Path of glory country 4

1 month later

The sunlight entered through the window.

I opened my eyes and realized it was morning.

"Whatever. 5 minutes more" I continued sleeping despite the sun being high in the sky.

Suddenly, Yamato kicked the door open and entered the room in hurry.

"Furina. Wake up. Wake up quickly. There is something very special today." She shook my entire body.

"I know. This is the end of the month. Let me finish sleeping before going to work." I weakly replied.

"It's 12 o'clock. People have surrounded this place since they didn't see you at the center of the village."

"Tell them to come back at dusk." I said.

Hearing my answer, she shook me more violently.

I knew the reason why she and those people outside the house were enthusiastic. Yesterday, I told all of them there would be a very special event.

"Alright. I wake up now." I stepped out of my bed and changed my outfit.

After that, I opened the window to greet them.

"Greetings, my people. I hear that you are very expecting something today." I swayed the cane.

"Before coming to the main show, how about we start by telling our dream? Since I start this, I will say first."

I coughed to clear my throat before saying my dream.

"My dream is to throw a big party around the world so that everyone can remember the best party ever. No matter which nation, race, position, age or belief. Everyone was allowed to enjoy my party to their heart content. I want to create another laugh tale for the next generation." I said out loud. I was doing this mostly for fun.

"Now. It's your turn." I pointed at the people below.

One by one, they shared their dream with each other. The dream. The happiness. They wanted to forget the pain that they had endured until now.

I was listening to their dream one by one while looking at my clock.

Seeing the time was coming. I slammed the cane on the rooftop.

"Alright. Everyone. What special thing that I promise is on the way. Let's count down after me."

"10" I said.

"10" they repeated.

I counted down from 10 to 0 and they repeated my word.

Until they shouted the number 0. Nothing happened.

I observed their expression. Most of them were confused or excited what special event was going to happen.

"Mommy. Is she lied?"

"No darling. Lady Furina is a lady of promise. She has turned this wasteland into bountiful land. There is no way she will lie to us. Please. My daughter. Pray for her."

Remembering my culture, they clamped their hand and started praying.

"Lady Furina. We always remember your deed. You have brought prosperity, life and water to this land. We offer you our loyalty." A crowd of people said out loud.

While I was on the second floor looking at them, I wondered.

"If you pray for someone, don't spell their name out. It's embarrassing." I said in a low voice while looking at the sky. I caught a glimpse of a strange cloud in the sky. My mouth raised into a smile.

"Look. Yamato. The thing that I promise has come."

The orange object fell on the head of the little girl.

She was puzzled what was on her head. She stopped praying and reached out for it.

When she brought it in front of her eyes, she couldn't believe in her eye. 

"A cheese." she ate it and it indeed tasted like cheese.

Everyone looked towards the sky and saw the strange clouds making their way towards them.

At first, they were very scared.

"Bon appetit." I said out loud making them less scared.

"Bon appetit." they also said the same word like me despite not knowing the meaning.

Rain of food fell from the sky. People's eyes started shining like a star. Their pupil reflected the image of various food falling from the sky.

Their hand reached out for food. They took a bite. They couldn't contain the happiness deep inside their heart.

They laughed, cried and shared food with each other.

I looked at their behavior. My feelings were lightened. 

"Wano people are surely kind."

After 3 hours of food rain, they ate so much that their belly were big like a balloon.

They couldn't imagine that they would be full like today.

"Alright. Everyone. I can see your happiness on your face. I will issue some work today. The work today is called charity work."

A cart stuffed full of food arrived on the stage.

"Go and tell people what you have seen today. In this place, we have enough food, water and jobs for you. We share happiness and burden in order to build a better country." I gave an impressive speech to them. They cried out loud. Those were happy tears.

They sat on the cart and drove to the other villages for their grand duty.

I looked at them left until they disappeared far away.

"Those foods are good. How can you do that?"

"Some silly science." I saw Yamato with a big belly rolling on the floor.

"Anyway, Yamato. This is the list of job for next month. I will have a long business at Flower Capital. Take care of them. Yamato." I poured her a cup of sake while I poured myself a cup of soda.

"Cheer" I raised my cup

"Cheer" She slammed her cup into my cup.

"I know I can trust you, Yamato" I hit the cane. My short hair became long hair and my dark outfit became a bright outfit.

The next morning, in flower capital.

I walked around to investigate the fake Orochi and the status of this country. I knew the real one was dead long ago.

As for this fake one, this was an unknown one. His or her ability was to transform into anyone.

Thanks to this person, excepting the flower capital, other village didn't have a chance to live well.

As a result of the appearance of many wastelands.

Killing this fake one was easy for me but.

I inspected the area around me. I could feel the bad intention.

In order to do that, I had to kill the ninja team that protected Shogun. Not only ninja, I had to pass through the meat shield made up by the pride samurai.

In short, I couldn't think the another way to avoid blood fall. 

"Haiz. Don't know why they devote their life to such a bastard"

Their loyalty was unquestionable but their critical thinking was questionable.

It wasn't obvious that after Orochi became shogun, the country was dying as the days passed. People were dying out there by this tyrant. And they still chose to serve their tyrant lord.

"I guess they really hate this country too much." 

The consequence of killing. It had always been like this.

I peeked into the random classroom that educated the next generation.

"Can you tell me what is a closed nation?" a teacher asked.

"Me me me. It means closing the entrance to the country to protect the nation's peace"

"That's right. And what is an open nation."

"It's a stupid action which you let people across the sea come and harm to country."

"And in the past, there were fools who tried to do that." the teacher said.

"Oden and his 9 red scabbards." Bunch of kids answered with ugly faces.

"That is a taboo. Don't say their name."

After hearing the conversation between the teacher and the student, I was very disappointed inside.

"Funny. This is the worst treatment for you, Oden. People treat him as if you were a disease. He endured the shame to keep them safe. And now. They forget his heroic deed. They only remember the fake story created by the so-called politics. If I were treated like this, I would be very sad too."

Besides, the open nation and the close nation had their own pro and con. 

Why do you only teach one side of it? It was totally a bad education.

However, I agreed with them one thing. This wasn't a good time to open the nation.

Why.

This was also the big reason why I blocked every entrance and signal to this country. Preventing CP of government leaked the news or they left the country to report the news. The edge of the country was protected by a layer of mysterious mist. As long as I am alive, CP can't leave this country.

Because. In this nation existed a dangerous ancient weapon.

It was called Pluton.
