Chapter 191: Self Sacrifice
There are laws in this world that no one understands yet, laws that are different from those on Earth.
Take the moon, for example.
The phases of the moon do not coincide with a month.
Or rather, there is no law of the full moon.
You don't know if it's a full moon or a new moon until night.
The day after the full moon, there is another full moon. That's a normal occurrence.
Well, that's not important right now.
I just thought about it because it's a full moon tonight.
"Shiro Edgeworth"
Ginkei appears in front of me
"Did you find the location?"
"Yes, I will show the location"
A red dot appears on the map projected in the air
"Julius, Julius!"
I call out to Julius, who is busily preparing to go out.
"Is there something there?"
"There must be a small fort. Is everyone here?"
"Yes, there are traces of everyone having entered there."
"It's an untouched place. It's an easy rescue. I'll go help them right away. Is that okay? Shiro-dono."
If Julius' words are true, the sooner the better.
If reinforcements come, it will be troublesome and the number of victims will increase.
"How many people have you gathered?"
"About 50 people."
"What about the carriages?"
"Yes, the carriages and horses are fine."
"Then let's load up the armor and weapons and head there. I'll have them join the battle as soon as we helped them. As long as they're not injured."
"Don't we need wound medicine and bandages?"
"I can do healing magic."
When I said that, he looked so smug.
"Anything goes for Shiro-dono."
I was taken aback.
I couldn't understand the reaction, so I asked Wince about it.
"Heh!"
Isn't it terrible?
Wince also reacted the same way.
"All right! We'll move as soon as we're ready."
“Julius, don’t be lazy, okay?”
"I'll check it myself as often as I have to. There's no need to worry."
With that, Julius runs to get ready.
Wince and Sedona are also getting ready.
"Shiro, what should we do?"
Yukikaze and Ginkei were left
"Yukikaze and the others, please wait here. The rebel army may come again."
"Ready to fly?"
"Please. Remaining rebels... No, can all the non-combatants get on board?"
"I don’t think there will be any problem. But I think two days of continuous flight is the limit."
"That's enough, I'll be back in the morning."
"Okay. I'll go check the furnace."
"Please."
Okay.
Now that the instructions are done, there's nothing left to do.
Let's wait a while.
"Shiro Edgeworth, I have a few questions for you."
Ginkei is talking to me on his own, which is rare.
Normally, it only responds to what it's told, or to questions.
"A question? Is there anything I can answer for you?"
"I don't think I'll get a satisfactory answer, but just in case."
It doesn't seem to have much faith in me.
"Self-sacrifice for victory, self-sacrifice for redemption, self-sacrifice for revenge. Is self-sacrifice, in general, pleasing?"
"No. Feed that self-sacrifice to the dogs."
"Are you saying that your actions are not self-sacrificing?"
"Me? Where?"
"I don't think Shiro Edgeworth is the type of person who could be a hero."
You're wrong.
"I'm not going to be a hero"
"To everyone around you, you're a hero."
"If the people around me are just talking about it on their own, I'll leave it alone. If they mention it, I deny it. As long as I can live happily with my family, that's fine."
"Are you happy now?"
"I'm not having fun. I don't want to fight, I don't want to kill. But I go on because this is the only future I want."
"And you're doing all this for selfishness?"
"Yes, humans are very selfish."
"But you..."
"I'm human. Even if I'm a [fake]. I'll just continue to act like a human."
"I see. But in acting like a human being, I have a word of caution."
"What is it?"
"I would say it is dangerous to use Wince Edgeworth and Master Sedona as the standard for humanity."
"Is something wrong with it?"
"The libido of those two is abnormal, so I recommend reducing it by 80%."
"I'll take that as a reference."
----------------
After talking with Shiro Edgeworth, I'm getting ready to go dormant.
In the meantime, I checked the conversation log
[Feed that self-sacrifice to the dogs.]
I understood that self-sacrifice was worthless for Shiro Edgeworth.
Maria
Do you really think you made the right choice?
I checked the conversation log with Maria
[Wait until midnight to rescue.]
[Arrangements are in place for everyone to return safely except me.]
Is it right to report this to Shiro Edgeworth?
No, it's too late. We've already run out of time.
Then I have no choice but to remain silent.
[I'm sure Shiro-sama will inspire Julius.]
Everything is going according to the plan.
