Chapter 370 “Even to survive to tomorrow, I have to rely on charity from others.”
On the way back to the spaceship, Yu Hui and [Kai] passed by the open space for refugees to rest.
Cathartic wails and low sobs were intertwined, and their faces looked helpless.
Yu Hui's interest had just dropped after he had finished confronting the queen: "It's really a difficult time for the people."
Amid the whining, a young and crisp voice caught the attention of Yu Hui and [Kai].
On a blanket, a young girl asked her mother:
"Why can't I go to school tomorrow? I still want to learn to draw."
She looked to be about eight years old, her arms were bruised, but she still had a smile on her face.
In contrast, although her mother looked injured, her expression was dejected:
"Like our family, the school was destroyed by those evil monsters."
"But don't worry, the Ultra Warriors and Queen Amaterasu will protect us."
Beria's shadow appeared: "Remove 'and Queen Amaterasu', that guy is a trash who can only do bad things."
Seeing Beria coming over, the girl's mother smiled flatteringly, and the little girl boldly asked:
"Uncle Ultra Warrior, can I become a great painter in the future? I want to paint the Tree of Life well."
[Kai] squatted down, looked at each other, and said softly:
"Well, you are so diligent and studious, you can definitely do it."
Beria is very real:
"How do I know? I haven't seen your paintings, but now is not the time for leisure."
"Dr. Talent and his minions are still nearby. The crisis has not been resolved yet, and you are still in danger."
"The most important thing to consider now is how to survive, right?"
Yuhui knocked his head: "Hey, don't break the child's illusion of a bright future."
Beria said: "There is a possibility of sudden death at any time. This is not the time to daydream."
He looked at Yuhui and asked:
"Do you really want to bring the Tree of Life back to Ganon? In that case, the flames of war will also be brought back, right?"
"Even if we kill Dr. Genius, there will still be other evil people targeting that tree."
"There is an old saying on Earth that goes, 'Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.' The people here simply don't have the ability to save the tree of life."
"What if we leave in the future and the enemies that are attracted kill them?"
Yuhui nodded seriously: "This is indeed a problem."
The little girl said timidly: "But, I really want to draw the tree of life properly."
Beria said in an impatient tone:
"What's the point of telling us? Just talk to that idiot queen of ours."
"She has the strength but is unwilling to fight. She will only surrender to the enemy."
The little girl's mother was startled and immediately held her tightly in her arms.
She apologized to the three of them cautiously, saying that the children were not sensible and asked them not to take it seriously.
[Kai] said: "It doesn't matter, she is just trying to pursue her dream."
He felt very uncomfortable now, and his expression was extremely complicated.
He became an Ultra Warrior, but his ideal was still far away from him.
At this time, Jagula walked out from the side:
"Hey, why are you so embarrassed? Can't you see this?"
"Then you should really become a wedding officiant, so that you can witness happiness and beauty every day."
"The spaceship has been charged, and it's time for us to set off."
Seeing [Kai]'s gloomy face, Jagula patted him on the shoulder:
"What's wrong? When you were in the rescue team, did you rarely see this kind of thing?"
"For the weak ethnic groups, even the qualification to survive to tomorrow depends on charity from others."
"So we must pursue power. With stronger power, we can prevent tragedies from happening."
The little girl whose eyes were full of energy just now will be a little dull now.
It was probably the conflict between ideals and reality that made her understand the concept of "compromising with reality" prematurely.
She whispered: "Then I have no power, so I can't realize my dream?"
Yu Hui, who was about to leave, stiffened.
Fragmented memories of the past were like galloping wild horses running through his mind.
………………
"Mom, the school's football team is recruiting people. They look so handsome. I want to go, too."
"Why don't you play football when you are sick? Just take good care of yourself."
………………
"Dad, the school is going on an autumn trip to the crater next week. Can I bring my camera there?"
"Can you climb a mountain with your body? What if you fall behind and get lost? Don't cause trouble to others."
………………
"I really can't continue going to school..."
"You're always lying on the desk. It's so inappropriate. You should take good care of your health first."
………………
Beria felt Yuhui's ups and downs of mind: "What are you thinking about?"
Yuhui looked at the blue halo on the back of his right hand:
"Because of my health, when I was a child, I couldn't do many things I wanted to do."
"The students in the class have bought snacks and are all looking forward to the spring outing on Friday with great interest."
"But I could only sit in the last row in a daze, looking at them with envy."
"It was the same in high school. Everyone was studying hard and imagined that college life would be easy."
"But at that time, it was difficult for me to even walk."
"At that time, I felt that the world probably hated me."
Beria said: "Do you still remember these unpleasant things, so you can't completely let go."
Yu Hui was noncommittal and continued:
"Just when I was desperate for life and about to give up, a hero appeared in front of me."
"Regedo gave me strength and saved me, who was weak."
"So I want to be like him and give other weak people the courage and hope to live."
He looked at Jagula and corrected what he just said: "It's not charity, it's protection."
Jagula: "Huh?"
The blue-purple shield was held in Yuhui's hand, and he activated the ability of the Shield of Order to heal the little girl's injuries.
The little girl's facial lines relaxed: "It's so warm. My right hand doesn't hurt anymore."
Yu Hui said: "Well, as long as it doesn't hurt. It doesn't matter if you don't have the strength, as long as I have it."
He stared at the Shield of Order in his hand: "As long as the enemy cannot break through this shield, the people protected by me and Beria, no matter how strong or weak, can live with a smile."
He said to the little girl:
"Your dream can definitely come true."
"When you grow up, you will not only be able to draw the tree of life, but also the wonderful new world."
[Kai] and Jagula listened in rapt attention, while the little girl asked curiously: "A new world?"
Yu Hui nodded: "Well, that is a world where weak people can live happily and pursue their dreams."
The little girl smiled: "Then I must draw it beautifully."
"It's agreed." Yu Hui touched her head gently, then stood up to leave.
[Kai] quickly followed: "Mr. Yuhui, the new world you mentioned is exactly the world in my ideal world."
Jakula's face was full of melancholy: "Does an era where weak people can live happily really exist?"
Yuhui took them to the spaceship: "There is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road."
