Chapter 23: Is Right and Wrong Really Important? (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Give Me a Reward!!)
"Wow! It feels so good!"
At night, in room 1303 of the residential area.
Yahiko threw himself on the brand new wooden bed and made a comfortable sound.
"Yahiko!"
Xiaonan's complaining voice came from the upper bunk, reminding her in a low voice: "It's very late, everyone should be asleep, don't be so loud!"
"Hmm." Yahiko covered his mouth, then scratched his head and muttered, "I know, I know."
Immediately, as if he thought of something again, he patted the ladder beside the bed with joy and suppressed his voice and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiaonan, can we really live here forever in the future?"
"...Brother Yunchuan said, he is just lending it to us temporarily. When we settle down, we have to rent a house by ourselves, or buy a house when we have money. Don't think about getting something for nothing."
Sitting cross-legged on the upper bunk bed, Xiaonan felt helpless, and suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety in her heart.
Why didn't I notice that Yahiko was so noisy before? He was always like this.
If I hadn’t applied for the household registration certificate and saved enough money, I would really like to experience the purity of my own room.
Thinking of this, Xiaonan lowered his head in boredom, took a piece of white paper and started folding it.
As a child, before her parents died, they taught her how to fold paper and told her that folding paper symbolized blessings and good luck.
Although no flowers can bloom in the Land of Rain, Xiaonan wants to fold a paper flower and give it to Brother Yunchuan to express her gratitude.
Even if he knew that this so-called thanks was just a trivial matter to him.
And this is the only thing that she, who is weak and frail, can do so far.
"..."
And Yahiko said nothing more, seeming to be thinking about his own things.
There was a long silence in the room, except for the slight scraping sound of origami.
Snap.
Until Xiaonan reached out and turned off the light, silently lying on the bed and sleeping with her clothes on, the room was completely dark.
Little bits of moonlight fell sparsely from the gaps in the curtains. Yahiko put his hands on the back of his head and silently looked at the looming moon outside the window.
Although this feeling was not real, he suddenly found that he was now...
It seems that you have a family?
There is no need to wander around, no need to dig through the garbage for a bite of food, no need to suddenly wake up from nightmares, and no need to worry about where you will die.
And now all this.
It's all because of that person.
After thinking about it, Yahiko suddenly understood the feelings of those residents.
"Home" is a simple word, but for people in this country, it is something that cannot be desired.
In comparison, he is really greedy and wants too many extravagant things.
"Konan." Yahiko suddenly broke the silence and said in a confused tone, "Do you think Brother Yunchuan is a good person?"
His question did not receive a response, it just echoed in the empty room, and Xiaonan seemed to have fallen asleep.
Until finally, the air became so stagnant that Yahiko felt uncomfortable.
"I don't understand why you're bothering with this."
Yahiko heard Konan sigh and said softly: "Good and bad, right and wrong, are they really that important to us?"
"No matter whether Brother Yunchuan is a good guy or a bad guy, he is our savior. This is an undoubted fact, isn't it?"
According to the original plot.
She was supposed to create the Akatsuki organization with Nagato and Yahiko, and run for Yahiko's ideal as a daughter.
Even after Yahiko died, he still stayed by Nagato's side, and even though the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization had been gradually distorted by him, Konan still stood behind Nagato from beginning to end.
Not for Yahiko's so-called ideals, nor for the "peace" in Nagato's life, but because they are Yahiko and Nagato.
From beginning to end, Xiaonan had no opinion of her own, and she didn't understand what was right or wrong.
She is just a girl, a girl with low strength and no ideals of her own.
Right and wrong, right and wrong, are not important to her.
Because Nagato and Yahiko wanted to do it, she was willing to run for it.
Now, she only knows that Yunchuan saved her, so it doesn't matter whether Yunchuan is good or bad.
"Yahiko, I know that you may feel that what Yunchuan brother did is wrong for other people." Xiaonan seemed to hesitate for a moment, "But I feel that imposing goodwill on others is not the same as what he did. No different."
If you use Yahiko's values, try to explain his behavior.
For Kumokawa, Yahiko's good intentions are also malicious.
"..."
Hearing Konan's answer, Yahiko fell into silence.
After a long time, Xiaonan felt the bed shake and make a creaking sound.
Under the dim moonlight, a figure could be vaguely seen standing up suddenly.
"Yahiko?" Xiaonan stood up and asked subconsciously, "What do you want to do?"
Is this idiot going to get into trouble with Brother Yunchuan in a flash of his mind?
"I just think you're right."
Yahiko took a breath, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, and whispered: "I am not qualified to question Brother Yunchuan's decision-making. I want to apologize to him for my arrogance."
"Moreover, I also hope to use my own power to make some changes in this country."
He also wanted to do something.
Perhaps, Yun Chuan, who is respected and protected by others, is the self he has always imagined in the past.
Therefore, when he sees the darkness hidden under the bright appearance, he will subconsciously feel conflicted about it.
Now that I think about it...
The complex emotions of admiration and jealousy made him completely different at that time.
"In my opinion, right and wrong are still very important. Since I did something wrong, I will admit it!"
Finally, after looking at Xiaonan who looked surprised, Yahiko shook his head and smiled casually: "But I still hate that red-haired kid. Sooner or later, I will grab him and tell him that what he said was wrong!"
After that, he took a step forward and walked out of the house with his head held high.
"Wait..."
Xiaonan behind him stretched out his arm, but before he finished speaking, Yahiko walked out quickly.
Seeing this, Xiaonan couldn't help but have a well-shaped forehead.
This stupid fool, it's the middle of the night now!
He was so hot-headed that he didn't care about anything!
At the same time, on the corridor outside.
Kumokawa's residence was next to them, but after walking to that door, Yahiko's firm steps slowed down, and the whole person looked like a deflated balloon, gradually becoming limp.
He should be asleep now, right?
Well, how about coming back tomorrow?
"..."
Although he looked very carefree in front of Xiaonan, he was cowardly when it came to admitting his mistakes.
What a hot-blooded idiot who has always been strong.
"What are you doing standing outside?"
But just as he turned around, he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the door.
"Come in."
Hearing this, Yahiko's movements froze, and he pushed the door and walked into the room.
Click.
"Excuse me."
He lowered his head and whispered.
But he heard a crisp and subtle sound in front of him.
Click! Click!
Yahiko subconsciously looked up, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
If he remembered correctly, the initial decoration of the rooms here should be uniformly stipulated.
But, all those things disappeared.
What Yahiko saw now was a pile of strange equipment.
And on the horizontal bar in the living room, the slowly rising and falling figure.
"... Am I under an illusion?"
Yahiko's expression became horrified, and his eyes looked like he was looking at a monster.
I saw that Kumokawa's legs were wrapped with an iron chain as thick as his arm, and three large iron plates were hung on the iron chain.
The strange sound that Yahiko heard was the sound of the iron plate hitting the ground when Kumokawa pulled the horizontal bar up and down.
Every time he slowly stretched his arms and fell down, the position of the iron plate was very accurate, and it would be pulled up just by touching the ground.
Just when Yahiko was stunned, another voice came.
"Yahiko! What are you doing standing at the door? Is it..."
Konan frowned and poked her head in from behind him. Just as she was about to say something, she was stunned when she saw Kumokawa.
"Eh? Eh eh eh?!"
Immediately, a blush gradually appeared on her little face.
I saw that the moonlight outside the window fell on Kumokawa's back, casting a thick shadow on his well-proportioned back muscles, making the outline and lines more three-dimensional and beautiful, and connecting them into a wing shape...
Then, as if he noticed the two people's different but equally passionate gazes, Kumokawa's upward figure paused slightly.
Bang! !
The heavy iron sheet fell to the ground, awakening the two stunned children.
At the same time, it also cleverly covered up the roar coming from outside the house.
"You two..."
Yunchuan picked up a towel beside him, wiped off the non-existent sweat, looked at the two of them deeply and said, "What's the matter?"
In the dark night, a ray of light was reflected in his dark blue eyes, and the flash of the administrative building in the distance was clearly visible.
