It took Naka a few seconds to understand what Maki meant.

He looked slightly puzzled.

But this confusion was quickly replaced by more worry.

Maki didn't look very well - there was a subtle pallor to her face, but an unnatural blush on her cheeks, somewhere between excitement and fear.

The last time Nakaya saw people in this state was the Dragon Head War a few years ago, the battle with the most dead in Yokohama's history.

People in the state of war always have such an expression, half excited, half scared—maybe even they themselves don't know what they are excited about, but war is like this, it will erode people's thinking, let People become less like people.

However, such an expression should not appear on Maki's face.

—Besides, there is no war now.

So Zhong Ye asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Maki shook her head.

Probably feeling that she is not so convincing, she said: "It's just that it is more difficult to make a decision."

Chuya, who had almost forgotten about it just now, was pulled back by Maki.

He frowned deeply and asked, "Why did you do this?"

"Because this is the only way at present." Maki said lightly.

Zhong also looked at her with some puzzlement: "What is the only one——"

He paused.

The little girl looked up at him.She rarely showed such a serious look, and anyone who saw it would think that she had thought it through.

However, Chuya still didn't understand.

In his eyes, Maki just went to school well, and then accidentally got involved in a little trouble-obviously there are many other ways to solve this matter.

Or, this matter does not need to be resolved at all.

Humans are forgetful creatures, as long as Maki keeps a low profile, after a while, others will forget even her name.

"You said," he said hesitantly, "that you wanted to be a hero."

"uh-huh."

So Zhong was even more puzzled.

A person who wants to be a hero should not exclude himself from a school with a hero department, because that is almost the easiest—and only—opportunity for a person to become a professional hero.But Maki gave up this opportunity by herself, even though this opportunity was bought by her hard work for nearly half a year.

Zhong couldn't help but think of the things that Maki did recently and before.

When she was saving people in the amusement park, when Xiongying was saving people, and when she was saving people in Yokohama.

Only then did he realize that Maki seemed to be on the way to save others all the time.

Even at the expense of himself.

Inexplicably, he felt that Maki was somewhat similar to someone he knew but hated.

Osamu Dazai.

The same is true of that guy, in order to achieve his goal, he can let himself be hurt at will.

But Maki and Dazai are different people.

China also understands this very well.

Therefore, he felt that Maki just made the wrong decision because of a moment of panic. This is a very common thing for children of her age-they do the wrong questions and say the wrong words every day, because they say the wrong words. Fight with friends, then make up.

So he said to Zhenji in a coaxing tone: "Let's sit down and think about it, okay?"

Maki shook her head.

Zhong also thought she was being angry, which is a very common thing for children.

He stood up, intending to pour a glass of milk for Zhenji or something, and then give him a good coax.

As a guardian, he has the obligation to lead the children on the right path.

However, Chuya's movements suddenly stopped when he saw Maki's expression.

Maki's face, which was expressionless just now, suddenly showed a somewhat determined look, as if she had suddenly made up her mind.

Zhong also felt his heart tremble.

His lips moved, but before he could say anything, Maki spoke.

"I'm not a kid anymore," Maki said quickly, interrupting what Nakaya hadn't said, "I'm 25 this year—maybe more."

Zhong also froze for a moment.

For a moment, he almost thought that Maki was joking, or that he ate something wrong and was talking crazy.

However, the little girl's eyes were more serious than ever. After saying this sentence, she looked strangely relaxed as if she had put down something heavy—but she was also a little uneasy because of what might happen next .

Maki raised her eyes and said, "Don't you think the way I appear in front of you is a bit strange?"

Of course Zhong also felt so.

But he deliberately didn't think about it carefully, because Maki is a treasure to him.

Treasures that fell from the sky.

And those who are lucky enough to get the treasure should not ask why the treasure fell into his hands—Chuya was also afraid that if he got too clear, Maki would slip away from his hand like sand in a funnel up.

Chuya subconsciously wanted to stop Maki from saying the next thing.

But Maki just took a step back—she felt herself hit the edge of the table, and it hurt a little.

After thinking about it, she simply put her hand on the table and sat on it.

Maki slowly swayed his two legs, and said as if telling a story:

"I'm not from this world."

Chuuya's pupils trembled.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the little girl's mouth: "I was an ordinary white-collar worker in the original world - I worked in real estate, had few friends, and played games every day. Then one day, I died, and after I died, I fell to this place."

It took Zhong also a long time to find his voice.

He subconsciously looked for the irrationality in this story: "Then why, do you have the identity you should have in this world?"

Maki paused, and said, "You mean the orphans in Yokohama? You're right—"

She has always been an orphan.

Whether it's the previous life, or... the previous life.

【Host. 】

Maki heard the voice of the system reminding her.

She smiled and said, "You should have sealed my mouth earlier, anyway, it's too late now."

She closed her eyes briefly: "Have you heard of 'system'?"

Maki observed Chuya's expression.She saw a little confusion, so she determined that he probably didn't have any impression of this word—it's not surprising, after all, Zhong also didn't look like the kind of person who would read light novels and comics.

Maki explained: "It's similar to the control system in the game, which will give you abilities and assign tasks to you."

She believed that when she said this, Zhong should understand what she meant.

Nakaya's long eyelashes trembled.

He said: "You mean - everything you do now is just a game for you?"

"uh-huh."

Maki said: "After finishing the big boss, I can go home."

It's true that I haven't read any light novels or manga.

But it's not like he hasn't played games.

He was silent for a long time.

Then he asked hoarsely, "What about me?"

"Am I the novice village npc in the game that provides accommodation and basic equipment for the protagonist?"

Maki tried to put on a smile and lighten up the atmosphere a little.

But she failed.

She said almost bitterly: "...That's right."

After saying this word, she didn't look at Zhongya's face anymore.

She dared not look.

She didn't dare to look at the face that always pampered her, showing an expression of disgust towards her.

Maki's slender hands gripped the edge of the table tightly, her green fingers almost snapping off.

She said quickly, "I'll move out right away without giving you any more trouble—"

then.

She heard Chuya say in an unbelievably calm voice, "Is that 'big boss' you mentioned very powerful?"

Maki raised her head in a daze.

There was no disgust on Chuya's face, and he even had a soft smile on his face.

"I used to think I was mean."

Before she could react, Zhong continued, "Because I fell in love with you, little girl."

Maki's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I told myself it might just be a passing feeling - it's going to go away soon, you're supposed to like a kid your age, and I'm going to bless you in the future."

He paused, then changed his voice: "So, is that person very powerful?"

Maki nodded subconsciously: "But I will find a way to defeat him alone—"

"And leave everyone here, your friends, your loved ones, and go home?"

Maki was silent for a long time.

Then slowly, stiffly nodded.

"You should look at your own face," Chuya said.

Maki tilted her head suspiciously.

Zhong also smiled and said, "Because when I'm deceiving myself, my expression is exactly the same as yours."

【Host. 】

This time the system's voice was probably trying to comfort her, but it didn't have any effect. When Jaejou said that sentence, all the barriers she had built for herself with lies before disappeared, and Maki felt unprecedented. shake.

Of course she didn't want to leave this place.

She also has no home to return to.

But the rest is between her and Lifa, she doesn't want anyone to be hurt because of herself.

...she didn't want to see the second leader Jae appear in front of her.

Maki's lips moved.

She wanted to say something more, but before the sentence came out—

The orange-haired man took a step forward, stretched out a hand, and gently placed it on the back of the little girl's neck.

Then, with half a gentleness, and half a strong kiss.

The author has something to say:

In the gap between each word in the last paragraph, it says "You did your best"

This level should not be locked...it should be (.)

I will come back after dinner and write the second update√
