I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

"Do you know how I felt when I violated the principle for the first time? I have never escaped in my life, even when facing the most terrifying evil god's real body, or facing unpredictable disasters."

"I also teach every agent I meet, I tell them that the agents of the association must act aboveboard and arrogant,

Because we are the first and last line of defense in the world, we must stand here, let everyone and all the weirdness in the mysterious world see, make them afraid, make them dare not try to invade the daily life of ordinary people... so we Can't escape. "

"I've been doing this all my life, I've done it myself, and I've taught others to do it, but today I've violated my principles for the first time to persuade people to run away, and it's the first time I've violated my principles to persuade you to run away When you did, you resolutely rejected it.

...To be frank, I find this feeling very uncomfortable, what a nasty brat you are! "

"Master..." Bi Qigu looked bewildered and wanted to explain.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to say any more." Sakalski still didn't turn around, and his hateful words roughly interrupted Hikigu's explanation, "You don't understand what I mean, I said these words, in fact, I just wanted to explain,"

Bi Qigu was anxious, "Master, listen to me—"

"—I want to say, you did a good job."

"I... huh?"

His tone suddenly froze, as if he was stuck in his throat by a thick fishbone while eating, Bi Qigu blinked his eyes and fell into a speech suffocation at the sudden turn, the whole person was dumbfounded.

... He felt that he could not understand what Sakalski was saying at all.

"Although your choice makes me very uncomfortable, to be honest, if you really listen to me and run away, I will still be uncomfortable...I will still be disappointed in you."

"It's my heart to let you escape, but it's also my heart not to see the agents escape... There's no conflict."

After taking a deep breath, Sakaski let out a long sigh,

"And now, you have successfully convinced me. Maybe I do feel a little embarrassed and awkward, but I am still proud of you."

Sakaski's voice gradually returned to calm, and the deep but steady voice made Hikigu gradually return to tranquility in the silence,

"...You are right, people can escape once, but what about the next time and the next time?"

Sakarski's eyes looked at the moon, he suddenly felt that the moon tonight is really round and the moonlight is really bright,

"I went into a misunderstanding. Although I am your master, you taught me a lesson today."

"Just like a butterfly cannot be helped when it breaks out of its cocoon. If someone really helps the butterfly to skip this painful process, then the butterfly can only linger on with a shrunken body and collapsed wings in this life, and finally die early...

Today, I played the role of the little girl who used scissors to help the butterfly break its cocoon, but ended up doing something bad with good intentions. "

Bi Qigu has also heard the story of a little girl helping a butterfly break out of its cocoon. The general idea is that it is God’s arrangement for the butterfly to struggle out of the cocoon. After breaking out of the cocoon, it spreads its wings and flies.

It is similar to today's Biqigu.

Sakalski compares himself to the little girl in that story, which seems a bit out of character and a bit funny, but this frank and self-deprecating metaphor will not damage Sakalski's majesty and image in the slightest.

Bi Qigu even felt that Sakaski's back was taller, taller than ever before, and he also had a deeper understanding of Sakaski.

"So, if you want to stay, you can stay." Sakaski shook his head,

"Go for it with peace of mind, and go to fight with peace of mind."

"If you become depraved and crazy, I will kill you with my own hands; if you die in battle, I will collect your ashes with my own hands and take care of your family... This is the only thing Master can do for you."

This was Sakaski's promise, and it didn't sound like a big deal, but Bi Qigu felt relieved when he heard this.

He is afraid of death, he is even more afraid of being crazy, and the people he cares about will be hurt because of him, and he is even more afraid that his sister will not be taken care of... Sakaski solved these problems.

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Hikigu grinned and smiled happily.

"Maybe it's hell ahead," Sakalski hesitated to say, and stopped before he finished speaking, still wanting more.

"Hell, who isn't afraid?" Bi Qigu smiled and shook his head, but he felt very relaxed at the moment, "But it's useless to be afraid, so I have to beat my cowardice away."

"You always emphasize that you will be afraid." Sakaski was lost in thought. "It seems that you are not a strong person?"

"I was neither born to be strong nor to be strong, I was just the one who was forced to stand up."

Bi Qigu shrugged,

"If anyone thinks that I am taking the initiative to stand up and save the world, then he must be stupid, because I am not stupid."

"That's fine."

Sakalski shook his head,

"Who doesn't?"

"One or two feats can indeed be achieved with the blood in the heart and "try it once with the head covered", relying on a momentary impulse and without thinking to complete the heroic feat,"

"But after a lot of times, the glory is smoothed out by the parting, the blood is cooled by the secret, and the crisis makes it difficult for you to "try it once with your head covered"

…At that point, either break down, go with the flow, or have to stand up and be a hero. "

"So, in other words, when you choose "have to stand up", you are already a hero, whether it is factual or subjective, it is true and unquestionable...I find that you always seem to be a hero. It’s too good at underestimating yourself, which is not good.”

Sakaski seemed to suddenly praise Biqigu, and expressed his clear dissatisfaction that Biqigu always looked down on him.

"This... I don't think I've ever thought about it."

"Then you should think about it."

Hikigu thought about Sakaski's words.

He has never thought about it, and he has never felt that he can touch the distant word "great", but Sakalski has said so, he doesn't think Sakalski will lie and praise one people.

Perhaps the superposition of many factors will make Sakalski temporarily soft-hearted and make people run away, but Sakalski will praise a person against his will, unless the apple is no longer sleeping, the water will no longer flow down, unless the sun hits the west Come out, it is not cold in winter and not hot in summer.

... Could it be that he has inadvertently become someone who has some meaning to the world?

For the first time, Hikigu re-reflected and faced his own existence.

"Okay, this conversation is almost over... I didn't persuade you today, but you seem to have convinced me, you traitor."

Sakaski's voice was a bit harsh, but Bi Qigu didn't sound angry.

So the "rebel" Bi Qigu just scratched his head, grinned awkwardly and said nothing.

Sakaski still didn't turn around, he still looked up at the moon outside,

Bi Qigu is curious, is there any mystery in the starry sky outside today?

"there's one more thing."

Sakaski said, "Your opinions will be considered by the headquarters of the association, but it is hard to say what the final result will be. That is to say, although you have made a choice, the final result may not be exactly what you want to see. look."

"Of course, no matter what, the association will seriously consider your opinion, and in the end, it will probably consider it comprehensively and give a result that pleases everyone as much as possible... This happiness for everyone is not what you call happy for everyone."

Sakalski places particular emphasis on the latter sentence.

Bi Qigu lowered his head and smiled resignedly. As for whether he had any reflections in his heart, no one knew.

Sakaski finally understood that Hikigu is indeed very smart and often has a way to solve problems. He almost always tries his best to create a world where everyone is happy and everyone can laugh... But there is only one thing, this happy world The world, not including himself.

In Biqigu's plan, he himself always seems to be an insignificant and dispensable pawn who can be exchanged for money at any time.

... Having said that, Bi Qigu, who has such ambitions, dares to say that he is not a hero, but an ordinary person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?

Even Sakalski, who has a wealth of experience, has never seen such a contradictory "human being" after looking through decades of magnificent memories in his life.

"Then when will the result come out?" Hikigu asked humbly, and Sakaski's answer was actually within his expectation.

When the association found out that something was wrong with him, it would be nice to be able to ask his opinion and fully consider his opinion instead of directly ordering Hikigu to obey the transfer arrangement.

It's like if you are an ordinary person, you can still have a high degree of freedom, and the country will not care about you; but if you are a strategic scientist with a very important status, your daily arrangements and travels are often beyond your control .

If you want to travel without bodyguards and escorts, it will definitely not work;

When you see someone attacking your bulletproof car and want to get out of the car with confidence to see for yourself, someone will stop you;

If you want to die for your country in a desperate situation, countless people will die for you without hesitation, and then tell you: "You have to live well, because this country cannot live without you."

——When the importance of a person rises to a certain height, the issue of his safety is no longer in his hands... It is not impossible for him to die, but it is meaningless that he must not die, let alone To die knowingly.

The S-rank Bikigu, who has grown up to show off, entered the fourth stage, and saved the world three times, undoubtedly has such importance.

So it is very good that the association can consider his opinion.

Hikigu fully understands this, and is even a little fortunate... Sometimes you shed your blood for this certain organization, then at least this organization should not disappoint you, at least it has something that makes you feel worthy.In this way, after one dedication and sacrifice, you can choose to do it again.

And the Association is such a place.

Sakalski shook his head, "It may be soon, or it may take a while, who knows?"

"In short, when the results come out, it's time for your new job to come out.

"Your position was still under consideration. Who would have thought that you would kill Yamata no Orochi? With the superposition of the two credits, all previous considerations for your new position have to be overturned."

"You, you can always come up with something new... But you really don't let me down. I emphasize this sentence again because I really think so."

"I won't let you down in the future." Hikigu's eyes lit up, "Will I become the top executive of the association?"

"It depends on what level of high-level you are talking about."

"The kind at the level of the entire association?"

"Aren't you still asleep and talking to me awake?"

Sakaski didn't realize that Bi Qigu had a strong desire for power before, why is he like this now?

Hikigu scratched his head, and didn't flinch from Sakalski's slightly harsh words, but continued to ask with burning eyes and cautiously:

"Then, can you think about it, you can give me any position, any kind of job, even if it is lower, it doesn't matter.

But give me a salary that is benchmarked against a higher level? "

"..." Sakaski didn't expect to hear such a sentence from Hikigu's mouth, so he fell silent,

Coauthor You want a high position, want to become a big man with great power, just for that dead salary?

He bet Bi Qigu didn't even know how to embezzle and accept bribes.

Why is this person so weird.

"...Are you short of money?"

Just after saying this, Sakaski remembered Hikigu's family situation.

Before he got Bi Qigu's answer, he thought of a lot, and he seemed to understand a little bit.

"..."

So, he continued to look up at the stars, remained motionless, and silently listened to Bi Qigu behind him.

"Well, indeed,"

Hikigu nodded towards Sakaski's back, and his tone was quite relaxed. He didn't mean to pour bitter water on anyone, nor did he mean to be a little bit heavy. Instead, he felt like standing in the present and sighing about the past, but in fact it's all over.

"I used to be very short of money. It was really hard at that time. I didn't have any intuitive concept of money a long time ago. Maybe it was then that I became particularly greedy for money, mainly because I was afraid of being poor at that time."

"But it's enough for now. To be honest, joining the association not only changed my fate, but also changed my sister's fate... My fate should never get better, but my sister's fate is indeed true. It’s really a step in a good direction.”

There was a gratified and satisfied smile on Hikigu's face. When he mentioned his sister, he involuntarily deviated from the topic and started his fantasy about her sister's future.

For some reason, Sakaski didn't stop or remind him.

He and Hikigaya always seemed to meet after such an important time, and then had a long-lost conversation in a secret room.

This is their official report, but it always seems to be one of the few exchanges and heart-to-heart talks between their master and apprentice, pulling their distance closer.

——Sakalski didn't like it.

"If there is no accident, she can live the life she wants in the future."

There is deep happiness and satisfaction in Hikigu's eyes, as well as a lot of joy and sweetness.

"She can do whatever she wants without crossing the line of character, go to the university she wants, be who she wanted to be when she was a child, without having to work hard and be a waste like me

... If possible, I'd rather she never endure hardships for the rest of her life, and don't have to step into this society that doesn't suit her. "

"Until one day, when she grows up, she might bring some brat back home."

When Hikigu said this, his voice became a little angry and sullen again,

"If I was still alive at that time, I would definitely fix that stinky boy first. That feeling is terrible just thinking about it... But there is no way, girls have to grow up, she will not Maybe I will spend my whole life with my brother? Although I am indeed a sister-in-law."

Even in front of Sakalski, Biqigu risked being slapped to death by Sakalski, and frankly admitted that he was a sister-in-law.

Because only about the point of sister control, Bi Qigu has no intention of hiding from anyone.

——But the upright Sakaski still didn't turn around and slap Biqigu to death.

Thinking about it, I have kept my posture until now, and it is impossible for Sakaski, who has not turned around, to turn around because of such a trivial matter.
