The Planet of Humans and dolphins

Chapter 5 Inner Spanky Judge

"Doc, why do wars happen?"The unexpected question from Max is ordinary.Quickly access the brain's data bank and communicate the retrieved information to the child in an easy-to-understand manner.It was good to head training for Doc."Are you doing peace learning at school?""I didn't mean..."Max, sipping from his cup from time to time, told Doc the story about David's big brother.Recently, the role of boiling water was assigned to Max.At home, she said, "Because it's dangerous," he only allowed me to operate the microwave to heat drinks or other meals.At the "Laboratory", Max was willing to offer the role of boiling water.On this day, Doc opened a pack of Earl Gray tea in the store, instead of the wild herb tea picked by Doc.It is prepared for a visitor, and Max was curious to see the package and ordered the drink of the day.The both, temperature and the amount of ice thrown into the glass are rising as summer approaches.The tea that Max boiled felt a little lukewarm, but he accepted it as it was.Until He will be able to make tea at just the right temperature in time, lukewarm tea will not be bad either."It was good, David's brother got dumped. because It would have been dangerous to be sent to Afghanistan."Almost every day, TV and newspapers reported the fighting in Afghanistan and the number of casualties.The public was worried that this would be a second Vietnam.Even if the astronauts take the stage at the elementary school, the returning soldiers do not appear.For elementary school students, and even for the majority of the nation, the war is an unrealistic event in a distant country, only on the screen."You know I am a dolphin researcher, right?"Max nodded."Dolphins and whales can't do syllogism."<Syllogism> is a representative of words that you have heard but do not know the content of."Every living thing will die someday → Human beings are living things → So human beings will die someday""So, A = B, B = C, therefore A = C, substitute three times between the three things. that is syllogism"Dolphins have a brain that is comparable in size to humans.Previously, some scientists expected dolphins and whales to have more information processing power than humans.they have more rational than human beings, only the definition of intelligence is different.However, in an experiment conducted by a Japanese researcher, it turned out that dolphins can substitute up to the second level, but not the third level.I'm inclined to side with the dolphins myself, but it seems the highest intelligence is human on the planet.Doc shrugged so, but his expression didn't look disappointing."What does that have to do with war?"Doc answered clearly."The other day you said that your middle school's basketball team won the district tournament."Max nodded silently."That's what is.""Our school has the winning team is great"↓"I am a member of the school"↓"That's why I'm great""This 'selfish syllogism that works in our head, this is the cause of all conflicts."Since it was Doc's usual way to approach another storyMax was silently listening to the story of the syllogism.But, Max was not convinced by the current Doc's explanation.Also, he seemed to be badly told about himself and his school, and he felt dissatisfied with it.His dissatisfaction manifested itself in his facial expression.Seeing Max's face, Doc took over the words."You know the United States was at war with Japan and Germany?"Both I and my friends watch Japanese anime every week, and my friend's brother longs to become the owner of Benz.I can't believe the US was at war with such countries a long time ago.About a hundred years ago, an idea spread among the Japanese."Japan is great people, god-protected."↓"And I'm Japanese"↓"That's why I'm a great people of God."The idea that "we are the best" gave rise to the growth of ego, which led to the invasion of neighboring countries."Finally, they also turned the US into the enemy, be burned the land, and after two nuclear bombs, At last finally realized that they were not the god's people who lived in the gods land."Max recalled a picture in his history textbooks of a mushroom cloud welling up over Hiroshima."The same phenomenon occurred in Germany."The thought of "Aryan supremacy theories". Invade neighboring countries, govern and seize. The scheme was the same as in Japan."Don't Hitler give a bad speech and make the Germans go to war?"Hitler's face and name were familiar to children not only in history lessons, but also as an icon of evil that they see in games, dramas, and on various occasions."It's just one aspect of the phenomenon. Hitler alone couldn't cause it."He wrote a word on the whiteboard."Inner Judge""I'll tell you one secret. There's a mental parasite in the human head called Inner Judge."This Inner Judge feeds on the inferiority complex within people to keep them alive.Doc went on to explain."And the first dark magic used by this 'Inner Judge' is 'selfish syllogism', I mentioned earlier."Germany, which was defeated in World War I, suffered a large amount of compensationThe domestic economy collapsed and the people were in poverty.It did tighten their stomachs and paid out of their own pockets.But the real harm is eroding their self-esteem.Germany was overwhelmed by the inferiority complex that they were the miserable people of the defeated nation.Then, a man with great eloquence appears."You are not miserable and inferior, but rather the best Aryan in the world."His speech transformed their inferiority complex into a distorted sense of superiority.The German people were so enthusiastic about the man's speech that they fell into elitism and supremacism.This was the driving force that propelled them into war."Certainly Hitler was a rare orator, and he led the German people in the wrong direction.""Still, no one would have listened to his words without the foundation of inferiority complex among the people."Hitler rubbed a match and threw it into the gas field, where the odor flickered.The ignition of the gas, the inferiority complex that erupts from the ground, caused a huge explosion that burned down Europe."In Japan, there was no clear instigator like Hitler and no dictatorship like the Nazis."Japan, had been closed to other countries for a long time in the form of isolation.To contact with the West and witnessed the lagging behind in physique, culture, and political system.Then Japan had a complex with the Western powers.As in Germany, the inferiority complex was the driving force behind the distorted idea that "we are the divine nation, god protect us ."Also, It is toward invading other countries."When japan won the pre-WWII war, the people rushed to the government to 'get more war reparations.'"Even after hearing the explanation so far, Max was dissatisfied.he wanted to think that something different was the cause of the warhe wanted to think that something different was the true nature of "evil.""Isn't that the case only in those two countries? And I remember, the teacher said before that the war was caused by the scramble for resources.""Will we start thinking about how to share the resources and save as much as possible?""Or let the egoism go run wild and say, "We are great, so we can monopolize. to take all of them away."He said so himself and couldn't help but be awarded the emptiness.How many lives have been killed and how many people have been poverty-stricken by this dark magic that has been rambled in the past?Inner Judge that nestles in our minds is constantly whispering in our ears."You are greater than others," and "that's why you can take it.""Therefore, the answer to your question is,' People wage war with an inferiority complex.' "This growing inferiority complex that occurred in Germany and Japan is called "nationalism."This is a phenomenon since modern times, and before the Middle Ages, the object that Inner Judge instructed to cling to was religion."The Crusaders, the Huguenot War, and all the religious wars human beings had met in the past are happening under the order of Inner Judge, 'Show others, you are great.'"At the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, several Christian denominations are crowded together and perform their rituals at each different times."We memorize most scriptures. Our sect is the closest to God, the other denominations are below," they said in their mind."Every religion's guru must have set the doctrine with thought."They wouldn't have expected it to be misused by Inner Judge, saying, "Those who believe in this doctrine are better than others."Inner Judge divides the sect into many sects, saying, "Set a better doctrine and set yourself apart from others."In the Inquisition in medieval Europe, it was even used as a reason for execution, saying, "We who know the essence of God are allowed to murder."Max recalled an elderly woman gossiping in the bazaar hall, "I wonder what those sectarians are thinking when they are going to hell.Even today, a terrorist mumbles "God is great" and pulls the trigger of a bazooka.At that moment, Inner Judge whispers in his ear, "Therefore you, his follower, are great.They do not battle to honor God. I need to kill someone to honor myselfInner Judge as parasites that nest in the mind quickly swaps "God" and "You".It's so momentary that is like a magician's sly hand.The man who pulls the trigger can't aware that the replacement has taken place.No guru of any religion would say, "If you killed heathen that will not hinder you from going through the gates of heaven."Inner Judge makes the murder justifiable."One philosopher called religion opium."The drug comforts us, saying, "We are not inferior, but rather superior."It acts so strongly on the brain that goes beyond the guru's words, "We must be merciful."Although Doc hesitated about the uneasy topic, he thought that he might be old enough to start thinking about such cases. - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - Doc added two more words under Inner Judge on the whiteboard. One is the "selfish syllogism" that was explained earlier.Another newly added word was "vanity Hi & Low"."This 'vanity Hi & Low's the second dark magic used by 'Inner judge'."He continued to explain that, Not only big objects such as religion and ethnic thought but also those who are trapped by "Inner judge" will seek dependence on every little thing in their daily lives.For example, if you are driving a car, the brake lights will light up on the car in front of you on a slope. Then the judge whispers. ″You can slow down with just the engine brake. You are a better driver than him″.Waiting for the traffic light, you found a rubbing mark on the side of the car next to you."You have never rubbed. You are better than him"Excessive speeding and receiving a traffic ticket."Public servants, such as police officers, do menial work and get paid. You're not. You don't belong a vulgar job of bullying people. You're better. What they caught this time was some kind of mistake.″"He likes to draw empty lines in his head about everything, to assign superiority and inferiority, and to always believe that he is the superior person."In this way, he becomes proud of himself and at the same time tries to forcefully wipe away his sense of inferiority.It doesn't matter any objects to cling to and their rationale.Everything is something he forcefully made up in his mind."It doesn't matter, for example, some of your classmates may say,' I was born first in our grade.'"He said that it is a common phenomenon in childhood to want to give superiority or inferiority by knowledge, saying "I know / you don't know".Max recalled how David sneered at Daniel, "LL, you don't even know that.It's a scene Max has seen many times."These days, they also call it 'one-up them'."Your friend is volunteering. Then Inner Judge whispers.this case, he who volunteers will be up than you, and you will be on down than him."Would this child also start volunteering?No, he convinces himself, "Volunteering doesn't make sense. He's just earning Brownie points, he has an ulterior motive."Your friends have studied and can speak French."It just happened that the person who taught her was on her side. I don't have the opportunity to use French, it's meaningless," he comforts and convinces himself.Dare to listen to unpopular songs and be comforted by the whispers of Inner Judge, "You're the superior one who can understand the merits of this. They have been brainwashed by the made-up, trivial hit charts," He is comforted by the whispers of Inner Judge.Those who are more dominated by Inner Judges also do more active acts, such as spreading bad rumors."Good! You dragged it down. Now you're higher than them!"We can see a lot of that these days, especially on the Internet."You've criticized them. You've pulled them down. You're the one who is up than them."Those trapped in Inner Judge do nothing constructive, such as volunteer or learn French.Just keep attacking others and desperate for an act of hate.It not only hurts others, but it hurts your life as much as or more than that.Nothing remains meaningful. Inner Judge is just satisfied.It's all an illusion working in the minds of those trapped in inferiority complexes, constantly creating objects to hang on to and encouraging crazy behavior."When the clinging object becomes a big thing such as religion or nation,When the aggression in the individual people becomes a combined force,That was the driving force behind the war."Want to peck some Cracotte?"He brought Max a cup of tea and a bucket full of Cracotts from the kitchen.This will not interfere with dinner after returning home.About 20 years ago, Japanese electronics and cars were taking the world by storm. At that time, my Japanese friends were very proud of that.The friend was neither involved in product design nor assembled on the production line.However, it just worked selfish syllogism in his head, that Japanese products are excellent → and I am Japanese → so I am excellent."It was about 70 years ago that the United States had a war with Japan, but at that time Japan had few products that could be proud of to the world."But it doesn't matter.We are the superior Yamato race, the people of God.Because it is possible to create any number of ideas to hang on to.In Germany, all the neighboring countries were Christians, so it was necessary to create a new Aryan supremacy theory.On the other hand, Japan has redesigned the ancient Yamato people's identity.The illusion that Inner Judge creates in this mind using "selfish syllogism" is the root cause of the war."No matter what nation, what race, or what religion you believe in, you can fall into this trap.""But America is different, isn't it?" Max asked timidly."Come on, do you remember that last year there was a US Open tennis match?"In the final match, an American player who has won three times was pitted against a foreign player."The moment a foreign player overturned her reputation and won the victory, a big boo happened from the audience."Essentially, if you can watch a good and exciting game, you should be satisfied no matter which country the player wins.Booing happened because many of the audience wanted a scheme of "American is great at sports" → "You are Americans" → "So you are great".If the American player won, they would have been intoxicated with the euphoric feeling that "we are great" by the selfish syllogism.And yet, this foreign player took away that opportunity."The volume of the booing suggests that quite a few Americans are obsessed with Inner Judge."When they sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" some of them are making offerings to Inner Judge in their minds, by saying, "I am a great American."Doc told Max.Even the British, the rational and polite people, often think that they are exceptional in the EU and should be treated specially.Because they couldn't slip out from their clinging."Originally we are the Pax Britannica British Empire with territories all over the world,"He is not the admiral of the colony 150 years ago, nor an officer, nor a laborer, nor a soldier in the guard.Not the descendants of those people.He just happened to be born in England in this era.Yet, they unknowingly think that the majesty of the British Empire is their credit.Rather, a country that was big in the past is more likely to fall into a trap.Because "You should go back to what you were great," said Inner Judge.In Italy, another dictatorship during World War II, fascism emerged from the plight of people's lives due to the recession, just like in Germany.The propaganda was "We are descendants of the glorious Roman Empire."If the world economy falls into a depression again, some inferiority complex British may begin to claim that "the territory of the British Empire is our original territory."Some Turks claim that the Ottoman Empire is their true form.In another country, the Age of Discovery and mercantilism were the original form.And they will elect politicians who will regain their former territories and build up their military to secure their interests.Those who are obsessed with Inner Judge, become arrogant, fall into a frenzy cannot make correct decisions."Japan believed that no matter how different the national power from the United States, we with God's blessing could win."They believed that no matter how inferior the battle situation was, the "Kamikaze wind" would blow and sink all the enemy ships. "Great us" cannot be defeated.The Japanese also believed in the idea that even if they died in battle, they could live in peace in heaven called "Yasukuni" as a painkiller."You mentioned earlier that the cause of the war was a scramble for resources. There is a social experiment in which the homeless are given a lot of food."He brought the given foods to his companions and shared them with everyone.Is it a matter of course?Because of his inferiority complex of being homeless, he was able to create and cling to the illusion that "I'm really a noble person" on the inside."If Inner Judge didn't grow up inside him, or if he controlled the original venomous snake, he's a hero, even if he's homeless."Max's body sank deep into the couch, and in his eyes Doc looking down, it looked like an animal stuck in a swamp."America is a country of justice, and I don't think there is such an inferiority complex."Max wanted to say that, but for some reason, he couldn't say so.Alexander the Great obeyed Inner Judge's whisper, "Show your greatness."Wanting a wider territory, all the cities have the same name as him.He was a slave to Inner Judge, even though he conquered a quarter of the continent.The president of one country follows Inner Judge's voice, "show the world what a tough guy hunting a bear looks like."The country's citizens think, "The cars, the appliances, the movies being shown, the excellence is all foreign.""They must be ridiculing us, saying 'we are a stupid nation who believed in socialism.' "The operators of cyber attacks are relieved by attacking."Greek Orthodox is more purer. That means our race is superior, And I'm a member of this race, so if this race is superior, that means I am superior, well I have never once been to the chapel." he thought."This bullish president is going to invade and take our territory and dispels our inferior.""He will prove to the world that we are a great race of people."Such public expectations underpin the country's military orientation."If there is to be another great war, it will be between a nation trapped in an inferiority complex and a nation with a more mature mentality that has outgrown it."One Indian ascetic has been raising his right hands in the air for decades in ascetic practice, and his blood has become impotent and hardened like a mummy.But the Indian ascetic is proud of it.Inner Judge will satisfy him by saying, "You are the one who accomplished this penance. They can't do it. They are below you."It's a stupid story.If he could use both hands, he could have done more something for those in need.Humans are rather unaware of what they are thinking and what they are doing."It is natural for you to live a good life because you are above them."In modern society, this judge's whisper is a reason that powerful countries raking up gathering wealth.It is also the basis of the deprivation economy, that does not care about hunger and poverty on the other side of the globe.The tea that Doc poured to Max had cooled completely in his palm without drinking it."It wasn't a pleasant story."It's time to round up the story and urge the boy to go home.And "I can't accept the story anymore," said the expression on his face."When you're critical of others, and when you're jealous of their success, you know that you have an Inner Judge inside you."But catching Inner Judge is a daunting task, he continued.because people don't pay as much attention to their own words and actions as they do to the words and actions of others.Because people can't pay attention to what they say and do"For myself, you can only deal with Inner Judge by always doing an inner self-check.""But we can discern if others are trapped by judges."Doc told Max that the people trapped in Inner Judge can't use to say the two words.One of them is the word "I'm sorry"."Don't apologize, then you'll be on below and the opponent on the above," Judge brakes.Max remembered one incident.When David had taken away by deception the item on the game from Daniel.Max and Marlo convinced David to return it.David finally complied."But David didn't say 'I'm sorry until the end...""And they can't even say 'thank you."Again, Inner Judge brakes."Great you don't have to thank others, It's natural for everyone to serve you.""If you say 'Thank you, the other person will be in a higher position and you will be the loser."Those who do not say 'Thank you and 'I'm sorry.If you meet someone like that, you should pray for that person to be free from Inner Judge."Doc advised Max so at the end. - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - On his bike, Max ruminated the story he had just heard.I felt like I could understand it, but there were many parts that I couldn't swallow."Don't you know that?" Every time we say so, Inner Judge grows up.It's hard to believe that not being able to say "thank you" is the same as the cause of war."Then, if we don't eliminate Inner Judge among all the people, will the war not disappear? But can we do that?"On his way home, it was still June, and even though there was still sunshine, Max felt that the cold was soaking into his body.There is a terrifying "something" lurking in the world, which afflicts people and makes them contend with each other.If Max don't get home soon, It seems like it's about to jump out of the side of the road in front of the bike, in total darkness.Or is that "something" not on the outside, but in the individual's head, as Doc said?Is Inner Judge that true figure?I didn't want to think so.Today Max felt even lonelier and gloomier than usual on my way home.He wanted to see the animation that will be aired in the evening at "Labo" if possible.Mother isn't on duty today, so the house lights should be onSoon the night insects will start chirping.By then, he has to stay home.Max speeded up my pedaling foot while thinking of his mother's appearance with distorted eyebrows. - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - Ned couldn't believe the sight in front of him.A while ago, he was strutting down the hallway with his cronies, looking like he owned the place.And yet, now, somehow, the stupid little kid is standing right in front of me, looking up at me.″What the hell is this...? ″Any student at this school will open the way and rely on the edge when I walk down the hallway.Everyone does.Because I am the absolute king of this school.And yet, the little boy right here in front of me now, instead of avoiding me, stands in front of me and glares at me.And yet, the bitsy right here in front of me now, instead of avoiding me, stands in front of me and glares at me.Don't you know the rules of this school?Or is it a crazy guy?For Ned, something completely unexpected happened.I had a lot of trouble today from the morning.Rubbing with my big brother in the order of using the washroom, and various thingsThat's always the case, and I know how to deal with my brother.The problem is that the father would have to cut in."Shut up, you guys! Stop your fussing!"The father himself is grumpy in the morning.No, it was not only in the mornings that his father was grumpy, but all the time he lived and breathed.The two brothers were skirmishing when their father's grumpy contradiction pointed his sword at them.Even if it's not the case, the busy morning scene gets messed up.The morning scene that is always busy gets even completely complicatedFor Ned, the number of enemies has increased to two, which means a battle that cannot be won.Ned went to school feeling a throbbing pain in his right and left shoulders hit by both his brother and father, respectively.When he sat down in his seat in the classroom, the whole class was horrified by his angry swordplay.They were prepared to have to be more careful in what they said and did today than usual.Neither his father nor his brother hit his face.Before he made a bruise on his face and went to school, then The trio came to interview him at his houseThe package is a teacher, a civil welfare officer, and a police officer.Since then, he hasn't been hit above his neck.If he makes a bruise on his face and goes to school, he can't preserve one's honor of the king.So, for Ned, that was something to be thankful for.But that one-time visit did nothing to solve the problems in Ned's life.Two lambs popped up in front of Ned who has maximally grumpy.As he was walking along, conversing with his cronies, he suddenly collided with someone's body and reflexively pushed this person away.It shouldn't have happened that someone bumped into me.Even if I walk without looking ahead, all the other students should care about my path.In this school, they have to constantly worry about whether I'm there or not.I pushed the first one, which was walking in a daze, and after he rolled down the hallway, I noticed something strange.The guy is wearing some kind of device on his leg.What's wrong with his leg?But I never care if his leg is impaired.Even if he cannot walk swiftly, I will not allow anyone to block my path for any reason.The guy who was carelessly wandering around was at fault.Of course, there is no need to apologize.Someone should have educated this goofy that he shouldn't cross in front of me?While Ned hesitated about how to deal with the handicapped child, a second one popped up.What did he misunderstand?, He even thought I was teasing this rolling goofy.He stood in front of me as if he was hiding goofy, and glared at me.The world is full of strange things.The one who bumps me and another one who glares at me.There is no reason for such a person to be in this school.At any rate, I'm at the top of the school.Everything doesn't mesh well today.Everything makes me sullen.I'm also pissed that my cronies in the back don't support anything.I usually take big care of them, but they are only standing behind me.Later, I'll give them a tight punishment.Ned was worried that the passing teacher would see this situation.He needed to withdraw from this place as soon as possible.Should I shove him away too, before teachers come? are they friends with each other?If I push him a little stronger, I can blow off it easily.After that, I should leave this place calmly.But, I'll let them go.My cigarettes were found in the last inspection.My penalty points are Full.The principal and homeroom teacher had just warned against me, with the words, "If anything happens again, you will be suspended from school."I don't smoke at school.I just had it to freak out the other guys.I'm just going to graduate.And yet, damn it, I'm out of luck.This kid is glaring at me. Hit him too?No, that's not good. Some students are looking at me around.If I hit, someone might report to the teacher.So it's not good to hit.If I'll retreat, they'll look down on me.He's not afraid of me?Or, does he want to be a hero of justice to help a handicapped boy?I have to show my dignity to both the cronies behind me and all the guys in this school.Damn! If one of the two had started to cry, I could walk away with a look that said it couldn't be helped.If that happens, I can preserve my honor, What should I do?We all seek it when we are in trouble or run into problems.The right answer.The one who can show us the way to get there.That's what Ned wants now.But he didn't know.That his father and brother want it as well.And the boy who stood in front of him was also the same.Max couldn't believe what he was doing.I'm glaring at Ned with trepidation."Why did I end up like this..."I've realized that it was Ned who pushed the child.It's a person I usually don't get involved with.Like the other students, they said, "Far from Jupiter, far from thunder."But for some reason, at this time, I jumped out and stood in front of Ned.If I were my normal self, I would never do such a thing.When I learned, I faced the man who was looking down on me, he was the Incredible Hulk.Ned is snorting violently, and do threatening hand-raising gestures many times.Each time, Max also held his hands in front of him to guard.I felt more dead than alive.But I have to manage to keep my legs from trembling.I can't show my weaknesses.Behind me, the boy who was pushed must be lying.But I didn't have time to look back and confirm.If I look away for a moment, Ned may strike me.″I bet it would hurt if he hit me...Max was confused, but at the edge of his field of vision, he found several students looking far away.They are looking at how things go.″Would someone calls a teacher..."I couldn't help but have such a wishless wish.Should I say something to Ned?But what should I say?I couldn't find the right words to say, and I had a feeling that any single word made Ned angry.During confusion and fear, I suddenly felt someone touch my shoulder from behind.Looking at the profile for a moment, I knew that the man who was standing next to me is Marlo.All three could not find the right words to say.Ned was surprised that one more person appeared.But, he continued to pose with a strong gaze and was menacing.It was a dead stalemate between the two Ned vs. M alliances.Marlo, my best friend, and ally has helped me many times in the past, but I've never felt as reliable as he is now.Just before, our sense of tension snaps, a voice of help finally rang out.Someone yelled, "The teacher is coming!"Maybe we also Ned would have turned around and left the place.But I had no memory of it.I just found myself walking down the hallway with Marlo, only feeling a heartbeat and a cold sweat."Someone said you were fighting with Ned, so I flew to you..."Marlo talk on and on with his flushed face and a panicked voice."Oh, yeah, that's right...""So, why'd you pick a fight with Ned?""I didn't do anything stupid."Max told the story to Marlo, I saw Ned pushing another student and I jumped out of the way."I didn't get a good look at him, but I probably think he was wearing something like a foot aid.""I see, so that's it..."Marlo finally got it, why Ned's cronies had only watched from a distance.Because they felt bad about Ned pushing the handicapped kid away."But when I got there, there was no one like that.""Yeah, before I knew it, he had already gone...""What, he just left without saying thanks? What a heartless guy," Marlo retorted."Is he a lower grade student? Maybe he had wandered into this building over here″, Max thought."But Ned isn't a big deal unexpectedly."Marlo is bragging, but his voice was quite trembling,Max pretended not to notice for friendship's sake.However, Max's voice and knees were trembling more than Marlo's."You mentioned to me, that picking a fight without a win is stupid?"Max did his best to remain calm as to ask."Hmm, sometimes that's not the case, besides, "helping each other in tough times" is the first article of our alliance."Yes, the bond of the M alliance was as solid as the D alliance."And, there is a possibility to stand a good chance of winning, if it takes two of us."When Marlo got back his usual voice tone, Max's trembling also calmed down."Anyway, today's our enemy isn't Ned.""What do you mean?""Next is a discussion class. We're going to form a united front and defeat that cheeky Amy, right?""Oh, that's right."Max was relieved now that he really didn't have to get into a fight.While returning to the classroom, Max looked back once more toward the hallway where the incident took place.After that, Max sometimes remembered and looked for the boy from the corner of his eye.But, could not find him."Yeah, what about getting rid of stray dogs?""Oh, we're not going to do that."An unexpected reply came back to the question Max suddenly remembered."It seems that dog gave birth to a puppy. Samuel saw the feeding scene, It seems that five were born. <the guy> was a mother."Max tried to imagine the pregnant mother dog running from place to place and to keep looking for food."Then I can't get rid of it, but I wonder if the puppies will be caught because they can't run fast... ""Why don't we try to find someone to keep puppies?""It's a good idea, "If you abandon the weak, the man will be spoiled."Marlo said, imitating the lines of the main character of the trendy detective drama.Children are always on their side. Even if it's puppies.The story of a brave but reckless student who stood up to Ned became a hot topic in school for a while.But that was soon replaced by another topic.Above all, they had other interesting things this time of year.Yes, summer vacation was just around the corner.
