Chapter 6 (2/2)

“I was told I was sooo useless in the military I for sure wasn’t needed there, but other places wouldn’t take me in because I was fro, heh…”

I’ve said it so e and I were clearly different frorace… We suffered the hu able to find our place in this society

“But, it’s because I… No, it’s because we are like that… that we can do things others can’t It’s because of the very fact that we got kicked from the ao’s way of doing things I truly believe that these are the things only we can do, not asor military branch, but as people eren’t needed in this city”

Renge said that and gently smiled at me Yes, our circumstances were certainly similar However, no matter how similar our journeys had been up to this point, our paths would probably diverge in the future We were just different people with different fates

I scratched my ruffled hair a little bit and looked away from her “So essentially,” I said, “what you really want to say is that as people who had been part of the ao’s footsteps?”

Renge was surprised to hear that She blinked a few tirin

“So you could tell…” she said “Kasu…”

“I’uessed that listening to you talk about her”

In response, Renge juht, I would have guessed the sa only we can do? We were once theabout Because of that, we can pick up the things Asagao can’t do and do it for her Once we do that, everyone can live with their chests held high”

I carefully and silently listened to her words After a bit of silence, I glanced at her once again, and asked her if that was all As I did, she became a bit teary-eyed and looked up at me

“Co out her hand

Once again I couldn’t help but notice her sliain I hesitated to reach out, and once again I was late to shake her hand I think this tih, it was okay

“Sorry, I’ to have to pass on that,” I said as I withdrewthat this would be the last opportunity to ever shake her hand, I didn’t do it

“You know… To be honest, I’ao, and even you would be fine by me To me, that’s really not that ia peaceful and stable life That’s why I can’t…”

I sure said a lot, but that didn’t mean I meant any of it It was just a whole lot of nonsense that cae the world withthe world, saving it, or even destroying it, I really had no interest in those things

I’m sure that if she had worded it differently, I would have answered differently as well If she had said what she really wanted to say, preferably with the tears and eone with her If she had toldonly about herself and not anyone else, I would have happily followed in her footsteps No matter how despicable, repulsive, and sha she had truly wanted from the bottom of her heart, I would have definitely helped her with it

But unfortunately, that didn’t happen… That’s why I only had oneto say
