Postscript: The Mirror of Soullust (Part I)

When I woke up, it was already early in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Carnet has always slept relatively little, so he was the first to get up.

He rubbed his eyes, and his gaze fell on Lucina, who was still asleep.

He glanced at Lucina, and suddenly there was something strange in his heart, which made him hesitate for a moment whether he should go on the road alone.

But in the end, he left alone. After leaving a note of farewell, he patted Al on the back and resumed his journey.

He didn't know why he wanted to leave alone, maybe it was just because he felt that his journey as a demon hunter was not suitable for Lucina. It's too dangerous.

He also doesn't want to be carried away by superfluous emotions that affect his future judgment. No matter what kind of camaraderie it is.

Demon hunters should avoid getting too emotionally involved with a place or person.

This can hinder the progress of the road.

Everyone is a passerby, try to keep your emotions closed - that's it.

Canette glanced back at Lucina again, shook her head and left.

"Mr. Cannett......" Unexpectedly, the voice of the water spirit suddenly appeared behind him. This made Canette pause for a moment, and turned to look at her.

The water sprite apparently stuffed a ball into Lucina's arms and came out on its own.

"Are you leaving?" the water elf looked at Canette quietly.

“...... Well. Kanaert nodded, not denying it.

"Yes...... the water fairy's expression seemed to be slightly regretful: "That...... Good bye. ”

"Goodbye. Thinking that going further would bring the conversation back, Canette smiled at her and left.

The water elf watched him leave and turned away.

Lucina was still on the couch, sleeping with Minia in her arms, and she didn't mean to wake up.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Then, another side of the Demon Hunting Blood Pupil series is over.

This is the true history of this plot.

Maybe there are still a lot of things that haven't been discovered in the process.

But does it really make sense for them to exist after the matter is settled?

In any case, it is a last resort.

The choices made can no longer be changed, just as time itself only moves forward.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

So, how many choices did Canette make that greatly affected the direction of the timeline?

In parentheses are the selections of canonical histories.

A: Did Canette run away after Al kicked the young man unconscious? (No)

B: Did Canette choose to break the mirror and release the trio?

C: Did you check after hearing someone getting out of bed in the middle of the night?

D: In the early morning, did Canette choose to leave directly, or stay and wait for Lucina to wake up?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Option A - So, what if Canette chose to flee directly?

As a result, he fled, and he didn't encounter any commissions.

However, she still bumped into Lucina, and Lucina was preparing to make potato paste.

The witcher was invited to stay for dinner, and after eating before leaving, Lucina stopped him and asked for money. Because she didn't have any money for her, she had to agree to act with Aya for a while.

On the other hand, the three people who were sucked into the magic mirror ended up devouring their souls. And the client also went crazy and committed suicide in the house.

Without the intervention of demon hunters, this is the logical ending.

That's how a lot of things can be left unchecked.

Demon hunters aren't saviors that never existed, and you won't feel like your actions are affecting the world.

However, you can really feel that you are changing the small circle around you and the people involved in it.

This sense of realism ......

Perhaps it is the best medicine for many demon hunters who do not let the blood of monsters flowing in their bodies devour their minds.

The road to demon hunting needs the meaning of moving forward. Otherwise, just go around solving the crisis caused by the monsters, and you will slowly lose the enthusiasm you had at the beginning.

You have to remember why you're standing here. A "thank you" after saving a life is sometimes more important than anything else.

Demon hunters have half of the monster's blood in their veins, and if they don't have faith to support them, they can lose themselves at any time.

...... Then, these demon hunters who have turned into monsters will be hunted by other demon hunters.

And so on and so forth, with no end.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Option B - What would happen if Canette chose not to break the mirror and release the trio?

Carnett decided to be cautious, considering the risk of not being able to get out of the mirror.

Again, he broke the mirror only after letting go of the trio. After that, I didn't meet the situation where the woman got up in the middle of the night.

Since nothing unusual happened, Canette took the money and left overnight. As for whether to stay and wait for Lucina, it will create a different situation. This part is almost the same as the official history, please refer directly to the D option analysis below.

However, just after they all left......

What Canette feared happened.

The evil spirit lurked inside the woman, and then broke away from her body on its own, not trying to kill the man.

Having retained his magic powers, he possessed himself directly to one of the strongest people he could find nearby: a guard.

After he took control of the guards, he used him to kill several people and suck a lot of souls. After finally devouring the souls of the guards, it forged its own entity, causing a horrific massacre in the village.

In the end, before the guards from the nearby cantonment arrived, the dozen or so people in the village who didn't have time to run had already been killed. This includes employers.

Sometimes a small oversight can lead to even greater disaster. It's just a matter of thought.

No matter how low the possibility of causing a tragedy is, we must try to ignore it. Even a five percent chance is too high for an option that involves a lot of life.

How can you guarantee that it won't happen?

Carnet's negligence caused all this, and he himself did not know it. By the time this happened, he had been quite far away.

Otherwise, it will definitely teach him a heavy lesson.

For demon hunters, this is quite a blow.

After all, this is equivalent to dereliction of duty and killing more people.
