Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Leader Who Is Supported

"However, whether the so-called head sheep can always make the right decision, and whether the victim who is eliminated in the end can calmly accept the fate of his elimination, this is not necessarily, right? This most cruel law of survival may apply to the society of the animal kingdom, but it is not applicable to the society of humans, right?" Biqiya raised his head a little fiercely, although there was nothing in his eyes that looked fierce, but his momentary movements proved his dissatisfaction.

"So, in your opinion, what are the laws that apply to human society, or do you believe that the human world is full of light, hope, and even mutual understanding?"

The rotting dead fish's eyes want to open, but in the end they can't do anything about it. I am well aware of this.

Any way of analyzing the world has its own premises, and certain assumptions can also lead to a view that suits its logic itself.

If Hikiya thinks that the world is hypocritical, full of deception and concealment - as his words reflect, then his solution to the problem is powerless - there is always one person to sacrifice, and that's fine, but the question is whether that person's sacrifice is worth it. In a world of mistrust between people, if a person is prepared to solve problems at his own expense, the problems will never be solved, because the people he is trying to wake up with his own body are not awakened if he realizes this and continues to do so. That person is not trying to solve a problem, but just outright hypocritical self-satisfaction.

Only by sacrificing those who deserve most can the numb masses realize what they have lost in a world without a sense of crisis, and the only way to ensure the sacrifice of those who deserve most is to let the one who is the leader decide their life and death.

Of course, most things don't need to rise to the level of life and death, but those who need to be covered in mud should not be done by someone who takes the initiative to give without expecting anything in return.

The three points that my sister said about relying on others are more important than the sacrifice that Qigu thinks, and the emphasis on one person to solve all problems under the snow can be connected. One person appears, leads everyone to solve all problems, everyone depends on that person, trusts that person's judgment, and lets that person decide who to sacrifice, so that the most efficient and complete society is formed.

Hikiya still tried to refute me, but he was not good at words, and he was perfectly able to realize that his assumptions about the world were more in line with my conclusions—unless he believed in the light of the world. Under the snow looked at us at a loss—it was really overwhelmed, as if she was already at a loss for what to do when she handed over the decision to me and Hikiya. However, she was no doubt aware of the meaning behind my conversation with Hikigu.

"Although I didn't fully understand it, but what Xiaohe and Xiaoqi mean is that they can't cooperate, even if they just rely on us, can't they? Such a conclusion, it's strange, right?" the sister gritted her teeth and asked dissatisfiedly, "It's strange, right? I know that Xiaohe's judgment is always accurate, and I know that Xiaohe's point of view I can't always refute, but just according to common sense, it's weird, right?" Obviously, many problems are solved by unity and cooperation, and it is not a big deal to rely on others, so why do you have to use such a very complex set of logic to argue these seemingly simple truths?"

"Sister Yui, that's just because, logic can't make mistakes, and intuition does. Logic leads to the optimal solution, and intuition, like Peter the Great, drew the shortest straight line between two points on a map, will make you mistaken. ”

"So, I don't understand these things!"

However, it is precisely because I don't understand that I am the sister I like!

"What about Xiaoxue, what does Xiaoxue think about herself, the key question is not Xiaohe's opinion with Xiaoji, but Xiaoxue's own thoughts, right?"

However, under the snow there was just not a word.

When she first handed over the decision to someone else, the outcome was already doomed. The proud, always right, the ideas that she herself has worked so hard to maintain, and that I have helped her maintain, belong to the snow under the snow, have collapsed. Maybe at other times she could reinvent that image in front of others – but, once it has collapsed, it's hard to reinvent. What's more, this is actually the second collapse of Yukino under the snow.

There was a strange silence in the room—I even wished that even someone like Yono under the snow would stir up the atmosphere, but since the owner of this room appeared, the owner's sister had disappeared.

In winter, the room should be warmer than outside, but I could feel the temperature around me drop dramatically.

"Well, Yubihama, what if, I just mean if," asked the snowy head, tilting his head gently to my side, in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "what should a leader do if he finds himself unable to handle the tremendous pressure of leadership?"

"By the same rule, be eliminated, and then, someone more suitable for leadership will be put in place - but the question is, is that leader really unable to lead?" I looked straight under the snow, "Or was she just swayed by the words of others?"

If you waver, you are not worthy of being a leader, right? A person who leads the collective must be firm, correct, and highly confident in his own judgment. ”

"It's impossible for everyone to be confident forever, but as long as you can handle this lack of confidence well before it is exposed to the flock, that's fine. ”

It's true that as a leader, I can do better than under the snow – but I'm still willing to give the snow a chance, a chance that is not so rational in terms of results, but can still be maintained. It's also continuing to fulfill my promise to Yono under the snow - if possible, I will still be careful to maintain my self-confidence under that shattered snow.

Under the snow bowed his head again. In the end, whether to choose the firm self to continue, or to use the weakness that gradually eats away at herself to paralyze herself, this choice should be made by herself.

The air fell silent again, and this time, no one seemed to be able to interrupt the silence anymore.

Sister Yui inadvertently shuddered, making everyone suddenly react.

"Well, ah, like, forgot the tea-"

"-No need, Xiaoxue, we're here to visit you anyway-"

"-I remember that your siblings have different tastes, but the makeshift black tea at home may not be as well prepared as in the club classroom-"

"-Xiaoxue, that's not what I meant. ”

"Well, let's drink tea!" he put the black tea in front of everyone with some stiffness and some pleading under the snow, and then took a sip of his own.

I have the impression that when the police interrogate prisoners, they will not let them drink water, because once they drink water, everything they want to say will be swallowed into their stomachs with the water.

I feel that today, here, I may not get an answer under the snow.

The feeling of gently sipping tea warmed up the body that had just been chilled. However, the silence remained the same—even people like Hikiya were just staring at the teacup earnestly, as if trying to figure out the lines here, rather than retorting to me, or to the snow.

Much later.

"Well, I think we should go too, there is still some homework to be done, so-ah, about homework, I don't know about the situation in Xiaoxue's class, so I can't help it-"

"-It's okay, it's okay. ”

"Well, Xiaoxue, I don't think what Xiaohe meant just now was so exaggerated, I may not be able to, but you see that Xiaohe didn't maintain the committee very well when you were away, so it means, probably-"

"Hmm. ”

My sister opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

And for a moment, I seemed to feel a brief, but meaningful, glimpse from under the snow.

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

When we went out, we met Yono under the snow again, who didn't appear when he should have appeared, but when he was not in the mood to talk to her, this person's accuracy in grasping the time was surprising and disgusting.

But, as when we first met, she didn't say much. Even, what he said was a little too normal.

"Hey, are you leaving like this? It's rare that my sister went out to buy snacks for everyone?

- It's like a real sister who cares about her sister, and of course she does seem to care about her sister, but not in that sense.

"Ah, if it's a snack, maybe it's only next time. My sister shook her head reluctantly and said.

"Well, if it's me—"

"—Small business!"

"Well, I don't need to. ”

"I mean the same thing as my sister. ”

"Ahh

If it weren't for the fact that we are all people who understand her nature, then I guess we would be moved by her words, right?

But all three were just laughing dryly and hurried away.

Yukiya Yono also realized this, she didn't stop us, but, when I passed her, she said softly: "Kazuya's little brother, Yukino-chan's situation, and our appointment, seems to be a little different!"

"Nothing different. ”

"That's good, I don't want Kazuya's little brother to disappoint me, after all, my sister has put a lot of thought into your sister, Yukino-chan, and some other people's things!"

Yui-san, under the snow, that's what I know—but, others, what does that mean exactly?

However, when I was about to turn my head to ask, Yono under the snow had already walked away.

And as if to echo the conversation she had just had with me, my phone rang soon.

It was an email from Yukino under the snow.

However, it seems that neither my sister nor Biqigu have received her email.

Carefully pull out your phone and go through the information without others noticing.

"My body is fine, I can go to school tomorrow, I've worked hard for you today-"

- Up to this point, I can understand that she made a choice, however, there is a second half of this passage:

"So, Yubihama, what do you think of your sister's last words?"

I read this passage almost with a smile, and after reading it, I understood the choice under the snow.

A very cunning dualistic view, a dualism, a cunning, vague, but unsustainable dualism.

I'm going to school – I'm going to take my own responsibility.

Sister's words - however, I am not confident in myself, can you help me when necessary?

However, dualism boils down to escapism!

Does this way you want to escape your choice? It may seem superb, but do you really like this kind of state where you need to rely on people to support you, but you have to pretend and try to move forward alone?

Moreover, Minister under the snow, how long do you really think that such self-deception can be self-paralyzed? On the basis that the correct theory of your progress has been provided by me, and if the route you are advancing is also formulated and planned with my help, then does your so-called correctness really have an ego component?

However, I don't seem to have a choice!

Because, I seem to have promised your sister that I will be responsible for your problems to the end!

So, the name of the reply email is: "Do your best." ”

If you can, in the process, build up the confidence that you have been shattered by your own hesitation and the pressure of others, little by little!

- And then I found something very embarrassing.

It seems that I forgot to bring back the scarf of Kogi Senpai.

However, looking at my sister and Bi Qigu, I still gave up the idea of going back, and if I went back to get the scarf at this time, it would be a little bit of a desire to cover up. Wait until tomorrow when the snow falls to school and let her bring it over, right?

This chapter feels good, and sure enough, taking yourself a day off in the middle is good for adjusting your thinking (laughs).
