I saw Ray, though.
It's strange.
Why does this guy make my dreams come true?
I saved Astoria's life, there must be more rewards for that.
Why is this guy doing this to me?
"... for whatever reason, it doesn't feel good to kill people, no matter how many they're considered sacred."
Ray said that without looking at me, looking at the sky.
"Have you ever killed a man?
At the same time I asked, a blunt blow came down from the top.
When I was caught by that sound and looked at you, Estelle just punched an invisible wall with a gun.
"... I do. There is.
I killed my classmates and my brother.
It was self-defense, and I wasn't that sick, but I felt terrible.
But if I hadn't, they would have killed me.
So I chose to kill myself.
I still don't regret it. But I don't know, I chose it myself, but I still feel the worst regardless of the number of people I killed.
You're a mass murderer (hero) without a choice, I thought you'd probably fall.
That's all.
Whether you have a family or someone important, when you fall, you fall.
But if that were to give you the magic you see more as sacred than anything, you wouldn't at least kill with magic. "
Then Ray tells me to look at Estelle.
Like I was told, I look up in the sky.
Then I saw Estelle, who kept hitting the invisible wall with a gun many times.
That ester, but I got a different impression than it was floating.
One way or another, it feels like you're standing on a transparent scaffold.
So Estelle never falls.
Before Estelle, a group laughing at her like that ridiculed her.
A group of people with guns were mocking it, including Sacubas.
"Tell you what.
The magic is strong, so there's not a strong one who can handle it.
I can use magic, so I'm not human.
No matter how strong the magic is, it makes no sense if the guy who deals with it is weak.
Even if you're not human, you can use magic. Even beasts without self can be used.
It's all a matter of dealing with.
There are no strong or weak weapons. It's all a matter of dealing with.
It's just a question of whether we're strong or weak. "
…………
"Tetsu, you think of yourself as a tool.
So whoever says you're human won't break that premise of yours.
So, dare you ask. You don't have to answer.
What do you want to be when magic is available?
Do you want to stay a tool, or do you want to be a person, like when you helped that young lady? You want to be something else. "
What are your future dreams? It seemed like they were asking.
"... I don't know"
I answered honestly.
Until now, there has been nothing.
But they put that in front of me.
I agree that magic can be used, i.e. it is seen as magical.
That means that they are viewed and treated as [ningen].
By being a [person] I've always admired.
To people, I admired it.
I've always admired something called [normal people].
But when people ask me if I really wanted to be, I'm probably a little different.
No, I never thought about what I wanted to do after I became a person.
So I don't know.
I saw Estelle, and Estelle's tapping gun got so bummed I couldn't use it.
Look at that, Estelle poisons the gun down like she gave up.
And
"I knew we'd end up here."
I shrugged about that.
Their mockery continued, and even more Sacubas came to Estelle's sight, laughing apart from one invisible wall.
Estelle holds her fist, however, without worrying about such a laugh or anything.
I glanced and saw a magical formation, a tattooed tattoo on that fist.
I slammed that fist I gripped against the invisible wall.
Pissy, there was nothing from the side. A crack entered the place.
"That's enhanced magic. Strengthen your body.
By the way, the one Estelle's standing in the air is airtight, the one who makes scaffolding.
It's an invisible scaffold that's a game or something.
So, "
Ray picks up the gun Estelle dumped earlier and shows it to me.
"This is also one of the enhancement magic. Earlier, I was beating this gun out of bullets with reinforced magic so sturdy.
By the way, when I use it on people, it's powerful enough to shred their heads.
Huh? In the end, the magic and the blade are together.
It depends on how you use it. "
Listening to Ray's commentary, I saw Estelle.
Estelle looks like she's having fun.
I just can't help but be there and have such a smile that being alive is fun.
That also resembles that smile Ray had when he played dumb.
The two smiles are alike.
And I'm very dazzled and envious.
When you can use magic, when you get magic, you can be a person.
The life design of ending as a tool is reset once. Return to blank paper.
But whether you get it or not, it doesn't seem to change living as a mass murderer.
Someone I don't know decided, they won't cover that appointment.
I wonder what to do.
I got what I wanted to get, after that.
I didn't decide anything.
But why not?
Undecided, I was very excited about that.
"Estelle, that sounds like a lot of fun.
So, how can I use magic like that?
Ray nodded.
"If you enjoy it and use it, it will be fun. That's all."
And added fascinating words.
"This time it's a reward, with a time limit.
But in some cases, I can assure you that I will keep using it.
It's a reward, but it's like tasting. "
The end of Ray's words coincided with the sound of the glass breaking.
And, furthermore, now there was a voice I didn't know about.
"Oh, I was there!
and goal (target) discovery!!
All hands, mud dumplings. Hey, shoot!
After such a voice, a brown ball was thrown simultaneously from behind the group that stood the gun.
Bechavecha, an attack from a completely defenseless place and the destruction of an invisible wall by ester made the scene chaotic.
Beating Mad Warrior (Berserker) and confusing Estelle and the rain of mud dumplings showered by a group that emerged from nowhere.
... Honestly, I don't know what's going on either.
Which one of these mud dumplings has sprung up?
Civilians, right???
Oh. Mud dough hit.
Hmm? Wow, this mud dumpling, with stones and blades in it. Shit.
That's vicious.
And, hmm????
Kusa, what, you smell so bad, you mud dumpling.
No, it stinks a little bit like this.
"... yay, the compost is not good!!??
I was too surprised to hear a strange voice.
