Seitaro was a little surprised by Min's answer.
— Why is there nowhere to go?
Mineko sighed.
— Although, I don't know. But to be there and see it—that's also my dream.
Minsk, after all, might know Emma's status, as I think.
She surveyed the Shinkei and looked at the captive.
- I understand everything. You continue to faithfully perform your function even in this state. Any independent individual in your place would beg for mercy and offer all sorts of benefits for their release, but you only care about the positive outcome of your work, which would please your master. You are a tool, but also a biological organism. You put on a helmet and hid your pseudo-human face so as not to differ from other cogs. If you had left your face uncovered, creatures like Mineko might have thought twice before attacking you, but you spared them the need to consider you as a living person. And yet, you look almost real, - she examined the crossbowman from all sides. - A curious phenomenon.

Imagine, you take off his helmet, and there's a handsome boy with an innocent and noble face. Or even a girl...
Where do we end up when we save the world?
- Another continent? - Goran pondered, imagining the civilization there. Perhaps they have even more formidable weapons, or perhaps quite the opposite, and he could achieve greater success there than here. - It would be interesting to see this new land, although I probably wouldn't stay there. We live quite well here, despite all the drawbacks. But what if it's even worse there?
— Phew, — Bajen waved his hand, — how old was he when he lived there, and what can he remember from there? And the story about the weapons was probably invented by the older generation so that it wouldn't be so shameful to talk about their disgraceful defeat.
- Wasn't all that remained of Nihon just a conquered, devastated land? Those who stayed there... They had nowhere to retreat. And if they are like the warriors I have seen so many of in Shinsekai, then they fought to the last drop of blood and...
Mineko sighed.
- Although, I don't know. But visiting there and seeing it is also my dream.
Lifting her skirts, she headed towards the leader of the Iron Hearts and whispered in his ear:
- The prisoner is failing. I wanted to see why, but I don't have a screwdriver or a knife. What should we do? Maybe we should just dispose of him?
Seitaro didn't comment on his comrade's remarks and instead continued his conversation with Min. "It's regrettable that so few of our compatriots share this idea. Sometimes I feel that the people of Shinsekai forget the goals for which they were sent on this voyage.
Seitaro, however, looked quite young. It was strange to hear these words from him, as if he were almost a captain of one of the Satōri ships, and therefore clearly understood the clan's goals. But maybe he was actually older? The Shinsekai woman decided to ask him a standard question that she had asked many others before:
-- What was Nihon like?

Is the cop trying to establish unity with the Japanese guy again, only to mess everything up later?
Is the cop trying to establish a connection with the Japanese guy again, only to mess everything up later?
By the way, I think Seitaro is even more effective in duels than our Visier. It would be great to recruit him, although it's unrealistic.
-- What was Nihon like?
After that, the old woman returned to the campfire and turned to Emma.
- Well, he's calmed down, at least for now. But it's still best not to approach him, just in case he... breaks down again.
