After the Human-Demon War, they refused to be managed by humans, so the Academy launched a new plan.

"Magical Girl Creation"

They travel around the world and collect girls who no one would care about if they died.

Gather them together, teach them killing techniques, develop their magic power, transport them to the battlefield, and select the most suitable ones to become the "Old Testament".

Number 133.

She is the only successful case.

He is also the only one who survived.

The Old Testament originally only had four people, but the history books tampered with it to have five people.

A girl who had never saved the world and had never even seen the demons was dubbed the "hero savior."

Such an alien...

From the moment it was born, it was destined to be a tragedy.

but..

She doesn't care.

For a war orphan who could starve to death at any time, the person who reaches out to her in despair is "God."

What God says is the truth.

The truth cannot be wrong.

"The demons are evil. All wars are started by the demons."

These words were completely imprinted in Ye Shi's mind.

She didn't know why, but every time she vowed to kill all the demons, she could hear laughter in her ears.

The Old Testament magical girl laughed at her, the soldiers on the battlefield laughed at her, her comrades around her laughed at her, and even the person who told her all this... was laughing at her.

It was an unusually raspy laugh.

At that time, she didn't understand the meaning behind the smile.

She had no time to think.

I travel to battlefields around the world every day, always alert to gunfire and air bombings, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in many years.

Every time I close my eyes, I seem to see a blood-stained scene, and every time I open my eyes, I receive news of people's deaths.

"How long will it take for the war to be completely over?"

Ye Shi has thought about this question more than once.

However, every time I was halfway through my thoughts, I would be interrupted by explosions and gunshots.

Until, forty years later...

..

That day, she retrieved a bloody pendant from a corpse on the battlefield.

The pendant originally belonged to an officer.

"Tell her not to cry and to live..."

Before his death, the officer gave the pendant to Ye Shi, hoping that she would pass it on to someone.

However, the person to whom the message needed to be passed had also died in the war.

The pendant just stayed on her hand.

During a later operation, Ye Shi gave it to a child.

At that time, the bodies of two adults were found at the threshold of the house.

The armed soldier searched everywhere for something, and finally pulled out a crying child. Just as he was about to shoot...

Ye Shi appeared.

"demon!"

These were the last words of the armed soldier.

After killing the soldier, the child still knelt beside his parents' bodies and cried bitterly. If this continued, it would attract more soldiers.

"Don't cry, just live."

Ye Shi handed him the pendant and the last words of its owner.

Perhaps this pendant had some magic, because from that moment on, he really stopped crying.

"hero.."

This is what the child said before Ye Shi left.

She still remembers the child's clear eyes and admiring expression.

but..

Twenty years later, Ye Si took the pendant back personally.

The scene of acquaintance.

Armed soldiers searched the blood-stained room, seemingly looking for something.

Ye Shi cut his neck with a dagger, and with a "bang", the pendant fell to the ground.

"demon.."

These were the last words uttered by the soldier with the gun, with his throat bleeding.

Under the soldier's helmet, those familiar, but no longer clear eyes stared at her until he fell.

At this moment...

A tender hand stretched out from under the bed and took the pendant that fell to the ground.

"hero!"

In the blood-stained room, the child's clear eyes looked at her.

At that moment, Ye Shi finally understood a truth...

This is...war.

It has nothing to do with the "Demons". Even if there were no Demons, the war would continue.

The so-called war is a vortex of hatred.

Twenty years ago, country A attacked country B. Twenty years later, country B attacked country A.

This infinite cycle of hatred will not end until one of the parties is completely dead.

So....

Who am I, who intervened under the pretext of "stopping the war"?

Is he a "devil" or a "hero"?

Which side is "justice" and which side is "evil"?

Ye Shi was confused.

When she asked the academy for the answer, the president of the academy just smiled meaningfully and asked:

"Do you know why oil shipped from the other side of the world is cheaper per milliliter than a can of Coke?"

"..."

From that moment on, Ye Shi understood something deeper.

War... is something more complicated.

「Hatred」「Benefits」「Disputes」「Alarm」「Threats」「Optimization」「Balance」「Tools」「Ladder」...

War is human nature.

As long as humans continue to exist, war will continue.

This is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

Every hour, countless newly hatched chicks enter the meat grinder and are turned into chicken nuggets.

No one would talk about such topics at the dinner table because it has no meaning other than disgusting people.

That's right, it doesn't make any sense.

After she understood all this, she looked back at her life...

All I can see is nothingness.

In the name of "justice", they fought bloody battles on the battlefield day after day for forty years.

It saved many people, killed many people, prevented a war, and provoked more conflicts.

In the end, nothing has changed.

Not a "hero" nor a "devil".

only....

A chess piece.

Now that this chess piece knows the truth, it has completely lost its value.

The next day, the college issued her the final verdict.

That was a task....

"The Academy has a preliminary suspicion that the Demon King may launch a counterattack against the Human Realm. Please prepare to travel to the Demon Realm to 'assassinate the Demon King.'"

The moment he finished reading the content of this task, Ye Shi smiled.

I smiled helplessly.

The absurdity of this can be understood with a little imagination.

Doubting that the demon world, which has been completely isolated for 60 years, would launch a counterattack is as ridiculous as holding laundry detergent and calling it a biological weapon.

This is not "dispatching" at all, but "exile".

Even if the content is true, going to the Demon Realm alone to kill the Demon King is equivalent to asking her to commit suicide.

Ye Si's body had already been shattered in the war, and if he transformed one or two more times he would become a complete cripple.

This is the final treatment of a "hero".

no way...

The era of individual heroes is long over.

Tanks, planes, battleships, aircraft carriers, missiles, and even nuclear bombs...

With the development of technology, the existence of "war heroes" is becoming increasingly rare.

Even a magical girl who surpasses humans cannot easily change the situation.

The cost of training new magical girls is too high, and the academy has already abandoned this plan.

Yoshito...

Became the last remnant.

She was too lazy to think about what the purpose of the academy was.

At that time, she still had a last glimmer of hope.

perhaps..

This world is not that complicated.

It's all very simple..

"The demons are evil. All wars are started by the demons."

All of this is a conspiracy of the demons. They are the ones who manipulated humans behind the scenes and caused this war.

This was the last string holding onto her sanity.
