BA, I just want to save the world

"Well, that kind of thing should be considered by adults. It's an adult matter." Mo Lu nodded in agreement, "Children just need to trust their own judgment. There's no need to force themselves to mature."

"Don't talk like you're so powerful! You're just an outsider!" Hoshino glared at him with gritted teeth and raised his voice unconsciously: "...What if I'm betrayed again and put my senior in danger again?"

"Hoshino-chan will definitely come to save me then, right?" Meng was not affected by her atmosphere at all. Instead, she responded with a tone of utmost trust.

These words full of trust instantly extinguished Hoshino's dissatisfaction. He murmured dejectedly like a frost-bitten eggplant: "Well... I will..."

Although he felt a little reluctant, he didn't seem that reluctant, and couldn't betray his expectation of fun, so Mo Lu couldn't help but take a photo and intervened again with a smile:

"Don't worry about it. If something like that really happens, I will help you."

"....I didn't say that!"

"what?"

"——Just be more careful!" Hoshino stepped forward and stared at him fiercely, "Don't stay by my side and say irresponsible things, okay?"

"I have always intended to be responsible for my words and actions?"

"I have already taught a lesson to the person who tricked Senior Meng into working for me, but there was also someone who cheated Senior out of 3150 Union Coins earlier. I have never found that person. Could you help me get the money back?"

"3 United Coins...?"

Why does this number sound so familiar? Could it be that among the villains that the kid just mentioned... there is also me? ——This number is too unique and impressive, making Mo Lu's face suddenly become strange.

Meng, who knew the truth, also had a strange look on his face, as if he had something to hide.

Chapter 8 The villain is not the villain, it’s actually me!

The two people who knew the truth looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Xingye did not fail to notice their strangeness. He stared at Mo Lu with his strange eyes, approaching him and asking:

"What? Why don't you say anything? You can't do it? If you can't do it, don't talk nonsense here!"

"...No, wait a moment." Mo Lu fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out the cash and put it in Xingye's hand: "Here, 3150... Please check."

"Ha, ha? What do you mean?" Hoshino stared blankly at the money in his hand... The next moment his cute face was twisted with anger: "-- Do you think that just giving me some money to fool me is the meaning? I asked you to take the money from the villain who deceived your senior..."

"This is."

"Do you understand what I mean? I mean! This money is different!" Xingye seemed to be greatly insulted and pushed the money back directly: "Although we are poor, we will never accept charity from others! We just want the money that was cheated away!"

"So this is..."

"No! Did you listen to anyone?"

"You may not believe it, but this is really..."

"——Are you kidding me!?"

Faced with his stubborn affirmation, Hoshino frowned and had an icy expression on his face that made the hair on your head stand on end.

But at this moment, Meng once again put his hand on her shoulder and said carefully:

"...Is this true? Hoshino-chan."

"Even the seniors are saying this kind of thing???" Hoshino pursed his lips in anger, unable to resist the urge to condemn him once again.

Although the atmosphere was a bit bad at this time, Mo Lu still said with an awkward but polite smile: "...Tell me, is there a possibility?"

"——What are you going to do now? Just tell me what you want to say!"

"The person who borrowed money from classmate Meng was none other than me, just by chance?"

"Huh?" Xingye was stunned for a while before he slowly spoke: "............what does it mean?"

"The villain you are talking about is not actually a villain, but me?"

"...Really?" Hoshino was silent for a moment, then picked up the shotgun beside him, pulled the slide back to the bottom to load the chamber, and showed his hostile anger without hiding it. He looked up and asked, "Do you have any last words?"

"You actually pulled out a gun right away?" Mo Lu was dumbfounded: "Can't you wait a moment! Let me explain?"

"....Anyway, there are children and stuff, so it must be a lie, right? What else is there to explain?"

"But I really do!"

"Do you think I would trust an adult like you?"

"You are too hostile to adults! Have a little trust in people! Violence can't solve any problems!"

Facing this angry girl, Mo Lu felt that he might really be in trouble.

While trying to persuade him, he couldn't help thinking, is it the only way to use the method taught by Prana, using the high-dimensional "cards" to stimulate the aura, using the same combat techniques as the "Numerology" from the "outside world" to subdue this kid... Otherwise, it would not be fun to die again.

Xingye couldn't understand what he was thinking, but he also realized what he seemed to want to do, and squinted his eyes unconsciously: "Then tell me, how can we solve the problem?"

"How about...we sit down calmly and let you praise me for an hour?"

"...I see. Is this your last words?"

"——I can praise you, too!"

The approaching shotgun muzzle made him quickly raise his hands and offer better conditions.

There was no way out. Being hostile to the group and facing the dramatic situation made him feel helpless and he could only try to ease the atmosphere.

It's a pity that Xingye has no sense of humor. His eyes are still frighteningly cold, so Meng quickly stands in front of him:

"Hoshino-chan, calm down for a moment, maybe it's true."

"Senior, please get out of the way! Let me teach this guy a lesson!"

"He has no aura! It will kill people!"

"Then use the butt of the gun to solve the problem!"

"Don't do this~!" Meng hugged her directly, pressed her against his chest, and covered her face, as if he was going to apply a set of facial cleanser directly, as if he wanted to suffocate the child.

When Mo Lu saw this scene, he didn't know who to envy for a moment.

"Ah, no, I'm a teacher... I can't think of such weird things. What should I do at this time... well, what should I do at this time?" He shook his head vigorously, putting the strange thoughts behind him, and then he started to have a headache about how to deal with the current problem.

This was somewhat indifferent, and there was no sense of tension at all, which almost made Meng cry: "——Should we run away immediately?!"

"But if I run away like this, won't I be misunderstood even more seriously?"

“Is now the time to consider this?”

"Of course, if there is a problem, it must be solved on the spot. This is my principle. And compared to this..."

"what?"

"I felt like she was suffocating."

“Eh? —Ah! No, are you okay? Hoshino-chan!”

..........

Coming back to his senses, Meng realized that Hoshino was no longer struggling, and was nervously shaking the girl in his arms.

But fortunately, the Kivotos people were not so easy to kill. Hoshino, who was just temporarily deprived of oxygen, let her shake while staring at Mo Lu silently when he came to his senses. It seemed that he had listened to their conversation and somewhat believed that he was not really deceiving Meng.

If it was really a deception, he could have taken the opportunity to escape. But now he is still staying... He must be really confident that he can explain it clearly, right?

It was just her distrust of adults and her deep-rooted prejudice that made her expression so complicated that it was hard to describe. She seemed conflicted and troubled... but it was undoubtedly a dark expression.

But even so, she slowly put down her weapon: "For now, I'll trust you and take us to see it. If it's a lie, I can..."

"I never lie to anyone... at least not to students. After all, I used to be a teacher."

"Huh, who knows." Hoshino was reserved about him and signaled him with his eyes to lead the way.

Mo Lu shrugged his shoulders and took a step forward in a cooperative manner.

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly thought of something and turned back subconsciously. He looked at the two beautiful girls in swimsuits and said thoughtfully, "I say..."

"What? What excuse are you trying to come up with?"

"No, I just think..." He looked at the two girls' swimsuits and couldn't help but give a normal person's advice: "If you cross the city like this, isn't it a bit unsightly?"

““——? ””

The moment these words were spoken, the fair faces of the two girls turned red at an alarming speed.

Because it was not until now that they came to their senses and remembered that they were still wearing swimsuits.

Chapter 9: Hoshino Schrödinger's Shame

With her attention returned, Meng instinctively covered her chest out of shame as a young girl, squatted on the ground and screamed: "--Don't, don't look at it!"

Xingye also covered his chest and glared at him angrily: "——How long do you want to see this?! Turn around quickly!"

"Ah....Okay."

Facing Hoshino, who was more excited than in a dream, he just glanced at him silently. There was no big difference between covering and not covering, and there was nothing exposed on his face. He shook his head nonchalantly and turned his back.

He didn't even understand what was so embarrassing about wearing such a swimsuit, or rather, swimsuits were meant to be seen by others, so why should he be shy?

However, Xingye noticed his gaze and asked suspiciously, "Wait a minute... is that your eyes?"

"Nothing?"

"You're lying! You look down on me!"

"Ha..." He sighed slightly, sorted out his feelings, and turned around with a warm smile to look at the "ordinary" lolita girl, praising her: "I really think you are a cute girl, yo?"

"——So! What kind of look was that!" Hoshino, blushing, bit his teeth hard, looking like he was about to bite someone.

"A caring look?"

"Then why are you looking at me like that?!"

"Nothing, why do you always have a strange prejudice against me?" He spread his hands helplessly. This was obviously an excuse, which made Xingye silent for a while. He suddenly looked at Meng: "....Senior, can I be angry now?"

"Don't be like this..." Meng smiled bitterly, not knowing how to persuade her.

Mo Lu was also a little distressed about how to get along with this child, but if he wanted to be peaceful... he really had to wait until the misunderstanding was resolved first, right?

...........................

Next to the original sand pit.

The two girls began to take turns changing clothes in the deep pit in the desert Gobi.

But when Mengxian went in to change his clothes, Xingye stared at him with a warning, not allowing him to approach the sand pit, and couldn't help asking:

"Are you really raising a child? Or do you not know him at all?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"If that's the case, why would you borrow money from someone you don't know?"

"Because it's hard to find a job here, is there anything you can do about it?"

"The strong never complain about the environment!"

"The strong do not complain about the environment, but I am a weak person. Not only do I complain about the environment, I also complain about the strong."

His matter-of-fact remarks made Xingye at a loss for words for a moment. After a long while, he glared at him angrily: "How unmanly... No, adults are all shameless people like you."

"...I'm just admitting my weakness, what's wrong with that?"

"You are absolutely lying."

"What aspect?"

"If you are not a strong person, you can't carry a burden when you are weak. It is the privilege of the strong to be able to take care of others. Otherwise... you are just a simple fool."

Based on his past life experience, Hoshino made such a judgment.

This made Mo Lu understand why she suddenly said something like "strong people don't complain about the environment". Did she regard her behavior as a sign of being strong?

This made him shake his head in frustration, and he couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case... then what about classmate Meng?"

"Senior Meng is indeed a nosy fool, but that is just immature behavior. You are an adult, it is normal for you not to do such a thing."

"There's no need for you to act as if everyone in this world is a bad person, right?" His firm attitude made him unable to help but reach out and pat Hoshino on the head.

Without any surprise, his hand was slapped away in an instant, and Hoshino was still grinning with an expression as if he was about to bite someone.

"I can probably understand now. You must have been deceived by adults before. But don't stop trusting others so quickly. Otherwise, life will be very difficult, okay?"
