5-5 Because the World Is Unkind

Sorry...

............

Please...forgive me.

If you're going to apologize for something, don't do it in the first place. I'm not a masochist, you know.

But, for Lord Tokinada, I must...

You're blaming Tokinada when you're the one hurting me?

Ngh!

You understand that it's wrong to hurt someone who doesn't retaliate, right?

I... That is...

So you do know the concept of good and evil. The truth is, you don't want to hurt someone who won't fight back, right?

............

Or are you going to force all your sins onto Tokinada and say it's all for his sake?

No...

How can you say something so horrible? What am I supposed to do?

Don't ask people to figure everything out for you. Not everyone in this world is going to treat you with kindness.

What would Lord Tokinada do?

But I...

You're not a bad person. You don't have to follow everything Lord Tokinada says. You're supposed to follow your own heart and walk with your own two feet.

If you come to the conclusion that you can't kill someone who won't fight back, I'll give you what you want.

Huh?

There are so many things I have to teach you.

I'm saying I'll train you. Just take my offer.

............

Don't hesitate. If I was your enemy, I would've killed you just now.

............

You should always take a half-step back when you're facing an enemy. You never know what might happen.

Aaah! Aaaaaah! Be quiet... Please be quiet!

See? You would've died again just now. Aren't you supposed to be way stronger than me? You're leaving yourself too open.

No... This... This is wrong. I have to become stronger so I can serve Lord Tokinada.

There are a lot more things you should be afraid of. That's what you're lacking.

Waaaaaah!

............

This world is cruel. It's scary just to live in it.

That's why you need to be as kind as you can be to the people around you. That's what I try to do, too.
