1046, different from Lingxian

But for Levi, I can't remember how long I've lived, and it's even a 'monster' like Penglai Mountain Kaguya who has lived for thousands of years. Although the period of a few decades or a hundred years is not as short as in the eyes of those ancient 'divine beasts', it cannot be said to be too long, at least it will not be considered a 'long history'.

Lévy also thinks that it may be because of the difference between his own concept of time and ordinary people, which caused a conceptual misunderstanding between the two sides. But Hiiragi's look that seemed to have been clear for a long time seemed to tell him that it wasn't like that.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Nemesis is indeed not a long-established organization that has existed for a long time. ”

Hiiragi Asuka exhales a hot breath after drinking coffee, and it looks very comfortable to sit on a chair with her hands propped up.

"Although I don't really know exactly when Nemesis was founded. Because the record of this in the organization is somehow vague. However, it is generally believed that Nemesis is an organization born to fight against alien beasts and solve the crisis of otherworldliness. ”

In fact, even if Hiiragi Asuka didn't say it, Levi originally thought so. After all, the name of their organization is already quite obvious 'explicit'. Nemesis, Nemesis, is the name of the goddess of revenge in Greek mythology and also in modern times. Although for many of the younger generation, it is embarrassing that it seems that the reason why most people know this name is often from games and comics that are particularly fond of all kinds of secondary school names and code names. But it does make Nemesis's name and meaning relatively well-known.

In general, if an organization has such a name, it is natural that everyone will think of the reason for the organization's creation and the purpose of its activities in the direction of 'revenge' and 'sanctioning something'. And since Hiiragi Asuka's Nemesis is an organization that specializes in fighting for alien beasts and otherworldly phenomena, it is natural to hear that name, and most people will think that this is probably a group that was originally assembled by some survivors who have been harmed by alien beasts and otherworldly disasters, and vow to avenge the loss of important people and completely eliminate the root cause of the disaster.

However, it is said that it was due to a major otherworldly catastrophe that caused Nemesis's personnel and the entire organization to be devastated at that time. And the reason why Nemesis has both the first and second headquarters at the same time is to avoid suffering too much damage due to the excessive concentration of the organization in the event of such a crisis again. ”

In other words, the so-called excessive loss should actually be close to being 'completely destroyed'. Not only did the important members not survive, but the headquarters of the organization was completely destroyed, and even some important materials were burned.

However, when Hiiragi Asuka talks about it, although it is heavy, it gives the impression of a little lacking in reality. It can be seen that the disaster she is talking about is not only quite far away from her current life, but also her relatives who were also in Nemesis, and it is estimated that no one has ever experienced it.

"Because of that incident, now you, the current members of Nemesis, don't know much about the early days of the organization?"

"Well, a lot of the situation is not clear. Only some very mutilated and incomplete information left at that time can find a little clue. Among them, some researchers have found that the existence of Nemesis does not seem to be necessarily what everyone thinks, but was founded by the appearance of alien beasts and other worlds. It is possible that Nemesis is an organization that existed long before the Otherworldly and Alien Beasts appeared in the real world. ”

The girl couldn't help frowning when she said this, obviously she didn't know about these 'possibilities' of the organization before. It is natural for a person to be confused because he does not even know the truth about the organization he belongs to. After all, although it has been said that such an organization is similar to the 'enterprise' in the ordinary world. But after all, this is not just a company where ordinary people receive a salary on the last shift. The goal of the 'enterprise' is not simply to make profits, but to have a clear 'real name' like religion and political parties. The members under it are not ordinary employees who need to pay their own labor and wisdom, but are likely to pay not only sweat, but also often accompanied by blood and even life.

Just working to earn money to support his family, such a small employee can be completely uninterested in his company's management and routes. As long as the company pays monthly wages and bonuses normally, you don't have to worry about anything. But people like Asuka Hiiragi who have dreams and hopes and are ready to sacrifice for them can't just be treated like ordinary company colleagues in their organizations and peers.

More like comrades-in-arms than colleagues. Although the duty of a soldier is to obey orders. However, how many ignorant soldiers are there who can really do nothing but act according to orders? I don't see that even the pure weapon that was cloned and made by Reisen has its own mind, and for whatever reason, it eventually broke away from the unit to which she belongs.

But of course, you can't directly compare the situation of Suzusen with Hiiragi Asuka. Although I haven't seen what Reisen was like when he was a soldier before. But from some of her past experiences, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she can basically piece together a rough outline.

Although it is true that the original Reisen is like the rest of the 'weapons' that have been manufactured. There is only the concept of obedience and obedience, and there is no accurate understanding of the boring, hard and dangerous life. But even in that kind of environment, which is not at all about liking and disliking, Lévi can hear from the words she recalls that it is different from the life of Reisen in Gensokyo.

Although it is true that there are all kinds of external factors. Even at the beginning, Reizen's choice to stay in Gensokyo was not made by Reisen herself, but because of some unavoidable circumstances. But after all, if it weren't for the subconscious dissatisfaction with his previous life, Levi wouldn't have heard such obvious inconsistencies in Reizen's narrative.

From the girl Hiiragi Asuka, Levi can't understand the negativity that Rezusen once had. Even if you guess in the most malicious direction, the people of the Nemesis Organization actually discovered Hiiragi's hidden potential early on, and arranged those 'plays' in her memory to achieve the purpose of absorbing such a strong person who will be able to shine in the future...... At least the girl, she should not be the slightest disgruntled in Nemesis now.
