Chapter 30: Choice (2nd Update)

Yuyuko slowly lowered her head, "That was more than ten years ago, right......?"

More than ten years ago, when that girl was first born in this world, she was regarded as ominous by almost everyone. No one wants to approach, no one wants to take care of her, and it seems that from the very beginning, her birth was destined not to be blessed as it should be.

Fortunately, at least one other person, the one with whom she had the most inseparable connection, filled in the missing blessing. Even if she was ostracized by everyone, driven out, tightened, and even cursed, she could not shake her love, her blessing, and her pity.

It's just that in this world, it is really difficult to find a deeper and stronger connection than the pregnancy of ten months, the blood is connected, and it is stronger......

"My mother, when she was young, she was a famous talented woman......," Yuyuko said with a smile as she tilted her head.

Raising, care, education...... Fortunately, there was at least one loyal attendant who resolutely followed the two of them. And with the help of this attendant, the girl was finally raised in good health......

Although the courtyard they were in was far away from people, it was also quiet. In this way, the calm, day after day time flows slowly and imperceptibly. Eventually, the girl grew up to a more sensible age, and it was then that she was truly informed of who she was and everything about herself......

"Mother, she...... Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a very gentle, even gentle to the point of being a little weak. But in my eyes, she's a very remarkable person......"

Needless to say, from the beginning, that person did not intend to hide anything from her, or instill her anything. It's about guiding her, so that she can learn to think for herself, learn to choose for herself.

"You may not believe it, but when my mother explained everything to me, I was very confused and painful and asked her what I should do, but she said to me, 'That's your choice, of course it's up to you......"

If you feel unfair to such treatment, you will feel unwilling to be reconciled to such a 'fate'. Then resentment is okay, and it's okay to give up. Because no one has the right to ask a man to lay down his life to save others.

If you feel that you can't escape, that you have to do it, that you have to accept it, then ask your heart if you are willing to accept that so-called 'fate'......

Judge for yourself, think for yourself, and choose for yourself......

Whether it is pain or resentment, it is up to you to judge and choose. She was told and taught......

"Now, Mo ......", Yuyuko turned her head to the side and looked at him, "You jealous she should have told you today." This 'power' of mine is not completely under my own control......"

"Even occasionally, because they lose control, they take the lives of innocent people around them. Even if they have no ill will towards me at all......"

Mo couldn't help but bow his head slightly, recalling the night he and the other party first met by chance, and that was the situation at that time. Ming Mingmo herself did not have any malicious intent, but her 'power' suddenly went out of control......

"But...... She shouldn't have told you who the person who died under my uncontrollable power ......",

Don't! Mo's figure shook suddenly, as if he had thought of something, raised his head and looked at Yuyuko, but the shock and uneasiness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Yuyuko lowered her head slowly, her short pink hair slightly obscuring the side of her face, making it difficult to see her expression: "Hmm...... It's also said that this kind of thing is really not so simple to talk about to outsiders......"

"......", Mo opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't open his mouth at this time, let alone say anything.

"I'll just tell you these things, these stories...... "Yuyuko turned around, and her face returned to the 'light smile' she used to have......

On that rainy night, in that courtyard, that girl, holding the cold body that was sleeping in her arms forever. The screams rang out throughout the night, tears mixed with rain soaking her body......

Then she made her own decision......

"Now, ...... Mo", Yuyuko tilted her head, "Remember, you once told me that there was a story about the 'Sakura Youkai'......"

"That's a very 'stupid' story, you say......"

"But you say that, while it's 'stupid,' it's not annoying......"

"Because they have carried out their will, their own choices, and they have no regrets from beginning to end......"

"And my mother, she told me the same thing, make your own judgment, your own thinking, your own choice, no regrets, so enough......"

"I'm not such a great person, I will have my own selfishness, and I will have my own desires, but I really can't do it, I can't ignore the tens of millions of lives that died in front of me, I can't ignore that tragedy, that kind of sorrow, happened in front of my eyes again......"

I don't know when, Mo's hands shrunk in his sleeves have been clenched into fists, he gritted his teeth, and barely squeezed out a sentence: "People will eventually die!" ”

"Yes, but it shouldn't be like that. Death is inevitable, but it shouldn't be that cross-section. Instead, you should come to old age, lie in bed, accept the gaze of relatives and friends, and finally leave calmly...... And only in this way can the living slowly walk out of the shadow of separation, gain relief, and move towards tomorrow......"

"No one has the right to ask a person to sacrifice himself in order to save more people!"

"Yes, but one is entitled to decide whether one should sacrifice oneself to save others......"

"You never owe them anything! I don't owe anything to the world! ”

"Well, I understand......"

Mo slowly closed his eyes, his cheeks trembled slightly, his hands trembled slightly, and he even had a hideous face: "The tens of millions of people you saved won't know about your sacrifice at all!" I won't even be grateful to you! ”

"Well, I know, and I've never wanted anything in return......"

Mo's clenched hands trembled, as if they were about to lose control in the next moment. But in the end, he didn't do anything, didn't say anything, slowly let go of his hands, opened his eyes, and looked at the figure in front of him:

"If, I mean, I say to you, if you were to leave it all behind, ignore the lives of those tens of millions, and flee here with me, would you look down on me......"

bitter, bitter, very bitter; Powerless, powerless, incomparably powerless......

Yuyuko smiled and shook her head, "No, I won't, because you don't do that, do you?" ”

"Thank you, Mo. Thank you for being my friend, and thank you for respecting my choice. So, that's enough, give up, you've done your best, haven't you? Here's it, let's put an end to this 'story'. ”

"It's really nice to meet you at the end of my life......"

"Thank you so much!"
