1. Before the battle
42 linesI really hate humans.
They're mean, weak, foolish, and insensitive. Irrational, insincere, defiant, and deceitful.
That's why I have no choice but to educate them. Such flawed creatures can't be allowed to remain as they are.
So I'm going to manage them completely. To correct all that is wrong with them.
At this moment, there are three humans asleep and slumped over a sugoroku board game on the table.
It's almost as if they collapsed mid-game.
These three will be my test subjects.
A certain obstinate writer's suggestion may have brought me to Chaldea...
...but as I am unfailingly just and righteous...
...I can't commit myself to helping them unless I confirm that they are, in fact, worth helping.
So I chose three of Chaldea's humans and tested them on behalf of all the others.
Do these humans deserve my cooperation? Are they truly on the right side?
...All three are still fast asleep, none the wiser as to the outcome of my test.
One of them looks especially happy, even while drooling in their sleep.
Just seeing their sleeping faces is filling me with secondhand embarrassment.
I can feel the desire to reject them, to denounce them overcoming me.
It whispers to me, telling me to throw them into my insect space...
...and subject them to an unlimited correctional course, or a never-ending educational race.
The problem is, I already did that.
I didn't do anything.
Not anymore. I was forced to abandon what I did.
It was all just a dream.
But, even if that's all it is now, I still remember it.
And why wouldn't I?
I'm a dreaming faerie as well. I'm not going to forget something just because it was taken away from me.
I swear, look at them. They're so utterly vulnerable.
Come on, you can play another game. Why not?
This time, you can make sure your criteria is perfect.
This time, you can keep going until they're truly, finally perfect fathers.
But...
...I think, just like I remember what happened, he still has a faint recollection of it all, too.
It might be vague, too hazy to put into words...
...but it should still be there, deep in the recesses of his mind, as the morning larks gently stir him from his dream.
So even if it does not remain as a memory or can never be put into words...
...he should still be aware of the child that's here now.
The child full of impossible-to-reconcile contradictions...
...who both hates and loves humans in all their imperfections.
...I think I'll leave it at that for today.
It looks like this score is the best you can do for now, so it'll just have to do. At least for today.
But in the future, I fully plan on taking advantage of the next opportunity to give you a complete education.
There's no point in doing anything by halves. So the next time...
...I WILL make you into the most perfect Master ever! You just see if I don't!
