God knows

"The matter of the coin has a very strong hint and symbol. If you have discovered it, the two sides of the coin are actually human heads, but one side is full of scratches, which symbolizes depravity and evil."

As Sasha said, he pushed his glasses and saw that Derek didn't seem to understand, and continued to explain without paying attention.

"Head, get it? Scratched man and whole man—Harvey Dent was half-disfigured, after all."

"oh!"

Derek made a sound of sudden realization. I resisted not touching my forehead, and I was glad that Sasha didn't show any other expressions. She nodded and continued.

"...This also represents the contradiction of the role of Harvey Dent. The villain who must face the choice between good and evil is actually not a villain at all. With his personal background story, Harvey Dent is indeed a villain. A character that is relatively complex in composition.”

Derek nodded almost in awe, because he never discussed comic book characters like this.

"So, I think there is a sense of condemnation here."

Sasha said, I almost sighed at such a coincidence, if I were an ordinary person, would I be able to accept such a long list of previous stories from Sasha?

"What does that mean?" Derek asked.I wonder if he wants to ask Sasha what he thinks, or if he really wants to know what the word "condemn" means.

"Evil and good correspond to the disfigured and intact faces of the two-faced people. Don't you think it is condemning the tendency of this society to judge people by their appearance?"

Seeing that Derek didn't respond, she frowned.

"...Or am I thinking too much?"

"No, no, I think it makes sense." Derek said hurriedly, "I think I understand what you mean..."

"Then what do you think?" Sasha asked Derek's opinion in a very gentle tone, but as I said, Derek is a more suitable person to ask questions.

"I don't know," he said honestly, "I think you're right, I didn't think too much about it."

Sasha smiled softly. This was the first time I saw Sasha laughing, and I was very surprised.Sasha has a lovely smile.

"You don't really have a problem, do you?"

Derek nodded.Speaking of which, Sasha was a little more tactful.

"It's a good thing." Sasha's words were a little close to talking to himself, "I talk too much."

"No, no, I, I like..."

"...I like what you said."

Almost confessed.

I saw Phoenix frowned, obviously Derek just felt uncomfortable in Phoenix at that moment.

But that impatient roar was not from Phoenix.

Right at the end of the aisle, there were two bastard-looking men standing there, staring at us.

It seems not so good.

"What the hell are you arguing about?" A man wearing a T-shirt of the KISS band yelled, "When you read comics, just read comics, don't be so fucking jabbering."

"screw you."

I just hate myself for keeping silent for so long but couldn't help it at this moment, "Who the hell is speaking loudly now?"

"Just shut up, no one wants to hear your shitty theories." Another man in a black T-hat cursed, turning his head and leaving.

Fucking shit theory.Although Sasha didn't make an expression, it could be seen that his eyes were a little hurt.

Derek apparently saw it too, which surprised me too, since Derek isn't usually one to read things.

"Son of a bitch."

He scolded, and then, very badly, the two men turned their heads after listening.

"What did you say?"

"Oops, angry, very angry."

Finnis reminded me, the tone was so worried, but like all her warnings, it was always not well timed and urgent, because at the same time she reminded me, I happened to answer the punks' questions in the wrong way.

"He said, you two shit faces are nothing more than potatoes with eyes!"

Then, almost as expected, we got punched.

When they rushed over, Derek could only pull Sasha back just in time. I threw "Justice League" at the bastard's face, bent over and picked up Sasha's paper bag, and then pulled her and rushed outside.

"Good job, Ann," said Phoenix, running behind me, slightly teasing, "it's the moral thing to do by throwing people in and cleaning up the mess."

"The Justice League can't save him, so I'll let it go."

I said.It was a pun, and Phoenix laughed.

"Will Derek be okay?" Sasha asked, a worried look on his face.

She also remembered his name.I'm so relieved at the time that it looks promising; doubly so if Derek walks out of the comic shop alive.

"It's okay, he often practices fighting skills." Usually beating people, usually the object of practice is me.I didn't say the second half of the sentence.

We hid in the alley of the milkshake shop and looked out. We waited until the unbearable 3 minutes passed before we saw Derek with a bruised nose and two gangsters being driven out of the shop. They stared at each other for a while, and finally headed in opposite directions.

To my surprise, those two bastards combined were not as miserable as Derek. He was more resistant and able to fight than I thought.

Sasha and I walked out of the alley and ran toward Derek.

"You are super strong." I almost admired from the bottom of my heart.

Today's first confident smile appeared on his face. Although it looked a bit distorted under the combination of swollen eyes and broken lips, overall he looked a little heroic.

In fact, I can't figure out what kind of link this is, but Phoenix acted at this time.

She was so close to Sasha that she didn't need to use a bow, she took an arrow and stabbed it directly in her chest, which was very cruel to say the least.

"The expression is a bit funny." Phoenix glanced at me and said amusedly.

I resist the urge to talk back, because this time, it's their moment.

"You, just now..." Sasha said, her expression softening, "That, that was really brave."

Derek blushed in an instant, and said something like "No...it's okay...", it sounds like it's humility or lack of vocabulary, but in short, there is a kind of exhausted happy expression on his face, and finally To leave a good impression in the hearts of the people you like is an incredible achievement.

"You're fine," Sasha said, addressing Derek's embarrassment. "Don't worry."

"I...I'm stupid," Derek admitted.

"No, you're not stupid." Sasha smiled and said, pushing up his glasses, "You just don't like to think."

"It doesn't matter..."

"...I can help you think about your share, okay?"

Derek nodded, the expression on his face as if he had never been so surprised in his life.

"Okay, okay."

I was so excited that I didn't know what to do. I stuffed Sasha's paper bag containing books into Derek's hand, and then broke a rotten reason. No one would want to expose me anyway.

"Um... I... I suddenly realized that my taco is still in the oven, I have to go back first..."

Then I turned around and ran until I was far enough away before looking back at the figures of the two of them. They walked side by side in an unusually harmonious manner.

"Phoenix, isn't this the most incredible combination you've ever seen?"

"Actually, I think it's weird that Clark Kent and Diana might be together."

I rolled my eyes.Superman and Wonder Woman are no surprises, are they?

"Does it have to be like this? Talk about manga even if you're not reading manga?"

Phoenix laughed again.

She probably didn't mean it, but the number of times I saw her smile today is almost like an addiction.That's really addictive stuff, right?Every time Phoenix laughs, it makes me feel slightly dizzy, almost unable to feel myself.

"Is it incredible?"

She met my eyes and shook her head.

"It's in the top tier, but it won't be the fanciest."

Yeah?I laugh.

I wish I had the luck to witness it with her.
