Chapter 56: There Is a Limit
“You’re back again.”
“Is she bad at math or at language? We’re talking about whether killing 10 people or killing 50 is the better choice, and she’s just going ‘neither~’? Kids like that are always the ones who say, ‘This is a gun,’ when you play rock-paper-scissors.”
Yaaaawn. With a drawn-out yawn, Gu Seoryong stuck her fingers into my tray and picked up a piece of meat.
“Seriously, why are you sitting there listening to someone who has no idea how the real world works? Don’t you get sleepy?”
“Don’t eat with your fingers.”
“Compromise, ideals, rules? Give me a break... Why would a monster follow that crap? Even espers don’t need to. That kind of thing only exists because the weak were scared of monsters and superhumans like us and wanted to leash us.”
Nom. Without even chewing properly, Gu Seoryong gulped down the meat in one bite and stabbed at another piece.
“Her sister’s an S-Class Hero, so maybe that explains her total disconnect from reality. Girls like that always break down crying when they get thrown into the real world like, ‘I didn’t know it was so cold and scary~,’ and then they die.”
“Gu Seoryong.”
“You spend your time listening to some greenhouse flower talk, but if you’ve got that kind of time, why not just make a baby with me instead?”
She kept stabbing and stabbing, snatching more of my food without rest.
I grabbed Gu Seoryong’s fingers and tore them off—crack.
