Chapter 31: Good Night, Minotaur! (Please Collect It!)
[Although it is a man-eating monster, the Minotaur's mentality is not much different from that of a seven or eight-year-old child in your opinion. ]
[It retains the original innocence of life, and does not know what is evil or what is good. It does things based on the most basic and simple judgment logic. ]
[Therefore, the Minotaur eats people, because these people are deliberately sent in by Minos to fill its stomach. ]
[As long as the Minotaur fills its stomach, it will not desperately break out of the maze. ]
[The heroes also have a reason to kill it, don't they? ]
[From beginning to end, the Minotaur passively accepts the arrangement of fate, from birth to death. ]
[It has no right to choose. ]
[In the innocent values of the Minotaur, if you help it and are willing to talk to it, then you are its friend. ]
[It is a good ending to die in the hands of a friend. ]
["Kill me."]
["By the way, before you kill me, can you tell me what your name is?"]
[Your hands trembled. ]
[But you still suppressed some emotions in your heart and whispered: "My name is Zoe, what's your name, big guy?"]
["Minotaur!"]
[It seemed that you didn't expect you to ask a monster's name. The Minotaur was stunned for a moment before reacting. ]
[The voice was unconsciously louder: "My name is Minotaur, Zoe, I remember your name! Will you remember me?"]
["We are friends, of course I will remember your name."]
["That's good."]
[On the ferocious face, filled with a hideous smile that makes people look scared, the Minotaur closed his eyes contentedly, waiting for the arrival of death. ]
[However, it did not wait for the destined death. ]
[Only your gentle words slowly bloomed in the air. ]
["Want to go out and see this beautiful world, my friend?"]
["It must be boring to stay here all the time?"]
[The Minotaur opened his eyes in astonishment, his face full of disbelief and obvious surprise. ]
["Really? Zoe!"]
["I never lie."]
[You have never lied once in your life, and this time is no exception. ]
[You asked Togo to ask Ikaros for a steel rope, tied the rope around the waist of the Minotaur, and led it out of the maze. ]
[It was Togo who suffered. In order to bring this big minotaur out, the white wolf spent a lot of effort and lay on the grass panting. ]
["Is this the world outside the maze?"]
[The Minotaur, who has been trapped in the maze since birth, breathed the air outside the prison for the first time. ]
[That was the breath of freedom. ]
[Outside, there are flowers everywhere. Not far away is the blue, endless sea. ]
[The sea breeze is mixed with a hint of fishy smell, which is not very pleasant, but the Minotaur is intoxicated. ]
[Anna hunted a wild boar. You took out the tools for eating and made a sumptuous dinner for the Minotaur. ]
[The pork is roasted on charcoal, exuding a rich aroma of oil. You sprinkled seasonings, comparable to the skills of a court chef, and the Minotaur praised it highly. ]
[The moon rises, and Togo's nature bursts out, howling at the bright moon. ]
[You and Anna laughed, and in the cheerful atmosphere, the Minotaur's fear of death slowly dissipated. ]
[It sat quietly by the campfire, and its terrifying eyebrows and eyes became kind at this moment. ]
[Two big hands that can easily tear a human body clapped gently, applauding Togo's performance. ]
[You sang and danced awkwardly. ]
[The final farewell. ]
[Until the sun rises the next day. ]
...
The sun shines on the huge body of the Minotaur. Next to it is Alex, who has not slept all night.
"Let's go, Zoe, let's go to the beach."
He lowered his voice and tried not to disturb Togo and Anna who were sleeping soundly.
The Minotaur joked to Alex: "It's time. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to leave."
"Good times are always short, and it's time."
Pick up Anna's black sickle and follow the Minotaur silently.
In his heart, he actually didn't want to kill his new friend.
But the Minotaur did eat people.
And there were more than one or two. The white bones in the center of the maze silently accused it of its sins.
Alex didn't want to kill it, but he had to.
However, before killing the Minotaur, Alex had a question to ask.
"My friend, did you have a good time yesterday?"
"Yesterday was the happiest day of my life."
Enjoying the sea breeze, the Minotaur was extremely relaxed.
It didn't seem like he was facing the end of his life, but rather embarking on a new journey.
"I am very happy to know you, Togo, and Anna before I die."
"I have three new friends, and you are my only friends."
"But I also know that I have committed a great sin."
Alex did not speak, and he did not need to speak.
The Minotaur now only needs a qualified listener, not a judge who judges its right and wrong from a high position.
"I'm very hungry. When I'm too hungry, I'll lose my mind and eat those people. I know they're innocent, but I can't stand the hunger. If I'm too hungry, I'll break out of the maze and kill more people... I can't control myself."
"So, I knew I would be killed. People won't allow a man-eating monster to live in this world."
"I thought I would fight hard in the face of death and kill the hero who came to attack me."
"But the person I met is you, my friend, Zoe."
The Minotaur sat by the sea, staring at the sun that had just risen, his voice was neither light nor heavy.
There was no fear, nor anger.
Only the calmness of a calm heart.
In response to it was a sickle that passed silently, and blood spurted out of the heart.
"It's great that you're the one who killed me."
"Thank you, Zoe."
At the end of his life, the Minotaur still looked into the distance.
It was trapped in a cage all its life, and only hoped that its soul would be truly free after death.
Another gust of sea breeze blew by, and the little flower in the maze that should have died quietly bloomed.
In a trance, it seemed that someone was saying goodbye to it.
"Good night, Minotaur."
