Part 2
As I step out into the hallway, Luxion, who has been waiting outside the room, approaches me.
[Master should look at yourself objectively before making any statements. Many of the statements you made to Erika apply to Master as well.]
“Don’t eavesdrop.”
[It’s to make follow up for Master who neglects to share information]
“You’re getting all glib.”
As I start to walk away, Luxion moves into position.
He turns his single red eye on me, floating around my right shoulder, matching with my walking speed.
“You didn’t tell Erika the truth, did you?”
“She doesn’t need to know. —— It would be pitiful if she knew that a lot of people would lose their lives because of her choice.”
I said I felt sorry for her, but I can’t blame Erika for not knowing the circumstances.
I was the one who helped Mia-chan get healthy.
If there is a sin, it would be on me.
Perhaps it was because I had an expression of distress on my face, Luxion was worried about me.
[Escape is the right decision, Master has done nothing wrong.]
“Do you really think I’m going to change my mind now?”
[Then, is it okay to proceed with the escape plan as planned?]
“I’ll be bringing people I know on board, though, so the numbers will increase.”
If I can’t win anyway, I’ll just have to put my family and relations —— people I know on the Luxion main body and escape into space.
Even though I just didn’t know anything about it, I just can’t help but feel responsible.
Luxion, sensing my feelings, keeps trying to persuade me not to change my mind.
[Master has made a wise decision]
“The people who got involved won’t forgive me, though.”
[——Thanks to Master’s decision to escape, the descendants of the old humans will not be destroyed and will survive. It is a wiser choice than extinction.]
“I hope so.”
Luxion, who reminds me that I made a wise choice, seems to be worried about me.
——Do you think that I would challenge Arcadia with a sense of justice?
Or do you think I am so overwhelmed with guilt that I feel responsible and challenge it?
I’m an adult.
Also a dirty adult.
I can come up with any number of excuses for myself, and I can get away with this situation.
In the first place, who would think that a war that happened a long time ago is still going on?
Who would expect the old humans, unable to use magic and suffering from a poison called magic element, to survive on this planet?
Moreover, did the old humans use magic and plant it in their genes?
This is not a fantasy world of swords and magic.
It’s not my fault. —— It’s that otome game setting that’s wrong.
“Anyway, I want to take my family with me. I’ll convince them, so I’ll go back to my parents’ house.”
[Einhorn is ready to sail. We are ready to leave at any time.]
“—— Or wait until after the Empire’s messengers have departed?”
It is time for Finn and his colleagues to leave for the Empire.
I think it’s fine to wait and seeing them off.
