Chapter 1026 Girls’ Night Talk

 For Duanmuhuai, it was easy to eliminate these evil spirits. Not only that, he also got to know the hot girl Aiko.

Hmm, it’s also a big plus.

After that, Aizi seemed to have become interested in Duanmu Huai. In addition, Duanmu Huai was very skilled and generous, so she took the initiative to ask Duanmu Huai to the hotel several times. Duanmu Huai naturally wouldn't refuse this. To be honest, he quite liked this kind of relationship that didn't involve too many emotions.

 Naruse Mio and Mari have a good relationship with Duanmu Huai, so Duanmu Huai will naturally not attack them easily. After all, for Duanmu Huai, Mary is his important companion. As for Naruse Mio... he sees her as his lovely sister.

 To put it bluntly, the relationship between several people is quite complicated, so Duanmuhuai doesn't want to make it more complicated.

Like Aiko, it’s quite simple. Go out for a date, have a meal, go to a hotel, and give you some pocket money. Then it was like "Uncle, see you next time", it was simple and neat, without any trouble or entanglement. From Duanmuhuai's point of view, this is pretty good.

As for why Aizi, who was clearly a high school student, would come out to do such a thing, Duanmu Huai didn't ask, and Aizi didn't tell him either. After all, they all came out to do this, so there must be something going on. But Duanmuhuai is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's interesting. Duanmuhuai once heard a joke before, saying that Hong Kong's fashionable women find guests from the mainland the most interesting. Every time after things were over, the other party would sit there and smoke a cigarette to persuade her not to go out and do such things at such a young age...

Duanmuhuai is not that stupid. After all, you are like one of those waitresses in bars. You may also have to sit in bars because of coercion from gangs or debts from your parents. But those who hunt for wild food on the roadside like Aizi are basically doing it voluntarily. As for why they do this... Aizi won't tell her, and Duanmu Huai will not ask.

Besides, even if you ask, you can’t help but if someone casually makes up a pitiful story about his parents being homeless and wandering for a living, right?

 And after Duanmu Huai had a way to pass the time, the days passed quickly. Soon it was a week later, and it was time for the duel between Nakasai Furukaori and Kosaka Rina.

Duanmu Huai did not show up this time. He knew that he had a strong sense of intimidation. If he were present, others might think he was the one who forced him. So Duanmu Huai only learned what happened from Mary.

 Putting down the teacup in her hand, Mary looked at Duanmuhuai curiously, and the latter chuckled.

"It's not nonsense. Just think about it and you will know that Reina Kosaka will definitely go all out. If she can't show her own strength, doesn't it prove that the rumor that Taki takes care of her is true? Reina Kosaka again She’s not stupid, plus she’s very protective of Taki, so she definitely won’t give in. Then does Nakasai Kokaori admit that her skills are not as good as others?”

 But once you turn it into reality...it feels a little complicated.

"I see……"

"Yes... Teacher Taki was also quite mean. After the two of them finished playing, he directly asked Nakaseko if she planned to play a solo. Then Nakaseko was silent for a long time, and finally gave up the solo. And Kosaka also asked Nakaseko The classmate apologizes and this matter is over."

 Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

I have to admit that, simply as a novel, it is quite interesting.

 “Okay, that’s enough for this boring thing.”

Duanmu Huai also knew that if he really showed up, it might be like what Kato Hazuki said. Students from other schools would be so scared that they would not be able to play when they saw him. However, for Duanmu Huai, who has blood duck stealth skills, it is not a problem to find a place to hide secretly.

Hearing Mary's answer, Duanmu Huai snorted softly.

“Sure enough, this is the result, so I knew there would be no problem. It’s a waste of time for a bunch of brats to do things out of boredom.”

“The next step is the official competition... I hope these brats won’t let me down.”

Duanmuhuai is busy here, and Naruse Mio and Rias are not idle either. The most important thing they have to do every day is to read the "biographies" written by Mary.

He can hide in even the women's changing room without being noticed!

Even though Duanmuhuai has no such interest.

　　Putting down the book in her hand, Rias frowned, staring at the cover and thinking. Now it seems that the core policy of the Tribunal is human supremacy - this kind of doctrine itself is not unfamiliar to Rias. After all, there are similar angel or demon supremacy, and the core is the same. They believe that their own race is the most superior and other races are completely inferior to them.

 “Kosaka Reina-san is still responsible for the trumpet solo.”

 “Mr. Duanmu, do you want to come to the scene?”

 The final result...

 It's just that...the Tribunal's approach is too extreme even from the perspective of the most extreme radicals in the demon world.

“Of course I will go, but I won’t appear in front of you, just do your best.”

 “Mr. Duanmu is so confident in Mr. Kosaka?”

From the book, it can be seen that the only criterion for the Inquisition to distinguish each other is the skull. As long as the skull is human, it can be preserved and saved. But as long as the skull is not human, whatever you want will be destroyed. In particular, Rias was deeply impressed by the actions of the Inquisition in the Mass Effect trilogy.

You must know that the Salarians, Asari and Turians are just a different race from humans, but because of this, the Inquisition decisively abandoned them and even allowed the Reapers to exterminate them. They watched the fire from afar, and finally came out to fight the Reapers to the death, and finally defeated them.

To be honest, seeing this, Rias just felt very incomprehensible. After all, if all this is true, then no matter how she looks at it, she feels that the power of all races should be united to fight the Reapers together. After all, the opponent's target is all life, not just aliens.

How confident is the Inquisition in its own strength that it would rather use this method than cooperate with alien races?

But it’s okay...

Thinking of this, Rias touched her hair and smiled bitterly.

 Fortunately, most of the demons in the demon world are considered humans or subhumans according to the standards of the Tribunal, so there is no need to worry that they will attack indiscriminately...

 “Senior Rias, have you finished reading?”

At this moment, Naruse Mio, who was holding a large tome and chewing on it, saw Rias put down the book in her hand and asked in surprise, while Rias nodded.

"Yes, I have to say that Miss Mary's writing is really good... To be honest, I do have a deeper understanding of the existence of the Tribunal... What about you?"

"me……"

Hearing Rias's question, Naruse Mio frowned and stared at the book in front of him. After a while, he spoke awkwardly.

“I think…there are many enemies here, and they are not bad people at all…”

 For Naruse Mio, this kind of reading experience is really rare. Generally speaking, the enemies of the protagonist in the book are either extremely vicious or are forced to do bad things, but no matter what, they must have done bad things, so they became the enemies of the protagonist.

But Mary’s novels are different. She always writes from a very neutral and objective standpoint. Therefore, in Mary’s writing, other races are not evil or barbaric, and there are only two reasons for them to be killed by the Inquisition.

 First, their skulls are not human. Second, they pose a threat to human existence.

 To sum up, they must die.

 Simple, direct, clear and concise, just like 1+1=2.

 What Naruse Mio remembers most is the little ghoul girl. She just wanted to live happily with her parents, but unfortunately, she was a man-eating ghoul, so there was only one way to die.

 If it were Mio Naruse herself, she wouldn't know what to do.

　　If a young girl was in front of her, Naruse Mio would definitely not be able to do anything. But the book also makes it very clear that a ghoul can only survive by eating humans, so if you don’t kill her, then she can only survive by eating humans... Even if she insists on supporting the dead, who can guarantee that, Why don't her descendants attack humans?

 From this perspective, the ghoul family can only be completely wiped out, without exception.

There is also the little girl who is the only one in the world of virus infection who has virus antibodies. If she doesn't die, humanity will perish. And her sacrifice will allow humanity to continue to exist. So the Inquisition chose the latter without hesitation, sacrificing the girl so that human history could continue...

 “Am I capable of this kind of work...”

 Sighed, Naruse Mio lay on the table tiredly. If, like in the anime, the Inquisition was a righteous organization fighting against evil, then I might be more relaxed. But the more she read, the heavier Naruse Mio's heart became. She found that if she were allowed to face the problems in it, she would not be able to come up with an answer to almost every one of them.

Of course, if the answer is simply to protect human beings, then it will be much easier to make a choice, but...

"If you find it unacceptable, why don't you ask Miss Mary?"

Looking at Naruse Mio who was holding her head in distress, Rias also smiled slightly and gave some advice.

"These are all written by her, and I think she must have her own thoughts - after all, according to the book, she has always been with Teacher Duanmu, right? So when Teacher Duanmu made these choices, Miss Mary's heart What do you think deep down?"

"makes sense!"

Hearing this, Naruse Mio also cheered up.

 “I’ll ask Miss Mary now!”

Soon, the two walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. They saw Mary sitting in front of the coffee table, drinking tea and reading a book, while Wanlia next to her was watching TV... Seeing the two people walking out, they also turned their eyes curiously. Two people.

 “Miss Mary, um... I have something to ask you!”

 “Oh? What’s the matter? Miss Mio?”

"Is such that……"

 Facing Mary, Naruse Mio was a little nervous, but she still expressed her thoughts to Mary. When she heard Naruse Mio's question, Mary frowned slightly.

 “Are you asking me what I think?”

"Yes, indeed, judging from the book, it seems that the Inquisition is obliged to do this. But... I always feel that this is a bit too cruel..."

"I understand."

Mari looked at Naruse Mio and nodded.

"Mr. Duanmu has made many cruel decisions. I can't say that I can unconditionally support every decision of his, but... I think I can understand his approach. The Tribunal is to protect mankind and eliminate all existences that threaten mankind. And exists. To be honest, at the beginning, I thought the Tribunal was a just organization. But after following Mr. Duanmu for a long time, I found that the actions of the Tribunal cannot be judged by pure justice or evil. To define…”

 At this point, Mary hesitated.

 “But, I am very grateful to Mr. Duanmu.”

"Why?"

"As you said, you can't make a clear decision when faced with such a difficult problem. In fact, I am the same, or all of us are like this. Is this the right thing to do? Is there a better way? The solution? We will be troubled and hesitant because of this. But Mr. Duanmu will not. He will only make decisive decisions and issue orders. To be honest, many times we relax because of this. Because Mr. Duanmu has shouldered the responsibility, It saves us from having to think about these difficult issues.”

As she spoke, Mary looked out the window.

"Whether Mr. Duanmu will hesitate and regret these decisions. I don't know, but I hope to support him as much as possible so that he will not be under so much pressure, so I joined the trial court. After all, the trial is The court has protected me and my friends, as well as most of humanity..."

 “But, Miss Mary.”

 At this moment, Rias looked at her and asked.

“What if one day, the Inquisition requires you or your friends to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the majority of humanity?”

Hearing Rias' sharp question, not only Naruse Mio looked at her in surprise, but even Maria secretly poked her head out from the other side of the sofa and looked here curiously.

 But Mary's answer was unexpectedly decisive.

“Honestly, I haven’t thought about it. I think Mr. Duanmu may not have thought about this issue either.”

"………Why?"

I have to say that this surprised Rias. She originally expected to hear an answer like "I will die for the Tribunal".

“We have only been solving the current problems. What will happen in the future is not something we can control. Only then will we know what decisions we should make.”

 Speaking of this, Mary looked at them again and smiled.

“But Mr. Duanmu and I actually don’t want to die that much.”

 Then she spoke.
