56 – Irene Justia (2)

* * * *

Following the gaze of Irene’s red eyes, the rebellion burns red and fiercely aims at me.

Booung-

But this time too, the flames of wrath did not reach me and simply cut through the air.

Her flames and eyes blazed towards me again.

Tsk. Conflicting with Irene in this way was a development that he did not want, so he lightly clicked his tongue and looked around.

To be precise, Ian, the main character of this work.

I couldn’t touch the ideology of this stupid character, Irene Justia.

The biggest problem was that she, who had the idea that chivalry was the most important value, was an indispensable scapegoat for the main scenario that Ian would experience later.

I don’t really like her, and I don’t remember all the details because she had the exact opposite idea, but I remembered the big picture of the process of her death.

I tried my best not to affect her.

I tried not to have a relationship with her.

So that she doesn’t take the time to relate to Ian Cedric, and that it doesn’t affect her character as much as possible.

Because she was a being who had to die in the scenario.

No, to be precise… We considered that the death of Irene Justia would be of great help in defeating demons in the scenario.

She built a relationship with Ian before graduating from the academy, but the first step to her death was falling in one-sided love for him without her knowledge.

After graduating from the academy, she was unaware of her love affair and returned to her family.

Right after that, he succeeded in becoming the head of the Justia family, which has a high reputation as an excellent knight family, with the title of the academy’s top graduate.

But what kind of world is this? Let’s not forget that this world is a hellish world where all the heroines except for the main heroine go through exhaustion and get lost.

Naturally, Irene Justia had a arranged marriage without being aware of her love affair, had a child with a man she did not love, and later reunited with Ian, so I regret the past bitterly… Such a peaceful and extremely impoverished world will never come.

The incident begins when a letter arrives at the Justia family in the mid-to-late half of the novel, after Irene Justia has established herself as the head of the household.

Upon hearing the news that Ian Cedric was captured by an alchemist on the Mine side during the war with Mine, Irene Justia leads the knights of the Justia family to join the front line to save Ian Cedric.

Despite her own bestial senses clamoring not to go there,

Her thought that it was natural to take risks if a former colleague asked for help, and her love for Ian Cedric, who had not yet been aware of it, won the victory in the inner conflict with the senses.

Irene Justia, who joined the frontlines, took the role of distracting the enemy by leading the knights of the Justia family and attacking the front, following Selina’s advice to carry out a diversionary operation to save Ian Cedric.

However, what could happen to this, the demons gave up on the kidnapped Ian and sent all their troops to the front where Irene was.

Even at the time of serialization, opinions were divided among readers about the reason, but the reason was soon found out.

Predicting that if they continue like this, all the knights of the Justia family will die, she orders them to retreat.

In such a chaos where all kinds of screams and shouts are making a mess, when everyone retreats, Irene Justia throws herself at the group of demons chasing them with a grip on the reverse.

The idea that you can’t make knights weaker than yourself a scapegoat in order to survive… was it

A handful of knights around her, noticing that she was charging alone, followed her, but of course the result was disastrous.

The moment when all the knights who followed her died, and only she was left alone.

Fw-

The poison that Mine Botis had shot at her spread throughout her body, and her body could no longer move as she wished.

What came to her soon after was a disgraceful death that she could not stand because she pursued a knight.

The demons who succeeded in overpowering her dragged her while tying her to the human side of the front line, and at that moment, Irene appeared in front of Ian, who arrived at the human side camp.

Irene, with her entire body tied up, waiting for the blade to strike her.

The moment her death approached, Irene became aware of her love affair.

Even though another purpose of life appeared to her, who had only been pursuing chivalry for her own thoughts, the remaining lifespan given to her was only a minute or so.

At that time, she began to fear death for the first time, and she wished to convey her feelings to Ian and face the end rather than just facing death calmly and honorably.

-Ian Cedric… I… !

squeak. The confession, like her will, did not come to an end and crumbled into the air and disappeared.

It wasn’t enough for Irene’s severed head to roll down the curved wall soon after, and Ian’s eyes captured Irene’s remaining body as Botis threw it as food for the monsters.

-You punk!!!

It is at this point in the story that Ian first uttered abusive language.

Yes, anyone who has seen it this far would have been able to infer it.

That Irene Justia is the victim of the main character awakening event that must be sacrificed.

In fact, from the point Ian faced death in front of his eyes, Ian begins to radiate a different power.

If you think about it now, it might have been because Ian’s attitude and values when it came to battles and various incidents had changed.

The inside story of the day of the two operations, which we will learn later, and the after story.

Irene’s misery was the purpose, so even Ian, who led the demons who guarded Ian and joined the front line of the Justia family’s invasion, became Ian’s opponent.

After recovering the curse from Aim, Ian found Irene’s grave that way and offered the curse, swearing.

-The next time you visit, I will bring you the head of the demon god. certainly.

It was the point at which the character Ian Cedric first harbored the feeling of hatred.

Of course, I was possessed by this place before I saw the ending, so I didn’t know if I actually brought the demon’s head or not.

Some may say that my decision is too cruel.

A situation in which Irene does not use any numbers even though she knows that she will die a terrible death.

But I didn’t make this decision because I liked it.

I don’t know exactly when and how the Demon God fell. Because I was possessed right before I saw the ending.

In such a situation, save Irene and prevent Ian’s awakening? This choice is too great even if the risk factor is great.

Besides, wasn’t I the one who decided Irene’s death? If I were to blame, I had to blame the writer who made that fate.

Me, Lily, and the uncertainty of the future of this world, and Irene, who hadn’t had much conversation, survived.

Even without weighing it on a scale, the choice I had to make was clear.

Have you ever heard of the trolley dilemma?

In other words, it is the name of a psychological and ethical experiment called the coal mine cart problem.

A track with 5 people, a track with 1 person, and a switch that can change the direction of the track are in my hand… An experiment explaining a psychological dilemma based on the assumption that

The gist of the experiment was this.

When thinking about very heavy issues such as death, the two values that humans judge as important are how directly my choices are related to the deaths of others and how inevitable their deaths are.

From that point of view, my choice is extremely reasonable. It is a choice that does not go against the choice that the majority chooses as ethical.

If Irene’s sacrifice is prevented, there is a high possibility that Ian will not wake up.

Even if you awaken, you will have to sacrifice someone in a similar way… Then, isn’t it the beginning of the story?

But what if you block the awakening? Then, it will take a long time for Ian to defeat the demon, and the number of people around me who are sacrificed during that time will be more than Irene alone.

So, I can say that I didn’t make a choice. In other words, he took his hand off the switch to change the line.

Her death has nothing to do with me, it is not a decision made by me, and it is very inevitable.

I’m not a righteous warrior like Ian, nor even a brave knight like Finn. He is just a human being who pursues a selfish life.

It was also the case that I continued to distance myself from Irene.

No matter how diabolical bitches with opposite tendencies, if you’re with them, you’re going to hate them. like Grace.

If so, will I be able to just let go and witness the situation when Irene, whom I have fallen in love with, dies in front of my eyes?

Will she be able to completely escape the guilt of waiting for that future even though she was the only one who knew that she would die?

It doesn’t matter if you’re being searched for in front of my eyes or tortured by someone you don’t even have a relationship with.

The life I’ve lived has been too hard to live with empathy for each and every one of those people.

I was the one who lived a pitiful life just like them.

That’s why I was able to selfishly take the lives of the wicked for my own future, and I was able to judge the deaths of people who had nothing to do with me extremely rationally.

It can be said that the situation I am in right now is a situation that is no different from a single person who can’t do anything.

You shouldn’t have an honest conversation with her. Don’t even try to correct her.

Avoid eye contact. Fight the game ASAP and avoid getting involved with her.

Even so, he shouldn’t fight Irene head-to-head and win. should not lose Either way, it would be a trigger for me to connect with her.

You must be very cowardly, mocking her, mocking her, playing with her and winning.

To the extent that I can think that I do not want to mix words with the human group again.

That was also why I spoke of her injustice once again. In the hope that she would show me the perfect nursery rhyme.

“Don’t force that idiot chivalry on me, it’s very nuisance.”

He said so in a very low voice that only she could hear.

and.

Enemy-

With the sound of Irene biting her lips in anger, I could see a gap in her movements.
