Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 892 The girl who loves to dream
"Lax, tell me. Why can't Youde choose to escape, but must choose to face reality!?"

Lei Mengmeng's question made Lacus stunned, and her tone was slightly hesitant: "Because, Youde is..."

Before Lacus finished speaking, Lei Mengmeng arrived first: "Because he is the director of this research institute? He has the responsibility to cheer up and lead everyone?"

"Or is it because he is our boyfriend? Obliged to cheer up and protect us from the wind and rain?"

Lacus: "..."

Lei Mengmeng shook her head, and sighed, "Lax, you are a human being with virtue..."

"Maybe it's the strength he showed when he appeared in front of you, which gave you a sense of security and at the same time gave you some illusion."

"It is true that Youde is powerful, but his strength is only based on his combat effectiveness."

"In addition to being different from ordinary people in combat, Youde is also an ordinary person in terms of emotions."

"Youde, like ordinary people, is a person who is afraid and wants to escape because of cowardice."

In Lei Mengmeng's mind, a picture of a chat with Wang Liumei before emerged.

—Screen flashback—

Lei Mengmeng showed off: "Aren't you amazing? Handsome? When Youde rescued me, he was like a god descending from the earth, so handsome. I feel like I'll never forget it in my life~!"

Wang Liumei laughed and said, "Oh? Really? I saw him so scared that his legs became weak and trembling non-stop, and he couldn't even stand still. I don't think so."

Lei Mengmeng's expression froze: "Huh?"

While stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, Wang Liumei recalled: "When he learned that you ran near the base where the Dimensional Beast appeared, his expression was full of fear and terror. I can't forget it until now."

"That kind of look that you can't control yourself because of fear and fear, but you want to force yourself. It's just like an embarrassing child who wants to show off, but finds that he can't do it at all."

"If you look at the unforgettable aspect, then I guess he will never forget the look he was so anxious to cry because of worry and fear at that time."

Lei Mengmeng lowered her head, looked at the coffee in the cup, and was silent for a long time before asking: "Then...why did Youde come to me in the end?"

Wang Liumei pointed her cheek with her finger: "I remember, it was that girl Amano Amari who encouraged him."

Lei Mengmeng raised her head suddenly: "Azhenli?"

While stirring the coffee, Wang Liumei supported her cheek with one hand, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "Yes, that girl in Yazhenli is also a child who loves to dream."

"Obviously Youde is already scared to death, the kind who can't even stand still."

"As a result, Yazhenli actually encouraged Youde to become a hero."

Lei Mengmeng was slightly stunned: "Hero!?"

Wang Liumei smiled lightly and said: "That's right, it's a hero. Just like you, that girl Yazhenli seems to be a silly girl who likes to have a loved one save herself in times of crisis in the way of a world-class hero." .”

"She expressed her expectations in one go."

"In the end, Youde cheered up ridiculously because of his words. He gave himself a mouthful."

As she spoke, Wang Liumei laughed out loud and kept shaking her head: "That slap at that time was so loud, just listening to the sound made me feel toothache."

"However, maybe it was Yazhenli's simple dream that gave him courage?"

"After that slap, Youde finally has the confidence to find you."

"In a sense, the three of you, together, are really a good match."

"Two girls who love to dream, and a fool who risked his life regardless to make your dreams come true."

"You guys get together, maybe it's not by chance, maybe it's some kind of inevitability..."

—Flashback ends—

Lei Mengmeng looked up at the sky and said in a low voice.

"For a long time, all of you have been attracted by Youde's powerful fighting power. And then you forgot that he is actually a person who can fear and escape."

"He is not a god who can bring us to settle any situation, but an ordinary person like us."

"Perhaps, it's the many secrets that we can't explore on his body, but that make us curious, so that all of us have an illusion."

"An illusion that no matter what happens, as long as you find Youde, he has a way to solve it..."

"But...among all of us, perhaps only Yazhenli knows what the real him is like."

"He has always been relying on the courage given by Yazhenli, and he may not be able to fight..."

Lei Mengmeng turned her head again and looked at Lacus.

"Now, Azali is gone."

"How much he was hit, no one knows."

"We don't even know whether he still has the courage to face the more brutal battles in the future."

"Maybe for us, for this country, for this world, he will still choose to fight."

"But since he is worthy of everyone in public, why should we force him to face things he doesn't want to face in private?"

"He is virtuous, but he is not a perfect man..."

"Even, in essence, he is also an ordinary person who would choose to escape because of fear."

As she spoke, Lei Mengmeng turned around and said to herself.

"In the beginning, it was because of me that forced him to embark on a path he didn't want to take at the beginning."

"If it wasn't for me, he might not have become the captain and captain that everyone relies on today. Instead, he would become an otaku player who stays away from war and death and only likes playing games?"

"I don't know whether the current path is what he expected, whether it is really what he wants."

"But I know that because of me, he became what he is now."

"So, now I don't want to force him."

"If he wants to escape, let him escape."

"There's nothing wrong with that, and he has the right to escape."

"Because it was me who made him what he is now."

"So, I'll take care of everything for him before he chooses to run away and get back on his feet."

As she spoke, Lei Mengmeng turned slightly and squinted at Lacus.

"Lax, I know Youde dotes on you very much, and I also know that you were raised like a princess when you were young."

"But I still want to tell you, don't be too spoiled."

"When you want to rely on your own will to change others, you must also make your own decisions and bear the possible costs of being changed by the changed person."

"Do you have the consciousness to assume certain risks that may arise after changing your personal will?"
