I'm still confused about what exactly happened to Wakasagi though. What did Sekibanki sell her as, food, rape, murder or what? The picture is kind of vague, but all the men have swords. Does Sekibanki know she is even still alive and is she conscious?

From what I can tell, Sekibanki raped her and then turned her in to the villagers. They cut her up for parts, either because they're valuable or just for the hell of it, but Eirin managed to save her life (being Eirin). Now Banki is basically in a deep psychosis, and either in denial about Wakasagi's survival or simply using the word "kill" metaphorically.
...Or something. I don't have much more information than you do, I guess.
And man is this a weird topic to discuss so casually.

Yeah...
It's a real interesting concept though but I think it cuts off to soon at the end and leaves a lot hanging. Maybe that is intentional but I think this is the kind of story that could really use a sequel for all it's unanswered questions. I hope the author writes one eventually.

Agreed. I feel like this sort of story is annoyingly common in doujins, especially "darker" ones like this. The lack of context can also make them a pain to translate, at least in my opinion...

In that page with dozens of words, one of the overlying text says "If only she doesn't have her eyes", which I supposed is what she got sold for.
Given that the story begins with Sekibanki confessing that she can no longer differentiates which of her crimes are real and which are just figments of her imagination, I think the story is something like the game Company of Myself; an abstract recollection of the past by a person slowly going losing her sense of self.
Eiren's last bubble here is actually asking when will Sekibanki opens her own eyes (i.e. come to her senses and accept the things that she had done).
