Chapter Twenty-Five: The Valkyries
In a corner of the village, Zhibei is persuading the stubborn Xihua, there is no one around (even if it is not there), and there is no other sound, only Zhibei's efforts to persuade tactfully, and Xihua's strong denial. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Nope! I'm going to stay and fight! Yuka reluctantly vetoed.
"Why do you insist so much! I've already said it! We have no chance of winning, and if we stay, everyone will die, so we really ...... There is no hope of revenge! Zhibei's patience was gradually exhausted by the continuous rejection, and he had racked his brains to persuade here for two hours, but it had no effect on Xihua, the girl who insisted. Even continuous droplets of water can drip through the stones, but Yuka does not retreat a single step, and insists on her will without flawlessness.
"It's because I'm going to die that I'm staying! If there is hope for revenge, then the other women in the village and those children are enough! I don't need to hide together, if I watch you fight...... No, go to death, and I'm hiding like a wreck, and I will have no hope of living. ”
"But...... If everybody asks to stay like you do, how can I stop it? This is the key to the rise and fall of the village, please stop playing with children's tempers. Zhibei said with a frown.
"I'm not like them, among the women in this village, I am the only one who has the ability to fight, which is why I can be the captain of the guard, because I am stronger than the men, and in the next battle, I can play a big role, maybe even more than you Zhibei - because Zhibei you have never exercised at first glance! So, please let me stay. Xihua said very seriously, her pretty face was serious, and the paranoia revealed in it made people tremble in their hearts.
Hearing Xihua's words, Zhibei lowered his head, his face was shrouded in shadows, making it impossible to see his expression. After a short silence, Zhibei yelled violently: "I said it a long time ago! There was no hope from the start! Even if there is one more person, it will not change the ending!! After roaring, Zhibei suddenly sobered up, he couldn't imagine that he would speak so loudly, and even more unimaginable, he actually said such a thing!
Yes! I see, although I kept comforting myself before, saying that hope is always there! Say that the future will always be good! However, these are just thin words on the surface, and in his heart, in the depths of his subconscious, even he does not believe in himself.
However, this is indeed understandable, people are social animals, and it is difficult to change themselves, not to mention that Zhibei, an otaku who escaped from society, let him meet the impending death without experience with his not strong body, and he is not scared to run away even if he has a strong character.
After listening to Zhibei's words, Xihua kept bowing her head and saying nothing, so that Zhibei, who saw her like this, secretly regretted and blamed herself in her heart, regretting that she shouldn't have said those desperate words, isn't this equivalent to putting her own despair on someone else's head?
Zhibei was about to comfort her, but found that she suddenly raised her head, which surprised Zhibei even more. Xihua was crying bitterly, two lines of tears flowed down her fair cheeks, but they bypassed her lips, because, where, she was smiling, smiling strongly, seriously, beautifully, and that smile was like a lily in the wind, which made Zhibei stunned for a while.
It was the second smile that could be imprinted in his heart.
"You know what?" Xihua said in a slow, flat tone, "My father raised Xihua as a boy since I was a child, and the exercise at that time was very hard, and the pain and exhaustion made me cry and sleep, of course I didn't understand why my father was like this when I was a child, but I gradually understood that he wanted me to learn those important things, learn to guard, and learn to be strong...... Learn to be responsible, and learn the will not to bow your head even if you die. ”
Xihua's words were as indifferent as a calm lake, but the bitterness and bitterness contained in them made Zhibei can't help but expand his imagination, and he can't help but yearn for it. Right! It's yearning, such a childhood is impossible for Zhibei to have, his childhood has no happiness and no pain, but there is that seemingly eternal cold loneliness, decadence pulls him into the abyss like a demon, turning him into an empty shell, an escapee.
If, if I had such a father on the side...... Then I'll be a big change now! However, the past cannot come again, and childhood certainly cannot be repeated, it can only flicker in memories like a bubble.
"I'm a girl!" Yuka continued, "But I've learned from a young age what responsibility is - no one can escape the burden of happiness, so I'm used to carrying it on my shoulders, and then there will be pain, it will be scarred, it will be bleeding, and even death, but I will also fulfill my guardianship, which is my responsibility as a guardian. Only in this way can I be a person who stands up to the sky! ”
The one who stands up to the sky! Stand up to the sky! Zhibei's heart that was struggling upwards beat violently, and it was deeply touched, no longer floating on the surface, but in the depths where no one could know, a crazy hot current gushed out.
Know the north! Could it be that because of the nest at home, not only is the back bent, but the soul cannot be straightened? How proud you were when you first came to this world? What about the hope that springs up in my heart from time to time? Aren't they enough? What else do you need, wind, grass, flowers, forests, beautiful girls? A completely beautiful world can only be dreamed, if you can't face cruelty and fear, then you will always be an abandoned house that dies alone in fear!
So, burn your soul! You may indeed be facing death, but Moe (Note 1) will accompany you into the darkness, and even if it is a neon, she can smile and become a youkai without pain!
Zhibei suddenly understood, although the subtle changes have been accumulating, and he has also made a lot of bold statements, but from today, he can be regarded as truly breaking through all the falsehoods, and completing the transformation from the bottom of his heart to the body!
Maybe that's what he's always wanted to be!
Zhibei, who was silent because of his self-questioning of himself, raised his head, he smiled helplessly, and said, "It's a pity that I didn't convince you, but I was persuaded by you!" ”
Moreover, such a smile is simply a foul!!
It's like a Valkyrie!!
"Hee-hee! Wouldn't that be nice? We can die together! Yuka said with a smile.
"But you're alone! You have to stay secretly, but you can't let anyone know!! Zhibei admonished.
"Got it!" Yuka nodded and agreed.
―――――――――――
After that, two days passed, and Zhibei finally persuaded Ji Hong to go - the child grinded until the last person left, and turned back from time to time, with cute and surprisingly sad eyes, he kept throwing to Zhibei to kill and die (?). I hope he will change his mind.
The she-wolves and the young wolves of the hungry wolf clan were also hiding (the young wolves, of course, had long been hiding), but the remaining male wolves, who had suffered various injuries, stayed behind, and decided to fight the invading enemy together with the villagers.
"We don't want to owe you a favor! What's more, I hate the expressions of these wolf cubs, we can even defeat hunger, but because of the thousands of human armies lost their fighting spirit, this is really ugly, our race, maybe because of the long peace and loss of fighting skills, but we have sharp teeth and claws, we can't just give up! Because, there are only wolves who die in battle, and there are no ghosts who starve to death!!!! This is what the wolf king said to Zhibei at that time.
Such determination is really chic and handsome......
Standing on the mound that was built high, Zhibei looked at a piece of green, and with the forest that stretched out of the mountain, the wind was blowing, and a piece of dark green was also rippling.
War is coming......
"Moe!" Zhibei suddenly called Moe's name, and he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... "I'm sorry to let you accompany me to die."
The elf floating beside Zhibei seemed to show a smile, "What stupid thing are you talking about?" Fool Zhibei, to be reborn in another world is the opportunity I got before many elves, and this is my luck. Even more fortunate to be able to meet a host like you. Although you are often stupid, and you are still very secondary! This time your decision was also very reckless, even irrational and stupid, but your decision was the right one, and you are a kind, stand-up and extremely good trainer. ”
This kind of praise moved Zhibei, and he automatically skipped the poisonous tongue at the front end, but he didn't expect him to get such a high evaluation from Meng.
Moe continued: "Our lives have long been tied together...... You are my brain, I am your body, our souls cooperate with each other, we will never give up, come on! Master - this may be the last time you will be called Master, let's fight together! Let them see the dance of the elves of the other world! Meet the King of Trainers from the Lower Realm! ”
"Good!" Zhibei's fighting spirit was high, "I will definitely be worthy of the prestige of my world champion, let's fight together!" My little friend! ”
"You're in secondary two again! A sucker! Moe pursed her lips and complained.
"Ha, ha." Zhibeigan laughed twice, and at this time, a tall black shadow rushed to Zhibei's side and also squatted on the mound.
The guy with a broken leg and a missing eye, sitting crookedly, was actually the wolf king.
"What's wrong?" Zhibei asked habitually.
"Here they are, and I can already hear the countless footsteps...... There is also the crisp sound of bronze colliding, haha, war, coming! The wolf king suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out an extremely loud wolf howl.
It's time to ignite the beacon!
