At night, ambushed in the dojo, Igarashi suke attacked his father with a real sword.

The cold light flickered in the darkness, and blood splattered across his arms. At that moment, the anger and incredulity on his father's face were firmly engraved in Igarashisuke's mind.

He really brandished his long knife at his father with murderous intent, regardless of the majestic voice asking himself "why" again and again!

"Why! That's what I'm going to ask!" shouted, Igarashi Suke had lost the slightest skill in swinging his sword, and was just dancing in anger. "You've always been the strongest for me since I was a kid! I'm living to this day according to your words! Why! Why lose to that kind of guy!"

"Ding!"

The father, who had been dodging, finally pulled out the knife on the knife holder in a fit of patience, and he had no chance of defeat in the face of Igarashi Suke, who was already messy.

In just a few rounds, the knife in Igarashisuke's hand was knocked out, and he himself fell to the ground.

Looking down at Igarashi Suke, there was no anger on his father's face, only helplessness and speechlessness.

"Jie, I've never been strong, the real strength lies in the heart. Only then can people be truly undefeated. ”

After that night, Igarashi never returned to his home. He is constantly chasing strong people, chasing the undefeated power, wandering around like a stray dog to change one master after another, just wanting to get another clear goal.

He went far, far, and yet ......

......

Why do you have such a dream now?

"Damn. ”

Hearing the murmur, Barriet hurriedly ran to Igarashisuke's side. Seeing his eyes open, the joy was palpable.

"You're finally willing to wake up!"

"Barrett......" Thinking of the identity of the girl who appeared in front of her, Igarashi suke recalled what happened before he fell unconscious.

"That guy!" shouted excitedly, and Igarashi subconsciously wanted to get up. However, the upper body only lifted a little before having to fall back.

"Would you like to settle down a little!" Barriet immediately scolded, "Your body is not in a state where you can do whatever you want. ”

That's right.

Igarashi had already felt that his body was not so painful that he couldn't move, but that his tendons and bones had been damaged, and his body couldn't move correctly according to his consciousness.

This kind of serious injury made the moment he was hit by Jack's "Nine Mangs Blitz" yesterday once again skim Igarashisuke's mind. He knew that there were many people in this world who were stronger than him, but he never thought that the gap between that kind of strength and himself was so big.

It's just two rounds, almost instantaneous, this is the real strong, who has taken being strong for granted, and no longer has to pursue strong people. It's obvious that he's gone so far, but it's still so far away from him.

"Hehe, hehehe......" Suddenly, Igarashi laughed, a soulless laugh that scared Barrett.

I see.

Igarashi understood why he had such a dream, and why he remembered the events of that night.

"Hahahaha...... I've come so far, even far from reality, to come to this kind of place, and I'm still the same as I was back then, I'm still so weak! Now, Barrett, you must think I'm funny now, right?"

"No! it's not funny at all!" said Barrett categorically, "Indeed, you failed to defeat that man. But even then, you're strong enough! Because, didn't you protect me! I'm the weakest one, and I can't protect anything. ”

As she spoke, Barrett's expression turned sad.

"Didn't you protect me?" said Igarasuke remembers seeing Barrett running towards him a moment before he lost consciousness.

Although her tone was still so indifferent, Barriet understood what she meant to comfort herself.

"Nope. I couldn't do anything. She smiled wryly and said, "We were spared by the enemy." ”

"Even so, what you've shown is far more powerful than mine. ”

"Alright! Comfort others or something, you're not suitable at all!"

"I'm not comforting you. Just like yesterday I didn't intend to save you. ”

"Huh?" Barriet let out a confused voice.

Last night, if it hadn't been for Igarashi Suke's timely help, she would have died. However, Igarashisuke's words didn't sound like they were simply comforting her, so I didn't understand what he meant.

"Didn't I tell you before. Seeing Barrett's puzzled expression, Igarashi Suke slowly explained, "The so-called strength is more about the strength of the heart. It's something I don't have, and you already had it on the night we first met. ”

"Me?"

"Courage. You are very weak, but as a weak person you dare to face the strong. It's like when you asked me that night, like when you confronted Palyusis last night, like when you thought about protecting me, and many, many more. Looking at you, I can't help but project myself, so I will be angry because of your weakness, because once upon a time I didn't want to show weakness. So I will pity you for your helplessness, because once upon a time I wished that someone could help me. It's all for my self-satisfaction, and nothing is really for you. ”

Perhaps it was because that dream evoked a soft part of his heart, and Igarashi couldn't stop once he spoke. It doesn't have to be Barrett, he just wants someone to talk to. And since you have to choose someone to listen to, then Barrett may be the most suitable person.

"When I was in the city of the first leaves, I said that I am very similar to you, we are both weak people who parasitize on the strong. That's just, my jealousy. Because you and I are both weak, but you are very different. You are not parasitic, you are changing, breaking through the limitations of the identity of the weak, and with that courage, you are not just an NPC, but an excellent human being. And I, the way I lived since I was eight years old has not changed until now. I have always looked at the strong and I know that the real former is empty in front of them, they are always faced with confusion, their path is determined by themselves, and their bodies and hearts are as strong as steel. And I was afraid of that confusion. What I'm looking for, maybe not being strong, just being strong enough for me to keep looking up and chasing from behind. I've been alternating on the path of others, so to this day, I'm still as weak as ever, that's why I lost to the real strong yesterday. “

How do you respond to Igarashisuke's words? Now that she thinks about it, Barriet realizes that she doesn't know the young man in front of her very well. All she could say was her own thoughts.

"Well, I think so, if you are not strong enough, you can't say such things. So, sure enough, you are still strong. ”

Hearing this, Igarashi looked at Barrett. Can this person still be so sure of himself after hearing his own words?

"As for the strength of the heart, the courage, I think you have it a long time ago. ”

Barrett continued, causing Igarashi Suke to open his eyes. Seeing the incredibleness of the latter, she smiled.

"Because, if you don't have the courage, you can't give me the courage that day, and if you hadn't accepted my request that night, I think I'd still be the little girl who only dreams in the village." If you hadn't taken care of me for those days, I wouldn't have faced my fear of the outside world. I don't think I would have been able to stand in front of you without you. So, you must have gotten the courage a long time ago, you just have to walk behind someone and look at the same scenery as him. You will never fall, because you are the strongest, the strong who can stand in front of me. Whatever the reason, don't you think it takes courage to stand up for others?"

Igarashi didn't say anything in response, just slowly closed his eyes.

"I'm tired, sleep a little longer. ”

"Well, you do need to rest. I'll go get water and food, and I'll eat a little when I wake up. Even if it is a nobleman, the self-healing of the body also requires physical strength. ”

The conversation was closed, and Barrett stood up and left for a while.

The girl's words upset him, but Igarashi didn't just want to end the topic of a little headache, he really wanted to fall asleep again. He wanted to dream about that past again. He wanted to ask himself what kind of thoughts he had when he left home.

"Didi. ”

However, it was at this moment that the chime sounded in my head. Igarashi immediately opened his eyes, and immediately saw the mail icon flashing under the status bar in the upper left of the field of vision.

"General. ”

......

The tornado in the desert valley was still roaring and raging, and the posture of the aqua blue shield was no longer visible inside.

At the same time, the otherwise calm sand, far from the storm, was also agitated.

At first, there was a trembling that became more and more intense, and then in the sound of "bang", a sand shark jumped out of the sand. Then came the second and third...... All the way up to the seventh.

Xun Hui, Clark, Hephaestus, Zongjin General Division, Emily, Leon and Jiang Ling, who can't ride a horse.

Everyone used the sand diving ability of the sand shark to escape safely from the saloon roll, and took a big gulp of fresh air to dispel the suffocation caused by the long-term breath holding.

However, there are two people who have been missing for a long time, one is Li Mengxi, who came up with the idea, and the other is Nayin Hinata, who has been supporting the protective shield for eight hours alone.

"Nayin, what about them!" Xun Hui, who came back to his senses, immediately looked for the figures of the two people, and when everyone heard the sound, they also caused Sha Xingyu to turn his head and look in the direction of the salon roll.

The aqua blue mixed with the yellow sand is very conspicuous, and the agility value of several people is high enough, if you can't see it, it can only mean that the protective shield has been unlocked. However, why hasn't the last shark been seen yet?

"There can't be any accidents, right?" said the head secretary of Zongjin in a rare way. Hearing this, Hephaestus showed a solemn expression.

"The scourge will last for a thousand years, how can that woman hang up so easily!" Exclaimed Emily at once.

"Will they be okay?" Jiang Ling looked worriedly at Leon who was leaning behind her.

"This is the kind of death that only fools do. ”

"Li Mengxi is very powerful, he is the most powerful, how could something happen!" Clark shouted nervously.

"But Nayin is different, she's already quite tired!" Xun Hui looked annoyed, she was angry at her powerlessness.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the explosion that everyone had been waiting for for a long time appeared in front of them, and the last sand shark jumped out from under the sand.

It was Li Mengxi who was riding on its back, and it was Hinata Nayin who was holding in his arms.

"I'm sorry. After the dust fell, a tired Nayin Hinata said apologetically, "We're late. ”

After a short pause, some people smiled, and some people just staggered their eyes slightly, but everyone's hearts were relieved at the same time.

"After all, you're in charge of the break, right? Hephaestus said, curling the corners of his mouth.

"It's scary. Xun Hui also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now that we have escaped, what should we do next?"

"Go back to the guy named Paliusis, of course, and fix him up!" said viciously, and Emily slammed her right fist into her left palm with a "snap".

"Idiot. Leon said with a cold face.

"Hey!"

"People are right. Hephaestus' words made Emily, who wanted to scream, choke up for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Miss Emily, but let's fix it up first. As he spoke, Li Mengxi looked at Nayin Hinata in his arms.

"Vases. I really can't help it. ”

"Trimming is trimming. Hephaestus interjected, "But we'll have to find a place as far away from the saloon roll as possible, and Igarashi Suke, whether it's a phone call or an email, you'd better ask what the hell is going on?"

"Hmm. Li Mengxi, who had the same idea, nodded, and immediately called up the mail bar.
