In a corner of the gaming area, accompanied by the explosive battle music of "Collected Heroes", Explosive Hero Victorious Self and Variable Frequency Excellent were having their eighth battle of the day. No, it should be said that it was their ninth battle.

"Damn it, let's do it again!"

"Heh, noob."

"Don't use Ormet if you have the guts!"

Frequency Conversion You could not wait to tear apart this fellow's mocking face that deserved a beating. Bastard!

So what if you have Ormet?!

… Okay, it's really something.

Damn it, I want it too!

Takeshi Takeshi looked at her as if she was an idiot, but he probably felt a little bored, so he changed to another hero.

The battle started again, and Frequency Conversion Optimizer did not use Andwar. This time, it was back and forth.

Takeshi Takeshi's hands did not stop moving, and he asked in a very indifferent tone, "Do you have no personality?"

Yuu paused for a moment and was almost hit by the opponent's ultimate move. She secretly cursed this guy for doing it on purpose, but she still answered him, "No, but for some reason, I can't use it now.

Don't stare at me like I'm an idiot, be careful not to get killed by me. "

"Tsk." Takeshi lowered his head again and continued to ask, "So you said that a hero can be a hero without personality?"

He asked the same question as Kohisa.

"It's partly because of this," Yuu said calmly, "I was caught by the enemy when I was young. At that time, a hero without personality risked his life to save me."

"To me, whether he has personality or not, he is my hero."

[Whether you are a hero or not is not determined by personality.]

[You can also be a hero without personality.]

"…"

Takeshi Takeshi unconsciously stopped what he was doing and raised his head. His red eyes were full of seriousness, and he spoke calmly, which was rare for him.

"I won't change my way of thinking, because if you don't have a personality, you won't be able to defeat your enemy. A person who can't win can't be a hero."

Takeshi Takeshi had never cared about the spirit of participation like "the process is the most important". He was undoubtedly a results-oriented person. No matter what the reason was, as long as he did not win in the end, then he was undoubtedly the loser and had no other identity.

The young God's favored son's ideology was so black and white, with a clear distinction between the strong and the weak. He even subconsciously divided the people around him into ranks according to their personality. In his opinion, personality determined a person's limit, and those without personality who didn't even have the chance to climb up would naturally be at the bottom, not having the chance to enjoy the wonderful scenery at the top.

He still didn't understand that nothing was absolute, nor did he understand that martial prowess wasn't everything to a hero. Most of the time, defeating the enemy didn't mean victory. Even if one was the strongest, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

The young boy who was looking forward to becoming the strongest hero in the world only believed that he would surpass Ormet and climb to the top. All the difficulties along the way were just obstacles that he had to overcome.

However …

Pi Pi You: "But if I don't use my personality, you still can't beat me.

Ah, I've won this round. "

Taking advantage of the opponent's pause, Frequency Conversion Optimizer didn't hesitate to finish off the opponent with a few combos.

"BOOM — —!"

"Hey hey!

Stop, this is a public place! "

"Sinai!"

Yes, but now he had to blow up the obstacle on the lawn first.

— — —

Returning home with a tired face, Yuu took a shower and collapsed on the bed.

Ah, so tired.

In the end, his mother and the others arrived and suppressed the tyrannosaurus. Then, they went to eat the Mandarin Duck Hotpot together.

Because of Takeshi's provocation, the first time he ate spicy food, he challenged Qingqing City's Spicy Hotpot. In the end, he cried and admitted defeat.

Although Takeshi was good at eating spicy food because of his family's taste, he was still young and it was his first time eating the Spicy Hotpot. So after Yuu admitted defeat, he immediately poured a glass of ice water.

After realizing that the opponent was just pretending to be calm, Frequency Conversion Optimizer impulsively shouted for another round. Takeshi Takeshi certainly wouldn't back down. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight again.

Of course, he was forbidden by the adults. If he continued to eat like this, he would definitely have a stomachache.

"Ding Dong!" The game console that had been placed on the table for charging gave out a notification of receiving a message.

Yuu reached for it and wondered who sent the message so late. Then, she found that it was a friend request. The account name was [Jiao Jue].

Yuu's eyes lit up and she quickly accepted.

Fairy's Melody: "Is it BOOM?"

Jiao Jue: "Yes."

Fairy's Melody: "That's great!

I was wondering when you would add me!

I didn't expect you to buy it so quickly. "

Jiao Jue: "Please try your best when you come back."

Fairy's Melody: "Your sister really loves you."

Jiao Jue: "Yes."

Fairy's Melody: "Speaking of which, is it okay if you just use your real name?"

Jiao Jue: "?"

Fairy's Melody: "It's best to use an online name."

Jiao Jue: "…"

Jiao Jue: "I don't know what to use."

Fairy's Melody: "You can use a name with your characteristics. For example, what is your personality?"

Jiao Jue: "… I don't want to use that name."

Fairy's Melody: "Then, or your appearance is fine too."

Fairy's Melody: "That's right!

How about the mandarin duck pot?

I think it's super cute! "

Jiao Jue: "No."

Fairy's Melody: "Instant rejection?!"

Fairy's Melody: "Alright, alright, or you can have whatever you like."

Fairy's Melody: "Like favorite hero, favorite music, favorite food, etc."

Jiao Jue: "Let me try."

Jiao Jue: "… Failed."

Fairy's Melody: "Uh, what did you use?"

Jiao Jue: "Ormet."

Fairy's Melody: "Of course not!

No matter what, I can't let you use someone else's hero name! "

Jiao Jue: "Oh."

For some reason, Yuu saw an infinite amount of grievance in this short "oh."

[Jiao Jue] was renamed to [Cold Buckwheat].

Cold Buckwheat: "That's fine, right?"

Fairy's Melody: "Yes."

Fairy's Melody: "You like Cold Buckwheat?"

Cold Buckwheat: "Yes, it's delicious. Sister is very good at this."

Fairy's Melody: "Oh, that's great."

Cold Buckwheat: "Want a round?"

Fairy's Melody: "Okay!"

Just as Frequency Conversion Optimizer was engrossed in the game, Takeshi ran into the study in his pajamas. After looking around, he pulled out a cardboard box from the corner. On it was written Kōji's school days. From a pile of photo albums, school memorabilia, graduation certificates, and other things, he found Mitsumi Fukuda High School's student record. Based on the bits and pieces of information he heard today, he quickly flipped through it.

[Noriko Kagawa, where do you live now?]

[I'm at my dad's house.]

[Oh, are you still in that super big dojo?]

[Yes, it's really hard to clean it up.]

Suddenly, Takeshi's hand stopped moving. A very classic villain smile appeared on his face.

"Found it, 'Shirahama Noriko Kagawa'."

Yuu, who was playing excitedly, suddenly felt a chill. Her hand trembled and was hit by Boom's big move. She immediately cried out loudly.

"Ah!

Oh no! "

"Yuu!

It's so late, go to sleep!

Don't you have an appointment with a friend tomorrow? "

"Ah, no, it's so late."

Looking at the clock, it was already 11: 30 at night. Just as the round ended, Yuu quickly said goodbye to Boom.

Fairy's Melody: "It's so late, I'm going to sleep."

Fairy's Melody: "Let's stop here for today?"

Cold Buckwheat: "Okay."

Cold Buckwheat: "Good night."

Fairy's Melody: "Okay, good night."

Fairy's Melody: "See you tomorrow night."

Cold Buckwheat: "…"

"Okay, see you tomorrow night."

Boom carefully hid the game console in the cupboard and covered it with her clothes. Then, she lay on the tatami mat. Thinking about today's strange experience, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

For the first time, she was looking forward to tomorrow.

The next morning, Takeshi Takeshi knocked off the alarm he set. He dressed neatly and stuffed the water, food, map, wallet, keys, and a piece of paper that he had secretly prepared last night into his small backpack. After leaving a note, he tiptoed out of the house.

At this time, the sun had just risen and there was a faint mist lingering on the streets.

The extremely bold Takeshi 9 years old Katsuji took out the map and confirmed it one last time. Then, with his head held high, he set out to his destination.

When he passed by the neighbor's house, the neighbor's Shibata Inu was awakened. Smelling a familiar smell, it happily went over. Then, it was stopped by the iron gate, so it opened its mouth to bark to attract Takeshi's attention.

Takeshi, who noticed it, quickly put a finger in front of his mouth. "Shh!"

"Woo?" The Shibata Inu tilted its head.

"Listen, Koutarou, I have something important to do. You can't make a noise, okay?

If the old woman is woken up, it will be troublesome! "

"Woo … woof …!"

The Shibata Inu, who didn't understand at all, thought that Takeshi was playing with it. It was happy and wanted to bark twice, but Takeshi quickly grabbed its long mouth.

"Don't. Bark."

"Woo …"

Takeshi, who was only 9 years old, was threatening a dog. But when he saw that the Shibata Inu was so scared that its tail drooped down and looked very depressed, he finally decided to hit it with a stick and give it a candy.

He took out a sausage from his backpack, unwrapped it, and fed it through the iron gate.

Carefully putting away the garbage, Takeshi looked at the Shibata Inu, who was eating happily and pretending to be quiet. He nodded with satisfaction and admired his own wit. Then, he took his backpack and embarked on the journey again.

Midaya Dehisa was very nervous, holding his mother Midaya Primer's hand. He tried hard to recall the self-introduction that he practiced several times yesterday, but he was so nervous that he couldn't remember a single word.

It was all Xiao You's fault for saying "survive". After he went home, he kept imagining how horrible it was, and he was scared to death. He was also afraid that he would be rejected. After all, he was so weak and had no personality.

If it was Xiao Sheng, they would gladly accept it.

Midaya suddenly thought of this, and then he was hit by himself.

But in the end, he still wanted to give it a try, so he tried hard to persuade his mother. He took the map drawn by Xiao You and walked to the dojo first.

But …

"It's so strange," Midaya Primer held her son with one hand and the hand-drawn map in the other hand. She looked around very doubtfully, "Dehisa, are you sure this map is right?

Why do I feel that we have been taking a detour?

It feels like it's closer to the dojo if we go through here. "

"Hey, but this was drawn by Xiao You himself. He said that he went to school every day like this."

In fact, Shirahama deliberately took a detour to train Yuu. Yuu, who was not familiar with the environment, thought that he had to run 10 kilometers every day to get to school.

In fact, it was only two kilometers in a straight line.
