Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai
Episode 13: The Mage and the Pig
"Oh well..."
Only a proper gavel, like such an idiot, could strike me.
"... yeah"
Mr. Twin Leaves nods, even as he endlessly shed tears of polarity and large grains.
He revealed the hard stuff a lot - I wasn't in a very good mood to say such crappy words of appreciation.
"Oh well... even that chairman of the committee can abandon people..."
The crushed words were surprisingly low and full of dark emotions myself.
I knew it wasn't a pleasant story. And I can understand that their judgment was quite reasonable. Limited means of recovery, combat capability and limited number of escapees. Twin Leaf Bud Costumes are not as powerful as war. The fourth of the interrupters to be truncated first, there is no one more deserving.
I am neither a bloody righteous man nor a Jesus fraternist. So, in a similar situation, I would make the same decision. Like the chairman of the committee and Natsukawa, he did not even bother and hesitate until the end, and may have spoken of uglier things filled with self-preservation than Sato Cai. They're not wrong about anything.
"Don't be ridiculous..."
But an uninterrupted hatred springs from the depths of my chest. If you put someone in front of you who has been forsaken, you will be overflowing with hatred and insane anger without help.
That's too pathetic for Mr. Twin Leaves crying in front of you - not because of that. Just because she's like me. Because I couldn't help but use it, because I was useless and incompetent.
"If Peach River wasn't a fucking magician, but a healer or something, I wouldn't be able to use it - I threw this fat guy away and made him one of us."
Memories of humiliation, floating in the back of your brain.
"Hey, good for you, Saito, your friend is in a cuss-like profession. Thanks to Kotaro Kun becoming a magician, I couldn't help but get rid of him - so don't hit him with gratitude. No, really, you, I had a good friend, I envy you."
It revives the dirty feel of spit spitting on your cheeks.
Yes, I lost my temper because I didn't have the strength. Mr. Twin Leaves was powerless, so he couldn't get his people to recognize him. Both are the same, the natural consequence of their own helplessness.
But the more I can honestly accept that, the more I'm not a man I've been able to be, I'm not a defeatist.
There's no way they'll admit it. If he's the other guy, he doesn't have to know, only himself, there's no way he won't be angry, there's no way he won't hate, he won't resent, there's no way...
"Mr. Twin Leaves, let's work with me."
I said straight away, without a roundabout of inviting complaints or a fraudulent induction technique that makes them care. [M] I don't feel like making an extra forethought with the mess, no, you just wanted me to say it.
"... Huh?
Twin leaves stare at me as I patch my tearful round eyes. The usual me wouldn't have been handsome enough to look at a woman, but I'm feeling high in a bad way, and now I could stare straight back into her circular eyes.
"Mr. Twin Leaves, you don't want to die yet, do you?
"Ugh, yeah......"
"You haven't really thought about killing yourself in despair abandoned by your people, have you?
"Damn, I'm not thinking about that. Yikes!?
Good, she still seems energetic enough to deny suicide fast enough. If this had depressed me to the bottom of the dong, I would have almost had the seven-threatening task of encouraging and comforting me from there and getting me back on my feet.
If you even have the energy to live, it's too much to welcome you to your people. Well, I'm not in such a great position to choose my people.
"Then let's work with me. This dungeon cannot be attacked by itself."
"Yeah, but... I... I... can't do anything... I'm scared, I can't fight... I'll never bother you, Takawa-kun!
"It's okay, because I can't fight either. Perhaps my vocation is the weakest in the class."
The content is pitiful and extreme, but I say it with dignity and pride. I am the weakest.
"... Takagawa-kun's, what's a vocation?
"My vocation is to be a magician. Attacking, of course, is neither defensible nor avoidable. Besides, running away doesn't help."
Oh, yes, you're right, Suguchi, the magician is a fucking vocation he can't help but use, so far. You could have defeated an armored bear because you were just so twisted that you ran out of luck for the rest of your life.
"But Peach River helped me!
"That's the power of herbs. Anyone can do the same thing if they learn how to make it"
Just because I'm a magician, doesn't mean it's going to work better. [M] Game-wise, it's impossible to refine a drug without its innate possession, or, it works dozens of percent better, with that kind of convenient correction... unfortunately, nothing.
My ability as a spellman is only within the scope of 'Intuitive Pharmacy'. The effects and recipes you learn from this, if you publish them to someone, will no longer be mine alone.
Conversely, "healer" is a special ability that can be recovered by the moves themselves. Worst of all, just let me throw up the herbal information, and then there can be enough Poy.
Oh, thinking about it, shouldn't I tell anyone about the types of herbs and how to make medicines? Even if Mr. Twin Leaves became one of us. The secret of herbal information is one of the few factors that makes my existence more valuable.
Totally, I really don't like myself thinking about this until I'm in the middle of inviting you to be my buddy. But self-loathing is behind us. Whatever you do now, focus on attacking Mr. Twin Leaves right in front of you.
"I am weaker than anyone, and more useless than anyone in this dangerous dungeon. That's why they almost killed me once."
"What!? Then you too, Takagawa... that..."
I nodded silently under the gentle care of Mr. Twin Leaves, whose sympathy floated.
Well, I was absolutely sorry to have joined you. Why don't you come into the party and ask me to sit down? I'm gonna bump a rhinoceros. Konoyaro.
"I don't think anyone needs me from now on. How's Mr. Twin Leaves? If we catch up with the chairmen of the committee, do you think they could keep us company again then?
"Oh, that's... I can't..."
Well, I guess so. How thick-faced and shameless can you join a former member who fed off an out-of-power notice with a non-eating face? Or if you go tangled up in that attitude, you'll be driven back by exercising your strengths. You don't hesitate to punch 'one shot' at Sato Cai, whose spirit is slated.
What is important here, however, is that I let Mr Twin Leaves imagine not only the Commission Presidency party, but also when I met other classmates. She should notice, too. Who the hell is going to pick up the incompetent self who even abandoned that committee chairman/Ryoko Rutsuki?
Well, Aoshi, I don't care if you're around, but if you're in a mental state where your heart would be buckled and broken shortly after they kill you, others will accept it! Oh, my God, it's not very, but you wouldn't think.
"It is unlikely that we will ever be able to protect a man of strong vocation. The President of the Commission seems to have denied it, but I think more people believe the information that the number of escapees is three as it is. Even half-heartedly, you'd act on that premise. So there's nowhere to afford to have an unusable companion"
"No... but... yes, you do..."
I don't want to believe in the harsh reality, but it seemed that Mr. Twin Leaves had reason to be able to recognize it correctly. Though maybe it's just rounded up in my unsuccessful mouth that explains it pale.
Well, both are fine at this time. I can confidently say that it's definitely a fact that no one wants to keep the spellman company. I'm not lying about anything.
"Then if you're weak, you'll be weak, and you'll have to work hard. I still don't want to give up my life. Even Mr. Twin Leaves said he didn't want to die yet."
"Yeah, yeah... I don't like it, I, until just now, really thought I was dead... awesome, scared..."
I know how people feel, how cheap I don't like to say it, but I can strongly agree with all this.
When you encounter an armored bear, and the moment you defeat it. Even when I peeked at Goma eating a girl student. When I was aware of something called death, it was always an uninterrupted sense of fear and abhorrence that sprang to my mind. I don't want to see you like this again. Never, I don't want that in my eyes. Whatever it is, no matter how painful or hard it is, I think from the bottom of my heart that 'death' is the only thing I absolutely don't like.
"So let's do whatever it takes not to die. If you want to survive, you can do anything. Please, Mr. Twin Leaves. Join me in this dungeon."
"Ho, really... really, it's me, okay?
"I have to work with Mr. Twin Leaves."
"I can't really do anything, it's useless... right?
"I can't have too many others. We're all strong from the start, no matter how much we cheat... but we should be strong, even a little bit."
"But, but I..."
"I will not betray you. Don't abandon Mr. Twin Leaves. But you don't have to believe me right now. Trust is what we build together over time."
Would it have been a little too cool? I certainly didn't mean to lie all round. [M] I really don't think I'm going to abandon Mr. Twin Leaves for nothing. Because I can't use it, and if I slash it away, I'll be just like them.
However, it is also true that, at a time of need, I cannot abandon her and abandon the possibility of running away by myself. No, it can definitely be, depending on the circumstances.
So, the truth is, my words don't mean anything. If you were someone like Aoshi or Heavenly Tao, you would definitely penetrate it with a word execution... but the words of a normal person like me don't have the power of such a will.
"Ugh... Takagawa! Thank you, thank you!
But even in such a light language, Mr. Twin Leaves was shouting words of gratitude in an extremely impressive way.
Cholo, rather than putting it in a perfectly weak spot, something like that. While wet in her tears, a straight gaze tickles my heart.
"I'll do my best! I'll do my best for you, Peach River!
"Oh, thank you...... well, good to see you soon, Mr. Twin Leaves"
"Yoro-jiku, no-jitsu!
Whatever it was, I succeeded in drawing Mr. Twin Leaves into my company the way I thought.
