Episode 190 May Remain (6)

Sometimes reality is worse than novels or dramas.

It was inevitable. There is nothing more irregular and crippled than the world.

“Do you think that coincidence is everything?”

The problem is when it needs an explanation.

It’s just that the time comes when we must dare to determine the cause and effect of something that happened as inevitably as fate and explain it.

“If you can explain a coincidence, do you think it would be a coincidence?”

But can we really explain it? Can you clearly describe something that happens without a reason and something that has no cause but has a result?

“Come prepared to have a conversation. “I have no intention of making a fuss to someone who has no intention of accepting it.”

Attributing reasons to coincidences is ultimately no different from the act of asking ‘why’.

In other words, it is a foolish act. There is a principle behind natural disasters, but there is no purpose, so it’s like calling it God’s wrath or something and causing an uproar.

“you...!”

In that regard, I hope you’ll stop blaming everything on me. You might be horrified, but I’m just as embarrassed.

“You said it was a coincidence?”

“Are you telling me to believe that!”

“Brother, you promised to talk.”

“I’m stretching it out because I don’t want to admit it.”

“I like to stretch...!”

Me indeed. If I had known it would be like this, I would have just... um...

wait. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there’s anything I can change.

cancer. It would be too much to say that crying in the street is wrong. I wasn’t the first to approach the child when I met him, and the subsequent developments were the same.

“Now let’s go back to our families! “Let’s hear their stories too!”

“is it so. Let’s go. “Usually, in something like this, you hear both sides of the story.”

“...Okay, let’s see.”

“Okay, whatever. Is there anything wrong with what I said? “If you don’t want to listen and are just stubborn, why don’t you just leave?”

“....”

So it’s not my fault. The situation and each person’s position were just bad.

...Maybe so.

“Let’s go. let’s go.”

“The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be for your family! So let’s go!”

Separately, if they go now and hear about the situation... won’t they even hear that I cried? That’s a little bit difficult.

“If you listen to their explanations, your misunderstanding will definitely be resolved.”

No, it’s very difficult...!

ruined!

“Danny! What would you do if you suddenly ran out like that? “You were worried!”

“What on earth did you say earlier... Oh, sir?”

Daniel opened the door with a slow hand. Then he saw people who had waited for him, even lighting precious candles.

These were his family members who remained on this earth.

“...I’m sorry for causing you worry.”

“If you weren’t hurt, that’s fine. It’s not like you don’t know that what you’re doing is dangerous... but please don’t do that next time.”

“yes.”

The concern they give is bitter and inevitably tender. Daniel smiled slightly at the warmth of kindness. It was warm.

“The people after that...?”

“Ah... these people...”

Then I was embarrassed again. This is because there was no way to know how to introduce the two people.

On the one hand, his position was too high, and on the other hand, it was not something that could be disclosed carelessly, and on the other hand, he did not know much about it.

“hello. It may be undeserved, but he is a person who works as a Heretic Questioner. “I’m somewhat sorry for visiting you late at night.”

Fortunately, others stepped forward before he did. Daniel just slightly moved out of the way.

“Please understand that I cannot reveal your name due to my job. “Please feel free to call me!”

“Ah, if you are a Heretic Questioner, you deserve it. “I completely understand.”

Devil worshipers sometimes curse people through their names.

Of course, curses cast by knowing only the name are very weak—to the point of being meaningless—and since they can be traced, actual cases are very rare, but... you don’t know what’s going on in the world.

This is especially true if you are in a position of direct conflict with the devil, like the Heretic Questioner. There is no harm in being careful.

It is not something that must be observed, and although there are people (like Daniel) who reveal their names to take advantage of it.

“It’s no different for us than usual. “I was so worried about that kid...”

“I just thank you for your understanding.”

“Me too... you can just call me an adventurer.”

“Yes, adventurer.”

Regardless, Daniel’s family did not bother to ask because they knew the circumstances. It was the end of a simple introduction.

“Please come inside first.”

“....”

Daniel also had no intention of raising any further doubts after hearing this defense and testimony.

I still don’t want to believe it, but... that’s literally just stubbornness. That was a problem he had to solve.

“...yes. “I think it was a misunderstanding on my part.”

Therefore, he answered while suppressing his instinctive disgust and anger. It was the moment when the incident that occurred as circumstances collided came to an end.

“Once the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no reason to stay any longer. I’m sorry for being late. “I’ll just go now.”

“Oh, me too... Thank you for your cooperation and I’m sorry for disturbing your sleep at night. “I hope you have a good night.”

“It’s no big deal. Is it okay for you to continue like this? “It’s late at night, but where are you staying...”

“It’s okay because we’re staying at a temple.”

Anyway, if the conversation is over, there is no reason to stay here any longer.

Deathbringer took the Inquisitor and prepared to leave. Berserk may have relayed it, but it was still too late to be any good.

“goodbye.”

“Come visit me anytime, Interrogator.”

“...I will see you off.”

The two left the house, receiving a send-off from Daniel’s family. Daniel also feels a sense of responsibility and is following along to a certain distance.

“I was sorry today.”

“Just apologize to me.”

“...Of course.”

“For your information, I’m not going to apologize for hitting first.”

“...It doesn’t matter.”

There is no need for such courtesy. Because once the ugly hair gets stuck, it doesn’t easily disappear. In the same vein, I don’t want to be involved again.

“...he.”

But it seemed like Daniel still had something to ask. Deathbringer stuck out his lips and picked his ear canal. Anyone could see that it was a bad attitude.

“He told me he didn’t know who he was. “How is he holding on? How is he feeling?”

However, Daniel was not an easy person either.

He steadfastly asked questions no matter what the Deathbringer did.

“What did that mean?”

It was a question to ask for something... that would help resolve his stubbornness.

“Why do I tell other people’s circumstances?”

“...That too.”

But it’s not absolutely necessary. I was also aware that his question was somewhat rude.

So Daniel obediently agreed and tried to step down. I didn’t know that it felt even worse to Deathbringer.

Something that should not be discussed carelessly, but something that I often wanted to appeal to know, was misfortune—engraved in the name of adversity and trials.

“But... you’re not the only one who lost family.”

“...!”

“Also, you have at least some relatives left... but for some people, not even that will be left.”

“...okay.”

Daniel lowered his eyes at the information he had overlooked or was not willing to face.

Because I had already experienced loss, but because I did not know the weight of the moment when I lost everything, I could not bear to say anything.

“...sorry.”

“Didn’t you tell me to do that to you?”

“I guess so.”

Daniel looked up at the dark sky and exhaled.

“I will definitely... apologize.”

The saying that once you let go of your ego and prejudice, you will see something broader, seemed to make a bit of sense.

“...There is one thing I would like to say separately.”

“what.”

“This was definitely my mistake. But don’t take what I said meaningless.”

“Are you telling me not to trust you? “Are you still saying that?”

“That’s not it... I just want you to remember that the devil is more cruel, wicked, and abominable than you can imagine.”

He cleared his throat and opened his mouth once again.

“I hope you never... look down on me.”

Then the stunned Inquisitor and Deathbringer looked at him. One side’s eyes are sparkling, and the other side’s eyes are like ‘Ooh, old man!’

“Don’t worry! “I know enough!”

“I know better than you, so don’t worry.”

“yes. Then... see you next time.”

Did his advice reach you or not? However, even if it is the latter, there is nothing we can do about it.

Just as Daniel only understood it after seeing all the evidence, it will be hard for them to understand until they face it.

“Please stay healthy.”

So, please realize your mistakes before you make them, or even if you make them, try to achieve enlightenment after making them at a level that is as manageable as possible.

Daniel prayed for those who were younger than him. It was the prayer of someone who had lived a little longer in the world.
