Volume 5 Chapter 106 Weighing the lives of my companions and the path to heroism

I closed my eyes and sunk deep in thought .

About the benefits of helping the citizens of light, and the danger that would befall my companions .

Me and Mia had used our powers for the sake of the people of this world once .

In that city named Hesshu・ Reshu・ Nashu, to save normal people who were unrelated to us and completely powerless, we entered into a battle .

In the end, the monster army sent out Mekishu Grand as a final struggle .

If it were just me and Mia, we would be dead .

If the army of Hesshu・ Reshu・ Nashu hadn’t challenged that desperate battle–

If Arisu and Tamaki hadn’t entered the magical alignment during that time–

Lacking any of that kind of support, me and Mia would be done for .

Even if we wanted information, there was originally no need for that battle .

What did we get from exposing ourselves to danger? What do we want in the future?

When we originally transferred to the area around the world tree, the soldiers of light looked down on us, regarding us coldly .

Shamefully enough, I was afraid of that soldier .

I couldn’t say for sure that the shame I felt didn’t affect my att.i.tude towards the citizens of light going forward .

No, in fact I’d say it certainly did . I can’t deny that…the fact that I so easily accepted Lucia’s proposal, is because I wasn’t against the idea of treating the citizens of light as a jumping-off point for our goals .

That and everything else made me accept Lucia’s suggestion .

But was that really the right choice to make as a leader?

When I was deciding to face s.h.i.+ba and the high school section, I had forced myself not to handle things impulsively . Finally, I decided that I had to kill him . No matter how I thought about it, he would prove harmful to the Cultivating Center team . I never regretted that choice .

And this time?

We were likely going to battle side by side with the citizens of light in the future . They have a vast set of connections, knowledge about this world, and territory .

And, at the very least, the leader of the citizens of light Miss Lin was friendly towards us .

This was completely different from what had happened in the high school section .

A trusting relations.h.i.+p .

That was the key . No matter if we were trying to find a way back to our original world, or if we choose to live in this one, we needed someone with whom we could continuously interact and build a relations.h.i.+p of trust with . It was crucial .

Was it worth taking risks to secure this trust?

What Mia said about whether or not I should become a hero–she was talking about this . How much we should give for the citizens of light . Is the benefit we’ll receive from saving them worth the risk?

I open my eyes and look at Mia .

When she suddenly started talking about heroes, I didn’t understand what she was talking about…

Had she been planning this since then?

Of course, when we were observing the city from the hills, she couldn’t have guessed that things would become so serious .

But what she said at the time, had become a principle of my actions .

“Mia, so you’re saying the hero that you want to become, has to do with being able to get into a win-win situation . ”

“My favorite kind of situation is a happy ending . It’s best if everyone can be happy . ”

All right–I nodded and put my hand on Mia’s hand, rubbing it roughly without regard .

Mia made a few low moans, looking up at me .

“Hm, covering up your embarra.s.sment?”

“Yeah, of course . I’m very shy . ”

Sighing, I stood up .

In the distance, there were wails signifying that the slaughter was continuing . Every second and every minute that we stayed here, there were more citizens of light sacrificing themselves .
