I Have Crossed Over, but You Are The Second Week?

For example, when one's own interests are violated.For example, when one's family members face doubts.For example, when one's own group is isolated.For example, when one's own country is threatened.

When faced with these situations, any species with intelligence will associate them with feelings and interests, and then make choices that best suit their needs, but are neither fair nor just.

Because the creature itself is a creature driven by emotion.Emotions, desires, dreams, interests, money, rights, or even just some satisfaction.

For these reasons, people often make choices that run counter to reason and objectivity.

Like bullying, you have to accept the possibility of being bullied.To kill is to accept the possibility of being killed.To eat is to accept the possibility of being treated as food.

If you are standing on the side of other groups, countries, and races to look at those who are far away from yourself, of course people can say such things.But if you apply these to the group you are in, can you really say such a thing?

Because I need to eat, I have to accept my fate as food.Such words and ideas are impossible for anyone who is closely related to them to accept.

In the same way, Subaru is also a human being, and there is no way to accept it.Because this is the confrontation between races and races, it is the confrontation between the 'people' with intelligence and emotion who can control their desires, and the 'beasts' who have no intelligence and are driven by instinct.

No creature that stretches out in the group of 'people' can say such a fair but indifferent words, because all of this is closely related to his survival.

So Subaru realized, realized where Daphne was really threatening, realized where Daphne was really unusual as a witch, realized the fact that Echidona said Daphne was the most dangerous witch.

It should be said that he was completely deceived by appearance at the beginning, Subaru should have realized when he realized that Daphne did not resist cannibalism, and even actively developed an appetite.

This is not a dialogue between people. The survival and interests of the human group have nothing to do with Daphne.

- Daphne, can not be called 'human'.

Her values ​​are completely different from those of humans, and the law of the law of the jungle is only absolutely applicable to beasts without intelligence.

The reason why human beings can continue to move forward and make continuous progress, so as to become the hegemons of the biological world today, is precisely because human beings have strong empathy, can help and support each other, understand and bear each other, the strong guard the weak, and the weak support the strong. That's what keeps going.

If it is said that witches are all such beings, then does the Echidona that he came into contact with before also have an abnormality that he has not yet discovered, which is absolutely different from the values ​​of ordinary people, so that it is separated from the concept of 'human'? .

However, even if there was, Echidona was aware of it, and cleverly hid it.And Daphne...she didn't hide her 'abnormality' at all, and didn't even think it was 'abnormal'.

There is no doubt that the woman in front of her bound in the coffin is a witch in the true sense.

A witch who is completely out of the group of 'people' and makes people feel fear from the heart!

"Subaru still doesn't understand... Everyone, don't you think 'gluttony' is too simple?"

"..."

"Appetite~ But the most important desire for survival! After all, if you don't satisfy your appetite, you can't live~"

"..."

"Even if you don't have security, even if you don't get loved, even if you can't express your feelings, even if you can't keep your self-esteem, even if you don't get what you want, even if you don't want anything, you won't die, right? But..."

Daphne 'watched' the silent Subaru with a frown, patiently explaining what she understood as 'gluttony'

"If you don't eat, people will die!"

For the time being, ignoring the 'pretence' and 'melancholy' that have never been seen or heard of before, the seven witches known to the world represent the desires of intelligent creatures, that is, the 'seven deadly sins'.

Among them, only 'gluttony' is directly related to life.

The real meaning of 'bulimia' is to indulge in an appetite that exceeds one's needs.However, what Daphne was talking about at this moment was the appetite for survival.

That is an undeniable truth.

but--

"You must eat in order to survive, I don't deny that. But the meaning of that is absolutely—"

"Because I don't remember, I can't understand Daphne? If Subaru is hungry again, he will definitely understand... Tutu, what is the world where Daphne and Tutu live."

Unable to refute.

Although Daphne's words seemed to indicate that he had fallen into extreme hunger, but without this impression at all, he had no way to refute what Daphne said.

Because he has never experienced that feeling, he doesn't know what extreme hunger looks like.In the ancient times when there was a shortage of food, there were also rumors of changing children and eating. Perhaps hunger can really destroy a person's reason and morality.

Subaru, who had never suffered like this before, had no way of understanding what it felt like.Even if he also knew that some people would rather starve to death without shaking their beliefs, but if he said it like this, it would just be a big talk from someone who had no relationship with him who had never experienced the pain.

However, even if there was no way to refute it, even if he had no position to refute it because he had never experienced that feeling, Subaru couldn't agree with Daphne's point of view.

Appetite is indeed a desire for survival, a desire necessary for survival.However, this can never represent everything about a person. Desires are only a tiny part of a person, not the dominance that dominates that person's behavior.

Feelings, beliefs, perseverance and unyielding spirit are the most important parts of a person.

Subaru, who can understand each other even in the face of Roswaal, is the first to meet a 'person' who absolutely cannot understand.

Chapter 508 Breaking with the Witch?

Humans... No, it should be said that no creature can understand things beyond their own common sense, even if it is just a concept different from their own, it is also incomprehensible.

Just like in modern society, human beings still have no way to stop infighting through mutual understanding, there are always thoughts and concepts that cannot be understood and recognized by each other between human beings.

But even so, if it comes to the topic of the human race, then almost all human beings stand on the same position and hold the same opinion, that is, the interests of human beings are absolutely the highest priority.

It seems that whether it is an animal protection organization or an environmental protection organization, the original purpose of these organizations is to allow human beings to live on the earth more safely.

Subaru is very clear that the so-called protection of animals and the environment is because humans realize that if they do not do this, they will not be able to survive, not out of morality, but out of profit.

In fact, Subaru himself cannot say that he is an absolutely kind and fair person. If he had to say it, he could be said to be an extreme racist.

However, he is not a racist divided by race, but a racist who includes all human beings in one race, a race called 'human race', who safeguards this interest.

He will love animals and the environment, and after coming to this different world, he will be kind to them after coming into contact with intelligent species other than humans.

But when it comes to humans themselves, Subaru also thinks that he will act on the collective side of humans without hesitation, rather than from an absolutely neutral point of view saying that if you kill someone, you will accept the fate of being killed. , eating is to accept the fate of being treated as food.

Such behavior is indeed unfair to species other than humans, but Subaru also admits that he is just a hypocrite, a kind of person who is still selfish.

It is probably because of this that Ti Feng said that he is a kind person, but he feels guilty about himself.Because he knew from the beginning that he was not a noble, but a despicable person.

Therefore, such a despicable Subaru had no way of understanding what was in front of him, so he stood as if from a 'God's point of view', and said in a cold-blooded manner, "If you want to eat the other party, you must accept that you will be eaten. Destiny" Daphne.

"Humans can survive even without relying on the monsters you made. In other words, the monsters you made are useless by themselves!"

"...In other words, do you think Daphne did something wrong?"

Daphne in the coffin had a somewhat relaxed expression that turned cold, and her voice didn't want to give people a simple feeling like before.

He was angry, after all, he had already been denied like this, and Subaru didn't think Daphne would treat him calmly.

This can be said to be the worst meeting. Although he has thoroughly understood what kind of unreasonable creature a witch is, if he had a choice, Subaru would not want to meet Daphne at all.

The conflict of beliefs and ideas between each other made it impossible for Subaru to treat him friendly, because if he didn't stand on the side of humans, even if he was neutral, he was also an enemy.

Even though Subaru knew that the purpose of Daphne's creation of monsters was to provide food to hungry people, but this kind of people struggled between eating and being eaten like beasts, and it could even be said that they never ate once, but continued. The result of being eaten made Subaru unable to think that this was correct.

"Ah, as a human being who thinks from the standpoint of a human being, what you did is undoubtedly wrong."

"Daphne - you didn't think from a human standpoint at all, from the beginning to the end."

"—Because, Daphne is a witch!"

Daphne split her mouth, revealing a terrifying smile.

"Witch, why do you think from the standpoint of humans?"

"...Indeed, because you are a witch, and you are also the witch who created the monsters, the 'mother' of the monsters."

Subaru's expression turned cold uncontrollably. It was the first time he had become so hostile to a person.Even in the face of Roswaal, who always caused trouble for him and twisted his mind, Subaru was not as angry as he was now.

So, Subaru was going to prove it.

"I will kill the big rabbit."

"I have killed the white whale, and the big rabbit will not let go, and then the black snake——!!"

"Since you think that you must eat to survive, and if you want to eat, you must accept the fate of being eaten, then I will use the same fallacies to prove it to you."

"Those who want to kill us will be killed by us, and those who want to eat us will be eaten by us!"

"Be it the white whale, the big rabbit, the black snake, or even those other beasts—"

"I'll get rid of them one by one until I kill them all!"

"You look at all your children - they are all dead!"

"—'Mother-sama'!"

"...Say something like that."

'The Witch of Gluttony', Daphne showed excitement for the first time since she appeared in front of Subaru.

She smiled, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips.The eyes covered by the black cloth stared at Subaru tightly, and the body controlled by the chains trembled uncontrollably, as if he could break the chains and rush out at any time.

"If you want to do it - then do it for me!"

-

"It didn't look like a good meeting."

The breeze blew, Echidona reappeared in front of Subaru, the breath that belonged to Daphne disappeared, and Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

"You should have expected this result. The reason why you keep warning me not to get close to Daphne and not to untie the shackles is because I am worried that I can't help but wave my fist on impulse?"

"It is true that I have considered this aspect, but I didn't expect it to be so stiff this time."

Echidona shrugged helplessly, seeming to regret the outcome of the meeting between Subaru and Daphne.

"In the end, the topic ended without asking anything. I'm also looking forward to your relationship with Daphne. In that case, it's just her idea to eliminate Duotu."

"After all, Duotu itself is a magical beast created by her, and life and death can naturally be controlled by her."

"...It's the first time you've said this kind of thing, so that's another easy way you're talking about?"

Subaru was a little surprised, but then he waved his hand.

"Even so, it's impossible for me to agree with her thoughts. But...you witches' thoughts have really separated from the collective human beings."

"I've come to realize this."

Chapter 509 Remram Waiting for Subaru

"Welcome back, Subaru-kun."

"Is the tryst with the witch over, Ballus?"

Subaru had just returned to the village when he saw Rem and Ram standing on the side of the road.Just like Otto, Rem and Ram also guessed that he wanted to meet the witch.

Maybe as Otto said, those around him guessed what he was thinking, but because of trust and respect, no one talked about it.
