You were being careful so she doesn’t feel unpleasant. Megu-chan and Mana-chan
yeah.it was scary It’s okay. She knows courtesy. I think that she also knows how Mana-chan felt
Kyouko-san said
Especially.the girl who’s been having bad temper all this time
Kyouko-san looks at Yukino
.What?
Or rather.why are you still here?
No, thinking about it. True, there’s no other place than here. But still, she’s sitting with such an arrogant attitude.
Don’t misunderstand.I don’t want to be in this place. Really
Saying that far.Yukino looks for words to say,
.But, how should I say it.I just thought that I should be here when you wake up. That’s why I’m here. That’s all!
.I don’t get what that means.
That’s why I ignore it.
.Where’s Katsuko-nee?
In the kitchen. She’s preparing breakfast
Megu answers
Err. Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, and Michi came back earlier in preparation for Ruriko’s father’s funeral. Seki-san should be with them too. Reika.she must be doing work for Kouzuki security service.
I have to call Edie. She was hiding in that room until Cordelia goes away
Kyouko-san stands up and tries to search for sister Edie.
Minaho-neesan and Margo-san?
.With Nei-san
I see.
Earlier, Kyouko-san. She said that one of herlittle sisteris still depressed.
It’s on that room. You should go and take a look!
Kyouko-san tells me.
Chapter 340
Chapter 340. We shall Overcome
Margo’s worried about you too
Kyouko-san tells me.
Right, I fainted.
Got it, I’m going then
I try to head to the room where Nei-san is.
.Then
Wait a moment
The door opens and Minaho-neesan appeared.
Ah.good morning, Minaho-neesan
Good morning.show me your face
Minaho-neesan stares at my face
.What?
.Looks like there’s no problem
.Prooblem
You seem stable. Should I say as expected of Nagisa-chan?Mao-chan too of course
Kyouko-san smiles
Little girls cures all sorts of diseases after all1
Err.
I won’t deny it. If Mao-chan tells meDo your bestafter running a full marathon, I feel like I can go for another 42.195km more.
You.do you not know how much danger you were in?
Minaho-neesan speaks to me holding both of my shoulders.
.Danger?
That’s what Margo was afraid of!
What is she afraid of?
It’s not that I’m.
Margo has always been worried about the danger that you would become a man who’s not hesitating to hurt and kill people
.Me? Humans get numb on a sensation when they get used to it. That includes people’s death .Okay Not hesitating to use violence in order to protect the family.it might be unavoidable but it will be strange if you get too used to the violence. Using violence on people for just a trivial thing.feeling easy to kill people. There’s a lot of them in my line of work. Guys who lose their brakes. Those guys can’t be worked with. They dispose people with some reason. Just being with them is dangerous
Kyouko-san said.
It was expecially dangerous for you.since the situation is too special
.The situation is too special?
If you didn’t shoot Cesario Viola in that timing.nearly half of the people on that floor would be dead. Therefore, you were right to kill him. That’s situation 1
.Yeah
In the first place, Cesario Viola is Nei’s enemy, he’s a real scum that nobody would complain whoever kills him. Therefore, it shouldn’t matter that you killed him. That’s situation 2
.Right.
And, that place was an insane and chaotic space. Just before that, Kouzuki gramps requested for a murder and Cordelia killed a man. In spite of that, Gramps and Cordelia don’t seem to be judged by the court of Japan. The outlaws of the underground society and the owner of an extreme power are together.it was a place where crimes are overlooked. Thus, in order to save people, you killed Viola.you shall not be judged. That’s situation 3
Being told once again.that’s true.
A normal human would justify their actions with the reasons I gave. Telling oneself that it’s not wrong to kill Viola. But.the head only works towards justification, the heart doesn’t
Kyouko-san said.
A murderer is a murderer. Taking away a person’s life.causes a physiological rejection in regards to the blood squirting out. That’s for normal humans.
Normal humans.
True, when I shot a bullet to Viola.when I saw the red blood. .I felt horrified. .Scared.
Let me tell you again.that one was a truly special situation. You taking a mental shock in regards to killing a person is natural as a human being but.it’s possible that the situation would cancel the shock .Possibility.
For example, someone says.This can’t be helped so you didn’t do anything wrongdefending your murder. It’s Viola so it’s fine to kill him, orSince this hotel is extraterritorial, there’s no problem.while being talked as such, you’ll also thinkthat might be You feel your heart is saved. But, as a result.you forget self-justification, guilt.the face that you killed a person will become light inside you .Yeah
The memory of killing a person to protect thefamilywill be memorized in your head.the disgust and shock your heart felt that time would be forgotten. The, what do you think will happen?
Kyouko-san keeps talking as she observe my reaction.
Next time you get in trouble.you’ll become a person who uses more violence than necessary. You try to solve problems with violence, and your brakes won’t work anymore.
You’ll lose the fear of hurting people
There’s a possibility of becoming a violent person.
You were lucky back then.Yukino-san was there. She’s a girl who screams around her emotions when her head’s nervous, not even reading the atmosphere.
Minaho-neesan looks at Yukino.
What’s with that. It’s as if you’re making a fool of me!
Yukino’s angry.
She’s got no awareness so she’s the real deal!
Kyouko-san said looking amazed.
If you’re a person with a bit of kindness to others.then you can’t say those horrible things on the spot. The situation back then was hopelessly dangerous.it was an unusual world. Yukino-san who brings the common sense of the everyday world and screams out her emotions is the clear madman. She’s a lass whose ego is beyond saving.but it was fortunate that she threw her daily world’s common sense to you.
Yukino’s puffing.
Somehow, it feels like I’m being told that I’m messed up though.
Kyouko-san and Minaho-neesan ignores Yukino.
As a result.you were brought back to the everyday world. I must not kill people, and it’s horrible to hurt peoplewas the priority inside your head
Therefore, you didn’t overstep the line
.line?
Illegal.the outlaw world shouldn’t be taken for granted. Just like me
Kyouko-san laughs sadly
But, I.am a member ofKuromori, a criminal organization. I already belong to this side
You belong to a criminal organization but.staying on which side of the line is another thing. You’re still on the side of ordinary people. You still have the common sense in you .Common sense? What’s common sense? Is that important?
Yukino asks.
Asking that question means that you’re really a foolish girl who grew up spoiled. Well fine. Let me tell you
Kyouko-san said while smiling wryly
Humans are a group creature. Creatures that can’t survive without making agroupcalledsociety And yet, it’s a creature where each one has a will
I’ve heard about this before.
Societyas agroup.always look for optimal conditions and changing. At the same time, theindividualalways aim for the optimal situation. This is usually calledthe pursuit of happiness However, there are many cases where the optimization as an individual and as society confront each other. I think it’s easy to understand when you compare it to companies.for the companygroup, its easier to reduce the personnel expenses and yet.theindividualwhich is the employee wants to raise the salary even a bit.or something like that .I see.
