    Episode 166 – Proof of the existence of humans and non-humans 6 -​

    Atomic Generation.

    One of the four giant corporations that exist in the kingdom, and one that produces the most powerful magical power.

    It was said that magic power is fully replaceable in empires and republics.

    Considering the necessity, Atomic Generation, which has a virtual monopoly on horsepower production in the country, can be said to be a truly enormous company.

    “The magic power of Atomic Generation. Although there are many companies that manufacture horse power, this company can be said to be the most unique in the country because it cannot replace horse power itself.

    What is needed to persuade the company?”

    If you think about it, magical power is a very heterogeneous power.

    Magical power is a power that humans can use, like Aurors, but unlike Aurors, it exists on its own in the material world.

    Therefore, unlike auras, which do not work without the creature’s will, if the conditions are met, magic is activated without a human being.

    However, it cannot be properly controlled without human will.

    Even if this is true because magic was born out of human will, magic power is in great opposition to aurors.

    The power that could truly be said to be contradictory was magical power.

    “If you think about the autonomy of the magic circle… Horsepower is essential. Without that, efficiency is too low.”

    “But magical power is not rare. Atomic only looks special because it has incredibly efficient technology.

    When it comes to economies of scale, there are already companies in other countries that produce more horsepower than Atomic.”

    “Atomic was able to survive thanks to its monopoly. If it weren’t for our exclusive position, Atomic would probably have had a hard time getting command equal to ours.”

    Atomic’s technology is amazing. The efficiency can be said to be very progressive and remarkable, as befits the technology created by Changje.

    Although it is a bit inhumane, it is an understandable level of technology when you consider the human rights of workers during the Industrial Revolution. A huge amount of horsepower produced through it.

    Atomic’s competitiveness can be said to be superior to that of companies in the Empire or the Mado Republic.

    “What do you do when you compare? I’m a latecomer.”

    However, that does not mean that Atomic can compete with and win against companies from the Empire and the Mado Republic.

    It is clear that Atomic is much more efficient.

    That’s it.

    “If it fails, Atomic will completely lose its existing status because a new company will enter the country. If successful, it will advance to a larger market in addition to its status in the Federation… ”

    “There is no reason for Atomic to do so. Because magic power is already being traded through merchants in other countries. In fact, Atomic has a lot of disadvantages.”

    Atomic already has a monopoly in the country.

    We also trade with other countries through merchants in other countries.

    If the country is made public, from their perspective, it is no different from being told to stop monopolizing in the country in return for allowing trade with other countries to become more free.

    Anyone will reject it.

    “So there is no way?”

    First, we put our heads together to see if there was a way.

    Collective intelligence. If we all put our heads together, we may be able to find a breakthrough that is hard to think of.

    “I don’t know.”

    “Unfortunately… ”

    “Except for threatening with force, we also.”

    However, there is no way to solve a problem for which there is no way.

    Because 0 is multiplied by anything, you get 0.

    ‘I didn’t want to write it because I didn’t want to arouse the suspicion of the saint or others… ‘Can’t we help it?’

    It’s not that I don’t have a way.

    There is a sure way to solve this.

    But I couldn’t write it.

    Because the shortcomings were very clear.

    ‘Is there really no way?’

    “Is there anyone who has an amazing idea that comes to mind?”

    Once again, we shared many stories hoping for a twist, but in the end, nothing was resolved.

    This was possible because it was not a line we could resolve.

    ‘I can’t see any way other than threatening with force… ‘That’s not possible.’

    There are many things I aim for, and the method is impossible through coercion.

    Wouldn’t it be great if you showed your strength and made them follow you on their own?

    If you just tell them to do it, they will wait for the power behind their back to weaken.

    ‘I can’t help it.’

    Let’s use the last resort.

    With that promise in mind, I spoke briefly to the people at the desk.

    “Good. First of all, it seems there is no way. It can’t be helped. Because impossible is not a sin.”

    “Sorry.”

    “No problem. It’s a little awkward, but it doesn’t mean there’s no way.”

    At those words, the eyes of the saint and others widened. It was as if there was such a method.

    Some people seemed to have expected force, but remained calm.

    That wasn’t what I was going to do.

    “This is mixed with secrets discovered by the imperial family, so you cannot hear it. Is it just me and the saintess who can go? For now, please take a break and think about what lies ahead.”

    “That’s not possible. If negotiations break down… !”

    “Is that really a problem?”

    The directors expressed their unnecessary concerns and immediately pointed to me and the saint.

    I have the skill to simply exude speculation.

    The saint, who saw my appearance and realized my intention, used sacred techniques to create an appearance that was holier than anything else.

    “Oh… ! ah… Ah!”

    Everyone seemed to have noticed that and closed their mouths.

    Ruin, Caquill, Redprint.

    Executives of these three companies agreed.

    Because the one standing in front of them was the daughter of the Auror Master and the Celestial God.

    There was no way that a company from a single country, not even a founding entity, could cause harm.

    “I’ll tell you how later, so let’s leave for now.”

    “I will. Abraxas.”

    The saint gave me permission because she thought there was a way, and the others did not refute it either.

    Everyone’s permission has been obtained, and now all that remains is action.

    The saint and I left immediately and headed to Atomic Generation.

    ========

    “So, do you plan to tell me what that method is, Abraxas?”

    As I was heading outside and heading to my destination, the saint asked me.

    Now that there were no witnesses, he wanted them to know the truth.

    “If I want to get the sum right, I need to know at least something.”

    The saint’s attitude, combined with her appropriate remarks, was majestic.

    It was also an act of trying to no longer ignore strange behavior or suspicious trends.

    ‘I guess it doesn’t matter anymore anyway.’

    I was planning on revealing it to the saint anyway.

    It was also a fact that everyone would know.

    I don’t know if I was planning on not revealing the information at all. If I’m going to reveal information I know, it would be right to tell you.

    The truth was immediately told to the saint.

    “Now, saint. Let’s make an assumption. If one million people were saved by relying on someone. Without him, all those million people would have died. Then is he a good person?”

    The saint is a priest.

    The issue of dealing with good people and bad people has probably been dealt with countless times.

    Moreover, this sentence did not contain a dilemma.

    In a way, it was only natural that the saintess answered right away.

    “Of course. If he can save 1 million people, he is truly a great man.”

    If you just look at that.

    The saint seemed to have expected something else to come out later, so she immediately added a sentence.

    It was true.

    Because I was planning to add more sentences.

    “But what if that was the cause of the death of those 1 million people? He didn’t mean to, and he didn’t mean anything, but what if he was the cause?

    What if that’s why you chose to save 1 million people yourself? Is he really a good person?”

    Every dilemma has an accompanying explanation.

    It is explained that all the planks on the ship of Theseus are to be replaced.

    In the trolley dilemma, there is a setting where you can change the track.

    After providing an explanation, a plausible story was completed.

    A problem that made it seem like a dilemma.

    “Hmm… It’s complicated, but even in that case, he’s a good person. Sins can be committed accidentally, but they are not something that cannot be washed away. It can be said that a person who thoroughly repays a person in order to wash away his sins is a good person.

    That wasn’t even intentional? So he is a great human being by my standards.”

    That’s right. I have no intention of refuting either.

    But that’s not the importance of this sentence. There is something so important in this sentence that it cannot be compared to anything else.

    “Then… What about those 1 million people? When they knew the whole truth. What do they think of their savior?”

    The saintess seemed to have finally realized the intention of my words, and her eyes opened sharply.

    A question you asked yourself.

    And my sentence immediately followed.

    1 million is a huge number.

    the individual who saves them

    And a human being who created the situation in which they died.

    All these points.

    “They look alike, right?”

    The saint said nothing.

    But even without communication, her thoughts were conveyed.

    Because there is only one thought on her mind.

    A being that was the treasure of this land but became a disaster.

    A being who atones for and makes amends for the disaster he has become.

    However, even he reaches his limit and commits tyranny.

    “With Yeon-guk.”

    The saintess nodded without saying anything.

    Something to talk about with Atomic.

    That story will be an important one.

    Because I need to tell you why this country has become like this.
