"The reason why the Otherworld is unexpectedly connected to the world on this side of the earth. It may have been an accident at first. But after such a long time, something else may have been derived from the accident. As you mentioned, the disasters caused by the Atlas and the Beasts, as the origin of those events, the high-end beasts, whether they are called Apostles or whatever, are not just ordinary beasts that act on instinct like just now. That's right?"

In this labyrinth, Kaguya 'played' all the way, and Hiiragi, who followed behind, also chatted with Levi all the way. Although the two are high school teachers and girls' high school students in the central area of the school island respectively.。 But at this time and place, they certainly can't talk about the same topics that normal teachers and students should talk about when they're together.

From exotic beasts to otherworldly plants, minerals, and other strange things, phenomena. The two kept talking about some of the major events that Hiiragi Asuka knew about the other world.

Although Kaguya didn't listen too seriously, she didn't read all kinds of books, newspapers and magazines since she came to this earth like Reizen. Hiiragi Asuka and Levi talked about the incidents, most of which she had never heard of at all. But just from Levy's reaction, you can also know that those are probably some big news that was indeed a sensation.

"Yes, those beasts have the same mind and intelligence as us humans. Some of them can even communicate with humans in language. ”

Hiiragi Asuka said what she had just said again. Although a strange beast like that, she had never encountered it for a long time since she had just become an executor.

"They have the same ability to think, they have intelligence, and they can even communicate in the same language. Such alien beasts, if it weren't for their appearance, would not be a big problem to treat them as humans. ”

Kaguya's words made Hiiragi Asuka stop talking. I don't know if I don't want to quarrel with people about such a trivial issue, or if I really don't care about this kind of conceptual thing. The girl didn't say anything in the end, and let Kaguya continue. After all, there are so many strange beings in this world. Magicians from the wizarding world are theoretically not the same 'thing' as humans on Earth. It's at least an alien or an otherworldly person. Not to mention that there are vampires, werewolves, and other creatures that are certainly not considered human beings on earth. However, there seems to be nothing wrong with simply referring to these groups that have the same wisdom and thinking ability as human beings, and who can communicate normally, or even many of whom have integrated into the same society, simply as 'people'.

At least Levi and some of his friends have long been in the habit of doing so. Like he never cared about Kaguya's call 'moon man' or 'Penglai man', and he didn't treat Reisen as a monster, even if that rabbit-eared girl dangled around at home every day with rabbit ears that Naye and the others thought were cute. Not to mention Alice's magician who claims to be no longer human, but no matter how you look at it, she is exactly like a human, at most she has a longer lifespan and a higher magical affinity.

If each of them is referred to by their own titles, then is Levi not considered human, but should be called an alien, a person from another world, or something else?

"Since the appearance and existence itself are different, everything else is similar to that of a human being. Then when considering the behavior of those strange beasts, it is natural to use human logic to do this, right?"

"You're trying to ask us if we've ever thought about the cause and purpose of the beasts, though many people in the Society, and in the Zodiac, don't care about these things. They felt that no matter what, the real solution would be if all the beasts were destroyed. But in addition to this, there are some people who have been studying and considering these problems, and hope to find other, more realistic solutions from them. ”

I don't know what kind of faction she is Hiiragi Asuka, but after she accidentally met Levi in the other world in the morning, she immediately thought of asking the people of the organization to try contact with him, and it can be seen that this is not the kind of madman who is carried away by hatred and knows that he will destroy all the 'enemies', and no one is allowed to stay. Judging from what happened to this girl in the past, it is really rare that she can grow up to be as 'normal' as she is now.

Any person whose parents have lost their lives because of being killed, even if they do not regard the person who killed their parents as the enemy of their lifelong wish, it is difficult for anyone to look at it objectively and calmly. However, Hiiragi Asuka has always given the feeling of Penglai Mountain Kaguya when discussing the issue of the other world and the beasts, and no one reminds them that this girl and these monsters in the other world actually have a deep hatred for the fate of their parents. It's as if she's just an ordinary hot-blooded newcomer who has successfully entered the police force and is interested in eradicating crime, as if she was holding a serious meeting with people to discuss how to reduce the crime rate at this stage first.

Kaguya thinks that she can't be like Hiiragi Asuka. It's not just that she was still a real immature like her. Even now, if anyone hurts someone important to them, don't look at Kaguya staying in his room all day long, and it doesn't seem to be much close to others. It's this kind of person's reaction in an abnormal situation, which is even more unbelievable.

"From the first discovery of the Atlas to the present, how many labyrinths like this have appeared on the earth, I'm afraid that as long as you are not in charge of counting this, others will not know at all, right?"

"Sometimes a place doesn't have another world for a long time. But there are also some places where once the door to the other world is opened, there will be one after another, and even every day a new door will appear. ”

Hiiragi Asuka shook her head, it was clear that Levi was right.

"There are not so many executors of associations, and it is impossible to pay attention to all corners of the earth at all times. Even if you add so many enterprises in the zodiac and so many wrong unions, there will always be places that cannot be taken into account. In fact, many of us are like the late cops in the movies who are always complained about when the matter is over. When there are already incidents in some places that are suspected to be caused by the Atlas, we can get the news and immediately send someone to investigate. ”

Although certainly not as terrifying as the number of old case records piled up in the police department's archives.
