The world needs more heroes

Philomena's setting for Shimada Hanzo is simple to say, but unexpectedly tragic.

Because in the original game plot, Shimada Hanzo and Shimada Genji are originally a pair of brothers. They grew up together. The older brother has a more serious personality, while the younger brother is just like his childhood nickname. little sparrow.

As an elder brother, Shimada Hanzo needs to bear the expectations and hopes of everyone in the family. As the eldest son of Daimyo Shimada of the Yakuza family, he is the default heir, so he has always demanded himself with strict standards.

In contrast, Genji Shimada, who is the second son and has a detached personality, is much happier than Hanzo, wasting time in the video game hall, grabbing dolls from the claw machine to make girls happy.

The paths of the brothers have diverged since childhood.

And Philomena does not intend to completely replace Genji's character setting, because in the setting, it is impossible for a character like Hanzo to agree to teach her own fighting skills just because of the little girl's request, so when Philomena succeeds When Hanzo was waiting in the alley next to the house, all the scripts were proceeding according to her previous arrangement.

The somewhat anxious little girl tightly held the arrow made of wood, and looked around with a little trepidation. Today, her adoptive parents just received the relief money allocated by the Stark Foundation, so There is a high probability that they will not go home.

But Philomena has been cautious since she was a child. She looked at the sky that was about to darken, and was already hesitating whether to go home quickly. She shouldn't have known Mr. Shimada Hanzo in the first place. .

"...What are you thinking?" A majestic voice sounded behind Philomena, she flinched suddenly, turned her head quickly, and relaxed a little when she saw the figure she had just seen this afternoon Down: "Hi, Mr. Shimada, may I ask—"

"Don't talk." Hanzo interrupted Philomena, squatting in her body and watching the scene with relish, Philomena was not displeased at all, and even complained to Athena quietly: 'I feel that my plot design is still a bit flawed, and I feel that Hanzo should not be the kind of person who would find a substitute. '

[No one knows their personalities except you, the background settings of the game characters have been written into the rules of the world by the system. 】Athena's implication is that Philomena is the only one who knows anyway, so it's up to her to make up whatever she wants.

Philomena wanted to refute, but before she could say anything, she realized that she was just arguing with an artificial intelligence, so she took the words back, and continued to squat in her uncontrollable body to watch this special show for others. watching TV series.

Little Philomena finally succeeded in relying on Shimada Hanzo, and began the hard training with gradually increasing scars on her body.

Since Philomena herself doesn't know how the daimyo of the ninja family trains ninjas, she just briefly thought about the training here in the setting, and it must be particularly difficult anyway.

The false memory in the details has been completely made up for Philomena. Holding the wooden knife in her hand, the little girl rushed to the unarmed Shimada Hanzo again in sweat, and raised her voice: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ——!”

"The speed is too slow, the attack intention is obvious, the foot is not stable, and the strength is not enough." Shimada Hanzo casually turned sideways, and hit Philomena's back with a hand knife, directly hitting the girl who rushed over Knocked down to the ground again.

Filomina, who rushed straight to the street, was lying on the ground panting heavily. Due to her inertia, she rushed a long way, and the sound of approaching footsteps came from behind her.

A can of ice water that is a bit cold but not too irritating to the body touched Philomena's cheek. The girl raised her head in a daze. The mature man in front of her was still very serious, but he held a bottle in his hand. Water and handkerchief: "Come here for today...you can go back after eating the sushi on the table."

"But—"

"Canned food can't give you enough energy. If you want to get stronger, you have to listen to me."

"...Okay, thank you, Mr. Hanzo." The little girl whispered, turned over and sat cross-legged on the ground, she reached out and took the water and handkerchief that Hanzo handed over to herself, quickly but delicately Wiping off the remaining sweat on his face: "May I ask a question?"

"kindness?"

"Why are you so nice to me? I don't think—with all due respect—you don't seem like someone who would just pick up apprentices on the street."

The air fell into silence for a moment, and the 16-year-old Filomina stared at this scene with some interest. The training days may be very boring to the spy, so the other party often fast-forwards, This is one of those rare times when you hear Philomena's own story.

It has been a year since Philomena became a disciple of Shimada Hanzo. A few months ago, she joined Overwatch and became a member of this organization. So far, no investigation missions and expulsion missions have been performed because of Hanzo. He thinks that his disciples are not capable enough and have not yet become a teacher.

In fact, in the eyes of the members, her progress can be described as rapid, and she has been able to pass a few tricks under the strengthened soldier Jack Morrison.

Also because Philomena has known him for a long time, and his story is really not a secret, so Hanzo pondered for a few seconds before speaking: "I used to have a younger brother named Genji. "

"He died in a family conflict, so I left my family."

The time was fast forwarded again, and Philomena found that the other party would stop when certain characters or creatures appeared, for example, when Commander Morrison informed Shimada Hanzo where another target creature appeared.

The person who was spying on his memory seemed to want to find out the source of the dark creature, and even other secrets, but Philomena hadn't explored this part yet.

And the calm and busy days stop at a certain day.

"I don't understand, Hanzo, we can obviously help more people──"

"What's your condition for joining Overwatch, have you forgotten, Genji?"

Subtle quarrels came faintly from the training ground where Philomena had been staying. The agents passing by outside frowned with concern. The doctor of nanobiotechnology walked quickly into the commander's office.

And the quarrel continued.

On the day when Philomena successfully became a teacher and was finally able to officially join Overwatch, when she chose the organization code name, she chose that name without hesitation.

The name that represents Shimada Hanzo's past.

"You are simply unreasonable, Genji." With a dark face, Hanzo seemed to have no desire to communicate with Philomena. The man stood up, put away his two sabers, and was about to leave, while standing in the original Philomena on the ground didn't look tall, she was wearing a light ninja combat uniform, her tall black ponytail was tied behind her head, and she was staring angrily at Shimada Hanzo who was about to leave.

"You tell yourself that you left the family and joined Overwatch because of your brother's last wish and death, in order to save the world from disaster."

"But you are not, the terrorist attack two days ago, the suicide bombing a month ago, the kidnapping and tearing up the papers [-] days ago - obviously we can save them!"

Shimada Hanzo didn't look back, and the figure with his back to Philomena seemed to be covered by a shadow: "The price is that Overwatch, which has been lurking for many years, is discovered."

"You're just a coward who wants to run away, using the name of Genji—your dead brother—as your bargaining chip!"

It was an earth-shattering battle, the sound of swords clashing could be heard for a long time, and the bright red blood almost stained the entire ground of the training ground. Hanzo, who had always been serious and self-disciplined, turned red for the first time when he used the sword in his hand. When cutting to the disciple she had taught for many years, Philomena, who was crouching in her immobile body, knew that the plot she set was about to begin.

The sword in Genji's hand was blown away by Shimada Hanzo, who was more proficient in fighting. After spinning a few times in the air, it stabbed straight to the ground in the distance. The sharp sword pierced into the metal ground, The huge force caused the blade to shake.

And the 15-year-old girl who lost her weapon opened her eyes slightly, everything was infinitely slowed down in front of her, she watched the too familiar Taidao slashing at herself, the speed was so fast that it should appear immediately The pain was delayed for a long time before appearing.

Her right arm fell heavily to the ground, and blood spurted out of her chest and abdomen along with the incision. Crazy pain swept Philomena's body at this moment, even Philomena who was squatting inside this body The pain was almost unbearable.

Hanzo, who was too close to the girl due to swinging a knife, is on Philomena's left hand at the moment. Philomena, who had been passively defending just now, finally stretched out her hand with difficulty and touched Shimada Hanzo's cheek before landing. , smearing red blood on his face.

When the blade in his hand crossed Philomena's body, Shimada Hanzo, who was controlled by anger, suddenly stopped his movements, and the arm that fell on the ground and most of the body that had been cut off at the waist finally re-entered. Out of his sight, the girl who had lost consciousness due to the huge pain fell to the ground, her broken body seemed to be telling Hanzo what unforgivable thing he had done under the control of his emotions.

"...Genji?" The man opened his mouth with some difficulty, he let go of the knife in his hand, squatted down but didn't know what to do: "Genji."

The blue eyes are empty and lifeless, and the huge scratched knife mark on the face runs across her beautiful face that has not yet opened yet. The 15-year-old girl who has lost consciousness and herself are trusted. The body injured by the old man seems to have stayed in the most beautiful years forever.

Philomena felt as if she had vaguely heard a sentence: "Sure enough, there is nothing good about being an older brother!"
