The vast majority of people are people who claim to be smart but are actually stupid – that's a point I've been reinforcing over the years. Just give them a hint and they'll act like my puppets.

Like the members of the Executive Committee, who are now slowly ramping up their work, the vast majority of whom have forgotten the ease they wanted in the first place, and have become obsessed with taking on responsibilities that they had previously refused to take just to embarrass a student they didn't like.

Of course, among these people, there will be a few sober people after all, such as the guy with rotten eyes who was very sober before, and maybe more sober now.

As I left the classroom, Hikiya caught up with me – rarely, he took the initiative.

"Yubihama, don't you think you're going too far?" he said to me, carefully considering the sentence.

"This isn't the style of Hikiya's predecessors! If you say something that isn't sharp enough, if Hiratsuka-sensei or your Komachi sister hears it, they don't know how touched they will be! Well, from Hikiya Hachiman's progress, you have sympathy for others again, and the changes that the ministry has brought to you, or—"

"—You know, Yubihama, I'm not joking. ”

"I've told you this judgment a long time ago, you're not fit to be a messenger of justice, you'd better carry out your set of crooked reasoning to the end, instead of attacking me from a perspective with the right value. Haven't you absorbed the lesson you learned from the forest school three months ago? Or do you naturally have a sense of responsibility as a senior because you are in front of your juniors, so you have some impulses that even you can't explain?"

From start to finish, I couldn't say that I liked Hikiya Hachiman. However, there is no doubt that I respect Hikiya Hachiman, both of us are people who believe in our own judgments, both are people with our own principles, and I have always respected and admired people who have their own clear explanations for the world, and there may be differences in the explanatory power of the understanding of the world, but such people are at least people who are thinking on their own.

Even in the forest school, even if I made a completely different choice from Biqigu, I respected him, at least, at that time, Biqigu was an angular person who was willing to take the risk of being not understood by society to implement his own ideas.

However, it is incomprehensible to me that Bikigu, who questioned me about the excesses of my actions, is a person who has lost his edges and corners—a person who can hurt himself without hesitation to achieve his goals, and who should worry about others getting hurt.

"People who are aware of the cruelty of this world will only suffer less damage when they are injured, so if someone has to sacrifice, they should choose those who are mentally prepared, don't you think so, Yubihama?" However, Hikiya Hachiman was not silent like last time, he just continued with his words.

"So, those who are not aware of the cruelty of the world have to be protected by those who are aware of the cruelty of the world?

"From the point of view of minimizing the overall damage, this is helpless. ”

"How come I didn't find out before, that you are such a virgin, according to your logic, Joan of Arc should have been dedicated to the stupid French, right?"

"I'm not the kind of person who would give to things that have nothing to do with me, but when it hurts the interests of people or things that I feel are important, it is most effective to sacrifice the person who has a clearer understanding of reality. ”

"Compared to Qigu's predecessors, do you think that the people in this world will worship the Virgin Mary more or worship heroes more?"

This time, I didn't wait for him to come back and continued.

"People only worship heroes, people never worship the Virgin, people question the Blessed Lady more, because the vast majority of people in the world, although they are stupid to the extreme, have disappointing egoistic tendencies - they even question the sacrifice of Mary. Yes, Joan of Arc may have been just a witch for fame! After Joan of Arc's death, many French people seemed to think so. ”

"And your so-called self-sacrifice - in the final analysis, is just a kind of self-satisfaction. You pride yourself on seeing through all the evils of the world, and then you self-righteously decide on a solution to them. At the end of the day, have you found that the predecessors of Biqigu have never referred to other people's opinions! What is the difference between being as bad as me, self-destructing without referring to other people's opinions, and controlling other people without referring to other people's opinions?"

"Of course, if there is a difference, there must be. Although I don't have hope, I can assume that there is a minimum expectation in the heart of the predecessors of Biqigu, expecting that his self-explosion can be understood by some people, and then, he can be saved by some people, and finally, some people can be sobered up - but this is just an ethical expectation. Ignorant people do not become ignorant because of your salvation - so the right thing to do is for the heroes to show them the way. Believing in the awakening of everyone's self-consciousness is the biggest mistake I made in the previous overkill, and now, I don't make that kind of mistake. ”

Bi Qigu's head was lowered, at such times, he was never a person with a rich expression, and more often, when he said something like that, he just had a gloomy expression on his face.

"So, what you're doing to the people you're doing right now, are you heroic? aren't you leading them as a positive image?"

"Why should I care what method I take to control people? I can now make them do what I want in this way, and if the conditions are right, I can certainly make them act according to my judgment by positive guidance. ”

"But, Yubihama, don't you think, you're too arrogant?"

"However, senior Biqigu, if you want to change this situation at this time, won't you be as arrogant as me?

"But you've failed, haven't you?

"It's because I've failed that I don't make the same mistakes. To deny an idea because of a mistake in the result is in itself overkill, and like an experiment, it is not necessarily that the steps of the experiment are wrong, but that some qualified conditions are not met. ”

"It's going to be hard for that guy under the snow to come back. ”

"But if we don't solve this problem now, I think it will be even more difficult when she comes back. ”

"I don't think, Yubihama, your sister won't like to see you like this. ”

"Pulling family members out as a reason to threaten is a bit inferior, isn't it?"

Bikiya finally didn't speak anymore.

"Of course, the challenge I raised is also applicable to you. I looked at Biqigu, smiled softly, and said.

"If you really want to save, if you really try to 'wake up' those inside through self-sacrifice, believe me, I won't stand in your way. Do they think we can fight more if they like your 'deliverance' more, or if they like my 'leader' more?"

"I don't think, at least, I don't have to do this for those people. Biqigu shook his head and turned to leave.

I'm glad you didn't take over my motivation - but does that mean you don't have confidence in your victory?

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

Aside from the unpleasant appearance, Hikiya Hachiman is a gentle person. So, we can also make an assumption that if someone is aware of his tenderness inside, that person should like him.

Perhaps, Yui-san has noticed this, after all, she is such an emotionally sensitive person!

So, what kind of existence is Yuhihama and what kind of existence is there in the heart of Yuhihama Kazuya's middle two diseases?

The conclusion was, unfortunately, not gentle enough.

It's because I'm not gentle enough, so, sometimes, I feel sorry for Koharu, because she has endured my ingentleness for two years.

Of course, I think I've tried to be gentle. When I believe in other people's realization, when I believe in human reason, I feel that I am gentle - it's just that reality doesn't give me this opportunity.

So, I have to choose to be a Chrisma and look at everyone as a superior leader, and only then can I implement my current philosophy.

And this kind of me should be getting farther and farther away from the me that Xiao Mushu's predecessors expected, right?

Sometimes, life choices are just two forks in the road.

Yesterday afternoon, the words of Kogi Senpai's senior to me who was "asleep" almost shook the basis of my thinking—if it hadn't been for this accident under the snow, I felt that I would have really been moved by that sincere tenderness.

However, as I was destined to be, I couldn't turn back when I chose to perform her role in the snow's place. If it's really like what the predecessors said: everyone knows what they want the most affection. Well, I, who are now manipulating people's hearts, are undoubtedly standing on the opposite side of what my predecessors said.

If it weren't for this conversation with Bikigu, maybe I just had a vague idea of what I was doing, and I didn't have a clear grasp. However, after my conversation with Hikigu, I have become more and more aware of the gap between my thoughts and those of others, and if I could have used my lack of clarity in what I was trying to do to excuse my inconsistent behavior - now, with a logic that has been implemented throughout, there is no way back.

I can only believe in my own rightness and move forward.

Either to success or to destruction.

However, what I do know is that I can no longer accept the gentleness of Yukina Kogi, the kind of gentleness that I once expected, and the kind of gentleness that was once within reach.

Unless, let me destroy this who I am now.

"Uh, Kowa, what are you doing outside the classroom?"

The unique way of calling me, and the smell of my sister that I knew all too well, brought me back to reality.

- Actually, not necessarily!

Kazuya Hihama also left a room for himself until the last moment - family exceptionalism.

If, I mean, if I can still crave a little tenderness, I'm sure Yui Yui Yuira will respond to this affection with all the might.

Although I can't go back, if the game of life can be deleted and restarted, I will probably still have a home!

------------------------------------PS-----------------------------------------

Actually, I wanted to explain the psychological state of the protagonist now, but I didn't want to explain it too bluntly, so let everyone feel the state of mind of the protagonist who is constantly colliding with confidence and doubt, reason and sensibility. In fact, in general, this chapter is a manifesto of the protagonist's complete blackening (probably).

Originally, it was almost black when I wrote it, but I always couldn't bear to let the protagonist be so black, so I left him a little leeway. Or rather, while Kazuya is dying to the end, he quietly stretches a thread out of Yui's body—a thread that can finally lead to his salvation. From this point of view, Yui's sister Maji Angel!
