Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

Yamada-kun's remarks revealed that Ghost killed Natsume-kun.

Since Natsume-kun is not in the tree house that gathered these reincarnators, I think someone probably guessed.

Still, even if I could guess that Natsume-kun was dead, I guess it was just out of my imagination that my ex-class mate committed that murder.

To the evidence, cold silence dominated the occasion.

The only exceptions are Kusama and Ohara tied up with Tagawa.

And then there was Oshima, who knew about it beforehand, or watched it in front of him, and Yamada, the spokesperson.

Even Kudo seems to be losing his words, and there are a few of them with a frightened face about how Yamada-kun's words can't be swallowed well for other faces.

Even those who understand, whether it's true or suspicious or not, are peeking at the complexion of Kyolo and the others.

Perhaps death is a marginal thing for the reincarnators who have lived in this elf.

So I don't get a real feeling when someone I know tells me he's dead.

Even more so if it was my ex-class mate who did it.

I rarely died outside of life expectancy in Japan, and I wonder if it's taking over that feeling.

I know you, but I don't know what it is, but I feel too different about death from this world that's dying.

In that regard, Tagawa-kun and Kusama, who grew up outside the elves, are firmly aware of the view of death in this world.

So I'm not in a hurry.

But if that's the case, how could Yamada, who should have grown up outside, be so angry?

In the first place, Yamada must have quite a grudge against Natsume-kun.

Because Natsume-kun killed my father and they chased me home.

Besides, he even does the vile thing of being brainwashed by his sister and friends and beating Yamada.

Huh? Who made you do that?

I wonder who.

Well, leave that alone.

Yamada-kun wants to kill Natsume-kun, but it's weird that he wants to live?

I don't know what that means.

"Hey, what's the story now, is it true?

It was Kudo who broke the silence.

Haunted and Yamada don't move like staring at each other.

After turning a chilling glance at those two, Kudo turned to me and asked me again.

It's me!

"If what you're saying is true, do you mean you killed Natsume-kun?

Mm, well, I'm generally not wrong.

"I won't deny it"

"I'll take that as an affirmation."

To my reply, Kudo said so with a stern face.

Well, I'm not making a mistake.

In fact, I'm probably doing worse than Kudo imagines.

Let's not say that.

I'm sure that makes both sides happier, yeah.

"I'll tell you what, he's done things he just can't help being killed. So there's nothing wrong with me killing you."

"You'll have a problem!

Yamada-kun screams and breaks into Kudo.

I was a little surprised by the momentum I got up from kicking down the chair.

"Jun. I'd rather you, the primary victim, cover up for him. I think it's weird?

"Oh, I guess so. I didn't forgive him for what he did, I didn't mean to cover him up."

Ooh?

Didn't Yamada-kun forgive Natsume-kun for anything?

Well, I'm talking about how much saint you are to be forgiven for all that.

I mean, a saint, or rather, it's weird to get that far.

"But that's why you kill me. Yes, it's not the end, you're crazy."

There was an atmosphere in Yamada-kun's words where some of the reincarnators indicated their consent.

... Well, I see.

If you can grow up in a closed environment called the inside of an elf, it's no wonder you're leaving Japanese values intact.

In Japan, criminals are punished severely under the law.

The death penalty will only be imposed if you commit any felony.

Even with that death sentence, there were moves to see what should be abolished.

In this world, life weighs differently.

Even criminals don't change that.

"In the summer's eyes, we needed to live and atone for our sins. He had that duty. I shouldn't have killed it. If he dies, that's where it ends."

Hmm.

I'm sure what you're saying is true, but I don't know, I think it's sweet.

There are even bad people in the world who are not willing to pay for their sins.

Any evil man repents if he runs out of words, what is it only in the story of convenience?

No matter how hard we try, if there's nothing to revamp, we'll just have to hang out and have an awesome time.

Then I think it would be smarter to kill him spazzily without rotting.

Well, I don't know what happened in Natsume-kun's case, so this is just my opinion.

"Right. If you die, it's over. Killing is not good. That is of course true. Not to be forgiven."

Haunted, but I agree with Yamada.

"If so."

"Then it's also natural that Natsume, who took so many lives, is not allowed to do so?

The ghost blocks Yamada-kun's words from saying something.

The ghost words were powerful enough to silence Yamada.

"Jun, you can't forgive the person who killed someone close to you. No matter how much he tries to atone for his sins, the hatred that dwells in his chest will not disappear. It may fade. But it won't disappear."

That was a very real word.

When I heard that, it weighed on me to know that Haunted had been killed by someone close to me.

"I think what Joon says is splendid. But he wasn't in a position to be forgiven for scratching his feet. I had to die. That's why I gave him the guidance. Are you not convinced by this?

Yamada-kun can't argue with the weighty words of ghosts.

"I'm not convinced."

It should have been.

In Yamada's eyes, however, there was a powerful glow.

Something that couldn't break, it was definitely there.

"Jun. If you've seen this world, you know what I mean. This world is not like Japan. Life weighs lightly. Bringing Japanese values as they are doesn't help, does it?

As the ghost persuades the mighty Yamada, I tell him.

"Can't help it? What makes you think that?

But that produced an unexpected counterattack.

"Indeed, life is light in this world. A few things will kill you soon. That's why Brother Julius too...... No, that's good now. But I did! That's not why you can take it lightly!?

Scream.

It was just a powerful cry to overturn my perception earlier that it was sweet.

I thought it was a sweet little opinion, still dragging on Japanese values.

No, it's not.

Yamada-kun, understanding and piercing its sweetness, the cry showed.

"Is this world different from Japan? Yeah, I bet you are. Everything here is different from Japan. But then, do we have to abandon Japanese values? Is that something you shouldn't do?

Oshima-kun, who sat behind that diagonal, shook his shoulder at Yamada-kun's words.

Was the reaction because Oshima, too, had abandoned Japanese values as she lived in this world?

"Kyoya. Ask the other way. You said you had no choice. That's what this world is about, so there's no choice. Didn't you just compromise?
