to pain. No one was around. Unable to make a sound, he writhed in agony. I have to help!!!
When I forced myself to wake up, Yarra was looking at me with worry.
"Go get Laham. Hurry! Tokiaihara is going to die!"
"At your will."
When Tugura came to replace Yarra, I told her to stop the hunt and leave to make preparations for the cleansing ritual. Laham came to the room shortly after. When I wrote down the name I memorized on paper, he furrowed his eyebrows at its complexity.
"Read as Tokiaihara. He"s alive, but collapsed in pain. He"ll die at this rate. We need to summon him now."
"Understood. Yarra, give me a hand. Change the position of the mirrors so we can increase the number. Your Highness should come quickly after the purification."
Each of us broke out into a run. Then, the "Cross-border" ceremony was held.
Toki"s name is written as [相原 朱鷺] but here it"s written [アイハラトキ]
