At the Kasuga Medical Center in New Tokyo, many of the soldiers who participated in the decisive battle at the summit of Mt. Kagura last year were suffering from PTSD and were in a precarious state.

"We've really seen demons!"

"The devil has turned the mountain into a labyrinth, and you can't finish it......"

"—Great Demon! A big demon like a bug with countless arms, and it eats a lot of people! Keep killing! There is nothing we can do to stop ......" retired mentally handicapped soldiers who are often screaming, crying or whispering, and are in a state of abandonment.

"These soldiers are insane."

"The battlefield is as terrible as they say, and the defeat of demons by human defense plans is very glorious, and they look like deserters, or the least determined people in the army."

"Until the aid money is allocated, they will probably have to stay here forever...... "The nurses are helpless against the soldiers, who are immersed in the nightmare of the decisive battle of Mt. Kagura day and night.

"Look, that's it." Rei arrives with Sayuri, who is dressed in a brand new nurse's uniform.

“…… Can it work......" Sayuri is taught by her mother's words and deeds, and she also understands the basic principles of hospital and nurse work. And this time she had to concentrate and not mess things up.

"We are members of the Witch Countermeasures Bureau, and we have come to participate in social work." Rei explained, and showed his ID. Sayuri was able to enter the hospital room.

The smell of blood made her appetite whet her appetite, Zhang Su had said that thirst was a hallucination, but Sayuri really needed a regular supply of a large amount of blood to restore her spirit. She was grateful to Reio for giving her such an opportunity.

"Everyone obediently get checked-ups, and psychiatric treatment ......" Sayuri asked the soldiers to calm down, and the soldiers who had retired from fighting the demons on the front line were given extra attention, and Sayuri suspected that the authorities did not want these people to talk nonsense and affect the morale of the recruits.

But how pitiful they are. Sayuri sighed. All of them are people who have sacrificed their lives to protect the world and defend their homeland, and now the demonic interference is deeply embedded in their minds, making it difficult for them to return to society.

"I will use the magic of 'sincerity' for the purpose of healing, and I hope that you can feel calm." Reiyang raised her hand and began to channel the power.

She approached one of the five thick, three-thick, tousled soldiers, who wore a hospital gown, and was the most intimidating in appearance and demeanor, and the former nurses did not dare to get along with him.

"What do you want to do!" The strong soldier yelled.

"'Look, a witch, things are in our favor.' Isn't that what everyone loves to hear? "Mercy is a good one.

When the soldier heard this, he calmed down a little. Rei Yang spreads the magic of sincerity, enters the soul of the other party, and strips out the true thoughts from it.

"Legion Commander Nazmi unleashed a huge explosion before he died, instantly shattering everyone around you, and you are the only one left to live......" Rei closed her eyes to channel the thoughts and memories in the other's heart, while Sayuri shielded her from the impulsive actions of the other spurred soldiers.

"Ahh......h And Ensign Yasi, a real warrior among men, no one can defeat him, and many demons have been stopped by him alone! But they were blown to shreds, and there were no bones left! We followed Yoshiyo Akasawa to the top of the mountain, but in the end, I was the only one who survived, how could this be! Are we destined to be sacrificed? "Soldiers painfully recalled.

Other soldiers, spurred by the trauma of war, also showed anguish on their faces. Sayuri is taken aback and tries to stop it, only to find that Reo is slowly taking advantage of the occasion while dissecting and revealing the complex mental activities of many people.

"The most painful thing is not to witness the death of a companion, but to ...... Realize the meaninglessness of the death of the little people. "You subconsciously found out that the decisive battle of Mt. Kagura was completed by heroic characters, and the meaning of your existence is to serve as stepping stones and cannon fodder, applauding heroes when they play their role, and expressing shock when the enemy appears." You are deeply aware of your own insignificance, so small that even death cannot sublimate the meaning of soldiers. ”

They felt the same way and sighed.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?" Rei turned her head to look at Sayuri, "I think we all feel the same way as a 'small person'." ”

"Huh? I? Sayuri pondered, but she thought hard, trying to refute the few immature thoughts in her mind, trying to weave them into a fluid conclusion, "I was an insignificant person before I entered the hospital, but I felt ...... Even if it's just to do something, you will feel satisfied, like feeding animals, it may sound silly, but you will be happy when you do it. ”

"The things that are in the ......," they thought.

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, when the Human Defense Project recruited everyone, it didn't specifically classify everyone as 'heroes' or as extraordinarily powerful combat figures. It's enough for everyone to just join the human defense program as ordinary soldiers and play the role of soldiers on the front line. "Mercy observes their sincerity so that she can find something in their hearts that they really don't want to face.

"Did we really do our best......"

"If we can only be saved by great people and powerful witches, then the point of our fight against demons ......" they hesitated.

"Rest assured, you can say that you are worthy of who you are. As we love the wise saying: with less power comes less responsibility. Lianyang said.

These words resonate with people even more. She saw that many of the soldiers' wounds were healing in their hearts. Their attitudes were not as frantic and radical as before, and there had never been more peace in this specially cared for soldiers' ward.

"It's rude, if I have something I don't do well, please bear with me." Sayuri nodded repeatedly, and then began to clean the room, change the medication, practice the injections and change the drip bottles under the guidance of the senior nurse, change the bedding of the patients, and began to try all the things that a nurse should do.

"Very talented." The nurses were also glad to see that there were people willing to volunteer to help, "There are always many patients and little medical care in New Tokyo, and especially in a national public hospital like ours, it is completely impossible to compete with private hospitals with high salaries and high prices, but if there are private hospitals everywhere, everyone will have to spend a lot more money than they do now." I hope that Yu Mihashi will not be elected prime minister. ”

"Thank you, as long as you can...... If you help, you will feel more at ease. Sayuri bowed repeatedly. She found that the dilapidated ward had become clean and tidy little by little thanks to her own efforts, and the disabled soldiers had their own place, and Sayuri herself felt very satisfied.

"It is also the only place where there is a shortage of people and public operations can carry out public-to-public cooperation in the name of the countermeasures bureau...... The relationship between human defense programs and states is really complicated. Lianyang was thoughtful.

After leaving the Kasuga Medical Center, Reo and Sayuri meet at the door, and Sayuri is a little excited.

"I just feel like this place is better than the school, and I should be in a place like this." Sayuri muttered, "Take care of everyone like you do with the animals in a small animal farm." ”

"The human mind is more complex than a chick." Rei smiled, "I guess you need this right now." ”

She took out a bag of plasma and handed it to Sayuri.

"Blood!" Sayuri hurriedly opened the bag and drank freely, and being able to drink more human blood was a great pleasure for her.

"In order to carry out the project in New Tokyo, I need manpower, I need a lot of magic, huh...... This hospital can provide you with the blood you need, plus you have to train the magic, and I'm going to make you stronger. Mercy thought.

"Exercise? Blood magic seems to be a useful magic power, but I haven't tried it yet, and my mother told me to be cautious. Sayuri said.

"By the way, you must have met a lot of nasty people at that school before." "Let's try to kill them." ”
