[mineo doesn't talk about it unless asked so! he at least seems to acknowledge that his demeanor does change when he's on the case.

considerably so.]

Yeah? Are you another person who doesn't really have laws or a peaceful situation, Childe-san?

[at least it's something he's encountered by now... he doesn't sound too judgmental - just curious]

[toyska]

Oh, no, there are laws. [That he ignores? But they exist?] But they're mainly enforced by the knights or soldiers of a nation. [He smiles wryly, glancing around them.] Though I'm guessing people aren't forced into rooms to solve murders for nine hours where you're from, either.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he looks thoughtful.]

... but I mean... it's not like all wealth was equal in those situations, right...?

[so like. crime happened. mineo is pretty sure that if he lived in that time, he'd be a knight!! .... he also thinks that it's hard for him to judge when he's literally from a modern era.

but.]

No, they're not. But if bad stuff happened, people would try to investigate and... [he frowns, like he doesn't want to use the word]

... Chase after some sense of 'justice', I guess. Recompense....?

[toyska]

[Childe, rich as hell, laughs.]

No, it certainly isn't.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

But an effort is generally made to solve a crime, yes. At least in most civilized places I've been. [unless you destroy the whole place with your own hands lmao]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he nods.]

Yeah. I guess it makes sense though - that normal civilians aren't used to solving stuff anyway.

[he shakes his head]

I know that Greed-san wanted to introduce the system, but it still feels pretty.... weird.

[toyska]

[Ah yes, Greed... they're on his list to speak with--perhaps he'll ask them more about it when he does.]

Given how isolated we are, I can see where the voting system came from... but I doubt that mess with Endorsi and Beauregard had anything to do with justice.

[sengokus]

It didn't.

[and he answers that rather immediately]

That was just cruel. Especially since Beauregard-san was innocent, and Endorsi wasn't involved either.

[toyska]

[Childe's still not sure how he feels about the whole "Beau was innocent" thing, honestly. He's heard a few different theories, but none of them have been satisfying. Not that he particularly cares about Beau's death, but it's frustrating, not having his vast network of informants and information at his fingertips.

He sighs, pushing his bangs out of his face.]

I suppose we should prepare for something similar this time.
