Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Action (I)
It's more rapid than expected.,Thanks to this, Hiiragi also understands that the plot is still similar to the original to a certain extent.,There was no accident like a large-scale departure from the original plot.,So the existing information is still somewhat useful......
It's just that Hiiragi is also a little worried, and now he is in a bit of an awkward situation, and once he reveals his actions, he will definitely become the enemy of most characters.
Failing to report truthfully to the minister and killing Estes's men can also be seen as antagonistic to NightRaid.
The reason why Hiiragiya can now maintain the status of a 'neutral' is because Hiiragiya tries to keep his true face from being seen every time he acts.
As the saying goes, a strong enemy is not terrible, but the enemy who is terrible is the enemy who is in the way, which also reflects the importance of traps and stratagems from the side.
Hiiragi once said that traps and clouds are all clouds in the face of powerful forces, but who has the power to ignore everything?
Even the brave will be killed by the trap of villager A, who likes thighs, let alone ordinary people......
Back to the present, Hiiragi, who was standing at the door, also saw Estes and Black Hitomi enter, and after thinking about it, he couldn't refuse until now, so he had to follow them and choose a place to sit down.
Next to Will is the black pupil, and next to Will is Porus with the brewed tea.
All the members of the Jaegers gathered here, and Seleuc pushed the fruit on the table in front of Hiiragi.
"You can taste this, it's unexpectedly sweet, I heard that it's a fruit grown by a foreign nation, but it's rare now."
"I will, what are you gathered here for?"
In addition to the seven people of Estes, Black Hitomi, Will, Seleuc, Porus, Lan, and Dr. Fashion, there is no doubt that this is all the members of Jaegers.
"The security in the imperial capital is getting worse and worse, and the killer organization called NightRaid is also very rampant, so I guess General Estes summoned us here for this, right?"
It was Ran, who was standing on the side, who spoke, and he looked at Hiiragi when he closed the book
"But I'm surprised by your appearance, it doesn't seem like a character who can appear on the front line, but the feeling of commanding in the rear."
"I hope so...... Unfortunately, no one wants to be my subordinate. ”
"That's a pity, but you can also experience some fun on the front line."
After Lan finished speaking, Porus, who was carrying the tea, put the tea in front of everyone.
Holding the iron plate in both hands, he made an inviting gesture
"Everyone, please use it, the freshly brewed tea is the best!"
Tall, masked, and utterly eccentric in appearance, Porus stunned Will for a moment.
"Really, I'm really bothering you......"
Will stammered a little, looked at the black pupils eating snacks next to him, and must have thought that this was a complete weirdo group......
Since Hiiragi also looked like an ordinary person, Will couldn't help but move the bench to Hiiragi's side.
"It's a disappointment, Lord Estes, what the hell are we supposed to do?"
"This ......"
In response to Dr. Fashion's question, Estes walked to the middle of the room, on the side of the conference table near the window.
With her back to the sun, there was a shadow on her face, but there was no haze on her expression.
Glancing at the crowd, Estes propped his hands on the table and spoke
"I will call you here for one thing, and that is to eliminate all the evils in the imperial capital."
Of course, she didn't let anyone interrupt herself, and even the eager Seleuc quieted down.
"This is only a one-sided statement, it is useless to say this here, I hope to be able to form a team of you to join my command, in order to destroy all the enemies."
"It's justice, right? Punish the evildoers, Seleuc, I'm very good at it! ”
"Well, do you have anything to say? No, I think I should start by introducing myself. ”
So, after a short self-introduction, Hiiragi slowly raised his right hand, and Estes signaled with his eyes that he could speak.
"Judging by the current situation, I'm going to join your team too?"
"What are you talking about, isn't that something to be taken for granted? Suppose you capture the enemy alive in the future, and you are their chief torture officer, don't you like this profession very much? ”
"No, no, I never said that I like the profession of torturer, I don't know that knowledge very well."
"Even if it's not clear, a plant that can make the enemy feel ten times the pain is enough for you, Nan, your torture skills will get better and better."
I don't know what Estes is talking about, is my duty among the Jaegers to torture? It's also weird.
Hearing this conversation, Will subconsciously distanced himself from Hiiragi, and now he felt that the black pupil was the most reliable one.
"Excuse me, my dear, you forgot to bring your lunch!"
Suddenly, the beautiful woman who appeared at the door bowed her head and shouted hello, and Porus quickly ran over and took the lunch box that the other party gave him.
The long blonde hair looked quite beautiful, and the little girl who followed her grabbed her mother's skirt with some fear.
What's going on?
Will looked at Porus, who suddenly shone like the sun, and Porus, who felt everyone's gaze, scratched his head and picked up the little girl who was afraid of life.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, they're my wife and daughter, please give me more advice in the future!"
"Alas?!!! Mr. Porus, are you married? ”
"Yes, I'm not an outstanding person, but I'm really lucky to be able to marry her."
"It's all said, don't say that."
Porus's wife said so, and the little girl he picked up gently patted Porus on the shoulder with her hand.
This is his family, and the family that will be killed by Sheila in the future.
That kind of future isn't right, is it?
Porus knew that he was a sinner, having killed countless people by order of the Empire, but even so, he had no intention of dying.
This is the only reason why he has survived until now......
"Porus is a good man, to be exact."
"Huh? General Estes thinks so too? Mr. Porus, it's well hidden. ”
Will then set his sights on Hiiragi.
"You shouldn't be someone who has a girlfriend too, right?"
"Me? Of course not. ”
"Whew~"
Will breathed a sigh of relief and closed the distance with Hiiragi again, that expression was simply a model of 'great', what a flattering guy.
Porus' family leaves after delivering the lunch, and Estes returns the conversation to the original topic.
Form up the Jaegers and launch a full-scale crusade against the NightRaid.
The current NightRaid is the Empire's greatest enemy, after all, there are very few people left who dare to oppose the Empire.
"Nan, you're welcome to join us."
Estes also stretched out his right hand to Hiiragi, and Hiiragi had to hold it with his right hand.
"Don't try to escape, I'll get you back wherever you are."
"Ahaha......"
Hiiragi's smile is not very cheerful.
But for Estes, it was enough, and she knew very well that Hiiragi would not leave here now.
So, what exactly does Estes like about himself?
Cheerful smile (manual funny)? Torture the knowledge of plants? Or is it some other reason?
A female general who wants to fall in love, shouldn't she go to the protagonist?
Assuming that the current self has been integrated into the plot, if you are taken by Estes, you will be happy and a little troubled at the same time......
"I hate complicated problems, some things should be simpler."
It was during the break after the end of the meeting, and Sailiu suddenly ran out from behind Hiiragi and gave him a slap on the back of the head.
Complex problems are annoying, but can they really be simplified?
Like math problems, most problems have the easiest way to solve them, and there is no need to take a detour to calculate more steps, but some problems are not simplified and need to be solved step by step.
At that time, what should I do?
What to do? What to do? This is a problem.
It's true that Hiiragi can't deny that he thinks about too much, but can he ignore all of this?
"As I said before, if you can't get an answer, just take one step at a time, I don't have the information of criminals at all times, only a little bit to collect, isn't it almost?"
Then, Seliu hugged Xiaobi and continued
"Break the bones of those evil criminals one by one!"
“…………”
Arriving here, Hiiragi suddenly discovers a problem.
A very serious problem, wrong, for Hiiragi, it's not that serious.
It's better to say that this question makes Hiiragi quite puzzled.
Why, is this happening?
Hiiragi, who thought of this, also grabbed Sailu's hand, which made Sailiu puzzled and made Xiaobi vigilant.
Led her to the back of a nearby house, and then grabbed Seleuc with both hands.
"What's wrong? South? ”
"You ......"
With his left hand, he grabbed Seleuc's right wrist and pulled off all his sleeves.
Beneath the off-white tunic and lining, not fleshy arms are exposed, but metallic, armor-covered arms......
"...... like this"
This kind of development, such an unfolding, is very different from the situation that Hiiragi imagined.
Seleuc didn't kill Ciel, Ciel didn't cut off her arms, why did it become like this?
"Seleuc, your hand ......"
"Well, because I want to punish those evil relationships more powerfully, so please ask Dr. Fashiontech to help me transform it, this is a very powerful mechanical arm, plus the accompanying change function, it can definitely destroy all the thoughts of those evil people!"
Even if Seleuc's thoughts were correct, even if he gave up his human body for the sake of so-called justice, his actions for the sake of such righteousness were wrong.
It's too extreme, much more extreme than complicating a simple problem yourself.
What you want to change has not changed, and what you don't want to change has changed.
What can and cannot be changed is a mystery.
The world's corrections are often unexpected, and Hiiragi, who is a traverser, will never be able to easily understand the means of its correction.
Is it because of the death of the characters in the plot, or the speed of the plot's progression? Which change will be more likely to attract the attention of the 'world'.
Assuming that the Lord God has control over the world, why can't he help himself in this regard?
Kindness...... Even if he could, the Lord God wouldn't do that.
Just like the intelligence dealer in the Headless Horseman, it likes humans and intends to observe them, and even if they interfere, it will definitely not be too obvious.
Maybe the Lord God is doing all this.
Of course, this is all speculation.
Letting go of Sailu's hand, Hiiragi also sighed heavily.
"Of course you can punish evil, but it's just that it's too much to pay."
"Huh? Do I need your approval for my actions? That's weird. ”
"It's ......"
And rightfully so......
Not Hiiragi's words, but Seleuc.
The choices made by the characters in this world are the choices they make on their beliefs and desires, and they are choices that cannot be denied, and Hiiragi has denied them.
Who's right and who's wrong is a bit confusing at this point.
Yes, not everyone wants to be happy......
Nangong Hiiragi is also a little paranoid, or rather, he occasionally has some antisocial emotions in it.
I hate things that make sense, and I hate the actions that others do not meet my own standards.
This is Hiiragi's values, and like ordinary people, he wants to overlay his values on others.
"Whatever you want."
"By the way, General Estes said oh, we are going to act together tomorrow night, the first operation, what a thrill! Let's do it together! Also, we will meet tomorrow morning! ”
Selyu, who comforted Xiaobi with his hand and patted Hiiragi on the shoulder, walked away from him.
Seleuc looked very happy, different from the original her, she had changed, and now she was happy, even if it was a little distorted......
"It's really helpless......"
Hiiragi is also leaning against the wall.,It seems that he can't play the role of this hero well.。
As for the next action, Hiiragi will continue to do his best.
It's not his character to give up halfway, and he won't do that.
And the action in Sailu's mouth must be to exterminate the bandits.
Even if the plot has changed, the real main line is still going on in an orderly manner......
Well, it's better to use chicken soup for the soul as the ending.
- Happiness is sometimes not at the destination, but on the way to the destination, just like that, you should not miss enjoying the scenery along the way because you are in a hurry.
Anyone's choice is the right one for themselves......
