Based on the above reasons, Shirou Emiya can only choose to truce with Esdeath temporarily, at least until they can leave this uninhabited island before fighting each other. The flames were sizzling in front of Shirou Emiya and Esdeath. They sat on the beach, quietly looking at the starry sky. "Why would you massacre those innocent people like this?" Congratulations, you've been cheated. "Kick! Kick! Kick!" “We were no strangers to love” “You know the rules and so do I” cough! cough! This chapter is a PY chapter, free, free to be cheated, surprise. Okay, no more words, let’s get down to business.
As a loser, I never thought that one day someone would ask me for PY, then I would definitely do my best to refuse. If someone seeks me out for PY, I have no reason to refuse. I stood up directly and righteously, I was determined to deal with this PY, and even Jesus couldn't stop me. Then, after I finished writing two chapters, I quickly took out my beloved keyboard and started typing on it. As a righteous partner, I need to lend them a helping hand, even if I am also very frustrated. cough! cough! Getting back to the topic, I should also release PY’s books. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. Just take a casual stroll and you won’t suffer a loss nor be cheated. As for the remaining two chapters today, don't worry, they are there. Chapter 102: The Evil Man - Esdeath Nothing happens for no reason. This is what Shirou Emiya thought in his heart. There may not be a reason for any action or anything that happens, but there must be a reason why they should be there. If you step on a banana peel on the road, you will slip because people throw banana peels around. Ants are accidentally stepped on to death because they appear on the path where people pass. A man walking on the street had his head chopped off by a flying axe. Perhaps it was a nobleman who was looking for fun, or perhaps someone was itching to throw something in his hand. You yawned because of your body's reaction or because of what you were thinking. There must be a reason for the occurrence of an event, but there may not necessarily be a reason.
He wanted to understand the reasons behind Esdeath's actions. In fact, Shirou already had his own conjecture in his mind. In such a corrupt world, it was not surprising that there appeared such a person who was decisive in killing and enjoyed slaughtering. He just wanted to confirm whether he could change her fixed idea. After all, during this period of time, it was Esdeath who captured the prey and obtained the food to keep herself alive. For this matter, Emiya expressed his gratitude to Esdeath. Wanting to kill her and wanting to thank her were not contradictory. The sin she carried was something that Shirou Emiya could never forgive. But if Esdeath can change her mind and help those who are still alive, Emiya will give up his intention to kill her. If Esdeath cannot change her mind, then no matter how much favor Esdeath has done to him, Emiya Shirou will still maintain his absolute murderous intention towards her. No matter how many good deeds a murderer does afterwards, it cannot change the fact that he deserves to go to hell. No amount of compensation can make up for the loss of a life. But because of this, shouldn't criminals choose to redeem themselves? Could killing the criminal, or even torturing him, bring back the lives that were lost? This is obviously impossible. At least, in Emiya's heart, those who are still alive are more important than those who are dead. Rather than killing those criminals, what Emiya wants is to let those criminals provide help to the world and society. He had no right to forgive those killed by criminals, and of course, Emiya had no right to go beyond the rules and seek justice in his heart for those who died. These are just selfish thoughts in his mind. So if Esdeath turns over a new leaf and her enemies come to seek revenge on her, Shirou Emiya will definitely not stop them. Killing someone means paying with one's life, and debts must be repaid; this is the natural law, and Emiya has no right to stop it. These are not within the scope of Emiya's business, and he will not help others to get revenge. At most, he is just doing it because he needs to do it to help others realize their revenge ideas. Only if that person wants to complete his revenge at the cost of more innocent people will Emiya appear to stop him. "I was born in the northern border area——" Esdeath had no taboos. After all, she and Shirou Emiya were the only two people on the entire island. Instead of just sitting there stupidly, it would be better to have some communication. She also began to talk about her past, which was not something to be hidden. Esdeath is the daughter of the chief of the Bartus tribe, a race that specializes in hunting dangerous species. She has been ingrained with the idea that the strong prey on the weak since she was a child. When she returned from a solo hunting trip, she found that her entire tribe had been destroyed by a northern alien tribe. But she did not have any hatred towards the northern barbarians in her heart, but only became more convinced of the idea of the survival of the fittest. "Is there really no hatred towards the northern foreigners?"
Shirou Emiya thought in his heart and finally understood why Esdeath massacred all the northern alien races. This cruelty not only came from her own living environment, but also from hatred. Perhaps Esdeath did not show any attachment to her father or her tribe, but simply by committing such a massacre against the northern barbarians, she had already revealed her deep longing for the past. Emiya understands what Esdeath did, but he doesn't think that what she did is right. Fighting evil with evil is an extremely incorrect approach. But Emiya would not tell Esdeath that she should not massacre those innocent civilians of the northern alien races. It is impossible for Emiya to persuade others to lay down their weapons after their entire family was killed. Emiya can only express his feelings through actions, not words. "The law of the jungle is very consistent with the current status of the empire." Emiya could only sigh, he was not from this world and he knew that he couldn't judge what they did here by the standards of his own behavior. The nobles ate porridge, while the common people might not even see grass. In such a corrupt empire, even if cannibalism occurred, Emiya might not be surprised. It's not just that the people are living in misery, those people have become livestock, being fed by those nobles. The reason why they don’t resist is not because the people don’t realize their current situation, but because they don’t have the sword to resist. Esdeath alone is enough to overwhelm everyone in the empire. This is the law of the jungle, absolute suppression by strength. It is precisely because the empire is so powerful that it has been able to stand firm even though it has become extremely corrupt internally. "But, many things can't be explained by the saying of the jungle, right? I guess in that tribe, even at the last moment, they still chose to let those young and weak people leave first." Just as Shirou Emiya wants to change Esdeath's ideas, Esdeath also wants to change Shirou Emiya's ideas. This is a young man who was able to defeat me in such a short time. Anyone would be tempted to recruit him as his subordinate. "Yes" Esdeath could not refute this point. In her memory, she did find a team that was caught up by the northern barbarians and then slaughtered. The team included many young children and the elderly. They wanted to escape, but were caught up and killed by the northern barbarians. Those are the people in their tribe who have lost their fighting ability or who do not yet have the fighting power. There is no doubt that those people are weak. "No one is strong from the beginning. Everyone starts out as a weak person. Didn't you survive in such extreme cold because of your father's protection?" Emiya remembered the first time he saw a demon. It was so weak that his body would be pierced by it with just the slightest blow. Chapter 103: Concepts That Can Never Change Esdeath did not pause at Emiya's question. "That's because my father is a strong man. Isn't it normal for the strong to make the rules?" Esdeath responded to Emiya Shirou. "The law of the jungle is an iron rule that no one can change. If you were not so strong, do you think you could have such a calm conversation with me?"
"All rules are based on the survival of the fittest." Esdeath's tone left no room for doubt; she had never hesitated in the slightest about what she believed in. "That--" Before Emiya could ask any questions, Esdeath interrupted him immediately. "Are you wondering why father protects the weak?" "These are just the rules set by my father. He is a strong man, so we abide by his rules, that's all!" Esdeath's father is the most powerful man in the entire tribe, and no one can disobey his orders, just as he taught Esdeath. Even though everything he did was in line with what Emiya wanted, he still adhered to the iron rule of the survival of the fittest. "The strong make the rules, and the weak follow them. He requires everyone to protect the young, and the weak need to follow his rules and protect the young." "Father protects the weak, and there is no conflict between the strong and the weak." Yes, from a holistic perspective, there is no conflict between protecting the weak and the law of the jungle, just as Esdeath is extremely generous to her subordinates, basically sharing all the rewards she receives with her subordinates and soldiers. Even though those subordinates and soldiers were weak, Esdeath took great care of them. It's just like Shirou Emiya thinks that Esdeath cannot be slaughtered like this, it's because he is a strong man that he can find ways to change the rules she set. When the strong protect the weak, it is always out of the will of the strong, not the will of the weak. Shirou Emiya chose to protect the innocent people, and it was because he was a strong man that he had the will to help others. If he didn't have such strength, he would have been killed by Esdeath the first time he met her. It was Emiya who decided to help others, not those people who decided that Emiya would help themselves. "You think that the strong protect the weak, but that's just wishful thinking. If someone stronger defeats you, then how will the weak you are protecting be treated?" Esdeath questioned Shirou Emiya, which was also what she learned from the demise of her own tribe. It is true that her father is a strong man, but a stronger man can completely ignore the rules he set and destroy Esdeath's home. From that moment on, Esdeath knew that only by becoming stronger would she not be restricted by the rules, and only by becoming the strongest person would she be able to create her own rules as she pleased. At this moment, it was Emiya's turn to be unable to refute. Just like there was no bad thing in the area where Shirou Emiya lived, the rules there were made by Shirou Emiya, and he destroyed all those bad rules. This maintains public order in the area and prevents more students from suffering from bullying. The reason is that Emiya is very strong. If he is not strong, all that awaits him is endless bullying and beatings. At this moment, Emiya knew in his heart that he could not make Esdeath change at all. This idea was already deeply rooted in her mind. She could even draw inferences from one instance to refute herself. But I don’t have any power to refute. When I explain the truth to others, the first thing I need is to have a big enough fist.
Your fist is not big, so no reason will be of any use to you. "What about you? Why are you so twisted?"
