Kamen Rider, the Mission Must Be Fulfilled!

Zheng Yi gently put down the teacup.

"Just ask whatever you want. Even if I'm not a good mentor, I'm the only one who will be a very good listener."

Upon hearing this, Matthew clenched her fists vigorously.

"It may be a relatively transcendent question, but Mr. Zheng Yi, for me now, I want to know the answer no matter what..."

"Mr. Zheng Yi, what do you think people can keep fighting for?"

Ps:

first change

Chapter 41: That is my justice

"...I see. I'm still thinking, if it's not physical factors, what is it that caused you, Mash, not to choose to go to the front line?"

Gently putting the hat on the corner of the table, Zheng Yi clasped his hands and stared seriously at Matthew who also looked serious.

Zheng Yi didn't answer Matthew's question directly, but instead asked if Matthew could still fight as a sub-servant.

The answer he got was actually very close to his previous guess.

Although he learned from Tachibana that going to the front line again would cause harm to Matthew's body, Zheng Yi understood it in a way that only the three of them would understand from the exchange of words with Sherlock Holmes and Da Vinci afterwards. Matthew's current situation.

First of all, Mash's body is very healthy, rather too healthy, fully enough to support her in any number of Servant battles without causing problems.

Secondly, the fact that Matthew is unable to fight is not nonsense.

The problem is not with the body, but with the mind.

Since Galahad, the knight of the round table who boarded on Matthew, no longer responded, although Matthew, who lost the power of Galahad's spiritual base, still has the aptitude to become a servant, if he wants to fight as a servant again and play Heroic Spirit Galahad can no longer be used as a target if he has enough combat power.

Instead, the target is Heroic Spirit Mash Kyrielight.

In other words, Matthew's mind itself is resisting the battle, and therefore cannot exert enough combat ability to go to the front line.

"I'm really sorry……"

Lowering his head, Matthew murmured.

From the young girl's point of view, her behavior itself is holding everyone back.

Obviously, there is a huge crisis that can threaten the world and human history itself. As the only master, Tachibana has once again personally experienced the adventure. Unlike the previous period when the singularity was left, he was really helpless. Now he obviously has power, but because of the confusion of the soul Not useful.

Self-blame, guilt, and unwillingness, these emotions crushed the heart of the android girl, and every time Tachibana encountered a battle, it would burn to the point of causing her the most pain.

Sometimes it is easier to collapse people's will than to be truly powerless, but unable to use it when they are clearly capable.

Holmes and little Da Vinci saw this, and sent a request to Zheng Yi for help when no one noticed.

Compared with the reversed Atalanta, the rational Avis Bron, the vengeful Salieri, and the carefree Billy, how could Mash be free to do this matter for Mash's question at this time? Zheng Yi is indeed the only one who has sufficient experience as a source of conversation and a model.

"It's not a bad thing to hate or even fear fighting, Matthew."

"It's better to say that your confusion is very correct."

"Because I'm also a person who is quite afraid of fighting."

"Hey?"

As if he didn't expect Zheng Yi to say such a thing, Matthew raised his head, the surprise on his face looked quite cute.

Regarding this, Zheng Yi just shook his head helplessly: "Don't be so surprised, before I became Kuraga, I was just an ordinary high school student."

"It's actually hard to get used to fighting. Maybe there are people who are born to fight to the death. Many great heroes in the epic are like this. As you who watched them up close, I think Matthew is probably the best Know what I'm talking about."

"Um……"

Resolute and heroic figures flashed in my mind, and Mash nodded subconsciously.

"But Matthew, who is afraid of pain, afraid of death, and even wants to stay away from the battle - such heroes also exist."

The girl's eyes widened.

What kind of person is a hero?

Having seen heroes in different eras, Matthew may be one of the most qualified to comment on heroes.

Bold, noble, fearless of life and death, able to entrust their lives for their beliefs, even if they are coughing blood, crying, and even their internal organs and bones crashing to the ground, they have to stand and do everything they decide until The moment when I completely breathed out, I was willing to stop.

These are the shining heroes in Matthew's eyes.

——Naturally, in the girl's heart, Zheng Yi also exists like this.

She will probably never forget in her life, the back figure that will inevitably appear as long as the times demand it.

But such a person is telling her here that heroes also have the type of fear of death and fear of fighting.

It seems like a fairy tale, but because of the figure of the narrator, it has a particularly powerful persuasive power.

"But……"

"I know, Matthew. You have witnessed many living legends. Almost every heroic spirit who walks the earth has a stalwart life of living to death."

"But that's not a conflict, Matthew."

Zheng Yi raised his head slightly, as if recalling something, staring at the neat ceiling of the workshop.

"Before being a hero, a hero is also a person."

"Fear of death, because if I die, who should protect the things I want to protect?"

"So I can't die."

"Fear of fighting, because once you fight, it means that you must hurt someone. It may be someone who is waiting for you to go back with tears in your face, or someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for your victory."

"So I don't want to fight if I can."

"But Matthew, Matthew."

"Sometimes it's more important to be fierce than gentle."

The softness in the expression began to fade, and the perseverance of the boy transformed into a man surged upwards. The tumbling determination and the sadness that didn't know where it came from mixed in Zheng Yi's eyebrows and eyes, and mixed into the most realistic painting in Matthew's eyes.

The name of the painting just popped into the girl's mind.

"The world is a tough and tender mother."

"When we want to protect something, it often means that we have to hurt something. People like heroes may spend their entire lives pursuing the path of protecting what they love without hurting anything, but often it goes straight to the point of bleeding. There are no bones left, and this wish has not been fulfilled."

"But even so, I still have to vomit blood and persist in this marathon that seems to have no end... This is the person who is called a hero."

"To face your fears, to be in awe of the battle, and to commit yourself to it is courage."

"After being a hero, a hero is still a human being."

"And the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage."

Plain, Zheng Yi narrated in a calm tone as if he was chatting about family affairs.

But in Matthew's ears, the serene voice was so loud that it made people's hearts tremble.

In the girl's eyes, a ray of light is getting brighter and brighter.

"What do people fight for?"

"Matthew, I can't give you an answer to this question, and you don't need to ask other people."

"Because the best problem solver is yourself from the beginning."

Looking straight into the girl's eyes, Zheng Yi saw light in those beautiful pupils.

It was rare for Zheng Yi to say such a long word, and Zheng Yi smiled lightly and took a sip of the still warm tea.

"Now, do you have any questions, Mash?"

"..."

The girl stood up and bowed deeply to Zheng Yi.

"thank you very much!"

Matthew raised his face again.

Zheng Yi nodded, drank the tea in the cup, and stood up.

"Now that you can show such a great expression, it's time for me to continue doing what I should do."

"That, that!"

However, Zheng Yi had just turned around and hadn't had time to leave before he barely walked to the electronic door, and Matthew's hesitant call came from behind him.

Zheng Yi half turned around and blinked at the girl.

It means [although you are welcome].

Matthew returned to the awkwardness he had when they first met. He looked left and right for a while, then readjusted his breathing, raised his eyes and met Zheng Yi's gaze squarely.

"Well, Mr. Zheng Yi, you haven't told me why you are willing to fight so far... You are not from our world, are you? You shouldn't have to bear these burdens..."

"Oh, I almost forgot about that."

After clapping the hat in his hand, Zheng Yi suddenly nodded.

"Forget it, maybe it can be a reference for you that is useless."

"[Call my name when you need it]."

“[No matter how far away, I will definitely go].”

"This is my agreement with Tachibana."

"As for the reason why I have fought so far..."

The man put on his hat, its brim pulled down over his eyes.

"From beginning to end, I have fought for my own justice."

He turned his back, raised his right hand, and gave a high thumbs up.

The electronic door opened to both sides, and Zheng Yi strode out.

"And abide by the agreement with Tachibana, that is my justice."
