Sponsored Chapter

Ooh boy, we actually hit the last sponsored chapter!

Many thanks to the ones who supported these chapters, I arateful!

Since -sadly- the last chapter up-to-date for the novel is approaching, I will be saving the speech for later

Anyways, enjoy! ?

“Now then, there’s a s I want to hear of you, but first of all, why are you here?” (Makoto)

“Of course, to meet you” (Root)

The top floor of the Kuzunoha Co Root froht face

Ah, of course, I entered through the backdoor

As expected, it would be bad to have the custo learn of my return, of course, I can simply explain them that’s not the case, but I decided not to expose it

“Okay, that ht be one of the reasons Then, the other reason?” (Makoto)

“To inspect the Adventurer Guild of Tsige Lately, the places around here have been rowdy, so it was to make a confirmation of sorts And in truth, it seems like the Guild is pretty cooperative to the movements of the town” (Root)

“Yeah” (Makoto)

That part is exactly as he says

We are having the Adventurer Guild cooperate entirely

Thinking about the public position that Root talks about, and the Adventurer Guild’s significance, just having it as aplenty

With the matter of the independence and the coup d’etat in Aion, there’s plenty reason for him to co here after hearing about me from Sofia, but it is not like he has any sort of ulterior motive?

Eeh? That Root?

But what he is saying

“Makoto-kun?” (Root)

“Are those really the only reasons? Aren’t you sche?” (Makoto)

“None none I heard froirl that she hadto Tsige Meeting with Makoto-kun was a ht that it would be nice to cohing lightly, he flaps his hand in front of his face and laughs

“…Then that topic is fine already Next, Sofia who I o, as that about? What are your intentions?” (Makoto)

“Uh, yeah It is true that I was thinking aboutit a small surprise for Makoto-kun, so I kept it a secret Uhry? Now that I think about it, I feel like it was the sao too…” (Root)

“I heard and learned about a variety of things you were involved with, and I saw for myself the matter of Sofia after all Just s Root, after what happened, didn’t you finish off Sofia? Why is she still alive, s I was involved in, huh I don’t think I have done that h Also, about that girl, I a her take responsibility for what she did, you know?” (Root)

“Responsibility?” (Makoto)

Root was supposed to have retrieved the power of the Superior Dragons froht that was the last of the adventurer called Dragon Slayer, and yet, he taer

When I asked for the reason, what I got in return from Root was the word ‘responsibility’

“Sofia and Lancer went and did whatever they wanted for the sake of their own goals Of course, there was no small amount of sacrifices because of it Because of their intervention, there have been several countries falling to ruin The ae is still unknown The chaos they created utilizing the as also quite the deal When Lancer grows to a certain extent, I will have hiinal place, and will have hions that provides trials, just like Grount With none of what he has done till now, that is Then, about Sofia…” (Root)

“About Sofia, you say She wouldn’t have done so the path she chose That’s how it felt, you know?” (Makoto)

“Yeah, even at the border of death, she still spouted begrudging words towards s his shoulders

That does sound like the last moments of someone like Sofia

I so like plead for her life

“Then, even with that, she didn’t die?” (Makoto)

“Ahahaha! Oh you, Makoto-kun, that’s not like you” (Root)

“What is?” (Makoto)

“Die and that’s the end ‘Counting death as taking responsibility, don’t joke around’, isn’t that so you said as well? Even if a cris one can take responsibility for when the one responsible is dead Apparently, that’s not soist of it” (Root)

“…”

True

I don’t knohen it was, but I do reard, with Tomoe and Root

I think it revolved around seppuku

Stirring society plenty, and when they realize that their objective can’t be accorace and choose suicide

‘All the responsibility is ona closure to my own life’, just how selfish that is, is what I said Well, I slightly remember I said that to the thile I was drunk

“I a to think that with death your responsibilities will stop their hounding Luckily, she was an adventurer with power She was also a vessel that had a bit of my poithin her after all That’s why I decided to breathe life into her for recycling” (Root)

“Recycling…” (Makoto)

“By having her work as an adventurer in the direct control of the Adventurer Guild, I will have her work in reducing the a her take responsibility” (Root)

“…And why did you tamper with her memories?” (Makoto)

Root didn’t seem to show any hesitation as he explains the reason why he revived Sofia, and about her currently working

“That’s a foolish question, Makoto-kun With how she is, there’s no way she would have obediently followed my orders Just as you saw, she was possessed by hate after all” (Root)

“That’s why you imprinted in her that she would happily act for her loved father?” (Makoto)

“Honestly speaking, I didn’t care about her relation with h I si, and imprinted memories of an environhed, you know? She hatedwas that of being loved by htforwardly, and contribute to society Really, she walked a path that was completely contrary to that” (Root)

“Root…” (Makoto)

“It is true that I probably surprised you needlessly If it wasn’t a fun surprise for Makoto-kun, I apologize But, is it really sory about?” (Root)

“…”

“Sofia and Lancer really created chaos in the world If you want to, I can even show you the details of that dae in the future They have to atone for that If possible, by their own hands Isn’t that right?” (Root)

“…”

It is true that, if possible, that’s how it should be

If it is possible, that is

I felt that these words had pretty distant on Root

That’s right, because this is how I think, and in truth, I still think this way Can it even be called atones like reviving and tanized as the atonement of the Sofia that perpetrated the her all in her work She is also tackling the reconstruction of Kaleneon with all she has Not because of reasons like ‘the reward is good’ or ‘there’s a formidable enemy’, it is simply because she is happy that it is for the sake of the world She also obtained the past she wished for No one is unhappy about it, and I think it was a soh” (Root)

“No one is unhappy, huh” (Makoto)

As I thought, is this what they call a difference in views?

In the explanation of Root, there was no unpleasant sche h
