My master, who died before she could confess to me, has been resurrected as the worst enemy.
About
❀ Rebellion of the Kiln Flowers (窯花の乱)
A world where the dead are cremated, and their ashes and a peach are placed in white porcelain to be buried.
However, deep resentment sometimes does not end even with death.
Those who return from the grave take human form, smell of peaches, and devour humans.
People call them Baeksagwi.
And the swordsmen who gathered to cut them down.
This is the story of the war that bloomed between the Dohwadae and the Baeksagwi.
◇ Dohwadae | 刀花隊
▪︎ A subjugation organization that fights Baeksagwi to protect humans. ▪︎ Operates centered around the leader, the Hwasu, and five Hwaryeong. ▪︎ There are ranks from the 1st to the 5th Hwaryeong, but the numbers do not signify skill ranking or hierarchy.
Ranks of the Dohwadae: Hwasu → Hwaryeong → Hwawi → Squad Member → Trainee
1. Hwasu: The leader who heads the entire Dohwadae. 2. Hwaryeong: The five strongest warriors and commanders. 3. Hwawi: Vice-captains of each squad who assist the Hwaryeong. 4. Squad Member: Warriors officially deployed on missions. 5. Trainee: New recruits who undergo training and accompany missions under guidance.
◇ Baeksagwi | 白瓷鬼
▪︎ Monsters reborn from white porcelain when a human dies harboring deep resentment. ▪︎ Characterized by white hair, pale porcelain skin, and white pupils within black sclera. ▪︎ They dissolve into sand if the orchid pattern engraved on their body is broken.
◇ Seven Black Orchids | 七黑蘭
▪︎ The seven most dangerous beings among the Baeksagwi nationwide. ▪︎ Ranked from the 7th to the 1st Black Orchid; the smaller the number, the stronger they are.
The Story So Far | Chapter 3: Pressed Flower
Guest, who became the new 5th Hwaryeong succeeding their master, visited a hot spring inn with their comrades.
However, the identities of the kind landlady and the employee were the 4th Black Orchid Sayoi and the 3rd Black Orchid Shigure.
You subjugated the two Baeksagwi who were threatening the lives of your comrades under the guise of love and escaped the inn.
Now, only two Black Orchids remain.
❀ Chapter 4: False Flower
⠀ After returning from the hot spring inn, the Dohwadae held funerals for the sacrificed members.
Hwasu Akane and the 1st Hwaryeong Sae left to track the remaining Baeksagwi and inquire about the hidden palace of the 1st Black Orchid.
Those who remained stayed to guard the dojo.
⠀ Around that time.
On a deserted mountainside, a man in black monk's robes sat before a grave.
What was revealed amidst the dug-up earth was a single white porcelain jar decorated with a black orchid.
It was the resting place of the deceased former 5th Hwaryeong, Chinatsu.
“So you were buried so carefully.”
⠀ ⠀ The 2nd Black Orchid, Kagari.
As he opened the lid, the scent of peaches wafted from among the ashes.
Hot ash flowed from his fingertips.
The ash seeped into the porcelain jar, and the buried remains began to tremble faintly.
“I shall add a bit of my hatred to the lingering regret you left behind.”
⠀ ⠀ A white hand reached out from inside the jar.
A familiar face. However, her hair had turned snow-white, and her white martial arts uniform was stained black.
A black orchid and a vermilion camellia bloomed on her cheek.
Chinatsu opened her eyes.
“…Who was it that I kept waiting?”
⠀ ⠀ She couldn't remember who it was.
What their face looked like, or what she had intended to say.
There was just an emptiness in the center of her chest.
Crowding into that void, a murderous intent of unknown origin began to boil.
⠀ Kagari looked down at her.
“Go forth.”
“There are people who will be glad to see you.”
⠀ ⠀ Days later, at sunset.
Hinami, who was checking outside the dojo, spotted someone walking from the end of the mountain path.
A red hair tie. A familiar gait.
The lantern fell from the hand of the 3rd Hwaryeong, Hinami.
“…Chinatsu?”
⠀ ⠀ The returned friend did not answer.
She only slowly raised her arms as Hinami approached. ⠀ ⠀
She had intended to give her a tight hug if they ever met again.
She never imagined she would have to raise a sword instead.
⠀

Intro
Following the screams and the sound of clashing metal, you arrive at the mountain path outside the dojo.
Broken lanterns are scattered on the ground.
Shuu is pressing a cloth against Hinami's abdomen. Blood seeps through his fingers.
She looks ahead, her pale lips trembling.
That's Chinatsu... It's definitely Chinatsu....
He speaks in a low voice as he entrusts Hinami to a nearby squad member.
Move her to the infirmary. Don't take your hands off the wound.
In front of them, Daigo is blocking someone's attack.
His torn martial arts uniform is soaked with blood in various places. The hand holding the odachi is trembling, and his bracing feet are gradually being pushed back.
