I'll get started on another chapter: Envy.

(Technically) a recap of Kayo, but this stuff has actually new info to summarize.


 * Jakoku is an island nation that exists far east of Evillious had essentially limited relations with foreign countries until around EC 850, and formed a unique culture around that.


 * However, there was an exception, regions that accepted foreign residents were present. One such settlement was at the island of "Onigashima" in the south, in Enbizaka situated at the center where many foreigners lived in the area, mixed with the Jakokuese.


 * Kayo Sudou was a tailor living on a corner of Enbizaka. WIth her good nature and excellent skill, she had a good reputation in the neighborhood.


 * Due to the many foreigners on Onigashima, Kayo's pink hair and whie skin didn't seem out of place. Everyone thought she looked that way because her ancestors were foreigners.


 * However, long ago, Kayo had a completely different appearance with black hair. Everyone had forgotten about that. It was as if they had been hypnotized......


 * At one time, the nake corpses of the owner of a piece goods shop, Kai Miroku, and his wife, Miroku Mei, were discovered in Enbizaka. They had been stabbed with an edged tool.


 * The entire MIroku family was killed one by one until the husband was the last.


 * The murderer of these terrifying killings was arrested and beheaed, her head put on display for three days as a warning to the public.


 * She was killed with a blade that was a "vessel of sin" that could change forms. But few were likely to know of that.

And recap over.


 * The sea wasn't blue like ALlne knew it to be. It was black and murky as the Demon of Envy calmly advanced above it.


 * He didn't have a compass to ascertain the direction, but figured they were taking the southern route around the entire continent until they reached Jakoku in the east.


 * Allen tries to strike conversation by saying that it's faster than flying and probably faster than Josephine going across the continent. The demon doesn't answer and silently keeps heading toward the destination.

Space.


 * Allen's narration is wondering how far they've gone as he can't see land or shadows of it. He thinks he's not feeling too well and might have motion sickness.


 * He wonders why his body would feel like that, since it isn't flesh-and-blood anymore but that's what it feels like.

New scene.
 * Envy: "...... How strange."
 * She had a puzzled look.
 * Allen: "What is it?"
 * Envy: "Look over there."
 * The demon used its fin to point in front of it. It was faint but it looked like the silhouette of an island.
 * Allen: "That's"
 * Envy: "Jakoku."
 * Allen's relieved we've arrived but the demon still have a deep face.
 * Envy: "We're too early."
 * Allen: "Huh?"
 * Envy: "According to my calculations, it was supposed to take a little more time for us to arrive at Jakoku. And yet, we've arrived much sooner."
 * Allen questions it and the demon ends up expressing it has a baddling feeling about this. (really rough whatever his line is and the demon's response).
 * Envy: "Maybe, due to the connection to the Hellish Yard, the space time of the earth has begun to distort."
 * Allen: "What!?"
 * Envy: "With the professor trying to hurry things, that might be the cause."
 * Allen: "The "professor"? Who's that?"
 * Envy: "Would it be easier for you to understand if I call him the "sun god" instead? Well, we'll be landing shortly anyhow. It'll probably be the sourtenmost short of Jakokuand we'll keep going until we reach Onigashima." (not sure about the last part)
 * With some anxiety and doubts, the demon pressed forward through the sea again.

More to do. Will be done later.
