Tsukuyomi fell silent, calmly analyzing the current situation and what the unfathomable boy in front of her was planning. As a qualified archer, she had always possessed a calm mind and a clear head.
"...I can't believe your reasons...Just because of fate or something, you bought us and then set us free. Even good people have their limits. Did you really have absolutely no feelings for us?"
"The reason we said we couldn't leave the city on our own because of the covetousness of adventurers and other powerful individuals outside is that we're supposed to stay by your side like this."
"In the end, you must still have ulterior motives towards us."
Despite her nervousness and fear, Tsukuyomi calmly questioned the hero.
"Hahaha... You're quite interesting, not too stupid. Since you've already figured it out, I'll just lay it all out on the table."
"Talking about fate is definitely a lie. To put it bluntly, I want you to be my women."
Chen Hao spoke frankly and directly.
"...It's all pointless. In the end, it's just for our bodies...If we become your slaves, wouldn't you get what you want anyway?"
Tsukuyo was shocked by these straightforward words, and her face turned slightly red. To be honest, this boy was quite handsome. If he was her first love, Tsukuyo wouldn't mind. She would just consider it as repaying him for rescuing her from the slave den.
Chen Hao shook his head, answering her question with a serious expression:
"I don't like to force people I have no grudge against, and unlike others, I respect everyone's life, dignity, and freedom."
“In my eyes, demi-humans are also human beings, so I hate the demi-human slave system in this country. It is an evil act to deprive others of their lives, freedom, and dignity just for their own selfish reasons.”
“I respect everyone’s opinion and choice, so even if you don’t agree with me and still choose to leave, I don’t care. I will even escort you to the outside of the city.”
"But whether you will be captured by other humans and enslaved again is none of my business, and you may never meet someone as good as me again."
Tsukuyo looked at the serious-looking boy in front of her and fell silent again, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
He is truly different from other humans.
To this day, Tsukuyomi's impression of humanity remains that of oppression of demi-humans, who can treat beings with intelligence, life, dignity, and freedom as lowly animals, using, selling, exploiting, and killing them at will without any burden.
After being attacked from her tribe and captured and taken to human territory, Tsukuyo encountered humans who were full of malice towards her.
The boy before her was the first human to show her kindness, and he was truly different from other humans. He didn't treat demi-humans like animals, but rather as equals.
He sees all intelligent life as equal, and he truly respects all intelligent life.
Why would someone like him kill his own kind without any remorse?
Chen Hao's calm demeanor after killing seven gangsters in a very short time deeply etched his strength and ruthlessness into Yueyong's heart.
His current display of gentleness and respect for life contrasts sharply with the impression he left on Tsukuyo, leaving her confused.
To get an answer to her question, she spoke up, asking with a puzzled look:
"Since you respect all intelligent life, then why is it that your expression didn't change at all after you killed seven people?"
Chen Hao laughed as he listened to her words. Yueyong's question seemed incredibly naive. He smiled and answered her question, suppressing a laugh as he said:
"Don't you think you're being incredibly naive by asking this question? They're all planning to attack me, so can't I at least fight back and kill them?"
"well?"
In fact, Tsukuyo didn't realize at all that those people were trying to attack them. From her perspective, Chen Hao made the first move, and those people only rushed up after seeing their companion being killed, and were then killed one by one.
It was unavoidable that he was misunderstood. After all, the first person to make a move was reacted to by Chen Hao immediately, who drew his gun and killed him in quick succession.
"But no matter what, aren't they all living beings? And they're all your kind, don't you feel anything at all?"
Tsukuyomi truly didn't understand, because killing was such a heavy thing for her. She was just a little girl. Although she had killed some people in retaliation when fighting back against humans plundering her people, she still felt a pang of reluctance when she saw the way those people died, even as a victim herself.
"Heh, I feel nothing. It's simple. It was their own choice. Since they chose to kill me, I naturally have to retaliate and kill them too. In the end, they brought it on themselves."
Chen Hao chuckled and offered an explanation.
"That's quite an excuse, one that's hard to refute..."
Tsukuyomi's doubts were finally answered, and she gained a more comprehensive understanding of the boy in front of her.
He is extremely ruthless towards enemies and adversaries, but treats everyone else with equal respect. Even if someone dislikes him, he will not take any action unless they actually harm his interests or make enemies of him.
They are exceptionally gentle and kind to their own people, even willing to give everything for them.
