Susia's answer softened the girl's face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"......So, the girl who was sent to the Floating Island from the mainland and happened to be adopted by Anderson's neighbor after a period of time together caused Anderson to have an anomaly that deviated from the characteristics of the Ampertian race, so the two planned to escape to the mainland together - that's pretty much what happened, right?"

"That's right. Unfortunately, the girl died in an accident before the operation, so the target fulfilled her last wish alone. ”

Susia nodded in agreement.

"By the way, when did this happen?"

"Roughly calculated, it was about ten years ago."

"Ten years ago?" Alex remembered in her mind the nervous face of the prisoner, and the fact that the emaciated face was only twenty years old made her smack her tongue.

"Speaking of which, Miss Susia, did you join the Seed Management Council ten years ago?"

"Only, only not! Ten years ago, I was only fourteen years old, and I was still an ignorant girl...... I officially joined four years ago in the fall, and it's been less than five years now. ”

Susia was promoted to captain in her third year of employment, and her personal ability and conscientious attitude earned her a lot of fame, and for this she was appreciated by most people in the department.

"Yes." Alex nodded, "In other words, you haven't actually experienced any of these things, so you can make the situation so clear." ”

"Because after receiving the task, I went to check the information."

"So, do you know why the prisoner is what he is today?"

Hearing Alex's question, Susia hesitated slightly.

“…… Now that you know the nature of the Ampotians, I think you should have some guesses about the current situation. ”

"You mean ......"

"As a result, the 'special consciousness' awakened before the target was only an accident or an exception."

"Accidents? That is to say......"

"Targets who fled from the Floating Island to the mainland did not have the inherent characteristics of the Ampotians. Not only that, but he doesn't have any knowledge of the continent and the races on the continent like a girl, and he is completely a blank slate. Therefore, all affection for other races will depend on his first impression of the other race - and this is where the uncertainty of the Ampoti lies. ”

Alex and Ciel glanced at each other, seeing her own expression reflected in Ciel's clear eyes.

“…… In other words, the reason why he harbors hatred for humanity is because—"

Susia nodded as if agreeing with her guess.

"—because the first human he met had done too much to him."

“.…..”

"I have a problem."

Hill held up a hand again.

"What do you mean by excesses, specifically?"

Looking at Ciel's doll-like face, Susia hesitated.

"I can't tell you in detail about what it is, because you're all underage—you know, it's because of what happened to you that the target has such unspeakable hatred for humanity."

The ten-year-old child, with some kind of "special consciousness", fled to the mainland alone. In the absence of relatives, he encountered an even more unfortunate situation, and while being burned out by hatred, he realized that his "special consciousness" was only a temporary delusion......

“…… What a tragedy. ”

"There is no doubt that it is a tragedy in its truest sense." Susia closed her eyes slightly: "Abandoned the original paradise and fled to a strange continent, and because of the characteristics of the race, the hatred for a certain person spread to the entire human race...... In fact, the real culprit has been targeted a long time ago, but he is like a wooden cart standing on a steep hillside, once pushed, he cannot stop until the moment he is smashed to pieces - the source of hatred is a few people, if you only need revenge, but if the target of hatred is an entire race, you can only be trapped in the abyss from which you can never escape. ”

Susia reversed her usual style of being able and restrained, and sighed rather emotionally. After a moment she looked up at Alex and Ciel.

However, the two of them did not have to feel sorry, and death was also a relief for him. Even if we send him back to Floating Island, he probably won't be happy because of it. ”

"Huh? Why is that? Alex tilted her head in confusion.

"Even if he returns to the Floating Island, there is no guarantee that he will be able to let go of his hatred of humanity." "On top of that, his position will also become quite vague when he returns to the Floating Island...... Perhaps, they will be alienated from other people of the same clan. ”

"Why?"

"yes, why. Didn't you say before that they were a race that loved each other? You should comfort your compatriots who have suffered no matter what you think. ”

"Normally, that's how it should be. When faced with their fellow who have been hurt by illness, accidents, and all sorts of messes, the Ampanti will comfort and care for them like relatives - but the situation of the target is different. Susia smiled wryly and explained, "As I mentioned before, the Amperti are different from most races in terms of spiritual structure and ethics. In fact, their ethics and their unique spiritual construct are interrelated. That is to say, their distinctive spiritual structure has forged their ethical outlook, which is completely different from the common sense of the mainland. ”

After a pause, she continued.

Because they innate project their feelings for the whole onto each individual under the category, they take it for granted that this practice is traditional, natural, and moral. Not to mention, after the entire race migrated to the Floating Island, the atmosphere became harmonious because of the exclusion of the influence of other races, and all aspects of their society began to advance by leaps and bounds. In this context, it is understandable that they attribute their own identity to the cause of development, that racial identity is the cornerstone of social formation, and that they even have a sense of superiority over other races. ”

"In such a social atmosphere, the target's act of treating a certain existence as special, and even escaping from the floating island as a result, is not to say a betrayal - it can even be called a shake and shock to the traditions of the entire Amboti people, the four-hundred-year-old Ampertian civilization, which their ethical concepts absolutely cannot tolerate."

"Even if it's just an immature ten-year-old kid who did this?" Alex couldn't help but ask.

To the girl's question, Susia nodded lightly with an unchanged face.

"Even if that's the case, they can't tolerate it."

“…… Is it. ”

Seeing Alex fall into a depressed mood, Susia coughed and said in a concluding tone.

"That's it, anyway. This is the beginning and end of the indiscriminate attack on human beings, which was supposed to be our work, but I didn't expect it to be solved by the two of you one step ahead, thank you very much. With that, she bowed her head and saluted them, "Because considering that the two are the ones who brought the target down, I think I should tell you the truth anyway...... I'm sorry for listening to such a long amount of boring content. ”

"Whereever, there's no such thing." Alex hurriedly waved her hand, and the next second, her face showed an energetic and confident expression.

"I'm sure these foreshadowings will be recycled one day."

"......Well, Miss Alex, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Well, don't care so much." Alex said as she got up from the couch (they moved to the couch in the hall a moment after the conversation began) and looked up at the clock on the wall.

"Wow, it's been twenty minutes! Have we been talking for so long? ”

"It's hard to feel the passage of time when we're talking, but we've been talking for a long time."

"If you write it down, it's probably about five chapters long, and it's a long text."

Hill nodded and said with a clear expression.

“…… Mr. Hill, I don't understand what you're saying......"

"Hey, Ciel! Don't say that dangerous thing to me! And 'verbose' or something, it's redundant! ”

"Alex isn't either, foreshadowing or something."

Looking at the two people huddled in front of him pulling each other's cheeks, Susia was obviously a little overwhelmed.

Is this a unique way for two people to communicate their feelings? Whether it was their actions or the inexplicable words just said, Susia was confused.

...... Is this the generation gap? Young people nowadays are terrible.

As Susia thought this, a muffled sound from the top of the stairs saved her from her current situation.
