Yukioka Institute. Four people in the living room, True, Tired, Zuo and Ayane, were trying to get breakfast while watching the news on TV.
There is no sign of the Lord of the Institute. I am absent for the time being because I am going to an international Mad Scientist conference that will take place shortly.
"Another indiscriminate murder was committed by the followers of the Megalodon of Thin Happiness. Now I'm in middle school. Within the third grade classroom of Euthanasia Sixth Junior High School in Euthanasia City, a boy who had arrived in the Megalodon of Thin Happiness randomly shot a submachine gun and shot four students. The perpetrator, the boy, also committed suicide shortly afterwards."
"Again."
Zuo, who brings the meal in an apron, frowns when he hears what the news is about.
"According to the stories of students of the same grade, the boys who were killed have been bullying the perpetrator's boys in a group from day to day, and the perpetrator's boy has been out of school for two months -"
"It would be lamentable to see more people on the road if they were to die anyway, and more people with that idea in Japan."
Even though he was originally a merchant of death, Zuo hated bloody incidents and the kind of heinous crimes more than human beings.
"Don't count on us. You're just fine to avenge yourself."
Rinse the coffee, the truth says.
"It wouldn't be splendid at all"
"I joked about it. No, ironic."
True to return in a faint voice than usual to a zodiac that points its gaze as if to blame.
"Until a while ago, it was rare for Japanese people to have that idea and implement it, such as taking someone on the road if they were going to commit suicide. At the point of thinking about suicide, you may also lose your temper like that. That's a change from ten years ago."
And, Ayane. The other three also understood what the ten years before she uttered it referred to. The post-mortem world and circular reincarnation have been scientifically demonstrated, therefore, the idea of taking life lightly has arisen in the condition that if it is hard, you should die and reset, and the number of suicides has increased, as well as the number of homicides.
Yesterday, a religion emerged that further spearheaded the tide and preached that I should die doing what I wanted to do without being captured by law or ethics in the world. That is the megalodon of thin fortune.
If those who failed to adapt well to society and became anti-social or disgusted, the doctrine would be fascinating, with the mundane commentators all over the television, and many of the viewers snorted. The same goes for the four of us here.
"I'm already terrorized before Liberation Day, and I wish I'd just crushed a religious group like this"
True says what is said scattered on TV and online. That's what everyone thinks. Already this month alone, there have been eight impulsive crimes committed by the faithful of Thin Happy Megalodon, who are wary that simultaneous terrorism will take place on the day of liberation they await, causing public noise. The wind is strong as to why neither the police nor the government will move before that happens.
"You shouldn't seem to crush it by standing up. That permission is not granted. It appears that those who grant permission are already breathing in the Order."
Ayane, who had infiltrated the interior of the church until a few days earlier and conducted an investigation, said.
"Is there no limit to suppressing politicians and high-ranking officials? You're making a scene so far, and you're actually committing suicide attacks. I can't believe we don't apply breaking laws, and we don't even suppress patriarchs and executives with emergency arrests"
And, true. That's also what the media are screaming about. If a massive terrorist attack were carried out against a group that we know will cause terrorism, it would be dangerous for them to do so.
"You can't suppress bribery or intimidation, but if you're manipulating it with technique, there's no limit. Even if this were not the case, it would not be possible at this time to apply anti-sabotage legislation. So much so that we were even dropped off against religious terrorism at the end of the twentieth century."
To the true question, Ayane answers that.
"Politicians and high-ranking officials... must be strictly guarded by the wizards of the government to avoid easy exposure to mental interference and attacks... but strong enough to defeat their spiritual defenses..."
And, tired.
"You've infiltrated the Megalodon of Thin Happiness, and often you've returned safely without losing your memory or your life."
Zuo said to Ayane.
"Maybe it's just me. It is the fate of the Patriarch, Princess Midori. You're one of Shizuno's people."
Ayane answered Zo that way and then looked at the tiredness sitting in the front.
"Assassins have been released by various forces to the denomination in an attempt to kill the Patriarch before Liberation Day. If you kill the patriarch, the technique can be solved and the police can move in an organized way. I challenged the Patriarch not only to try the surgery, but also to stop its rampage, but without strength. Therefore, I asked my father to infiltrate a church and stop the patriarch Midori Shizuno."
The tired meal movement stops. Ayane had a serious eye for tiredness, but tiredness does not try to keep her gaze together while nagging.
That's what Ayane heard once, even on the day she visited the institute.
But tired didn't reply. I also know why Ayane is not responding well to tiredness, and then I ask her as if to push it further.
"The headquarters of religious groups... people come and go... right?
I'm tired of asking about that with my nagging.
"Naturally. After a rather enormous facility, I had a hard time finding a place for Patriarch Princess Midori."
To the immediate Ayane sound, Tired leaves his hands on the meal for a little while before
"Let it go...... As for Shizuno... I don't have the right to help such a fool..."
"Is that what you say just because you don't want to go anywhere with a lot of people?
I was stunned by tired words, and the truth penetrated.
"Didn't your father change his mind? If you leave it alone, a lot of people could die. by those beneath Shizuno Gate."
"Ugh..."
Ayane speaking in a harsh tone. I'm tired of chewing my lips off nagging and roaring with an unpleasant face.
"Okay...... you're right"
Eventually he exhaled as he gave up, and Tired looked up and saw the truth sitting next to him.
"True, I want you to hang out for a while..."
Everyone on the spot could have predicted what to say next.
"I want you to infiltrate Megalodon... with me."
"Why not? You can go with Ayane."
True to tired pleadings, without bite.
"I'm ashamed to go alone... accompany my daughter or whatever..."
Tired of answering with a twist.
"You're embarrassed enough to ask me to accompany you."
Though I said that, I truly believe that it is not revealed as it is. Tired will never go alone, and he's unlikely to act with Ayane. Conversely, if you go out with yourself, you're going.
"Well, I'm free, okay?"
To a true word, tiredness and Ayane simultaneously exhale relief. Look at that, he's definitely a parent and a child. Oh, that's funny. True and Zuo.
"Thank you"
"It's a little whimsical."
True said so to the deep, head-dropping Ayane. There was also the nuance of the helpboat against Ayane, but it is also true that I agreed with the mild feeling of being interested because I am free.
Who could have predicted at this point that this true whim and care would greatly shape the true future fate? If I had made the choice not to accompany you here tirelessly, Truth might not have been able to accomplish a single purpose afterwards.
