...but that smile didn't last long.

Maki felt that life was slowly draining from her body.Her eyes were constantly darkened, and she couldn't hear the sounds around her clearly.

There was only a hazy noise, as if she was at the bottom of the sea at a depth of [-] nautical miles.

She turned her head, and vaguely among the crowd in the distance, she saw a figure in a ginger sweater and a low hat.

Maki inexplicably felt that person was a little familiar.

Someone around shouted: "Where is the enemy who injured this girl? Why can't I see others?"

"The one who was here just now—" The person next to him turned his head in a panic, "Did he escape?"

Ivan took advantage of the chaos and ran to Lifa's side.

With trembling lips, he said, "It's not my fault this time, somehow our actions have been exposed—"

He paused, then turned his head stiffly: "Lifa?"

Lifa was turning her head to look behind her.He looked at the girl who was hugged by Nakaya and whose khaki school uniform was completely dyed red, and said to himself expressionlessly: "Hero."

He immediately sneered and didn't know who it was for.

Ivan called him again.He turned his head impatiently, gave Ivan a cold look, and said softly, "Let's go."

Maki slowly closed his eyes.

She could feel that because of this action of hers, the heart holding her trembled even more.

She also heard him calling her name loudly.

The girl's slender eyelashes fluttered inconspicuously.

She thought, she couldn't sleep here.

After all, if you fall asleep, you will definitely have to read the file again when you wake up.

So, in order to cheer herself up, she said to the system: "Si Si, tell me a story."

System: [What does the host want to hear? 】

Maki: "Anything, interesting is best."

System: [That April Four has begun. 】

【Once upon a time, there was a pair of brothers in a certain village.The elder brother is handsome but has a mean personality, and the younger brother is not as good-looking as the elder brother, but he is more kind. 】

[One day, my younger brother was found dead at home.Everyone in the village thought it was my brother who did it—they reported the case in grief and sent him to prison. 】

[Until a few years later, a detective came to this small village.It was only then that people discovered that it was their parents who killed the younger brother. 】

Maki asked, "Why?"

The system said coldly: [Because when the brothers were born, a fortuneteller told their parents that they were cursed and could not appear in this world.That's why he thought of killing his younger brother and then framing his elder brother and letting him die in prison. 】

【It wasn’t until the truth came to light that the elder brother was released and wept bitterly—people realized that it was actually the elder brother that the parents wanted to kill at first, and the younger brother chose to die himself in order to let the elder brother live longer. 】

Maki didn't know what to say: "...Hey."

Maki: "You are not some kind of Grimm's fairy tale remake? Why are you so dark."

System: [It's the host himself who said anything is fine. 】

Maki didn't say much anymore.During the period of listening to the story, she could feel that her wound had been bandaged, and the rate of blood loss seemed not to be so fast.

There seemed to be the sound of an ambulance in the distance.

She felt that Chuuya turned her head happily, and then asked Osamu Dazai to help carry her up.

She sighed in relief, then let herself lose consciousness.

*****

Maki felt like she was falling again.

This time the fall took longer.She felt the wind whistling past her ears.She didn't know how long she fell before she finally stopped.

When Maki opened her eyes, she found herself standing in an empty place.

She wanted to turn her head to look around, but found that she couldn't control her body.

Maki panicked, she called the system: "Four four?"

The system did not respond.

Before Maki could do anything, she noticed her, or her body moving by itself.

Maki realized that he was not in an open space.

She lowered her head, and saw a somewhat rough tombstone in front of her eyes.It is the kind that is common in the hometown of Huahua, and the material is probably some cheap stone.

However, when she saw the whole picture of the tombstone, she suddenly froze for a moment.

...The name written on it is "Ji Bin".

her father.

Maki blinked in bewilderment.What's the matter?In her impression, her father should have been alive and well until the crossing.

She froze for a moment, then quickly looked down at the tombstone.

The date on the tombstone is odd - the year is 2009.

When she was 15 years old.

Many people came from behind.Many of them looked somewhat like her or her father—they wore dark clothes, some with white cloth belts.The women came up to shake her hand, while the men patted her on the shoulder.

Their voices were buzzing, but Maki could hear them clearly for some reason.

"This child is so pitiful... He's only in the third grade of junior high school, and his parents are gone."

"Who knew that kind of thing would happen. Dad is a firefighter, so he didn't know that his corridor would catch fire."

"Have the houses burned down? I'm afraid there will be no place to live in the future."

"What should I do in the future? Send it to an orphanage? Anyway, my family definitely doesn't have much money to support—"

Maki was even more confused.What the hell are they talking about?What is on fire?There was nothing like that in her memory—

She paused.

She recalled the fear of fire that seemed to be etched in her bones.

——Maki remembered.

It was her 15th birthday.She was used to her father working overtime. She bought herself a cake and prepared to celebrate her birthday.

Then there was a gas explosion in one of the rooms a few floors below—and the flames engulfed the entire building in an instant.

She was rescued by her father desperately.After pushing her out of the fire, her father fell into the fire due to exhaustion.

……

Maki wondered in confusion, why would she forget?

This kind of thing, such an important thing - besides, in the beginning, she completed the task of the system purely to go home and see her father again.

But now even if I can go back, I can't see it anymore.Her father died long ago when she was 15 years old, and she also changed from the cheerful and laughing child a long time ago to being kicked around like a ball by relatives. She finally finished college without making any friends. The indifference of time for her.

Maki sat blankly for a while, then called the system again: "Four four."

This time the system answered her, saying, "Four Four is here."

Maki: "Why do I forget these things, is it related to you?"

The system said: [Yes. 】

Without waiting for Shinji to react, it said again: [However, as the host knows, April [-] cannot do what the host does not want. 】

Maki was stunned.

So maybe she herself has been trying to forget about it.

After all, as long as this matter is still in her memory, she will dream back countless times in the middle of the night and blame herself for killing her father.

Although it wasn't her fault.

Maki didn't say any more.

She closed her eyes in confusion—if she didn't have this goal, why would she still be a hero?Just because you don't want to let yourself die?

She didn't figure out the answer to this question until she fell into darkness again.

*****

Maki was awakened by a soft conversation.

It seemed to be a woman's voice, very kind: "Excuse me, then we will come back in two days—"

The woman paused, and exclaimed in surprise: "Miss Dazai seems to have moved just now!"

Zhenji struggled to open his eyes, and saw the woman whose life he had saved took the child by the hand and threw herself in front of her.

She is lying on a hospital bed.The wound did not know when it healed, and Maki guessed that Yosano Akiko had been there before.

She looked up and saw Chuuya at a glance.The orange-haired man looked a bit decadent, and his clothes weren't even tucked in neatly.

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Maki."

Maki nodded weakly at him, then turned around and looked at the woman suspiciously.

The woman was talking non-stop to her: "We will come to see you every two days, just want to thank you as soon as possible, if it wasn't for Miss Dazai, Junya and I don't know what's going on now— —”

She turned her head and pulled the person standing behind her: "Ren Sanlang, you also come to thank me."

Maki looked up, it was probably the woman's husband, he looked like a simple and honest man, he was touching his head and smiling at her.

Maki blinked.

Zhong also seemed to have noticed something, and said in a low voice: "Except for you, the most serious injury suffered by tourists in the amusement park is just a sprained foot."

"Thanks to you, Maki."

Maki slowly closed her eyes.

Maybe, she thought, that would be all right.

She understood a little bit why her father regarded saving lives as a happy thing.Because it is indeed joyful.

She thought of the amusement park before the file was reverted, the scene like a disaster movie, and the peaceful situation where nothing happened now.

For the first time when Maki came to this world, he had a goal in his heart.

——She wants to be a hero, and then protect the people she wants to protect, and save the people she can save.

Now this goal is not difficult for her - she has already got the card management, as long as she goes to Xiongying to pass the special recruitment test in a few days, everything will be ready.

Maki suddenly paused.She noticed a certain word in the woman's words before - "every two days".

She opened her eyes suddenly, and asked Zhongye hoarsely, "How long have I been in a coma?"

Zhong also remained silent.

Maki's heart skipped a beat.She asked again: "Mr. Chuya, I'm fine, just tell me."

Chuya hesitated for a while before hesitatingly said: "After the lady from the Butei Club treated you, you still didn't wake up. The doctor said that your body consumed a lot of energy for some reason. At that time, we thought that You're going to be a vegetable."

"You've been lying here for half a month."

Maki opened her eyes slightly.

The day they went to the amusement park was in mid-July, and Xiongying's special exam happened to be on August [-]st.

Sure enough, Chuya's next sentence was: "Xiongying's exam has passed—just three days ago."

He knelt down and rubbed her head: "Sorry, Maki."

The author has something to say:

The physical condition is not very good these two days, plus Calvin, the explosion that was promised has not exploded, I am sorry, old man QWQ

In order to compensate everyone, I will start tomorrow for a period of time. I will think about the timing of the update. I will write it in the copy after the update tomorrow.
