*Scratch head* Hmm ...
Well, I think I will become fan of Shinou-Daikenjya ^^
I don't know why, but I love ALL character made by Takabayashi sensei.
This Shinou-Great sage first meeting story just made me want to know more about what happened after it.
Takabayashi sensei is so wonderful to make the story without put Shinou-Daikenjya's name.
This one maybe so difficult to translate, because no current subject on this story. The subject is just `Kimi`(you), `Kare`(he), Otoko(man).
That's all XD
At the end, Shinou called `him` as Kenjya, but he ... ops, it will become spoiler ^^
Just a warning, if you will buy the magazine and read this one, it's better if you erased all of your imagine of Shinou and Daikenjya in anime, because they have different personality in novel story.
Introduction of characters in novel whom no one of them appeared at this story XDDDD
*I like Gisela pic. Her hair is brown and not long ^^
Story :
We got shock fact from the begin.
Pic: I didn't notice about THEIR FINGER TOUCHED SO NATURALLY before I read sensei's comment XDDDD
通り過ぎた森の先に (The way after go through the forest)
Someone who will call as Great sage in the future, woke up and noticed a sword's edge put on his neck.
He saw a beautiful man who has glaring hair and blue eyes, asked him with cruel smiling.
"What happened? Is that end?"
He didn't understand what happened.
He saw that beautiful man, and noticed that is something `black` covered this man. Black thing, like hatred or madness.
He and that man got wound.
First, he thought that he and that man got attacked by thieves.
But then , why this man pointed sword's edge to him?
After think that maybe that man mistake him as thief, he tried to said who is him.
But, he just notice that he can't remember anything.
His name, his family, his house.
He can't remember back all of them.
Looks like he hit his head strongly. That man looks bother a while, than pull his sword back after know that `he ` is not dangerous again.
The sword is beautiful.
But when he saw his face which reflect at sword, he is become surprised with his face.
"Black ..."
That man spoke with totally amazed voice after heard his whisper.
"You lost your memory about your color which given from birth too?"
"No,it's not. But, isn't black color rare?"
"It's right. But your hair and eyes ..."
The man scooped his hair with edge of the sword, and leaved the hair drop on the earth. He distorted his beatiful face with feeling which near hatred.
"is same color with darkness in my heart. Not only me, black is same color with everyone's heart darkness."
That man, who will call as `Shinou` in future, walked to the end of forest. He treated him cold, and also called him `dark one`.
`Dark one` asked what is his name, but that man didn't give answer, so he decided to called him `light one`
Dark one decided to followed him, because he is the only person who is near him before he lost his past memory.(Though light one said there is a bloodthirsty `monster` -- his sword --.)
He also wanted to know the reason why light one put the sword at his neck.
He wanted to know, what did he want to do.
While they walked to forest's exit, they found two girls binded. Light (Shinou) released them, but Dark (Daikenjya) told that it's thoughtless to released them without know why this girls bind in forest.
Dark and light got debate.
That girls didn't run although they already become free.
Their action make dark and light understand that they are sacrifice to avoid curse.
Dark told that they must convinced their parents and their villagers that this kind of way is wrong.
Light admit dark is come from Soukoku race, which told has high intelligent.
Light want to send those girls,then he hold one of the girl lightly.
This make Dark surprised, because Light's body is not so different than him, but he can hold 8 years old girl so lightly.
Light told Dark to hold another girl.
They reached a village where that girls was born.
When they begin to got debate again because light one called him `long hair miss`, dark one notice that light one's wound was erased.
Light one just told that it's his constitution
Dark one thought that it's dangerous to give this man, grip his past...
After walked around village, finally they found a bar to stayed.
Light one surrounded by women because of his beauty.
Dark one surprised with that `accident`, but he went to a no-crowded desk with the sacrifice girls.
A woman whom ages looks near him asked him if the girls are his daughter.
Dark one refused it, but then he totally surprised when the woman asked if the girls are `his elder brother`'s children.
Dark wondered, why this woman told that they are brothers, because he and light didn't resembled each other at all.
That woman named Lucinda is a blacksmith master.
Light one come and asked her to sharpen his sword.
Lucinda got surprised with the unique and beatiful sword.
That sword has a face.
One of bar woman came near their table and noticed about the sacrifice girls.
She shouted that `sacrifice is come back` then people in bar become noisy and all of them make scared face.
Dark protected the children, asked villagers why they did this kind of thing.
Light didn't talk any words, he just saw villagers with cold eyes.
Girls parents didn't come to hugs their children, they just saw them with scared eyes.
Lucinda gave explains about what happened on this village, until they decided to sacrifice children.
The villagers sacrificed children to avoided a curse disaster.
That curse happened at northwest village; dead person came back as Zombie.
To avoid that happened on this village too, villagers put sacrifice at forest's entrance.
Villagers can't do anything except that.
"You just need to hunting them (zombie), aren't you?"
Light spoke with give madness smiling sight to villagers.
Then Light told about weakness of that Zombie, and promised to solved the zombie at northwest village.
Light and Dark go to Lucinda's house.
They discuss quietly, that zombie which appeared at other near village is not `curse`.
Somebody controlled it.
But light one didn't care who ever the one who controlled them.
He will cut whatever he feel threaten.
Dark asked, why his eyes is like a hungry beast.
Light looks little surprised with dark's explaination of his face, but then he answered simply: "Well, then it must be because I love killing each other."
He also told that he like war, then explained the reason.
Dark told that he was envy to light, after heard the reason.
Light know who is himself clearly.
But dark didn't know anything about himself.
"Did memories so important, dark one?"
"I noticed how important is it at first time when I lost them."
"Then, I will pray for you. May you never lost anything of your memories in the future."
They stayed at Lucinda's house. Lucinda has a little brother, but she hid her brother to protected him from sacrifice thing.
Dark was pushed to care the children while Lucinda and Light sharpen the sword.
*******
I will use Shinou and Daikenjya for this part, because I think this one is so wonderful if it truly a fact.
Daikenjya become tired and in half sleep Condition after played with children.
He heard Shinou and Lucinda told something while sharping the sword.
He didn't heard it so clearly, but he understand that they talked about Shinou's family.
Shinou told Lucinda that maybe Daikenjya is his step brother.
But he can't confirm to daikenjya himself, because he lost his memory ...
Shinou is a royal blood, but he went out from the country 10 years ago.
His father loves beautiful women, and has more than 10~20 women.
That's make court war happened.
Shinou's first step brother was pushed to kill himself by his stepmother.
When he left the country, he remembered that he has 3 brothers and 1 sister, and 2 small sister. But it possible that he has more brother who lived atkoukyuu (a castle place which only live by king's women, and the only man who can went in is just the king.)
He heard a rumor that is a `Black hair black eyes` woman in Koukyuu, but he didn't know the truth, because he never came in to Koukyuu.
Black eyes and black hair race is truly small race.
It told that they are lived only at far east country.
This race has high intelligent.
If it true that is a black woman in Koukyuu, then that woman birth a child, it's understandble why Shinou didn't know it because his father forbid anyone come in.
And that woman must be know how to protect her child to be alive with her high intelligent, in the middle of courts war.
The only way for it, is killed other children before they killed her children.
Shinou told that Daikenjya came to killed him.
But it confused, because Shinou already abandoned the crown.
Then, why daikenjya came to kill him?
But that sword which bring by daikenjya is the sword which used by his brother to killed himself.
And also the sword which sucked lots of royal blood...
*That sword can hold by his country's royal blood only* (Because Shinou said that sword chose his owner)
I expected Shinou's talking around finish is about Daikenjya's freedom.
And daikenjya heard Shinou's word to Lucinda before he went sleep: "Go protected your brother."
******
Daikenjya carried some small bottles.
He remebered the effect of them, and understand that it was dangerous thing.
But he confused about why he carried them...
Shinou asked him : "Well then, sage who has black in your eyes, where will you go now?" after go out the village.
It's his free to went to where ever he want to go.
If he want to come back to his homeland, he can go to the west.
Shinou told that Daikenjya come from west, with rid a pedigree horse (his clothes also good one).
"...... You won't tell about my past?"
"Go where ever you want. I don't know about your past, then there is nothing that I can tell to you."
"Now, It's time for hunting. Like what you said, I'm feel like hungry best now."
Shinou rid his horse without saying any good bye. Daikenjya thinking about him a while. Then he suddenly notice...
He is alone, but Shinou is also alone.
He reserved his step slowly, then his forever memories gate opened at same time with his new life.
This one is the picture at Mobile phone. I fall in love with this pic at first sight XD ^^
He is ... SO ADULT AND SEXY ♥♥♥ *points at his chest ^^*
Anime's past story...
Quick explained
1. Daikenjya woke up, and he didn't understand what happened with him.
2. He saw Shinou, and thinking about how beautiful he is.
3. His chest pushed by Shinou's knee, and there was soul edge near his neck.
4. Shinou lost his interest after he know Daikenjya lost his memory.
5. Daikenjya clang to Shinou, because he only have this person to know what happened before he lost his memory.
6. Shinou ignored him at first. He is also threaten him, but daikenjya didn't withdrew.
7. They found two 8 years girl bind. Shinou helped them without asked any reason.
8. After got debate, Shinou and Daikenjya hold the girls by themself.
9. They found girl's village. They met a blacksmith named Lucinda. Shinou asked Lucinda to sharpen his sword (MORGIF).
10 After know why villagers binded girls at forest, Shinou told that he will did something to helped villagers.
11 Daikenjya told that he noticed that memories are important, after he lost them.
12. Shinou give him `words`(which I think it was cursed words;) to make him never lost his memory forever...
13 They went to Lucinda's house. She hid her brother to protected him.
14 Daikenjya was in half sleep mode when he heard Shinou and Lucinda talking.
15 Shinou told that he leaved his country around 10 years ago. His father is bad king, he loved women and kill people who didn't become his doll.
16. Shinou also told about possibility that Daikenjya is his half brother(but daikenjya didn't heard it clearly, so he didn't understand the meaning ...).
17. Shinou told Lucinda to protected her brother... .
18. Shinou asked where will Daikenjya go. He told that daikenjya come from west, and it's his free to come back or go to everywhere he want to go.
19. Daikenjya decided to go with Shinou, then he run to catch up Shinou.
My personal opinion. *pass this if you bored to read more XDDDD ^^*
If Shinou pick up Daikenjya in Anime, novel one told contrary.
I dropped my book after finish reading this.
And, ZOMBIE one already come out around this era surprised me so much.
I wonder if it same with Zombie in takara ma ...
Takabayashi-sensei always give us surprise thing.
I think no one think about possibility Shinou and Daikenjya are step brother!
And about Daikenjya lost his memory, lost his `job`memory to kill Shinou.
I need read 2nd time to understand what is Shinou-Lucinda talking, because it's difficult to find out all of their talking.
But ... which make me surprise is about MORGIF!
So, Morgif bring by Daikenjya to kill Shinou, but Daikenjya lost against Shinou then Morgif took by Shinou?
Shinou must be know about that sword which took his step brother's life.
Then he realised that the only possibility why a rare black race come to kill him (he wore great clothes and rid pedigree horse and also has money) is because he is one of his step brother who want to erased him before possibility Shinou come into Courts war...
But after he know daikenjya lost his past, he leave him alive.
Shinou is kind person.
He is like WILD Yuuri.
He already understand about the world fact, then he is adult enough for keep the secret in his heart.
He is free person ... I think daikenjya decided to go with him because he atracted by his freedom.
From what Daikenjya told about his own heart, looks like he grow up in the middle of the courts war.
He like programmed to erased anyone who disturb him.
But now he released by the chain which bind him.
Shinou didn't do anything to help him.
I think he didn't care about that kind of thing.
He just did what he want to do.
But I think, he hoped for a family...
Shinou walked alone until he meet Daikenjya.
He must be enjoy the talking with him.
Although sometime he give him cold sight, he looks got surprised with daikenjya's indication.
No one before daikenjya told like that to him.
I see their debate is like brothers quarrel.
If he truly didn't care about daikenjya, he can ignore him.
But he didn't.
Shinou is different with all other characters at KKM.
I feel like he is lone wolf.
I like what he say to Lucinda.
It's like... he is kind of regret about the family.
He abandoned his country and family.
Maybe it's his free to do it, but at same time, that's mean he won't protect anything.
He is kind for children, but so cold to adult person, especially to adult person's selfish which make children as sacrifice ...
It like told how is his thinking about adult person.
Maybe, he is somekind glad when he know he didn't need to kill someone who is maybe his brother. ...
Again, Takabayashi sensei make a family story.
Shinou at present time choose a family like Shibuya's family as born of new king, maybe because he wanted to change the endless war world.
Julia accepted his mind maybe because she understand Shinou's thinking.
I can't wait for the next story: Shinou vs Murata (Daikenjya) ^^
