“ character. Would you like to explain? What is your purpose?”
He appeared in front of the homunculi.
There can be no such thing as denial.
He showed himself openly and killed the oldest guy.
Because it proved that the being was a homunculus.
“… How do you know?”
Have you thrown away the naturalness of being a child?
A little boy who immediately spoke calmly.
With this, the remaining 0.1% possibility was completely denied.
There is a possibility that only the mother is a homunculus and the child is not a homunculus.
“Hmm… I’m not sure it’s accurate either. Let’s just say we were able to detect the homunculus. I felt like I could sense a soul, but it was real.”
“Was there a way like that?”
“It’s a technology that was put into practice hundreds of years ago. I brought it back to life myself. But there’s no need to be concerned about that… What is the purpose? Isn’t that the most important thing?”
“Uh, uh… Hmm… !”
Me and the two little homunculi were trying to talk.
The suddenly heard sound changed the atmosphere.
It flowed from the mouth of the homunculus I had captured earlier.
The homunculus who had been captured and tortured first froze as soon as he saw me.
It may be because I, who thought I was alive, suddenly appeared and found out the whole story.
I wasn’t here to rescue you.
I had set a trap.
The homunculus looked like an ancestor who had lost his country.
He immediately fell to the floor, grabbed his head with both hands, and screamed.
“I hate it!!!! Well, I don’t want to go back there!!!!!”
He suddenly has a seizure and grabs my leg.
I thought it was going to attack, so I was ready to hit its head at any moment.
He was just holding my leg and shaking.
I got a rough idea.
“Hmm, then will you tell me the truth? What is your purpose? Why is Lily ”
“I, I don’t know the exact details… !”
“Then let me ask you a quick question. Those people… It’s a homunculus, right?”
“That’s right! They’re all homunculi!”
I was surprised because I didn’t expect it to be so easy to say.
I stayed quiet because it was important for me to look like I knew everything.
“You… If you say that… !”
“They all noticed anyway! And what good did you guys do by actually revealing it! Even if you hadn’t been caught up in this trap, it wouldn’t have happened like this!”
Is this something that wasn’t agreed upon even among the homunculi?
Two little homunculi were selling a male homunculus.
But they won’t know.
What kind of humiliation did that guy suffer for almost a week?
If that happened to you too, you would do the same thing.
“Then what about Lily? Lily Barbarossa. Is she a homunculus too?”
I was finally able to know the truth.
First of all, she is not a homunculus according to my sense.
In fact, her mother and two younger siblings were homunculi.
That would be correct.
“Lily? For now… Homunculus is right… But it’s a little ambiguous… ”
what? Was it really a homunculus?
So was my intuition wrong?
“Really? Is this a little strange?”
“I don’t know the details either. But even though he was a homunculus, they kept him under surveillance and told him to just live his life. He acted like a human!
I was just an informant delivering information, but she added a homunculus to watch over her! Even though he himself is a homunculus!”
As I listened to his words, my mind became even more complicated.
Homunculus is correct. But it is not an ordinary homunculus.
It probably has something to do with her last name, Barbarossa.
Since she said she did not know, the case became even more mysterious.
‘what… Anyway, if you ask those guys over there, they’ll come up with it.’
Even if it doesn’t appear, I know the story behind it.
You will have the opportunity to ask directly.
Moving on to the next question.
“Then what about the force that bound you there?”
“Well, I didn’t see the exact thing, but… It was a homunculus similar to me… ! I don’t know what kind of people they are, but there may be some who have awakened their egos… !”
Ohh? Tied up by the same homunculus?
Doesn’t that make sense?
That was it, there was no reason to lie.
You shouldn’t trust it, but at least don’t think it’s a lie and put it in your memory.
Since it’s such a ridiculous thing, it doesn’t matter if you explain it based on a ridiculous situation.
I got all the information I needed to get.
Even if I kill him now, no one will say anything.
But at least that homunculus is watching.
If you show your frustration, you will never cooperate.
I asked if there was anything I wanted.
“I understand. Then what do you want?”
Pretending to be merciful.
At least we strongly appeal that we will not harm you if you cooperate.
I wonder if it is possible.
If possible, it would be of great benefit.
In such a situation, he shows his anger.
He told me what he wanted.
“Kill me.”
The homunculi behind him were surprised at those words.
“… Is that your wish?”
“I am a homunculus anyway. I am a defective product with those memories in it… It’s destined to be discarded anyway… Kill me cleanly.”
“Are you afraid?”
“If you’re going to die anyway… It’s better to die comfortably. You can do it. You can get rid of it with a single knife without any pain.
If I’m going to die anyway, I want to die comfortably… I can’t go to heaven because I don’t have a soul.”
Even the request is truly humane.
How can this be?
He was hoping for euthanasia, something only humans desire.
Even if you are a human being, if there is no hope for life, you will wish for euthanasia.
“That’s not a problem.”
Tukㅡ
Quick resolution.
He cut off his head without any problems.
His head fell off like a stuffed animal.
Although I don’t know exactly who he is.
At least it was a good ending for a homunculus.
Even if there is no soul.
Homunculus is a living creature that can perform unpredictable actions.
He made his choice of his own will, at least in the end.
If I had a soul, I would have respected it.
It is truly a shame.
All that remained were two little homunculi holding their breath in the background.
Since they had been sprinkling deadly poison earlier, they were unable to move and stayed in place.
“Now… So what am I curious about now? You know roughly, right?”
Slowly approach them.
The homunculi were mentally armed and trying to resist me.
Don’t worry. Even the homunculus that got hit by my foot, a bastard that those two thought were pitiful.
At first, I stubbornly refused.
Receive separate training to withstand torture.
Unless you lived with terminal cancer for several months like I did, you don’t get that level of mental strength.
however…
“You… What are you doing?”
“Oh? Are you here?”
Just at the right moment, Lily Barbarossa, a homunculus related to the creation, appeared.
I didn’t expect it to arrive right away because of the distance, but it seemed like it was running.
As soon as I fully figured out the whole story, I called Lily through Lucas.
It was to properly let Lily know what kind of situation he was in.
Because she has the right to know the truth, whether it’s real or fake.
“I… What are you doing? You asked… ”
“I’m just doing the right thing.”
“Keep your hands off my younger siblings.”
“Younger brothers? First of all, if a younger sibling means a younger sibling born through sexual intercourse from the same parents… Your brother is not here.”
“It’s not up to you to decide. Hands off.”
She acted aggressively because she knew her younger siblings might be in danger.
I understood. The reason she tried to escape this land.
The reason you asked me to euthanize you.
It’s all for the family.
It’s natural to react like this, whether she’s a homunculus or not.
“Lucas… What is the minimum number needed to hear the information?”
“One.”
But the truth is always one.
The truth is unchanging.
Pangㅡ
I immediately converted the card in my pocket to alchemy.
It was a pension item that I had previously ordered.
“You… What are you doing… ?”
Of all the people who saw that object, everyone except me and Lucas was embarrassed.
A lethal weapon made of black metal with an L shape.
It was a pistol.
Minimum number to hear the truth. One.
And the pistol in my hand.
Two homunculi where the pistol is aimed.
Any idiot would be able to understand what kind of situation this is.
Tangㅡ
A homunculus in the shape of a remaining child.
Among them, the girl side.
A lead bullet created through alchemy is lodged in the child’s face.
The lower jaw was blown off, and the face did not have the proper shape.
I will definitely die soon.
Blood is flying.
The child’s body floats due to that physical force.
Perhaps because he was a homunculus, he was tougher than a child in reality.
Shake it~
“Uh… ?”
The little homunculus flew into the sky after being attacked.
It was because it was light.
Just before I die, while I was still alive for a short time, before the questions I had after sensing death were resolved.
She soon reached biological death.
“Ah… ah… !”
Lily Barbarossa must have lost her mind when she saw that.
He looked mesmerized.
Tears poured from my eyes without any sobbing.
It was only as thick as a light rain, but the concentration of sadness contained within it was incomparable to anything else.
“What are you doing!!!!”
She said as if she was screaming.
The person you were trying to protect has died.
My mother also died, but I couldn’t actually see her.
But in the case of my younger brother, he was alive and could be saved.
But he died right before my eyes.
She tried to tackle me even though she knew she couldn’t beat me.
Chuck ㅡ
But she never lunged at me.
We pointed our fingers at the child I had shot.
As we pointed at the same time, she felt something strange and looked at her brother.
No, I looked at the ‘thing’ that was my younger brother.
“Uh… ?”
Even though I just spit out the same words over and over again in just 30 seconds.
The emotions contained within were different.
Confused at first.
Anger after that.
And now she must be feeling empty.
“Ah… ! ah… !”
What unfolded before her eyes.
It was the image of my younger brother falling apart in a miserable way.
What should be a corpse begins to discolor black and collapses into slime, as if it had been heated.
The sticky slime spread across the floor as if the younger generation was playing with slime.
And soon the slimes slowly dry out.
As the moisture evaporates, it loses its fluidity and gradually becomes a solid.
The slime became solid in just 30 seconds.
Soon it began to collapse, turning into black ash and scattering.
And everyone on this earth was aware of the existence of this phenomenon.
“Aaaa!!!”
The existence that was everything to a human being turns into ashes and disappears without a trace.
to the letter.
It disappears as if it was nothing.
Is it to act humanely?
Or is there really such a thing as emotions?
The one remaining homunculus closed his eyes tightly and turned his head.
He probably didn’t want to see his sister realize the truth.
A family member died today.
no. Maybe from the beginning.
I don’t know.
