'I was putting up a fine philosophy in this world, but which would you choose? You follow your philosophy and abandon your loved ones? Or do you abandon all the people of the world this time, like you abandoned me back in the day?
He deliberately pokes again at choices like when Lance abandoned him in his previous life.
We can't rescue people on other continents if we go to help Dr. Elle on the airship Noah.
It will be even harder to get to where Lance is, and if we defeat him, maybe we will abandon our helpful lives.
But if you go to defeat Lance, you will be attacked by the people who are after Dr. Elle's neck and the monsters he has unleashed.
Assuming you prioritize the Elle teachers and abandon a large number of others, the PEACEMAKER philosophy that has been reincarnated into this other world and that you have been aiming for will crumble from the ground up.
That means you're going to deny yourself.
Then you trump the Elle teachers for your own philosophy, your ideals?
Just imagining it makes me nauseous.
There's no way I can do that!
Then what!
What can I do!
Hell is exactly what you choose, hell is what you don't choose.
Lance had a superb smile as if she could see me stuffing and suffering from the choice.
When he finishes watching me suffer enough, he declares the beginning.
'The story is over. Let's start revenge. "
Video interrupts.
Neither the people who were gathering in front of the main entrance to the New and Pure Maiden Knights, nor myself or my crew, could move immediately.
No one, he was also silently looking around or embracing a child who was taking a grunt.
I'd like to think it was a dream, group hypnosis, etc., but I can't stop thinking.
We're in the middle of a crisis in every city, including PEACEMAKER members, Dr. Elle, and Cocoli Street.
Members must be gathered immediately to put in place measures.
"Come on!
Sudden scream.
Looking back, the adventurers, who were unable to go hunting because of the loss of magic, pulled out the sword that was lowering from their hips.
Apparently, the people who noticed it screamed.
They are wild horses who watched me in stress as the residents struggled to cope.
Perhaps he swallowed Lance's proclamation that if he murdered a PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker) regiment member/associate, he would be a magician S class.
Two members of the squad standing at the main entrance reflexively point AK47 at the target.
Five other members who were gathered are defenseless, but take a critical stance.
The inhabitants who were gathering were just rushed to scatter left and right.
"This, if I could kill one of these guys, I'd be in mage s class too......"
The adventurer man runs his eyes blood and sets up his sword.
AK47 - The power of firearms should be known if you are an adventurer visiting Cocoli Street.
I try to pull out my sword in spite of it.
That's all it's worth in this world's highest mage S class.
I'm afraid to fire AK because the residents are just around the corner.
There is also a good chance of a man dying if he receives an AK bullet in the current situation where he cannot use witchcraft.
I don't deny that I have pity for them, but there could be widespread rumours that 'PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker) kills the attacker without question' if he kills a man under current circumstances.
If stories and rumors spread, there will always be people trying to take out magic tools that are valuable to attack PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker) and challenge them with heavy equipment.
In that case, this one doesn't think about the safety of the other, either, and we just have to do everything we can to kill him. We'll have a dead man on our side.
Of course there are advantages of deliberately spreading rumors like that, but at this stage the disadvantages are greater.
I don't want to inspire the belligerents and I don't want to give them a reason to fight.
I absolutely hate tragic things.
If we become belligerent again, the residents will become suspicious ghosts and flee frightened without knowing when they will be able to strip themselves of their fangs.
To stop it, I'm just gonna walk over to get the guy.
"Kie-yee!"
The adventurer man makes an odd noise and waves his sword down, but is too foolish.
He's losing his chill because of the anomaly and the excitement that he can 'be a magician s class'.
I dodge my sword lightly, grab my arm, and pay my feet.
Beat him to the ground, clear the air out of his lungs, and then take the sword from his hand.
If he had been calm, he would not have been more easily powerless.
I twist the man's arm up with my left arm and hold his back with my knee to stop the movement.
Plus his fellow adventurers tried to hitch a ride, so he pulled out a subarm USP and pointed a gun at it.
"I'm sorry, but you're not going to get killed easily. More or less, even if he could kill us, Lance really wouldn't know - if he would keep his word. Even if I protect you, I might be waiting for you to turn you into a monster like you saw in the footage earlier and say," Yes, power is magician S "."
To my point, the rest of the adventurer looks like he was accidentally hit in the cheek.
Apparently, he didn't consider the possibility of being monstrous.
Pointed out and noticed, their war will shrivel visibly.
It was the assignment from my mouth, but now Lance has an air that seems to do a malicious act.
For now, I'll leave the USP and the detention of the man I'm holding back to other members of the team.
Let's keep him in the HQ dungeon to keep his head cool.
"Hey, here! Head of PEACEMAKER!
Looking back aloud, another adventurer shows up again.
Worst of all, he was holding one child hostage.
"I didn't want this kid killed, don't move there!
I didn't expect you to even come out to take hostages.
I guess' Mage S 'is special for an adventurer without that much magic.
The newly emerged adventurer man takes out another knife with his right hand while putting a knife on the child's neck muscle.
If I had magic, I would assist my body with physical enhancement, and I'm confident that a man would shoot through my shoulder and so on faster than he would rip my child's throat...
"Heh, heh, now you're one of the magician s!
The man nods his tongue at the madness of joy and enters the throwing position - but is caught with both arms by Snow, Chris, who was secretly sneaking from behind.
We were both able to take our backs easily because the man was excited and narrowed in field of view.
Snow, you didn't act unscrupulous to avoid irritating them because you noticed Chris was approaching.
"Gu!?
They twist their wrists.
A man screams at an extinguishing pain and lets go of the knife.
I punched the man in the jaw and pruned his consciousness while the two of them held me down.
The man immediately deposited with another member of the crew to the headquarters dungeon.
The child also checks for injuries, but there are no particular problems.
The mother who was looking for the child just showed up, so she handed it over as it was.
Once again, I thank the two of you for your enthusiasm.
"Thanks, Snow, Chris. They assaulted me from behind, and I made sure I was safe."
"It was just a good time. More than that..."
"Someone who was just floating in the sky! That's from the Meltia Kingdom you fought before, isn't it?!? Besides, I can't believe you gave me instructions to attack everyone... '
We were both on duty of alarm, looking around the city, but seeing Lance's appearance and proclamation in the sky, we seem to have rushed back.
And just witnessed an adventurer taking hostages.
Later, as was the case earlier.
"Honestly, I'm surprised, too. I want to avoid any further trouble for now, so let's go inside. And I'm going to have an urgent meeting on what to do in the future, so stay with me."
"Okay, Lute!
'Got it, brother!
Snow, Chris honestly follows the instructions.
Residents in front of the main entrance were informed of the dissolution because it was dangerous, and the members were also taken to temporarily close the main entrance.
We hurry back to HQ for an emergency meeting.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
When I return to headquarters, I will first interrupt the members of the group who are on the alert and give instructions to call them back.
Those who were nearby are already back.
But those who have gone to the edge of the city have not yet.
I know it's coming back to abnormal accidents, but it's also possible that it's still on the lookout and that it's intertwined with the adventurers, as it was earlier.
For this reason, we have a group of five remaining members in our headquarters, and three of them have SAIGA 12K and "non-lethal loading." Instruct them to fire without hesitation if they feel threatened.
We were strict enough to prioritize our own safety.
Let the other two have an MP5K of short machine guns (sub-machine guns).
Due to the city, AK47 is too powerful and is likely to cause secondary damage.
If this one feels life-threatening, he also gives instructions not to hesitate to shoot.
When we are done calling back the logic or sending out a force to protect, we finally start an anti-lance meeting that was shown over the sky earlier.
The room was filled with me, Snow, Chris, Reese, Cocono, Maya and Shea - the usual members.
Luna, Muir and Barney were entrusted with the head of field security.
Like the adventurers earlier, there may be people trying to get past the walls and break into the building.
For that reason, the other members of the team took possession of the equipment and entrusted the guards.
In the meantime, we start discussing what to do as PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker).
"Mr. Lute, for some reason Mr. Lance, who should have died, appeared in the sky. Perhaps Lara, it was an act that killed him... and none of us saw the scene where he was murdered. I wasn't peddling the words of the Demon King, but I didn't expect this to happen..."
As Reese pointed out, we haven't seen Lara's murder scene.
Lance's death was only the testimony of Legrottarier - the Demon King of Black Poison.
"I thought Lance could be alive, but I had no idea he was going to take away magic from the rest of the world... But I just had to say what happened. What should we do now..."
I was holding my hands tight naturally.
It is now the responsibility of PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker) to make decisions and make choices about what to do as the team leader.
I don't know if the answer I gave is really correct.
So my voice stopped sounding like my throat was clogged reflexively.
A warm feeling that wraps a hand that grips so hard that it gets cold.
When I looked up, Snow came to my side sometime and squeezed my hand.
She tells with a smile.
"It's okay, Lute. Lute can make the right decision. And no matter what happens, if we all do this together, it's gonna work!
"Snow......"
Chris squeezes his hand opposite Snow.
'Snow, your sister is right! If we all do this, it will definitely work! I don't have magic either, but I'll do my best!
"Chris......"
Reese sits next to Snow and puts his hand on his knee.
"I also believe in Mr. Lute's judgment. And more than that, I believe I can overcome any difficulty with you."
"Reese......"
Cocono sits next to Chris and puts his hand on my lap like a leash.
"I don't have much power myself, but I will work hard for you, Lute!
"Cocono......"
"I will express my opinion as I cross the line. I think your wives are right."
"Shea."
Usually Shea, who rarely speaks of her own opinions, takes the initiative.
At the end, of course, it's her.
"If Master Lute is not the only one in heaven and heaven, then there will be no righteousness in this world! Assuming! In case! One hundred million! ∞ is one! Even if Lute happens to be ill and misjudged, as you say, we are here to help! That way, even the arrogant ignorant ones who call themselves gods (laughs) and so forth can defeat them lightly and save you all! So please don't hesitate to interrupt, Master Lute!
"Maya......"
I look around everyone's face again.
One of them stares straight at me without looking away.
Their pure and honorable trust is conveyed straight.
When I realized it, it was naturally losing strength from my shoulders.
My hands that were getting cold get warm too.
"Thanks, guys"
I looked around at them again and thanked them.
And breathe in gently, exhale.
Once again, I said the answer to my decision.
