chapter 30
EP.30 EP2. Star Girl Spiritas (1)
The first meeting could not be said to be good, even with empty words.
‘You have a hard face.’
Even he, who gave the impression of being a good person, pointed out and listened to his atmosphere from the first meeting.
Yes, he had such a hard atmosphere at the time.
It was as if he had concentrated all the negative parts of this world.
‘Never mind. It’s because he’s like this in the first place.’
‘Hey, I don’t know the circumstances, but it would be difficult to force a smile too much. I think it would be better to start by getting to know each other first… … .’
‘I have nothing to explain about me. The reason I came here in the first place is because of the widespread and widespread circumstances.’
Isn’t it a common age of children who have lost their parents and neighbors?
He’s just a random person in the process.
And at the time, she didn’t even think about how lucky she was.
‘And it’s not fun to defeat a villain. You’ve already made up your mind, so you don’t have to try to maintain a bright atmosphere just because you care about me.’
‘…Do you think that a hero should always be wretched and serious?’
‘I’m in a position to save people, isn’t it natural?’
I just hope that the disaster we faced at that time does not happen again.
Its form has only changed from civil servants capable of incompetent people such as police and soldiers to beings called heroes.
No matter how difficult and harsh it may be, he is determined to endure to the end.
At that time, that was the only thing Kana was pursuing.
‘…this is, I guess I should hold off giving you power.’
However, in the eyes of Majack, such a figure seemed undesirable.
‘yes? what… … .’
‘Come on, Kana. Take a look here.’
After that, he got up from his seat, took a pose, and started dancing in front of Kana.
It is different from ordinary dance.
It seems to be sobbing, but there is a sense of theft everywhere, and the sense of detachment is rather individual, and the technique catches the eye.
But what was even more surprising was the strange posture that was mixed in the middle of the dance.
‘Uh, huh?’
The body is moving backwards, although apparently in a walking posture.
It’s like standing on a fast moving moving walk.
But isn’t he standing on a stationary floor?
‘What, what, how did you do that? gift?’
‘hahahaha! You don’t even need a gift. It’s a skill that anyone can do if you just learn the trick.’
A girl who exudes embarrassment.
Jack looked at him and smiled broadly.
A true smile with no pretense.
‘How are you, now that you are interested?’
It was the first time that a girl who had been concentrating on her mission all along took care of an individual named ‘Marjack Coulson’.
As a star who lives by receiving attention, wouldn’t it be natural to be happy?
***
‘A coward can’t show love. For love is the privilege of the courageous.’
‘What is that?’
‘That’s what my favorite great man said. It’s called Gandhi, you know?’
Mahatma Gandhi.
The greatest pacifist in history before the Cataclysm, Marzac Coulson most admired.
‘… … Isn’t it a bit problematic for a hero fighting a villain to be a non-violent?’
‘For the sake of peace
It is an ideal that only comes out of the Bible that we should avoid violence. What I admire is his ideology. Only those who can afford it
The teaching that you deserve to like someone and that you can make them happy.’
‘Haha, it’s like a poor man shouldn’t even marry.’
Kana showed a pessimistic reaction to even serious talk.
Even so, Marjack decided not to worry about such an attitude.
‘Money is just one of the conditions. That condition could be time, strength or mind.’
The one who leads this girl who has seen the darkness of the world is also.
He knows that it is his mission to choose her as his successor.
‘And this time… … . It’s a time when many people lack all of that.’
Yes, this girl is just a victim of the times.
A girl in a pitiful situation who simply grew up in the wrong direction because the environment did not support her.
Even such an unfortunate story has become so common, a poor child who has become accustomed to even shed tears because of his plight.
‘Kana, now.
In the times we live in, there are a lot of people who suffer a lot. And in that reality, even if the villain is defeated, the world will not change.
Rather, if we focus only on taking down the villains, we will be seen by the public as blood and slaughter-crazed war-maniacs.’
Just meeting each other and talking to each other is bound to escalate into a fight.
Isn’t it unreasonable to expect that there is only pure justice in the bloody bloody battle seen from afar?
‘and… … . At least the villains I’ve encountered have always taken that path to meet their own shortcomings.’
So, after all, aren’t humans just beings who believe in what they can see?
In a world full of such people, unbelief contributes to the birth of evil, so there is nothing wrong with trying to gain trust from them.
Investing passion in dancing and singing in hopes of public attention, and using humorous speech would also be called justice.
‘Is that why you’re on stage?’
‘Even so, if I can give you a taste to live in this harsh world, you should do it as much as you want.’
Even if he became a clown instead of a star, his job would not change.
Anyone who carried out his beliefs like that would be called a hero.
‘Also… … .’
The teachings of such a man.
Ironically, it was approaching the girl with too much pressure.
‘After all, I don’t think I can be like you.’
It was a body that thought that fighting a villain was the only thing a hero could do.
That has not changed even at this moment. What he was saying made sense in his head, but it didn’t reach his heart.
Can such a person truly inherit the power of this shining person?
Is it really okay to follow this person and stand in front of the public?
‘Do you think you don’t deserve my power?’
Even such a negative attitude was really ignored by Majack.
It’s not that he doesn’t consider it insignificant, it’s like he’s already prepared for such an attitude.
‘Then let’s think about it the other way around.’
Yes, not having the mindset is no reason to back down.
It’s just one of the reasons why you should lead her.
‘If you, who are not so confident in yourself, enter my world, and you grow up like that, you will reach the same position as me… … . At least it means that what I’ve been doing isn’t meaningless.’
And it doesn’t take a thousand words to lead.
‘Look carefully, from now on, I will be on stage.’
Teaching the concept is only the beginning.
After that, showing it with your own eyes would be the most appropriate teaching for humans who can discern the world with their eyes.
‘And keep it in your mind. Being a hero is… The moment people look up to you, you need to instill courage to live in this harsh world.’
At the end of those words, the girl stood on the stage and just watched from behind.
A scene where everyone is passionate about one person illuminated by spotlights from all directions.
The heat hit me like a whirlpool, and I could feel my heart swell just by feeling it.
Yes, that’s the way it got to the end of the flow.
A non-existent being is drawn to that longing.
It was the moment when I set foot on the same path, albeit fake.
***
…However.
“Jack Horse. He is also a miserable person.”
Ironically, it was the partner who had been with him for a longer time than himself to deny the person who planted that longing.
“A lot of people loved him, but he, too, has achieved nothing in the present. He was once called a legend, but now nobody speaks of him.”
Denying that life is because you hate him?
No, on the contrary, she also admired him.
The admiration for him was so great that he only hated the world he had ceased to exist.
“Remembering him is just a nostalgia for a moment. No one understands what he has seen, what suffering he has, and what he wants to put into practice, right?”
In the end, he also left without achieving anything as a hero.
“… … her.”
A snort came out of Spiritas’ mouth at the old senior’s scream.
“It’s because you’re too old. You talk a lot.”
The body, which had fallen flat on the floor, slowly stood up.
A pile of stones, falling stones.
Although her body is covered in blood bruises, her gaze is still fixed on the woman who attacked her.
“But… you get the hang of it now. Why did you do this?”
So, did you say that you and your hero have been active 30 times longer?
So, you may have come across a lot of things you didn’t know.
I deal with a lot of ugly villains, I despair when I see people who can’t save me, and I feel disillusioned with the reality that I can only reveal my existence by standing on stage and gaining popularity… … .
‘Justice is… … . To be honest, it’s a cowardly concept.’
In that way, this person has also gone through the same process as himself.
He overconfided in his abilities and went to the field, repeating hesitation over hesitation.
After despairing at the reality of gradually negotiating like that, he ended up denying the reality…
“Even people who are more amazing than you have left without being able to achieve what you want, and it is understandable that you are desperate for those people.”
Since I’ve always been watching these people from my side, it is most likely that they have decided to commit the same thing they do now.
“then… … .”
“But even if you understand the cause, you don’t understand the effect.”
I don’t know the detailed story.
All I know is that I went through a process similar to mine, and as a result this happened…
That alone is enough to understand why she did it.
There is only one thing, that it is very painful to go to the field with such a heart.
“For whatever reason, doing this is unforgivable.”
“… … kid.”
“The world is not a place where you live alone, and you are not alone in suffering. If you lived long enough, you wouldn’t know that much, would you? The world is not a mother who will accept your complaints as you like.”
He wipes his mouth with his gloved hands.
Blood stains wet white gloves.
Still, there was a venom in the eyes peering over it.
Unlike before, when hesitation was seen.
– Boorrrrrr!!
At that moment, a loud vibrating sound was heard from above.
At the sound of a gigantic rod rotating violently, Pampal’s head, standing on thick roots, turned upward.
A single helicopter can fly more than 100 meters above the ground.
It was a man with a camera and a woman with a microphone that jumped out in front of him.
“yes,
Everyone, I’m Maril, a reporter from KDC Broadcasting Station! Currently, I’m sharing the news from the place where the heroine contest is being held.
I came to the scene by direct helicopter, and I wanted to vividly convey the current situation through live broadcast… …”
Yes, since they committed a big case, journalists who are crazy about breaking news will most likely come to the scene right away.
Such a situation was considered very positive for Pampa Tal.
Well, her purpose is to want this moment to be imprinted in the memory of the public.
The fact that the people who will deliver the news come here means that she has reached her desired goal sooner.
“You, does this look good?”
Spiritas looked at the face painted with such joy.
Pampatal answered in a relaxed way to such a hard voice.
“Of course. I did this because I want everyone to remember this moment.”
“Don’t you think that memory won’t turn out the way you intended?”
Pam Fatal feels doubtful about the answer that follows immediately.
“… … What do you mean?”
“That’s because in this situation now, I have enough room to shoot this side, not the castle.”
Spiritas’ thumbs behind him.
We headed towards the castle beyond the forest.
“It means that you are not the only one remaining in the castle.”
There are certainly several professional heroes in that castle.
Even if the number of traitors who augmented their abilities with drugs exceeds a hundred, it is that banquet hall where more than a thousand people with more abilities are located.
“… It was somewhat expected.”
But it was also in the expected category.
The twist in the plan was that Spiritas gave priority to the conversation with himself rather than saving lives, but such a choice was coming as an opportunity to Pampa Tal.
“Even if the castle is suppressed, how many people will be able to join it?”
Currently he is
A body capable of demonstrating the potential of an S-class hero through scouts’ drugs.
If you are affected by it, you will be able to deal with many S-class heroes.
However, the number of S-class heroes is less than 20.
Since it is difficult for more than one to exist in one place on the earth divided into 26, it is virtually impossible to attack yourself.
As long as the new hero in front of me cannot demonstrate his potential beyond himself.
“Yeah, all the people you want to save can do in this situation, all they can do is spit out cheers for you when they see you dying, do you think that would be meaningful at this moment?”
And enthusiastic cheers and shouts for the hero standing on the stage… … .
That’s a concept that doesn’t help at all in the current fight.
Rather, such support only incites pride and gradually distorts their sense of justice.
“It’s not pointless.”
However, Spiritas immediately denied her claim.
“You may have done this because you thought the time you had gone through was meaningless… … .At least he didn’t think so.”
Is it really meaningless to try to revive everyone’s expectations?
Even those with the same story as you are ‘common’ in this harsh age.
“Yeah, if you don’t do that, it’s not a strange era even if it collapses earlier.”
Is it really wrong to live up to their expectations and work hard for them?
“For that, everyone risked their lives to fight, and for that reason, they became stronger.”
No, it can’t be.
Even if someone denies that it is wrong, that thought will not change.
It’s up to you to decide whether it’s right or wrong.
Knowing that this is the role assigned to you at this moment.
“So, be prepared. From now on, you will spend your passion in dancing and singing while wearing things that these kids would wear… … .”
Yes, the person in front of me at this moment is ‘same as’ the public’s gaze.
In itself, it was to teach that his role was being performed correctly.
Even if you do not stand by their side, the fact that such a situation unfolds means that ‘one burden you have to carry has disappeared’.
“Because I’m going to be defeated by such an incredibly strong hero who can afford to do that even in a life-threatening battle.”
With that alone, hesitation disappears, and fighting spirit begins to spring up in my heart.
Wouldn’t that be a sufficient condition to set myself on fire without looking back?
