EP.14 EP1. lord’s hero
“… … yes?”
Evil is something that should never be saved…
As if she did not understand the words, the girl began to widen her eyes.
But the Transcendent did not reproach such an ignorant girl.
Simply being ignorant is never a sin.
“You must have been taught that justice is just right. Whatever the reason, it is the right thing to do, so you must firmly believe in what everyone calls justice.”
I was just teaching.
Like a hand resting helplessly on the floor, he gently stroked the girl’s face with a small, slender hand.
“But justice, at least as I understood it, was not just upright. It is close to a symbol of human imperfection, created by excluding things that we cannot embrace.”
“What do you mean? that… … .”
“If you try to carry something you can’t afford, you will eventually fall apart.”
“…….”
“… … Nella.”
A transcendent who calls the girl’s name again.
“According to your words, among those who work here and there now, there will be some who have participated in the work, voicing their injustice like the one who was beheaded by your father at that time.”
The youthful tenderness in that voice was not so different from anything he had ever seen.
The person in front of me was still Moa Bread.
Unlike herself, who was gradually breaking down even at this moment, she still maintained her own heart.
“Having harmed others,
Even those who break the law will have a reason to do so. Or, despite being faithful to the law, not being rewarded by someone’s malice,
There will be some who have fallen into the abyss. And even in the face of such people, you might think that a society that excludes them is incompetent and wrong.
There will be. It is understandable that I feel pity for them, and that maybe what my father was doing was wrong.”
The cruel truth taught with such a carefree face begins to slowly touch the heart of a girl who is only ignorant.
I don’t have the knowledge or experience to understand it all.
“But the world has no obligation to care for the individual.”
Even so, I can feel that every word that comes out of her mouth is engraved in her mind.
“Even if this land
Even if the civilization in which it is located has been established over a long period of time. Even if the social system was perfectly established, those who use it
Unless you understand, remember, and use everything perfectly, errors are bound to happen… … .”
It is said that society can only be maintained by accepting such errors and excluding the irregulars created by it.
“As more and more people are excluded from embracing in this way, conflict is inevitable in this world.”
Separation of good and evil before justice in a large society.
It is the destiny that all human beings are born with, which inevitably arises because human beings are imperfect beings.
“So as a human
Those who are born have to make a choice. Will they live by giving up something to save something? Or will they embrace everyone?
Desperate at the reality of not being able to, will you turn your back on them? … .”
Yes, because the world doesn’t care about the individual.
Therefore, never sympathize with those who have given up on conformity. Those who give up conformity should never be understood by them.
The only thing returning to the lamentation of this cruel world will be further despair at the reality that will never change.
“Therefore, those who live in conformity with society should never use evil as an object of salvation.”
The backlight that falls on the girl who puts that conclusion in her mouth.
Although the shadowed face cannot be seen in detail, Nella could not take her eyes off the face.
“Therefore, those who betrayed society… … .Never expect anyone to understand.”
I just can’t see it with my eyes.
The moment I met that face, I felt something drawn from the depths of my heart.
That would certainly be called empathy.
That hidden face, the human emotion that can be seen from the face that has only been calm so far…
Yes, at this moment the girl is mouthing my realization.
Although they do not fully understand humans yet, they are sympathizing with the ‘sadness’ of the transcendent who has realized a part of it.
– Kudangtang!
But why do you feel that way?
This heartless world didn’t even give me time to find the answer.
“Uh-huh! Yes, I knew it would be there!!”
The door of the Ferris wheel was torn off abruptly.
With him, the space of the two of them was brought up to reality, and their gaze began to turn toward the entrance.
The one with the door torn off was a being with steel wings on its back. The gas mask on the crow’s face written on it was considered a symbol of a villain on the news.
‘Villain – Dead Sky.’
A-class villain who performs evil deeds using the sky as the stage.
“Find prey~”
The moment the eye light shines under the gas mask, a ‘bang!’ sound resounds.
The bomb attached to the Ferris wheel was detonated, and immediately after that, the body of the Ferris wheel began to shake violently.
“Oh, no!”
A body that slides on a sudden incline.
Afterwards, Nella began to scream and reach out towards Moa, who was falling through the torn door.
The moment when I managed to catch the falling body by barely squeezing the door.
However, the weight that fell on her body at that moment was too much for a young girl to bear.
“…you’re being too reckless.”
The Transcendent who understood the situation calmly spoke to the girl.
This girl is so weak. No matter how small the body, it would be impossible to support this fragile body.
“Let go of your hand.”
“I can’t, I can’t!!”
Still, the girl did not let go.
To be honest, it’s natural to leave it here.
“If it stays like this, both will fall.”
“I don’t want to let go. Please, please don’t say that.”
I just put my hands on the gaps in the door where I need to support my body, and use both hands to pull something out.
But the balance is at stake.
The Ferris wheel, once tilted, shows no sign of returning to its original state. … .
“For the first time… … .”
Still, the girl does not let go.
no, cry
“I mean, it’s the first time I met a friend…”
The conflict that arose because I had no choice but to become an adult so quickly.
A person who could not share with anyone the doubts aroused in a society that worships heroes appeared who taught him the answer, who had been living alone so lonely.
Yes, this person will be able to embrace even this kind of self.
I didn’t understand all of those words, but wouldn’t it be something I could learn step by step in the future?
“please… … . Please help me!! Anyone is welcome, so please… please save my friend!!”
But all that desperate and weak girl could do was cry.
“I hate this!”
I hope that someone will come with this scream.
Hoping that the present cry will win the sympathy of those with malice.
“This is such a tearful friendship.”
But ironically.
Those who now extend their malice toward them are already distorted.
Even if there was no evil without a cause, even if they had entered an affair due to unavoidable circumstances, those who gave up on being considered were those who, on the other hand, had forgotten how to be considerate of others.
“By the way, this guy is a person who really likes to interfere with things like that. If you give me a shot here, I think I’ll be very upset… … !”
At the moment when such malice spreads into incomprehensible madness, hesitation gradually begins to grow from the fingertips that are firmly clenched.
It’s just painful, scary, and confusing.
I am constantly reminded of my wish that all these moments are over.
“Don’t worry.”
But the Transcendent was still trying to beat even such a girl.
Nella wakes up to her soft voice.
As always, what came into my blurred vision was the friendly smile he showed me.
“Even if we let go of this hand, our fate will never end… … .”
Yes, even if you fall from here, you will not die.
Even if I get weaker as I get weaker after the war on that day, it doesn’t mean that all my strength is gone.
If you use the power given to you by the person who gave you a ‘revelation’, it will be possible to get out of this place.
of course… … .
Of course, if we use that power, it will take longer to achieve the revelation, but at least we can avoid the crisis for now.
‘So it’s okay.’
Unlike then, I have a reason to live now.
A moment to reflect on that point, and finally to unleash that power by flicking the raised hand.
– Aww!!
Something that flew from the ground broke into the scene, and struck the body of the monster who was aiming a gun, and pushed him out of his seat.
The body of a monster that staggers in shock.
Immediately after that, his gaze turned to something lodged in his body.
“What, what? what… … .”
“This kid.”
high-pressure voice.
With him, the afterimage returned to its original form, and only then did the figure of the person holding my neck caught my eye in the eyes of Dead Sky.
A funny shape covered with a bread bag.
However, in the eyes staring at him from within, he could feel the extreme murderous intent he had never seen before.
“Now, who are you reaching out those dirty hands to… … .”
what the hell
Who is this person, who is suddenly flying into the sky, his domain, and is threatening him?
“Hey, damn it!!”
Unable to withstand that spirit, Dead Sky started to activate the device in my body.
Guns appeared with their chests wide open.
It is a weapon built using a gift of body modification, and if the bullet is loaded with superpower, it can show the power to tear apart the shield made of superhuman power.
-Tutatatata!
However, the man hit by the attack is not pushed out.
Even though I was a mop in front of me, I was able to show off my aggression and just swing my fist with all my might while clinging to his body.
In that state, his fists were struck several times, and a fricative sound resounded throughout Death Sky’s body.
The moment when the delicate mechanical devices built into the body were damaged by the current impact.
“Hey, you crazy bastard!! In the meantime, we both fall… … . Aww!”
“If you’re going to fall, you too!”
Before he could even repair the broken airplane, the man who had been clinging to his body kicked him and blew it away.
Death Sky is falling in a parabola.
But the man’s interest had already fallen from the spot.
“boss!!”
100 m from the ground.
The bloody leap that was made from that point was aimed precisely at the girl who was falling helplessly from exhaustion of her strength.
– Koo!
The man who flew in grabbed the girl’s body and crashed her body against the support of the Ferris wheel.
Immediately after that, the body falls off due to repulsion and gravity.
He grabbed the support with his arms before his body fell, but the man’s arms were too weak to withstand the pressure.
– It’s sticky. suddenly.
Arms that are bent backwards as they are and pouring blood.
The man who had endured the pain by clenching his teeth, finally withdrew his strength from his hand and took a leap forward.
A Ferris wheel downstairs that has not yet been dropped by successive bombing.
– Clap!
The glass shattered, and the body bounced back and forth over and over again in a small space due to the repulsive force.
“boss.”
Wasn’t the shock light?
The man who had struggled to sit down looked down at the master in his arms.
A girl crouching in my arms.
The smile of relief was drawn on the man’s lips when he confirmed that no wounds were drawn on the face facing him.
“It’s okay, I’m glad… … .”
Is that enough?
Soon, the man’s head fell to the floor, and his body began to droop as if he had lost consciousness.
After a while, the girl in her arms looked at the man.
“… … Brad.”
Fortunately, there is a hidden attachment, but there are no places where the body is strong.
A broken arm as well as a body with bullets… … .
No, haven’t all the muscles of the body been crushed or injured before that?
“You did something really reckless.”
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the ability to jump from the ground to this height.
The girl, who became the man’s master, glanced down at the outside of the Ferris wheel for a moment to grasp the situation.
The heroes who came to rectify the situation belatedly. In the midst of a battle between them and the villains, there was one that stood out in particular.
A woman in a pink dress… … .
In the way he treated the troops below him alone, he could feel the power equivalent to the ‘executives’ who once served him.
Feeling impatient, did I even tell her to throw my body with all my might?
Of course, it was enough to run 100m high at once, so the force applied to the body must not have been too small.
“Like you, I am nothing but dust in this universe… Why do I have to work so hard to protect this little body?”
I feel the hand stroking the wounds on my body gradually tremble.
just don’t die.
Because he was angry at the fact that he had acted so recklessly to save himself with such a weak body.
“still… … .”
But isn’t that also out of the heart for yourself?
“But, for now, please forgive me for being a rebuke.”
The monarch, who had read such a heart from the wounds on his body, reached out his hand to his head and began to pull it towards his knee.
He even took off the envelope he was wearing on his head, and stroked the head of a sleeping person.
“Thank you for coming, my… … .”
So he whispers into his ear.
Without even a plausible story.
In the ears of a man who wants to be born as evil and wants to save himself.
“You are the only hero who saved me.”
After that day.
Infinite gratitude for the companion whom I swore to spend the rest of my life with.
