I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

--Did you enjoy your stay?

There was such a voice that rose from the dark place that had not yet been touched, sending out distant doubts.

He also answered it, and the answer was very straightforward and okay, a bit annoying, and he didn't like it anyway.

For a place that is not his "hometown", no matter how many people's attention and love, and how many doubts and beaks he gets here, it will not have a profound impact on him.

Not to be affected, not to be shaken.

The birth of firmness here can be traced back to the beginning, when the shriveled man he picked up and put on the roof caught up and asked that question nervously.

"Do you...do you still remember what your name is, where you come from, and where your home is?"

——It is extremely far away, and it may not be possible to find it in a lifetime.

At that time, there was almost no stagnation, and a certain imprint deeply imprinted in the heart served as an indelible reminder, immediately burning hot and painful, so that even if the boy had no memory, he would realize it immediately.

Because he does not belong to this world, it is impossible to have a sense of belonging to the other world.

Therefore, you should come as you should, and you should go as you should, without being tied down, you should be as free as the wind.

Well, though.

The reason why it is "okay, even a little annoying" rather than "it doesn't matter anyway" is also obvious.

He was actually still stuck.

Although I only stumbled once, as if I was walking boldly and unrestrainedly on a straight and flat road, my foot accidentally bumped into a rock that popped up out of nowhere—it wouldn't affect the rest of my journey, but my mood was still not good .

"You don't hate those kids, and your relationship is getting better and better. Why do you still look unhappy...Okay, okay, stop staring at me, I know I have to shut up!"

The only man he's ever acknowledged is the occasional blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Eric was much annoyed and wanted to explain.But after thinking about it, he is not suitable for explaining his intentions to others, so forget it.

After all, even Saitama, who has a high synchronization rate with him, can't understand all his thoughts.

What he hates is not those children, but the feeling of being dragged forcibly, as if being "bound".

And, what's even more annoying, is another premonition that pops up from time to time along with boredom to remind him that "staying around will do no good, and it will cause countless troubles".

... Tsk.

baffling.

What kind of person would have the idea of ​​throwing away the so-called bond first when he had just established a hard-won bond with someone he liked a little?

Eric is confused by the idea that he really exists.

After realizing that this was not an unreasonable distraction, but a premonition that could be traced, he inevitably fell into irritability.

What exactly did the man go through before to have such a cold and instinctive alienation, anyway, Eric can't remember now, so he won't say much.

He was very unhappy.

To be so irritable means that you think you will not be affected by your past self, but you are still affected in the end.

Moreover, he also vaguely realized that this premonition was indeed obtained from real experience, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to refute it or ignore it.

"How can it be so troublesome, the memory that should be given is only occasionally leaked, and it is still secretive, what kind of bastard are you!"

Yes, when Eric got angry, he could even scold "himself".

Although scolding is of no use.

After waking up from this world, it just happened to be such a coincidence that almost all the people he met were "weirds" that Eric could not ignore like other passers-by, let alone deny their kindness.

He didn't accept all those good intentions, but that didn't mean he didn't keep them in mind.

That's how the stumbling block came about.

However.

Sooner or later, he will leave.Since this idea will not fade or be shaken from beginning to end, then, Eric saves those distracting thoughts and only intends to clean up a certain tail before leaving.

The opportunity came quickly.

The truth about Bakugo Katsuki being "captured" by the enemy alliance is that he was so excited that he followed the enemy into the black mist - this is the "truth" that everyone in class A saw with their own eyes and believed it to be true.

However, the real situation, is this really the case?

"That kid is a little surprising."

Eric was a little surprised in a place that no one knew, obviously he didn't expect that Katsuki Bakugo would make such an unreasonable action.

Before the camp, Katsuki Bakugo came to see Eric.This is something that others will definitely not think of.

After the shock of the sports festival, the boy suddenly woke up from the meaningless blindness and unwillingness. Up to now, there has been a big change from the beginning.

He was able to take the initiative to find Eric and say those words to him, which was already the most rare growth.

The blond boy's eyebrows pressed against his eyes, and there seemed to be an obscure color condensed in his red eyes.However, to find this place, for the young man, it seems that he is not reluctant to go against his original wish.

He seemed to be emphasizing again, "I am not your opponent now, but in the future, I will definitely be able to defeat you!"

"Oh, got it. Then?"

Eric didn't comment on the boy's good expectations, but asked rhetorically.

Bakugo Katsuki was silent for a while.

He was still that extremely proud young man, even with a knife on his neck, he couldn't let him bow his head.

Of course, this is not bowing your head.

"Are you going to run away?"

"what?"

"It means that you are leaving! Damn it, before I return the most hated thing——"

This kid is either out of his mind, or he is deliberately trying to annoy others.

Eric hesitated for a while between beating people now or beating him after he finished speaking, and finally chose the latter.

Because he seemed to have suddenly understood the meaning of Bakugo Katsuki needing to turn the corner to listen.

What is the most annoying thing?And - go back?

Oh.

Eric "It means, you kid feels that you owe me a favor, so you are very embarrassed."

Explosive victory over oneself "!!!"

Eric said, "It's just such a small matter, just say it clearly. I don't need you to return favors, that's all."

Bakugo Katsuki "..."

"Stop talking to yourself here, bastard!"

The young man who was exposed and directly robbed of his lines was furious, and he looked like a normal explosive Katsuki.

However, he did not refute in one word, which can already explain the problem.

Bakugo Katsuki will never forget that he was indeed rescued once by a silver-haired boy who just appeared on the scene by accident.

The dissatisfaction in his heart came more from that experience. Even now that he has adjusted his mentality, the boy still cannot forget what happened at that time.

"If you owe a favor, it will make people very irritable, so you can only feel at ease if you pay it back..."

He raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly, "Didn't you say this! If so, I will give you back all the grievances at that time. It is very reasonable, and there is no problem!"

The words are sonorous, and the emotions contained in them are like thunder exploding in the ears, which is enough to leave a deep impression on the listener.

"..."

Eric looked at Katsuki Bakugo again, this time his gaze was deeper than before, and it seemed to be mixed with some really unexpected surprise.

"Yes, that's what I said." Eric said slowly.

He didn't expect that his casual complaint would be overheard by Katsuki Bakugo.

Moreover, it seems to have played a more special fermentation role.

"Your personality... Well, I just realized now that part of you is quite similar to me."

"What!"

"The like part certainly doesn't include tempers that are bad enough to be annoying."

The silver-haired boy sitting on a high place in the backlight finally jumped from the roof of the rooftop he made and landed silently.

He came this way.

At a certain moment, Bakugo Katsuki stood still in place, but suddenly recalled his last game during the sports festival in his mind.

Eric also walked over in a leisurely manner like now.

Like a mountain that cannot be looked up to, like a boulder that cannot be shaken.

Every step he took, obviously shortened the distance, but the pressure brought to the young man who couldn't move even an inch made him realize almost desperately that the gap between the two was a vast ocean.

There are similarities between the two face-to-face encounters, but later, the differences are revealed.

This time, Bakugo Katsuki only froze uncontrollably at first.

He didn't feel the suffocation like the cold sea water rising up under the glacier, covering the sky and covering the sun, overwhelming him.

One step, two steps.

Very naturally, Eric walked up to Katsuki Bakugo.Then, he walked past the boy standing with his head held high.

——He only casually raised his hand when he rubbed shoulders with him, and patted the boy's upright body with his hand.

"Exactly, do me a favor?"

Explosive victory over oneself "!"

After only being stunned for a second at the beginning, the boy's brows were full of flamboyance, and he said arrogantly, "What are you doing!"

"Should be just recently, there will be a group of inexplicable guys looking for trouble with you."

Eric said, "At that time, just send 'this' to the place closest to them."

Bakugo Katsuki glanced down and frowned, "Just this thing? Near, how close does it have to be?"

"There is no requirement, you can send it as close as you can."

"whispering sound."

Hearing this tone, Bakugo Katsuki was quite dissatisfied with this dissimilar narrative.However, he did not raise any objections, as if he had figured out a trick soon, his brows immediately relaxed.

do your best -

Are you kidding me!

"There's no such thing as 'as close as you can' with me."

At the beginning of the camp, the moment he was attacked, his eyes were ignited by the sparks that exploded in his hands, and the blond boy pulled out such an arrogant smile that was not a little weaker than Eric.

He didn't hesitate at all, he didn't stop when it was time to stop, and rushed forward.

Want to ask why?

Do not be silly!

"For me——of course, I can only give up after chasing to a place that can't get any closer!!!"

Therefore, without hesitation, and without fear, he passed through the black mist.

"Are you still so impulsive and don't think about the consequences at all? But thank you."

Eric, who was following him, shook his head, restraining his slight smile.

Then, his sight carried endless ice and snow, piercing through the dark space.
