Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder

Everything returned to the original point.

"Am I once again experiencing the constraints of identity on personal freedom?"

With a bitter smile, Mei's tone was full of sadness and helplessness.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Just as she was at a loss, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Lei Yi, a baby-faced maid in a black and white maid outfit with a bandaged right hand.

"Gui'an, eldest miss, how did you rest last night?" Seeing Mei, Lei Yi immediately bowed and saluted, greeting with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's okay." Mei nodded, and put away the sadness in her eyes without a trace, "What's the matter with you coming to see me? Lei Yi..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei turned her eyes and continued to ask: "Could it be that His Royal Highness Sheng Tianzi sent the commission? Do you need me, the guard, to go to work?"

"No, miss, the emperor is still handling government affairs in the holy residence." Lei Yi shook his head, his smile unchanged.

Hearing this, the joy that had just risen in Mei's heart was extinguished in an instant.

"Really? Then there's no need to go. The Holy House is too big, too quiet, like a cage. I really don't like it."

"Miss..." Lei opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words obediently.

Although she agrees with what her eldest lady said in her heart, the holy residence is a holy residence after all. As a place where the head of state handles government affairs, it is definitely the most sacred place in the hearts of people in the entire Tokyo area. It is not that she, a little maid, can discussed and evaluated.

Sometimes "disaster comes from the mouth" is the truth. If you can't control your mouth, you will only bring disaster to yourself.

My own eldest lady has a noble status, so naturally she doesn't need to care about these things, but she, Lei Yi, can't.

Seemingly feeling Lei Yi's difficulty, Mei smiled awkwardly, then waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it. What is the reason you came to see me this time? Lei Yi."

Knowing that his young lady cared about his own feelings, Lei Yi felt warm and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, miss. Lei Yi came to you this time mainly because of Miss Mayfair yesterday."

"Fei'er?" Thinking of the poor white-haired girl, Mei's eyes could not help flashing a trace of pity, "What's the matter with her? Could it be that she encountered difficulties? But didn't I tell you yesterday to do your best to help them?"

"No, miss, she didn't encounter any difficulties, and Lei Yi also followed your request yesterday." Lei Yi shook his head.

"What is that... By the way, I forgot to ask you last night, what is the situation in the outlying area where the cursed sons live? The place I went to last time with His Highness the Holy Son of Heaven seems not to be strictly speaking The outskirts of the upper…”

Mei seemed to think of something, and frowned slightly.

Meeting Mei's gaze, Lei Yi also seemed to remember something, his face was a little pale.

"It's very bad, miss. The outer area of ​​the Tokyo area is simply in ruins. The environment is even worse than Lei Yi imagined. There are almost no houses on the ground that can be used to shelter from the wind and rain and live in. Those children are basically live in the sewer..."

"Sewer..." Mei's complexion is not very good now.

"That's right, miss. Those children live in the sewers used by those new energy factories to discharge sewage, and they regard it as a place for daily life, whether it's eating or sleeping..."

Ray nodded, then seemed to think of something.

"By the way, miss, there are adults taking care of them."

"Who?" Mei asked subconsciously.

"It's a middle-aged man surnamed Matsuzaki. He seems to be very gentle and intelligent. He treats those children very well and is called an 'elder' by those children," Lei Yi replied with a smile.

"Really? That's good." Mei nodded, her complexion a little better.

"..."

"Then..." After being silent for a while, Mei continued to look at Lei Yi, "What did you want to say before? Tell me, Lei Yi."

"Oh, yes, Missy." Lei nodded, recovering from yesterday's memory.

"Actually, before Lei Yi left the outlying area yesterday, Miss Fei'er asked Lei Yi to tell the eldest lady."

"What?"

"Miss Fei'er said that after she settles the matter in the outer area, she will bring her younger sister to personally thank you, Miss, and repay your kindness," Lei Yishu said with a smile.

"Really?" Hearing this, Mei seems to have thought of that scene, with a faint smile on her face.

Then, she had an idea.

Why wait until others take the risk to personally come to this unpopular inner city to thank you?Wouldn't it be better to visit by yourself?Just in time to take this opportunity to check out the rumored outlying area...

Thinking of this, Mei wiped away the unhappiness accumulated in her heart from last night to just now, and turned her whole body full of energy.

"Lei Yi, go and take out all the supplements brought by the guests in the house that the family does not eat from the warehouse, and at the same time let the servants go to the shopping mall and vegetable market to buy some children's clothes, fruit eggs, and quilts by the way and pure water!"

While talking, Mei kicked off the wooden shoes on her feet, widened the blue kimono on her body, and started to walk towards the inner room with her beautiful bare feet.

"Miss, what do you want?" Looking at the pretty back, Lei Yi slowly opened his eyes wide, as if thinking of something.

"That's right!" Mei stopped, turned her head and showed an incomparably beautiful smile, her eyes that were as gentle as water were burning with passion like fire, "I'm going to visit the outer area today!"

"Go and prepare presents! Lei Yi."

"Miss..." Looking at the figure exuding a completely different temperament from usual, Lei Yi was unknowingly infatuated.

This is my eldest lady, the most beautiful person in the world, it is a very happy thing to be by her side like this...

Thinking of this, Lei Yi also started to take steps and ran towards other houses.

At some point, the dark clouds in the sky have been cut open by the warm golden sun.

It seems that today's weather is not that bad...

Chapter 28 Chapter 27 The Confused Boy and the Racing Girl

Just as Mei was preparing to go to the outskirts, in Gouda Elementary School, the Rentaro she had been thinking of had just walked out of the principal's office.

Yanzhu's identity has been exposed, and it is obvious that he cannot continue to study here. He specially asked for another day off today, just to complete the relevant procedures for his partner.

"I don't know if Enju has sorted out her things. It's time to say goodbye to this place..." Rentaro couldn't help sighing as he walked towards the floor where Class [-] of the fifth year was thinking.

Yanzhu's status as the cursed child almost meant that no school in Tokyo would accept her.

If she wants to study, she must conceal her identity.But if it is discovered again... wouldn't it be the second "Goutian Elementary School"?

He really didn't want his partner to get hurt a second time if he could.

But what else can a ten-year-old girl do if she doesn't read books?Stay at home all day?Or is it like the starters in other police groups, living a life of wandering and licking blood on the tip of a knife every day?

No, absolutely not!

Yeonju is a normal human being!Should have a normal life!Instead of being reduced to a tool for fighting!

This is his bottom line for Rentaro.

But the reality is that Yanzhu has no place to study, and he has to read.

What should he do?

Rentaro scratched his head, looking like he was having a headache.

Even though he was distressed by this, his footsteps did not stop.

After climbing several stairs one after another, Rentaro finally came to the corner of the stairwell.

Looking to the right, the first classroom is the fifth-year class where Enju is. Rentaro remembers it clearly.

In addition to the sign on it that even a fool can understand, the more important thing is that he had personally sent Yenju into that classroom more than half a year ago.

only now...

"Don't come here again!"

"You lied to us!"

……

The unique childish voice of a child resounded from the classroom and echoed in the silent corridor, the tone of which was mostly anger and panic.

"Could it be..."

As if thinking of something, Rentaro's heart sank, and he walked slowly along the place where the voice came from.

really.

In the classroom of Class [-], such a dramatic scene is happening at this time:

About forty tatami-sized classrooms seem to form a "court".

There were nearly [-] children in the whole class. At some point, they formed a circle with their desks and chairs close to the window, forming a "plaintiff's seat".

And the defendant's "prisoner" was sitting on that lonely seat, at the dot of the "circle".

She straightened her back, folded her hands on the desk, raised her head and looked at the blackboard without squinting, with the appearance of a top student, letting those criticisms come from all directions like a wave.

"Enju..." Seeing the petite figure drowned in saliva, Rentaro outside the classroom almost cried out in grief.

"Damn Gastrea! It's all because of you that my parents..."

"Miss Ben is human!"

……

Even though the "plaintiff" has various reasons and various statements, and keeps uttering bad words, the "prisoner" sitting in the "defendee's seat" only repeats this sentence.

I am human...

This sentence was taught to her by himself.

Whenever someone insults and discriminates against his partner's status in front of him, Rentaro will always say this to refute.

"Yeonju is a human! Not a monster!"

"Yanju is a human being! Not a tool in your mouth!"

...and so on.

But now, that petite figure can only use this sentence to justify and comfort herself... But even so, these words, together with herself, seem very small in the surrounding condemnation, like a boat about to sink in a tsunami .

Looking at those distorted immature faces, waves of unspeakable anger and a trace of loss rose in Rentaro's heart.

From the faces of these children, you can see how their families are educated; and from the education of these families, you can see the big from the small, and get a glimpse of the entire society today.

Obviously, it was very ugly, so ugly that it made Rentaro feel chills.

Is it these people who the police have been protecting all this time?

Such people, such a society, such a world...is it really worth fighting for?

He didn't know, didn't want to know, and didn't dare to think about what would happen if he violated all of this.

I am just a person, even if I add Yanzhu, I am still pitifully small in front of the whole world.

They are so weak, even if they resist, what can they do?

A sense of powerlessness poured out from the bottom of his heart, making Rentaro feel tightness in his chest.

At the same time, the colic in his heart turned into anger under the stimulation of powerlessness, urging him to take a step forward.

"Enju..." Not paying attention to those strange eyes, Rentaro came to the side of the "prisoner" with a gloomy face, "Let's go, let's change to another school."

Hearing his words, Yanzhu couldn't bear it any longer, lay down on the table, and said in a choked tone: "Ms. Ben...doesn't want...to admit defeat...Obviously, I have made so many friends..."

In the past, at this table, she Aihara Enju was also surrounded by these classmates, but at that time they still had innocent and pure smiles on their faces.

Everyone was discussing cartoons, today's bento, and gossip on campus...

What a wonderful school life.

But all of this is because of his identity as the cursed son, and he has become what he is now.

She is unwilling, she does not want to, but she will never go back.

Looking around at the vigilant elementary school students, Rentaro shook his head expressionlessly, and shattered her dream.

"They...are not your friends anymore."

"Even so..." Yanzhu raised her head, the tears on her face were still wet, "Even so...do we still have to fight? For this city..."

"That's right." Rentaro nodded, with an almost dead expression on his face.

At the same time, as if feeling something in his heart, he turned his head and looked out the window.

There, a white-painted rescue helicopter was slowly landing.

Yes, even if there is no hope in the future, they still have to continue fighting.
