Dilemma

<NORMAL POV>

Yohan apartment.

Yohan now sits contemplating his idealism, it is undeniable that his heart is shaken. The orphanage caretaker's uncle once said Yohan's idealism was empty inside.

Hearing that, Yohan was of course confused and also annoyed when the uncle who had raised him from childhood also said something like mocking his idealism to become a Hero.

But uncle, of course, gave quite reasonable reasons for Yohan, who was still 14 years old. He was a smart child and had an adult attitude when he was still young because Yohan always felt he had a responsibility to bear.

Uncle's reason for saying that to Yohan. A hero in his sense is someone who stands out because of his courage and sacrifice in defending the truth. But according to Uncle, what people can call Heroes are those who dare to take action in their way so that they deserve the title of a hero. even the worst person can be a hero.

Some people ask questions like this. What would you do if you had to save 100 people by killing 1 other person?

Faced with that question, Yohan couldn't answer it properly. However, the uncle was able to give a logical answer.

So if Uncle is faced with a choice like that, what he has to do is do neither.

Hearing their uncle's answer, made Yohan even more confused. If it was like that then it would be the same as ignoring those people in trouble. But the reason was even more shocking.

"It's impossible to save the 100 people because they haven't been saved for sure. But if I kill that one person then what I'm doing is no different from a murderer." Uncle said, he told Yohan to find the meaning behind his answer himself.

It only took 1 day for Yohan to understand the meaning behind Uncle his's words.

After discovering the meaning of Hero from his uncle, he decided to change his idealism a bit. According to his Hero is a person who dares to take action to protect or defend beliefs that he thinks are right.

Yohan already understands that, but there are still doubts about him. He is afraid that someday his Idealism will destroy him mentally. Because there are many realities that he must accept after becoming a Devil.

The more Yohan thinks about it, the more he gets dizzy and forgets about the problem for now. For now, he has to go to work again after a week of absence.

...

Cafe Location.

Yohan got an unexpected guest tonight, before his shift ended, someone came to see him.

They are Sona and the girl Yohan saved from Diodora's depravity, Asia Argento.

The reason she came to meet me was to thank Yohan, it seemed she was very grateful to be able to meet me. Because she had asked Sona and the others several times to take her to Yohan but was always delayed for various reasons.

Since all the problems were resolved, she was allowed to meet me.

"Thank you for saving me Yohan-san!" Asia said she wasn't wearing her nun outfit because of the devils around her.

"Yes... are you okay after the attack must have been traumatized?" asked Yohan, he seemed to wonder if Asia was okay. mentally she must have been traumatized.

Hearing that question, Asia shook her head "No, I'm fine, it was all thanks to you that I was able to survive"

The conversation between the two continued until they ignored Sona who was annoyed there.

"Ahem!" She started coughing fakely, to get his attention.

"Sorry for ignoring you, Sona. So, are you just taking her or is there something you want to say again?" Asked Yohan.

Hearing that, Sona nodded "Yes. We've already contacted Heaven's faction about Argento-san. They were quite surprised that their Holy Maiden could be here. As well as Diodora's crimes we have reported to them, that guy is a jerk to the end." She broke out while talking about Diodora.

"Heaven's Faction was annoyed at first but thanks to Serafall-sama, the situation has stabilized again. They seem to have a new grudge against us due to Diodora's actions." Sona explained.

Then, I was asked to return immediately to the central church for review. But I refused it. Asia said she was now taking on the master of speech.

"I think your decision to refuse their invitation to come back is good, they only see you as a tool. I can guess from your experience if they just turn a blind eye to the problems you are facing right now?" Asked Yohan, Asia had already told her before, and not just she. Sona yesterday also tells about the Asian background.

Hearing Yohan's question, she nodded in agreement "True, when I was still under their shelter, they always worshiped me because I was a saint. But when I made a mistake just once, their attitude toward me changed drastically. Another reason I don't want to go back is life there is like a prison to me." Asia said, with a sad tone.

Hearing that, Yohan turned towards Sona.

"*Sigh*…Rias is trying to recruit her" Sona said, the expression she showed troubled "We had a conflict a while ago, over who would take care of Asia now but she begged me if she needed another piece, she looked distraught over her fiancé whom she doesn't like."

Finally, Sona gave in and gave Asia to her but on the condition that it was Asia's wish.

I'm fine with anyone embracing me but I don't have the goal of becoming a Devil now. Is that okay? Asia asked.

Hearing that, Sona thought for a while before answering. "It's fine if it's just your wish… but what are you going to do now?" After answering the question, she turned to ask Asia.

Asia heard the question, and thought for a moment "What am I doing?" she muttered, "I want to do what I did at the Vatican before but with freedom, I used to be a church like a cage for me because there was no freedom that I had there but it's different here let me take care of that old church." Asia said. She looked into Sona's eyes with confidence and hope.

Sona can only sigh for failing to attract her into the Devil's faction." *Sigh*, I understand. I'll be the one to talk to Rias later" Sona said. Making Asia feel safe for now.
