"I……" Facing the right hand handed over by Leon, Prince Andre, who looked like a seven or eight-year-old boy, could not help but show a timid look on his face. He unconsciously took half a step back, then shook his head desperately and said: "I won't go! They will definitely not forgive me!" "Of course, you're not talking nonsense!" After hearing this, Leon kept his hand out and complained speechlessly: "If you don't take a good look, what kind of shit have you done over the years? Who can really forgive you? To be honest, if I were your father, the regret that kept me in [Regret City] would not be the misunderstanding with you, but why I didn't shoot you in the first place...um...why If they want to give birth to you, they will forgive you only if they are crazy, okay? " "..." No... do you want to persuade him to surrender? I was originally expecting to get comfort from Leon and hear something like "parents will never blame their children", but instead received violent complaints that were twice as heartbreaking. Prince Andre's already full of cracks in his mentality suddenly changed. He was kicked to pieces by a flying kick, and he shook his head wildly with fear in his eyes and said:
"No! I don't want to go to the Realm of Death! I don't want to go to the City of Regret either. They won't forgive me. Then I..." "Snapped!" The outstretched hand suddenly waved horizontally, and after slapping Prince Shota hard, Leon wiped the paint on his hands and said angrily to the stunned Prince Andre: "Stop making trouble, okay? No one has the responsibility to forgive you. I suggest you apologize. It's not to make your parents feel better, but to make yourself feel better!" "I……" "You look just like the one you draw now. You are just a giant baby!" Looking at Prince Shota covering his face in front of him, Leon curled his lips and said: “The sign of a person’s adulthood is not his height or beard, but the sign of breaking away from the protection of his parents, starting to take responsibility on his own, and facing and accepting the mistakes he has made. Although you are older than me, you have been protected very well. You have basically never experienced any storms, and your mental state is completely like that of an underage child. " "I...I'm not..." "Snapped!" "Don't be stubborn." After a backhand slap from the other side, Leon, who finally felt comfortable, looked down at the bewildered Prince Shota, stretched out his right hand again, and said word by word: "If you really think you're not, then grab my hand and prove it to me!" "I...I don't dare to go..." After being slapped twice in succession, Prince Andre's mental age seemed to have returned to the same eight-year-old as his "body". He turned his head and did not dare to look directly at Leon, and whispered with tears in his eyes: "I still want to see them, but...but they will be very, very angry if they see me..." "Snapped!" "Why are you still hitting me?"
"Sorry, it's easy." After rubbing oil paint on his clothes, Leon stared at Prince Andre and asked: "So even if they don't forgive you, how could the situation be any worse than it is now? Anyway, you are already dead. Even if they get angry again, they can't kill you again. The most they can do is beat you a few times and scold you. But you can see them again in person after more than ten years, and They talked to each other, even to the point of being held in their arms again. In order to see the fake parents you drew, you risked being crushed by the cleanup. You went through so many things, but now you only need to be beaten and scolded twice to see them. Your own true parents, what else do you have to hesitate about? " "..." Yes... Compared to being able to see them again, what else do I have to hesitate about? After listening to Leon's inquiry, Prince Andre bit his lower lip, tremblingly raised his eight-year-old child's hand, and tentatively grabbed Leon's palm. However, even though the decision had been made, the small arm was still as heavy as if it was hanging from a big mountain. He lifted it several times, but could not reach the height of Leon's hand, and could only lift it below. Feinting again and again. "You... lower your hands a little..." After trying several times and failing to raise his hand, eight-year-old Prince Andre couldn't help but wailed: "You're too tall. Put your hands down a little, I can't hold them..." "You can catch it." After looking at Prince Shota's trembling arms, Leon, whose eyes were always full of disdain and whose voice was always cold, softened his voice for the first time and reminded him warmly: "Andre, no one can help you on the road you are going to take next, and what you have to hold on to is not my hand, but your own belief. Only if you have a strong enough faith to see your family again, will you be able to cross the [Point of No Return] and walk all the way to the [City of Regret] to apologize to your parents and make up for the mistakes you have made... In the end, Ender Lie, if you could hold my hand, you would no longer be a child. " I am no longer a child... After hearing Leon's words, the eight-year-old Prince Andre raised his head and looked at the still stable palm above his head, and then looked through the fingers at the calm face that was no longer full of contempt, and couldn't help but pursed his lips. , asked softly with tears in his eyes: "So...you want to save not only Filia and the others, but also me?" "I didn't save you." Leon shook his head and said: "I'm just telling you that there is another way to go besides this dead end. It's up to you to decide whether to go there or not. In addition, you were not saved by anyone. You just stopped escaping blindly and learned to face your mistakes like an adult." Escape... face... After listening to Leon's words, Prince Andre's shaking palm finally stabilized. He silently reached up and took hold of the warm and firm palm, and then was held tightly by it. "Very good." After grabbing the small hand of an eight-year-old child drawn with oil paint, Leon's face showed a sign of praise for the first time, and then he kowtowed to [Trustworthy Brother] in his heart. After Prince Andre "degenerated" to the state of eight years old, his bronze-level "Good Brother" badge played an unimaginable super-god effect. If it weren't for this thing, this time it might really be a big deal.
There are no garbage badges, only treasures that have not yet found a use! After reminding himself again that he should never ignore the effectiveness of any badge, Leon, who was driving the gold-level [Master of Performance] throughout the whole process, grabbed Andre's palm, which had become much more stable, and asked in a gentle voice: "I'll ask you one last time, are you ready?" "Well..." Looking at Leon, who had clearly let go of his defense against the soul but still did not take the opportunity to subdue him, but asked him in a gentle voice whether he was ready, Prince Andre nodded gratefully and said firmly: "I'm ready! No matter what greets me, I want to see them again!" "Okay." After receiving a positive answer, Leon used the power of the three-headed dog god to contact the [Gate of the Dead] leading to the dead world, and then grabbed Prince Andre's soul and pulled it out with force. "Let's go!" After pulling Prince Andre's soul out of "Korok in the Sunset", Leon opened the passage to the [Gate of the Dead] and kindly said: "When you get there, remember not to mention that you know me. If someone finds something wrong and asks you why you have my scent on you, then just say that I killed you and you and I are sworn enemies." "Okay... huh?" What the hell? Didn't you say you have connections there and have many acquaintances?
