At the start of the campfire, I was still in the camp hut preparing what I would need to bring home tomorrow - although I explained to my sister in this way why I might be late, I knew that I just didn't want to go to the party.

That party was full of mediocrity and the atmosphere of the masses.

The mass and mediocrity are not necessarily a good thing, the qualitative point of human beings brings a kind of equality to human beings, and human beings are born equal, and this politically correct proposition can only be vividly expressed in a mass and mediocre society. However, the price to be paid for the masses and mediocrity is to swallow up all the unpopular and non-mediocre people.

Just like Rumi Tsurumi, she is trying to find a way to integrate into the collective, and once she sees this opportunity, she will go forward desperately.

So, another question that is often raised together with the proposition that all men are created equal, that all men are free, equality and freedom, is actually a pair of antonyms. Numerous political philosophers have argued that the terms democracy and freedom are opposed to each other, and that equality, which is the premise of democracy, is naturally relative to freedom.

Therefore, to achieve equality, freedom needs to be sacrificed.

Q: Do you want more of a society where all people are equal, or do you want a more liberal society?

A: The weak and the incompetent are more eager for equality, and the strong and talented are more eager for freedom.

Equality and freedom, both of which are not going to extremes, is not a good thing, but what we are facing now is a kind of abduction of those who should aspire to freedom with the greatest degree of equality into the chariot of equality—which may be overkill.

The premise of hidden talents is often that this society is not equal enough, and the weak are naturally drawn by the strong. However, when the weak try to use the identity of the weak to kidnap the strong, is it really necessary to hide talents?

I was not able to give an immediate answer to this question, for I saw another person in the hut besides me looking at me earnestly.

There was a rare seriousness in his rotten eyes, and there seemed to be some rare dissatisfaction in Hachiman.

"Yubihama, what did you say to Rumi in the forest just now?" Hikiya looked at me and said word by word.

He really saw it, but this is also a matter of course, as the director of this drama, he should have clearly seen every move of the core actors, right?

"I said something other than the script.,I hope I don't mind the senior of the company.。 ”

"I don't deny the importance of improvisation, and the image of you at the beginning was really unexpected, but the effect was also very good. "Biqigu is obviously not very good at oppressing others as a "righteous" party. Most of the time, he puts forward a countermainstream point of view, solving problems from the perspective of the wicked, which also makes his image often portrayed as somewhat insidious.

But, in any case, his starting point was to solve the problem, and the good people have the methods of the good people, and the evil people have the methods of the evil people, but the essence of solving the problem has not changed—and what I did at the time was completely in line with what he was going to do, at least, it was not the way they thought it was to solve the problem.

Therefore, in this conversation between me and Biqigu, "justice" and "evil" are reversed, and Biqigu, who is on the side of "justice" and tries to question me, seems to be a little overwhelmed by the fact that he is facing the "evil" side.

"Okay, can you tell me, what did you say to Rumi?" Hikiya's expression was a little awkward, he still played the role of a "righteous questioner" that he was not good at playing, perhaps, he saw Hayama's shadow in himself, and in mine, he saw his own shadow, right?

The transformation of positions between human beings is often so bizarre.

"Let her realize what the reality you created by Hikiya Senpai means to her, let her realize that the reality you created by Hikiya Senpai can't change her real situation, and tell her that losing this opportunity may not be a bad thing for her. ”

"So, are you trampling on everyone's efforts without permission?" said Bikiya with some hesitation and some disgust.

"Hikiya-senpai, don't you think you have a Hayama-sensal feeling when you say this?

"I don't like it at all, I don't want to ask you this kind of question if I could, it's really annoying to go and play fireworks with Komachi. Biqigu unabashedly showed a look of disgust.

"However, you still asked me, so, Hikitani-senpai, you are very dissatisfied with the accident I caused at that time, and you are surprised, right? After all, the solution you thought of might be destroyed by my words?"

"Yubihama, I'm not trying to solve it for Rumi alone, or for myself, my solution is recognized by everyone-even Hayama, who has to make a lot of sacrifices, everyone is trying, everyone is sacrificing-" Hikiya's voice trembled a little.

"—Everyone has sacrificed, so naturally you shouldn't trample on this kind of effort, right?Especially if someone like Hayama also sacrifices, it makes you feel very uncomfortable, right? But why?"

Hikiya looked at me in silence.

"Senior Bi Qi Gu, you are really a very gentle person!" I said a line that looked very similar to the heroine when she was attacked by the male protagonist, but, I believe, the expression on my face was definitely not the kind of gentle approval compared to Qi Gu, but a kind of sympathy, "If I guess correctly, you who think that you can get a better result by sacrificing something, when necessary, you will also choose self-sacrifice in exchange for the best result, right?" After all, from the point of view of objective value, your sacrifice is always smaller than the sacrifice of others. ”

"We're not talking about that, are we? "Hikiya's eyes are lowered, and I can't see his expression, but I can feel the huge fluctuations in his emotions - Hikiya Hachiman will not become the righteous person, so when he becomes the righteous person, he has already lost.

"Very good, then let's go back to the question at the beginning, since Hayama sacrificed, since Miura sacrificed, since I myself sacrificed this image of mine to a certain extent, I shouldn't waste everyone's efforts without authorization, right?"

"Lately, I've been more inclined to explain my behavior with a cruel example. I smiled and said to Qi Gu, "The story about the cannibals, senior, are you interested in hearing it?"

Bikiya nodded.

"Actually, the story is very simple, the cannibals caught a man and said to that person, if you don't eat people, we will eat you. The man hesitated and asked his partner for help, and then his partner told him, it's okay, eat it, or you'll be eaten. And then, at this time, there was a man who said, you are a civilized man at the end, how can you eat people?, and then the man who stopped him was complained by the others, and they complained: 'All of us are trying to help him survive, and for this we would rather sacrifice our moral standards, but why are you so cruel to prevent him from surviving?'"

"You think you're the only civilized person with morals, right?"

"If I say that, don't you think I'm a little arrogant? But that's the case, isn't it? You have done so much, breaking up small groups, making this collective a lonely individual, and the ultimate goal is not to let Tsurumi merge with the group that is incompatible with her actual thinking pattern, but the previous group is more closely integrated, and the current group is more dispersed? Even if civilized people eat people in the end, they will have something to adapt to, have you ever considered this?"

"Of course, it's better for you," I looked at the silent Hikiya and continued, "Tsurumi didn't accept my proposal in the end, I told her all the possible outcomes, and then, she chose the one she wanted the most at the beginning, and this outcome also matched your ideas, that was enough, right?"

-------------------------------- Dividing Line---------------------------------

After that, I abandoned Bikiya and went outside the cabin.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with Kiya Hachiman, even as a side that is not good at "justice", he should have behaved better, and I think he should have asked me some stronger rebuttals. And this weakness of his can only prove that in terms of big principles, he is the same as Hayama and other people.

Witnessing Tsurumi's predicament, trying to save her, without considering the true meaning of salvation and the possible consequences of salvation - the so-called self-righteous salvation, and self-righteous help. This is also the behavior of the masses of the world - because of their own mediocrity, the memedicity of the people around them, so self-righteously thinking that turning the non-mediocre into mediocrity is helping them, self-righteously, trying to deprive others of their freedom of thought without knowing it.

In the end, Hikiya Hachiman is nothing more than that, and in the end he is just a person who has lost his freedom by doing things that conform to the common sense of the public in a somewhat strange way, and has been kidnapped by the general trend of society.

However, when I left the hut, I was surprised to find that there was already a person outside the hut.

"Well, I didn't hear anything, I really didn't hear anything, Yui-senpai said you haven't come out, so I volunteered to come and see how you're doing, I just arrived!" Ipshiki explained his existence with an embarrassed face.

"Why are you so obedient to your sister's words, and you have to volunteer to inquire about the situation every time, don't you worry about being kidnapped and captured by bad people?" I didn't directly expose Isseki's lies, but I didn't pretend to believe her either.

I knew she could understand what I was saying.

Isshiki fell silent, then showed a somewhat subtle expression, and said, "Kazuya, I'm actually very curious about you." ”

"Hah, so you're trying to say you're curious about me, so make me think you might have feelings for me, and then trick me into confessing and then finally giving me a card for the long time ago - sorry, I've got you figured it out, so let me send you a card first. I'm sorry Issei classmate, I don't think you need to find a way to induce me to take the bait, I already have an object of admiration in my heart. ”

- Uh, I feel like I'm going too far? I suddenly became a little worried when I looked at Ichishiki's somewhat not-so-good-looking expression.

Let's not say that I didn't take care of Yishi's mood this time, and directly exposed her thoughts, a girl like Yishi, has been living in the stars of boys, and I use this straightforward way to issue cards, I will always have frustrated self-esteem, right?

"Uh, that, Isshiki-"

Just as I was about to make up for my mistakes a little, Isshiki spoke as if nothing had happened: "Well, although I didn't react at first, I suddenly realized that this is Kazuya, you are using the way of rejecting me to attract my attention, and then trying to use tenderness to attack and attack me, and finally achieve the effect of retreating into advance, right?" It's a pity, although I was really hurt at the time, and I want you to explain it, but after I found out this, I still have to tell you, I'm sorry, I don't like to play tricks on my boy like this, and next time the trouble will be more open. ”

Well, that's pretty good double anti-hairpin!I looked at Isshiki's confident and flirtatious face - okay, Ichiyu-san, give back the guilt I felt just now.

"That's it for today, let's stop the troops!" I snorted at Isshiki, and by this time, both of them realized that what the other had just said was not serious, and there was no need to fight anymore.

"But, Kazuya, it's true that I'm interested in you. ”

"yes, I can see that, too. ”

"Hey, Kazuya, don't deal with it, this sentence is the truth, and occasionally believe that I will tell the truth!"

"So, Miss Ichiyu, who is interested in me, what have you found on me lately?"

"Kazuya, I'm just a little scared," Isshiki sighed, showing a rare hesitant expression in front of me, and said, "Because, I feel that the real you will be terrible." ”

"Uh, isn't this a new type of strategy, didn't I say-" Looking at Isshiki's really serious looking expression, my routine words of complaining stopped.

For the first time, I couldn't tell if a color feather was telling the truth in front of me.

Then I remembered that I had said something similar to that under the snow the day before.

"No, the real me, not that terrible, or, at least, that terrible me, not the real me. I shook my head and rejected Isshiki's judgment.
