Chapter 789 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" opens revealing the plot: Chapter 789: 148. Hunt the Giant Dragon (6k)“…You, um, Liel, Little Annie, Gathredo, maybe Father... Discover what happens!

Chapter 789: 148. Hunt the Giant Dragon (6k)“…You, um, Liel, Little Annie, Gathredo, maybe Father Laiman counts too? And Aunt Grey across from the school who often gives out snacks to the children for free, and…”

Little Fisher counted on his fingers and finally named a few people who could be considered “good.” Although not a long list, because of his limited knowledge, he managed to mention only about ten people. Sister Theresa, however, started to smile, seemingly a bit surprised,

“There are that many? I thought in your eyes I was the only good person… So, if in our Church School of just over a hundred people there is a tenth that can be considered good, then how many good people are there among all humans? And are you sure the people you’ve mentioned are truly good? Aunt Grey, when she was young, ran away to Saint Nali after swindling all her ex-husband’s money. Can she be called a good person?”

“What if I said it was because her ex-husband wanted to sell their daughter, and that’s why she did it? What if I added that, upon arriving in Saint Nali, she forced her daughter to marry a much older rich man? Do you still think she’s a good person?”

Sister Theresa lowered her head, raised a finger with a smile to Fisher,

“This question seems too difficult to ponder, and an answer can’t be reached in an instant. How about we quantify the question? This is number one. If this ‘one’ represents absolute kindness and wisdom, and ‘zero’ represents absolute wickedness and ignorance, what do you think we need to do to attain this ‘one’?”

Fisher, held in her arms, fell silent in thought, while Sister Theresa, who had raised a finger, also withdrew her hand and joined him in reflection. As time ticked by, her expression grew more troubled,

“Ah, what kind of person would represent this ‘one,’ Little Fisher? You are very smart, do you think you could become this ‘one’? And if not you, then who do you think could?”

“Unfortunately, every person views the world differently, and everyone has their own standard for what this ‘one’ should be. We can never construct such a perfect being in reality; or to say, if such a perfect being truly exists in this world, it certainly wouldn’t be a human, because even Gods make grave mistakes, let alone us, far from deities…”

Little Fisher, still in Sister Theresa’s embrace, buried his face in her bosom with a bit of a headache and what came out was a muffled voice,

“Hmm, it sounds like making everyone smart is too difficult, I’m tired, let it all be destroyed… but it’s fine as long as you, Sister Theresa, aren’t destroyed.”

Sister Theresa lifted Fisher’s face buried in her bosom and looked at him,

“Do you remember the story of the human slaying the giant dragon that I told you when you were little?”

“The Mother Goddess made humans endure pain and hardship in the Mortal World. One day, a giant dragon came before them, saw how they suffered and restricted themselves, and tempted them to give up their human identity and receive his Dragon Blood, gaining absolute reason and strength, eliminating their ignorance and weakness.”

“That’s when a Great Sage stepped forward and said to the dragon, ‘Although you are correct, giant dragon, if we do that, can we still call ourselves human? Can we still call ourselves children of the Mother Goddess?’ Rejected, the giant dragon, in a fit of rage, wanted to destroy all humans but was not expecting the Mother Goddess to throw down a giant spear from the sky and kill him.”

Fisher pouted and looked at Sister Theresa, saying without words,

“That must be a made-up story, right?”

“Hmm, I know. But the moral is quite clear, isn’t it, Little Fisher…”

Sister Theresa’s blonde hair fell gently along her nun’s habit as she slowly extended her fist to Fisher, smiling,

“For humans, there is no such thing as an ultimate Truth that solves everything, nor is there a perfection that can be reached in a single step. To be imperfect is to be human, and the wise are tasked with leading those imperfect beings ever closer to that perfect ‘one’…”

“With your extraordinary talents, you’ll surely lead everyone, Little Fisher. The ignorant will call you ‘rebel,’ those of different paths will call you ‘mortal enemy,’ and the way forward will seem unclear as if shrouded by the ‘giant dragon’s’ beguiling words…”

Her fist before Fisher remained motionless, ripples of the dream spreading out slowly, seeming to leave a profound Trace in young Fisher’s heart as she spoke,

“Even if the Mother Goddess may not exist, your steadfast human resolve lies within your heart, and that is the real spear for slaying the tempting giant dragon, the unique weapon of our weakness… So, your actions today in the face of evil were right, how could I punish you?”

“Alright, alright, let’s sneak back before Father Laiman catches us… What would you like to eat this evening? I’ll make it for you. By the way, Father Laiman recently bought some magic books specifically for you; they are written by none other than Mr. Helsen, the Great Mage himself. You’ll need to properly thank Father Laiman later…”
