Ah… where am I? murmured Leon, clutching his head in pain as he stood up. Ick—he had somewhat blurry vision. He looks up at the gorgeous view of the blue sky and glowing grass moving in a pleasing way.
"What is this place?" Leon wonders to himself as he surveys the area in amazement. "There's nothing to be alarmed by." A voice next to Leon said. His glazing travels in the direction of the man. He noticed IJ standing next to him, calmly glancing at the attractive beauty of the place while he says, "because you are now under my authority." I have a few questions for you.
IJ glances back at Leon after he has been silent for a while and says, "you must be worried about your comrades." "They are entirely unharmed as I have stated, but rather I did set them somewhere, where they might understand and teach my people new things," IJ says, closing his eyes and folding his arms.
"So, then what do you want from me?" Leon questioned, his face tense. "Do you honestly believe that humanity can survive?"
The blue eyes was taken aback by this question. He then raised his head to look up at the blue sky and replied quietly, "I honestly don't know." Since learning of the battle, this idea has been troubling me: "Maybe there is a possibility," gazing upon the splendor of nature.
"maybe?" said IJ
Leon looked at his hand and remarked, "Ever since we gained these skills, I have only seen my close one die and still things were very much messed up," with sadness in his eyes.
"Are you saying that the development of superhuman abilities has made humans more unstable?"
Yes, something along those lines, but after forming new enemies and allies with a range of different kinds, we turned our attention to them, and the violence between us ceased.
Leon looked from his hand to IJ and asked, "Why have you asked me such a question?"
"Well, because I am a human too and have lived there for a long time, why can't I ask about such a question?"
"Wait, do you mean you're from my world?" Leon, taken aback by what IJ stated, glares at his face, unable to believe what he's just spoken.
"How might that be achievable? The major forces of every nation are the only ships capable of covering this distance, exclaimed a startled Leon in a loud voice.
With an absurd look IJ placed his palm on his head and laughed awkwardly, saying, "We... Because of its complexity, let's set that aside for the time being."
"I have a question" said Leon with a serious expression
"go ahead"
In a very respectful tone, Leon asked the young man, "Why are you side with these monster? Why not Come back with us?"
IJ inhales deeply and then exhales, saying, "Well asked, good question. I had the option to return to my planet, but since humans have a terrible habit of being very curious, I just thought to myself, why not see the other options and chose." after observing these individuals. I believed that I could never have helped and protected them as someone who could never do anything. After my true family passed away a long time ago, a moment opened my eyes, and I made the decision to protect these individuals and adopt them all as family. And make this planet my new home"
I see…
Leon then rose to his feet. "Why don't you treat us harshly?"
What do you mean?... said confused IJ
observing the young man. "Have we not murdered those monsters that you were attempting to protect? Don't you get angry and wish to take revenge on us?" the blue eyes asked him, looking at him uncertainly.
With a carefree grin on his face and a hand over his head, IJ remarked, "So you want me to take revenge on someone who killed my people, about that." "Apart from the warriors, all the other people were nothing much more than illusions," IJ remarked, grinning and turning to face Leon. However, that doesn't means I took payback for my people because we also murdered your soldiers.
Most importantly, "they got used to your comrade and I think it's not going to be taking much time till they get used to this place" means that my people have no hatred toward anyone.
"Are you truly certain about that?" asked a startled but slightly perplexed Leon.
"Yes," he said, turning to face Leon. IJ says, "Don't believe that simply because you are human, I will leave you for trying to hurt my people," with a menacing smirk. I will personally kill each and every one of you if something similar were to happen again.
Terrified Leon thought to himself, "Very scary,"
