World War II can be said to be a war in which the suppressed madness of mankind broke out all at once.
Including the Holocaust, biological experiments, kamikaze, 100 million prison sentences, Nanjing massacre, and more. Insanity was all insanity.

However, there are people who have maintained their ‘humanity’ even in these circumstances. And based on that humanity, he took direct action.
Albert Goering, the younger brother of Hermann Goering, who was the main pillar of Nazi Germany.
Yon Rabe, despite being a member of the Nazi Party, stopped the atrocities of the Japanese army during the Nanjing Massacre.
Likewise, Chiune Sugihara saved the lives of many Jews.
Even in a situation where the world is heading towards the end, they maintain a minimum of humanity and are enough to be called righteous.
However, there is one person who stands out and is the most recognizable among them, and his name is Oskar Schindler.
He is a righteous man who protected over 1,000 Jews even while bankrupt, and he is a representative of ‘humanity’ in many ways.
[Oskar Schindler is corrupt, snobbish, and morally flawed. But he gave everything to protect the Jews.]
[The chaotic world makes people realize their true nature. Oskar Schindler is a case in point.]
[He is not a hero. He’s not even a gentleman. He was just a normal human being.]
Usually those who achieve such feats are good-hearted and good-natured. But Oskar Schindler is far from that.
The reason he went to Poland during World War II was to make a lot of money. He built a factory there and used Jews as workers.
Until then, he didn’t have much of a heart, but as time passed, Schindler had a change of heart.
[Even Schindler would have known that Jews were human beings. That’s why he wouldn’t have been able to watch the massacre with his eyes open.]
[He saved countless people with what he was good at. That’s all.]
Oscar Schindler was originally a member of the Nazi Party. He was even a spy for the German Ministry of Defense, and he held a mid-level position.
However, I did not have grandiose intentions like a mustache aspiring art college, but simply did not have enough money.
It was a very Schindler-like reason, but ironically, it saved the lives of Jews later.
[Even Oskar Schindler would have known that they were innocent. He has no reason to be persecuted and slaughtered simply because he is a Jew.]
[There is one reason Schindler is impressive. He was a greedy human being, but ironically, he did not abandon his humanity.]
[If he had abandoned his humanity, he would have inflicted all sorts of persecution on the Jews. It will have a lot of influence on the humanities.]
Everybody knows that the world of blood and steel exists. That’s why the story about Oskar Schindler couldn’t help but be moving.
Especially, the demons will have no choice but to be touched the most. Because Jews and demons had a lot in common.
Oskar Schindler is far from a good man, but paradoxically, he is a more significant figure.
[Blood and Steel showed the horrors of war and development without dreams and hopes. It showed the human figure that humanity loses.]
[But Oskar Schindler is the opposite. It is a story of a person who loses his humanity and only seeks greed and gradually regains his humanity.]
[Human nature manifests itself in chaos. But I don’t mean to cause confusion.]
The Gaiden of Blood and Steel, that is to say Oskar Schindler, received tremendous acclaim.
As I said now, the main story was able to maintain excellent sales thanks to my reputation, but the readers got tired as the second half went on.
It’s nice to see Nazi Germany and Japan getting beaten up by the Allies, but there was nothing but war and politics to talk about.
Of course, after the appearance of the atomic bomb, it again attracted attention, but in many ways, it remains unchanged that it is a development without dreams and hopes.
I wrote the story of Oskar Schindler in this situation, so it was done properly at least to arouse the atmosphere.
‘The title was enough to attract aggro.’
The title of Blood and Steel Gaiden is Conscience. As the background was World War II, which was full of madness, it was enough to attract attention.
It is very difficult to keep one’s conscience in war, and even if you are not a soldier, you must abandon your conscience when you see the situation in Nazi Germany.
But Oskar Schindler is the opposite. He is a character who originally had no conscience, but gradually changes over time.
As I said before, many people are discussing it because it was worthy of in-depth research both in terms of humanities and philosophically.
‘Though nothing will change.’
Of course, it won’t have a big impact on reality. It’s just that something like this happened.
The demon tribe, which was no different from the world version of the Jews, was saved because of me. In the first place, they are treating me like a saint.
So I guessed that nothing would happen if I showed him Oskar Schindler.
If there was any reason, Cecily would look at me with strange eyes?
This has always been the case, so I was able to skim through it.
[The shocking confession of the Animers. During the Tribal War, the founding king, Hick, was a slave.]
But why?
[There is a record that the one who rescued the first warchief was a man with red hair and lion-like eyes.]
Are they suddenly treating our ancestors as Oskar Schindler? To be precise, he is a person who is presumed to be an ancestor.
I couldn’t help but blink my eyes when I saw the article that was supposedly spread by Jinai.
We know that Hick, the founding king and the first warchief of the Animers, was a slave. Because Clark told me.
I also know that the person who rescued Hick, who was a slave, is a man with red hair and golden eyes. Clark told me this too.
But apart from that, not a single thing was announced to the world. Because I didn’t have to tell you.
I wondered if Jinai put it in for media play, but since my status is my status, that kind of thing won’t work.
But why did he take such a risk? First of all, Leona was urgently called, but the priority is to inform Clark.
“Grandpa. What do you think of this?”
[What do you mean?]
At my question, he stuttered, as always, with a world tree leaf cigar in his mouth.
I had already revealed all of my identity, so I didn’t even wear the armor that covered my body. Thanks to that, you can openly smoke a cigar.
“The first founding king of the Animers was a slave our ancestors rescued.”
[Didn’t I tell you that before?]
“I didn’t know it was real.”
Because he was connected to Leona, he also knows about Hick. First of all, he used a battle ax, that is, an ax, as his main weapon.
When you meet a true enemy or fight as a warrior, not as a king, it is only about fighting with his claws.
He is also famous as a person who gathered and united the beastmen spread all over the world. I only know this far.
I was dubious about the fact that Clark told me, but the record suddenly popped out and I had no choice but to check it again.
[That’s right. There are so many legends passed down in our family. Still, it won’t be very credible. Since he was a slave, he must have been more special.]
When Clark heard me, he habitually scratched his head and replied in an ambiguous voice.
I asked in a suspicious voice.
“Then maybe.”
[Of course, because of the devil worshipers.]
Is this also directly related to the devil worshipers? I asked for more clarification.
So Clark took a deep breath of his cigar and exhaled, talking softly.
[Before I took the task myself, there is a method my family has been using to track down devil worshipers. Digging directly into the dark.]
“There is no place in the shadows untouched by devil worshipers, right?”
[Yes. And slavery was abolished less than 100 years ago. 300 Years ago, the slave trade was active. Do you know that during the Tribal Wars, beastmen were captured as slaves?]
Of course, everyone knows. Anyone who has studied history at all knows this.
During the Tribal Wars, under the shadow of the human union, they waged a war against the elves with the support of the demons. Here, Suin joined the side of the Elves.
According to Leona, there was a reason why it had to be so, because the beasts plundered human countries from time to time like barbarians.
If you look at the savages still openly remaining in the northern region, you will understand the reason, at least roughly.
“I know. And I know that humans have driven beastmen to the brink of extinction.”
[It’s extinct… That’s how it’s written in the records.]
“Is there another reason?”
[They were randomly taken by demon worshipers for being slaves. He also spread contagious diseases while experimenting with living organisms.]
A calm but harsh truth came out of Clark’s mouth.
Certainly, it was a bit strange that a non-ethnic race could be brought to the brink of extinction simply by massacre.
Although they were scattered all over the place while living in a tribe, it must have been work to find them one by one.
Moreover, it would have taken a lot of effort in many ways to find the prisoners during the time to focus on the tribal war.
[Cunning. If they had done that to humans, their identities might have come to the surface. Besides, at that time, beastmen were before civilization, so the ability to transmit information must have been extremely slow.]
“It must have been no task to annihilate a tribe.”
[That’s right. Sup- Whoa.]
Grandpa Clark took another deep breath on his cigar and then let it out.
I glanced down as I watched the smoke disperse. Perhaps he was bored, he was trimming the pieces with a dagger.
[I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but devil worshipers had the power to change history. Right now, all the upper heads have been blown away and the identity has been revealed, so it’s only at the level of a pseudo-religion.]
“Your grandfather accomplished great feats. After all, that doesn’t mean he has no credibility at all, does he?”
[Probably so. He would have been destroying slave traders associated with devil worshipers. To be honest, I didn’t really believe it because I only heard it as a legend.]
This is a family that achieves heroic feats as if breathing. In fact, they hate to see their achievements known.
Perhaps it is because the sins of the ancestors may be revealed.
Push-
I sat next to Grandpa Clark and watched in silence what he was carving. A woman’s face is being sculpted.
It’s a hand with only bones, but it’s a pretty elaborate piece, probably because it’s quite good with dexterity.
“Who are you?”
[Hawk Amy.]
“··· ···”
It is a remark that can only be momentarily startled. As is common with people at that age, his talk is thick.
As he sculpted more precisely, he brought up old stories like his grandfather.
[If that legend is true, it is very likely that the other legends are also true. It’s hard to believe because it’s passed from mouth to mouth.]
“What is the representative legend?”
[Something like diving into the sea to find the god of the sea and hunting the kraken. Or that he made some mines for Machina, etc. Quite a lot.]
“··· ···”
I’m a little surprised if that’s all true. Even if he is simply ignorant, considering his family’s armed forces, his reliability is not low.
Didn’t even my father subdue the dragon with the help of the army? His grandfather went one step further and killed all the lords.
‘Isn’t that a bit forced…?’
If something happened in history, it seems to be closely related to our family. In other words, the family itself is like England.
Still, I think it would be better not to know about this. Because it could have caused some confusion.
Yes. Up until this point, I thought I’d stop worrying about it. Because good is good
“Thank you very much, Isaac. Thanks to Isaac, I was able to overcome my ordeal.”
“······What did I do?”
“I was able to convince Count Leticia by realizing what Isaac really wanted.”
What else is this time?
You’re misunderstanding something again, so your eyes are so bright.
