Then Kirino Makoto discovered that the other party had a much better life than him. Not only did he have a spacious residence, he could live a good life without working hard, and he was accompanied by a beautiful female star. The most important thing was that he
There was no need to hide his differences from the people around him, which filled his heart with envy and even jealousy.
In the past, there was no comparison, so he could live a peaceful and ordinary life with peace of mind. But now, he knows that people like him live very different lives.
It's like growing up in the same village and graduating from the same school. But when you were still a worker, the other person was already a billionaire. Who can not be envious? Who can not be jealous?
Therefore, after Kirino Makoto returned, his heart could no longer calm down. Unfairness is not terrible. What is terrible is that he discovered the unfairness. Therefore, he no longer feels that his current life is very good. He can't help but wonder: Why is he like this?
?Why can he do this?
Is it just because he has the power of Ultraman?
No one is willing to be ordinary, no one wants to be worshiped by thousands of people, and loved by countless people, but most people have to be ordinary.
Therefore, he took a video of Chiba Makoto's transformation and wanted to reveal it to the world. He wanted to know what would happen if the people around him discovered that Chiba Makoto was different?
Do you think you are also a monster, so you are afraid and rejected?
There is also a bit of unspeakable malice buried deep in his heart: If the girl he can only look up to his whole life finds out, will he leave?
But when he was thinking about how to expose this video without involving himself, a mechanical island floated in the universe, and the terrifying robot arrived. After Tiga destroyed the mechanical island by self-destruction, Kirino Makoto hesitated
, the already packaged video tape was taken out of the mailbox, but it has not been sent yet.
Because Kirino Makoto discovered that this power brings not only glory, but also endless suffering.
After that, he deliberately did not pay attention to Tiga, trying to treat him as air so that he could return to his peaceful life in the past. However, in this era of frequent monsters, from official media to self-media, Ultraman is eternal.
Topic.
Even if you don't watch TV or surf the Internet, people around you will talk about Ultraman just like they used to talk about national affairs, and talk about what they heard from nowhere, such as the arrival of Ultraman and the awakening of monsters, which sounds like rumors.
topic.
Until finally, Kirino Makoto could no longer stand the torture in his heart and took a huge risk to see Chiba Makoto. He didn’t know why he did this, but he just wanted to do it, maybe because he had suppressed himself for so long.
Want to be a little wild?
Now, he asked Chiba Makoto, who was just like him, why he fought desperately: not only because he had the strength to do something, but also to protect the people he loved.
And he has neither of these two reasons.
When he was very young, adults used facts to tell him that his strange power would only attract prying eyes and bring him misfortune; his withdrawn personality and subconscious avoidance of getting too close to others made him unable to even have a good friend.
No, let alone the one I love.
Therefore, after hearing these two reasons, Kirino Makoto just wanted to laugh, not only to laugh at himself, but also to laugh at Chiba Makoto. He turned around, looked directly at Chiba Makoto, whose forehead was covered with sweat beads, and said: "You
As mentioned before, many people hope to have the ability to predict where and when monsters will appear, but humans are still envious of Ultraman Tiga's powerful power.
But they also just want to have Tiga's powerful power, and don't want the pain caused by fighting. Similarly, they don't want a miserable life like me.
This ability that is different from ordinary people is basically a curse. The more I see, the faster I sink. For me, the greatest happiness is ignorance. If you don’t know, you won’t be afraid."
Speaking of the latter part, Kirino Makoto lowered his head and lowered his voice. There was no longer any smile on his face, only deep fear remained.
Anyone who is suddenly tapped on the shoulder while walking on the road will be startled, but Kirino Makoto is faced with the possibility of seeing terrifying monsters at any time, destroying cities wantonly and massacring humans.
Most people have nightmares when they see monsters on TV or in newspapers, but Kirino Makoto watches 100% realistic virtual reality images time and time again.
"With the power of Ultraman, you can destroy monsters and protect humans, but I can only watch and can't do anything." Kirino repeated what he said when he met Chiba Makoto for the first time in the morning, but
But there is one more sentence: "I don't dare to do anything."
As he spoke, he strode towards the stairwell. When he passed by Chiba Makoto, he left a sentence: "So fate is really unfair."
Chiba Makoto didn't stop him, nor did he say anything. He just stood there, listening to Kirino Makoto's footsteps disappearing. He didn't let out a deep sigh until he couldn't hear them anymore.
Before, he was still thinking about whether he could cooperate with Kirino Makio, but now he has given up on this idea and understands why Kirino Makio is still so poor even though he has super powers.
Because he was unwilling and did not dare to use his superpowers, he tried his best to appear ordinary. No matter how ordinary he was, he was afraid that someone would find out that the 'clairvoyant boy' in the past was him, and thus attract prying eyes.
Ordinary life is a luxury.
Chiba Makoto suddenly felt that Kirino Makoto's words were quite correct. Power that is different from ordinary people makes those who don't have it enviable, and makes those who have it suffer. It is simply a curse.
He went downstairs with a heavy heart. A car drove over and stopped beside him. Maya turned her head and was about to say something when she saw the right arm that Chiba Cheng had been holding and asked in a panic:
"Are you injured? Go to the hospital quickly."
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, just apply some medicine." Chiba Cheng said and got on the passenger seat, then opened the passenger compartment, took out the first aid kit, pulled up his sleeves, and wiped it on the quilt.
Burned right wrist.
Maya drove the car and looked around with her peripheral vision. She saw the burn on Chiba Cheng's right wrist. She felt extremely distressed, but she pursed her lips and said nothing. She had seen more serious injuries. In comparison, this was really
It's just a minor injury.
The black car gradually moved away, and finally merged into the traffic. It was only then that Kirino Makoto, who was hiding on the corner of the street, came out, stared blankly at the direction Chiba Makoto left, and said to himself: "Really
I envy you very much."
After saying that, he walked to the subway station with a gloomy look, preparing to return to his residence in the suburbs. But behind him, on the trash can in the alley, a dirty toy raccoon sat there, looking at the distance with soybean eyes.
