Chapter 25 You are our hero!
"Sister Shimura, can't you be gentler?"
Lying on the ground gasping for air, with his physical strength and magic power exhausted, Du En decisively chose to surrender. Although his body was durable, it was not a punching bag and he did not want to be abused all the time.
"Isn't it going to work so soon?"
With an angry look on her face, Shimura Nana retracted her fist and looked at Du En and said dissatisfiedly.
I've been beaten by you for five minutes!
Using the protection of three enhanced attributes at the same time, Du En's current magic power can be maintained for up to five minutes. Within these five minutes, Du En's strength, speed, or endurance will all be qualitatively improved.
However, once more than five minutes pass, Duen will be knocked back to his original shape and enter a weak state.
"The duration is a problem. It's okay to face weaker prisoners, but it will be troublesome if you meet a well-matched opponent."
Shimura Nana pursed her lips and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures, but thinking that Dune had just started, it was already good to reach this level.
"It doesn't matter, after all, you have just joined my firm. In the days to come, I will conduct intensive training based on your situation, and I will definitely make you a qualified hero."
After punching Du En on the chest, Shimura Nana said confidently, Du En's body has grown strong muscles compared to the thin young man when he first started to travel, and he looked more than a circle stronger.
Most of this is due to Jianshuo's protection, and of course, part of it is the result of Du En's hard work.
In the past month, he didn't just take care of the children, causing trouble for Shimura Nana.
But at this moment, Shimura Nana suddenly mentioned a topic that had nothing to do with heroes, which made Dune wary.
"Speaking of which, Mingyi will have a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow, but I still have work, so..."
"so?"
Facing Du En lying on the ground, Shimura Nana clasped her hands together.
"So, I'll leave it to you for Mingyi's parent-teacher conference!"
I knew it!
Although he is a little helpless, Du En will probably have to be a baby daddy for a long time before becoming a professional hero.
…
It was already past twelve o'clock when he returned to the office. After taking a shower, Du En lay on the bed with a tired look on his face, staring at the ceiling.
"Now, Matthew, tell me, why would someone want to be a hero?"
When you see someone sad, you want to go up and comfort them. When you see someone injured, you want to help. Humans are emotional animals and always sympathize with others subconsciously.
No different than the peaceful era created by Toshinori Yagi a few decades later, heroes in this era were not legal, the professionalization of heroes was only a draft that had just been promulgated, and very few heroes could obtain professional certificates.
The content of the assessment is set by ordinary people. Among those who call themselves heroes, there are always those who fail the assessment and blame it on the imperfect content of the assessment. If they put themselves in too high a position, it will be painful if they fall.
Shimura Nana is probably worried about this kind of hero. He has been selfless for so many years but has not been recognized. This kind of emotion is most likely to be induced to go to the road of crime.
Regarding Du En's question, Matthew, who was busy with something, did not answer him immediately. Instead, he said after a while: "I think the person who became a hero at the beginning may not realize that he has become a hero.
.”
As Matthew spoke, he suddenly asked: "Senior, do you still remember Miss Joan of Arc?"
Of course I remember, that is my wife... ah no, I am a follower.
"When Miss Joan of Arc first wanted to save the French people from the war, she never thought that she would become a saint and hero forever, but she still did it because she couldn't bear to watch the people in her hometown fall into trouble.
In the flames of war."
"They take action before actual benefits, and help others without pursuing rewards. It's not that they want to be heroes, but that we regard them as heroes."
Heroes are not self-proclaimed, only heroes recognized by others are heroes.
"So that's it!" Closing his eyes, Du En smiled slightly and said: "It seems that I am really not a hero. I can't do selfless dedication or anything like that."
"That's not right, senior, you are already a hero because..."
As soon as Matthew said these words, he realized that Du En had fallen asleep.
There seemed to be something condensing in his hands. Looking at Du En's sleeping profile, Chaldea was alone, and Mashu said softly.
"Because you are our hero!"
…
"Mom has something to do and can't go to your parent-teacher meeting today. You have to listen carefully to Brother Du En. Do you hear me?"
Shimura Mingichi, who was only six years old and still in kindergarten, lowered his head, grabbed the shoulder strap of his schoolbag with both hands, and did not answer Shimura Nana. He seemed to be using this method to express his dissatisfaction to Shimura Nana.
The light in her eyes dimmed slightly, but Shimura Nana still pretended not to notice, and said to Du En next to Shimura Mingichi: "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Do not worry."
Du En nodded. As a hero, Shimura Nana gave up too many things. Sometimes he wanted to ask Shimura Nana "Is it worth it?", but in the end he gave up.
After all, he is just an outsider. He has only been with Shimura Nana for a month. Just like Shimura Nana has not been able to understand his character, he has not understood Shimura Nana in depth.
"Let's go, Mingyi."
Patting Shimura Mingyi's small shoulder, seeing that Shimura Mingyi didn't move, Du En couldn't help but said seductively: "Come back and cook the braised pork you like."
Hearing Du En's words, Shimura Mingichi was obviously moved. Seeing this, Du En stretched out another finger.
“How about some braised eggplant?”
Being so seduced by Du En, Shimura Mingyi finally stopped being silent, raised his head, and gave Du En a vicious look.
"I don't like eating your food."
He said this, but his body moved honestly. After a while, as if he was afraid that Du En really thought he didn't like eating, Shimura Mingichi said in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "You are not allowed to go back on your word.
"
If Du En hadn't had good hearing, he might not have been able to hear.
"Okay, I won't go back on what I said." Du En said cheerfully, I can't deal with you, little guy?
To be honest, if it weren't for Shimura Nana's poor cooking skills, Du En would not be able to convince Shimura Mingichi so easily. This kid's character is just like his mother's, stubborn and stubborn.
However, I have never seen Shimura Nana’s husband after coming to the office for so long. Could it be that he is also a hero and is performing a mission outside?
Although his family is not well off, the kindergarten that Shimura Aiichi attends is definitely the best in the neighborhood.
I usually take Shimura Mingichi to the pick-up and drop-off point of the school bus, but this is his first time in kindergarten.
As soon as he saw Mingichi Shimura next to Du En, the kindergarten teacher came over.
"Hello, are you Mingyi's father? Please come in first."
No, wait what did you just say?
Mingyi's father?
Do I look that old? I am only 20 years old, am I 13 years old... I am not Naoya Tahara, and the child is a daughter after all.
Du En, who was trapped in a state of confusion, was half pushed and half sent to the classroom by the teacher. From the beginning to the end, Shimura Mingichi did not refute what the teacher said.
Could it be that this is the legendary Xi...
"Mr. Dun, why are you here?"
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Du En's ears.
Du En looked towards the source of the sound and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Ling?"
