"Hero?"
Rim tilted his neck.
Chris unexpectedly pats his eyes.
"Are you listening to anything?
Rim nodded.
"It's me, talking about a hero from this eastern continent who defeated four demons.
That sister's brother's father is the hero.
At the time, I stole a motorcycle and got into the demon god's gym, so I went live without fear. "
"I don't know about motorcycles, but I wonder if you know about heroes.
Or so does your old man, but the neighborhood you belong to has a lot of idiots without orders. Is he headed by a disciple?
That hero is now his father. "
"That sort of thing"
Chris looked at Suyasuya Sleeping Gonske, affirming.
I go around observing that giant and slip my fingers into the air.
The demonic squares that showed up surrounded Gonske, about the size of a puppy.
And Chris held it up,
"In the meantime, where's the car you've been in?
That's what I said.
Rim walks out.
And Chris gets there.
"So, why is your old man working for that hero?
"No, well, yeah. Sinful?"
"You said you broke a bone."
"What, even a hero's pinch helped?
"Uh, that would be romantic.
But you're not gonna be a sinner. "
It was almost at the same time that Chris gave it back with a bitter smile and reached where the car that Rim came in was parked.
Rim sat in the driver's seat and Chris in the passenger's seat.
Gonske with no sign of waking up on Chris' lap.
"No, I taught Kickin 'Cho, who licked the world before he was even famous as a hero, the breadth of the world, the harshness of society, the difference in character, I did."
"Uh, I see, you mean physically broke a bone"
"So-so, what else? Because he was a cat who was intimidating me, and it was funny to shatter my self-esteem, and I educated him with a sage mind to teach him how tough the world is."
"What exactly did you do?
"One bread, Nosita, and then I broke my hands and legs and left them."
"You're the only one willing to kill, that"
"No, that's why I was wondering if it was just bad. See, what do I have? It's about the age I can see ahead.
Like, I want to go somewhere a little better after I die. "
"Wow, I'm too self-absorbed"
"You say"?
"... it would be more convenient to shelf yourself"
"Well, but I think it's better than when I was made a master.
Apprentice, Ray's doing a ghost menu right now, but it's still warm. "
"Really?
"They're putting restrictions on the use of magic. Nulouis.
My hands and legs were smashed and my mouth smashed, and it was a survival course.
I can't draw magic formations, I can chant spells. Start with a state of stuffing, hey, I miss it.
Left in the thick woods, parasites everywhere, and I saw hell. "
"... that's the only way to kill him."
"Nah, he's so cruel."
The rim turns the key and starts the engine.
Turn on the lights, the car moves, and runs out in the dark.
"No, you're not talking about adults."
"Is that different now?
To Chris' words, Lim returned with his gaze facing forward and his handle gripped intact.
"That's a public discourse.
In the meantime, all you know is that this is the experimental site, and this time you're talking about my brother.
So, I just found out about my brother, too.
My brother died once and resuscitation is successful.
A real miracle. However, this miracle also has its weaknesses.
That weakness, you know, but knowing reality, being known.
No, how far does Rim know about the resuscitation of the dead?
"What I heard from that guy was that he kept the existence of the only success story and its existence secret.
You don't like Reapers. I'm pretty sure he wasn't into it. You can't just not move like you asked.
Honestly, I'm not interested in upside down. "
"Right. So, you know the back world's a little messed up right now?
"What's that?
"Explain in order.
Not long ago, did you know that some hotel was raided by a terrorist group?
A dragon appeared out of nowhere, the one who penetrated the hotel "
"Uh, you saw it on the news"
"That's this girl. It's Gonske.
So, this is my discretionary guess, and I say it's because it's you, but maybe from there, my brother's got a good chance. "
"What do you mean?
"These are the times. As much as we can call it a surveillance society, the ability of individuals to disseminate information has increased dramatically.
I mean, it's easier for people to see even a few things.
No matter how information-control, no matter how restrictive, it doesn't go away. "
"Does this plain noise mean that's what's causing this?
"No, no. Rather, this is what makes the noise.
I told you, the back is so ragged. "
Lim, silently waited for Chris to continue.
"Who do you think heroes are for?
"If you say so in general theory, you are one who helps weak beings and destroys evil.
Well, existence that did something convenient for the unspecified in that era, huh?
"Yes, from unspecified numbers, I treated him like a hero.
It is also called a righteous ally.
But it's a causal title resented by an unspecified few. "
"Is that it?
"I mean, Urk, the father of his sister and brother and the savior and hero of this continent, is grudgingly resented for being part of the neighborhood.
I want to kill him, but I can't kill him.
So, the blood relatives of the existence who had disappeared for nearly twenty years also came out of the surface stage recently.
Was Urk called a hero around the age of nineteen?
If you're that son and your brother at the heart of this case, Tetsu just got into high school.
Well, I guess you're immature.
Plus, Tetsu has zero magic.
You think you can kill him if you move carefully. "
"Well, you don't look too good."
"Oh, right. You look a lot worse.
But I'm worried, I call it vengeance. I don't care if you dress good or bad from the people who set it up.
As long as I can reward you with one arrow, that's fine.
To put it further, this is an unrequited worry, a revenge. "
"Unrewarded?
"Causal rhythm has been distorted. There's evil. Heroes have to be active.
No matter how much you hate me, no matter how much sacrifice you make. Trying to be unreasonably exposed.
This time a hero has to make a self-sacrifice before he grows up.
A slave of sad sad fate, put on a distorted rail.
That man, the master must have helped by calculating so far.
Not because it's still a small life, or because it's pathetic, but for the world.
I think it was worth it, until the resurrection of the dead, to make the next generation of heroes. "
I just don't know about all this unless I really check with him.
Because it's the way Chris wore it.
"I'm sure Ray, the disciple, wanted Tetsu to maintain his humanity at all.
Ray, because the tag is off and the part is broken.
Or even that encounter could have been orchestrated "
A life where you don't know, you can make a lot of decisions on your own, and you can't even notice that.
Probably such a happy life flowing unknowingly.
"Sacrifice the future hero."
Rim said pale.
Chris says back.
"Sacrifice. Nobody does it, can't do it, can push you to do something you don't want to do, that's the role, hero.
So, when I finished all the work on that role, it was a lot different with or without humanity at that time.
Family, pets, careless friends, lovers, whatever. Humanity is also the presence or absence of such beings.
At least, as far as I read this Gonske memory, there was only one person in Tetsu, other than his family, who had such a presence.
If there is salvation, it is.
The only thing that makes Tetsu human is hope. "
"Isn't that dragon daughter the hope and hope of the status quo?
"You're not. Pets are only pets. It's healing but not reciprocal or equivalent.
I don't know what's ahead, so in the future, there could be more hope, and like I said, I know all this stuff when I'm done with my job.
If we're just talking about the status quo, if the childhood experience is making Tetsu “now," then the family is all older and subject to obsession for Tetsu, not equal or equivalent after all.
This kind of thing has to be the one with the same eye.
At least, Tetsu isn't even aware of the conversation about its existence.
To put it the other way, if that hope were to be broken or killed, Tetsu would be completely corrupt and crazy. "
"... to love?
"To love"
