Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai
Episode 64: Readiness to kill.
We left Luke Spider's longitudinal hole. Unfortunately, I didn't see any magic formations here for transfer. But even if it did, I wouldn't have been able to activate it because it doesn't have a core of spiders.
The march of the cave that begins again. Silence. Everyone, was silent.
……
From what I can tell, I have a lot to say. In the end, I missed stabbing Todome on the sidewalk because no one provided me with cover, and it was me and May who repelled him that did a great job.
Are you kidding me, you guys are freaking out. Especially Aoshi Cherry Blossom, you always do extra things...... and if you say dissatisfaction or anything, I'm not stupid enough to shout that out honestly.
In the meantime, the reflection is behind us. Not if you're arguing with me in such a dangerous place. Discuss future policies from Fairy Square.
"Oh, no..."
Natsukawa, who leads the way, uttered some kind of desperate nuance as he continued to walk the cave in a gloomy atmosphere. I have a bad feeling.
"Wow, seriously... is this a spider's nest too?"
What was ahead was a vertical hole with a giant spider's nest stretched out, similar to the one that fought the crossroads. Plus, I feel two times wider than I just did.
"Peach River, isn't it dangerous to jump in like this?"
"But aren't we going to have to move on here?
"Well... it's not realistic to go back to Fairy Square now."
What we need now is a sure resting fairy square.
Because fighting the crossroads is halving our power. Natsukawa, Kenzaki, and May, all avant-garde combinations have not been paralyzed by lateral paralysis poison. My antidote seems to be relieving me somewhat, but I need more effective medication or time to recover.
The chairman of the committee is also paralyzed, but the influence is mild because he is in a magical position. Then again, I must have been paralyzed too... because I'm a spellman, I haven't had any paralysis effects on my body. Does it have a hidden status such as Poison Deactivation?
Even if it did, I wouldn't actually incite the poison to confirm it for now.
After that, a tackled lem on the sidewalk was crushed and vanished. You will have lost your precious pawn to me. As soon as we get to the next Fairy Square, we have to collect the material and re-summon it.
"Well, let's take a short pause here, then get ready to go in,"
"Yeah, let's do that"
There were no objections from anyone else either. Or not even a wind like yes.
We're in a cave with vertical holes in place, and we keep our hips down and go to rest. Of course, from behind the vertical hole, we don't know when an ant or a kamakiri will strike. I had to take turns keeping watch before and after the cave and rest in turn.
Honestly, I don't feel like I've rested in that position. I didn't know it was this hard to rest in peace.
"... Kotaro, I'm sorry"
When I finished my first watch duty, Mae sat next to me, who was in a state of embarrassment, and I said that.
"Why are you apologizing?"
"I let Yokodo get away with it. And I could have stabbed Todome almost there."
Yokodo, even though I naturally call you my classmate's name, I seriously apologize for missing the kill, morality and ethics are going crazy.
What May regrets is just that, at that chance, his left arm was paralyzed because he grabbed his tongue, and he couldn't turn his back until he attacked him. If I could use my left arm, he would not only pull me off the flying sidewalk to help, but he would also slap Halvard straight away.
"I didn't have to kill anyone, so maybe I was the best."
"Yeah, Yokodo, they're gonna come after Kotaro again."
May assures me, as I am certain somewhere. I'd like to deny it, but I feel that way, too.
"For safety's sake, I should have stabbed Todome there"
Yeah, most importantly, the more he eats, the stronger he gets. The next time we see each other, we must definitely have new abilities and come under attack.
It was still a critical battle. If you acquire more than that nasty ability... oh, shit, I don't even want to think about that right now.
"... May, did you hesitate or not?
"What?
Seriously, a face like you don't know what you're asking. Pretending not to notice, I decided to capture the question as it was.
"Killing people"
"I won't. If you want to protect Kotaro, you can kill me and my classmates."
Am I the worst when I feel secure about that unpretentious answer?
May has the influence of a mad warrior, or signs that she's going to step off the path of people safely. I'm sure, even in the fight against the sidelines, he was waving Halvard with the intention of killing him for real.
But if she tells me she will protect me, that I can fight my enemies without even hating murder... as a person, as a man, that is unacceptable, yes, I should say it beautifully like Aoshi Cherry Blossom.
But I was happy. I need to have such a comforting ally. After all, Mae is the only one I can count on. That's how I rejoiced in her presence to protect myself.
"Oh well. Thanks."
"Yeah, so, you don't have to worry, Kotaro."
Oh, were they spotted? I don't give a shit.
"Sorry."
"It's okay. Yokodo, you've already killed Mr. Yangtze. Murderers, not cannibals, right? So I'm not human anymore. Just like Goma, because he's an enemy that needs to be defeated."
"Yes, you are."
Horizontal roads are monsters. A monster that eats people and sows blood. I don't know what kind of evil god conferred a 'cannibal ghost' on me, but it's obvious that there's no human reason on the sidewalk at the earliest.
Before such a monster, if you're worried about morality and ethics, you'll just be killed.
Even if you know it is, is it human that can't be easily broken?
"It's okay... even I could stab a spear. There was no stray. So if there's a next time, I'll do it with you."
"Yeah, thanks, Kotaro-kun"
If I finish, I'll be worried too. I also think that Aoshi Cherry Blossom was right. Can I really kill someone? [M] Can you stand killing people? I don't know.
But if there was a sinful cross called murder, I didn't intend to push it on one May. At least let's carry it together.
That's all I could have made up my mind clearly.
