Zongman: Hong Kong's black ceiling but autistic, what should I do?

At night, the soldiers felt their long-lost health and vitality again because of the arrival of Yosano Akiko, and they gathered in groups of three or four in the camp to chat and talk about everything.

"Hey, did you see that little girl today?"

"Oh, that's the one with yellow hair..."

"Yes, that's her. Her face looks so cute, but her clothes are all covered in blood, and blood is still dripping all the way. She looks like a devil with an angel's face."

"Oh, I saw it too, the one with the big corporal."

"Is it like what's written in the novel, that the little girl I picked up on the battlefield eventually became my wife?"

"No, buddy, what kind of novel are you reading? It's so perverted!"

"Ah? After the protagonist picked up the heroine on the battlefield, he became a blacksmith after the war. The little girl can become the protagonist's hammer, and the protagonist treats his blacksmith hammer like his wife. What's perverted about that?"

"..."

"...I'm sorry. My bad."

"??? What kind of novel is this?"

"Donkey? Where can I find a donkey? A donkey that can pull goods or a donkey that can be eaten?"

"Hey, I've seen her on the battlefield. Don't underestimate her because she's young and cute. She's definitely the god of death that was born on Chang'an Island because of the war! I saw with my own eyes that when she passed by the enemy, the enemy suddenly died. If this isn't the god of death, then what is she?"

"Shouldn't the Grim Reaper kill everyone? Why is he only killing the enemies?"

"Is it not good to kill the enemy?"

"Hey, I seem to have seen him on the battlefield, but he disappeared in an instant. If someone hadn't asked me to fill out a questionnaire when I came back, I would have thought it was an illusion!"

"I've filled out the questionnaire, but why don't they pay me for filling out the questionnaire? Damn it! I didn't expect that I'd meet someone who'd just filled out the questionnaire for free. It's fine if you give me supplies or even one yen. I won't be picky!"

"I want to eat meat. The donkeys are here. When will the donkey meat be distributed?"

"Can this good thing be given to you? The people above must have kept it for themselves!"

...

Yamaguchi Yota and Tachihara Masaaki sat by the fire, listening to the conversations of the people around them. Except for a few people who barged in, it seemed that quite a few people had seen that "girl".

"Is the girl they are talking about the one you mentioned?" Yamaguchi Yota looked at Tachihara Masaaki, the firelight flickering on Tachihara Masaaki's face.

"It should be. It looks like it was brought by Corporal Otaka." Tachihara Masaaki responded.

"Daiko, I remember... is this the man from that fat and big-eared Minister Fujiwara who came to inspect last time?"

Tachihara Masaaki nodded and said worriedly: "That girl... is there really such a small girl who can chop off the enemy's head so neatly and hold an adult male's hand behind his back? Is it a supernatural power? But isn't it too cruel..."

"Be optimistic, Masaaki! Maybe that girl is a new type of artificial robot, specially used to deal with the [Superpower War]~" Yamaguchi Yota fantasized wildly.

【Superpower War】, a war involving people with superpowers.

Because people with special abilities have abilities that ordinary people don't have, such as telekinesis, flight, clairvoyance, and precognition... There are countless special abilities in the world, and the only constant is the difference between people with special abilities and ordinary people. Sending people with special abilities to the battlefield makes the already crisis-ridden battlefield even more dangerous. Even powerful people with special abilities can die from the siege of people with special abilities, let alone ordinary people.

The [superpower war] invented by European powers is changing the concept of war, and countries around the world are also actively looking for ways to deal with it.

"That's great, Masaaki, at least you have special abilities~" Yamaguchi Yota said to Masaaki Ibara with envy.

"I can only manipulate metal to some extent. It won't be of much use on the battlefield. A psychic like me is not as powerful as you think..."

Tachihara Masaaki raised his head and looked at the night which was almost unchanged from when he first arrived at Changan Island. He felt the smell of gunpowder mixed in the air and his thoughts gradually returned to the time before he came to Changan Island.

...

Tachihara House

"Ding Dong--" Someone rang the doorbell of Liyuan's house.

Tachihara Masaaki opened the door and saw Yamaguchi Yota's parents standing at the door with several bundles in their hands.

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Tachihara Masaaki greeted politely.

"Hello, hello, Masaaki..." Yamaguchi Yota's parents looked at Tachihara Masaaki and responded a little awkwardly.

"Uncle and aunt, you are looking for me, is there anything wrong with Yang Tai?"

Yamaguchi Yota's parents looked at each other, and finally it was Yamaguchi Yota's father who spoke: "Zhengqiu, we came here to ask you about the application..."

Tachihara Masaaki looked at Yamaguchi Yōta's parents, and doubts grew in his heart. He slowly spoke, "The war on the front line is intense. I heard that they have recently selected qualified people for forced conscription. Could it be that Yōta..."

Before Tachihara Masaaki finished speaking, he saw Yamaguchi Yota's parents kneel down with a plop. Yamaguchi Yota's mother cried and begged Tachihara Masaaki:

"Zhengqiu, please save Yang Tai. Yang Tai was chosen. We used all our connections but couldn't get Yang Tai to stay. You grew up together. You know that with Yang Tai's personality, he will never be able to come back after he goes to the battlefield. Auntie knows that you have special abilities. Please stay with Yang Tai. Auntie can guarantee that you and Yang Tai can join the same team. Please save Yang Tai. We can give you whatever you want!"

As they spoke, Yamaguchi Yota's parents untied the bags on their backs and placed them on the ground. Inside were all the largest denomination Japanese yen notes.

"Auntie, please stop doing this, put the money away..."

"Masaaki, uncle and aunt have watched you and Yota grow up. You and Yota have a good relationship and have been playing together since childhood. As long as you are willing to save Yota, uncle and aunt are willing to do anything... " As they spoke, Yamaguchi Yota's parents began to kowtow to Tachihara Masaaki.

"Please, save our Yangta... Please..."

Masaaki Tachihara recalled every detail of his life with Yamaguchi Yota from childhood to adulthood. Looking at Yamaguchi's parents, who had always been very kind to him, now constantly kowtowing to him, he felt that the people he had always been familiar with had become unusually strange at this moment.

"Brother? What's that noise outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Tachihara Masaaki's younger brother, Tachihara Michizo, was awakened by the sound at the door and walked out of the room.

"Brother? Uncle and aunt...what are you doing?"

Michizo Tachihara was shocked to see Uncle and Aunt Yamaguchi, who had always been very kind to him and his brother, crying and kowtowing to his brother. His brother did not try to stop Uncle and Aunt Yamaguchi, but stood aside with a gloomy face.

"Daozao, you go back first." Tachihara Masaaki said to Lihara Daozao with a sullen face.

Frightened by his brother's increasingly terrifying expression, Tachihara Michizo took a step back in fear and obediently returned to his room.

After closing the door, Tachihara Michizo slid down with his back against the door, tears of fear streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably.

On the other side of the door, Tachihara Masaaki was silent for a moment, looking at Yamaguchi Yota's parents, whose foreheads were already bleeding from their constant kowtows. Finally, he sighed and said, "Uncle and aunt, please get up..."

"Zhengqiu, you are a superpower, and now only you can save Yang Tai. If you don't agree, we will keep kowtow to you!"

It was clearly a request, but Tachihara Masaaki heard it as a threat.

"...Uncle Yamaguchi, Aunt Yamaguchi, although I have special abilities, they are just better than nothing and can't play any role. The biggest use of them may be to perform a telekinetic spoon bending..."

Yamaguchi Yota's parents turned a deaf ear and continued to kowtow desperately.

Tachihara Masaaki looked at the two elders lying on the ground with numb eyes and sighed.

"But," said Tachihara Masaaki, "Yota and I grew up together, and I won't watch him die. I didn't tell you just now because I was afraid that uncle and aunt would worry. In fact, I was also chosen..."

...

Tachihara Masaaki couldn't remember clearly what the expressions of Uncle Yamaguchi and Aunt Yamaguchi were after he revealed that he was also selected. Were they surprised? Regretful? Or...feeling lucky?

However, Masaaki Tachihara never resented Uncle Yamaguchi and Aunt Yamaguchi. He could understand the concerns of parents for their children. If his younger brother was going to do something dangerous, Masaaki Tachihara would definitely look for help everywhere. As long as his brother's safety could be guaranteed, he would do it no matter by coercion or inducement.

Seeing that Yamaguchi Yōta was still imagining that he had the ability to destroy the world, his silly grin was exactly the same as when he first met him when he enlisted in the army.

"Hey, Zhengqiu, you were chosen too! Ever since I knew I was chosen, I didn't dare to tell you, for fear that you would be sad if you knew. Did you notice that I deliberately distanced myself from you during that period? I was deliberately... what's that called... lowering your favorability? I've been playing games so much lately that I've forgotten how to speak normally. Well, forget it~ I thought that after I leave, you won't be too sad when you find out I'm gone. But you didn't even tell me that you were chosen, so I was worried that you would find out that I was hiding it from you! That's great, we can act together again, haha..."

...

Stupid Youta.
