…and you. - 0304_Hello, Worlds - Chapter 5: ・│・│・・│・ - Episode 4
While coping with the despair that accompanies each new simulation, Orologia pays particular attention to dangerous weapons and medicines in attempting intervention.
Orologia: Nope, that won't do!
Orologia: Nuh-uh-uh! Letting even the smallest thing slip leads to despair!
Orologia: And that certainly doesn't make things any easier for the singularity.
Orologia: I mean, sure, (Captain) could just power through it all, but everyone deserves a chance at a happy journey!
Orologia: Even if (Captain) should eventually become a king and live every day with nothing but worries, surely there is some room for an easier life before that!
Orologia: A journey where you can partake in life's joys and make many wonderful friends... Surely I can gift you that much!
Orologia: You deserve the best possible route, (Captain)!
Choose: Check dangerous weapons.
Typical Resident: Eeeep!
???: Farewell, insignificant vermin.
???: What... was I doing?
???: I recall bidding farewell to something, but I can't remember what.
???: As one born into life at a dojo and trained in all sorts of martial arts, I had a purpose.
???: For that purpose, I took hold of this demon blade. And... Right, a blade is meant for cutting things.
???: Cutting. I was going to cut something.
???: I slide my fingers across the handle of the katana as I return it to its sheath. My mind is once again clear of doubts.
???: All I need to do is cut, cut, cut, and cut some more.
???: If I can't remember what I wanted to cut, I can simply cut down everything.
Passerby: Aiiee!
???: Everything...
Passerby: What are you—
???: Shall be cut down!
Passerby: Eeeek!
???: Haha...
???: Yes, this is going well.
Choose: Check dangerous medicine.
Magasin Chief: How's development on the latest product coming along?
???: We are still observing the effects of continued use on the test subjects. So far, it seems we can ignore any differences in efficacy on the four main types of people.
???: Not that there's no difference at all, but the addiction rate skyrockets for all of them after four injections.
Magasin Chief: And three is enough in lucky cases, eh. Not bad at all.
???: Extraction of the necessary components is simple enough. As long as we can secure a steady supply of the base material, entering mass production shouldn't be too difficult.
Magasin Chief: Hah. Sounding pretty confident there, Pharmaceutical Chief.
???: I owe you a debt, and I will make sure it is repaid.
Magasin Chief: Glad to hear it! You're definitely one of the more useful servants I've taken in.
???: A debt of gratitude...
???: After my clan was wiped out, I wandered about on my own until I was captured by traffickers and sold off to the mafia.
???: By using my medicinal knowledge as a survivor of the Karm Clan for ill-gotten profit, I was allowed to lead a relatively comfortable life. That's the "debt" I owe the Magasin.
???: Who is to blame? Those who wiped out my clan? Those who kidnapped me? Those who purchased me? Or myself?
???: There's a group called the Jorha that sell their old secrets to the mafia to survive, not too unlike myself.
???: Though I can't deny the secret sense of joy derived from being able to continue practicing a skill I've honed throughout all my childhood.
???: I've grown accustomed to experimenting directly on people and creating things that may one day destroy their lives.
???: My guilty conscience was lost long ago. What will I grow accustomed to next?
Magasin Chief: Consider these two a gift. New test subjects.
???: I may have had a pathos and wanted to save people at one point, but that's in the past.
???: All I care for now are the things that I create.
