Izanami: “He’ll be sane as soon as I get him a child’s heart.”
Izanami went on a search for a child’s heart late at night. For a while, she spotted a campfire where a pair of couples was sleeping with their baby.
As Izanami quietly lifted him up, she woke the baby up, who didn’t cry but smiled at her.
The smile reminded Izanami when Kagutsuchi was born, which was the happiest moment of her life. When she became hesitant to do it, the female voice spoke to her again.
???: “Only a child’s heart can heal your son…”
Izanami: Please forgive me.
The baby burst into cry as if he felt Izanami’s killing intention, waking his parents up!
When the couple tried to take their baby back, Izanami blasted them away by a simple arm wave. The couple then hit a tree and fainted.
Just when Izanami was about to make the deadly hit, someone grabbed her hand from behind——
【After Battles】
Izanami: Why are you stopping me? I do it for your own good!
Kagutsuchi: If I can only be saved by sacrificing the others, I don’t want it! I won’t be happy with this life!
Izanami: I just wanna save you...I just wanna protect you...
The bloodlust and the spooky spiritual energy were gone as Izanami collapsed onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Kagutsuchi took the baby from her, took care of the fainted couple and returned the baby to them. After settling the thing, he helped Izanami up.
Kagutsuchi: Mom, look! I’m alright. Don’t worry.
Izanami: Right...Let’s hit the road.
As they went back to their camping spot, Izanami returned to sleep without noticing Kagutsuchi’s worried gaze.
Right now, all she wanted was to go to that old village as soon as possible and seek for where she truly belonged to...
