Chapter 82: The World Is Not So Beautiful, Because ......
After traveling to a different world, what would be the first thing that ordinary people think of?
Survive? Back to the original world? Accept the status quo? Suicide again? Or maybe it's something else.
In fact, not all crossings are a good thing, because there are also people who don't want to cross, don't want to die, and once they cross, they will feel completely worthless, right?
Although Sayu is not that kind of person, he also realizes one thing......
This world is not as beautiful as imagined, whether it is yourself or the people around you, you are not as happy as you imagined, such a plot and development may be the real reality......
"Nah? Are you listening? I always feel that when you are talking to people, you are thinking about other things on your own, and I think this is quite rude and should be punished with death. β
Iya on the side said something terrifying again, and it didn't sound like a joke at all.
It's better to say that this kind of joke is usually not said with a very serious expression......
"I'm sorry, but isn't it too harsh to be punished with capital punishment or something for disobedience?"
"Is that so? I think Sayu-sensei himself is the most demanding person, but this topic has been discussed countless times. In the past, people with the slightest rebellion would be erased by society and regarded as heretical, so the development of society and technology was extremely slow. It's just that because of people's selfish intentions, the development of war has become rapid. It doesn't matter if you plunder or hurt others. It's a way for human beings to grow up. β
"It's a bit heavy, but I think it's better to live with a relaxed mind. Think about it, the school is a microcosm of society. It's a small sea in the middle of the ocean, so choosing your own way of breathing is the most important thing. β
"The way you breathe...... In this way, the reason why witches in ancient times were regarded as heretics was that they could not breathe in the [sea of society]? From the sea to the earth, so the heretics are the real humans? β
Heretics are the real human beings......
No, it's evolved humans......
What kind of person the ancient witch was, Sayou doesn't know very well. But they must have had a very important purpose in mind to become such beings.
The things that you have to achieve even if you are targeted by society are mostly love, family affection, and the like.
In this case, it is possible that those who see witches as a church without humanity are the real 'demons'.
The minority is mostly wrong. The majority is mostly right, at least in the eyes of the world.
"But the witch...... Sometimes I feel like I'm worshiping it, because I can use magic. β
"Does Miss Iya worship witches? That's a dangerous identity. Of course, it's not a modern-day magical girl. Obviously possess magic. Why was there so much persecution at that time? β
"[Witch Hunting] was during that time. The people who are given the name of "Witch" are ordinary people, not even a real witch, so it is just a force taken by humans to persecute humans. After all, if the witch is exposed and judged, most of the family's finances will be confiscated, right? In addition, there may be other possibilities. β
"What do you mean by other possibilities?"
"Sayou-sensei wouldn't have thought of it...... Magic, it means magic, if the witch can use magic. That would definitely be a fatal factor. β
"Because there is a cost to using magic?"
No, no. Iya denied while walking quickly down the stairs with Sasuke, and in front of them was the office building where the study was located.
"Ah, the denial just now is a bit too absolute, maybe the price of magic is also one of the reasons why the witch loses her advantage...... However, there is another thing to be aware of, the name "magic" can also be understood as another definition. β
"[Magic], if I had to say another definition, I saw it in a certain novel."
Sayo said, then paused for a moment.
"[Magic]: Maybe it's a spell for demons, so it can't be used on humans, right?"
"That's what it means! Mr. Sayou's knowledge is really broad, and I knew that definition not long ago. [Magic] - a spell that will only be effective against demons. β
"Well...... If that were the case, magic wouldn't be such a terrible thing for humans. β
"That's true."
Although there is a way to summon monsters to attack human dwellings using magic, neither of them has raised this issue.
Besides, the topic that Iya brought up from the beginning was not about magic or anything like that, but about left-handed and right-handers.
"Sayu-sensei is right-handed, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"No, when I went to a teacher to pick up a manuscript, I saw him writing with his left hand, and I was thinking, "If I write with my left hand, will it make the story more interesting?] Such a question. β
"Ah, why?"
"Because the left brain controls the right half of the body, right? And the right side of the brain controls the left half of the body, right? And since the right brain is the source of innovation, if you use the left hand, you will use the right brain frequently, and your creative ability will also increase, right? β
"Such reasoning? I'll give it a try another day, maybe it works......"
Sayu doesn't know if Iya's words are right, but it shouldn't matter if you try once in a while, right?
Also, if you use your left hand to work, it should look amazing.
It's just that because Sayou has always been drawing with his right hand, I don't know if I can succeed.
In addition, the manuscript is written using a laptop type, so there is no distinction between right-handed and left-handed.
"Teacher Zuoyou, in fact, this time the deputy editor-in-chief of the library wants to talk about the topic of Yan SΓΉ."
"The topic of Yan sΓΉ? Could it be that all the topics I told you before were unreliable? β
"Hmm...... Actually, it's not unreliable. The deputy editor-in-chief often talks about things in the family, such as his daughter's rebellious period and the like, which is really annoying. β
"He's your boss."
"yes. What's wrong? β
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Obviously, Yi Ye is on par with his boss on an equal footing, should it be said that it is good or bad?
"But I respect it, the deputy editor-in-chief has trained several teachers who have sold millions of copies!"
"That's pretty good."
"Hurry up, let's take the elevator up."
The two of them entered the building, and Yi Ye showed the work card in the bag to the staff and was easily released.
"It seems to be on the fifteenth floor."
"It's a matter of Yan sΓΉ."
Sayu didn't notice what Iya said, but thought about what the deputy editor-in-chief was going to say to him.
After all, the previous contact was all through guΓ² Yi night. Didn't meet directly.
The writer takes the manuscript to the editor-in-charge, who then gives it to the editor-in-chief for review, and then publishes it.
Take the elevator to the designated floor in a short time. Sayo and Iya quickly walked out of the elevator, and several editors who stayed in the elevator were startled.
Follow Yiye to the door of a room, and Yiye knocks on the door, but there is no answer.
"It looks like it's not there yet."
"After all, it's the deputy editor-in-chief."
"Then wait."
"Oh."
Two people leaned against the hallway. Quietly waiting for the arrival of the deputy editor-in-chief.
"Sayo-sensei. Mr. Sayo, do you know the Count of Saint-Germain? β
"Oh, oh, he, because he has investigated time travel and the like, so he checked the information of the Count of Saint-Germain by the way, what's wrong?"
"No, I just think that the Count of Saint-Germain is not as famous as Count Dracula and Countess Salisbury, but it is very incredible. Because his first appearance under the name Saint-Germain is recorded in 1710. The last time was in 1972, more than 200 years. It's impossible for the average person to live that long, right? β
It seems that in the hundreds of years since his death, various myths, legends, and speculations have emerged.
Some say he can play snake tricks and ventriloquism, and there are rumors that he has an affair with Madame Pompadour. Others say that he was immortal, an eternally wandering Jew, an alchemist with the elixir of immortality, a member of the Roscrucian or an expelled king, the illegitimate son of Queen Maria Anna of Spain, or that he prophesied the French Revolution.
Casanova called him the fiddler Carini, and Count Cagliostro was said to be his pupil. In addition, the name 'Saint-Germain' is not so rare, which also causes a lot of confusion.
In short, the Comte de Saint-Germain was a rather fantastic and mysterious figure.
"Then why did Mr. Sayou go to check the information on time travel, why did he search for information about the undead Count Saint-Germain?"
"Actually, maybe he's not an immortal, but another kind of human."
Sayou said
"If he is a human being in the fourth dimension, or even the fifth dimension, wouldn't he be able to jump in various time periods? In this way, a human being who does not change in the passage of time will think that he is immortal. β
"I see, there's a kind of Interstellar feeling."
"No, no, no, it's not that exaggerated."
The movie that Iya mentioned is only a little similar to the current problem, but the humans in the five-dimensional space in it are very interesting.
While the two were talking, the elevator door not far away opened, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out of it.
He beckoned when he saw the two of them, and then said to Sayou
"I've been waiting for a long time, so let's discuss whether Mr. Sayou's work "Spring Things" can continue to be serialized."
Unexpectedly, or rather expectedly, trouble has arisen!? (To be continued......)
