"Hmm~ Eh, hey, hey~ Sure enough, the chicken steak made by Brother Geralt's is delicious, and it is completely different from the charcoal-grilled chicken steak sold in this city!"

"Well, after all, this is one of the charms of fried food... But I still didn't expect Beta to want to eat this. ”

The time was just a little past nine o'clock, but the whole city was surprisingly calm.

But come to think of it, how can a city that has just experienced war prosper the next day?

"But why did Brother Geralt do this? It always feels like a game character, he can do anything!"

“... It's just that I had to study because of my past work. ”

Remove the golden fries from the pan and drain the excess oil.

The four families are still figuring out what to do next, but the outcome is none of the doji people, so they have so much time to make food by hand.

"How about talking to Beta, on the other hand, Beta will also be open and honest, for example, the age is 986 years old, the height is 150 cm, and the chest circumference is 6-"

"I'll talk about it, so please keep quiet. ”

With the sound of French fries being thrown into the oil pan again and fried, the black-haired teenager sorted out his thoughts a little,

But which part to talk about, and where to stop, the boy is still as confused as in the past, and he has never been able to be open and honest with others, does he really have the courage to confess everything in the past?

However, it is impossible to keep it in my heart, and sooner or later these things will all be revealed at some point, and at that time, what kind of repercussions will it cause, even if you just imagine it, it will feel like people will vomit.

It would be better to say it in such a moment of calm as if it were... It's a pastime after tea and dinner, so it's good for everyone, whether it's for the people of the Doji, or for Geralt himself, so—

“... Let me tell you first, Beta, a long, long time ago, I was the kind of person who had no kindness at all, but I had a bottom line of "not killing irrelevant people", and then acted recklessly according to my own will.

If work tells me to kill a child, I will do it, because it is work, and if a pregnant woman stands in my way during work, I will kill her along with the child in my womb because they are in my way.

At that time, I had no technology and no conscience, so I committed a sin that is not forgivable even here, but because of this, I have a very deep malice towards the concept of "malice"... No, the fries are fried, give. ”

The pure, crystalline powder sprinkled on the golden fries is now only a flavoring agent that brings beauty and enjoyment, but in the past, it was a lethal medicine that brought death and reward.

"Wow~ It's so good to eat, but how does Brother Geralt usually deal with his work goals?

“... Aren't the fries meant to be sprinkled with salt, add some colorless poison to the salt, it's as simple as that. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the knife and fork falling to the ground came, and when I looked back, the girl with long black hair had a blue face, as if she had received some huge blow,

"Ahh

"-Hey, hey, hey, you're a machine, and a machine can't be poisoned, and I didn't put anything like that. ”

Looking at the little girl who was already stupid, the young man laughed out loud, just a joke, it's a cute person who is so direct and serious, and sometimes it's funny to forget that he's a machine.

But if it's in the past, it's not a joke.

"To be honest, human beings are quite fragile creatures, even with their teeth, they can easily bite off their throats, as long as they fix the angle, they can break their necks with a little force, and I know this very well in the past, so I have never used the same method to kill,

Because of this, I myself have never been suspected... If I hadn't had the chance, I thought, I'd be a murderer all my life, and one day I would suddenly make a big mistake and shoot me on the spot in a neat and neat way. ”

The remnants of the palms have long been washed and spotless, but because of this it feels unsettling,

So many lives have been taken, and more human lives will continue to be taken from now on, until the long-cherished wish of the millennium is fulfilled, or he dies.

"I still think that the watchman of the cross has chosen the wrong person, a murderer who has no expectations of humanity, how can he help you to complete the atonement?"

"But, Brother Geralt, have you changed, or you wouldn't be so sad. ”

That's right, it changed, but it changed too late, like crocodile tears, just to remove salt for itself, in the final analysis, it's for yourself,

"You've already taken that step, right? Just keep going, Beta will prove it, whether it's the fact that Geralt's brother has become a hero, or the fact that humanity has changed, Beta will prove it to you!"

"What a fool... I haven't heard that in years, and even if you compliment me, I won't give you anything. ”

Pushing open the door, there was no trace of anyone outside the corridor, either in the corridor or outside the window.

"I'll go see how the eldest lady of the Auduhain family is doing, and come back with two more pieces of chicken breast, Beta, just wait here. ”

"Okay~ Then please. ”

He pretended to be relaxed and walked out of the room, but the moment the door closed, the boy wept bitterly.

What was the opportunity to transform the past?

It's not fear, it's not boredom, it's changed by the children who were saved unintentionally, by the selfless "love" they gave, and by the word "hero" shouted by the immature children's voices.

Because I don't want to owe them, I try to have feelings, because I want to be their hero, so I change the style left in the past, because I still lost them in the end, so I feel sad from the bottom of my heart,

Then, the boy finally realized what he had done in the past, what he had taken away, and what he had brought, so he would choose to retire at that time, give up the fame and power he had gained in the shadows, and become a normal ordinary human being.

However, it still failed, and when "they" were attacked by the malicious and wanton attacks of unrelated people, the teenagers who were witnesses could not stop them, and when they were tortured by intense pressure to the point that they had to die, the teenagers' hands could not grasp their lives.

Then, even if revenge is launched due to a strong sense of hatred, in exchange for only two painless results, the real culprit is never a single person, but a collective, not a group of numbers that can be slowly dealt with with technology and drugs, but like an ocean, World Wide Web users who can vent their malice at will with the help of "free speech".

Therefore, the boy was crushed by the unbearable weight, and was crushed by the hard-won sense of justice and the dark reality.

So, the boy chose to die, but because of this, he got a second chance.

It is not to atone for sins, nor to rest, but to be able to destroy the fate of this world with his own hands with his own hands.

"I don't believe in my past self, and I don't believe in the human being of the present, but... But I believe in you, and that's all it takes. ”

Let them not become puppets because of the malice of the gods, and let them lose everything because of the jokes of fate,

Since it is impossible to erase the malice of humanity itself, since it is impossible to restore the lives that have been lost,

Then entrust the future to trustworthy people, then cut off the wings of gods and fate,

As long as they are alive and free, they can create the future with their own hands, and sooner or later, the kindness inherited from the twin spirals of the past, engraved in the depths of the genes, will change the world.

It's like the kindness of the children that changed Geralt, and changed the whole world.

"As long as it is this, as long as it is like this, as long as it is enough. ”
