4-03: -B: The Uncertainty of Good and Evil, the Anomaly That Cannot Be Shaken (1/4)

As unfortunate as it may be

Actions born from virtue would not necessarily bring fortune.

Just as ones pursuit of power born from the desire to repay gratitude could itself lead to the murder of ones very own benefactors, so could fleeing to avoid conflict negatively influence many regions, and just as so, the slaying of a monster to save another could result in the collapse of the balance of nations.

As unfortunate as it may be

Actions born from malice would not necessarily bring misfortune.

Those that plotted the resurrection of the evil god brought to life a destroyer that would hunt them.

Those that sought a princess they could control created an opportunity for their encounter.

And that who spread the knowledge to create life ended up saving the life of ______.

How miserable is the world.

How vain good and evil.

Is there no meaning to the will of man?

Is result everything?

Are the means that fail to produce result meaningless?

Is it human to bend to the ways of such a world? Is it human to resist?

Was there even an answer to begin with?

That which man can fathom alone is limited.

Be it good or evil, the process or the result, failure or success

In the end, perhaps everything is but an illusion of the pygmy that is man.

They who know little, who live their lives with different thoughts and answers, some of whom do not even possess those.

If one could know all of the history of the world and the people, all of the truths hidden behind everything and with ones own eyes behold the vanity of justice and evil across the millennia as though they were ones own memories, could such a person retain his ego?

He cannot. Be it his common sense, or morality, or sense of good and evil Everything would be crushed.

It was a strange story, really.

It was the history of humanity, yet it denied humanity itself.

At the same time, Shinichi was stocking up on calories in case something happened.

The location he chose for his little camp indeed left much to be desired, but that wasnt something that was high up in his list of priorities, and he really didnt care.

By the way, the ingredients and the skewers were prepared in advance by none other than the maids, so him eating like this was basically something they all acknowledged, but of course, none of them thought that he would so brazenly eat at a place like this.

Hamu, amu, all we did was cook it, and yet its so good!

Youko skillfully used her small paws to grab herself a stick and dug in herself.

Though her face was that of a beast, the emotions on her were all too easy to read.

Shinichi smiled at that, but he quickly became sullen.

I see Mnn, I wonder why. When Im with them, I feel like Im slowly turning into a useless man. I mean, I do kind of lean toward that, but I really dont want to become any more useless than I am now, Shinichi muttered as he finished his umpteenth stick for the day.

So good, he said in admiration as he licked his lips.

All hed asked from them was to prepare something that could be easily cooked, but what they sent him instead was a variety of food that have already been seasoned and prepared in various ways, such that a little cooking with the bonfire was enough to bring about a wealth of taste from them.

Above all, they seem to have somehow figured out his tastes and were able to prepare them accordingly.

What remarkable maids indeed.

He had accompanied them to cover up the murder of the Tenkorius, to monitor their education, and to fix Lilishas unhealthy new hobby, but he was currently experiencing a luxury when it came to food and bedding that hes never experienced since drifting into this world.

He was understandably happy, but at this rate, hell find it difficult to leave when the time came.

The food was just that good.

As for him actually starting to like them, that was something he intentionally put off his mind.

Am I being trained?

Fu fu, its the other way around, Master.

When those words slipped out of Shinichis mouth, his servant laughed and corrected him.

But he failed to understand what she was getting at, and he just tilted his head in confusion.

What is that supposed to mean?

They cant help themselves but take care of you Honestly, it makes me so jealous.
