While there are some who are blessed from birth, there are also those who are born cursed.

Hibana is a representative example of being born with a curse, and she has the fate of Yodo.

Hibana’s origins come from a swordsmith whose precious family was massacred by a greedy and cruel matriarch.

A potter who lived steadfastly with a boiling desire for revenge.

As a fugitive, he stubbornly tried to survive and looked for a killer who could help him take revenge.

After a long period of hardship, he finally encountered a famous assassin and commissioned him to assassinate the head of the family.

“I would give anything to kill him!”

“Good, it was time to get a new sword, but it worked out well. Make me a well-forged sword so I can kill him. Those are the terms of the deal.”

“Thank you! I will sacrifice my life to create a famous sword!”

When the potter heard that his sword could cut off the head of the head of the family, he became energized and immediately started working.

But as soon as the potter picked up the hammer, hatred welled up in his heart.

The resentment so strong that it brought tears of blood moved from his hand to the hammer and then to the steel he was hitting.

The clean and beautiful steel began to take on a dark look as it was repeatedly hammered.

A person’s resentment soon became a curse, and the sword that was completed was Hibana.

‘It’s strange, I obviously eliminated the target requested by the client, but I want to kill more… … !’

Potter’s grudge was not limited to the head of the family.

The private soldiers who committed the massacre of the family, the neighbors who turned their backs on the family, saying it was someone else’s business, and the rival potter family who laughed at them from afar.

He held a grudge against them all, and furthermore, he hated and resented the world itself for giving him such a miserable fate.

The curse in Hibana could not be resolved with the fatigue of the head of the family.

He thirsted for more blood, causing the potter’s hatred to spread throughout the world.

As a result, those who held Hibana lost their reason and became madmen who only thirsted for blood.

“It’s a urethra! That sword is a urethra that should not exist in this world!”

Eventually, Hibana’s notoriety spread widely, and it was considered a yodo that should never be approached.

However, the Eastern countries at that time were in an era of constant war.

There were a lot of people who wanted power, so there were also a lot of people who grabbed Hibana even after learning that she was Yodo.

As Hibana passed through the hands of many warriors, he built up countless reputations, and as his rank rose, his ego sprouted.

[I’m so sick of it.]

That was her first thought when she came into her own.

Hibana remembered the battlefields and times she had passed through from the time she was born until now.

She was pessimistic about the meaning of her existence.

[If this was going to be the case, it would have been better not to have been born in the first place… … .]

A curse of blood that will not disappear until the whole world is stained with blood.

Hibana was extremely disgusted with her fate of having to destroy the world to lift the curse.

He is a sword named Hibana, not the swordsmith’s grudge.

I would like to think of it that way, but it doesn’t change the fact that she was the one whose resentment took the form of a sword.

An unwanted birth.

Hibana blamed her father, Potter, for planting a curse on her.

However, by the time she developed a sense of self, the potter had already passed away.

[At best, I wanted to show him the bloody battlefield and scold him, asking if this is the world my father wanted.]

The object of resentment disappeared, and her existence became the wish of a foolish ghost.

In the end, due to the curse, Hibana completely ignored her own feelings and lived as a bloodthirsty eater.

A sword that cuts down countless people, takes their blood, and turns into sura wherever it goes.

The battlefield was the only place for Hibana, and she too was surrendering to her fate.

Then one day.

As usual, the warrior, driven mad by the curse, wandered around looking for a victim and found a man on a bridge.

A man with an extremely light appearance, but with a strange energy.

While he was leisurely looking into the river, he lightly pushed away the warrior who was attacking him with his fist.

Even though the warrior surpassed human limits due to the curse of blood, the man showed strength that could not be defeated by him.

Eventually, the man won by cutting the warrior’s body in half with his sword.

“I was surprised that you attacked me so quickly! Anyway, I won, so this sword is now mine.”

[oh!]

Once again, someone you don’t know is trying to grab you.

The man, like everyone else, will go crazy from the curse and will want blood.

Hibana, who thought this was a natural procedure, expressed regret at the fate of the degenerate man.

however… … .

“Oh? I couldn’t use all the swords from Eastern countries because they were unfamiliar to me, but this sword isn’t bad! The shape is pretty cool too!”

[what?]

The man was completely unaffected by the curse.

From the time I was staring endlessly at the river, to the time I faced the enemy who made a surprise attack, to the moment I was holding Hibana.

His eyes were consistently drowsy yet full of life.

The surprising thing was that it didn’t end there.

A warmth that she had never felt before was being transmitted to Hibana through the man’s skin.

It was a refreshing shock to Hibana, who thought only cold, fishy blood was acceptable.

[Nonsense… … .]

Hibana knew how persistent the potter’s grudge was.

Nevertheless, the man’s touch quenched both the resentment and the endless thirst.

Who is this man?

Transcendent? A dragon turned into a human? Or a god who descended into a human body?

While looking at the man and thinking of various possibilities, Hibana encountered a new sight for the first time.

“Wow! I made a fortune in an unexpected place!”

A man smiles brightly, saying he has a good sword in his hands.

Hibana, who had only seen human expressions of despair, pain, abandonment, sadness, and anger, saw a smiling face for the first time.

[…] … A person’s smile was so beautiful.]

Upon encountering a pure smile without malice, new emotions grew in Hibana’s previously closed heart.

A desire arose to smile brightly, and a desire to have a man who could suppress the curse also arose.

Thus, Hibana, who became Rian’s sword, wandered the world with him and encountered new experiences.

The battlefield was no longer her home.

[Master, the only place I belong is by your side… ♥]

As time passed, Hibana became more aware of Rian’s charms and came to truly admire him.

The blood curse that had been tormenting her has long since disappeared from her memory.

Hibana wanted to stay by Rian’s side forever.

Only yourself.

[…] … No matter how much I think about it, I am the only sword worthy of my master.]

In addition to Hibana, there were many other swords of Rian, and Hibana was greatly disappointed as she watched them.

He thought that the other swords were also admiring and praising Lian along with him.

But in reality, that wasn’t the case.

The arrogant Alaina pointed out that Lian’s attitude was unbecoming of a warrior.

The shameless Scathach always made unreasonable demands such as fighting dragons.

Twin Sword’s older sister, Ecle, acted immaturely without knowing that she was happy, and her younger brother, Lips, went so far as to criticize Lian.

Stupid Grishlas just wanted to covet Lian helplessly.

Hibana, who was watching the whole scene, could not tolerate them.

[They are evil that the master does not need. It would be better to exclude it altogether.]

After coming to a conclusion, Hibana made a plan from then on.

Starting with a plan to make Lian, who had fallen out of love with the sword, abandon it, he also came up with a way to dominate the Eastern Kingdom.

In addition, Hibana, who had hopes that humans and swords could become lovers through Rian’s teacher, seriously considered how to do that.

She planned the entire process in detail and began planning in earnest.

Taking advantage of the fact that Rian could communicate with the sword, he attempted to secretly create a conflict so as not to be noticed.

The swords made Lian dissatisfied, and she acted like she was hated so that she would not be suspected.

Every time, it felt like her heart was breaking, but Hibana held on tight.

[All of this is to achieve true love between me and my master… !]

After hiding her true intentions with lies, Hibana succeeded in making herself and all the swords hate Lian.

Next, she informed Rian of the state of unifying the sword and body and helped him reach a higher state.

[I heard there is a fairly large auction taking place nearby. They say they charge less in fees, so you may be able to expect good quality products.]

“Hmm, really?”

Furthermore, Hibana even gave Lian information about the auction house.

She encouraged them to sell themselves out, and in the end, the situation went as she intended.

Eight years later, the breakup with Rian was a terrible and bitter day for Hibana, but she endured even that time.

He pretended to be a famous swordsman, not Yodo, and collected information about the Eastern Kingdom step by step.

On the day I reunite with Lian, I plan to unravel all the information I have collected so far so that he can rule the Eastern Kingdom.

However, Hibana unexpectedly gained the ability to become a polymorph, and was busy trying to take control of the Touhou country herself.

With his extraordinary intelligence, firm will, and unstoppable ability to act, he became a leader and gradually dominated the Eastern Kingdom.

And today, she appeared before Lian as the empress who dominates the Eastern Kingdom.

‘It’s perfect…’ !’

In order to become a woman worthy of Rihanna, she consistently took care of her body and did not neglect beauty.

I decided that I would pay for the crime I committed by making up an excuse, no matter what indignity I had to endure.

Hibana planned and worked hard to become Rian’s only wife.

It could be seen as absolutely perfect, but there was one variable that she hadn’t thought about.

‘That’s too bad. I thought you developed an aversion to the sword.’

Hibana looked at Rian’s waist, which was running wild after hearing about her teacher’s current situation.

There was an iron sword I had never seen before.

‘… … Well, I guess it’s okay. All you have to do is get rid of that kinky sword.’

Hibana was casting a cold gaze towards Stella.

And then he looked away as if he wasn’t interested.

Even Hibana of the world could not have predicted that the sword, which she considered insignificant, would become the biggest challenge.
