Chapter 71 I want to be their "hero"!

Considering that the Cursed Children here were only a small part of the Tokyo area, they didn't dare to do anything.

Therefore, when Yezai was building, he specially expanded the area to prevent the awkward situation of not having enough space in the future.

It was only at night that the little loli stopped building due to the lack of light.

They had been busy the whole day, but there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.

For the Cursed Children, whose physiques were far stronger than ordinary people, this amount of work was no different from building blocks.

Because it was too dangerous to go back at this time, everyone could only stay here for the night.

Although it was said that they had to sleep in the open, this was nothing to the little loli who had lived in a worse environment in the past.

After telling the little loli stories and coaxing them to sleep, Yezai still had to keep watch.

The walls of the Varanium were only half-built and were not fully used to defend against the Gastrea creatures.

Therefore, the ones who were forced to do the hard work of keeping watch tonight were him and Rentaro.

As for Kisara Tendo, the president said that she had done "tiring" commanding work today and needed a good rest.

Holding two bottles of beer, he jumped on the half-built Hokkaido wall and handed one of the bottles to Rentaro, who was sitting next to him.

"I'm not an adult yet. I can't drink yet."

"Come on, you and Kisara drank too much at my house last time."

With the scandal exposed, Rentaro took the beer with a bitter smile.

Indeed, every time Kisara complained, he would suffer.

"Yezai, can you tell me the reason why you are doing this?"

Rentaro drank the beer in his hand and asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

The entire world hated the Cursed Children. Those who still had some conscience were just not prejudiced against them.

However, no one would go as far as Yezai, giving everything he had just to give these Cursed Children a place to live.

If Yezai was a "schemer" and had ulterior motives for taking in the Cursed Children, Rentaro would not believe it.

After a long period of contact, not only did Yezai understand Rentaro, but Rentaro also understood Yezai quite well.

In essence, Yezai was a person who was afraid of trouble. If he could do something lying down, he would definitely not stand.

In fact, Rentaro even suspected that if it weren't for the large amount of funds Yazai needed, he wouldn't even want to work as a civil servant.

However, it was precisely because he understood Ye Zai that he was curious about the reason for Ye Zai's actions.

"If I say that I want to be the hero in those children's hearts, would you believe me?"

Indeed, part of the reason why Ye Zai was working so hard was because of the system's mission.

However, he really wanted to be the "hero" of those children.

He was not from this world, so he did not understand the way the people of this world thought.

What did those kids do wrong?

Just because they might become monsters, they had to be treated this way?

Then why did he want to use them as weapons? He already hated them and despised them, yet he still wanted to use them.

Was this really something a human could do?

Although the system wanted Ye Zai to be a hero and wanted him to be the 'savior' of the world, unfortunately, his abilities were limited.

He could only be the "hero" of those children. In his opinion, the so-called "people" of this world were not worth saving.

Compared to being the "savior" of this world, Yezai wanted to be the "destroyer" more.

Just like the man with steel nails who always wanted the world to "carry rice" in a certain movie.

(Idk what reference is this, can someone tell me?)

Perhaps the people of this world should feel the pain of those children. Only then would they be able to understand each other.

"Rentaro, you will never know what these children have experienced."

"Those from the 'plundered era' lost their homes and families. Then, aren't these 'cursed children' the same?

They were also abandoned by their parents. They were even hated by everyone. They were sent to the battlefield to die. What did they do wrong? "

Ye Zai's words left Rentaro speechless.

That's right. Those children had also lost their families and homes.

They had suffered far more than those from the "plundered era." Then, what right did people like them have to hate them?

Just as Ye Zai said, those children had always been innocent. However, no one had ever stood up for them.

Until now, when Ye Zai, the so-called "hero", appeared.

Rentaro fell silent. He kept thinking about Ye Zai's words. However, at this moment, Ye Zai noticed something strange in the distance.

In the darkness, many scarlet eyes could be seen. It was obvious that uninvited guests had arrived.

The aura of a large number of living people gathered together. As expected, it was inevitable that the Gastrea Creatures would be attracted.

Although there weren't many Gastrea Creatures because of the large number of Vi here, it was enough to cause trouble for Ye Zai and the others.

Behind them were the sleeping lolis. Once they were allowed to go around, it would be unavoidable for a massacre.

Although the lolis had superhuman physiques, they didn't have any combat experience. Once the Gastrea Creatures went past them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Rentaro, stop daydreaming. We should get to work."

"There are many guests this time. You can't hide your strength anymore."

Ye Zai smiled casually. Accompanied by a gust of wind, he merged into the darkness.

As he approached, Rentaro could hear the screams of monsters in the darkness. There were also broken limbs of the Gastrea Creatures flying out.

Rentaro looked behind him and suddenly smiled. He jumped down the wall and killed his way into the darkness.

"Alright, I'll be a 'hero' tonight too!"

There weren't many Gastrea Creatures here, but they were all Level 2 and above.

This was because the Level 1 Gastrea Creatures instinctively avoided the discomfort brought by so much Vi metal.

Ye Zai merged into the darkness. Every gust of wind would reap a large number of lives.

In just a short while, his body was splattered with blood of various colors.

Hearing the sounds coming from the other side of the darkness, as well as the occasional sparks, Ye Zai couldn't help but smile.

"Rentaro, is this guy finally willing to use his strength?"

Due to the darkness, Ye Zai could see Rentaro's fighting posture.

However, he could sense a dangerous aura coming from the other side. Don't doubt the intuition of a 'Sword Master'.

Rentaro had indeed used his strength. This was because the Gastrea Creatures here were at least Level 2. Most of them were even Level 3.

If he continued to slack off like before, he might die.

If there was light now, Ye Zai would discover that Rentaro looked more like a modified human like Genos than a human.

The left half of Rentaro's body was almost entirely made of metal. Judging from the reflection of the metal on his arms and legs, it wasn't hard to tell that these were the Gastrea Creatures' nemesis, the Vi metal prosthetic limbs.
