Demon Bride Ch23 Problems Solved Problems Made

Warning: Enmu gets slammed to the ground again and Akaza attempts to hit him.

(I ask everyone to be and thank you already for patience. Please remember it akes time to write and many things irl takes up time. Thank you for reading.)

"YOU TOUCHED A WOMAN WITH YOUR FILTHY HANDS!?" 

"YOU FILTHY FUCKING COCKROACH!!"

Usually when one of the Twelve Kizuki is yelling at someone it was a scary sight to see, two would've been very scary to anyone. And they would've most likely attacked Enmu if you hadn't thrown yourself between not just one but four demons that was baring fangs at one another- Or more accurately Akaza, Kyogai, and little Rui was glaring at Enmu with the hare of a thousand hellfires. However like you expected Enmu didn't give two dams about possibly being beaten up. Instead he was behind you with his head leaned against the top of your head and his hands grabbing your shoulders. An amused smile on his face. HOW DID YOU GET YOURSELF INTO THESE THINGS?! You just didn't feel like having four demons brawl in the mansion even if you disliked the one you currently had clinging to you.

''GET. YOUR. HANDS. OFF. MY. MOTHER!!" 

Enmu let out a coo before leaning harder on your head. "I'm afraid Y/n-chan is the only one who may put her hands on me.~"

You blatantly saw veins appear on Akaza's body, Kyogai's hand hovered over the drum on his right thigh, and Rui looked...oddly calm but with a frightening expression he had just before he wrapped up Enmu in spider's web and tossed him out the door. You obviously didn't want to get in trouble for Rui physically attacking a demon lord so you went out to make sure he was alright but when you opened the door, you were stunned to find none other than Akaza there pulling the threads apart with his fists to see what was going on while Kyogai was yelling at Enmu for the damage to his wall where Enmu made impact when Rui tossed him out. Akaza had just finished untying the struggling demon when Rui walked up behind you and demanded that you would come back inside away from the pervert that that laid his hands on you. 

ALL. HELL. BROKE. LOOSE.

You practically had to dive at Enmu and tackle him away from Akaza's fist hitting the floor and leaving a giant hole in the floor. Kyogai had started yelling at Akaza about the damage to his floor but then it sunk in what Rui said and then he directed his anger at Enmu and now you and Enmu were backed into a wall (literally) with three demons wanting to start a fight. However they wouldn't. Not while you stood close enough to be hit if they tried anything.

"NOBODY is doing ANYTHING!!," YOUR voice sternly said calmly faced with these demons. Staring Akaza in the eyes you didn't back down. "Akaza, stand down!"

"He touched you." He didn't even look at you. Instead his eyes stayed right on the smiling lower Moon.

"Yes. And it was for medical practice. The only time it wasn't was when he attempted to kiss me."

Maybe you shouldn't have said that because a GIANT vein popped on his forehead and his eyes nearly broke out bloodshot. " Y/n. Move."

"No. You'll try to kill him."

"I won't kill him. I'm not allowed to." Bones popped as his fists tightened. "But I can sure make him hurt."

''If you hurt him. I'll never forgive ANY of you." Finally his eyes turned to yours which glared right back. "If I want you to attack someone on my behalf then I'll say it, but clearly since Im putting myself in danger right now, I don't want you too. Now. All of you. STAND. DOWN."

Akaza despite your words took a step forward.

"I SAID I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!! CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT?!"

Silence. Stone Cold. Dead silence. 

...Akaza stepped aside a bit and you saw himself forcibly relax. "..I will. But not for his sake-" 

"And you're not going to attack him once he leaves. I won't allow more fighting involving me while I'm here. And I'm going to be taking responsibility for my stupid mistakes. That being said...Akaza. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression when we first met." He flinched but you kept talking. You HAD to take the chance to fix this. No more misunderstandings! "I didn't know something like me offering a friendship could be taken out of context to you, but I still messed up. Akaza I didn't make any marriage offers to you. I'm sorry."

There. He could hear his whole world shattering into pieces that moment. However a coo also made you growl and look up to the demon that started this mess. 

"And that goes double for you! Don't think I would find you fond now that I've cleared one problem out of the way!" Enmu fell silent for a long moment but if it was possible pulled you gently closer to his beating chest. 

"I-...I w-was already informed about your misunderstandings for us." You were pulled back to Akaza who had reached a shaking hand out to grab your hand and you froze. His hand was shaking so badly that yours was also shivering. "I know you didn't mean to-...And that's alright but I want..too..." You blinked at him in shock. "...I promised to think about it and I did while I was gone. I still want you. And if you'll have me-" His other hand reached out to brush against your cheek." Soft. Warm. She was so pretty...So beautiful.  "I wish to start courting you. Because I love you. I can't explain it...But I do love you."

You were shocked into silence, mouth agape and when nothing came out his hand on your cheek slid along your face to gently close your mouth with a smile. His eyes briefly glancing at your lips. They looked as soft as rose petals.

"You know..." You finally spoke still stunned. "You're the third person who's confessed their love to me since I've been here. And I don't know how to take it right now."

"Who has confessed?"

Well one was the clingy person hugging you, and the other...Your eyes briefly glanced to Kyogai as he just stared at you..before sadly looking away. It would be better to keep that info to yourself. Actually Akaza would be the fourth to confess if you counted Kaigaku giving you his necklace but you'd deal with that headache when he got back. You were just glad you were able to get one problem cleared! Now there was only three others. Hantengu, Kaigaku, and Rui. While you still tried to talk sense into Rui, you could wait for Kaigaku to return and then clear the air from there. Then that would be another problem off your chest.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I fix the mistakes I caused starting here on out. And like I said, I don't know how I feel towards any of this."

Akaza nodded and slowly released your hands. "I understand but maybe I could help some how."

You weren't sure what Akaza could do but before you could say anything Kyogai spoke up. "Actually you can!" You both looked at him. He looked at Akaza. "Do you happen to know where Hantengu's sons are located?"

Akaza seemed confused by that part but nodded. "They're all very far from here searching through many children's homes and known orphan populations for a runaway child the Master wants. Why?"

"Hantengu seems to have gotten into his head that Y/n has accepted an arranged marriage between her and one of his sons."

"WHAT?!"

"It's a long story but don't worry. If they've all been on the other side of the Master's provinces then they wouldn't know yet. But could you perhaps locate Hantengu and explain it to him that Y/n didn't agree BEFORE his sons find out? You do know where he lives right?"

"Yes."

"Then you'll do it?"

"Absolutely." If it means less competition for Y/n's heart then he would gladly take on that responsibility. "He lives three days to the south from here. I have nothing important needing my attention so I can spare the time to make sure they're aware of the situation before it gets out of hand. Thank you for making me aware of this. I assure you that he'll understand the situation once I'm finished with him."

You sighed in relief. This was perfect! With Akaza helping you, you wouldn't have to worry about actually trying to track down this Hantengu and explaining everything to him. That was two problems solved, now that only left two others. But you'd worry about that later when Kaigaku eventually came back. 

"Ah. If you also need someone to take the boy off your hands, I can speak to the Master himself.~'' 

All of you paused before looking at Enmu, and you had to really wriggle yourself out of his grasp in order to look at him. And he still smiled through all of this. "What?"

"I don't have the equipment to examine blood myself so the Master was gracious enough to let me use his!~ And your blood is so beautiful might I add.~" You frowned. "The Master would know the perfect person to care for the child! After all he's the one who assigns all the tutors for his daughter.~"

"... Actually...That might actually work," Kyogai mused with a hum before nodding. "Alright." A claw pointed right at Enmu's face. "You ask the Master what he wishes to do with the boy and we'll do that. In the meantime I'll try to get him to un-imprint on Y/n." 

"Can you actually do that?"

"It's not unheard of but it'll take a while. Right Akaza?"... Kyogai turned. "Akaza, what are you doing?"

Akaza had magically disappeared from sight while the three of you were talking and had gone about calming Rui. By the time you three looked over, Akaza was already holding the small boy I'm his arms, cradling him and Rui was munching on something he pulled from a small bag. 

"Mother look!" He held up the small bag now calmer. "Mr. Akaza gave me candy!" He innocently fumbled with the bag. "I like him now."

"He's running a small fever," Akaza spoke a hand pressing to Rui's forehead. "Kyogai, have your healer look over him once I leave." Rui blinked as he was handed over to Kyogai.

"Oh are you leaving now?"

Akaza nodded. "If this needs to be resolved then I better get to Hantengu before his sons do, which means I'll need the head start." He paused before looking at you. "Y/n...I k-know it's selfish of me t-to ask this but.. could you at least think about what I said?"

...you nodded. "I will but I don't promise anything to o anyone."

"That is fair enough.'

You smiled at them all beautifully, lovely. "Thank you."

Hearts skipped a full beat for the three watching. Faces full of red. A thick floral scent making them woozy. However it was only one that spoke.

"Ah! There's that smell again!" Enmu smiled. "Begonias! Such a pretty scent for a pretty human.~"

"... Begonias? Are you dense?" Kyogai frowned at Enmu. "The only flower I smell is rose."

"Then you both need to have your  noses checked." Akaza rose a brow. "I smell neither begonia or rose. Amaryllis blooms is what's here."

You looked between them all confused. "What are you three talking about? I don't smell anything."

The three demons stared silently....before Enmu reached into his overcoat collar and pulled out a notepad and paper before opening it and proceeded to write in it.

"What are you doing you lunatic?"

"Taking notes on the human's strange condition. It seems the strange effect her blood has on us doesn't affect her at all, and even if it does it doesn't seem to be harmful to her and she can't detect whenever it's happening." He explained with a confused hum. "Although the effects are ... strange. It doesn't seem to be harmful to us either but it effects our sense of smell. Perhaps some kind of camouflage tactic? Maybe a calming tool?... Whatever it is, it seems to affect everyone differently. For example I smell nothing but begonias. Kyogai has roses and Akaza had amaryllis blooms. How strange?' He looked up at you. "Has anyone else experienced any strange floral scents from you?"

You blinked. "Uh... Kaigaku mentioned once that he thought my blood smelt like peach blossoms."

Enmu's brows shot up. "Really? He mentioned your blood specifically?" You nodded and he proceeded to write that down. "So it's not just me who connected the smells to your blood. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this."

"I have!" Rui's little hand went up gripping some more candy gaining everyone's attention. "But you're all wrong. Roses and peaches are dumb guesses. Mother smells like beautiful carnations." He then shoved the fistful of candy into his mouth chewing noisily.

"Carnations? That's an interesting take actually as carnations are widely accepted to symbolize motherhood." More scribbling as you stared stunned at Rui. "Before I leave Id like to ask a few of your servants of they also smelt anything strange like us. It might just be the key to what is going on in her body."

"Huh? Oh. Yes. You may ask Eri. She used to be the human's personal aid and I must summon her anyways to look over the boy." As if on cue he hit the drum on his stomach twice each letting out a BUM sound each time. "You can also ask Nagi who's currently serving her. But be sure that's the only thing you do!"

"You called me, my Lord." Immediately a servant appeared and bowed to him. 

"Yes. Tell Eri I want her to come here immediately."...He then eyed the cracks in the wall from Rui throwing Enmu and the hole Akaza had punched in the floor and sighed. "And tell Mayla to get some builders over here to repair all the damage. My home is not a fighting ring!" He shot Akaza a look.

"Oh...I apologize for the damage."

The servant bowed. "Of course. Will there be anything else?"

"Mother, I'm hungry. I want lunch."

"*Sigh* And bring food for the child and human from the kitchen."

The servant bowed and left leaving you all there. Akaza again apologized to Kyogai for the hole in the floor before also leaving, but not before coming back to give your hands one last squeeze before leaving. The next to leave was Enmu after you saw him speak to Eri and a few other servants writing all of it down into that notepad of his before he returned to you smiling.

"Well it seems like quite a mystery. Besides myself and four other specific demons, everyone else doesn't smell a specific flower."

"So ..they don't smell anything?"

"Oh no. They do. But it's totally different. You see everyone I spoke to agreed that you smell like flowers..But they can't tell me one specific TYPE of flower. To them it's just an indescribable floral scent that doesn't have any one specific flower where as myself and four others ONLY smell one kind of flower and for each of us it's different."

"So...I smell like flowers to all demons, but it's more of a field of flowers that they can't make out? Except for a few like you and Akaza that smells just one specific flower?"

"Now you're getting it! And for each of us it's different, but I haven't figured out how or why yet." 

You watched as he slipped the notepad back in his coat and lean over to grab his suitcase. "Then what will you do now?"

"Well..First I'm going to contact the families of the demon that Kyogai killed when they chased you in here. Perhaps something in their bodies are affecting you, but since their corpses were burnt, I can't take any direct samples from them. So I'll need the next best thing." He smiled wider. "I'll need to take blood samples from their closest family members and compare it to yours to see if there's any similarities. If there's nothing connecting you to them then we can rule out blood contamination by demon DNA. But first I need Kyogai to pull up their records to locate any family. "

"That sounds like a lot of work and just for me of all people. I'm not that important."

"Oh how wrong you are.~," he cooed and tilted his head, "And.." Teal eyes became half lidded with knowing. "I do want to genuinely help you, Y/n.~" He slightly bowed to you. "I shall do my very..."

He paused mouth open in a smile as two arms wrapped around his middle and pulled him against a warm body. Her body leaned against him in an embrace- THUD!! The suitcase dropped from his hand as his body froze. 

"I know this is asking a lot of work from you, and you can be... difficult, but I do appreciate the help you're giving me and I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you and everyone else. I promise to fix everything as soon as I can. Please don't stress yourself out on my part." You slowly let him go and stepped back watching his shocked face. And smiled. "But maybe just tone down the perverted nature a bit from now on."

"....No one had ever t-t-thanked me genuinely before." The shock melted away as he shivered and smiled genuinely. You blinked as a hand tucked under your chin to raise you head just a bit higher. Huh...when did his teal eyes suddenly get closer? "Do you know I also have a strange medical condition?~" He mumbled closer. "You make my heart beat faster.~" purple eyes widened as his face was five inches awa-

SLAM!!

.....You blinked......And looked at your feet.

The touch was gone. And so was Enmu- No. Enmu was still there but now he was laying at your feet laying face down on the floor as flat as a pancake. Behind him, one of his legs was slightly suspended in thin air, and wrapped around his ankle was a spider thread. You slowly followed the thread to where Rui was standing next to Kyogai and firmly held the thread in his hands.

"Do your business with the drum man and leave." Rui then held up the thread to Kyogai. "Here you go. I get extra food now right?"

Kyogai chuckled before gladly accepting the string just as Enmu looked over his shoulder. "I think I'll miss having this child around. Come along, Enmu. I'll get you the documents." He then turned and walked away dragging the other demon behind him

Enmu was quick to grab the suitcase as he was dragged away before smiling and waving at you. "Good bye, Y/n-chan.~ Parting is such sweet sorrow.~"

You stood there for a long moment before blinking and reaching a hand to slowly rub your face. Yep. You had too much to think about right now. Small footsteps ran up to you before someone small threw their arms around your legs. 

"I don't like him! Mother you best stay away! Come read me more stories instead."

You sighed and reached out to pat the top of his head. Whelp...At least most of your problems would be fixed now. Hopefully Akaza would be able to talk sense into Hantengu. Only time could tell.

-THREE DAYS LATER-

Loud footsteps approached a familiar but annoying door and a large fist knocked loudly on the wooden surface demanding an answer. A moment later footsteps approached and the door opened to a sniffling face.

"Akaza. What do you want here?"

A firm push was enough to get inside and walk his way inside without a fight. Of course a whimpering mess was there to greet him by the fireplace. 

"Hantengu."

"AAAAAAHHH HAHAAAAA!! NO NO!! NO MORE THINGS BEING BLAMED ON ME!!"

"Oh calm down. I didn't come here to drag you back to work. I came to just talk." A few more sobs and whimpers. Sigh. Ok. He'll be nice for her sake. "First of all, I want to congratulate you on your retirement and your sons for getting such a high positions."

"*Sniffle* Thank you."

"Secondly, I apologize for dropping I'm unannounced like this. But we need to talk."

"*Sob* It's alright."

A stern look. "Lastly, I need to let you know something serious. A few weeks ago, you had a girl agree to marry one of your four older sons. But you should know that the human woman didn't really agree to that. She didn't agree to any engagement and she didn't understand what you meant. So any engagement you thought about presenting to your sons is off limits. There will be none. Am I being clear enough to you?"

Silence.

.....A sniffle. "Too late, too late. There's no going b-back now."

"What are you talking about?"

"*Sob* They a-already want to be married. *Sniff* It's not M-My fault young men yearn for a married life."

"Well when they get here tell them it's off!"

"N-No. You don't u-u-understand. *Hic* Th-They are on their way to get her now."

"WHAT?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! T-THREE DAYS AGO!! N-NOT MUCH TIME LEFT TO SAVE!!"

Demon Bride Ch23 Problems Solved Problems Made

(DISCLAIMERS AND IMPORTANT INFO!!!: EVERYONE in this story is in their early 20s-30s! This story will contain mentions of past abuse and death! I'll be keeping it as SFW. Some backstories have been slightly altered for this particular story, and some characters cannonically dead or harmed is alive and well. I own nothing.

Credit to @flanelltees​ for the designs I based the demons off to look more demon-like with tails and pointed ears.

This story will be sfw, but there will be some blood, implied death, fighting, some gore mentioned, and a few other things that will be made aware by warnings. Pay attention to warnings at the top of any chapters just under the summery please.)

Once in the mountain villages it was a custom that once a year on the night of the new year's first moon, an unlucky young lady would be selected and left for the demons to become one of the unlucky few who married such a husband. In exchange for this offering the demons would protect the villages and leave the humans in peace. Until one day a powerful warrior drove the demons away freeing the humans of them. Now 2,000 years later, it's become a tradition that once a year, a new young lady would be picked and wait for her future husband to retrieve her from a shrine in the mountains. And now the lucky tradition would fall upon Y/n L/n. It would be her own turn to take on the tradition and not have to worry about demons. After all that part of the old tradition was just fake, made up by paranoid ancestors. Everyone knew demons didn't exist.

...Right

Well one was the clingy person hugging you, and the other...Your eyes briefly glanced to Kyogai as he just stared at you..before sadly looking away. It would be better to keep that info to yourself. Actually Akaza would be the fourth to confess if you counted Kaigaku giving you his necklace but you'd deal with that headache when he got back. You were just glad you were able to get one problem cleared! Now there was only three others. Hantengu, Kaigaku, and Rui. While you still tried to talk sense into Rui, you could wait for Kaigaku to return and then clear the air from there. Then that would be another problem off your chest.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I fix the mistakes I caused starting here on out. And like I said, I don't know how I feel towards any of this."

Akaza nodded and slowly released your hands. "I understand but maybe I could help some how."

You weren't sure what Akaza could do but before you could say anything Kyogai spoke up. "Actually you can!" You both looked at him. He looked at Akaza. "Do you happen to know where Hantengu's sons are located?"

Akaza seemed confused by that part but nodded. "They're all very far from here searching through many children's homes and known orphan populations for a runaway child the Master wants. Why?"

"Hantengu seems to have gotten into his head that Y/n has accepted an arranged marriage between her and one of his sons."

"WHAT?!"

"It's a long story but don't worry. If they've all been on the other side of the Master's provinces then they wouldn't know yet. But could you perhaps locate Hantengu and explain it to him that Y/n didn't agree BEFORE his sons find out? You do know where he lives right?"

"Yes."

"Then you'll do it?"

"Absolutely." If it means less competition for Y/n's heart then he would gladly take on that responsibility. "He lives three days to the south from here. I have nothing important needing my attention so I can spare the time to make sure they're aware of the situation before it gets out of hand. Thank you for making me aware of this. I assure you that he'll understand the situation once I'm finished with him."

You sighed in relief. This was perfect! With Akaza helping you, you wouldn't have to worry about actually trying to track down this Hantengu and explaining everything to him. That was two problems solved, now that only left two others. But you'd worry about that later when Kaigaku eventually came back. 

"Ah. If you also need someone to take the boy off your hands, I can speak to the Master himself.~'' 

All of you paused before looking at Enmu, and you had to really wriggle yourself out of his grasp in order to look at him. And he still smiled through all of this. "What?"

"I don't have the equipment to examine blood myself so the Master was gracious enough to let me use his!~ And your blood is so beautiful might I add.~" You frowned. "The Master would know the perfect person to care for the child! After all he's the one who assigns all the tutors for his daughter.~"

"... Actually...That might actually work," Kyogai mused with a hum before nodding. "Alright." A claw pointed right at Enmu's face. "You ask the Master what he wishes to do with the boy and we'll do that. In the meantime I'll try to get him to un-imprint on Y/n." 

"Can you actually do that?"

"It's not unheard of but it'll take a while. Right Akaza?"... Kyogai turned. "Akaza, what are you doing?"

Akaza had magically disappeared from sight while the three of you were talking and had gone about calming Rui. By the time you three looked over, Akaza was already holding the small boy I'm his arms, cradling him and Rui was munching on something he pulled from a small bag. 

"Mother look!" He held up the small bag now calmer. "Mr. Akaza gave me candy!" He innocently fumbled with the bag. "I like him now."

"He's running a small fever," Akaza spoke a hand pressing to Rui's forehead. "Kyogai, have your healer look over him once I leave." Rui blinked as he was handed over to Kyogai.

"Oh are you leaving now?"

Akaza nodded. "If this needs to be resolved then I better get to Hantengu before his sons do, which means I'll need the head start." He paused before looking at you. "Y/n...I k-know it's selfish of me t-to ask this but.. could you at least think about what I said?"

...you nodded. "I will but I don't promise anything to o anyone."

"That is fair enough.'

You smiled at them all beautifully, lovely. "Thank you."

Hearts skipped a full beat for the three watching. Faces full of red. A thick floral scent making them woozy. However it was only one that spoke.

"Ah! There's that smell again!" Enmu smiled. "Begonias! Such a pretty scent for a pretty human.~"

"... Begonias? Are you dense?" Kyogai frowned at Enmu. "The only flower I smell is rose."

"Then you both need to have your  noses checked." Akaza rose a brow. "I smell neither begonia or rose. Amaryllis blooms is what's here."

You looked between them all confused. "What are you three talking about? I don't smell anything."

The three demons stared silently....before Enmu reached into his overcoat collar and pulled out a notepad and paper before opening it and proceeded to write in it.

"What are you doing you lunatic?"

"Taking notes on the human's strange condition. It seems the strange effect her blood has on us doesn't affect her at all, and even if it does it doesn't seem to be harmful to her and she can't detect whenever it's happening." He explained with a confused hum. "Although the effects are ... strange. It doesn't seem to be harmful to us either but it effects our sense of smell. Perhaps some kind of camouflage tactic? Maybe a calming tool?... Whatever it is, it seems to affect everyone differently. For example I smell nothing but begonias. Kyogai has roses and Akaza had amaryllis blooms. How strange?' He looked up at you. "Has anyone else experienced any strange floral scents from you?"

You blinked. "Uh... Kaigaku mentioned once that he thought my blood smelt like peach blossoms."

Enmu's brows shot up. "Really? He mentioned your blood specifically?" You nodded and he proceeded to write that down. "So it's not just me who connected the smells to your blood. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this."

"I have!" Rui's little hand went up gripping some more candy gaining everyone's attention. "But you're all wrong. Roses and peaches are dumb guesses. Mother smells like beautiful carnations." He then shoved the fistful of candy into his mouth chewing noisily.

"Carnations? That's an interesting take actually as carnations are widely accepted to symbolize motherhood." More scribbling as you stared stunned at Rui. "Before I leave Id like to ask a few of your servants of they also smelt anything strange like us. It might just be the key to what is going on in her body."

"Huh? Oh. Yes. You may ask Eri. She used to be the human's personal aid and I must summon her anyways to look over the boy." As if on cue he hit the drum on his stomach twice each letting out a BUM sound each time. "You can also ask Nagi who's currently serving her. But be sure that's the only thing you do!"

"You called me, my Lord." Immediately a servant appeared and bowed to him. 

"Yes. Tell Eri I want her to come here immediately."...He then eyed the cracks in the wall from Rui throwing Enmu and the hole Akaza had punched in the floor and sighed. "And tell Mayla to get some builders over here to repair all the damage. My home is not a fighting ring!" He shot Akaza a look.

"Oh...I apologize for the damage."

The servant bowed. "Of course. Will there be anything else?"

"Mother, I'm hungry. I want lunch."

"*Sigh* And bring food for the child and human from the kitchen."

The servant bowed and left leaving you all there. Akaza again apologized to Kyogai for the hole in the floor before also leaving, but not before coming back to give your hands one last squeeze before leaving. The next to leave was Enmu after you saw him speak to Eri and a few other servants writing all of it down into that notepad of his before he returned to you smiling.

"Well it seems like quite a mystery. Besides myself and four other specific demons, everyone else doesn't smell a specific flower."

"So ..they don't smell anything?"

"Oh no. They do. But it's totally different. You see everyone I spoke to agreed that you smell like flowers..But they can't tell me one specific TYPE of flower. To them it's just an indescribable floral scent that doesn't have any one specific flower where as myself and four others ONLY smell one kind of flower and for each of us it's different."

"So...I smell like flowers to all demons, but it's more of a field of flowers that they can't make out? Except for a few like you and Akaza that smells just one specific flower?"

"Now you're getting it! And for each of us it's different, but I haven't figured out how or why yet." 

You watched as he slipped the notepad back in his coat and lean over to grab his suitcase. "Then what will you do now?"

"Well..First I'm going to contact the families of the demon that Kyogai killed when they chased you in here. Perhaps something in their bodies are affecting you, but since their corpses were burnt, I can't take any direct samples from them. So I'll need the next best thing." He smiled wider. "I'll need to take blood samples from their closest family members and compare it to yours to see if there's any similarities. If there's nothing connecting you to them then we can rule out blood contamination by demon DNA. But first I need Kyogai to pull up their records to locate any family. "

"That sounds like a lot of work and just for me of all people. I'm not that important."

"Oh how wrong you are.~," he cooed and tilted his head, "And.." Teal eyes became half lidded with knowing. "I do want to genuinely help you, Y/n.~" He slightly bowed to you. "I shall do my very..."

He paused mouth open in a smile as two arms wrapped around his middle and pulled him against a warm body. Her body leaned against him in an embrace- THUD!! The suitcase dropped from his hand as his body froze. 

"I know this is asking a lot of work from you, and you can be... difficult, but I do appreciate the help you're giving me and I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you and everyone else. I promise to fix everything as soon as I can. Please don't stress yourself out on my part." You slowly let him go and stepped back watching his shocked face. And smiled. "But maybe just tone down the perverted nature a bit from now on."

"....No one had ever t-t-thanked me genuinely before." The shock melted away as he shivered and smiled genuinely. You blinked as a hand tucked under your chin to raise you head just a bit higher. Huh...when did his teal eyes suddenly get closer? "Do you know I also have a strange medical condition?~" He mumbled closer. "You make my heart beat faster.~" purple eyes widened as his face was five inches awa-

SLAM!!

.....You blinked......And looked at your feet.

The touch was gone. And so was Enmu- No. Enmu was still there but now he was laying at your feet laying face down on the floor as flat as a pancake. Behind him, one of his legs was slightly suspended in thin air, and wrapped around his ankle was a spider thread. You slowly followed the thread to where Rui was standing next to Kyogai and firmly held the thread in his hands.

"Do your business with the drum man and leave." Rui then held up the thread to Kyogai. "Here you go. I get extra food now right?"

Kyogai chuckled before gladly accepting the string just as Enmu looked over his shoulder. "I think I'll miss having this child around. Come along, Enmu. I'll get you the documents." He then turned and walked away dragging the other demon behind him

Enmu was quick to grab the suitcase as he was dragged away before smiling and waving at you. "Good bye, Y/n-chan.~ Parting is such sweet sorrow.~"

You stood there for a long moment before blinking and reaching a hand to slowly rub your face. Yep. You had too much to think about right now. Small footsteps ran up to you before someone small threw their arms around your legs. 

"I don't like him! Mother you best stay away! Come read me more stories instead."

You sighed and reached out to pat the top of his head. Whelp...At least most of your problems would be fixed now. Hopefully Akaza would be able to talk sense into Hantengu. Only time could tell.

-THREE DAYS LATER-

Loud footsteps approached a familiar but annoying door and a large fist knocked loudly on the wooden surface demanding an answer. A moment later footsteps approached and the door opened to a sniffling face.

"Akaza. What do you want here?"

A firm push was enough to get inside and walk his way inside without a fight. Of course a whimpering mess was there to greet him by the fireplace. 

"Hantengu."

"AAAAAAHHH HAHAAAAA!! NO NO!! NO MORE THINGS BEING BLAMED ON ME!!"

"Oh calm down. I didn't come here to drag you back to work. I came to just talk." A few more sobs and whimpers. Sigh. Ok. He'll be nice for her sake. "First of all, I want to congratulate you on your retirement and your sons for getting such a high positions."

"*Sniffle* Thank you."

"Secondly, I apologize for dropping I'm unannounced like this. But we need to talk."

"*Sob* It's alright."

A stern look. "Lastly, I need to let you know something serious. A few weeks ago, you had a girl agree to marry one of your four older sons. But you should know that the human woman didn't really agree to that. She didn't agree to any engagement and she didn't understand what you meant. So any engagement you thought about presenting to your sons is off limits. There will be none. Am I being clear enough to you?"

Silence.

.....A sniffle. "Too late, too late. There's no going b-back now."

"What are you talking about?"

"*Sob* They a-already want to be married. *Sniff* It's not M-My fault young men yearn for a married life."

"Well when they get here tell them it's off!"

"N-No. You don't u-u-understand. *Hic* Th-They are on their way to get her now."

"WHAT?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! T-THREE DAYS AGO!! N-NOT MUCH TIME LEFT TO SAVE!!"

MGA LUGAR AT KARANASAN NA AKING NAGAWA SA VIGAN CITY, ILOCOS SUR AT PAGUDPUD, ILOCOS NORTE

Nagpaplano ka bang magkaroon ng magandang araw? Halika at samahan mo akong tuklasin ang lungsod ng Vigan na itinatag noong huling bahagi ng 1500s, sa panahon ng dominasyon ng mga Espanyol sa Pilipinas, at mayroon pa ring parehong hitsura at pakiramdam makalipas ang daan-daang taon. Isa pa ang Pagudpud na parang Boracay sa norte ay ating tutuklasin.

Calvo, S. (2017, March 6). Ilocos Sur, Philippines: The Heritage Province. Culture With Travel. Retrieved February 22, 2023, from https://www.culturetrav.co/2017/01/11/ilocos-sur-philippines-heritage-province/

Isa sa pinakamatandang bayan sa bansa ay ang Lungsod Vigan na itinatag noong 1572 ng Kastilang si Juan de Salcedo bilang isang sentro ng kalakalan sa rehiyong Ilocos. Naging lunsaran ito ng kalakalang Galeon sa pagitan ng Acapulco at Maynila. Bukod sa kalakalan ng mga produkto, nagsilbing daluyan din ito ng palitan ng mga tao at kultura ng iba’t ibang bansa. Tinawag ni Salcedo itong Villa Ferdinandina bilang parangal sa unang anak na lalaki ni Haring Felipe II ng España.

Ang Vigan ay siya ring matandang kabesera ng buong Ilocos noong hindi pa ito nahahati sa dalawang lalawigan. Ang salitâng “Vigan” ay nagmula sa “kabigaan” o lugar na maraming tanim na “bigaa,” isang uri ng bungang-ugat na gaya ng gabe.

Umalis kami ng madaling araw para mag byahe umabot ang 2 oras ay kami ay nag stop over para kumain ng almusal sa 7/11. Mayroong dalang baon na pangalmusal ang aking tita at bumili rin kami sa 7/11 ng mga pagkain na iba tulad ng cup noodles. Pagkatapos kumain at nagpahinga ay nagpatuloy na ulit kami sa aming byahe at umabot ito ng 6 na oras papuntang Vigan City, Ilocos Sur.

Nang makarating kami sa Vigan ay pinuntahan namin ang mga lugar na sikat rito tulad ng:

Calle Crisologo - Bilang isa sa mga pinakamahusay na napreserbang heritage site sa Vigan, ipinagmamalaki ng Calle Crisologo ang kakaibang kapaligiran na magdadala sa iyo pabalik sa nakaraan. Ang mga pamana ng bahay na itinayo ilang siglo na ang nakakaraan ay nakahanay sa magkabilang panig ng kalye, na naglalarawan sa arkitektura na naiimpluwensyahan ng Espanyol na napanatili sa loob ng ilang siglo. Habnag kami ay naglilibot rito ay bumili din kami ng mga souvenirs na maibibigay namin sa aming mga kaibigan, ibang pamilya at para sa amin din.

2. Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo - Huling pinuntahan namin bago kami magbyahe para pumunta sa Pagudpud ay ang Baluarte Zoo na matatagpuan sa Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Pilipinas. Ito ay itinatag ng politiko at negosyanteng si Chavit Singson. Madami kaming mga hayop na nakita rito at nasiyahan kami a aming pagpunta dito.

Matapos namin sa Baluarte ay kami ay nagbyahe ulit ng 2 oras para makapuntan sa Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Nang makarating kami ay nag-check-in kami kaagad sa aming hotel para maibaba ang mga gamit at makapagpahinga na din. Ang hotel na aming tinuluyan ay Hannah's Beach Resort. Na kung saan kami nagpahinga, lumangoy at nag-relax.

Kinabukasan, kami ay pumunta sa Pagudpud para magpunta sa Bangui Windmills. Bilang isang salitang Ilokano na nangangahulugang "nahulog", ang mga kuwento ng Nacatnagan ay nagsasabi na noong unang panahon, dalawang kalabaw (mga kalabaw ng tubig sa Pilipinas) ang umakyat sa bundok at nahulog sa bangin. Ang bangin ay may hindi nagagalaw na kagubatan na puno ng mga ligaw na hayop, mga ligaw na orchid at mga bihirang pako sa kahabaan ng madulas at matarik na mga slopes nito.

Ang Bangui Wind Farm ay isang wind farm sa Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Pilipinas. Gumagamit ang wind farm ng 20 unit ng 70-meter (230 ft) high Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbine, na nakaayos sa isang hanay na umaabot sa 9-kilometro (5.6 mi) na baybayin mula sa Bangui Bay, na nakaharap sa South China Sea.

Sa Pagtatapos

Ang paglalakbay na ito sa Ilocos Sur at Norte ay sadyang nakakapagaod dahil ginawa lamang namin ito ng 2 araw. Sa pagpunta namin sa Vigan at Pagudpud ay masasabi kong ito ay nakakapagod at pudpud ang aming pwet dahil sa kakaupo para magbyahe dahil para lamang kaming nagbyahe ng matagal sa pagpunta dito.

I just returned from a tour around the country of Europe

Only to come back to your girl and get turned up

When did I get the higher than the fucking ceiling of the World Trade

The fade, hitting harder than the planes, before my dick explodes

Crumbling her resolve as she curls her toes, making her love for me grow

I don’t care about her though, she just wants the attention

Did I mention, that she’s a complete slut and you’re a dumb fuck

A depression slump, never thinking you’re going to find love

Alone and isolated from the rest of the world

The realization making you shrink and curl

The Devil is inside of me and I don’t care who I hurt

The depths that woman will go to see what’s underneath my shirt

Money, drugs, and blood is what keeps me one step ahead

Enemies hands and heads, in the shed, weapons to invade Iran

I cram enough Adderall to study all their plans before the next exam

Acing it without any flaws, none of my troops fall

Raw like the F-16 pilots at Shaw, strapped with bombs and all

You have a paid membership, maybe a Blood or a Crip

Just a tip, a brotherhood is a stronger forge than one forged in scripts

Quick wit it, like Bugs Bunny, I’m a Looney with a hare trigger

Whenever I hear the tune of Seger, I wait until night to put on my moves

Putting the barrel of my AK-47 into your forehead grooves

I’m on so on top of the planet that there’s a tip on the axis

It’s science, like what you’ll feel from the force when the round hits

Prinsipe Teñoso, Job, the Fifth Commandment and Supreme Blessedness [TL]

[Prinsipe Teñoso, Job, ang ika-limang utos at lubos na pagpapala] [sinalin sa wikang Tagalog; maaaring may mga hiram na salita]

“[Ang aking pagbabalat-kayo bilang isang nakatatandang sakiting pulubi] ay panata kong tinutupad upang mapawi ang sumpa ng ama kong hari [na] aking nalapastangan. Ito'y kinakailangan kong gampanan; hangga’t hindi ako pinapatawad, [ako] ay mananatiling pulubi sa harap ng karamihan.”

Noong bumalik si Prinsipe Juan Teñoso sa kaharian ng Valencia, narinig niya ang lingid na ungol ng pighati na humuhugong. Isang tinig na nagsusumamo na wakasan na ang kaniyang pagdurusa. Natutunan [ni Prinsipe Teñoso] mula sa guwardiya ng kastilyo na ito'y [mula sa] isang higante na binihag ng kaniyang ama (Haring Artos) mula sa Ika-pitong Bundok na nahitik ng mga leon.

“Siya ba'y kaaway natin?”

“Hindi po.”

“Eh, bakit siya binihag?”

“Sapagka’t karangalan po ng alinmang kaharian ang magkaroon ng bihag na higante.”

“Hm, kung sakali siya ba'y pawalan ay makapipinsala ba sa ating kaharian o sa ating [mga] mamamayan?”

"Hindi po, marahil. […] Mabait naman ang higante."

Idinagdag pa ng guwardiya ang kawalan ng banta ng higante sa pamamagitan ng pagsisiwalat na nawawala ang mutya ng higante na nagbibigay sa kaniya ng lakas at ang mutyang ito ay kasalukuyang nasa korona ng hari. Noong dinalaw ni Prinsipe Teñoso ang gusali kung saan nakabihag ang higante, natagpuan niya ang higante na nakagapos o nakakadena ang mga galang-galangan at bukung-bukong niya, pinipigilan ang pag-galaw ng higante.

“Marangal na prinsipe, kahabagan na po ninyo ako. Wala po akong nagagawang masama.”

Ang tanging magagawa lamang ng higante ay magmakaawa para sa kaniyang buhay.

“Wakasan na po ninyo aking paghihirap. Patayin na ninyo ako.”

Pagkatapos timbangin ang mga katunayan/ang katotohanan, nagpasiya si Prinsipe Teñoso na pakawalan ang higante. Higit pa doon, kinuha niya ang mutya ng higante mula sa korona ni Haring Artos at sinauli sa kaniya. Maaring palagayin, ang higante ay bumalik lamang sa Ika-pitong Bundok at ginatimpalakan niya ang prinsipe ng mahiwagang panyo sa kalaunan. Ang mahiwagang panyo ay maaaring tumulong kay Prinsipe Teñoso na paamuhin ang mga hayop at magkaloob ng ilang kahilingan sa hinaharap (tulad ng kahilingan ni Prinsesa Flocerfida ng magarang kasuotan). Ngayon, ang kalikasan ng sumpa ni Haring Artos at [ang bungang] pagbabalat-kayo [ni Prinsipe Teñoso] ay hindi nalalaman dahil sa nalalabing kopya ng pelikula ay mga mga nawawalang eksena. Ngunit may kaalaman ang mga manonood hanggang sa winaksi [si Prinsipe Teñoso] sa Valencia at napadpad/naglalaboy sa kaharian ng Hongria. Wala siyang pagkain, salapi o silungan at sa kalaunan ay kinutya siya ng mga lalaking matataas ang antas sa lipunan. Subalit ng mga pagsubok ay ginampanan ni Prinsipe Teñoso ang kaniyang panata hanggang sa huli.

Si Prinsipe Teñoso at ang kaniyang pagkahalintulad kay Job

Si Job ay isang tauhan sa Matandang Tipan ng Bibliya.

“There lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. […] He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants.” (source)

["Mayroong lalaking na ang pangngalan ay Job. Ang taong ito ay walang bintang at matuwid; kinatatakutan niya ang Diyos at iniiwasan ang kasamaan. [...] May-ari siya ng pitong libong tupa, tatlong libong kamelyo, limandaang pamatok ng baka at limandaang mga asno, at malaking bilang ng tagapaglingkod."]

Tulad ni Job, si Prinsipe Teñoso ay isang nakaririwasang lalaki. Bilang prinsipe, siya ay pinagkakalooban ng pinakamainam na pagkain, kasuotan, pagkain, kasuotan, pinag-aralan; mayroon siyang kastilyong tinatawag na tahanan at mga tagapaglingkod na umamaalalay sa kaniyang kumpas at tawag. Tulad ni Job, si Prinsipe Teñoso ay biglang sinubok sa pamamaraang pag-alis ng kaniyang diwasa. Sa balat-kayo niyang anyo, tulad siya ni Job na may sakit sa balat at [si Prinsipe Teñoso] ay pinakita na may dispiguradong mukha.

[Ang isang paliwanag para sa pamagat ng kuwento na labas sa salaysay at sa pangngalan ng prinsipe ay ang [salitang] teñoso ay isang pang-uri sa Espanyol na nangangahulugang "malangib," na maaaring tumulong sa pagtukoy sa bayani o bida ng salaysay habang nasa anyo siya [ng balat-kayo]. Ngunit sa loob ng salaysay ay hindi malinaw kung bakit siya pinangalanan ng pang-uri na iyon. Maging si Haring Artos ay kinikilala siya na Prinsipe Teñoso kahit hindi siya nagbabalat kayo, ngunit ayon sa mga umiiral sa eksena sa pelikula ay hindi natatawag siyang Haring Artos Teñoso.]

Mayroong pagtingin na nagtutulad sa ama ng prinsipe na si Haring Artos sa Amang Diyos ni Job. Maaaring dahil sa mga nawawalang eksena [sa pelikula], o maaaring kahit sa mga hinahanap na eksena ay wala ring paliwanag, hindi alam kung bakit pinarusahan ng ama si Prinsipe Teñoso. Matapos ang lahat, naiintindihan si Prinsipe Teñoso na gumawa ng kabutihan. Siya ay nagpalaya ng nagdurusang nilalang. Ngunit, siya ay pinatuloy na pinarusahan ng walang tiyak na katapusan.

Sa pagsusuring ito ng salaysay ni Job, nababasa:

“The interaction between Job and his friends illustrates the painful irony of his situation. Our knowledge that Job’s punishment is the result of a contest between God and Satan contrasts with Job’s confusion and his friends’ lecturing, as they try to understand why Job is being punished. The premise of the friends’ argument is that misfortune only follows from evil deeds. Bildad instructs Job, “if you are pure and upright, / surely then [God] will rouse himself / for you” and he later goads Job to be a “blameless person” (8:6, 8:20). The language in these passages is ironic, since, unbeknownst to Job or Job’s friends, God and Satan do in fact view Job as “blameless and upright.” This contrast shows the folly of the three friends who ignore Job’s pain while purporting to encourage him. The interaction also shows the folly of trying to understand God’s ways. The three friends and Job have a serious theological conversation about a situation that actually is simply a game between God and Satan. The fault of Job and his friends lies in trying to explain the nature of God with only the limited information available to human knowledge, as God himself notes when he roars from the whirlwind, “Who is this that darkness counsel / by words without / knowledge?” (38:2).

The dominant theme of Job is the difficulty of understanding why an all-powerful God allows good people to suffer. Job wants to find a way to justify God’s actions, but he cannot understand why there are evil people who “harm the childless woman, / and do no good to the widow,” only to be rewarded with long, successful lives (24:21). Job’s friends […] insist that Job has committed some wrongdoing to merit his punishment. God himself declines to present a rational explanation for the unfair distribution of blessings among men. He boasts to Job, “Have you comprehended the / expanse of the earth? / Declare, if you know all this” (38:18). God suggests that people should not discuss divine justice since God’s power is so great that humans cannot possibly justify his ways.”

["Ang pakikitungo sa pagitan ni Job at ng kaniyang mga kaibigan ay inilalarawan ang masakit na kabalintunaan ng kaniyang kalagayan. Ang ating kaalaman sa parusa ni Job na bunga ng paligsahan ng Diyos at ni Satanas ay umiiba sa lito ni Job at sa mga pangaralan ng kaniyang mga kaibigan na parehong sumusubok intindihin kung bakit pinahihirapan si Job. Ang pinagmumulan ng katwiran ng kaniyang mga kaibigan ay ang kasawian ay sumusunod lamang sa masamang kagawian. Tinuturuan ni Bildad si Job na "kung ikaw ay busilak at matuwid, / tiyak na gigisingin [ng Diyos] ay kaniyang sarili / para sa iyo" at kalaunan siya ay tutuksuhin na maging "walang bintang na tao" (8:6, 8:20). Ang mga salita sa mga siping ito ay parikala buhat sa, ng lingid sa kaalaman ni Job o ng mga kaibigan niya, katunayang pagtingin ng Diyos at ni Satanas si Job ay "walang bintang at matuwid." Ang pagkakaibang ito ay pinapakita ang ang kakulangan ng muwang ng tatlong mga kaibigan na hindi pinapansin ang paghihirap o kirot ni Job habang pinaparating na sila'y tumutulong o naghihimok sa kaniya. Ang kanilang pagtutungo o ugnayan ay nagpapakita rin kakulangan ng muwang/kawalang kaalaman o kakayanan na unawain ang mga paraan ng Diyos. Ang tatlong magkakaibigan at si Job ay nagkakaroon ng seryosong teolohikal na usapan ukol sa isang kalagayan/kaganapan na laro lamang sa pagitan ng Diyos at ni Satanas. Ang pagkakamali ni Job at ng kaniyang mga kaibigan ay nakalapag sa pagsubok na ipaliwanag ang kalikasan ng Diyos batay sa may hangganang kaalaman na dunong ng tao, na siyang tinala ng Diyos noong siya'ng umangal sa buhawi "Sino itong na siyang karimlang payo / sa papamagitan ng salitang / walang kaalaman?" (38:2).

Ang nananaig na tema o katangian ng [salaysay ni] Job ay mahirap unawain kung bakit ang isang makapangyarihan sa lahat na Diyos ay pinapahintulot na magdusa ang mga mabubuting tao. Nais niy Job makahanap ng daan na gawing makatwiran ang galaw ng Diyos ngunit hindi niya maunawaan kung bakit mayroong mga masasamang tao na "pinipinsala ang walang anak na babae, / at walang ginagawang mabuti sa balo," at nagigantimpalaan ng mahabang matagumpay na mga buhay (24:21). Ang mga kaibigan ni Job [...] ay ipinipinilit na si Job ay ginawang pagkakamali upang magkamit ng parusa. Ang siyang Diyos ay tumatanggi magbigay ng makatwirang paliwanag sa hindi patas na pamimigay ng pagpapala sa sangkatauhan. Iniyabang niya kay Job, "Nauuwaan mo na ba ang / kalawakan ng mundo? / Ihayag, kung itong lahat ay iyong nalalaman" (38:18). Iminungkahi ng Diyos na ang mga tao ay hindi tumalakay ng dibinong katarungan sapagkat ang ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos ay siyang higit na hindi maaaring katwiranin ng mga tao ang kaniyang pamamaraan."]

Si Haring Artos ay hindi Diyos: Kakulangan ng Muwang ng Tao

Ang isa pang pag-uunawa ay ang hindi pagbasa kay Haring Artos bilang halintulad ng Diyos ngunit bilang isang taong may kakulangan/nagkakamali rin.

Sa kasamaang palad, hindi mahirap i-ugnay ang hindi-makatotohanang kaganapan na Haring Artos na bumihag ng higanteng tao (na tao pa rin sa huli ng lahat) para sa kaniyang kahangaan/kalakihan at ng kaniyang kaharian sa makatotohanang kalunos-lunos na kaganapan na mga pantaong zoo (liwasang karaniwang panghayop lamang). Ang mga manlulupig ng mga katutubong nasa ngayong tinatawag na Pilipinas ay nilagay sila [doon] bilang “display of cultural and economic superiority [pagpamalas ng kahigitan [ng manlulupig] batay sa kultura at ekonomiya]." Binihag ni Haring Artos ang higante bilang tropeo ng kahigitan. Hindi lingid sa pansin na ang higante ay nasa "makalikasang" kasuotan habang ang mga reyal (hari, reyna, prinsipe, prinsesa, atbp.) ng Valencia at Hongria ay kinasi ang damit sa mga Europeong kasuotan.

Pitagan ang iyong Ama't Ina

Iyan ang ika-limang utos (bilang sa Sampung Utos) na matatagpuan sa Bibliya. Sa isang pag-unawa, maaaring sabihin na nilabag ito ni Prinsipe Teñoso noong hindi niya pinanindigan ang pasiya ng kaniyang ama na bihagin ang higante. Hindi niya pinanindigan noong sinauli niya sa higante ang mutya na ginamit bilang palamuti sa korona ng hari.

How do you honor your father when he’s evil? [Paano mo ipipitagan ang iyong ama kung siya ay masama?] Sa isang sanaysay ni Jennifer Greenberg, pinaliwanag niya kung paano nagbuno ang kaniyang kalooban sa suliraning ito sa kaniyang totoong buhay. Ang ama ni Jennifer ay mapang-abuso o nagmamalabis at sa loob ng kanilang tahanan ang "pagpitagan" ay nangangalahulugang hindi pagsabi ng katotohanan ng pinsala na ginagawa ng kaniyang ama sa mga tao.

“As I matured, I was torn between my desire to please God and my need to escape my father. I agonized over the fifth commandment—“Honor your father and your mother” (Ex. 20:12)—and felt like a fake Christian for hating my dad’s behavior.

[…] As smoke billowed down the sides of Mount Sinai, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the people of God feared he’d destroy them. But Moses said, “Do not be afraid! God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning” (Ex. 20:20).

“Don’t fear God, but fear God” seems contradictory, but as an abuse survivor I found it comforting. Now that I was safe and recovering from abuse, I realized it meant: Don’t fear an angry, violent God who will terrorize you like your father did. Fear a holy and just God who wants you to be good because he loves you.

If one function of the Ten Commandments is to enable us to express love to Jesus (John 14:15), then the fifth command is no exception. The primary aim of “Honor your father and mother” is to honor God.

And here’s where we come to the perspective-shifting, abuse-breaking, lie-crushing, heart-healing truth of the matter. How do we emulate Christ when we’re confronted with evil? We reject evil. How do we follow Jesus when we’re commanded to sin? We defy wicked authorities. How do we honor the Spirit of truth (John 14:17) when we’re pressured to lie? We speak truth boldly, even if that means a lion’s den, a fiery furnace, or a blood-soaked cross.

In a beautiful plot twist of grace, keeping the fifth commandment means refusing to submit to evil parents. We cannot obey both God and evildoers. We follow Jesus despite them.”

["Sa aking pag-mature o pag-gulang/hinog, ako'y nahahati sa aking nais na magbigay-lugod sa Diyos at sa nais na takasan ang aking ama. Ako'y namighati sa ika-limang utos—“Pitagan ang iyong ama't ina” (Ex. 20:12)—at pakiramdam ko ako'y huwarang Kristiyano dahil kinamumuhian ko ang gawi ng aking ama.

[...] Habang bumuga ang asó sa gilid ng Bundok Sinai, ang lintik ay kumislap, ang kulog ay umungol, at ang mga tao ng Diyos ay natakot na wawasakin sila. Ngunit sinabi ni Moses, "Huwag kayong matakot! Sinusubukan lamang kayo ng Diyos, upang ang takot sa Diyos ay pipigilan kayong magkasala" (Ex. 20:20).

"Huwag kang matakot sa Diyos, ngunit matakot ka sa Diyos" ay waring taliwas [sa isa't isa], ngunit bilang nanaig o nabubuhay subalit ng pang-a-abuso o pagmamalabis, natagpuan ko itong nakagiginhawa. Ngayong ako'y ligtas at nanunumbalik mula sa abuso, namalayan ko ang ibig sabihin nito: huwag kang matakot sa galit at marahas na Diyos na pagmamalupitan ka tulad ng iyong ama. Matakot ka sa isang banal at makatarungang Diyos na nais kang maging mabuti dahil mahal ka niya.

Kung isa sa mga gamit ng mga Sampung Utos ay pangyarihin tayong ipahiwatig ang pagmamahal kay Hesus (John 14:15), ang ika-limang utos ay hindi namumukod-tangi. Ang pangunahing layunin ng "pitagan ang iyong ama't ina" ay ang pagpitagan sa Diyos.

At dito tayo nakarating sa nakakababago ng pananaw, nakakabasag ng abuso, nakakasira ng kasinungalingan, nakakagaling/ginhawa ng puso na katotohanan ng ganap. Paano natin tutularan si Kristo kapag tayo'y nahaharap sa kasamaan? Tatanggihan natin ang kasamaan. Paano natin susundan si Hesus kapag tayo'y inuutusang magkasala? Susuwayin natin ang mga tampalasang awtoridad o puno. Paano natin ipitagan ang espirito o kaluluwa ng katotohanan (John 14:17) kapag tayo'y pinipilit magsinungaling? Mapangahas nating sabihin ang katotohanan, kahit ito ay [tutuloy sa] yungib ng leon, nagbabagang pugon o krus na nabababad sa dugo.

Sa isang magandang biyaya na pagbabago ng balangkas, ang pagpapapanatili/pagsunod sa ika-limang utos ay nangangahulugang hindi magpapasakop sa masasamang mga magulang. Hindi natin masusunod parehong Diyos at mga gumagawa ng masama. Susundin natin si Hesus subalit nila."]

Habang ang salaysay [ng Prinsipe Teñoso] ay hindi gaanong idiniin ang maling ginawa ng kaniyang mortal o tao lamang na ama, sa pamamagitan ng pagtaliwas ni Prinsipe Teñoso sa mga pasiya ni Haring Artos ay natuloy ang pagpitagan niya sa kaniyang Ama sa Langit (ang Diyos). Oo, sa kalaunan ay natuloy ang pagpitagan niya sa kaniyang mortal na ama sa kaniyang sariling paraan, sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggap ng parusa ng walang daing.

Ang Walong Beatitudes / Lubos na Pagpapala

Sa aklat ni San Mateo, may tala ng mga pangkat ng tao binibiyayahan ng lubos ng pagpapala. Ang higante ay waring "poor in spirit" o naghihikahos (na hindi nalilimitahan sa kakulangang pang-ekonomiya lamang); siya ay walang laban sa kawalan ng katarungan sa [kamay ng] mga makapangyarihan. Sa isang paraan, si Prinsipe Teñoso ay naghihikahos din, sapagkat wala siyang nagawa upang salungatin ang pagwaksi sa kaniya ni Haring Artos mula sa kinalakihan niyang kaharian, dahil lamang nanindigan siya para sa isang naapi. Ayon sa unang beatitude, sa kanila ang Kaharian ng Langit.

Ang ikalawang pangkat ay kinabibilangan ng "maaamo" o magpakumbaba/mababang-loob na mga tao. Si Prinsipe Teñoso at si Prinsesa Flocerfida ay maaaring isipin na nabibilang din sa pangkat na ito. Parehas nilang tinanggap ang pagtanggal ng kanilang mga ama ng kanilang mga diwasa at para dito, ayon sa ikalawang beatitude, ay kanilang "mamanahin ang lupa." "Ang lupa" ay iniisip na sagisag ng lupa ng Ama sa Langit o Kalangitan (/Kaharian sa Langit). Maaaring basahin ng may hangganan na ang maamo ay mag-p-“possess their inheritance in peace” ("makukuha ang kanilang mana ng mapayapa"). Parehas na tinatanggap muli sina Prinsipe Teñoso at Prinsesa Flocerfida ng kanilang mga ama sa kanilang mga kaharian, maipapalagay iyon, na maaaring magpahiwatig ng ganoong ibig sabihin.

"Silang nagdadalamhati" ay tumutukoy sa mga taong nag-s-“suffer in oneself and others” ("nagdurusa sa sarili at para sa iba"), at kung magiging mapagbigay, maaaring maging bilang si Prinsipe Teñoso at Prinsesa Flocerfida sa pangkat na ito sapagkat sila ay compassionate (ang compassion ay may literal na ibig sabihin na “a suffering in another” ("pagdurusa sa iba"). [Ang compassionate ay maaari ring isalin sa Tagalog bilang "nakikiramay."] Gayunman, ang higante ay hindi maikakaila na nagdurusa at siya'y humiling pa nga ng kaawan ng kamatayan. Ang mga nabibilang sa pangkat na binanggit sa ikatlong beatitude ay siyang pagiginhawain ng Kaharian ng Langit.

Ang ika-apat na beatitude ay nagsabi na "mapapalad ang nangagugutom at nangauuhaw sa katuwiran: sapagka't sila'y bubusugin." (pinagmulan) Katulad ng binanggit noon, si Prinsipe Teñoso ay nakasaksi ng kawalang-katarungan ukol sa higante at siya ngang nagtamo [ng hustisya]. Kaniyang napalaya ang taong iyon at pinalakas dulot ng pagsasauli ng mutiya niya. Sa kalaunang bahagi ng salaysay, noong sinubukan ng ibang prinsipe ang papuri sa mga "bayaning gawain" ni Prinsipe Teñoso, natamo niya ang hustisya sa pamamagitan ng nasiwalat ng katotohanan sa mga nangangailangang makaalam nito.

Ayon sa ika-anim na beatitude, "Mapapalad ang mga may malinis na puso: sapagka't makikita nila ang Dios." (pinagmulan) Ang "malinis ang puso" ay inuunawa bilang "good intention" ("mabuting hangarin"). “This […] "heart” is most of all required in the works of mercy and zeal in behalf of one’s neighbor. And it stands to reason that the blessing, promised to this continuous looking for God’s glory, should consist of the supernatural “seeing” of God Himself, the last aim and end of the heavenly kingdom in its completion.“ (pinagmulan) ["Ang [...] puso[ng ito] ay pinakakailangan sa gawaing mahabagin at pagmamahal na kumikilos na inaalang-alang ang kapwa. Kaya makatwirang ipaliwanag na ang pagpapala, na ipinangako sa patuloy na paghahanap ng luwalhati ng Diyos, ay siyang bubuin ng kakayahang supernatural o makababalaghang "pagkita" sa Diyos, ang huling layunin at wakas ng Kaharian ng Langit sa kaniyang kabuuan."] Si Prinsipe Teñoso ay nagpakita ng mabuting hangarin noong pinalaya niya ang higante, gayunpaman kung siya ay may magagawang pagkakamali, isang gawa na walang mabuting hangarin, mayroon pa ring landas para sa kaniya.

Ipinahayag ng ikalimang beatitude na "mapapalad ang mga mahabagin: sapagka't sila'y kahahabagan." (pinagmulan) Ang kahabagan na tinutukoy sa huli ay tumutukoy sa Divine Mercy (dibinong kahabagan). Waring Kristiyano si Prinsipe Teñoso at sa pananampalataya[ng Kristiyano] ay mayroong mga landas para "bumawi sa kasalanan."

"Mapapalad ang mga mapagpayapa: sapagka't sila'y tatawaging mga anak ng Dios." Iyan ang ika-pitong beatitude samantalang ang ika-watlong beatitude ay "mapapalad ang mga pinaguusig dahil sa katuwiran: sapagka't kanila ang kaharian ng langit." Ipinakita ni Prinsipe Teñoso na siya'y nabibilang sa mga pangkat na binanggit sa dalawang beatitudes na iyon ayon sa pangyayari na ugnay sa kaniya at sa higante.

Sa pagtatapos, ang salaysay ni Prinsipe Teñoso ay may malinaw na mga Kristiyanong tema o katangian sa pagkakahalintulad ni Prinsipe Teñoso kay Job, ang pagsunod niya sa ika-limang utos at sa kaniyang mga ugnay sa mga beatitudes o lubos na pagpapala.

LAKBAY SANAYSAY

Dream Destination: South Korea

Isang araw ako'y naglakbay patungo sa bansang puno ng kasaysayan, sining, at kagandahan. Ang aking layunin ay maranasan ang kasaysayan at kultura ng isa sa mga pinakapinagkakaguluhan at pinararangalan ngayon, ang bansang South Korea. Sa paglalakbay na ito, ako'y nagtungo sa mga kilalang lugar at nakatagpo ng mga taong nagbigay buhay sa bawat sulok ng bansang ito.

Ang aking unang pagdaong ay sa Seoul, ang makulay na kapital ng South Korea. Sa gitna ng modernong arkitektura, natagpuan ko ang mga labi ng kasaysayan. Sa Gyeongbokgung Palace, nadama ko ang kahalagahan ng kanilang kultura at ang taglay nitong yaman na hindi kayang burahin ng panahon. Sa bawat hakbang, ako'y nadala sa panahon ng mga Haring Joseon, na kung saan ang kanilang mga palasyo ay saksi sa kasaysayan ng kanilang lahi.

Sa aking paglalakbay, hindi ko rin pinalagpas ang pagkakataon na masubukan ang kanilang klasikong pagkain. Ang bulgogi, bibimbap, at kimchi ay ilan lamang sa mga hinanda ng mga lokal na kusinero na nagdulot sa akin ng kakaibang lasa at kasiyahan. Sa bawat kagat, naramdaman ko ang pagmamahal ng mga Koreans sa kanilang tradisyonal na lutuin, na puno ng lasa at damdamin.

Pagkatapos ng makulay na karanasan sa Seoul, nagdesisyon akong maglakbay patungo sa probinsya ng Jeonju, na kilala bilang Food Capital of South Korea. Naroon, ako'y inanyayahan ng isang lokal na pamilya na matutunan ang sikreto ng kanilang pamosong bibimbap. Kasama sila, natutunan ko ang tamang paraan ng paghahanda ng bibimbap, mula sa paggawa ng sahog hanggang sa pagkakaluto ng kanilang espesyal na sangkap. Sa bawat galak ng pamilyang iyon habang nagluluto, nadama ko ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng malasakit at pagmamahalan sa loob ng isang tahanan.

Isa sa mga hindi malilimutang karanasan sa aking paglalakbay ay ang pagbisita sa mga kilalang K-drama filming locations. Sa Nami Island, nadama ko ang kilig at saya na dala ng mga eksena sa mga paboritong K-drama. Ang lugar ay puno ng mga puno ng kahoy na nagbibigay ng romantikong atmospera, tila ba ako'y isa sa mga karakter sa isang K-drama na nagmamahalan sa gitna ng kagubatan. Sa Petite France, isang temang Pranses na pook na kilala sa mga K-drama tulad ng "My Love from the Star," natutunan ko ang kahalagahan ng pagpapahalaga sa kultura ng iba't ibang bansa.

Sa pagtatapos ng aking paglalakbay sa South Korea, ako'y umalis ng may pusong puno ng pasasalamat at kasiyahan. Ang bansang ito ay hindi lamang puno ng makasaysayang mga lugar at delectable na kainan, kundi higit sa lahat, ito'y tahanan ng mga taong puno ng pagmamahal sa kanilang kultura at kasaysayan. Ang aking paglalakbay sa South Korea ay hindi lamang nagbigay sa akin ng magandang karanasan, kundi nagbukas din sa akin ng mga pinto patungo sa kultura ng ibang bansa. Sa bawat karanasang ito, ako'y nagkaroon ng mas malalim na pag-unawa sa kahalagahan ng pagtangkilik at pagpapahalaga sa iba't ibang kultura, marami rin akong nakilalang tao at nagkaroon ng kakaibang pagmamahal sa bansang South Korea na hindi kayang burahin ng panahon. Hanggang dito nalang ang aking paglalakbay

"Pagitan"

Isang pagbalik tanaw sa mundong una ay isang kawalan pero ginawa nating isang makabuluhan, ang mundong pinagtagpi nating dalawa

Isang pagtanaw sa isang bilog na istorya, simula ay estranghero sa isa't-isa at sa huli ay isa na lamang alamat na inukit sa bato na winasak mo

Habang palubog ng paunti-unti ang haring araw sa gitna ng kalmadong karagatan ay paurong ng paurong ang oras na tila pinapapunta ako sa isang kapitulo ng nakaraan

Nandito na pala ang ako sa pintuang papasok sa mundong ating iniwan

Habang palapit ako ng palapit sa pintuang iyon ay kalabit ng kalabit ang puso kong nagaalinlangan kung pasulong ba ang gagawin ko o paatras na parang ginawa mo

Malumanay na kinuha ng aking kamay ang munting susi sa aking bulsa

Sa kalagitnaan ng pagpasok ko sa susing kulay abo na't kinakalawang pa ay may pumipigil sakin

Pinapahinto ako ng nasaktan kong puso na nangagpasabi sa lahat ng ginawa mo at nagtatanong kung tutuloy pa ba ako

Subalit buo ang loob ko upang ipamukha sa kanya na nandito na ako BUO at MATAPANG na haharap at di kakalimutan ang ating nagdaan

Unti-unting binuksan ang lagusan sating panahon at ang tunog nito'y musika sa aking tainga na nakakapagbingi saking isipan

Ako ay nagiging tuliro

Tumama ang liwanag sakin kasabay ng pagbalik ng lahat

Ayaw ako ng aking mundo at napapad sa isang dako

Doon tayo pinagtagpo parang eklips na minsan lang nagaganap

Naalala ko pa ang sinabi mo na gagawa tayo ng isang mundo at aalis dito sa reyalidad na nagpapasakit satin

Binuhos ko ang lahat, Ganoon ka rin pero sa di ko mawaring dahilan ay kung bakit mo ako iniwan sa kalagitnaan ng ating kasiyahan?

Kung bakit mo ako nilisan noong mga panahong ikaw na ang aking sandalan?

Kung bakit nagawa kong baguhin ang pagtingin ko sa lahat dahil sa mga pangako mong akala ko hanggang dulo?

Kung bakit ba kita natagpuan sa gitna ng mga pasakit?

Mga masasayang ala-ala na naging bangungot sakin na bumibisita sa tuwing malalim na ang gabi ay ang unti-unting sumasaksak sa puso kong pinalambot mo ngunit dinurog mo

Ang tagpuang tinadhana nga ba ng panahon? O kwadradong mundo na sa bawat sulok ay ikaw at ako ang nandoon?

Maaituturing bang mundo ang lahat ng ito?

Ako ay pabalik na kasabay ng paglitaw ng umaga, lilisanin na ang mundo sa pagitan ng kawalan at kabuluhan

Ala Ala sa Munting Vigan

Vigan, isa pinaka pinupuntahan na pasyalan sa Pilipinas. Sa aking pagkaka alam ito ay ang pinaka matanda na lugar na naitayo nuon taong 451 madalas na dinarayo ng mga turista. Ang vigan ay isang napakagandang lugar at hindi iyon maitatanggi nino man. Sa kabila ng mga pede mong malaman sa kanilang kasaysayan at mga nakakamanghang lugar at tanawin na pede mong punta dito

Sa aking paglalakbay sa Vigan, hindi ko inakalang na meron sobrang ganda na simbahan.at napaka lake den ng loob ng simbahan na ito. at madami pa ang mga simbahan

Tinatagong Kasaysayan

Noong 1572, ipinadala ni Haring Philip II si Kapitan Juan de Salcedo kasama ang isang maliit na grupo ng mga sundalo upang tuklasin ang baybayin ng Los Ilocanos. Naglayag sila mula sa Maynila noong Mayo 20, 1572 at nakarating sa Vigan noong Hunyo 12, 1572.

Sanggunian: History - Vigan City

Bago dumating ang mga Espanyol, ang mga mangangalakal mula sa China ay naglayag sa Isla de Bigan upang makipagkalakal ng mga kalakal tulad ng ginto, waks, at iba pang produkto mula sa kabundukan ng Cordilleras. Ang ilan sa mga mangangalakal na ito, mga Chinese na imigrante, ay nanirahan sa Vigan at nagsimula ng isang halo ng mga kultura. Ang mga inapo ng mga imigrante na ito ay kilala bilang mga Bigueño.

Pagtatapos

Marami akong natutunan sa aking paglalakbay sa isang lugar na binabalot ng kasaysayan at historya Kabilang na riyan ang ganda ng lugar at mga simbahan Natutunan ko rin sa aking sarili na ako ay interesadong tuklasin ang mga tinatagong ala ala at historya ng isang lugar. Masaya ako sa aking mga natutunan sa aking paglalakbay, sa lugar man o sa aking sarili.Inaasahan ko ang paglalakbay sa ibang lugar. Hanggang sa susunod, bye-bye.
