Chapter 44: Masaki VS Mo Yu, the battle of ideas in the ward
"The misalignment of the bones in the hand is worse than last time, and the doctor said that I must stay here for a month, so I have to take a leave of absence again."
"Mo, I didn't say you."
On the other end of the phone, the expression of the editor-in-chief Saito was ugly, and Mo Yu's repeated injuries and escapes have caused a considerable degree of dissatisfaction among the staff of the newspaper.
"It's not fair why he can take time off all day and we insist that we have to go to work."
Related complaints can be heard everywhere, and some people even made up "The reason why Mo Yu is so favored is actually the illegitimate son of Editor-in-Chief Saito" This outrageous message makes the people around look at Saito's eyes strangely.
"In the newspaper, you have the most accidents. It's hard for me to keep going like this. ”
No matter how much Mo Yu is favored by him, he also has a bottom line, nearly a quarter of a month's working hours are asking for leave, even if there are thousands of reasons, he shouldn't be.
What else can Mo Yu say, does it clearly mean that he was repeatedly injured in order to protect humans and fight monsters? In the end, I can only lower my posture, honestly admit my mistakes, and promise never to do it again next time.
"The editor-in-chief is angry?"
Minako only looked at the bitter look on Mo Yu's face, and knew that the final result of the negotiation would definitely not be satisfactory, and while asking, she said that the mobile phone was put back on the bedside table next to the bed.
"It's not so angry that it's just that the bonus is gone this month."
"No, it's not like you did it on purpose, the editor-in-chief is too much."
Minako took the phone into her arms, and it was not worth it to be punished for Mo Yu.
"Don't be the editor-in-chief, he's not bad to me, if you want to change to someone else, it's not just a trivial matter like a penalty."
There are a lot of things, but they can't be measured by money, Mo Yu only feels that he is too badly mixed, both superheroes, Spider-Man and Superman when they are reporters, how did they deal with these problems they encountered? I didn't talk about it in the comics, and I didn't shoot it in the animation, so I didn't think about it for reference.
"Woo~"
Just moved his body slightly, and the soreness caused by the stiffness of the muscles in his waist was transmitted to the brain through each muscle fiber, "Minako, you help me." ”
"What are you doing when you get up? The doctor said you should rest more and lie down quickly. ”
"I'm going to be a zombie if I lie down again. You can help me raise the bed a little higher. ”
Raise the bed, and then put two pillows on the back, and Mo Yu propped it up into an L-shape.
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't dragged you to my brother, you wouldn't have been injured."
It's just a small action, Mo Yu is so difficult to execute, it can be seen that his injury is serious, compared to the past when he still walks like flying with dozens of pounds of photographic equipment, Minako only feels indescribably sad in her heart.
Seeing that Minako was like this again, Mo Yu hurriedly told her to stop.
"Don't talk about this, everything I do, I do willingly. As an older brother, isn't it natural to help my lovely sister? ”
Mo Yu still has something to say, [Even without you, these guys have a great chance of pestering me. 】
If you go out for a date or drive to refuel, you may encounter emergencies, which is the unavoidable fate of Ultraman in the past generations.
[My lovely banknotes! 】
What really bothered him was the old problem, money had only been in a few days, and he had fallen into an economic crisis again. Because this injury was completely due to Mo Yu's personal reasons, the newspaper would not be responsible for the reimbursement of medical expenses, and Mo Yu's wallet dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immersed in his fantasy world, he didn't notice that Minako's smile dimmed when she heard the word "brother".
[Do you still have two mouths at home that can only eat? ] It's not a good idea to borrow money from Minako all the time, you have to let them learn to be self-reliant. 】
His gaze fell through the window on the big tree outside the ward, and Mo Yu's face was full of exhaustion.
Minako peeled an apple and handed it to Mo Yu's mouth, Mo Yu took a bite, it didn't feel right, why did she bite the core in one bite?
When I looked closely, I was embarrassed———— this apple was too "slim", more than a third of the flesh and peel were peeled off, and if any preserved fruit shop hired Minako to work, it would definitely go out of business
[Your technique of peeling fruit is really artistic.] 】
was about to complain, but seeing Minako's expression, Mo Yu still swallowed the words, and took a closer look, Minako's left hand still had several small wounds caused by sharp weapons, thinking that it was accidentally injured by poor technology. Mo Yu was faintly moved in his heart, my sister has done this, and it is not in vain that we are born and die, since this is the case, my brother will not complain about you.
"Yu, what are you thinking?
Mo Yu stared at her left hand, Minako guessed what she was thinking, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"I'm just thinking, I don't know when I'll pay you back."
The girl doesn't want to mention this topic, so let's not mention it.
[Yu, you... 】
Looking at Mo Yu's ordinary face, Minako's heart rippled. The two have known each other for more than 1 month, and during this time, Mo Yu has really done a lot for himself———— trying his best to teach himself the tricks of work, carefully guiding himself to write his first report, listening to his own heart when chatting, and taking himself to the playground to play in order to let himself relax. Even now, when he was injured twice due to his willfulness and had to lie in the hospital, Mo Yu not only did not complain, but was still thinking about himself with all his heart...
[Isn't it too much to do so much for a girl who just knows? ] If you were to change to yourself, would you be able to do it? 】
Minako asked herself,
[No, it can't be done. 】
Zixia Fairy once described her sweetheart like this, "One day he will appear in a high-profile situation, wearing golden armor and holy clothes, stepping on seven-colored clouds to marry me", it can be seen that every boy has a heroic dream in his heart, and every girl also has a prince charming in his heart, even if he knows that it is an impossible dream.
Minako is unlucky, with an older brother like Keigo Masaki, appearing in front of her, most of the so-called "young and wealthy successful people" do not have the capital of pride.
Minako is lucky, there is no pressure in life, and she can't tolerate all kinds of ugliness made by the "elites" for a better life, and she can chase the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature more freely.
And during this period of life, Mo Yu used his serious attitude towards life to quietly leave his mark in a corner of Minako's heart.
"You don't have to pay it back."
Mo Yu turned his cheeks in confusion.
"I~···"
Minako has a low face and a deep voice like a mosquito.
"I..."
The temperature in the ward, with the blessing of a strange atmosphere, slowly rose.
···
···
···
"It's time for ward rounds!"
The voice of the nurse on duty, Minako's "confession" was interrupted, and the courage that she had finally mustered was leaked.
Mo Yu looked at Minako, who was flushed, and ran out of the ward, without even leaving a word.
And the tall, cold-faced young man who followed the nurse deeply imprinted this scene into his mind.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as Mo Yu saw the man's face, his mood became extremely unhappy.
"Of course, it's to see how you're doing, how is this ward?"
This sentence is quite unlevel, who wants to live in a ward if there is no illness or disaster.
Mo Yu originally doubted that with his luck of level E, how could he be admitted to these luxurious single rooms "specially prepared for leaders", but now it seems that it must be Zhengmu's ghost.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, Mo Yu was secretly vigilant in his heart.
Waving to the nurse to leave, closing the door and locking it, Keigo Masaki put his hands in his trouser pockets and didn't say a word.
"I mean, what are you doing there like a?"
From head to toe, from foot to head, Masaki's gaze swept over Mo Yu, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth———— this scene only made Mo Yu feel extremely painful.
"It's so hard for you!"
Keigo Masaki said slowly.
"Even though you've become Ultraman, it's your own physical strength that is consumed, so why bother?"
Only then did Mo Yu understand the true meaning of Zhengmu who had just locked the door.
"Look at the way you look now, my suspicions have been confirmed———— sure enough, the wounds of the battle will be reflected in the human body."
Wait, what is this feeling of danger?] 】
It seems that he has heard this sentence somewhere, but Mo Yu just can't remember it.
"This errand is so tiring, why do you have to become him?"
[By the way, I remembered.] Back then, when he grabbed the Great Ancient God Light Stick, he didn't say a lot of words. 】
Although Keigo Masaki has only appeared in Tiga for a few short episodes, he has left a deep impression on people, and Mo Yu when he was a teenager admired him even more than Dagu who is the protagonist Tiga.
"If I say, it's because of love and justice, do you believe it?"
"Love and justice?"
Masaki sneered, "You thought I was an elementary school student? You're simply reveling in the praise of saving others. ”
"You're going to give me a compliment?"
Mo Yu shook his injured arm in protest, [Although you used to be my brother's idol, you don't have such sarcasm. 】
"Don't forget, the reason why I'm lying here today is because of you, if it weren't for Minako's request, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you. Did I take you a dime? ”
"That's why I say you're not enlightened enough."
Masaki shook his head, "After all, you're just a lucky one who was hit by a pie falling from the sky." ”
"Neither you, nor Tiga, have done so far to eliminate one or two mad dogs. If this continues, there is no way to save this world from shattering. ”
"Don't speak in such a compassionate tone, as if only you can save the world."
first doubted the motives of his brother's actions, and then denied the success of his brother's work, in the face of Masaki's merciless words, Mo Yu was unhappy, and also responded with mean mockery.
"That's right, only I can save the world."
Masaki's face did not change in the slightest, "In the dark future, someone must guide the light of hope in the hearts of mankind, and I, the chosen one, is called AGITO. ”
"I am the only savior of this world!!" This is what kind of remarks will be made in the second secondary school, but the person who said this sentence said it so naturally.
"I advise you to be realistic."
Well, although I know that Zhengmu's personality is very 2, but I witnessed it lightly, and I realized that this guy is no longer something that 2 can describe. It's a waste of effort to lose your temper with the middle two, it's better to be calm, otherwise it won't be good for anyone if the conversation collapses, "Such a big person, and still having such unrealistic dreams." Take a good look at me, I'm half-crippled after only a few battles, so let's be realistic. ”
"You're just doing it yourself."
Zhengmu glanced at Mo Yu's injury, shook his head and said, "If it were me, this kind of thing would never happen." ”
"Self-inflicted?"
I have been fighting hard so far, and I have actually received such an evaluation.
[Brother can't bear it anymore! ] 】
Mo Yu faintly hoped to be recognized by Masaki, but Masaki's merciless ridicule completely shattered his image in Mo Yu's heart for several years.
[Keigo Masaki, sure enough, is no different from the arrogant madman in the original book. 】
For a while, Mo Yu really felt that he was stupid, and he actually hoped to be recognized by this kind of person.
"Enough!"
The ridiculous self, the hateful Masaki, the anger hidden in Mo Yu's heart finally detonated.
"It's that tone again! Keigo Masaki, who do you think you are? I've put up with you for a long time. ”
"What right do you have to despise the people around you? Just because you are a genius, born a little smarter than others, can you put yourself in the position of Creator? SAVIOR, AGITO, HEHE, NO KIDDING, YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A DRAGON AT BEST. ”
"You were cultivating in a safe place when I was fighting hard, and when I was injured in battle, you came back and made a big fuss, can it really make you so happy to show your superiority in front of me?"
As the anger surged, Mo Yu's words became more and more intense, and he only felt that he was very wronged. Dagu doesn't accept himself as his comrade-in-arms, Zhengmu, you come to the well again, what are you people thinking in your mind.
"Do you only have such vulgar thoughts in your head?"
Mo Yu's sudden outburst, in Masaki's expectation, was what he wanted.
"Vulgar and foolish, your tone really makes me feel disgusting! Please have the right attitude, Long Aotian. I really don't understand where your inexplicable sense of superiority comes from, just because you're a genius? ”
Relying on himself to be stronger than others, he bullies people, insults people, and pleases himself by torturing others———— Mo Yu feels that this situation is disgusting in his heart, and when this person becomes Masaki Keigo, Mo Yu will only get angrier.
"Genius?"
Keigo Masaki didn't laugh angrily, "Everyone calls me a genius, even you. I ask you, what is genius? ”
"Shouldn't you have a deep understanding of the fact that people with higher intelligence, stronger bodies, and stronger learning ability than ordinary people? Yes, maybe in your eyes, I do everything badly, but please note that I am just an ordinary person, not a genius like you! Destroying the monsters that endanger humanity in front of me is already my limit. ”
"I obviously want to grasp my dream, but I have to give up because of my own lack of ability, the pain that only belongs to mortals, how can you geniuses who have been high since birth understand?"
This is the true feeling of Mo Yu's heart, once upon a time, Mo Yu also longed to become a genius like Masaki Keigo, never forget, learn sports omnipotence, love is proud, destined to be a winner in life. But after spending 18 years of ordinary life, he finally understood that he was destined to be poor and short in his life, and he couldn't be rich and handsome.
"The so-called genius is just a little better genetically, not a species-level gap."
"Geniuses are also people, and geniuses can't be eaten. Everything I have now is something I've earned through hard work, and it has nothing to do with genius. ”
"Obviously, as long as everyone works harder, they can achieve their goals, but the inertia of human beings makes them unwilling to do this at all."
"It's so hard to work hard!"
"I'm not the protagonist of a hot-blooded novel?"
"Even if you have a dream, what can you do? I just want three meals a day. ”
Although he was very unconvinced, what Masaki said made sense, Mo Yu couldn't refute it, and even now, he often had similar thoughts.
"Unwilling to think, unwilling to do, this is the main reason for their failure, and they shamelessly make up all kinds of reasons to excuse themselves. Between acknowledging one's own inferiority and praising others as geniuses, most people choose the latter, escaping from the truth. ”
"Do you have a dream?"
Masaki asked and answered himself.
"Possibly."
"Do you have the consciousness to go to the soup and fire for it, even if it costs your life?"
"You don't."
"Honestly, I really envy you. In order to gain the strength to become a savior, I have been preparing for a whole decade, exercising until my muscles are tired and I don't want to rest, I don't want to stop until my blood pressure rises, how much suffering I have suffered, how many sins I have suffered, can you understand? But what did you give? You don't give anything. You say I don't understand you, but do you understand me? ”
Before Zhengmu came, he had done his homework, and his sharp words were attacking, and every blow hit Mo Yu's weakness. A series of cannon-like questions, Mo Yu was dumbfounded and couldn't refute it.
"With your power, you're still running away from the fight."
"Why do you have a powerful move like the Meita Realm, but you don't want to use it, and would rather fight in the city and smash the surroundings to pieces?"
"Why is it that after being caught by the Lakebees, you still have the strength to destroy all the cosmic people alone, but you are unwilling to transform into a battle at first?"
"You're scared, you're scared, you're scared of death."
Masaki's words just stinged Mo Yu's G-spot, which is the truth that he has been deliberately ignoring but cannot escape. Relying only on the passion of battle, temporarily forgetting the fear of death is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.
"Isn't it wrong to be afraid of death, people are afraid, right?"
"I've worked so hard to save the people in distress, why do you still force me?" ”
When he said this, Mo Yu almost shouted, thanks to the excellent soundproofing of this ward, otherwise it could be heard in the corridor———— it seems that Zhengmu has been planning for a long time.
"It seems that you still put yourself in the position of ordinary people."
The psychological offensive has worked for the most part, Mo Yu has temporarily fallen into a state of madness, Zhengmu is overjoyed, and he calms down, preparing for the final fatal blow. "Don't run away from the facts, you are no longer an ordinary person, if you still want to continue, remember, what is needed is not hard work, but hard work!"
"The last few battles in your urban area have caused billions of losses, and the number of direct and indirect deaths has exceeded a thousand, which is the result of your unwillingness to hold up the Meta Domain, in a sense, those people were killed by you!"
Yes, although Mo Yu didn't want to hurt anyone, but in the process of fighting with the monster, the earthquake, high temperature, shock wave, and explosion generated were devastating to the surrounding onlookers.
[I, killed thousands of people... 】
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it shook Mo Yu's mind.
Suddenly, he was burdened with thousands of lives, and anyone would feel unbearable, not to mention, he grew so big, but he never even killed a chicken.
For Da Gu, this news was far less lethal than it was for Mo Yu. After all, Da Gu didn't have such a strange move as the Meita Realm, and minimizing the losses caused by the battle was already his limit, and Mo Yu obviously had the ability not to accidentally injure anyone, but he was afraid of increasing the burden on his body and gave up using it, and Mo Yu had an unshirkable responsibility for accidentally injuring people's lives.
When Mo Yu was in a trance, Masaki reached out and took something from his neck.
"That's what you rely on to transform into Miles, right?"
Because of the second injury to his arm, the miracle wrist chakra could no longer be worn on his hand, and Mo Yu had to hang an iron chain around his neck. It looks a little silly, but it's better than throwing it away and not finding it, and it was snatched away by Masaki.
"The ultra-ancient technology, which can convert the human body into light energy ions, is simply a miraculous product."
Zhengmu sincerely admired, he has been conducting research on related science and technology, suffering from lack of information, he originally planned to rob Dagu when he was going to rob Dagu, but he didn't expect to meet it here, it was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it.
"Give me back !!"
[This is the real purpose of this guy!] Brother is now seriously injured, Masaki, don't you take such a bully!! 】
Mo Yu was startled and struggled to pounce, but Masaki took a step back and avoided him.
The ink feather that fluttered in the air hit the coffee table on his shoulder, and he fell to the ground and hummed.
"Don't worry, I'm just keeping it for you temporarily. When you have a desperate consciousness, come to me again. ”
======================================================================================================
"Yu, what's wrong with you?"
When Minako returned to the ward and saw Mo Yu's terrible condition, she exclaimed again.
"Has anyone been here?"
Mo Yu's teeth were tightly closed, he didn't say a word, and when he was physically and mentally exhausted, his heart was full of doubts.
[Keigo Masaki, you guy, what the hell do you want to do!! 】
On the rooftop opposite the ward, witnessing Minako helping Mo Yu back to the bed from the window, Masaki's eyes showed a hint of tenderness.
[My poor and hateful sister, as an older brother, I can only help you so much. Hopefully, he can save your life. 】
Immediately, he closed his eyes, as if he knew that there was someone behind him, and said inexplicably, "It's been a long time." ”
"yes, long time no see."
A few feet behind him, a young man with glasses slowly responded.
"Did you notice him too?"
"You shouldn't use 'also.'"
The bespectacled young man corrected, "I noticed his time, much earlier than you." ”
"Whatever you want!"
Masaki doesn't quarrel over boring trivial things, "Why did you, who claim to be indifferent, appear here." Have you changed your mind and are ready to join my side? ”
"Excuse yourself from the boring jokes. What was the thought was, and what I still think now, is here just to remind you that you have gone too far. ”
"I saw my own shadow in someone with a similar personality, and I wanted to fight for him when I was touched? Your heart is in turmoil. ”
"You are you, that young man is himself, anyone has the right to choose their own life, don't try to force everyone into your camp."
"What's more, there is no future at all in such a world."
"Shut up!"
Zhengmu turned back angrily, there was nothing behind him, and the young man had already left this place.
"Cut, one or two are like this, I don't want to do anything when I have the strength, and I will never admit this kind of thing by watching the worst happen."
Staring at the miracle wrist chakra held in his hand, Masaki's eyes became more and more determined,
[That is the hope of mankind to reach the future, even if I am alone, even if I am slandered as a devil, I must save this world. 】
======================================================================================================
PS: Minako's love line has finally opened, (Mo Yu is teary-eyed, fighting life and death 19W words, finally giving the girl a good impression, it's not easy!) Those bastards who go out for a cup of tea, borrow an umbrella on a rainy day, and take in stray cats and dogs who can open crystals at will, will all die for me. However, the road of love is arduous, and there is still a long way to go before it can achieve positive results. Minako is not a vase, at least the first step is to contact the relationship between Masaki and Mo Yu, and take advantage of it, and there are a lot of her real scenes later. The image of Masaki in this article, through the dialogue in this chapter, is depicted, a radical savior. Masaki looks down on those decadent and cowardly ordinary people, including Mo Yu, hating them for not working hard enough, hating them for anesthetizing themselves in singing and peace. It is simply not possible to save the world with these people. Of course, it doesn't make sense for him to slander Mo Yu for not opening the Meita realm and causing casualties, but he wants to pull Mo Yu to his side, and deliberately says this to increase the shock. The description of Masaki here is basically the same as the character of the original book, but the angle of view is different. Finally, another important character has appeared, and the future plot will be great.
