Later, Might Of The Jungle and Red Fist Of Death, as the first two heroes to launch the rescue operation, were also interviewed by the media.

Then, Kano and Midaya Dehisa were reprimanded by the police. The reprimand was centered around their "impulsiveness" and "recklessness".

In the end, the two were finally able to escape.

"It's finally over." Midaya Dehisa let out a long sigh of relief.

"Yeah." His ears were about to grow calluses from the nagging.

When they were being "educated", the two maintained a kneeling posture. After such a long time, their legs were inevitably numb. Therefore, Midaya Dehisa staggered when he stood up. Kano immediately reached out and held his arm.

"Ah, thank you!

Kano -kun. "The young man pulled his arm back and looked embarrassed.

"Just call me Kano."

"Mhmm!

… Speaking of which, after Ormet defeated the enemy, Xiao Sheng and I were both unconscious for a while … Only Kano was awake. I heard that you braved the rain to help me pick up my backpack and put it back … Thank you very much! "

"It's okay, it's just a small matter within my ability."

Midaya Dehisa's hands tightened on the straps of his backpack. He looked like he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

From the beginning, she noticed that he seemed to have something to say to her, but he was hesitating. Kano was not in a hurry. She quietly waited for him to organize his thoughts.

"Kano -kun." After a long silence, Dehisa finally could not help but speak. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he made another mistake.

"I said, just call me Kano." Kano calmly corrected him.

"I understand …!

That … Kano, at that time, what you said to that girl … "His hands tightened on the straps of his backpack," Was it sincere? "

However, Dehisa did not mention which sentence she said. Perhaps it was because he was nervous that he let it slip.

After recalling the short conversation between herself and the girl, Kano could roughly guess which sentence Dehisa was referring to. She asked tentatively, "Could it be … that sentence I said to her, 'You can be a hero'?"

Midaya Dehisa nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Of course it was sincere." Kano was a little helpless, "Do I look like someone who likes to lie?"

"Of course not!"

Midaya Dehisa repeatedly waved his hand, "It's just that … Most people now know that the possibility of awakening a personality after the age of four is very low … That girl … It's very difficult for her to have a personality."

"And at that time, in order to fulfill her wish, you lied that you were Zoldyck … So, I thought that when you told her that she could become a hero, it might have been a white lie to appease her."

… Your guess is, Your Guess. "

"Eh?" The teenager's eyes widened in surprise, "But didn't you say … those were sincere words?"

"That's right."

Midaya Dehisa was confused by Kano's words.

Looking at his confused expression, Kano did not beat around the bush and frankly explained, "The reason I said that was partly to appease her emotions.

Like what you said earlier, she mistakenly thought that I was the mysterious person she looked up to. The moment I 'lied' that I was Zoldyck, she saw me as her idol. "

"A person … especially when that person is still a child, it is very easy for them to be influenced by the words of others, let alone the words of their 'idol'."

"If I told her that she couldn't become a hero, then it is very likely that this sentence would be engraved in her heart, and cause her to embark on a completely different path."

Kano lowered her head and saw a stone that had landed in front of her feet, so she kicked the stone with the tip of her foot. Following her strength, the stone rolled forward a few times and landed on the road, where it was immediately run over by the passing cars.

After seeing what happened to it, Midaya Dehisa could not help but gulp.

"That being said, I would not lie to a child who has no hope at all."

Kano gestured for Dehisa to look at the police car. There, the last bag of Sludge Monster's sticky substance was being moved up.

"… Eh?"

When he saw the small figure mixed in between the police and the hero, Midaya Dehisa was stunned, "That girl … Didn't she go back?"

"No, after she left here, she ran directly to the police car to help move it. I saw a police officer help her put away her school bag, maybe that was her relative."

Kano looked at the way the girl stretched her short arms to help and said, "When she didn't talk to me or even notice me, I noticed her.

She was mixed in with a group of heroes who were picking up the Sludge Monster's limbs and helping to carry the bag. "

"At first, she seemed to want to help pick it up.

But the Sludge Monster … Even if it was in a mess, it was still the main culprit who created the huge chaos just now, but she didn't seem to be afraid of it at all. However, the police officer I mentioned just now stopped her from picking up the sticky substance, so she could only carry the bag unwillingly. "

"She's still such a young child … Is she already so brave?" Midaya Dehisa muttered in a low voice, looking somewhat incredulous.

"Courage can't be measured by age, but she is very brave, that is the truth."

At the same time, the last bag of sticky substance was moved into the police car.

The little girl, who was saluting the police officer and the hero, was immediately at a loss when she accidentally met Kano's gaze.

It wasn't until Kano also saluted her that the girl smiled and returned the salute.

"So … Even if I know that she may not be able to awaken her personality, I still believe from the bottom of my heart that she can become a hero."

After Kano said this, she clearly heard the young man beside her let out a sigh.

Just as she turned her face to the side, she saw Midaya Dehisa's clearly dejected expression, and Kano asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing …" Dehisa, who was clearly emitting a low pressure, said in a low voice, "It's just that after I saw that little girl, I felt that I really don't have any strong points …

"Since I was young, I've set 'becoming a hero like Ormet' as my goal … But today, after witnessing his powerful strength with my own eyes, I deeply realized how slim the chances of me achieving my goal are …

"At first, I thought that even if I don't have a strong personality, I can still become a hero. But now that I think about it, what I lack is not just a strong personality …

"No courage, no specialty, no strength, no confidence … With such a person like me, let alone becoming a hero like Ormet, it's even impossible for me to become a hero …"

Faced with the young man's nagging and low pressure, Kano pondered for a moment. Just like how her brother often did to her when she was depressed, she punched his head.

"It hurts!!!" Dehisa, who was punched to the point of tears, asked in grievance, "Why did Kano suddenly hit me?"

"Because I'm afraid that you'll keep nagging until you turn evil."

“？？？”

"And …" Looking at Midaya Dehisa's teary eyes after being punched by her, Kano said seriously, "In my opinion, you, who stood out in today's chaos, are more like a hero than anyone else."

"…" Midaya Dehisa was stunned for a long time, and his face turned red.

Seeing him blushing and unable to say a complete sentence, Kano couldn't help but feel that this young man was really good at praising.

"Sooner or later, someone will discover your potential and be willing to train you. That time … may come soon."

Since the beginning, other than the "Xiao Sheng" that the young man mentioned, there was someone else who had been looking at them.

"It'll be great if that day really comes …" Although Dehisa felt that she was just comforting him, his tone became lighter after being comforted.

"By the way … it's getting late. Maybe I should go." Kano said and waved at him. "See you again if fate wills it."

"Please wait …!"

"…?

What's wrong? "

"Even though I've said thank you many times … I still can't help but want to thank you again …" The young man said and showed a shy smile. "Thank you for encouraging me and saying that I'm like a hero …"

Seeing the young man's smile, Kano reached out her hand and covered her eyes.

"It's so glaring."

"Eh!?"

After a while, Kano finally put down her hand.

Dehisa adjusted his backpack and said, "It's indeed getting late … I think I should go back."

"Then, bye."

"Okay … bye!"

After saying goodbye, the young man and girl turned in the same direction and started walking at the same time.

Then, they looked at each other in surprise.

"On … on the way?"

"Then let's go back together."

"Okay!"

…

"By the way … Kano."

“？”

"My head still hurts so much. How strong are your arms …?"
