31 The question of Emiya Kiritsugu

"You...... It's despicable! Why say that on purpose! ”

After a long confrontation, Rin Tosaka slumped down on the tatami mat, but her eyes were still stubbornly fixed on Ji Feng's face, and she glared indignantly at this despicable guy who deliberately used the greatest malice to figure out her and Joan of Arc.

"Because it's inherently weird.

If there is a conflict of interest between people who have nothing to do with you and those who are close to you, those who feel that they are morally noble and compassionate are basically inclined to harm the interests of those close to them, and even make no distinction between right and wrong, as if the people close to them should suffer some losses for them. ”

Facing Rin Tosaka's glare, which implied mixed emotions, Ji Feng just shrugged his shoulders very indifferently, and then turned around and left the room. Behind him, Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment, then sat back with a sigh.

As a saintess who has fought in many wars, Joan of Arc knows better than Rin Tosaka. But in order to help one party, you have to ignore the other party who also needs help, and this difficult choice can be unpleasant no matter how many times you go through it.

If she could look at all this calmly like the officers of the aristocracy, and treat the sacrifice on the battlefield as a trivial number, or if she was completely numb to it like the junior officers and veterans, then she would no longer be worthy of the title of "saint".

It is precisely because it is so difficult to make a choice that I am more able to appreciate the weight of life. The Savior is not an all-powerful hero, and it is not only the desire of those who desire to be saved that weighs on his shoulders, but also the lives of those who die to save - including the lives of those who have been slain.

God loves the world.

You have heard that it was said, "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for your persecution.

If you love only those who love you, what is your reward? Even sinners love those who love them.

However, as Ji Feng said, compassion often benefits strangers and even sinners. But those close to them are often ignored and harmed. It's not that the Lord's teachings are wrong, it's that she failed to live up to the Lord's word and boasted only of loving sinners as her conspicuous good deeds!

"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds of the world, and I am the one who destroys all the evil of the world. Guardian of Libra......"

In the corridor leading to the backyard, Ji Feng, who was dressed in casual clothes, muttered to himself the two sentences in the Servant summoning spell that gave him the inspiration for the Cosplay Libra Gold Saint Seiya, then shrugged his shoulders with a self-deprecating smile, and began to slowly walk up step by step. And Yuki, who was silently following him, also adjusted his pace instantly, but he couldn't learn his casual way of walking at all.

"What do you think about good deeds?

In order to save some people, you can give up another part of the people either absolutely rationally or as a matter of course, to be honest, I am a little envious.

Although Chu Xuan is completely different from you, he can also do the same thing. I never understood his way of thinking. I don't understand your way of thinking right now.

This was originally a question I was ashamed to ask, but in order to prevent you from coming back, I decided to ask now. ”

Ji Feng and Yuki didn't go far, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who was usually almost as taciturn as Yuki, actually caught up, and frankly asked the question that had been hovering in his heart since more than ten years ago.

"Oh......"

Although Ji Feng, who looked back, was surprised, he was not particularly surprised, after all, Emiya Kiritsugu had said before that he would count "Chu Xuan's debt" on him, a person who must have some kind of relationship with Chu Xuan.

And the question that Emiya Kiritsugu has been struggling with, Ji Feng has also thought about it seriously. The talent of perceiving people's hearts may be the most important ability he inherited from Chu Xuan, with this talent and his familiarity with the "original", he has clearly seen through the reason why the man "depends" on Chu Xuan and his real reason:

"Mr. Emiya. You know exactly how we think and how we behave. Even if you haven't met us, you know the best things to convince you.

All you want is someone stronger than you -- someone who has great power and can convince you, someone who has enough weight in your heart to tell you the big things so that you can really accept them.

Otherwise. Only something that may or may never be touched, that can completely bypass your reason, and that hits the deepest part of your soul, can 'convince' you. ”

"Yes...... Is that so. ”

Listening to Ji Feng's answer, Emiya Kiritsugu's face was very pale for a while. But even if he honestly admitted Ji Feng's speculation. He still followed Ji Feng with his feet, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal, and Ji Feng continued quite solemnly after a little groaning:

"Your problem is not too arrogant, too whimsical. They want to save everyone, if not completely, at least the majority.

Your real problem is that you are too kind, and this kindness makes you feel guilty of countless murders - especially at the expense of innocent people who belong to the minority. If you can really be absolutely sane, you don't need to suffer about it at all.

Although I myself am not as kind as you, I will not persuade you to give up that kindness in order to make your life more comfortable, after all, this kindness also has a very high value in your heart, it makes you enjoy that high sense of morality while your soul is painful, and makes you feel that you are also valuable.

I just want to say that one can save anyone, everyone out of one's own good intentions, but there is no reason for anyone to take the salvation of others for granted, and it is completely unreasonable for everyone to expect the coming of the Messiah.

If people don't try their best to save themselves, but still force those who are 'capable' to save themselves, otherwise they will lack virtue, which in itself is an extremely immoral thing.

I would say that you are now being kidnapped by the morality that this group of immoral people has set in their favor...... You don't seem to want to listen, and you can't use this reason to convince yourself to regard the weak who are powerless to save themselves as worthless beings, because your goodness cannot accept the nature of this world.

This is originally something that needs to be thought of by myself, but even if I have promised to take over Chu Xuan's 'debt', then try to give you an idea-

You will be deceived by me, quit the 'rivers and lakes', marry Miss Jiuyu, and then have a few more children. By the time your children are able to form a soccer team, your knots will be gone.

Because a person's value must actually be reflected through the people around him. If there is no one around you, you can only run to show your worth with the help of people who have nothing to do with you but need to be saved. (To be continued.) )
