Manaka's proposal almost opens the door to a new world.
Immediately, Ryota feels that things like morality sometimes become a hindrance to progress.
Alaya, the human desire to survive in the world....
If everything was absorbed by him, the process of accumulating the emotion of "desire" should not be a problem at all.
This way, there's no need for the subsequent process of accumulating points for many adventures, and it will undoubtedly save a lot of time. However, the consequences were serious, or rather, he wasn't sure what they would be.
Although there are many parallel earth worlds in Type-Moon, the two Counter Force do not unite in many worlds, but each world exists independently. Just sacrificing Alaya in one world can pave the way for him great goal, seems like a good deal.
But behind this represents human survival in that world, and the pros and cons cannot be calculated by pure mathematics.
What happens when humans lose their subconscious will to survive?
Ryota doesn't know.
Maybe nothing happened, but very unlikely.
Maybe humans will become like sunfish, dying at any moment.
Maybe the humans would follow Alaya and die suddenly.
Shiro: "No, the sacrifice is too great."
Shiro: "It can only be used as a backup plan."
Ishtar: "..."
Partner of Justice: "..."
The two residents of the Type-Moon World couldn't take it anymore.
What does it mean to just be a backup plan?
Do you really want to try?
Ishtar: "Don't you go crazy after training? Where is your good humanity?"
Shiro: "Listen to your tone, do you know the end of humans after Alaya left?"
Sajyou Manaka: "I'm not going to die, so don't worry about me, Shiro-chan."
Ishtar: "Hey! Don't tempt him to fall into the devil's way!"
Sajyou Manaka: "What's wrong? Isn't the Military Commander System provided by the magic sword? It's okay to fall into the devil's path, and it just destroys the human world. Our world is full of it, so it's nothing."
Partner of Justice: "..."
Ishtar: "Shiro-chan, you didn't really listen to her, right?"
Shiro: "Don't worry, I'm in no rush at this stage. Since the adventure can be completed, why destroy the world? Like I said, it's a backup plan."
Partner of Justice: "Reserve means to be used when this is a last resort, right?"
Shiro: "I'm not going to your side, Kiritsugu why are you nervous?"
Shiro: "Besides, even if I did, humans wouldn't necessarily perish. I have the medicine."
Ishtar: "What medicine?"
Shiro: "After eating Alaya, time in the human world will immediately slow down, reaching a point close to suspension, so they won't die immediately. After I complete 'Bridge of Desire', I will put my own will into survival. It should be able to create a power to replace Alaya and maintain the operations of the human world."
Ishtar: "Uh... Isn't this too weird? This is a big project, can you really do it?"
Shiro: "When I want to collect wishes, I have to complete the Sixth Bridge. I think it shouldn't be difficult in terms of the power of the Sixth Bridge."
Partner of Justice: "Inaho. Do you think Shiro's statement is appropriate?"
Armored Knight: "Too little information and too many variables to make an effective judgement."
Shiro: "So this is a backup plan."
...
Ignoring the possibly frightened Ishtar and Kiritsugu, Ryota wrote down Manaka's suggestion and exited the chatroom. Then suppress distracting thoughts and concentrate on improving his state of mind.
The path must be walked step by step, and now is not the time to struggle with accumulated desires and emotions.
Complete the Sixth Bridge first, then talk about the Seventh Bridge.
"Positive emotions, do you want to hug..."
At home, Ryota who was sitting on the bed in the bedroom muttered, and fell into deep thought.
Among the seven emotions, "joy" equals "love", which is a positive emotion. Hence, he was unable to treat emotions like fear, anger, etc. As an opponent that must be overcome and then controlled.
Building seven bridges means disciplining seven children.
Negative emotions represent children who are very naughty and irritable, who are completely against you, for power, and basically impossible to successfully discipline them without spanking them until they are convinced.
As for the positive emotions, they are all children of literature, and the beating to death method won't work. You have to contact them or get on the radio waves, and then they will accept you and listen to you.
Ryota can't help but remember the experience when he finished "Bridge of Love".
The great love of the god of the fifth day, the Goddess of Dusk, basically contains all love.
Taking the opportunity to integrate this part of love, he naturally managed to deal with "Love" without tension, so the "Bridge of Love" came naturally.
He has to face himself and find the things that bring joy to the depths of his heart. Then trust the heart, and do your best to promote this kind of thing.
In this way, post-promotion feedback, heart resonance and "joyful" emotions can be successfully condensed into a bridge.
This can be very simple or very difficult to do.
The key point is to find something you really like.
This aspect is more specific.
When you want to eat ice cream, ice cream is your favorite thing—this level of love is no basis for building bridges.
It must be a more essential pursuit.
From then on, Ryota fell into philosophical thoughts.
Who am I, where have I come from, where have I gone...
...
The process of finding inner truths is very tedious.
Fortunately, there is always no shortage of flavoring agents in life.
On the third night after the base meeting, Misaki visits the Shirogane house.
It wasn't a formal visit, but sneaking into Ryota's bedroom.
Seeing Misaki's slightly blushing face, Ryota didn't know what to say.
He could only remind: "Little girl, simplicity."
"Shiro-chan, we have a debt to settle, you can't hide it."
Misaki narrowed her eyes halfway, showing a slightly dangerous expression ready to move: "I haven't forgotten you and Hayasaka. To show such an embarrassing thing…"
"You took the initiative to spy on others, right?"
"I don't care. I'm just punishing you."
Misaki's voice was very soft, but somehow it sounded very powerful.
Maybe because of guilt, Ryota felt the pressure.
