Volume 9 The Beginning of the End Chapter 20 Kotohime's Mistakes
Human feelings are such a wonderful thing, just a few days of getting along, but can remember for a lifetime.
Because the death of a companion who shared weal and woe together gave Kotohime a great blow. Suzu looked at the skeleton and said, "This monster has a strong digestion, but there are still skeletons left in her corpse, which means that the time since she was eaten is no more than an hour now." ”
An hour...... If I had been here an hour earlier, I might have been able to save her...... Kotohime's heart once again had an unnecessary sense of self-blame.
Ilona raised her hand and gently put it on Kotohime's shoulder and said, "Kotohime...... Stop beating yourself up...... These are not your responsibilities. ”
Ilona was really scared, afraid that Kotohime would take it all as her fault, obviously Kotohime had done nothing wrong, and it was obviously Fiya and Zete who caused all this to happen.
And unexpectedly, Kotohime was stunned for a moment - laughed. Qin Ji smiled helplessly and said, "This is also no way...... There is no way for those who have died to be resurrected, and ...... In a world like this, she's worked hard to survive alone for so long......"
Jean-hime knew she couldn't cry, she had to laugh, and she had to smile in front of her, even if she was just a skeleton now.
With a wave of her hand, the skeleton melted into a cloud of white powder in the snow and blood.
Suzu glanced at the fainting old man next to him and said, "Let's go, if you continue to stay, he will soon wake up." ”
Qin Ji hesitated for a moment, and she said to Suzu, "Sister Suzu...... I don't want to go to Zete right now...... You and Ilona go and I'll just wait here......"
Ilona wanted to open her mouth to ask Kotohime why, but Suzu retorted, "No, Suzu's mission is to protect you and not her, Suzu will go wherever you go, and that's what the master told Suzu." ”
How could that guy say so much unconsciously? Obviously, Qin Ji remembered not hearing Gu Shuo say this.
Ilona hurriedly stated: "I will go wherever Genki goes, and I won't go if you don't go to Zet." ”
But if you don't go to Zet and Fiya, there is no way to solve the disaster of this world, Kotohime looked at Suzu worriedly, wouldn't she have any ideas?
Suzu still said with an indifferent face: "You can do whatever you want, Suzu is just a bodyguard." It doesn't matter what the world has become of Suzu, Suzu just needs to make sure you don't get killed. ”
Ilona worried, "Jean-hime, are you sure you don't want to go now, if something happens after waiting for a long time......
Kotohime looked tired and said, "At least I don't want to go now...... I want to take a break...... I'm afraid I'll lose control of myself if I go to see them now......"
Kotohime was afraid that she would be desperate to slaughter Fiya and Zete after seeing them, even though she knew she didn't have that ability, but that's what Kotohime thought.
......
That night, Kotohime and the others found a random room to rest. Kotohime inadvertently asks Elona about what happened after she left in 2179, but Elona doesn't seem to want to talk about what happened after that. Even though Kotohime knew from what Ilona said during the day, after that the robots sacrificed themselves to avoid the Earth from being hit by a comet.
There was no way to know what was going on, and Zet didn't want to talk about it before, and now Elona didn't want to talk about it, so Jean gave up asking about what happened after that.
With no electricity, Ilona found a pile of wood to fuel the room and lit an indoor bonfire.
Suzu is lying next to the fire in a human posture, and it seems that she is still a cat after all, and cats still like warm places.
Kotohime had already fallen asleep, and what had happened today had hit her too hard, and she felt that she would only be more upset if she continued to stay awake, so she fell asleep early after the sun had just set.
Ilona stared blankly at the campfire, what was she thinking? Ilona didn't know what she was thinking, she just felt that she needed to do something, something for Kotohime.
But Ilona can't do anything, obviously when I first met Kotohime before, Ilona was so powerful, so omnipotent. But now, Ilona feels like she has become the kind of boss in the early stage, the middle power counting unit, and the late cannon fodder in the battle power expansion work. Even though Ilona knew that no monster would be able to beat her if she wasn't affected by the magnetic field, it was a shame that it was only if.
Ilona sighed, let's sleep...... When she gets up tomorrow, Kotohime will be in a better mood and take Suzu with her to rescue Zet, solve all the things in this world, and then leave this world.
Ilona had just laid down to sleep, but she saw Suzu staring at her, and the pupils of those feline eyes were shining in the firelight.
Ilona wondered, "What's wrong? Is there something strange on my face?"
Suzu smiled lightly and said, "You are confused and troubled. ”
"Do you see that? But I don't even know what I'm bothered with...... I just feel a little uncomfortable. ”
"Why bother?" Suzu turned over on all fours, making cat movements in a human posture, which looked really weird, "You're not an ordinary human, you're a robot, you're the daughter of Shuyue." You have an infinite lifespan for you, and if you have to worry about everything in your infinite lifespan, then you need to prepare some anti-hair loss shampoos. ”
Ilona smiled bitterly, "It's easy to say, there are some things that don't pass if I don't want to bother...... And don't you understand what I've just said? I don't even know what I'm bothering myself with......."
"Isn't this the end?" Suzu crawled to Ilona and stretched out her paw to caress Ilona's face, so comfortable...... Are the cat's paws so soft? The pads on the paws made Ilona feel, "If you don't know what you're bothering about, why bother? Suzu has spent countless hours with her owner, and has never bothered her life." Because Suzu is a cat, every day you just need to think about how to be spoiled to the owner today. ”
"Then you're really laid-back. Elona said, "If only I could be like you and think about how to be spoiled by the person you like every day...... How nice that would be. ”
"Isn't that possible?" Suzu smiled at Ilona, for some reason Suzu's smile had an inexplicable affinity in it, "Don't think so much, you're just a robot......"
Robot...... I'm just a robot......
......
Kotohime looked around, it seemed to be in a carriage. No, it was indeed a carriage, and the person sitting in the carriage was Elona, and the other person who looked exactly like Elona must be Celia.
Was this a dream, what had happened when she and Zet were traveling together?
Outside the carriage, Zet was driving the cart, and on either side of Zete sat two people, one was Fiya and the other was Jean herself, who was twelve years old.
The frustration and dissatisfaction on Fiya's face could be clearly seen from this place, and Zet was answering Kotohime's words without saying a word.
Looking at the three people outside the carriage, Kotohime knew why she had this dream. It was only suddenly, Jean remembered that she had agreed to a request from Gray Berry Starr, and that what Gray Fruit Star had said to herself at that time seemed to be "Prevent all the intimacy between Fia and Zete that you can see." ”
Jean asked Gray Li Starr why, and Gray Li Starr replied, "Because if you don't do this, you won't be able to make that desire swell, and the fun things won't happen in the future." ”
Jean remembered that at that time, in order to prevent Gray Li Starr from destroying their world, she chose to agree to Gray Li Starr's request......
Only then did Kotohime realize that the reason why Fiya became like this may be her own fault......
If Jean hadn't agreed to Grey Lee Starr at that time, their world would have been destroyed by Grey Grey Starr, but it was because Jean had agreed to Grey Grey Starr...... It's your fault......
Fiya is just a girl who longs for love, obviously just wants to be intimate with the person she likes, but has been blocked countless times, as if there is a big river called "fate" between the two of them forever.
"It's all your fault......" Fiya said abruptly back to Kotohime.
Kotohime was startled, why did Fiya in her dream talk to herself, isn't this a dream?
"It's all your fault...... said Elona and Celia beside Kotohime as they both looked up at her.
Kotohime took a step back, and she panicked, "It's not me...... It's not my fault! I just want to protect our world!"
"It's all your fault......" Even the twelve-year-old Kotohime turned back and said to Kotohime herself.
"It wasn't me! It was all Gray Berry Starr's plan! I didn't mean to!" Jean explained to herself, but they didn't want to listen to it, and continued to repeat the sentence.
"It's all your fault...... It's all your fault...... It's all your fault......" The phrase keeps ringing in Kotohime's ears, as if there is a guy who likes to play dirt hi songs and puts a whole circle of subwoofers around him, and the infinite single loops a song "We are different".
This is a dream, it's just a dream, and there is no way to leave it if you don't wake up......
At this moment, Zete, who had been driving the horse, suddenly turned around, and he looked at Kohime without saying anything.
"Zet......" Jean-hime feels like her head is about to explode, and she wants to ask Zet for help.
Zete and Jean-hime looked at each other for a long time before he spoke, "Chinhime...... It's all your fault......"
"!" Kotohime suddenly opened her eyes, her breathing was very short, as if she had just stolen the blue buff on the opposite side and was chased by three people on the opposite side and ran the entire map.
Kohime looked around, Ilona was still sleeping, the bonfire on the ground had not burned out, and the sky outside had already lit up, although the sun was not visible in this weather.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Suzu asked, leaning on her stomach, "Look at your expression, you had a terrible nightmare, right?"
Kotohime nodded silently, "I...... I seem to have done something wrong...... I now realize that it's all my fault that the world is the way it is...... I killed so many innocent people in this world......"
Suzu laughed, "Yes, but you just kept shouting 'it's not my fault' in your dreams." ”
Jean Ji paused, and she said, "But I just woke up and understood...... It was indeed my fault, if I hadn't done it to Fiya in the first place...... Fiya won't ......."
"What a fool. The bell shook her tail, and the bell tied to her tail made a "ding" sound. For some reason, after hearing the sound, Kotohime felt that her originally heavy heart suddenly became less sad, as if the shackles in her heart had been opened, "You did those things without knowing it, and the reason why you did those things in the first place was to save your world." After all, you're just a prop that has been used, and if a person kills someone with a gun, is it the gun or the person who is guilty of the gun?"
Guilty...... Is it a gun or a person with a gun? Is Kotohime a gun or a person with a gun? She was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"It's over, the kid is hopeless. Suzu yawned, thinking to herself, how could this kid not be able to turn his head at such a time?
"Guilty...... It's a gun......" Kotohime suddenly said to Suzu, Suzu really didn't expect Kotohime to think so, what kind of idea did she have to think that a gun is guilty?
Suzu was about to speak, but Kotohime didn't give Suzu a chance to speak and continued, "Isn't it?A gun is a murder weapon after all, and its purpose is to kill other lives, and it can't change that for any reason, right?"
The two pistols on Ilona's body trembled, they didn't agree with what Kotohime said, but they couldn't contradict hime.
"It's because of guns that people who use guns have the idea of killing people with guns, isn't it? If there are no guns, people who don't have weapons will naturally not want to kill another person, so isn't it the guns that are guilty?"
Seeing that Kotohime became a little abnormal, Suzu shook the bell on her tail again, and Kotohime calmed down a little.
Suzu said to Kotohime, "Even if he doesn't have a gun, that person will kill someone with something else, a knife, a sword, a stick, or anything like that, as long as he wants to kill someone - even with a frying pan, even with his bare hands." ”
The reason Suzu said was very simple, but Kotohime just now didn't think of this at all. Her heart doesn't allow her to think about this, she just wants to blame the fault on herself, and the overly guilty Kotohime feels that everything is her fault. It's like taking those unnecessary responsibilities on yourself because you can't save people.
Ilona listened quietly to the conversation between the two of them, and although she had woken up, Ilona didn't plan to get up. She just listened quietly to the conversation between Kotohime and Suzu, what happened in the four years that Kotohime had returned to the world over there that had made Kotohime's state of mind change so dramatically?
"Kotohime, you're not wrong. Ilona also said it before - don't be presumptuous and put all the responsibilities that shouldn't belong on your shoulders. You are not omnipotent, and you are not capable of taking on so many faults. Suzu shook the bell on her tail as she spoke, and the bell seemed to have some special ability to calm Kotohime's impetuous heart.
"But...... But if I hadn't promised Grey Shiner to do those things, I wouldn't have had the disaster I have now...... This is all because of me......" Kotohime still can't let go, she has seen so many people killed by monsters, all of them are the causes she planted in the first place, and Kotohime also blames Zet and Fiya for it, and the final result is herself......
Suzu laughed, she rolled on the ground laughing while holding her stomach, and Kotohime was a little angry and said, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about that? Did I say something wrong?"
Suzu wiped away the tears that had come out of her tears because she was laughing too hard, and she explained, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because it's the first time Suzu has seen someone like you who thinks too highly of herself...... Do you really think that all these disasters were caused by you? You really think too highly of yourself - the disasters of this world are the ones that Her Royal Highness wants to trigger, so all this happening is inevitable. Even if Her Royal Highness doesn't take advantage of you, she will take advantage of others. But in order to give this world a chance to recover after a disaster, the master chose you and Zete. Her Royal Highness chose you under the guidance of her master, so you should rejoice - if it weren't for you, this world would have been destroyed. ”
Even if it weren't for Kotohime, there would be an inevitable disaster in this world. But it is precisely because of Kotohime that there is still room for redemption from the disasters of this world. Kotohime isn't right, but Kotohime isn't wrong either.
Kotohime hadn't reacted to what Suzu had said, and her head was a little sluggish right now.
Elona, who had been listening to Kotohime and Suzu talking, then turned around and said to Kotohime: "Kotohime, what are you still thinking? Even if the disaster in this world is caused by you, what will happen? What has happened cannot be changed, and there are only two things you can do now, one is to just wait and watch those monsters continue to kill the few remaining humans on the earth." The second is to find Zete and rescue him now, and then beat Fiya up! Although I said that everything you did was right, and I would support you, it doesn't mean that I don't have my own opinions-I will definitely beat Fiya up, otherwise I will panic!"
