We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 52 To me, my brother is the brother I love the most!

Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

As the political center of Japan, Chiyoda Ward is home to institutions such as the Imperial Palace, the National Diet Building, and the Supreme Court.

However, as the era of great magic intensifies in Tokyo, important figures are moving away one after another, and it is estimated that before long, the capital of Japan will be moved to another location.

At this moment.

At the entrance of the "Supreme Court" in Chiyoda Ward, under the watchful gaze of the "Goddess of Justice," holding a sword in one hand and scales in the other.

A long-overdue "trial" is about to begin.

bang bang.

bang bang.

As the gavel, representing the verdict, fell, Hiromi Hiraku raised his dead fish-like eyes, his face bearing a half-dead expression, and calmly looked at the man before him.

Yamagami-kun.

Hiromi Nichisha had heard of this man's name.

He assassinated a highly respected former member of the Diet in Japan, but escaped using the abilities of a sorcerer and lived with his sister.

Some say he was an assassin sent by the former congressman's political rival to prevent the congressman from being re-elected, and that he committed such a crime.

Some say he was a NEET seeking revenge on society, venting his anger on the former senator because his own life was a mess.

Some say he was a desperate gambler who took on the assassination of a former senator for a large bounty, and ultimately escaped.

All of these arguments prove one point.

The king of the mountain is guilty.

but.

Even with his dead fish eyes wide open, Hiromi Hirakawa couldn't see the slightest hint of a "sinner" on Yamagami-kun's face.

in contrast.

He and his sister both looked at him calmly, their composure and lack of shame far more genuine than that of most ordinary people Hiromi Hitsugaya had ever encountered.

"Brother, do it."

"it is good."

In an instant, the spell [Avenger] materialized into a pistol in his hand, and Yamagami fired in quick succession. The bullets formed from the spell's power hurtled towards Hiromi Higurashi, carrying a force that could pierce through anything.

Bang bang bang.

Fortunately, Hiromi Nichisha also had strong physical skills and instantly strengthened himself with his curse power, thus dodging Yamagami-kun's attack.

But it's not over yet.

The mountain girl clasped her hands together in a prayer gesture, activating the spell [Prayer]. She was an extremely rare pure support-type mage, capable of applying different buffs to the target depending on the different wishes she made.

For example, right now, the younger sister's "wish" is that the bullets of the younger sister will be "doubled in power".

boom! ! !

With the activation of [Prayer], Yamagami-kun's cursed bullets once again shot towards Hiromi Higurashi, their power doubling.

Even though Hiroshi Hiroshi narrowly avoided the danger, the immense magical power shattered the "Goddess of Justice" behind him.

"A tricky combination: one is an assassin with both speed and strength, and the other is a support character who provides buffs. If I attack his sister first, I will definitely be hit by a bullet."

Hiromi Hiraku's palms were slightly sweaty. Yamagami-kun was stronger than he had imagined. Although his spell power was only at the "quasi-first level", with the help and cooperation of his sister, he was more difficult to deal with than many real first-level spellcasters.

"Oh dear, you sorcerer over there, I have no intention of killing you. If you leave now, I will not pursue you."

Yamagami raised the double-barreled musket in his hand, looked at Hiromi Hirashiro with a complicated expression, and said loudly.

"The Holy Spirit has given me the opportunity for revenge, and I will repay it even if it means my death, but... if no one can die, that would be the best outcome."

"I was just holding back just now. If you insist on being my enemy, you won't miss next time."

Upon hearing Yamagami's words, Hiromi Higurashi did not back down. Instead, a glimmer of light flashed in his dead fish eyes as he looked at him.

"To be honest, I am not interested in the orders of that so-called 'Tengen' Lord, nor am I prepared to carry them out even if it means my death."

"I just want to know, in the era of great sorcery, having awakened your abilities and committed heinous crimes, do you still have any reverence for 'justice' or for the lives of others?"

"I won't leave until I get the answer I want."

boom!

Upon hearing Hiromi Hiraka's meaningful words, Yamagami narrowed his eyes slightly, and the bullet in his hand was fired instantly, grazing Hiromi Hiraka's ear as it flew out.

His technique, "Avenger," isn't particularly powerful, and his own magical power isn't strong either. The reason he was chosen by the Holy Spirit to become a member of the anti-magic world is quite simple.

He awakened the realm.

In the world of sorcery, a domain is a unique and powerful force. A sorcerer who has awakened their domain and one who has not are completely different beings; the former can easily kill the latter.

Since Richekuan is so stubborn and refuses to see the truth.

Then he would use his "domain" to completely kill it.

"Domain Expansion - Second Strike God-Slaying Move!"

In an instant.

Centered on Yamagami-kun, a layer of domain instantly spread outwards, and the second cursed bullet followed immediately, carrying a "sure to hit and kill" determination, aimed at Hiromi's heart.

Generally speaking, domains have the characteristic of "guaranteed hit", and the effect of "Second Strike God Kill" is a guaranteed hit even higher than guaranteed hit.

Even if the enemy also uses a domain to try and neutralize the domain on the mountain, his bullet will inevitably hit the enemy he is hunting.

Absolutely certain death, guaranteed hit and fatal.

This is the true meaning of the second-generation god of death.

boom!

As expected, the bullet struck Hiromi Nichisha squarely in the heart, blood flowed out, and he collapsed to the ground.

"it's over."

Looking at Hiromi Hitachi's fallen figure, Yamagami closed his eyes in pain and sighed.

He was a good person at heart and had no intention of committing murder. Even though he had just killed an innocent good person in order to repay the Holy Spirit, he was still a good person.

Father, brother.

If there is a heaven, I probably wouldn't deserve to meet you all again now.

bang bang.

bang bang.

however.

What Yamagami-kun never expected was...

Hiromi Nichisha, who had just collapsed to the ground, suddenly had his chest wound heal automatically. A powerful positive energy was repairing his body, and soon the fatal wound was completely healed.

It's a reversal technique!

As a top genius in the world of sorcery comparable to Gojo Satoru, Hiromi Higurashi not only became a first-class sorcerer in just over ten days, but also mastered the extremely difficult "Reversal Technique", which can heal all non-soul injuries.

"Really...?"

Yamagami's pupils contracted sharply, and his body instinctively wanted to move, pushing away his sister who was most likely to be attacked at that moment.

But then they discovered...

A terrifying domain of cursed power instantly swept across the entire area.

"Domain Deployment - Suppress and Execute!"

As Hiromi Hitsugaya's gavel fell, a brand-new black courtroom stood prominently in front of the Supreme Court in Chiyoda Ward.

The statue of the goddess of justice, which had been shattered, transformed into an even more terrifying black, cursed spirit-like creature, hovering high in the sky with its eyes closed, looking down at them.

In an instant, Yamagami-kun suddenly realized that he could not use any of his abilities. His sister, who was standing next to him, looked at him helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"Now, the trial begins again."

Hiromi Hirakawa raised his dead fish eyes, but instead of looking at Yamagami-kun, he looked at his sister and asked calmly.

Do you think your brother is guilty?

"Innocent."

However, the younger sister on the mountain raised her head. She was not young anymore, but at this moment, she looked at Hiromi Hirashiro with serious eyes that already showed some crow's feet, and said with a clear conscience.

"He killed only those who deserved to die!"

"Oh?"

"Do you think that this former congressman, who was revered by the people, drove Tokyo's rapid economic recovery, and provided countless jobs, is a person who deserves to die?"

"I believe that the person who sacrifices ordinary people for the sake of the economy, who brings in foreign religious groups to absorb funds, and who causes countless families to be torn apart, deserves to die!"

In an instant, Ri Chekuan saw his pupils shrink sharply.

He had also heard some rumors about the former congressman.

However, those rumors were too far removed from his life as a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo.

Only today did he hear a different perspective from another person.

The fact that the shikigami behind him did not open its eyes proves that what the mountain girl said was true.

If all of this is true, then what would be Yamagami-kun's motive for killing people?

"So, he assassinated the former congressman for revenge?"

"Yes."

A look of pain and despair flashed in the eyes of the younger sister on the mountain. Even now, she did not want to recall that most painful memory of her life.

"My mother donated all her wealth to that cult, and my father and eldest brother both committed suicide."

Even so, she still believed that she was not devout enough, and that we were the ones who were guilty!

"My brother killed that senator for revenge, for the sake of millions of families like ours!"

Hiroshi Nichisha fell silent.

At this moment, he understood why this great era of sorcery had arrived.

Because the goddess of justice doesn't open her eyes.

In this world, there are no gods, no Buddhas, and no saviors who can save everything.

and so.

That guy who calls himself the "Holy Spirit" is the one who bestows the seed of power upon every ordinary person. Even if this brings chaos and destruction, at least... it gives them a chance for revenge.

perhaps.

This is true "fairness".

It is fair that every person in a position of power could be killed at any time by ordinary people whom they originally regarded as ants.

"One last question."

Hiromi Hiraka put away his gavel, and in his heart he gradually came to understand the Great Spell Age and the Holy Spirit.

However, he still wanted to know the final answer.

The true view of "those who possess power" in the heart of a simple, sincere, and justice-seeking ordinary person.

"What kind of person is Yamagami-kun in your heart?"

For ordinary people, even if the motives of someone with blood on their hands are righteous and the starting point is perfect, they will still feel fear.

This is something deeply ingrained in the very bones of their nation. From a very long time ago, they have naturally developed a sense of rejection towards those who possess power and are not part of the group, even their own relatives.

but.

The girl on the mountain smiled and gave the most sincere answer.

"To me, my brother is the brother I love the most."

"..."

Hiroshi Nichiro saw this and abandoned the mission.

Saints: The mountain siblings.
