Ah, it's been a while, Guard-san. – Things have gotten tough, haven't they… |
 |
... |
|
Everyone seems to be struggling and the whole atmosphere feels tense because everyone's struggling, it's really troublesome. |
|
Is that so? |
|
But as for me, I think MILGRAM has become a lot more comfortable! I know now that I can get whatever I want if I ask for it, so I don't need to be so on edge anymore. |
|
... |
|
You did say that you and MILGRAM are our allies, and maybe you were right all along! |
|
... |
|
Aww, it's boring if it's just me talking! We're talking to each other for the first time in a while, so you tell me about something interesting too, Guard-san~ |
|
You're in pretty high spirits. |
|
Am I? |
|
I feel like you've brightened up. |
|
Maybe… |
|
But following the judgment after your first trial, the situation in MILGRAM has changed. And in the aftermath, Kotoko has attacked people too… From how I remember you, I would have expected you to feel uneasier than this. |
|
Huh? But that has nothing to do with me. |
|
What? |
|
The ones who are suffering are the ones who have done bad things, right? You know, like, what goes around comes around. |
|
... |
|
Besides, Kotoko hurt and was mean to the people who didn't get forgiven by you, right? |
|
…Yeah. |
|
Wouldn't it be weird for me to have any thoughts on that, then? After all, I didn't do anything wrong. You forgave me! |
|
... |
|
Eh? Is something wrong? Those who didn't get forgiven by you must be bad people, if you ask me! I believe in you, Guard-san, so I'd hope you feel happy! |
|
…Thanks for that. |
|
See, you said you forgave me and that's part of your job, so it's probably right! Come on, come on, have some confidence! |
|
… Speaking of which, you seem to be pretty close to Haruka. |
|
…? Yeah! He's the one I get along with best in MILGRAM! |
|
Do you have some kind of goal with that? |
|
Huh? |
|
Haruka's loyalty towards you is one thing, but with this kind of relationship, I think it's only natural to wonder if you're using him for something. |
|
Ehh… Guard-san, do you not have any friends? |
|
Huh? |
|
Are there any? |
|
None that I could think of. |
|
Wow, poor thing~... I'll teach you! Friends aren't like that, you know. Rather than using each other for something, we just get along because we're comfortable around each other. That's all. |
|
Well, I'm sorry about that. |
|
Haruka-kun is really nice! He accepts anything I say, he listens to anything I tell him. For me, that's really comfortable. |
|
And that's… "friendship"? |
|
What do you mean? Of course we're friends! Haruka-kun is happy with it, so it only has benefits for both of us! |
|
I, as someone who has no friends, can't judge, of course, but isn't that just exploitation? |
|
Exploitation…? Um, I don't really understand, but… I do help him pick out clothes in return, and I recently gave him a hairpin I didn't need anymore as a hand-me-down! |
|
... |
|
We also have in common that we're both people who were forgiven by you, Guard-san, so I don't think it's a relationship that anyone could have a problem with! |
|
… I already said this to Haruka, but MILGRAM consists of three trials, and I have only forgiven you this once. I think it's too early to feel completely safe. |
|
Eh~ You already decided to forgive me. I think it'd be uncool to be like, "Oh, actually, nevermind" now. |
|
This is just how it is. |
|
It's fine already, isn't it? You saw me, didn't you? And from that, you decided that I haven't done anything wrong, didn't you? |
|
Yeah, that's right. For the first trial, that is. |
|
It's the same no matter how many times we do this~. I'm me, after all. That won't change. |
|
If I keep looking from now on, will I come across something that puts you in a less positive light? |
|
Eh? |
|
MILGRAM reveals the truth through videos and music. After deciding whether to forgive you or not in the first trial, I'll continue to dig deeper, searching for the truth inside your hearts once again. |
|
... |
|
For example: Things that you hid. Things that you forgot about. Things that weren't visible through the rest of your strong feelings. Those are things that I'll be shedding light on. |
|
Hmm… |
|
Or at least it might be. |
|
…I don't get it, but whatever. I haven't done anything wrong, after all. |
|
Is that so? It's true that I've forgiven you once… but I remember feeling uneasy about it the whole time. Was it really right to forgive you? |
|
...... |
|
Aren't you still hiding something? Things like that. |
|
…Why… would you think stuff like that? That's mean, Guard-san… |
|
... |
|
You saw me, didn't you? All the awful things that were done to me, that I couldn't have escaped from without killing someone! |
|
... |
|
I can't believe you're saying this to me, after I've gone through all of that… Guard-san, you're mean. |
|
Maybe I am. Your pain and suffering has certainly reached me. Or should I call it bullying? One-sided violence and mistreatment… I'm sure it was difficult to handle. It's not unreasonable to come to the conclusion that murder is the only way for a weak person to get out of that. That's exactly why I forgave you. |
|
Yeah… If I hadn't done that, I could have died some day. |
|
But – are you actually that weak, Muu? |
|
Huh? |
|
That's the source of my unease. Are you really that weak? Were you really getting picked on for being a weakling? |
|
What do you mean? |
|
How did it come to that in the first place? What was the cause? That's what I don't know. You could say it was conveniently omitted. |
|
... |
|
Even you yourself refuse to go there. Is it a topic that you don't want to touch upon? |
|
… Guard-san, I think you're really doing something bad. Isn't it a bad thing to act like there has to be something wrong with someone for them to get bullied? |
|
Oh? |
|
No matter the circumstances, it's always the bullies who are in the wrong! Isn't that obvious? Guard-san, you're so smart, but you don't even know things like that? Maybe you should take some lessons on morals or something. |
|
... |
|
Besides, even if I've done something wrong, there's nothing that could justify bullying someone. Guard-san, I thought you were a nicer person. |
|
So sorry that I'm not living up to your expectations. |
|
If you're reflecting on it, I'm willing to forgive you, though… |
|
Could I ask the generous Muu to spoil me by letting me ask one more question, then? |
|
What is it? If it's a boring question, I don't wanna. |
|
Let's say you've done nothing wrong— |
|
Not "let's say"! I have done nothing wrong! |
|
Got it, got it. So, even though you've done nothing wrong – you got bullied. Why do you think that is? |
|
I don't know that! I mean, my family is rich, and my appearance stands out, too… They probably did it out of envy or prejudice or something, right? |
|
Right, right. And here I was with the theory that you were originally in the opposite position… |
|
...! |
|
What are you saying…? |
|
Just that it could also be speculated that you bullied someone and the tables turned on you. |
|
Do you know what an awful thing you're saying right now? |
|
What are you getting this angry for? You've done nothing wrong, right? |
|
Guard-san… I hate you. |
|
This is just speculation. Don't get so mad. |
|
... |
|
So what? Can you not give me an answer? |
|
I haven't bullied anyone. I'd never do such a mean thing! |
|
Hm. |
|
I've never hit anyone or poured water over anyone's head! |
|
Hm... |
|
I wouldn't do something like that! I'm not lying! I'm not telling you lies! I really haven't done anything! |
|
I see. I'll take note of that. |
|
… Um… um, by the way, Guard-san! I don't know about this, but… |
|
What? |
|
You forgave me because I just gave my bullies their payback, right? |
|
…Well… I guess so. |
|
What was it called again… Revenge… Revenge? That means revenge can be an acceptable motivator, right? And if you don't forgive me this time, that'd mean that it's not. |
|
Um... |
|
If we leave aside the thing you said earlier about me maybe having bullied someone before– not that I actually did that, of course! |
|
Sure. |
|
So if I paid back what my bullies did to me, that would be revenge, right? And if you feel like I had no other choice than that, then don't you have to forgive me? |
|
… Uh… I'm not really sure what you're trying to say… |
|
You see, if you think that me bullying someone back after being bullied is the natural course of events, then wouldn't it be bad to bully me back again in return? |
|
... |
|
But if you were like, "I won't forgive you, Muu! Revenge is bad!", then wouldn't that imply that it's also bad for me to bully someone back after they bullied me? Since we've all done something bad anyway, doesn't that mean that I've not done anything wrong in the end? |
|
…I think I'm kinda… starting to get your point… maybe… |
|
… Guard-san, are you maybe not that intelligent, after all…? |
|
Well, sorry about that. |
|
Well, I guess it's to be expected. You talk to a rabbit, after all. *Giggles* Either way, you've understood that I haven't done anything wrong, so it's okay! |
|
I sure have understood that talking to you isn't getting me anywhere. But I guess since you made this explanation, I'll take it into consideration. |
|
Ah, but if you don't forgive me, Haruka-kun will die, so I think it'd be best to not do that. |
|
...! |
|
So you've heard about that nonsense too? |
|
Yeah. Haruka-kun told me. So I could rest easy, according to him. That made me happy… It made me really feel our friendship! |
|
You know about it and you're not trying to stop him? Haruka, that is? |
|
Why would I? Haruka-kun says he wants to do it, so there's nothing I can do, right? |
|
But you're calling him your friend. |
|
Isn't it exactly because he's my friend? Isn't friendship about letting your friends do the things they want? |
|
... |
|
Are you about to tell me "that's not what friendship is"? Then what is friendship? You're together because it's beneficial for everyone involved, aren't you? |
|
I don't think Haruka is benefitting from that at all. |
|
No way… It's not like you could know what's good for him. |
|
…You sure are tough to beat. |
|
I really don't understand what you're trying to say, Guard-san. It's Haruka-kun's personal freedom to decide what he wants to do, and I'm not doing anything wrong. It's not like I've asked him to do it! |
|
I see. That's how it is, huh. You don't say anything; just because you're present, your surroundings' wishes change to benefit you. Oh, so that's it. Like a born queen. No, it's like you're influencing your surroundings not with words, but with pheromones… Just like a queen bee. |
|
Pheromones…? I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I don't like that lewd-sounding stuff… |
|
That's not the nuance I was talking about. |
|
Either way, there's people who deserve to be unforgiven more than I do, so I think you should focus your efforts on them instead. Like, Kotoko-san has done something bad, for example. Ah, but what she did was approved by you, wasn't it? |
|
…You're making my blood boil. |
|
Anyway… I think you would do good to forgive me. Then Haruka-kun will be safe too. Ah, actually, couldn't you just forgive everyone? Then Kotoko-san won't run amok, and you won't have to think about all the difficult stuff. |
|
That is… a very attractive proposal. |
|
Right? *Giggles* |
|
Abandoning all the thinking… How nice it would be if I could just do that. |
|
… If you ask me, I don't really get why you don't do it… |
|
Because this is the role I'm playing. |
|
But the role was given to you, wasn't it? |
|
...! |
|
You didn't end up doing this because you wanted to, right? It's not a dream you've had for a long time or anything, right, Guard-san? So there's no need to let it tie you down. Couldn't you just quit? |
|
What are you… |
|
Guard-san, we call you "Guard" because that's what you are, right? I was assigned to be a prisoner, but that doesn't mean my heart will become just that of a "prisoner" too. After all, I'm still me. |
|
...! |
|
Guard-san, are you okay? Are you feeling sick again? |
|
*Heavy breathing* |
|
That's because you keep thinking too much about difficult things. |
|
...!! |
|
Just stop being the Guard, that is. |
|
...Y-You, Just— shut up, already! Prisoner number 4, Muu! Sing your sins! |
