Houseki No Kuni Recap
In chapter 104, Kongo’s brother explains the reason why they miscalculated the meteorite’s route with the intention of letting it hit the Earth. His mom was being bullied by her boss at work despite being hardworking and smart, and her boss stole all her hard work credit.
With a will to protect his mother, he got more of a perfect reason to wreck his mom’s boss with the meteorite.
He further explains the corruption of humans, how terrorists took advantage of the chaos and stole and used nukes, and how people were dissatisfied with unequal aid followed by drought, causing worldwide crop failure and famine, and that concludes the story of humans.
After the discussion of how the human race came to an end, Phos suggested taking a break before diving into more stories. Pebble commented how humans don’t last long, and they break things, then make things, then break again. And came to the conclusion that humans are scary.
Pebble asked what humans thought happiness was, to which Phos replied, ”Humans weren’t familiar with such things.”. Then Pebble expresses his thoughts, that happiness lies in the well-being of every individual, regardless of whether they are good or bad.
”Even the bad humans?” Phos asked.
Pebble replied ”Good humans had it rough, and I feel bad for the bad ones. That is how I felt during that story.” at this state, Phos was surprised and came to a realization that the stones haven’t been negatively influenced by humanity. And complimented Pebble on how intelligent he is.
