Chapter 51: "Ideal Township"
There should be an obvious reason in the equation for deriving this strange answer, no, there must be, but what is it...... I have to ask about it, I have to find it, even if it takes me a lifetime, I have to understand. β
After laughing maniacally enough, the smile remained on his sad face like the residue of the previous wild laughter, maybe he will always maintain this expression in the future, only accept the truth of himself and the world, and can face everything calmly with a calm smile.
Facing Yan Feng Qili's refreshing appearance, Gilgamesh nodded.
"You're really sick of it...... Well, I, Gilgamesh, will see how you carry out your fearless faith. β
Qili looked around again, savoring the stunning scenery that the Holy Grail had brought him.
The amount of black dirt that ignited the entire neighborhood should not be enough compared to the amount left in the Great Grail, and what kind of hell will it look like when all the dirt is released?
Yes - its existence is the same as Qili's, it is a thing that violates ethics, and now that I think about it, when I saw that illusion, Qili had an expectation in my heart.
If such a "thing" is actually born and proves its existence, it may be possible to deduce other explanations that have nothing to do with ethics and morality.
"All the evil in the worldβ"
Thinking a little impatiently, Qili spat out the name.
It must be found again, it must be witnessed again, its birth, and the value of its existence.
- Suddenly, Qili noticed a figure appear from the other side of the dancing tongue of fire.
His hot-studded trench coat was torn in several places and covered in black stains, and the man walked unsteadily, wandering the burning streets, like a sleepwalker.
He is Kiritsugu Emiya, and although it is not clear what happened, it seems that as it is, he lost Saber and survived the fire.
What did not match his undomineering footsteps was the terrifying momentum when he looked around, like a wailing undead wandering in a scorching hell, it was obvious that he was looking for something, and he was not even afraid to die in the fire in order to find it.
Did he find out that he hadn't been able to kill Qili, so he chased after him-
Just as he was thinking this, their eyes intertwined, and Qili accepted his empty gaze without flinching.
"Then let's fightβ"
Although the injuries on his right hand and left leg were still the same, Qili didn't think he would lose at the moment, he recalled once again the unwillingness to divide the victory in the previous battle, and he would not give up if he didn't give up.
But things didn't turn out as Kiri expected, as if in Kiritsugu's eyes, Kiri seemed to be transparent, and he looked away as if nothing had happened, and left aimlessly.
ββ¦β¦β
Full of fighting spirit, he was poured a basin of cold water, and when he came back to his senses, Qili found that there was an indescribable depression in his heart.
"Huh? What's wrong Qili. β
It seems that Gilgamesh didn't notice the figure of Kiritsugu before, and Qili shook his head silently, which was an answer to the Hero King.
Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was obviously very strange, his once sharp gaze was gone, his eyes just now were as dull as empty caves, his absent-minded appearance must not even be able to recognize what was close in front of him, so maybe he didn't notice Kiri staring at him at all.
The man had become a walking corpse, and he was no longer worth treating him as an enemy.
Kiritsugu, who incurs disaster in order to save others, is a real loser, and he must be looking for a survivor who can give him some comfort.
It's just stupid.
With his current state, he will soon disappear in this sea of fire, and there is no need to think about it anymore, this person no longer means anything to himself.
- Qili explained to himself in his heart, and at the same time, he put aside the anguish in his heart.
Even if it really becomes a walking corpse, even if it's just a wreckage.
Even so, the fact that that Emiya Kiritsugu actually ignored Yan Feng Qili and left on his own brought him a great sense of humiliation.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Hahahahaha-"
Above the ruined earth, a black shadow floating high in the air let out an almost earth-shattering laugh, but, strangely, none of the few surviving people below heard his voice.
I don't know how long I laughed, but Naraku finally stopped, covered her lower abdomen that hurt from laughter, and looked at this hellish scene, and let out a merciless mockery.
"So didn't I say it a long time ago? Do you think you are a saint warrior, the will cannot become power, especially in this world, if you want to shoot beyond your own limit, you will get nothing but destruction. β
I don't care that I am in a staggered posture now, anyway, it is in the air, no matter what posture it is, it will not affect his situation, Zig has been sent into the [passage] by Naraku first, this kind of scene is harmful to her.
"Why are there so many stupid guys in this world, the carrier of the so-called [evil in this world], isn't it also made by human beings, if you want the whole world to be happy, don't let me laugh off my big teeth, this kind of thing won't exist even in a fantasy world, understand, Emiya Kiritsugu." He didn't intend to let the other party hear it, Naraku was just muttering to himself, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if it exists, if the [Closed World] counts, then what's the point of having a human existence without a goal?" β
Once Naraku went to a world, and it was a place called "Hakoiwa", and in the western area of Hakoniwa, it was a complete ideal town (utopia).
A certain scholar succinctly described the definition of the ideal township.
[It is a place where all human beings in the nation receive an equal income, build a family without distinction, and spend each day in peace with a small heart of faith in their hearts. γ
If that is the definition of an ideal township, then the West District is indeed an ideal township that is rightly named.
In their city, sparkling gems and grey stones are regarded as equally valuable.
They who practice material equalization have no so-called prices from birth, and there is no so-called rarity in the land where they provide all the goods they expect, and therefore they cannot cultivate so-called uniqueness.
There is no point in fighting for them, so there are no losers and no winners, and they who have unconsciously realized an equal society do not have the concept of a competitive society.
Therefore, they are happy.
Objectively speaking, there may be a few inconveniences.
Hakoniwa's canopy is often shrouded in clouds, and the thousands of meters of border walls that surround the city resist all intrusions and hinder the flow of talent.
The unusually small gate is set on top of a sky-high and boastful realm wall, and the path to the gate is even more difficult than the practice of Acharya, which is a complete birdcage worthy of the name of Hakoiwa.
They are happy, though.
On the other hand, it is helpless that the West End will be criticized as a "closed world (dystopia)".
There is no struggle, no difference, no plague, and they may not even know what misfortune is, and they spend every second of every day, every month, every year.
So they are happy.
That's all I can say.
If there is no misfortune, there is only happiness.
Born in such a place, they are no exception, and they live their days without suspicion, and they are willing to accept happiness, and it is completely impossible for them to understand the so-called enthusiasm for the maximum satisfaction of human beings.
Naraku had lived there for a while, but within a few days, he couldn't stand that puppet-like life, and for him who pursued combat and passion, that kind of world was the kind he hated the most.
Although he also likes to live with Naye and the others, it is a completely different thing from this one, and the life of being able to feel the warmth of life and not knowing anything, just blindly, numbly living like a marionette are two completely different meanings.
They do not know the hypocrisy of a competitive society, so they do not suspect the truth, let alone speculate on the truth of others' words.
This shows that they are domestic animals that can't even think.
Clothing is given, houses are given, and food is given regularly.
Give up thinking, alive meat bag.
What they produce (give) is faith.
Ideological education, knowledge that deviates from the right path, and the improvement of the breed of human species.
"The brainwashing is thorough enough."
At that time, Naraku lived there for two days, and he came to such a conclusion, and then, after a few fierce fights over there, he left there, well, by the way, he also made a few like-minded "friends", but the definition of this friend is up for debate.
But......
Without overwhelming self-love, there can be no ultimate fraternity.
"Therefore, the so-called ideal township does not exist in reality!" A clear dark green light appeared on his body, and the space behind him began to distort, "Tsk, I didn't expect me to be so good at nonsense, just go to be a philosopher, really, I would waste my time for a bunch of idiots, but I finally got something good." β
Looking at the calamity below, the space behind Naraku was distorted to the extreme, and then, the passage to the other world finally opened, leaving this world without hesitation.
There were those who were saved, there were those who were destroyed, and at the end of the absence of any victors, quietly, the Fourth Holy Grail War, was over.
