Retired Hero Ben Maru Daily
Chapter 2
"You're no longer looking forward to being a hero. Tear up this test sheet to express your determination."
The man's tone was casual, but his words were reasonable. "Even children have to learn to be responsible for their own actions."
Nainai looked at the hand that was reaching out to her man and widened her eyes.
"I … I …" The little girl, who could not be coaxed by her parents, trembled in fear. It was as if the thin piece of paper had become a man-eating monster, or the man holding the paper was a monster with an open mouth.
She still could not understand why she would be asked to take action when she was as angry as before. Her parents, who had always been obedient to her, and her colleagues, who had expressed their love for her after meeting her parents, could not stop the man from forcing her.
The adults were helpless, and the children who relied on them were so scared that they wanted to cry. However, they instinctively knew that crying would be counterproductive. They could only say softly, "I … I … did something wrong. I said something wrong. I'm sorry …"
The father, who was holding his daughter, looked at his daughter's obedient and timid way of apologizing. He had originally tolerated the man's identity as a hero, but his daughter, who he doted on so much that he could not bear to say anything harsh, was forced to apologize for no reason. As a father, how could he tolerate it?
"Sir!
Is it fun to bully a little girl like this?
Does it give you a sense of accomplishment to show your power to ordinary people as a hero? "
The father came forward, snatched the paper, and tore it into pieces.
"If you don't want to do the personality test, then so be it!
What hero? To hell with it!
There are so many people in this world who are not heroes, but they are still living well. What does it matter? "
The man's wife hurriedly supported him. His colleagues also looked at the man in black with unfriendly eyes.
The children were frightened by this scene. Other than hugging their parents, they could not say anything.
The tense and violent scene only made the cold and lazy man tilt his head. His eyes, which were hidden under the shadow of his hat, were facing the little girl, Nainai. "Hm, haven't you stopped crying and making a fuss and quietened down?"
The irrelevant sentence did not ease the atmosphere. Instead, it gave Nainai's mother the courage to stand up. "If you want to say that you were just joking, it's too late!
It's too bad!
We can go to the Heroes Society to complain, and we can also report to the reporters!
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a hero license or work at Ju Ke & Partners.
We won't let people like you spoil the spirit of the Hero team! "
The colleagues saw that their colleague had already made a firm stand, so they stopped playing the victim. They gestured with their terminals. "I've already taken a picture and a recording. We can immediately find a lawyer or enter the complaint procedure!"
"I know a reporter. He will definitely report about a hero like you using your status to suppress others!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't underestimate ordinary people like us!
Without us, do you think people like you who became heroes because of your unique personalities … "
"Eh?
I think everyone has misunderstood me a little too much. "
The man was still lazy and slow. He even shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. The cold aura he had a few minutes ago was nowhere to be seen.
"Are you trying to deny it now that you've been caught?"
"It's too late, I'm telling you!
Even if you apologize, we won't let people like you who exist to defame heroes off! "
The adults spoke one after another. The little boy, Masato, who had originally worshipped hero dolls, also raised his fist to fight back. "Bad people who bully children!
Dignitaries who threaten civilians!
Scum of the Hero team? "
"Eh?
Bad people who bully children?
Dignitaries who threaten civilians?
Scum of the Hero team? "
As the man spoke, he turned around and walked towards the little boy. The mother, who was hugging Masato, quickly hid beside her husband. Only Masato clenched his fists and stared at the man in black without any fear.
"First of all, bully children?"
The man seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. The parents who were still recording exclaimed, and the phone recording fell into his hands.
After the parents exclaimed, they stiffly realized that this man was a hero. With his skills, he could completely destroy the evidence.
"In the entire video, did I use force to coerce the child, or did I use force to suppress everyone?
I only made a pertinent suggestion, and I was randomly blacklisted. Even if the content of such a video was exposed, not to mention the public's discussion, even the law — "He glanced at the pale faces of the parents." — would not be able to convict me. "
"And then, threaten civilians?" He made a distressed sound.
"Throughout the entire process, let's not talk about whether I used force or not. Whether I threatened verbally or not doesn't exist.
And when it comes to using power, it was everyone who kept saying that they knew lawyers and reporters. Ah, who was the one being threatened?
Thinking about it, it's not a bad idea for the video to be posted online. The click rate will definitely be high. After all, it's rare to see news like threatening heroes. "
The parents looked at each other.
Indeed, now that they thought about it carefully, everything was as the man in black said. They were the ones who were in the wrong.
But that wasn't their original intention …
"Finally."
The man's hawk-like eyes scanned the surroundings. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the pale-faced little girl, Nainai.
Nainai instinctively shrank back. She could only shake her head and hug her father's neck.
Nainai's father no longer had the aura from before, but he still wanted to protect his beloved daughter. He still looked fearlessly at the man's eyes under the brim of his hat. He gritted his teeth and ignored his wife pulling his sleeve from behind. He stubbornly said, "But as a hero, shouldn't you pay attention to your influence?
You made my daughter tear the test sheet and denied her the ability to become a hero. Isn't that a form of incompetence? "
The parents hurriedly came up to smooth things over. They wanted to say something one after another.
But this time, no one had time to speak. Everyone was stunned by the information the man said next.
"The scum of the hero team?"
He first repeated the little boy's last accusation against him. It was rare for him to curve the corners of his lips. He said slowly and evilly, "I … am not a hero. How can I be scum? How can I be incompetent?"
"That's why a vile person like you went to scare a little girl. You even tricked the parents who loved their daughter so much."
The owner, who was originally thought to have hurriedly closed the shop, shook the cup in his hand with a smile.
Accompanied by the sound of ice cubes colliding and liquid flowing, the man in black leaned back against the bar counter in satisfaction. He looked at the crowd outside a few steps away, whose line of sight and sound had been blocked by the owner's personality. His lazy tone was no longer covered by the cold aura at the beginning. It could not hide the mischievous nature of his tone. "If I don't teach the naughty child a lesson, with that couple's family background and the degree to which they spoil the child, it will be easy for her to grow up crooked."
"Although you have a vile personality, according to my understanding, you are not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business.
And what did you say after that?
You told those parents to treat you as a distinguished guest. When they parted just now, they bowed and sent you off eighteen times. They couldn't wait to bring you home and worship you. "
"I only told them that although I am not a hero, I am a hero talent scout under Ju Ke & Partners. I can find and train children to become heroes.
Also … I told them about the girl's personality and gave them a little advice. "
The man turned around, took off his hat and put it on the bar counter. His face was completely exposed to the light.
The owner pushed the cup to him and stared at his exposed face for a long time in a daze. Then, he said faintly, "You can talk after a while. Let me focus and forget about your heart. I can simply admire your face for a while."
"…" The man's face was stiff. He didn't know what to say.
Until the store manager was satisfied and let out a long sigh, he said with a deadpan look in his eyes, "Every time I see you admiring my face and despising my heart, I feel that you have mixed feelings about me and love and hate me."
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the drink in the cup. However, his eyes instantly widened and he put the cup back on the bar counter. "You used a bartender's cup to make me a cup of milk tea????"
"Miss Heroic Scales, who retired due to injury, please remember your injury and your image as a national idol, okay?" The owner turned around and wiped the rows of exquisite glass cups in the cupboard.
"Don't call me that name again. What National Idol Heroes Society? I'm retired. Thank you." Even so, the man could only hold the cup and drink the milk tea with a sour face.
"You're retired, but you're still worried about the future of the hero team. How dedicated."
"If that girl was an Enhancer, Superpower, or Nature type, I wouldn't have cared.
She's just like you. "
The owner, who was called by his name, stopped wiping and continued the man's words. "She's a special Superpower type who can control her senses."
"Didn't you notice?
She's in the booth. Your ability has been assimilated by her. You didn't even notice it.
It's just an instinct. She doesn't fully realize what she's done. "
"So, whether it's her parents or her friends, they're all protecting her.
They're even a little overboard.
Her instincts use her personality to control the adults' senses and make them protect her.
With this personality and the environment she grew up in, it's easy for her to go astray. "
"Yes, so you're the one who doesn't let people talk about the National Idol Hero Society. You're also the one who's worrying blindly." The owner bent down and took out a file from under the counter and pushed it to the man.
"Retirement means leaving your post completely. So, you should put away your inner troublemaker.
Your new job is right in front of you. Please forget about your old love. Don't make your new love unhappy. "
The file opened, and there was only a piece of A4 paper with a blue Kikyo seal.
The Kikyo seal was a Yin-Yang spell that was named after the Kikyo flower. It resonated with the silver Kikyo seal on the man's suitcase, giving off a strange feeling of Yin and Yang.
The man stared at the Yin-Yang spell created by the Great Yin-Yang Master Abe Seimei. Just as he was about to put his hand on it, a hurried ringtone interrupted him.
The owner looked at her terminal and frowned. "It's Bombardment Scorch. At this time …"
She was about to pick it up, but the man pounced on her and pressed her hand down. When she saw the panic on the man's face, she was surprised and immediately understood. She tilted her eyes and sneered. "So, not only did you suddenly resign, but you also didn't say goodbye to your rumored boyfriend.
Wow, a scumbag who abandoned his old love. You really are the Green Tea Tianping Sauce that people on the forum talk about. "
"I told you not to call me that name anymore. Also, stop visiting the forum of your girlfriend fans, okay?" The man scratched his hair. Only when he felt the prickly touch did he realize that the long hair was no longer there.
Heroic Scales no longer existed.
