Chapter 39 Disqualification in the Human World
The snowstorm has not stopped.

But people have forgotten Masato Okawa.

What's ridiculous is that when he was alive, if he didn't show up for three or four days, some people in the tavern would start to wonder if he was taking his old friend's good clothes and valuable jewelry as money for drinks.

In short, the conversation on the wine table will basically have the presence of Masato Okawa.

But after he died.

His name disappeared much faster than the snow melted.

Perhaps the existence of an alcoholic will not be remembered by people, but his death seems to be a talking point.

In between pushing the cup and changing the cup, I comment on his life with an extremely regretful attitude.

This is what everyone loves to do.

but……

Different from others.

No one will say a word of regret for him, and no one will say that he died well.

In short, everyone kept secret.

Kitajima knows.

This should be the last bit of goodness left in this group of people.

When Okawa Masato was still alive.

They stood in the sun, stood on the commanding heights of morality, and shot at him recklessly.

Because they know that no matter how absurd or outrageous what they do, someone will drag them down.

What's wrong with getting drunk? Look at that bad guy Okawa Masato.

What's wrong with spending some money, look at that bad guy Okawa Masato...

It's just that now that the bottom-up person dies, they have become the bottom, the representative group of rotten people.

A change of status, now it's someone else's turn to stand in the sun and shoot at them.

……

"Some people say that the real death is not leaving this world, but being completely forgotten." Oshima Kazuya also sighed. There will be some regrets more or less.

Bei Daoju shook his head: "I think Mr. Okawa will not really die, but will be remembered."

"Are you referring to the bottom line?" Oshima Kazu also knew what Bei Daoko meant: "But most people in this era will be like this."

"To be condemned by a few is called immorality."

"What about the majority?"

"That's called justice." Bei Daoju crushed a piece of ice, keeping his eyes on the ground: "So what everyone believes must be right?"

"I've heard of such a thing before."

"During the glacial period, everyone stayed on land and was very afraid of the glaciers. They thought it was impossible to go there, and going there was tantamount to a crime.

But there is a small group of people who don't think so, they go to the glacier, cut through the thick ice, and fish.

The group of people who ran to the glacier caught fish and had food to eat, so they survived. On the contrary, those who were on land, because they tabooed the glacier, had no food source, and a large part of them starved to death. "

"Seeing that the people who went fishing survived, the people on the land began to try to go to the glacier to cut through the ice.

No doubt, there are fish to eat.

So more and more people think that land is unlucky, and they all ran to the glacier.

But the same people who had fished holes in the glacier in the first place returned to land.

Still being laughed at.

Then... the glacier had too many holes dug, and the ice cracked, and none of the people in the group survived. "

"So, you want to say that the truth is in the hands of a few?" Kazuya Oshima asked.

"No, I just want to say that there is always a minority and a majority, there is no right or wrong, only different choices."

"Maybe Mr. Okawa is right, maybe he is wrong, but those are not important, I think what I respect is his choice.

Those who can make their own choices and go on firmly are brave. "

Kitajima Koma turned around and ran into the house to deliver a few more bottles of wine. When he came out again, he saw Oshima Kazuya standing under the eaves with a thoughtful expression.

Seems to be thinking about what matters in general.

After a while, he suddenly asked: "Teacher Bei Dao, what do you think... what is the meaning of life?"

When Bei Dao Kou heard this question, he suddenly chuckled, and said under Oshima Kazuya's puzzled eyes, "Why should life be meaningful?"

"To be alive is to be alive, do you have to give something strange?"

"But……"

"If sometimes, adding some strange things, it will become not pure enough."

Oshima Kazu also felt that Kitajima Koma's point of view was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was so strange, it always sounded like...sophistry.

When Kitajima Koma entered the house again and then came out again, Oshima Kazuya said goodbye and prepared to go home.

Maybe he felt melancholy tonight because of the sudden death of Masato Okawa, so he drank a few more glasses of wine.

Even the winter night could not cover up the melancholy in his body.

The smell of mourning for life spread from his body to the surroundings.

The bleakness full of dead trees and fallen leaves.

However, Bei Daoju stopped him.

"I think there's another book coming."

Kazuya Oshima regained his spirits, and the feeling of bleakness disappeared, replaced by piercing eyes: "What?"

"It's a new book. Oshima-sensei said that there are a lot of people who are obsessed with luxury and money, and many people are still intoxicated by it to find excuses for themselves, right?"

"That's right." Oshima Kazu also nodded.

"Then this story tells the process of a person's downfall."

Oshima Kazuya's instinctive reaction was Okawa Masato, but then he saw Kitajima Koma reach out and catch one or two snowflakes.

"It is said that Mr. Okawa is the backstop of many people, but he left, so many people have lost the backstop, and it seems a bit depressed.

Then I want to write a cover story to let them know that no matter how bad they are, there will still be someone to help them cover them. "

"Then what is the name of this story?"

For some reason, Kazuo Oshima also had a bad feeling.

This guy……

Because looking at it from his angle, Kitajima Koma's face was very gloomy.

Dark and a little scary.

"Mr. Okawa told me before that he is a bad person, and he even said that he is not worthy of being a person.

That night, right here, he said something to me, saying that the thing he regrets most in his life is that he has become a human being.

As a human being, he felt very sorry.

After that, he stumbled, howled and left while running. "

"Well, I remember that night, everyone was calling him something wrong, but I didn't expect him to pass away within a few days."

"So, I think..."

Kitajima was silent for a moment.

Then, in Oshima Kazuya's questioning eyes, he silently turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.

Lips move.

Spit out a few words from it.

"Human disqualification……"
