Chapter XXXVIII

"I just explained at the time, and I didn't know what my own strength was. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I think I've become stronger, but I didn't get there first, you all gained demon power. Sulfona soothed Doris and said, "A lot of things happened to me after that, and then I was like a breakthrough, and there was a strange change. I don't know why this happened, but I've gotten stronger. Doris...... Trust me one more time...... For the sake of the face of the goddess of two words, I will succeed this time!"

"You...... What does that mean?" asked Doris, weepingly, "what are you going to do? Are you telling me that it is possible for me to break away from Lord Jaslin? And then you're going to give me hope again? Do you know what cruel things you're doing? It's like you're describing to a blind man how beautiful the landscape is. If you could really defeat Jaslin, then you should have defeated her sooner! If you could, I wouldn't have suffered so much! Yes, to you I'm a wild cat on the side of the road, and you can just do it to save me. If it succeeds, it succeeds. If it doesn't work out, forget it. But do you know how much of an impact you can have on me who is fragile?

"I'm sorry...... Doris. Sulfona was silent for a moment and replied, "I know that my mistakes have hurt you a lot. But please believe me, I really want to help you, I really think about you, I am for your good!"

Hearing this, Doris cast a resentful glance at Sulfur from her teary eyes.

"Yes, for my good, just like my parents?"

"What......?"

"I remember I told you. Doris sneered and said, "I'm not an orphan, I have parents, they put me in my adoptive parents' house, and then send me money regularly." For my own good, they didn't take me with them, and I didn't even see them in person. For my own good, I was put in the house of ordinary people, and then I was called like a cow and a horse every day. How much discrimination a child like me with a strangely colored purple hair is subjected to there—you don't understand, Lady Sulfona. ”

“……”

"So, it's probably all my fault. Because my parents are good for me, aren't they? They always send me money, that's a lot of money. I didn't use it, I guess my ability is too weak. Then I was sold to the organization by that scumbag couple, and it must have nothing to do with my parents. Because they've thought about me a lot. Doris sneered at Sulfur and said, "Sulfona-sama, you are like this, you are also considerate, for my sake." I wanted to be free, I wanted me to do what I wanted to do, and I worked hard. In the end, I was punished, I was abused, and all of this must have nothing to do with you. Because didn't you go to duel Jaslin for me, but it didn't work out—but wasn't it for my own good? In the end, I ended up miserable, it must have been because of my own reasons, and it has nothing to do with you. Because, aren't you doing it for my good?"

Sulfona was speechless.

"Why do I live in misery every day, why do I feel worse than I used to be, and what difference is there between you and my parents, whom I have never met?" Doris's face contorted, "After all, what is good for me is a lie." You just want to perpetuate the hypocrisy in your heart, and as for the outcome, it's not in your mind at all. Because that's not something you have to take care of. ”

"I'm sorry...... Doris...... I ......"

"No, Mistress Sulfona, there's no place to be sorry for me. Doris shrugged self-deprecatingly, "I'm just taking advantage of you." Take advantage of your hypocrisy. I am attached to you with a 1 percent chance that you will free me from Lord Jaslin. But you didn't succeed. I can only blame me for being blind and choosing the wrong person. If I had chosen Master Tifa, I might ...... now But that's not realistic.,Now everyone knows that Lord Tifa is likely to be the next generation of No.1.,How can such an object be like me?I can only blame myself for being too weak, everything is that I'm too weak, why am I so weak......"

Doris began to mutter to herself as she spoke. She had a nervous smile on her face, saliva spilling from the corners of her mouth little by little, and her otherwise wonderful cheeks were like dead snakes. Usually Doris has always been quiet and quiet, but today's performance of this big act deeply shocked Sulfona.

Wasn't it right for Sulfona to be suspicious of her own thoughts, and to influence Doris's life in this way? No, even if Doris is really developing in the direction of Sulfona's ideals, is that really right? Shouldn't life be decided by the person concerned? What right does an outsider like Sulfa have to point fingers. She pointed out like this, and it was Doris herself who finally tasted the bitter fruit.

Just as Sulfona was in a daze, she suddenly felt that another person had touched the scope of her blindness. Sulfona looked up at the other party sharply, and it was Jaslin. Tifa saw Justlin approaching, and his body immediately began to tremble. It was as if the horror engraved on his muscles and bones had been awakened, and Tifa's mind was filled with pain that he didn't want to recall.

"The wild dogs that are picked up outside are always unfamiliar. Jaslin clasped his hands on his shoulders and said, "Doris, what are you doing here?"

"I ...... I ......," Doris's pretty face turned pale, "I just wanted to, I wanted to get rid of Sulina." Believe me, Lord Jaslin, I don't have anything to think about now. I ......"

"Yes, I believe you. ”

Jaslin nodded faintly, and Doris's eyes widened. She didn't expect Jaslin to be so talkative, which made her rack her brains and think of reasons to convince Jaslin that she looked like a fool. Jaslin smiled with satisfaction when he saw Doris, who was stunned. She held out her finger and pointed at Sulfona disdainfully.

"It's such a shitty thing, and I don't see any need for you to keep in touch with her. Am I right...... Doris?"

Being pointed at by Jaslin with her fingertips and impolitely, Sulfona also felt a little angry.

"I'm not a trash......! Anyway, Doris and I are friends. Friendships between friends are not so easy for people like you to understand. A change in status doesn't change the friendship either!"

"Is that so?" Jaslin smiled eerily, "I've never heard of this before." What kind of disparity of status friends—wait, are you really friends with Doris? Did Doris admit it herself? I think she's just taking advantage of you. As the two most outstanding trainees in this year's trainees, Sulfura and Tifa. I guess anyone wants to get close. As long as you borrow their strength, you can easily ascend to heaven. Do you mistake this flattery for friendship?"

"You ......"

Sulfona turned her gaze to Doris, hoping she could say something to refute it. But Doris just bowed her head and said nothing. When Sulfura saw Doris's attitude, the anger in her heart was extinguished. It's like when two young people who love each other meet their parents and talk about future fertility and house issues, the love they once believed in seems so fragile. Sulfona smiled self-deprecatingly, she wasn't incomprehensible to Doris. If she were to face Jaslin at this time, her future situation might be even more worrisome. But Jaslin's next sentence suddenly made Sulfur stunned.

"Sulfona Genius...... You're dressed like this- you can't be fresh out of prison. ”

“…… How is it?"

Sulfona shook off her prison uniform. She had just come out of prison, and her clothes were dirty. But she wasn't ashamed. Because Sulfona was falsely accused of being imprisoned, she was obviously beaten but became the first to beat someone. Later, he was charged with entering and leaving the forbidden place of the organization at will and stealing the organization's secrets. It's simply a reversal of black and white.

"Do you know who sued you?"

“…… Is that you?"

Sulfona asked, a little confused. Jaslin smiled meaningfully, then turned his gaze to the side. Sulfona felt like a rusty cog, creaking in her head. She was reluctant to turn her face in that direction, but her body was completely out of control. Sulfur looked at Doris, who bowed her head deeply, her long blonde hair hanging like a wilt. Doris was silent for a moment, then burst out.

"I can't help it! Suddenly a few people rushed out that day, grabbed my head and knocked me to the ground, and then kicked me in the stomach. I cried, and I told them to stop fighting, but they were still beating me. There was a man who was very tall and had short hair and looked almost like a man. She hit me the hardest, and every hit hit me in the face. She scolded and scolded me, saying that I deserved it, who let me get so close to Lord Sulfona. It took me a long time to understand that they had always held a grudge against Sulna-sama. But because Sulfona-sama is too strong, she has never dared to make any moves. That afternoon, Mistress Sulfur was defeated by Mistress Jaslin, and they knew where they got the news and were going to deal with Mistress Suona. ”

The short-haired one was very angry, and she said that if she wanted to move Sulfona, she had to start with Sulfona's younger brother. I thought, isn't it me who is the little brother of Sulfona, I think this is going to be the end. But then Master Jaslin suddenly came, and she said that I was a pawn she had placed next to Mistress Sulfona, and that I was a spy. I pretended to be friends with Sulna-sama, but in fact I wanted to grasp Sulna-sama's weaknesses. I had no choice but to follow Master Jaslin's words. Then the fierce people asked me what was the weakness of Sulfona. I didn't know anything, so I had to say a few casual words......"

"Casually...... How many words did you say?"

Sulfona only felt that the world was spinning. I suffered so much in prison because Doris said a few words casually.

"I'm! I can't help it! They asked me what I usually do. I'll just say that Romana-sama sometimes fights against Tifa-sama. They said that Sulna-sama was lawless and had a big fight with the trainees. I said that Sultana would go for a walk in the mountains, and then they said that Sultana was randomly trespassing on the forbidden land and stealing the secrets of the organization. They finished the charges and asked me to be a witness. If I don't go, they're going to keep beating me......"

"I see, I see, I ...... so"

Sulfona understood it all at once. It's no wonder that Doris never came to visit Sulfur after she was imprisoned. It's not that she doesn't want to, it's not that she can't do it, it's not that she's restricted from her freedom by Jaslin. Doris didn't have the face to see Horis at all, and Doris had a share of Doris's suffering.

"So, do you understand, a genius for Sulfona?" said Jaslin, looking at Sulfona with a smile, "Your self-perceived freedom, your self-perceived friendship, are all so hypocritical. And yourself, you carefully whisper what you are now...... It's just a joke. ”

"Why is this happening?" said Sulfona, barely standing on her knees, as if she had been knocked down by something, "am I wrong? Is Doris wrong? No, this mistake shouldn't be on Doris. It should be me...... But what went wrong? Why did the friendship that was so beautiful before, suddenly change its taste? Why ......?"

"It's just because you're too weak. "It's not that your strength is weak, it's that your mind is too weak." I don't know where your power comes from, maybe it's innate, but you don't have the mentality to harness your power at all. You are just passively enjoying the benefits that this power brings you. That gesture is so ugly that your very existence is like a denial of the sweat of those of us who have worked hard. ”

"Yes...... Is that so?" said Sulfona nodded in dismay, "I see why you hate me so much." I heard that your friend died trying to surpass me. I don't really know...... I didn't know that my existence had produced such a great oppression in your hearts. If I've done something wrong all these years, then I should pay my debt for it too. Maybe it's karma that I became so ugly and so failed. ”

"No kidding. Jaslin frowned, revealing a look of disgust, "If it was the previous Sulfona, I might still be." But you- you don't deserve it. Speaking of which, I think there's someone who hates you more than I do. Isn't that right, Doris?"

Both Sulfona and Jaslin's eyes fell on Doris, who quickly shrunk her face behind her long blond hair and delicate shoulders.

“…… Doris...... Do you hate me too? Indeed, I have made you suffer so much......"

"Looks like you don't know?" said Jaslin, with some surprise, "since you know that my countryman thought she had died beyond you, don't you know that she was also Doris's roommate? The two of them have a good relationship, and you know the rest of the story...... It's also for the sake of this relationship that I let Doris be by my side. ”

Sulfona looked at Doris in a daze. She did remember that Doris had told her the girl's story, and that she had just spent a lot of time cleaning up the blood she had vomited. Such an understatement brings things over. Sulfona didn't know, and she didn't realize, from Doris's flat expression, that she had ever been so close to the dead girl. If so, then what kind of mentality did Doris approach to Sulfura at that time?

Sulfona felt that what she had held on to in the past had crumbled almost all at once. Maybe she didn't know Doris at all, Doris cried and vented in front of her before, or smiled, those were just acting. Doris can't survive in a cruel world without relying on her acting skills, and her acting skills have reached the point of perfection. Sulfona remembered that in the heavy rain of her defeat, Jaslin had smiled contemptuously at herself.

- "Are you underestimating Doris, who must have been quite clever when she survived so far." ”

It was only now that Sulfona really grasped the meaning of this sentence.

Jaslin took in Sulfona's expression, and she felt that it was time for the fire, so she turned her face to Doris and smiled inexplicably.

"I mean, you probably hate this ugly bastard, too. Obviously, everyone is the same person, why can she easily complete the goal of training, why does she have to fight half to the death, but in the end she is often scolded. You must be very unwilling......"

"No...... No, I didn't have that thought of Mistress Sulfona, I ......" Doris hugged her head, shaking it as if to shake it off from Jaslin's words. But Jaslin still didn't stop talking.

"But you see a genius like Sulfona, with a nonchalant expression, talking about her own rights, her rights, and her equality. You must be angry in your heart. What, it's like a flower in a greenhouse, and I don't understand human suffering at all. 'If you don't have bread to eat, why not eat cake?' - I think a genius like her would have asked such a question. ”

“……”

"So, freedom, equality. Isn't that something that a person should struggle for with a voice? Isn't that something that can be barely exchanged for all his sweat and hard work? What, help me maybe be free? It means that you only need to move a finger to withstand my life's efforts? As long as you swing your sword casually, will you suffer so much in vain?"

Doris was silent. Sulfona couldn't see the eyes hidden beneath her golden bangs, but she knew that Doris was looking at her with resentment. Doris's mind was clear to Jaslin, and Sulfona didn't know what she was wrong until now. I kept saying that I wanted to give Doris freedom, but I didn't know that this sentence was probably the greatest contempt for Doris's life and personality from childhood to adulthood. What's even more terrifying is that even if Doris feels scorned, she can't speak out. Because Sulfona wants to help her, Sulfona is for her sake, and Sulfona is her benefactor. Therefore, all the grievances suffered by Doris can only be swallowed in the stomach.

Is there anything more painful in this world than being wronged but not being able to say it?

"So, you now have a chance for revenge. Jaslin grabbed Doris by the shoulder and turned her towards Sulfona, "You can swing your sword at that ugly monster now." Chop off her flirtatious ears, shave off her disgusting nose, and make her face a little smoother. I said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am in a very good mood today, which is why I have granted you such a gift. ”

"No...... It's really impossible...... I can't, Mistress Sulfona is very good to me...... She wants to set me free, to let me do what I love......"

"Then ......," Jaslin said with a smile, "if you can kill Sulfona, then I'll set you free?" Whatever you want to do, no one will interfere with you. What do you think?"
