1093 The dialogue between father and daughter, to become a hero!
~Date:~October 28~
,nbsp;It would be weird if there wasn’t…!
Lin Luo sighed secretly. Although Ling Meng concealed it well, the moment she turned around, Lin Luo still caught the flash of despair and sadness in her eyes.
It’s not that Lin Luo has never seen this kind of look, or it can be said that he has seen it a lot... Once, when Misaka Mikoto wanted to save the Misaka sisters but was unable to save them, it was this look. When Tohsaka Rin recalled the passing
They also had this look in their eyes when they were their parents. When Arturia faced Lily's Knights of the Round Table, she still had this look in her eyes. When Nakamura Yuri recounted how her three younger siblings were killed by bandits, she still had this look in her eyes.
With such eyes.
He knows better than anyone what that look means, and he knows better than anyone what kind of shouts and cries are hidden in his heart under that look.
So in an instant, Lin Luo understood what kind of sad soul was hidden under Lingmeng's heartless mask, and how much he missed Lingmeng's attitude of "rejecting people thousands of miles away"
Looking at that person, even if I know that it is destined to be just a luxury wish, I still want to see him again... the ancestors of the miko!
Coming to the corridor and sitting down cross-legged, Lin Luo slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to be able to see, in this small shrine, a witch holding the hand of a little girl, laughing happily while walking, and then
Still in this shrine, the little girl sat alone in the corridor, looking at the stone steps opposite, shedding tears while waiting for the miko who was destined to never return, feeling desolate and lonely.
Opening his eyes, Luo's face was filled with a wry smile, but there was a hint of relief in that wry smile, "The weight on my shoulders is heavy again, but... I have one more reason to decide to do it."
Reimu, who walked into the kitchen, did not come back. Instead, she left the shrine and gradually went away, not knowing where she was going. Lin Luo did not stop her, nor did she catch up, because he knew that no matter what language she spoke, it was difficult for Reimu to
It's meaningless. Among the things she needs, there is absolutely no option for comfort!
"Father." The clear voice of the girl came to his ears. While Lin Luo was in a daze, at some point, Ming Meng had opened the door of the compartment and looked over.
Lin Luo turned around, smiled slightly, and waved to her, "Come over here."
Ming Meng smiled and ran up immediately. When she ran to Lin Luo, Lin Luo picked her up and put her on his legs, then hugged her body and asked: "Where were you just now?"
Already?"
"Playing in the house." Ming Meng replied with a smile.
"Have you had lunch?"
"Not hungry." Ming Meng shook her head. Then she raised her head and asked, "Where is father?"
"Well. I'm not hungry either." Lin Luo touched her head with a smile on his face. He was actually very troubled. Although he had already decided how to choose between the Great Barrier and the Witch, he knew that the choice was not just
It's just an end, but a beginning, and even this beginning is likely to put everyone in absolute danger. Therefore, although he has made a decision, he still cannot completely let go of his hands and feet to do it.
He seemed to feel that he was standing on the cusp of the storm. If he was not careful, he would fall to pieces. Of course, those who were connected to him would also fall to pieces.
He knew that such a mentality was very bad, but he couldn't control it. He really couldn't calm himself down completely. Only at this moment, holding the little guy in his arms, he finally felt a moment of warmth and peace...
Because when he was with Ming Meng, he didn't need to think too much.
"Now, don't call me father anymore, call me daddy." Lin Luo said.
"Why?" Ming Meng asked curiously.
"...I don't know, maybe I just want to be myself again."
"Change back to yourself?" Ming Meng tilted her head, her face full of confusion, "Isn't the father now the father?"
"Of course that's not what you mean..." Lin Luo felt a little funny, but didn't know how to explain it, so she had to say, "When you call mom, do you call her mother?"
"No, just call me mom."
"That's okay, you can call me daddy from now on."
"Oh." Ming Meng seemed to understand, and nodded obediently.
"Dad, mom ran out alone just now. What did she do?" After a while, Ming Meng asked again. Children always have more topics to talk about.
"Probably a walk."
"Aren't we going?"
"Well, if we don't go, we'll just stay here."
"Why? I feel that my mother is not in a good mood. If we also go together, my mother will probably be happier."
"Well...how do I put this? Everyone has their own secrets, and they also have a side that they don't want to be seen by anyone, even if it is the person closest to them, so we just need to wait here.
"
"Why?" Ming Meng tilted her head and thought for a while, still a little confused.
Regarding Ming Meng's sudden transformation into a hundred thousand whys, Lin Luo was very patient. He touched her head and said with a smile, "You may not understand these things now, but you will gradually understand them when you grow up."
"Oh." Ming Meng nodded, as if she already understood, but it could still be seen from her bright eyes that she didn't understand at all.
Ming Meng is a very smart child. What she has learned through what she has seen and heard is something that many adults cannot understand. But after all, she is only a two-year-old child. The human heart is the most complicated thing.
Even the smartest person in the world can't completely see through this thing, let alone her.
Ming Meng didn't understand, and naturally she wouldn't go into trouble. After a short silence, she quickly found another topic and said to Lin Luo: "Dad, thank you."
"Huh?" This time, Lin Luo was confused by her, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Because dad kept the promise and allowed mom to wake up again, he is a real hero." Ming Meng raised her little face and said innocently, and then kissed Lin Luo on the face with a squeak.
"Well!"
Lin Luo was slightly startled, not because of Ming Meng's sudden display of intimacy, but because of the word hero.
When Lingmeng died suddenly, in order to comfort Mingmeng and encourage himself, he did tell Mingmeng that he was a hero, so he could definitely save Lingmeng, but... he knew that he was not anything
A hero, never has been.
Back in the Demonic Forbidden World, he fought Accelerator to save Misaka's sisters. After winning, he became a hero in the hearts of his sisters. But only he knew that he had no choice but to fight, because if he didn't
If he takes action, Mikoto will be in danger. If something happens to Mikoto, he won't live long... To put it bluntly, everything he did was essentially for himself, although he did save many people.
And then there is the Xingyue world, the weapon race world, the magic teacher world... He also saved many people and became a hero in the hearts of many people, but he knew that he was not a hero because... Saved Some people are not at any risk and just do it casually, while other people are involved in their own safety. If they don't save it, they themselves will be in danger.
One is to stand in a safe area to save, which is charity; the other is to stand in a dangerous area to save, which is self-protection... How can such behavior be considered a hero?
No matter how much he deceives himself and others, he can't hide his ostentation and purpose.
Of course, in the Fourth God War, he sacrificed his life to save everyone. At that moment, he truly became everyone's hero, but... sacrificing some people to save others is not salvation at all. , even if the person who sacrificed is himself!
He just freed himself, but left his sorrow to the living. Such a selfish act...
Hero, I am far from worthy of such a title... Lin Luo secretly laughed at himself.
But Ming Meng said that he is the real hero.
Perhaps in Ming Meng's heart, the meaning of the word hero is very simple, just because she has done something she could not do, but these innocent words also represent her deepest expectations.
"Ming Meng." Lin Luo spoke.
"Um?"
"What kind of person do you think a hero is?" Lin Luo asked
"The person who makes everyone happy." Ming Meng said without hesitation, looking at Lin Luo with the eyes of a hero, full of respect and admiration.
"Everyone can be happy...but what if this hero's behavior puts everyone in danger?"
"It doesn't matter, because if it's dad, he will definitely succeed." Ming Meng's innocent tone was full of seriousness.
"Haha." Lin Luo smiled, a little helpless, and a little free and easy. The dream equated him with the hero. If such a big hat was knocked down, he really had no way out.
If he continues to hesitate, then he will fail Ming Meng's expectations. If he cannot become a hero, then he will betray Ming Meng's trust... This is unforgivable.
"I'm so impressed with you!" Lin Luo laughed loudly, picked up Ming Meng and put it next to him, while he stood up from the corridor.
"Dad?" Ming Meng tilted her head, somewhat confused about Lin Luo's sudden move.
"You wait here for mom to come back, I'll leave first." Lin Luo told her, and after saying that, he stepped forward.
"Where are you going, dad?" Ming Meng stood there and asked loudly.
Lin Luo kept walking forward without looking back or hesitating. With a confident and calm smile on his face, he slowly stretched out his right hand, pointed at the sky, and said in an extremely firm tone.
