Chapter 10: The Righteous and the Wicked
Something missed gets again, on the grounds?
Matching points (interrogators of the king's place)
On the east side of the imperial capital, there is a peaceful shopping street, where shopkeepers place signboards indicating the contents of goods at the door, and the cries and shouts come and go.
This is a rare leisure time and peaceful time in the dark and lurking imperial capital.
At the end of the shopping street, at the corner of the avenue and the royal city, at the entrance of the house called "Hewlett Maruko Shop", there are two people sitting.
There is a certain distance between them, and in the middle are two steaming plates of meatballs, the luster of the sauce making the meatballs look quite delicious.
On the right side of the chair, for the two of them, it was the young man on the left, and Hiiragi was also the first to speak
"Please also mourn the murder of Mr. Okka."
"Master Oka is a nice person, although training is always difficult and tiring, but it was the happiest time for me! I didn't expect to be ......!!! by the damn guys at NightRaid ”
Gritting his teeth, Seleu crushed the balls in his mouth as if he were chewing on the flesh of his enemies.
"Sorry...... It's no avail to be angry all the time here, I'm going to execute everyone at NightRaid! Because only they can kill the powerful Oka Master, and it is rumored that those evil guys have carried out many assassination operations before, and they are simply the evil of the imperial capital! Cancer! ”
Declaring war on the NightRaid loudly, Sai Leu saw the white animal under his feet, that is, the puppy-like bio-type imperial tool [Little Ratio Hundred-Handed Giant].
Picking up steaming balls from the plate, he took a bite of one and handed the remaining three to Kobi
"Let's eat, it tastes good."
Xiaobi circled around Sailiu a few times, opened his mouth, and then instantly expanded, swallowing three balls into his stomach in one gulp.
The sharp teeth and fierce form were undoubtedly exposed, making Hiiragi on the side stop what he was doing.
"I'm sorry, I scared you just now, do you have any questions? South. ”
I just introduced myself briefly, so both of them are now called by their first names.
However, for Sai Leu, Hiiragi's words are all incomprehensible to ordinary citizens, and in fact, most of them are lies made up by Hiiragi.
"Actually, it's not a problem, I just want to know what Seleuc thinks, because I occasionally get confused by these things."
"No problem! It is the duty of our imperial capital garrison to help the people, and I will tell you as long as I can answer. ”
Seliu finally smiled, and Xiaobi changed back to his previous appearance, obediently jumped onto Seleuc's lap, and rested quietly.
Touching the back of Kobi with his hand, Seliu tilted his head to look at Hiiragi, and his expression said, "What the hell is it?" 'means.
After eating the balls in his hand, Hiiragi also glanced at the two remaining strings of balls on the plate, exhaled, and asked
"What is justice to you, Seleus? Is it justice to kill someone who hurts others? No, in other words, what kind of evil should be included in the list of sanctions? ”
Justice, in the face of this topic, Seleuc showed a very interested expression.
Indeed, Seleuc is actually a strong young girl, her parents are dead, her master is killed, and she can also stick to her beliefs, who can do it easily?
"To put it simply, you want to understand the definition of good and evil, right? Master Oka used to say that the strong is justice, and I have carried out this belief to the present. But now I understand that justice is definitely not such a simple thing, and in my opinion, the person who destroys the daily life of the imperial capital is evil. ”
"The people who destroy the daily life of the imperial capital, are they ......?"
"Yes, the NightRaid group kills people at will, and they want to be sanctioned; Robbers who commit crimes in the suburbs are punished; There are guys who steal things and want to be punished; If you don't pay for buying things, you have to sanction them; Selling fakes, sanctions. ”
Wouldn't that be a case for many people to commit a certain degree of sin? Do those people also need to be sanctioned? ”
"No, no, I'm not such a blind guy, but even if it is an occasional thing that happens in the imperial capital like buying things without paying for money, if I see it, that person must accept sanctions! In the case, just break his hands. ”
It was a rather sunny smile, and Seleuc was quite satisfied with his answer.
Distorted - something distorted, not just the 'concept of justice', but also the judgment of evil.
Seleuc was broken, but even so, she still carried on to her beliefs and insisted on the righteousness in her heart.
So, is the existence of the girl Seleuc really evil?
No, it is impossible to define it so simply, after all, everyone insists on something different, what is the difference between good and evil?
"Minami, can we exchange balls? Yours is one with syrup, right? I have a delicious chili pepper. ”
"Absolutely...... Also, in my opinion, there is no difference between good and evil. ”
"What did you say?"
His tone changed slightly, and Sairu raised his head when he put his balls on Hiiragiya's plate, and then took the balls from Hiiragiya's plate.
"What do you mean? What does justice mean to be evil? So what is the meaning of my actions? Are you denying it?! ”
"No, Seleuc."
Hiiragi also picked up the balls, which were Seleuc's, with red peppers on top and an enticing fragrance.
"I'm not denying Oh Seleuc, if you think about it, the definition of justice will definitely be different in the eyes of different people, right? As you said earlier, you and Mr. Oka have a slightly different view of justice. ”
After a pause, Hiiragi continued
"Justice depends on who the other person is and what they do, but in turn, the other party will judge you whether you are good or bad according to who you are and what you do."
"Specifically?"
Isn't that the obvious answer? Good and bad always depend on the other party, to put it bluntly, the righteous person may be evil, and the evil person may be righteous. ”
"Sure enough, you're denying me, aren't you?"
"Nope."
Hiiragi shook his head again.
"What you did was right, but Seleuc, what others did could be right, and when there is a conflict between you, there is no doubt that the loser will become evil, right?"
"I don't know much about these complex issues, but that's right."
So that's it.
As usual, Hiiragi also ate all the balls, and when he stood up, he touched the little one on Sairu's leg with his hand, and the latter looked like he was enjoying it, and he didn't seem to hate Hiiragi very much.
"Seleuc, don't keep immersing yourself in your own 'justice', there are many things you can do."
With a puzzled expression, Sai Leu frowned and ate the balls.
"I'll go first."
Hiiragi also waved his hand, got up from his position, and walked in the direction of the royal city.
He had to investigate, and he could also tell the minister about Zonk, so there was no need to go around and gather information.
The reason why he came into contact with Seleuc was simply to try to change the girl.
But her life won't change because of Hiiragi's words.
"It's unfortunate."
Not just yourself, it's the world.
