"Don't close your eyes, look closely." Chiba glanced at Ayumi who was trying to hide behind him, and said slowly. "Look at what they do, speculate on what they think, what they think. If you resist observing this, you'll be here for nothing. ”

"It always feels like these things are kind of like so-called cult plots......" Ayumi said apprehensively.

"It's not a cult plot, it's a reflection of the history of the cult, or rather, the history of the cult that people have done." Chiba looked at the dagger cut that was swaying slightly on the window on his chest. "Hmm...... It's almost over. ”

As he spoke, his surroundings were swallowed up by white light.

…………

There are a lot of people, and they are all civilians.

This is Ayumi's first reaction when everything around her is completely refreshed.

At second glance, Ayumi realized that in front of her, many people were clustered around several people who were tied to crosses on a high platform.

Next to one of the crosses was a middle-aged man with a leather whip and a scarred face—judging by the color of his skin, he must have belonged to the [Hutu] who made up the majority of the country—and he was giving a speech at this moment.

"Just 70 years ago, there was a time when we worked hard to gain our unique position. As long as we can work hard, through our own efforts, each of us can become the so-called 'superior person'. ”

"But when that new group of whites comes here, it's never like that again!"

"The rich become Tutsis forever! Fair-skinned people who meet their so-called 'superior race' criteria become Tutsis permanently! Others, like their fathers and grandparents, are shackled to the 'Hutu' as a permanent sign of inferiority. ”

"The Tutsis, who are obviously lazy and lazy, only got such a name by virtue of the favor of their ancestors, and now they have been privileged for so long under the protection of the white people! Sixty years ago, for every 1 Tutsi, there were 99 Hutus. And now? While there were only 85 Hutu left, there were 14 Tutsis. They just lay on you, me, all of us and suck the blood, making us all the objects of their exploitation! Do you say that the brave and industrious Hutu should accept this humiliation? ”

"It shouldn't!" Everyone in the audience responded in unison.

"Those Tutsis, they think they can ride on our heads forever."

"Those Tutsis, think we can never take revenge on them."

"But today, we're standing here, standing at the door of the path of revenge we've been waiting for for decades."

"But today, we are standing here, standing in front of these privileged classes who eat our flesh and drink our blood."

"I see it on the faces of each and every one of you, and I see the scars left by the unbridled oppression and exploitation of the Tutsis."

"In order to let our compatriots who died in unwillingness and humiliation avenge their grievances, in order to let the children we raise and grow up to stand up to the heavens and the earth, and avoid the hard life of being discriminated against and exploited by others. To prove that we never gave up, to prove that we are capable of standing up, we will swear our revival to the world! Even if we sacrifice everything we have for it, we must rise up and resist, even if we end up dying on the road to fight for our freedom and equality! Because even if we die, we will build an earthly heaven for our children where they can laugh and laugh! ”

"We swear that if we want to take back everything that belongs to us, we will start here and make the Tutsis pay for what they have done!"

"Let us join hands and make our fellow Hutu great again!"

As he spoke, the speaker slammed the whip in his hand on the bound Tutsis, who looked like a family, for the beaters included not only middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, but also elderly couples who looked to be in their sixties and seventies, and two children in their teens.

The moans of the old couple and the cries of the children were accompanied by a flogging performance in response to the speaker's flagellation, and even more fervent cheers from the other Hutu people in the audience.

……

"They...... Here to judge these people, just because they are Tutsis? Ayumi looked at these people in disbelief.

"Well, yes, it's because they're Tutsis – better access to education, more privilege...... The Hutu community has been unhappy with these things for a long time. ”

"But those children and old people are so pitiful......" Ayumi said as she looked at the scene of being whipped, and couldn't bear to say it. Clearly...... They weren't the cause of the incident, were they? Obviously, this kind of thing was only caused by some of them......"

"Strictly speaking, all of them are guilty, men, women, young and old, regardless of what they have done." Chiba looked at the child who was still trying to shrink his body while being tied up because of the pain, trying to curl up. "Even if some of their children are not even old enough to do evil, they have already plundered the Hutu – not the same as what happened to the Jews."

"The Tutsi are a ...... with birth No, to be precise, the privileged class that was already privileged before they were born – they were given preferential treatment by policy and thus gained a higher status. Even a child in the womb has been favored and protected by the whole country at the expense of the Hutu people. So from this point of view, any Tutsi newborn who survives is also not innocent. ”

"And for the same reason, the Tutsis have grown up enjoying all sorts of privileges – they don't have to actively harm the Hutu to exploit and exploit them, they just have to do it without preventing themselves from enjoying it."

"In just 60 years, the proportion of the Tutsi population has increased from 1% to 14% without bringing in too much new blood from the outside world, don't you think this is the most intuitive reflection of their affluent life in society? It's not like only some people enjoy such privileges, and the majority are innocent. In the end, it's the opposite. ”

"All in all, the majority of Tutsis ...... Whether they intend to do evil or not, they have already stepped on other people to make a fortune – and this is the reason for the widespread hatred of the Hutu towards them. ”
