Lucifel's Ideal World, v.2

—The world is ugly, he once declared.

Chaos is inevitable in this world. Pure good can’t be achieved, and pure evil breaks down. And these two extremes are always incompatible with each other. There is still some evil in a good world. That is how the world is, and it is what continues to create ugly things. Evil sneers at good, and good rages over evil. But, in a world where good and evil oppose each other, there is a group that is far more numerous that always appears.

That is ‘grey’. Neither good nor evil. A group that drifts through life haphazardly and merely exists. They don’t believe in goodness and are simply proud that they aren’t evil. Even though they affirm evil acts, they deny evil intentions. They happily say that ‘I am not evil, I am a good person’ and pardon all forms of cruelty.

They kill people while sneering. They kill people out of contempt. They kill people as part of a game. They use the excuse that they can’t restrain their desires—That’s how humans are. That’s how the world is.

Yes—this world is extremely ugly. Neither dyed by good nor fallen into evil. Unable to decide on a color, the wills of people continue to waver. As long as such evil intentions and such foul-smelling corpses aren’t destroyed.

The world will surely continue to rot eternally.

While wrapped within a curse-like fog in darkness frozen to its core.

He thus concluded.

Powers are off.
Corruptions are off.
Carry-on Weapons are not available.
Other carry-on items are available.

[Alrighty then. He's going to go to the house and knock on the... door frame? Or the wall? He just wants to make some noise before he just walks in.]

Hello?

[ In the house, you can hear idle chatter, a young woman talking about something, or maybe nothing at all—but upon hearing the knock, she stops. ]

—Coming!

[ a young woman comes into view. ]

You're already here!

...Yes? Sorry, am I early?

Oh . . .

No, that's okay. It's just that dinner isn't ready yet—Doodle's still getting the groceries.

But you can still come in, can't you? You must be tired from traveling all this way, aren't you?

...A little. I'm not sure how long I can stay, though.

[Will she allow him to step inside?]

[ absolutely! stepping aside for him. the house is cozy, comfortable, though certainly a little big for two people. actually, judging by the shoe rack, there are definitely at least four people living in this house.

the door to the kitchen and dining room is open, and there's already a low table set. ]

Oh! Are you going somewhere?

I was thinking of checking out the city, too. Do you know anything about it?

The city?

It's Tokyo—oh.

Mr Izanagi, have you forgotten it? Uhm. . .

[ considering for a moment before she continues to speak ]

Officially it's called the Tokyo Metropolis, since technically it's the metropolis of the Tokyo prefecture, but it's commonly just called Tokyo. It used to be a fishing village called Edo, but after the Shogunate ended, they moved the capital of Japan to Edo and renamed it Tokyo.

[ pppppausing, staring at him like, has this jogged your memory, do you know what a tokyo is? ]

[Alright, good, nice to get that confirmed. He looks surprised in turn:]

Ehh... of course it is. But what I mean is, do you know anything - like places of interest and stuff like that.

[His wording was mmmmaybe vague enough to deflect, but he's trying anyway.]
