The Cruelest Enemy of Humanity Is Often Humanity Itself

The waiter had already replaced the table cloth, which was stained with milk tea, and also brought a new cup of milk tea to compensate for the loss, but Xiaoyu was too scared to face the milk tea again, let alone continue drinking it.

Well, this unexpected psychological trauma is estimated to accompany her for a long time.

So the milk tea was replaced with harmless Sprite.

“Anyway, thank you so much, Sister Erise.”

Xiaoyu, holding the transparent glass and taking a sip of Sprite, showed a happy smile. “If it wasn’t for Sister Erise’s timely rescue, Xiaoyu might really have…”

“Actually, it wasn’t you who saved me just now, it was that big brother,” smiling at the waiter who came to serve the dishes, Kim Erise pointed at him and said, “Thank him.”

“Ah, I see. Then, thank you, big brother. Big brother is really a good person.”

So the pink-haired girl stood up and bowed deeply to the waiter, who returned an extremely gentle smile.

“Ah, that, Sister Erise,”

Suddenly remembering something, Xiaoyu, holding the glass, began to ask the red-haired girl.

“Is the little brother I met in the hospital before a good person?”

“No, because he destroyed a girl’s pure heart.”

“Then, is he a bad person?”

“Also not, because he protected her when everyone was rejecting that girl.”

“Then…” The pink-haired girl, blinking, stared at the glass in her eyes, staring at the bubbles rising inside, and was dazed. “Is he a good person or a bad person?”

“Neither,” Kim Erise, picking up the large spoon, began to serve the goose soup on the table.

“He’s a person, someone who does bad things and also does good things, just like most people in this world.”

“Eh… But, the books the teacher gave me said that we should be a good person, and protect other good people, and also be brave in fighting against bad people,” Xiaoyu, lying on the table, stared at the steaming goose soup in front of her, tugging at the lace on her sleeve, indicating that she didn’t understand what the other person meant.

“I saw that girl bullying that little brother at first, and I thought the girl was a bad person and the little brother was a good person, so I bravely rushed up to protect him, and even learned from Sister Erise how to deter the bad person—

but then I found out that hearing what the girl said, I realized she was a good person, and the little brother was a bad person, but in the end, the little brother didn’t seem to be a bad person anymore… Ugh, Xiaoyu doesn’t understand.”

“That’s why I wouldn’t, and I don’t want you to rush up rashly whenever you see something unfair,”

Kim Erise put a bowl of goose soup in front of the pink-haired girl and began to stir it with a spoon, trying to lower the temperature as quickly as possible.

“People are complicated, and things are never black and white. A person can be both a good person and a bad person, just like the little brother you mentioned.

Some people do more good than bad, while others are just the opposite.

After something you feel is unfair happens, it’s not right to judge whether the other person is good or bad based on your first impression, you need to first understand the ins and outs of the matter before you can make a decision.

And in many cases, the root of the problem is the law and the background of its birth, not the people, but these broad principles are too general, and it’s probably hard to understand if I say them—how about this, if you encounter something you think is unfair in the future, just tell Sister Erise, and Sister Erise will notify the security officers and ask for their opinion.”

“Security officers, what are they?”

“They, they have the right to decide whether something is unfair, and they are also the partners of justice,” taking a sip of the hot goose soup to moisten her throat, the red-haired girl continued to stir the other person’s goose soup with a spoon.

“So, if you can’t make a decision, you just need to call them.”

“Wow, sounds so good!” Xiaoyu clutched the glass tightly, and her eyes lit up again. “Then, when Xiaoyu grows up, she will also become a security officer, and be a partner of justice!”

“A partner of justice? Great, Sister supports you! But what you need to do now is to have a good meal—come on, open your mouth.”

“Wow, so delicious!”

The pink-haired girl, who was fed a spoonful of goose soup by Kim Erise, regained her vitality and excitedly held the bowl, wanting to bring it directly to her mouth, but soon put it down again.

“Hmm? What’s wrong—oh, were you taught before that you shouldn’t hold the bowl up and drink soup when eating?”

The red-haired girl, seeing Xiaoyu’s action, was stunned for a moment, but quickly deduced it through experience, and smiled and put the spoon back in the bowl and pushed it in front of her.

“I’ll keep repeating this—you don’t need to be a good girl, you can drink however you want, it doesn’t matter.”

“Ah, that, it’s not like that,” the pink-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and then averted her gaze shyly.

“It’s just that the bowl is too hot to hold…”

Pfft, it turned out she was thinking too much.

“Well, just like this, stir it little by little, and then feed it to your mouth spoonful by spoonful, it won’t be so hot,” Kim Erise, bringing Xiaoyu’s bowl over again, lowered the temperature of the goose soup with the spoon again.

“Come on, ah—open your mouth.”

“Hiss—thank you, Sister Erise.”

Making a cheerful slurping sound, Xiaoyu drank the soup in the spoon in one gulp, and revealed a blissful smile.

“That, Sister Erise, Xiaoyu has a small request, may I?”

“Say it, no need to use the word ‘may I’, and don’t say small requests, even big requests, as long as it’s within my ability, I can fulfill it.”

“Then, can Sister Erise keep feeding me like this?”

With her hands gently clasped together in front of her chest, the pink-haired girl’s face flushed, and she asked softly, feeling a little embarrassed.

“I have been, well… feeding other small, small kids even smaller than myself before.

Some kids would insist on me feeding them, saying that it would bring a different kind of peace of mind and comfort, so Xiaoyu really wants to experience it—

Of, of course, if Sister Erise feels that this request is a bit too much, then, then I’ll do it myself, won’t ma…”

“Come on, open your mouth.” The red-haired girl scooped up a small piece of goose meat from the bowl, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, and interrupted the other person without waiting for a response.

“Mhm~”

And so, under the blessing of the blood-red light of the sunset outside the window, a girl with a long, red ponytail held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, and was feeding the pink-haired companion with long hair,

Who was looking at her tenderly, small mouthfuls of goose soup that reflected a crystal clear light, forming a warm and harmonious scene.

What those kids said was really not wrong. Xiaoyu, who was being fed by Kim Erise, felt a warm current flowing through her heart, which was the same as the experience of being held in the other person’s arms,

A feeling of happiness that she had never experienced before, and she couldn’t help but laugh, and she looked at the red-haired girl, half of whose face was illuminated by the setting sun and the other half was hidden in the shadows, and combined with the action of feeding her, it was simply an angel descending!

It was also thanks to the fact that Xiaoyu had no mind-reading ability, otherwise, if she knew what Kim Erise was thinking right now, she would definitely be embarrassed to death:

“If I keep feeding like this, I won’t be able to eat properly myself,

My stomach is so hungry, I feel like my chest and back are touching,

I want to drink the goose soup in one gulp,

Damn it, the goose meat fire cakes and roasted goose slices have already been served,

That aroma is really too tempting, I’m so hungry,

My arm has been up in the air for a while, it’s a bit sore,

No, wait, am I not a magical girl? How can I be so tired?

Oh, why do I have to learn this overbearing president-style feeding,

I regret it, is there a chance to change my mind?

But no, I promised Xiaoyu to fulfill her request,

If I do it halfway like this, she’ll be very sad,

There’s no other way, I can only speed up the feeding,

But Xiaoyu’s looking at me now is also pretty cute,

It feels just like when I adopted and took care of Mo before,

Although it was a bit tiring, a bit annoying, and took up a lot of my time playing games,

But in my heart, there was really a sense of satisfaction…”

Half an hour later, after feeding approximately eight slices of roasted goose meat, seven abalone-stuffed geese, six pieces of braised goose meat, five skewers of goose meat, four goose meat dumplings, three bowls of goose meat soup, two goose meat fire cakes, and a piece of goose liver,

Xiaoyu, who was finally full and satisfied, rubbed her bulging belly, which looked like a small hill, and then let out a satisfied burp, and then lay on the table and began to pretend to be asleep.

She was also muttering about the goose meat being so delicious, the goose soup being so delicious, and Sister Erise being so handsome, etc., it was unclear whether she was sleep talking or simply talking to herself.

This little girl, she just falls asleep after eating.

Kim Erise, who opened her mouth in a wide grin, gently shook her head, and then gathered the remaining Goose Family in front of her, devouring it with gusto.

I’m starving.

It’s still more satisfying to eat a lot myself, feeding children is really too slow.

Until a burst of noise entered her ears.

Looking out the window, she saw three burly men in gray uniforms were punching and kicking a raggedy middle-aged woman who was lying on the ground, and they were also muttering something, which was the source of the noise.

The cursing must be particularly loud, otherwise, she wouldn’t have heard it from the third floor, which was also separated by a layer of glass.

“Eh? Sister Erise? Why is it so noisy?”

Xiaoyu, woken up by the commotion, lay lazily on the table, while wriggling her body like an earthworm to move herself to the window, and looked over curiously.

“Those are the Chasca’s security forces, made up of humans, that is, the partners of justice that Sister told you about before,” the red-haired girl was holding a large goose leg and gnawing on it, and her words sounded ambiguous.

“It looks like they are expelling that woman.”

“Eh? That woman looks so pitiful, can Sister Erise help…” Xiaoyu, looking at the middle-aged woman who was beaten to the point of almost vomiting blood, suddenly remembered something halfway through her words, and hurriedly changed her words.

“That, can Sister Erise ask the security officers to confirm, is beating that woman an unfair thing?”

“Well, those people are already security officers, I believe they know very well what they are doing,” Kim Erise, shrugging her shoulders, had already lost interest in what was happening outside the window, and began to continue gnawing on the goose leg in her hand.

“Generally speaking, according to Chasca’s law, humans in the back district are forbidden to come here, which belongs to the front district, and that woman probably snuck in for some purpose, and then was discovered, right?”

“Then, that woman, should she be classified as a bad person or a good person?”

“According to Chasca’s law, she will be classified as a bad person,” the red-haired girl, picking up a piece of goose meat fire cake, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed on it, “because this is not where she should be, so…”

A sharp scream rang out, completely covering the previous cursing sounds.

Then, Kim Erise, who turned her head and continued to look downstairs, found that two security officers were firmly stepping on the woman, while the third security officer grabbed the woman’s right arm, and with a sudden ferocity, twisted it off directly.

“Ah ah ah——”

The horrific hole in her shoulder was gushing out blood, and the middle-aged woman’s screams also sounded increasingly like a ghost’s wailing, while the security officer was holding the arm, which was still dripping blood, and was showing off to his companions.

“Ugh…”

Xiaoyu abruptly turned her head away, tightly covering her mouth with her hands, trying not to let any sound be heard by others, but she couldn’t stop the tears from falling.

Ah, this is really a headache.

Kim Erise, who was accustomed to this, was still enjoying her dinner, but after seeing the pink-haired girl’s reaction, she sighed helplessly.

She had originally planned to use the topic of security officers to dismiss the topic of good and bad people, but it seemed that it wouldn’t work now.

Another shrill scream, this time it was another security officer who twisted the woman’s other arm off, and they were comparing with each other to see whose arm was longer.

“Sister Erise…”

Xiaoyu, whose face already had several streaks of tears, wanted to say something, but then she suddenly shook her head and turned to the side of the table, and vomited everything she had eaten onto the floor.

“Hey hey hey…” The magical girl, who had almost been vomited on by Xiaoyu before, exclaimed, “What are you doing? You almost vomited on me!

If you got my new princess dress dirty, I won’t forgive you!”

“I, I’m sorry…”

Xiaoyu, lying on the side of the table, covered her abdomen with her hands, panting and apologizing: “I’m really, really sorry…”

The magical girl didn’t say anything, but took her food and went to an empty table in the distance with her companions, and continued to eat;

The waiter who had heard the news started to clean up the vomit skillfully, and then handed Xiaoyu a bag, indicating that if she felt uncomfortable, she could continue to throw up in it.

Kim Erise, on the other hand, first used a wet wipe to wipe her greasy hands clean, and then went over to carefully clean the vomit that was sticking to the pink and white Lolita for the pink-haired girl.

Outside the window, the middle-aged woman, who had bled a large amount of blood, was lying on the ground, her face pale, her throat was completely hoarse, and she was unable to shout, while the two security officers who were holding the arms were taking pictures with their companions,

And had taken a picture of the arms with the woman on the ground, and at the same time, they were making a victory V-sign to the camera.

The magical girls who passed by continued to go on their way, or chatted about their own business or commented on the scene here, but their voices had been automatically blocked out by Kim Erise.

At this time, she was lowering her head, looking at Xiaoyu, who was still crying in her arms, and fell into a long silence.

The red-haired girl looked out the window, and found that those security officers had already left, and the middle-aged woman on the ground had a piece of iron inserted into her neck, with her mouth half-open and no movement, and it looked like she had already passed away.

“I’m sorry, Xiaoyu, she has left this world, and I have no way to save her.

But I promise you, I promise you, after becoming the mayor of Yinhu Bay City in a month, I will stake everything I have to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, okay?”

Xiaoyu, who had stopped crying, lifted her head from the other person’s chest, and looked at Kim Erise with teary eyes.

Then, she nodded her head heavily.
