Part 2 Episode 13: A and Herbs.

“…I can understand why the Alchemist couldn’t express you well.”

As I was walking down the street, I put on a puzzled look at Ei’s sudden words.

Of course, because of the mask, I couldn’t see his expression.

“You’re not good. You’re not evil when you say that. You’re cruel, but you show the minimum amount of mercy. You’re outspoken, but you care for your people terribly.”

…..I got it right

“So I thought you might have your own strong convictions. But you just won the fight by bringing about the opposite of your belief that Uncle Ismael won. Obscure. What the hell are you doing?”

I looked at Ei for a while.

After the revenge was over, Ay took a closer look at his surroundings again.

I thoroughly analyzed the character ‘I’.

“..That’s right. I’m neither righteous nor illegal. I’m just struggling to survive. Faith? I can give up or keep those things for my survival. The most important thing is my survival. Justice. To carry out the law, to do illegal things. You have to be alive to do it all.”

I still struggle.

To prevent the coming disaster.

To survive.

To maintain a happy daily life with my family.

I struggle today as well.

After I finished my words, Ay quietly nodded his head.

“I see. You are similar to me, yet different. Maybe you match me…”

Ay turned his head and looked at the Peacekeeper’s headquarters, where the smoke was rising.

“…..”

Ay pondered for a moment, then he turned his head towards me.

“…My vengeance is complete. Your operations have all been successful. I will never forget how you helped me. But…”

Ei pondered, then he said.

“I don’t think I can walk with you. I will walk by my convictions. Just as Uncle Ismael said.”

I stayed still for a moment and then shrugged.

“I never suggested it.”

“…..?”

I have never really invited anyone to join my family.

It’s more helpful to me to have E go into the vendetta in the first place.

There is no particular reason to hold onto it.

“What, what! Didn’t I mean to invite you?!”

“Why am I. I’m not even the ‘one who holds the harpoon’ anymore.”

As if he was shocked, Ay puffed up his cheeks and glared at me.

“Huh! That’s it! Now I won’t go in even if I beg you to come in!”

..If you begged, you would have listened?

Ey snorted as she turned her back.

I smiled and tried to say something.

……!

…..?!

And Ai and I sensed something at the same time.

Something is flying toward me at high speed.

“Damn… Damn…!”

I tried to vent my greed.

It flew towards me faster than that.

At this speed, she’s far stronger than most magical girls…!

In the end, the white figure flew towards me as if it were being shot.

“Obscue…!”

Ei noticed and tried to do something, but it was too late.

The white figure hugged me and rose up.

Are you trying to drop it from a high place…!”

I immediately took out my arrogance and tried to hear it.

…By the way.

“It’s been a while! Mr. Obscue!!!”

Snow Fox greeted me with a bright smile.

…?

“…Snow…Fox?”

“Right! You remembered!”

A grinning Snow Fox picked me up with his ears perked up and his tail spinning like a propeller.

“I was surprised to see you appearing on TV all of a sudden. Are you not hurt anywhere?”

“..Ah…No…”

I’m embarrassed.

How did you know where I was?

“hehehe. That’s good. I thought you were hurt…”

In an instant, the ambient temperature became as hot as a fire.

“I was worried.”

“..Not hurt. Calm down.”

“I’m not mad.”

Snow Fox shook his head in embarrassment.

“..Just…I like it. hehehe.”

I couldn’t help but panic.

All I did was treat him.

“I don’t care if you’re a villain or not. You’re a good person.”

…Good.

“…I may not be very good.”

“I know that too. But that doesn’t really matter. Whether you’re evil or good. That’s one thing.”

The snow fox laughed and buried his face in my chest.

“You saved me.”

” ……….”

It’s embarrassing.

Confused.

The owner.

?

Suddenly, Oman, who had been quiet, started talking.

Who?

…A magical girl. You’re on my side, don’t show your teeth.

With my sister

Me.

Leave it.

Wind.

Is it?

….What?

What do you mean?

..It’s not like that. In the first place, I have no intention of dating you. Not even human

…Human.

If the form.

Being.

Are you going?

??

I shook my head and closed the window in my heart.

Now that I’m at this point, I’ve gotten used to it and figured out how to block conversations.

“…Ah. I want to stay like this longer.”

For a while, he buried his face in my chest…I don’t know why. Breathing heavily but deeply, the Snow Fox raised his head and began to descend.

“..Mr. Obscue!!!”

As I started to descend, I saw Ei.

“See you later. I’ve got something to do, so I think I’ll have to go.”

With a small whisper in my ear, the snow fox dropped me and immediately flew away.

“Are you okay?!”

Ay, who hurriedly ran, supported me.

“..It’s okay…Just a little embarrassed…”

I grabbed my motion sickness head and struggled to stand upright.

How did Snow Fox become like that?

…Come to think of it, it’s my fault. sh*t.

I rubbed my hair, frowning.

Changing the future has these side effects. Keep in mind.

I regained my balance and calmed Ey down.

“I’m fine.”

“…Ehh. I get it. Bonnie, that magical girl must be part of your harem. That’s amazing. To be a villain and yet to be a magical girl.”

“…Not what I meant.”

“Yes. I heard the human pheromone.”

…Was A’s personality like this originally?

I looked at Ai with a little bit of her doubt.

And Ei, who received my gaze, shook her hand as if she was tired of it and said.

“I don’t want to go into your harem, so don’t look at me like that.”

“..I never suggested it. And I don’t have a harem. I’m busy surviving, so where is the time to make something like that?”

“..Well, I can tell just by looking at the number of people in your family.”

“………”

This is difficult to refute.

When I didn’t argue, Ey smiled slightly and said.

“It’s kind of relieved that the revenge is over. I think she’s also found her lost energy and sense of humor.”

“..I liked you more in the past.”

“Then I can’t even go back. I have no intention of entering your harem.”

“Damn it.”

I cursed briefly and looked up at the sky.

“…So. Are you going to go into a vendetta?”

When I said that, Ey looked at me in surprise.

“How did you know?”

“Vendetta ultimately seeks ‘just revenge’. It’s not like a villain. That’s why I didn’t become my target during the 2nd Back Alley War. And the place where the compass called your conviction points is infinitely closer to justice. Isn’t it?”

Ay nodded slowly.

“I was given the memory of Uncle Ishmael. Uncle Ishmael was far from justice. So am I. Justice doesn’t sit with me now. But I will live in the dark and look for the light. That’s what I’ve decided.”

I quietly listened to Ei’s story and said.

“Our lives are not cartoons that only children watch on TV. Our lives are picaresque. There is no perfect good. There is no perfect evil. But if you make those choices.”

I looked at Ei.

She looked like a young lady in her twenties, but since she received Ishmael’s memories, she would no longer be an ordinary twenties.

“Survive by any means and get as close to the darkness as possible. People struggle to get through the darkness to the light. But that’s not a good way to get close to the light.”

From noble mtl dot com

Neither light nor darkness can exist without each other.

As you can see from this.

“Ironically, the closest thing to light is darkness. You can tell by lighting a candle in a dark place.”

“…I understand.”

Ay nodded her head and looked at her abruptly at the floor.

There was a weed growing there.

You managed to stay out of the fight.

A looked at the floor for a while.

“…She had a dream.”

” ? “

“It was a strange dream. Her family became a pile of stones and talked to her. Among them, her mother was a grass that grew out of a pile of stones. That too… Her mother’s favorite ‘herb’.”

I listened to Ei in silence.

“…Now I’m going to live another life. I’ll need a new name for that.

A looked at me as if he had made up his mind.

A firm determination was planted in her eyes.

“Herb was once just a weed. That’s why her vitality is astounding. I’ll live like you said.”

…Huh.

So that’s how the name came about.

A smiled broadly and introduced his new name again.

“Call me A(A)Hub.”

“…hahahaha.”

Let’s finish introducing AHerb.

Suddenly, a light rose from her only remaining hand.

Like a herb with tenacious vitality.

With the scent of the sea.

Infused with the scent of whale blood.

The captain’s ship of the same name as hers.

A pequod rose from the light and landed in her hand.

“… Huh?”

She, too, stared at the pequod in surprise.

A new ‘harpooner’ is born.
