disqualified hero

One year.

Aizawa Shouta.

The lives of social animals are much the same, and so are heroes.Aizawa Shouta has been a teacher for many years. This profession can be summed up in a word. From the day he joins the job, he can clearly see what he will be like 20 years later.He is a little bit better, he is more or less a hero, and his life is still turbulent.

He ate breakfast at home, a sun egg, two slices of toast, a glass of vegetable juice, and then went to work with his laptop.

Go out from the door of the house and walk 300 meters east to a commercial street. At [-] o'clock in the morning, the commercial street is already full of people, mostly old people and housewives, picking fresh ingredients in fish shops or outside [-] houses, restaurants and video stores, etc. Some of them haven't opened yet, and they don't open until after [-]:[-] in the morning.

There is a private bookstore in the northeast corner of the street. The roof is painted red, and the neighbors call it the red room. When Aizawa Shouta passed by, he saw the owner sticking a poster on the glass door. It was the new book promotion of this issue.

One is "Born to Be Human" by Osamu Dazai, and the second is "Selected Works of Dazai Correspondence".

He probably heard from Nagae Konoe that Aketa Yuji wanted to name the second book "Dear Nagae Konoe" or "The Correspondence Collection of Dazai and Nagae", but the other party strongly opposed it and did not agree. Let your name appear in the title of the book.

"I just wanted to let other people know about Dazai, so I decided to make the letter public." She said something that didn't fit her image of a lady at all, "If you make me a heroine in your promotion, I will put your Screw your head off and kick it as a ball."

Akata Yuji shrugged, he was really threatened, but if Nagae Komino didn't emphasize it, he would definitely be able to do this. He is a businessman, and a businessman is after profit. Before selling a book, it is the most effective way to build momentum Just make some passionate and romantic titles, there is nothing better than creating a virtual lover for Dazai.

But Nagae Shinano said this, and he didn't dare to act rashly. During the year when he helped Dazai sort out and publish the book, Akita Yuji almost became a good person.

Aizawa Xiaota has been looking at it for too long, the owner of the red house has already put up the poster, and when he got down from the wooden escalator, he saw a middle-aged man when he turned around. Aizawa Xiaota often came to him to buy books, and the two chatted briefly. After a few words, he didn't know that this man who seemed to be unable to wake up was Xiongying's teacher. He only thought that he was interested in the new book: "It will be sold this afternoon." He smiled kindly, "I want you to save it for me." Two copies? They should sell well, with a lot of people pre-ordering."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." He nodded in a mysterious way.

Crossing the commercial street is the subway station. Aizawa Shouta walked down the tunnel. The marble walls were covered with fluorescent advertising screens. In the past, the screens displayed either sports drinks or cosmetics promotions, but on this special day today they were all replaced with The official document propaganda of the government in black and white.

／Tower of Heroes Collapse, [-]st Anniversary／

Below, use a black charcoal pencil to trace the appearance of the broken iron tower.

In fact, the hero tower is not like this. Aizawa Xiaota lowered his eyelids, and his thinking ran a long way. The hero tower in the painting was artistically processed, and it was precisely broken from the middle, turning into an inverted V, while the top part of the real hero tower was burnt. It's gone, and the other parts are also scattered, leaving only a lonely base in the end.

[It has been a year. ]

……

The atmosphere of the school is not quite the same as before. Since about half a month ago, the students of Xiongying Class A have been counting down with their fingers day by day. As far as Aizawa Kota is concerned, there is no need to be like this, even if it is not counting days, They were also reminded that today was an extraordinary day.

"Anyway, the principal is going to talk, right?" the teachers said while chatting, "The darkest day in Tokyo is also the brightest day, the day when Oulumite retired, the day when afo died, you can talk about any topic you choose Don't stop talking for a day." All schools in Japan that offer hero subjects have to talk.

"What is the topic of President Nezu's speech?"

"do not know."

"I haven't heard of it."

They chatted away from Aizawa Shouta, even if they didn't know the right and wrong between the two, they also knew that Dazai was Eraserhead's promising student, and they couldn't do such a thing, so Eraserhead Feeling the rare thoughtfulness, no one bothered him or disturbed him when he was working.

Aizawa Shouta began to have time to think about his own affairs, more precisely, "fugue".

On weekends, he went to the Monument of Heroes. Aizawa Shouta had never been there before last year. He has many hero friends, but no one can enter this place except Orumite. As a tourist item, its meaning is too deep. Looking at the stele, he would feel his dry eyes hurt more and more.

The last time it was Dazai's funeral, this time it was a year, and some wine was sent over, so that the boy who was addicted to alcohol at a young age could not find good wine at the foot of the Santu River.

He went on the weekend, and the anniversary day was a weekday, and he had to go to school, so he couldn't spare time.Aizawa Yuta guessed that he arrived a little late, two huge rattan boxes were placed in front of the tombstone, and when the lid was lifted, they were all full.

[Canned crab meat, crab sticks, "Sea Crab Encyclopedia"? ] The science textbook placed at the bottom made him look puzzled, and then continued to count, ["Born to be Human", "Communication Collection", "Complete Suicide Manual", game consoles, game cards...]

Aizawa Sho too secretly heaved a sigh of relief, at least he didn't bring wine, which gave his gift a unique sense of ceremony.

He stacked the scattered cans from different brands together, leaving a corner, and then stuffed the wine bottle into it,

After doing this, Aizawa Shouta was silent again, he looked down at the tablet without words, he wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know what to say, the strange silence spread around him until a bunch of small white flowers , was placed on a rattan basket.

It was a little girl.

Aizawa Shouta was almost a little surprised and said: "Why did you put the flowers here?" There was caution hidden in his voice.

The little girl turned her head and looked at him with some doubts. She was a lovely child, wearing a primary school student's dress, with well-trimmed black hair tucked into a hat.

"Flowers are for heroes." She pointed to the small bunch of white flowers, with yellow stamens and snow-white petals. There were about twenty tiny petals on the flower plate. On the flower, looking down carefully, you can see a shining rainbow from the round water drops.

"The hero sleeps here, so I gave her the flowers that represent summer." The girl said, "I hope he can smell the flowers too."

Aizawa Shota's nose was a little uncomfortable, it was sore.

……

The principal’s speech took place during the break in the morning, and the break between the second and third classes was slightly longer. Students could not only relax, but also go to the cafeteria to buy some snacks to replenish their energy.Xiongying's school spirit is open, even if the principal speaks, he will not gather everyone in the auditorium. At best, he just turns on the school's stereo, so that Principal Nezu's voice can echo in every corner with Xia Feng.

／Speech from Principal Nezu:

Dear students, everyone, today is a special day, as we all know, on this day last year, the Tower of Heroes collapsed and the city of Tokyo turned into a sea of ​​flames.There are many things that can be said about this issue, but since we are Xiongying High School, we have to talk about topics related to heroes.You may think I'm repeating the same old story, because I'm going to talk to you about "real heroes."

Speaking of this topic, the No.1 member in the hearts of the students must be Oulumite, not only for your generation, but even for the existing group of heroes, Oulumite is a benchmark figure , He ushered in a new era, making heroes synonymous with prosperity, stability, peace, justice, and strength.

Today is also the one-year anniversary of Oulumite's retirement. Here, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to him and thank you for everything you have brought us before.

Closer to home, there are all kinds of heroes in this world besides Orumite. Although I know that the dreams of my classmates should all be No.1 who can shoulder the future of Japan, but now that the situation has changed , I have to say, I hope that the eyes of all students can become broader and see more people and the world farther away.

Our society is undergoing tremendous changes. This change has never stopped, but the real waves started a year ago. The current social situation requires us not to just save the people in front of us. We need to look longer and farther .For this reason, I would like to ask the students three questions. Of course, there are no answers to these three questions.

The first is the enemy problem. After the Battle of the Hero Tower, the enemy is divided into two parts, one part is the association faction headed by Goliath, and the other part is the aimless and unorganized chaos that was once common.For the latter, the heroes are honest, but for the former, how to treat them is what you need to think about.

Have they contributed to society, that is inevitable, and security has indeed become better; are they harmful to society?That is also inevitable. The guns, ammunition, and medicines circulating in Japan are flowing into Japan's tens of thousands of river networks in a more regulated manner.For these enemies of the new era, it is not okay to blindly reject them, but neither is it to believe them, recognize them, or even worship their violent deeds, please don't deny it, I know many of you think they are also a kind of hero, just The means are too extreme, but is it really right?Is it wrong?What should heroes do in the face of these enemies?These are all things you need to think about.

The second is the problem of hero management, which is closely related to the professions of most students. Starting from the hero license exam in August this year, an additional assessment has been added to the exam. The Supervisor Test held in February.I believe that even the students who have just entered school have heard the news.From a relatively superficial point of view, this can only be regarded as a new attempt in the hall. They want to create another profession that overrides heroes, or controls heroes. Regarding this rule, the society has mixed evaluations. Citizens once again ponder the limits of power a hero has.

In the past 30 years, the only duty of the hero is to fight the enemy, and in return he can reap money and fame.The proliferation of professional heroes and citizens’ blind trust in heroes have created many problems. As the principal of Xiongying, I have to tell you seriously that the era of restraining heroes by moral standards has passed, and what you are about to face is from the outside world. As well as the supervision of the executive party, I know that everyone will have objections to this, there will be voices of approval, and there will be voices of opposition. After a while, the school will add related courses to introduce the hero management system. I hope that students will continue to learn Afterwards, there will be more in-depth thinking and understanding of this issue.

Finally, I want to talk about a question that is mixed with personal emotions, that is, who is a real hero, and the model for discussing this question is the well-known senior or junior, Osamu Dazai.

As a small mammal, I have a very sensitive hearing system, and I can already hear you all humming and whispering, but I must say that no matter how much mixed news you get from the press, the Internet or other places, Your classmate Osamu Dazai can be called a real hero.

Whether a hero is a hero depends on how much he has contributed to society, the people, and the entire history of mankind. As for "people who have done wrong things cannot become heroes", it is unreasonable and absurd.When he used himself as fuel to jump down from the Tower of Heroes, the whole city and everyone living in Tokyo received his favor. Without Dazai's sacrifice, we would never know what Japan would do What a price to pay, at this superficial level, he is enough to be called a hero, but in a more profound view, the prototype of the system he left for us points out the existing injustice in society, and the shredded dualistic illusion has a negative impact on society. have more far-reaching effects.

He is a real genius and a real hero. This is what I want to tell my classmates on the first anniversary today.

Heroes should have their own judgment, but the universal values ​​of heroes should be at the same height. From the perspective of human history, it is good to look at any enemy and not miss any hero. This is what I hope you can do .

The above is the whole content of my speech. /

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Aizawa Kota picked up his briefcase and started on his way home.

Compared with when he went out in the morning, he was in a much better mood. The reason for this was that Principal Nezu's speech played an important role. No one expected him to say such a thing.Perhaps it is precisely because the principal is not a human being, but a little mouse, that he can jump out of the human thinking frame and make amazing remarks.

Aizawa Shouta can already see questioning from all walks of life, journalists pouring in, and letters of protest pouring in like snowflakes from all directions. He will be very busy, but this busyness will not damage his good mood.

The lights in the red room were turned on, people came and went, came out of the glass door with philosophy books, novels or comics, he also opened the door, the wind chimes hanging on the eaves jingled, the boss saw him, He directly took out the two packaged books from under the table and handed them to Aizawa Shouta.

"Thank you," he said.

The door was pushed open again, and the sky outside was half dark, but the sky at the end of the road was dotted with two or three magnificent sunset glows.

[Tomorrow will be a fine day. ] His mood also became lighter.

[Tomorrow will be better. ]

***

Five years.

Akemi Kobayakawa.

Akemi Kobayakawa, 20 years old, is a second-year student at the University of Tokyo majoring in law, and is also an intern for the Prime Minister's secretary.

The current prime minister is no longer the one a few years ago. After all, he did not escape the curse of the prime minister a year after Prime Minister Tsushima. After the chaos, he quickly fell down. After that, there was a new political purge. Alternately, five years later, the new generation of politicians is different again.

For example, Akemi Kobayakawa, who is sitting in the position of Prime Minister, is sorting out the materials. Her title is part-time, but she has done far more than that. With the help of the strong capital behind him, he embarked on the road of a professional politician step by step.

The best result is to become Japan's first female prime minister, but no one knows whether she can break through the ceiling.

Jihiro Uesugi, who is now Prime Minister Uesugi, has been sitting in this position for a year and a half. According to the latest polls, he will not be ousted by the angry crowd. Went to have dinner with the leader of a certain Middle Eastern country. They were negotiating a new energy agreement. Akemi Kobayakawa followed behind to help him make some arrangements.

In the afternoon, he will go to the Monument of Heroes to give a speech, which is a regular event every year.

During the break between meetings, he suddenly sighed: "It's been five years." He half-lyed in a large chair, with his feet on the ground, and the high-back chair turned around flexibly. The floor of the office is low, and the view is not enough. It is open, but it is very close to the former Hero Tower. The scorched land has been revived. Many tall buildings have been erected on the former desert. In the middle of the Hero Tower is a new national organization - the Hero Association.

The height of the Association of Heroes is only two-thirds of the previous Hero Tower, but considering that it is a building, it is already impressive enough. In the process of building it, the technological content is a bit beyond the standard, so that the appearance is too post-modern.

The structure of the members in the tower is complicated. There are heroes, government members, supervisors, public representatives who respond to the latest war damage investigation, and chaebol personnel who are willing to pay for their actions...

Akemi Kobayakawa has a standard smile. She has four teeth exposed, which makes her look very humble, but when you notice his eyes, you will find that her soul is made of steel.

"How is Kobayakawa-kun?" Prime Minister Uesugi asked, "Have you gone to see Shuji-kun?" They were going to go later, but they would only pass by Dazai Osamu's unnamed monument without stopping.

"Actually." She said solemnly, "I'm going to see Dazai after work tonight." Akemi Kobayakawa has her own insistence. She goes to see Dazai on the same day every year. Go empty-handed, but stand in front of the tombstone and babble to the empty coffin, telling him how much he has accomplished this year, and even read the newly promulgated regulations to Osamu Dazai one by one.

She wasn't sure the other party wanted to know this, but those bills and regulations were the only thing Akemi Kobayakawa could do.

"I heard that there are scholars emerging in the academic circles who specialize in the study of Mr. Xiuzhi." The prime minister has a lot of things to do every day, and of course he doesn't have the spare time to care about academics, but he knows these things. What kind of person is he?" He said with a smile, "Time can dilute everything, more and more people are rectifying Mr. Xiuzhi's name, and in a few years, his name should be engraved on his tombstone."

"Yes." Akemi Kobayakawa still had a dignified smile on her face. You have no way of knowing what she is thinking.

Prime Minister Uesugi sighed: "In any case, the world is indeed developing according to Shuzhi-kun's vision." Sometimes he wondered if the other party had set up a trap many years ago to help him clear his stigma as a politician, and ensure that To be able to ascend to this position after many years?What did Mr. Xiuzhi think at that time, how could he be sure that he would go according to the other party's idea?

He said those words in a high-sounding manner, as if he was comforting Kobayakawa Mingmei. As the principal of the High School Affiliated to Dongda University at that time, no one knew better than Uesugi Akihiro, the ambiguous atmosphere surging between boys and girls, mixed with the youthful longing for love It is the closest and farthest distance between men and women. Looking back, every time he looks up, he seems to be able to see Akemi Kobayakawa following behind Osamu Dazai.

His words are full of false encouragement: "A hero should have a reputation that matches him. As long as we continue to work hard, as long as society continues to develop, more and more people will always learn about Mr. Xiuzhi's achievements and understand him. He is a true hero, and on that day, we can engrave his name on the stone tablet openly, and the people will be grateful for Dazai-kun's good deeds."

"If that's the case, Santu Kawashita Shuji-kun should also feel a little bit relieved."

[Of course he will not be pleased. ]

Kobayakawa-kun has already mastered the skills of a politician. Even if he is full of resentment, he can still wear a smile that Dazai called "full of vitality". Jun, I am very afraid of pain].

She is quite aware of this.

[Such a timid person, he would not even attempt the painful suicide method, but let himself be reduced to ashes in the fire. ] Sometimes, Kobayakawa-kun even hoped that Osamu Dazai would be dead before that, and that afo's spear skills should be more accurate, so that he could penetrate Osamu Dazai's chest in an instant.

[Then he won't be in too much pain. ]

She hid herself in the team following the prime minister, walked through the cemetery, and glanced at the heroic monuments one by one. When she saw the unnamed monument, her eyes stopped for a while.

[Everyone alive in Tokyo and the people of Japan are indebted to Mr. Dazai. ] Such a ruthless idea was buried in her heart for a long time, and a bunch of flowers bloomed.

[but……]

[When I think that this is the world Dazai-kun loves, the world he will protect even if he sacrifices himself, and the world that makes him feel all the joys and sorrows in the world, I know that I must do that. ]

[Love the world that Dazai-kun loves, protect the world that Dazai-kun wants to protect, and become the self he wants me to be. ]

[The burning sun. ]

"I am Kobayakawa Akemi, and my personality is the sun." She could see that day, standing on the stage, showing a bright and warm smile to the people of all Japan, saying that her prime minister took the oath, "The so-called sun is to burn yourself and give others Come bring warmth, fire and light." She said, "I will burn myself for the people, peace and future of this country, until the end, nothing will be left."

"I will love this country more than people who love this country. As long as it is a corner where the sun can shine, I will do my best to dispel the darkness and bring light and hope." She said, "I will contribute myself to the whole country. country until every citizen feels fairness, justice, hope and love."

[This is the only thing I can do for you who has passed away. ]

/ Be the sun, Akemi-chan! /

[I want to be the sun. ]

ten years.

Saeko Morino.

The red light on the voice recorder is blinking, it's working fine, it's functioning well.

She was sitting face to face with Izuku Midoriya, where Katsuki Bakugo was sitting six or 10 minutes ago, Saeko Morino was lucky, she made an appointment with the two heroes who are now in the limelight on the same day, and interviewed them.

Of course, the content of the interview is not related to hero activities. She is a hero chef, but she is not chasing popular people. In terms of social status, the young Saeko Morino is a scholar who specializes in Dazai Governance, and thin famous scholars.

"I am very happy to talk about him on this special day today." Izuku Midoriya has changed. He looks very different from before. He is taller, more hard-coated, and the uniform he wears has been improved many times. He sees He looks calm and confident, and the timidity and fear of many years ago have long been wiped out, but he doesn't seem to have changed, his hair is still fluffy, his face is still a baby face, and the light that bursts out of his eyes is as firm and full of joy as ever. human contagion.

Everything is going in the right direction.

He can also talk positively about his friends. In fact, since that day ten years ago, all the fragility and barriers of Izuku Lvgu have been smashed abruptly.

"First of all, Dazai-kun is a hero, there is no doubt about it." He said, "For me, he is a friend, a mentor, and a person who guides me forward." Lu Gu's expression suddenly became a little subtle, "But at the same time, he is also a nasty bastard with a bad taste." Because of these words, Dazai's image suddenly stood up, lifelike.

"During junior high school, the relationship between me and Dazai was not so much a friend as a follower." He admitted openly, "I was weak and had no personality, but I had realistic dreams. , but didn’t work hard, and said that he wanted to be a hero, but in fact he didn’t do anything other than being a hero, and he didn’t train himself.” He smiled, “Think about it, at that time, everyone didn’t want to follow me. There is a reason to play."

"Dazai-kun is different. He is very good. He is very good without personality. He is much smarter than ordinary people. He can make girls happy. If he wants to make friends, he can make friends with anyone."

Saeko Morino asked: "Then why, Mr. Dazai chose to be friends with Mr. Doll?"

"At the beginning, it should be that he wanted to observe me?" Izuku Midoriya still expressed his inference. In fact, it was not just an inference, but Dazai's real thoughts, "Dazai-kun likes to follow me People with brilliance are together." Green Valley immediately realized something was wrong, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Of course, it doesn't mean that I am a person with brilliance, nor does it mean that I am different from everyone, really not. He said, "But at that time, I was indeed harboring ideas that ordinary people seemed to be unrealistic, and no matter how many people ridiculed me, I still didn't wake up. Dazai-kun should be based on this, and I am always together. .”

"He likes to ridicule very much. For example, when I want to go out and save someone beyond my means, he will let me take a good look at my own weakness, and then let me get rid of my thoughts, but I never listen to it. Pass." His fingers were entangled, "For me at that time, every word Dazai-kun said was torture, he could let me see a more real self and see my weakness, if I didn't hold on , may have given up the dream of becoming a hero long ago."

"Hey?"

[From what you hear, Dazai-sensei's behavior is a bit bad. ]

"But he didn't mean anything malicious." Midori Izuku said, "I realized later that it was Dazai-kun's unique method of tempering people." [He himself seems to have grown up under malice, neglect and temper of. ] Izuku Lvgu smiled, "That guy, his mouth is very stinky, and he can easily anger everyone around him, but the reason why he makes people angry is not because of insulting language or something But he can see through the most real self, the self that everyone least wants others to discover, and expose people's mistakes and weaknesses."

"If you can overcome your weaknesses in human nature, you will become a better version of yourself. That's probably what Dazai-kun thinks."

Saeko recorded in the notebook "sandling" and "swishling".

Green Valley immediately asked: "However, why did Miss Saeko decide to study Dazai-kun?" The scholar in front of her was really too young, several years younger than Green Valley and the others. She was quite a talented scholar. Before the university, she began to publish articles related to Dazai, and because the research on him has intensified in the past two years, the practical Miss Saeko also quickly became famous.

"Hey, didn't I say that?" Miss Saeko said, "I'm Dazai-sensei's hero chef." She said, "A few weeks before the Hero Tower incident, he showed his personality in public for the first time, that is To save a little girl in an amusement park."

"Nowadays, many people don't remember this. Of course, I told Mr. Puppet because I think Mr. Puppet must know." She shrugged and said, "I was the one who was rescued."

Izuku Lvgu had an epiphany: "So that's how it is."

"From this point of view, I want to know more about Dazai-sensei, and this is what I do now." She said with a smile, "However, from the very beginning, I believed that Dazai-sensei is a hero, because he has a heroic character. Eyes, because of this, I fought a lot with my classmates at school in the early years, so I am really happy to see you today."

They chatted for a while, and Izuku Midori and Saeko Morino stood up at the same time, seeing that the time was almost up: "Are you going to participate in today's event?" Izuku Midori asked. "I am also a relevant scholar anyway." Saeko Morino said, "Inscriptions on the unnamed stele, such a big event, must not be missed."

"This is an epoch-making day that I have been looking forward to for a long time."

……

A bouquet of dewy white flowers was placed in front of the stele.

Saeko Morino recalled in a trance, nine years ago, she also put a bouquet of flowers in front of the unnamed monument, why did she do that at that time?The reason is not clear, but just seeing that stone tablet and seeing a blank space with no name on it, her heart throbbed.

So she left her blessings, respect and love.

Her fingers lingered on the stele.

/ Osamu Dazai

What is buried here is a most real human being and a most sincere hero. He is timid, cowardly, intelligent and brave. You can find every desire of human beings, good and evil, light and light in him. Darkness, sadness and joy, hate and love.

But the hero is a hero because he can get rid of the dark past, fight against the tragedy of his own destiny, and finally he has transcended the past and death to become himself.

He is a treasure given to mankind by the gods.

He is a good boy like a god. /
