Chapter 134 Lu Mingfei: Kind little monsters should not be eliminated

"Leo, just take me to see it again."

Seeing Lu Mingfei in a daze, Eiry pleaded expectantly.

"I'll go back to my brother to help me with the mediation after I finish reading it."

"Why did you want Yuan Zhisheng to help you with the matter?"

Lu Mingfei already knew what Eri was thinking.

There is no need to destroy yourself, as it will make those who care about her sad.

“Because it hurts to hold the knife.”

Eri pointed to her belly, then stretched out her finger, which had a shallow indentation on it.

"I saw in an anime that it wouldn't hurt if someone intervened."

She stabbed herself with an unsharpened knife, and because she was afraid of the pain, she planned to ask her brother to help her. Finally, she ran away from home with such a simple wish to see the world again. As a result, she was at a loss at the crossroads and burst into tears.

Some are funny, but more are pitiful.

Lu Mingfei sighed and used his index finger to press against Eiry's coquettish little head.

I can only say that I don’t understand the education that Eri has experienced in the past. Although this girl is kind, her world is distorted.

Everyone was afraid of her and confined her in a tangible cage, just like when he saw her standing alone at the crossroads, no one dared to approach her, and even if someone wanted to step forward, they would be driven away.

Everyone thinks she is a monster, and the perception that this world conveys to her is that Uesugi Eri is a monster.

Then even if she isn't a monster, she must be one.

She is a little girl who is isolated on an island by everyone.

'This is another tragedy caused by the group.'

"I suggest you think carefully about how you're going to see the world in the future."

Lu Mingfei did not remain silent any longer.

Silence can be misinterpreted; only language can facilitate mutual understanding.

"Ultraman won't destroy such a kind girl. Don't say that again."

You have to know that Leo has rescued quite a few monsters, and Lu Mingfei would not vent his hatred towards Herzog on a girl who is a victim.

If any other Ultraman were here, the only choice he would make would be to turn Herzog into ashes.

"Have you forgotten the beautiful oath you swore yesterday?"

Lu Mingfei tapped Eri's forehead, a gentle look in his eyes.

"Now, just protect your beautiful self."

“Start by making yourself happy.”

The moment the words fell, Eri's eyes widened, and her scarlet pupils shone with a radiance as bright as the stars.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, these are just words said to comfort the child, just to make the child be obedient.

But Lu Mingfei took it seriously, and Eiry also took it seriously.

No one had ever spoken to Eri like this before.

Just like yesterday, no one had ever told Eri what she could become.

Among the eight families of Snake, Uesugi Erie is the lofty head of the Uesugi family and the strongest decisive weapon that everyone looks up to.

The same was true in Gen Chisei's eyes. His love and sympathy for Eri were largely overshadowed by the family's sense of justice, so that Eri could clearly feel that there was an insurmountable layer of twilight between the two of them.

Eri likes playing with Minamoto Chisei because there is no one who treats her better than Minamoto Chisei.

Children's emotions are always simple and direct, and being a descendant of the White King gives Eri an extraordinary sense of emotions.

Eri knew that those who took care of her were afraid of her, and she knew that the heads of the families were in awe of her.

I just can't like that patriarch who always acts superior but pretends to be gentle. I always like to look around when he talks to me.

Everything in this family ordered her to follow the family etiquette, ordered her to stay in her own little house, and ordered her to live peacefully as the family's Tsukuyomi.

The people around Eri always hinder her from making choices, robbing this child of her dreams and freedom.

"But I'll hurt other people."

"With me here, are you still worried about hurting others?"

“Yes!”

Eri suddenly realized.

Leo subdued her in an instant.

"Can I continue to play outside?"

Then Eri's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The child's mood was just like the weather on the mountain. He immediately forgot about wanting to destroy himself.

In a world with only one voice, an uninvited guest suddenly breaks in and tells you that you are a good child and all you need to do is pursue happiness.

Compared to not letting you touch this, or letting you touch that, constantly covering up another lie with a lie, this kind of recognition is much more intimate. Many times, to get children out of sadness, just need simple recognition.

'After all, it all comes down to this girl's idea.'

If it was a different time period, Lu Mingfei would definitely agree immediately. It wasn't difficult to play with a child, he could just be there to play with him.

The problem is that Tokyo is indeed more dangerous now.

To be precise, as long as Herzog is alive, Master Yue's three children will never be safe.

"I think you should notify your guardian first."

Lu Mingfei felt that it was necessary to instill correct safety concepts in this child.

"Even if you plan to play outside, you need to inform your guardian to prevent your family from worrying."

After all, happiness cannot be built on the suffering of others.

Eri hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Then tell your brother."

"Let's talk first."

Then she clenched her fists, as if to cheer herself up.

"My choice is not to go back!"

She wanted to look around outside as much as she could before going home.

"I understand."

Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded, and began to count the alchemical equipment used for personal protection in his mind, and then called Yuan Zhisheng.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"

Yuan Zhisheng's tired voice came from the other end of the phone, and he sounded much more dejected than when he was trying to keep up his spirits when they met offline.

In just one day, the young man looked much older.

"Eri ran away from home."

"I know."

Gen Chisei said that he has always been paying attention to Eri.

"The family guards couldn't stop Eri, so they let her out. They will report every minute to Sakura."

"She's in my car now."

"please--"

Yuan Zhisheng wanted to ask Lu Mingfei to send the person back, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't say them.

'Does she really want to come back?'

He turned his head and looked out the window. Cumulonimbus clouds were piled up above Tokyo. The morning sun pressed down on the clouds, dyeing the sky pale.

"You seem to realize that, too."

Lu Mingfei listened to the sudden silence.

"I've spent so much time helping Eri make the decision. Don't you want to hear what Eri thinks?"

"I'm afraid Eri doesn't want to come back at all."

Yuan Zhisheng whispered.

"She always hated being home."

I had told you countless times in the past that it was dangerous outside and I needed to go back quickly. But now that the situation was really critical, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

And to be honest, after knowing clearly that he and his two siblings were the sacrifices used by Herzog to resurrect the White King, is his so-called home really safer than staying with Lu Mingfei?

A thought called melancholy flashed through his mind, and then he spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"Please, Mr. Lu, as a brother, I ask you to take good care of Eri."

"I will."

Lu Mingfei hung up the phone. Even though the speakerphone was on, Eiry was able to hear the entire conversation. He also made a victory gesture to her.

Great!
Eri, who won for the first time, had shining eyes and immediately became happy.

"As expected of Leo."

"However, these are extraordinary times, and Eri needs to follow some rules."

Lu Mingfei did not forget that he still had to go and kill people, so he could not go and play with Eiry halfway. It would be too miserable for ordinary people without anyone to take care of them.

"I will, I will!"

Eri nodded quickly.

If only I could stay outside and watch!

This is what she wishes for now.
