Knowing that there was a high chance that Fasta would attempt a rescue, Koutarou and the others couldn’t sit still and do nothing. If they stood by, they would never be able to face the people who had fallen in the battle against the Vandarion faction.

“Should we really be doing this? Fasta-san wasn’t a bad person.”

The old Vandarion faction was merciless and would use despicable means to attack. But that didn’t mean that everyone in the old Vandarion faction was evil. After their chance meeting with Fasta, Yurika pondered whether it was really okay to fight them.

“I know how you feel, Yurika-chan.” Nana, Yurika’s master, felt the same way. Of course, it wasn’t just Nana either. Everyone more or less agreed.

“But they have to take responsibility for what they have done,” said Nana.

“Responsibility...”

When Vandarion had led his forces, so many lives had been lost in the chaos. The battles hadn’t been as big after Ralgwin took over, but people had still died. That fact didn’t change regardless of whether there were decent people among them. They couldn’t be forgiven simply for having a heart or it would imply it was acceptable to change the status quo by force.

“But... But...isn’t it unfair to punish soldiers who are just following orders they can’t refuse?” Yurika asked.

The soldiers on Earth were isolated and forced to follow Ralgwin’s orders. The same was true for the Vandarion faction soldiers after they had become a rebel army. Since they might have been killed if they had refused, they’d had no other choice. Yurika couldn’t accept such soldiers being forced to take responsibility.

“It’s okay, Yurika.”

“Maki-chan?”

“The past is one thing, but in modern law, individual soldiers won’t have to take that much responsibility, although that might not be the case if they chose to do bad things on their own.”

Be it on Earth or Forthorthe, in the past, it wasn’t uncommon to hang enemy troops, even their families. But in modern times, the concept of human rights had evolved, and when individual soldiers weren’t given much of a choice, their crimes weren’t considered so harshly. Of course, that wouldn’t apply if they used military might for evil without orders from above. For example, one might be put to death for a massacre or smuggling drugs. But aside from that, individual soldiers were generally not charged with serious crimes. The worst sentences would be a few years in prison.

“Then what about Fasta-san?” Fasta had a higher position among the ones making the plans, so Yurika feared that she would face serious punishment, unlike rank-and-file soldiers.

Fasta-san is probably prepared for as much... but Yurika still... Guess I have no choice... Koutarou couldn’t stand watching her worry like that. He put his hand on her head and patted her a few times.“Don’t worry, Yurika. She’s serious like Ruth-san, so she wouldn’t do anything evil. Not to mention, she’s cooperated with us twice, which would be taken into consideration. So there’s nothing to worry about.”

Ralgwin was one thing, but Koutarou wasn’t particularly worried about Fasta.
