She didn't give me guidance, she didn't teach me, and she didn't become a mentor in my life.

She just made me understand that this world, no matter how bad it is, has other possibilities.

In any case, there is no dead end ahead of us, the possibility of existence, the probability of success is very low, but absolutely, it is not the same as zero.

"There's nothing more terrible than giving up on yourself, President, and do you remember how we founded Baratheon? What did we have at the time? We didn't have an army, we didn't have money, we didn't have anything, but we survived."

"Baratheon... It's just luck."

"Luck is also a part of strength, and it is also a very important strength, President, you have no way to deny everything about your past, just as I can't deny my mistakes."

"I never intended to deny myself, I existed and existed here, and I didn't want to accept this false reality, but there was no way, I didn't have a better life."

I felt the desperation that overflowed.

This is a forced choice to accept, and it is precisely because there is no choice that House is so desperate.

And all I could do was hold her hard.

"Yes, President, believe me, we will have a better future, and I will always be with you, always."

"Our world, the real world, the peace system tells me that 60% of the people have chosen to go to that world, and there are only 40% of the people left in the whole country, and this 40% of the people, do you think they will keep to themselves?"

"Then it's the second red dawn, if we can survive the first time, then we can survive the second time, as long as it's not 100%, then we still have a future."

"In the future, what I can see is that the country full of wars, the homeland that has been rebuilt with great difficulty, will once again become ruins, we cannot be stopped, we cannot be controlled, we will inevitably slowly move towards destruction, rather than such a painful continuation, it is better to end here."

"President, everything will be fine, there will be, those who hate war and take the initiative to stand up - President, if you really hate that, we can build a country, a country where everyone can live in peace."

I said something unrealistic, and no one would agree with such a statement.

Stupid, unreachable, stupid words without a plan.

But that's who I am, and that's the possibility that House would agree with.

That's something that no one can achieve, possibility.

"If those people can't solve it, then I'll solve it, wouldn't that be fine?"

——

On the rooftop of the academy, I looked at the gray sky.

"Blue—does it really exist?"

Blue sky, a machine that gallops across the sky.

It was a fairy tale that I had believed in since I was a child, and after believing in it for so many years, did I start to doubt it?

Doubting your own heart?

——

"Yang Yongxin, I found you."

——

With the sound of the door opening, two people rushed in from outside the door and pointed their guns at me.

Did these two people, like me, reject the persuasion of the peace system?

This is a matter of course, and for these two men, hatred and responsibility are all they have.

"It's surprising that so much tragedy has happened to you two that you have given up the possibility of healing?"

「...」

There was no reply, and both of them pulled the trigger on their fingers.

In order to keep them from shooting, I also unfastened my clothes almost instantly.

It was a timer taped to the heart.

"Calm down, even though there are two nuclear bombs under the control of the Peace System, I have a third nuclear bomb, and if I die, this nuclear bomb will be detonated."

"The third nuclear bomb? It's impossible!"

"What do you think is the reason why the peace system protects me so much? Why did it suddenly launch the Tesla program? If you don't know, then we'll tell you, I'll use nuclear bombs to force the peace system and start the Tesla program in advance, which is a reasonable choice."

「...」

"Come on, put down your gun, and let's talk."

"We don't kill you, but we want to—"

"Don't say this kind of thing, we are not a bad party, one of you is a religious leader, the other is a heroic general, no one here will do such a thing except me, so don't say this kind of thing."

「...」

"I thought you two were going to fight outside the door, you two, how can you get along well?"

These two people should have been enemies of life and death, one killed his parents, and the other killed his wife and daughter, these two should have been born of an endless chain of hatred.

But these two people have already let go of their hatred, and although there will still be an urge to kill each other, their impulses have been completely suppressed by reason.

It also means that hatred is watered down, chained, and stopped.

"Come on, sit down, there are thirty minutes to go, this bomb will fall off, and before that, if you two can talk to me properly, I won't detonate the nuclear bomb, how about this deal?"

「...」

「...」

On the roof of the school, a wonderful scenery appeared.

Two pistols and three people, separated by a large distance from each other.

"No one speaks, so let me ask you why you both gave up the opportunity to go to the New World?"

My gaze turned to the religious leader Lin Han.

He pushed the pistol forward a little.

"Tesla's post-Tesla world, you can also imagine, I'm different from you, I have people who have to be protected, so I stayed."

"Did you give up your most comfortable life for the sake of protection? It's incredible."

For protection, although stupid, but worthy of respect, as for what he wants to protect, it must be Seven.

No. 7 also met a good person, which can be regarded as a blessing in her misfortune.

I turned my gaze to the heroic general Ogihito.

"What about you, General Ogi?"

"I deserve to die, but I'm not dead yet, so, I won't take the initiative to choose death, and I still have a lot of people who haven't let go, if I don't let go of these, then I will definitely not allow it, and my reality will end like this."

"Damn it, but didn't you die? I know you are suffering for your actions, but everything has a cause and an effect, and it is better to accept the reality than to dwell on the cause and effect."

"I will never accept such a reality!"

"What if you don't accept it? What can you do?"

"I don't know, I know I'm sorry for a lot of people, but I don't want it to end like this, whether it's pain or despair, it's all my sin, and I have to end it myself."

"Is it the end and not the repayment? What if I said that everything that happened to you was a test given to you by the gods?"
