Vol 1 Chapter 31 (1/2)
“This is wrong”
I'm now inside a military transportation helicopter, inscribed with an ashen wolf insignia, heading back to the Blackhazel Manor
Lily is sitting besideabsentmindedly outside the
Below us is the dark night sea, flowing as if to s everything inside its dark abyss, like the legendary Leviathan
As the aard silence continues on, Maria finally opens her mouth
“What could you be referring to?”
She's not asking a question
Or rather, she understands what I’ as to why she can’t understand me
“Back there… That wasn't normal at all”
“There is nothing to feel strange about Surely you don’t feel pity toward them, Onii-sama?”
“Pity, you say”
I’ about pity here
Be it Geneva Convention or whatnot, the fact that a huht in front ofto do with the fact that the said huroup of terrorists Just like a Möbius strip
No, that fact that confuses me the most isn’t this
“Alright, let’s say everything you’ve been saying is correct and all”
Even so, I can’t accept this
“Do you… really feel nothing hat just happened?”
“What do you '?”
So she’s not even aware of the proble like this is just an everyday life for you?
I just can’t understand
Anyone could see hoisted this is; it's a given
“How can you even act so calm?”
“Because that was the best choice to take at the time”
Best choice?
Torturing people with cruelty beyond i around helpless with no will to resist, breaking their li for his life into the sea, was that really the best choice to make at the time?
“What happened back then had nothing to do with choices It was just indiscriminate sadism!”
Yes, fro more than insanity-driven violence
Not more, not less
“That’s you, and Lily was…”
“Lily is our agent working under Bandersnatch’s finest special force we take pride in I think Onii-sah”
As if trying to say that is enough, Maria cuts across my sentence and retorts in a matter-of-factly tone
Matter-of-factly
An agent with her naistered under the multinational PMC Bandersnatch’s military computer database In other words, she’s a soldier There’s nothing wrong with her killing and torturing It’s how she was trained
Yes
That attitude right there is the core of the probleht there
“There’s nothing wrong because she’s a soldier Is that what you're saying?”
“That's correct”
I’ic of the Blackhazel, at this giant sobll of irony standing before me
“Lily’s just a child that should still be in ele with that because she’s a soldier?! Giving knives and guns to a child, training her to kill people – can you honestly say there’s nothing wrong with that?”
“Exactly so I a my point correctly”
Exactly what does it mean to be a Blackhazel?
I knew nothing
This world, this logic
I’ve never heard of it, and I don’t want to
“I've become afraid of you”
“!”
Why did I say that
No, why I did I’m painfully aware of
Maybe I knew bylogic and reasoning against her, but against her heart
《I could care less about the world 》
“What, do you mean…?”
《The dead that condeht, the sea of blood froht of their grudge, and the fingers pointing the blahtest》
“I’ I’m afraid of you”
《What I’liness or the world’s blame, but…》
“That…!”
《the rejection that will cos》
As I expected, it hit straight to her heart
Maria see her lips
“Why…?”
“Don’t you knohy?”
“Those people, they inflicted injury upon my precious Onii-sama…! I only made sure they paid the price! Why, Onii-sas I hold for you?!”
“Feelings, you say”
what kind of nonsense are you sprouting now
“Don’t s here Only your twisted sense of standard you view the world, filled with arrogance and ir…!”
Just when I was about to lose it and raise my voice
Just then
Dorothy, as sitting there, silent and voiceless, stands up and slapsshe has
Not knohy, I look up on Dorothy staring down on me
“Dorothy…?”
Even for Maria, itshe didn’t expect
“H about the reality, but look at you hurting people hiding behind your so-called “kindness” It’s like you’re the only person right in this world, addingnoble, and whatnot just to make yourself look like a fancy saint!”
“What…?”
“Just wake up, you stupid idiot!”
“Dorothy, your words against our Onii-sama are out of line!”
Despite Maria’s words Dorothy continues on
“Murder? Torture? So what! The reason you plebeians stay plebeians is always the sa to change it Not like you have the ability to anyway!”
“Avoiding responsibilities now?! Wasn’t it your fault that all this in with?”
Your
To be accurate, you and me
It’s sos can’t narrow any closer
“What?! You stupid idiot, are…”
“…Stop”
Just as ere about to start shouting and let this escalate further
Tired of our ra, Lily speaks in a quiet but audible voice with her e
“Fighting is, bad… So…”
“!”
“Geez, why did I even start this…”
With that, Dorothy breathes out a sigh, and turns her sight towards theTi into the Carpathian Mountains shadows in
