Author: Chief Scientist of the Kingdom of Light

Earth

At night, under the stars, on the roof of the farmhouse, Jonathan, who was slowly entering his old age, sent his most sincere condolences to his adopted son who had been missing for a long time but had finally returned home.

Hearing this, Jero shook his head and subconsciously said, "It's nothing, Dad."

The breeze blew the white hair on Jonathan's temples. He looked at Jello. He knew without guessing that Jello had suffered a lot outside.

"You guys are just like Clark. You like to keep some things in your mind, as if you can solve everything."

"..."

Hearing this, Jero felt a little silent. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back. Those difficult battles finally turned into a sentence that sounded easy.

"Although those things are a bit difficult to deal with, you can win by gritting your teeth."

Hearing this, Jonathan glanced at Jero and said, "I know you don't want me to worry. Dad is old and can't help you and Clark. All I can say is, no matter what, just do your best. We are in the metropolis."

I have also seen those things on TV. Several times, your mother and I were very worried that you would be hurt."

"No, dad, I am very strong. I can defeat an army now and defeat aliens."

In order to dispel Jonathan's worries, Jero smiled and made a fist gesture.

"Don't come here." Jonathan looked at Jello's clenched fist and smiled, then put his hand on Jello's shoulder and said solemnly:

"No matter what, in the eyes of Martha and I, you and Clark are our children. As long as we are alive for one day, we can't help but worry about you. This is something that only parents can feel. You haven't yet

Understand, you will understand later."

"..." Jero was speechless for a moment.

A long time ago, before traveling to the DC world, Jero had heard similar words of concern.

Even if the world changes, this most sincere feeling remains unchanged.

"Just do what you can, Jero. Sometimes, if you encounter a villain you still can't defeat, don't blame yourself. If you can't win, you can't win. As long as you try your best, it's enough. No matter when, Ma and I

Shadu is proud of you."

Jonathan patted Jello on the shoulder and said something long and wordy to Jello.

Not dissing Jonathan for being verbose, Jero wiped away the tears that had not completely flowed out of his eyes with his sleeves, choked a few times, and said:

"dad……"

"I have always known your hard work." Jonathan continued to say to Jero, "But sometimes experiencing heartache and suffering is also a very important time. In order to have a good harvest, it is a day when rain is needed for irrigation, so a lot of sweat has been shed

After weeping, we will surely have a good harvest."

"It's a very good idea, Dad, tell me the truth, how long have you been thinking about this?" Jero suddenly became garrulous.

"Huh, you kid." Jonathan smiled, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I didn't think about it for that long. I only thought about it before dinner. I was still worried that you wouldn't give me a chance to speak."

"I know what you mean, dad, but sometimes, I can't give up the fight and think 'this is enough'." Jero replied.

Having said this, Jero's heart was full of mixed feelings, and all kinds of emotions were surging in his heart.

"But you are not God, you are not almighty." Jonathan said with a smile. This small-town farmer who had worked hard for most of his life said something very meaningful.

"Save everything you can, but don't give up easily in the process, you know what I mean, Jero."

Jero nodded and answered Jonathan in the most solemn tone, "I understand, father, I will fight with this feeling, I will save everything I can save, and I will become stronger until I become the person who brings joy to the universe.

The last brave man of peace!”

"The last brave man who brings peace to the universe? Hahaha, what a great dream. Dad hopes to see this scene one day."

When Jonathan heard about Jero's huge dream, he didn't think Jello was too ambitious. As a father, he just wanted to give his children the most sincere expectations.

At this time, it was getting colder. Although Jero couldn't feel it, Jonathan was obviously shivering. He stood up from the roof while holding his waist and said:

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, so I'll go down first. If you want to stay up here for a while, just stay up there for a while. Anyway, I can't keep up with my old bones."

"Let me help you." Jero stood up quickly, fearing that Jonathan would be injured.

"I'm not as old as you think." Jonathan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, but in the end he returned to the ground with Jero's help.

After the father and son had their heart-to-heart talk, they went back to their rooms to rest. All four of them had a good rest that night.

After that, Jello stayed in the small town of Smallville for another two days. He helped Martha repair the TV and home appliances, adjusted all the farm tools at home, and milked the cows. After finishing many things, Jello finally

Back to the metropolis.

Returning to the metropolis again, breathing the not-so-fresh air, Jero, who came to the metropolis on a Greyhound bus, was waiting for Clark.

A blue car stopped in front of Jello. Clark, who was sitting in the driver's seat, rolled down the window. He unlocked the door and motioned for Jello to get in. After Jello got in the car, he said to Jello:

"Come up, Jero, I'll take you to the apartment. I gave up the garage where you lived before, and I rented a new apartment for you."

"Apartment? The monthly rent is a lot, right?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jero asked Clark.

"It's okay. I recently received a large amount of royalties. The apartment is for a short period of time. After you finish taking the SAT in May and report with the university admission notice, the lease period of the apartment will be up."

Clark said as he drove the car.

"All right."

After hearing what Clark said, Jero gave up his doubts.

Soon after, Clark drove Jello to the downstairs of an apartment building. After handing Jello a set of keys, Clark hurriedly expressed that he was leaving.

"I won't send you up. Just remember it's A301. I'll help you put your things in there. There's still something to do at the newspaper office, so I'll leave first."

Seeing Clark's appearance, Jero knew something. He took the keys and got out of the car, and said something to Clark before leaving.

"I'm afraid it's not work, but a date, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Clark blushed, quickly rolled up the car window, stepped on the accelerator and left Jero's sight.

After Clark left, Jero walked into the apartment building alone. He found A301, took out the key and was about to open it, but a voice stopped him.

"Long time no see, Jero-san."
