Chapter 312 “Why do you have to get approval from others?”

Where do I come from?Where are you going?
The "Children of the Curse" don't know where they came from. They only know that they have been living in the ruins for as long as they can remember.

But they knew where they were going: death.

That is probably the final destination of all living things.

Some of the Cursed Children began to wonder: What is the point of living?Are you really alive now?
There is also a very important question: Can the Cursed Child have a future?Can we get respect and equality?

Lan Yuan Yanzhu was thinking, and the little girl lying on the bed was also thinking.

But with little education, they could not find the answers to their questions.

Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko couldn't explain clearly either.

The four girls from Item were too lazy to care about this kind of thing.

When Bai Ye came back, it was not yet evening.

Just as he was opening an extra room at the front desk of the hotel, Umi Aoi also arrived.

"Owner."

The girl seemed very ashamed: "I'm sorry, I couldn't complete the task."

"...The reason?"

"Wrong mission target selected."

Usaimei glanced at the people around her, then leaned close to Bai Ye and whispered: "That Holy Emperor is just a puppet. I thought I could get a lot of information by her side, but it turned out..."

The following words were not spoken, but Bai Ye could completely understand what she meant.

No valuable information can be obtained...

It's not a big deal, Bai Ye doesn't care.

If he really needs that information, he can collect it himself, which not only saves time and effort, but also makes the collected information more comprehensive and true.

But it was also true that the task was not completed well, so Bai Ye directly handed her the room key he just got.

"Just wait in the room tonight and I will 'punish' you well."

"……Yes."

Umi Aya, who understood the implication of his words, agreed obediently.

……

After letting Umi Aya go back to her room to rest, Byakuya walked into Misaka Mikoto's room.

All four girls are there.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu and the little girl were also there.

After saying hello to the girls, Bai Ye walked to the bed and sat down under the curious eyes of Lan Yuan Yanzhu. He had to check the injured girl's body.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu was probably not a patient girl, so she quickly couldn't help but ask: "Um, can you answer my doubts?"

"What doubt?"

“What are we going to do to get everyone’s approval?”

Lan Yuan Yanzhu raised his own question.

After hearing this, Bai Ye turned to look at her, half-smiling but not smiling: "Why do you have to get other people's approval?"

Instead of answering, he asked instead, which stunned Lan Yuan Yanzhu for a moment.

Think carefully, and then give an uncertain answer: "Because only in this way can we live a normal life."

"I see."

Bai Ye nodded as if he suddenly understood.

He looked back at the little girl lying on the bed, touched her little head and smiled at her, before answering Lan Yuan Yanzhu's question.

"Then I'll tell you the truth, with the way you are doing it now, you will never get their approval."

"……why?"

Lan Yuan Yanzhu clenched her fists and stared at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye still didn't answer directly, but asked the question again: "Why do they disagree with you?"

"...Because we are the 'cursed children' and have the element of gasterozoa in our body, we will become gastrea, and gasterozoa are existences that destroy cities and kill many people."

"The gastrea destroys the city and kills people. What does this have to do with you?"

"...it doesn't matter."

"Yes, it doesn't matter. You know this, I know it, and they all know it, so why don't they agree with you?"

"..." Bai Ye raised this question again.

This time Lan Yuan Yanzhu did not answer, but was silent and thinking.

Misaka Mikoto and the others are also thinking.

Bai Ye lifted the quilt and found that the little girl was still undressed, just wrapped in a bandage.

The original clothes were dirty and torn.

Misaka Mikoto bought her new clothes, but there was no need to wear them yet.

Bai Ye started to help her remove the bandage.

"For many things, we cannot just look at the surface. We have to look for deeper reasons, and there is often more than one reason."

"...For example?"

"For example, some people deliberately guide public opinion and guide people's thoughts, turning hatred of the cursed children into mainstream thoughts; for example, the people who lost their loved ones in the disaster caused by gastral animals are incompetent and furious. They cannot deal with the gastral animals and they can only fight against you. These little girls take out their anger on themselves.”

Having said this, Bai Ye chuckled mockingly: "It's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong."

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is easy to understand.

So Lan Yuan Yanzhu didn't pay attention to this, but grasped the previous statement: "You mean, someone is deliberately targeting us, the children of the curse, and deliberately leading the people to discriminate and hate us?"

"As I said, don't analyze the problem in isolation. It is indeed true that someone deliberately guided it, but it is also because there is such a basis of public opinion that the current situation has been formed."

"...Why, why do they do this?"

"Because of personal preferences, because of hatred, because of interests, and various other reasons. In short, this social issue is very complex, and I really don't want to say more."

After removing the bandage, Bai Ye carefully inspected the wounds on the little girl's body.

The vitality of the cursed child is very tenacious, and the vitality of this little girl is even stronger than the average cursed child.

Not sure what type of gastrula factor she has.

A tenacious animal...

There are many, so I won’t talk about them for now.

Not only do they have strong vitality, but they also don’t get sick.

Bai Ye knows this.

The reason why those little girls who got wet in the rain were asked to change their clothes was of course...

Hey hey hey~.

Of course I would take the opportunity to give them new clothes.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu continued to ask: "Who is leading the people to hate us?"

"There are many, for example, Tendo Kiku no Cheng."

"Tiantong..."

Aoihara Yanju opened her eyes wide when she heard the name.

She knows this person.

Tendo Kiku no Cheng is the assistant officer of the Holy Emperor and the highest authority besides the Holy Emperor.

He is the head of the Tendo clan.

He is the adoptive father of Satomi Rentaro.

He is also the grandfather of Tendo Kisara.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu never expected that the matter would be related to this person, so it was a bit unbelievable.

"Really, really?"

"Ten years ago, his wife died in the Gastrea War. Since then, he has hated Gastrea and the Children of the Curse; if you don't believe it, you can check it out yourself. I think you should be able to find out the truth easily."

"..."

Bai Ye seemed to have something in his words.

But Lan Yuan Yanzhu didn't think much. Instead, she bit her lip and lowered her head, frowning and her eyes flickering.

Byakuya asked Saten Ruiko to help apply the medicine, while he stood up and looked at Aihara Enju.

"It's not just him, there are many people. Among the people in power, the only one who is friendly to you is probably the Holy Emperor. But that girl is basically a puppet and can't do anything at all. So as long as those people are there and as long as the rules are made by those people , you will never be recognized. No matter what you do or how much you pay, they are just tools and consumables in their eyes."

"?!"
