Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 41: Humans Don't Thank Heroes

"So, Xinggong, can you tell me what happened?"

The ordinary blond boy inquired. Well, he wasn't that ordinary. After all, he was the number one S-class, King Arthur.

"Wow! It's rare to see you so serious, brother. I'm almost moved to tears." Cheng Yiran said in disbelief.

Arthur asked expectantly, "Really?"

Cheng Yiran rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "It's fake. You look better with your silly look of a middle school student syndrome. Your seriousness is almost making me sick."

Arthur stood up and retorted excitedly, "Am I really that bad? And that's not Chuunibyou, that's the domineering aura that belongs only to a king! You, a magical girl, won't understand."

Cheng Yiran glanced over casually, "Which king would chant before using his ultimate skill like you do?"

"Xinggong, you are too poisonous. No one will dare to marry you in the future!"

Mr. King Arthur forgot one thing. When Cheng Yiran glared at him with a stabbing look, his momentum immediately wilted.

"Ahem. Let's get back to the point. What happened that made you unhappy? Tell me and I'll cheer you up."

Well~ this is the correct way to talk to Miss Hoshimiya.

Cheng Yiran lowered his head and looked at the bonfire, saying nostalgically, "Nothing, I just miss my parents."

"Then take some time to go back and take a look. With your supersonic speed, you should be able to get back quickly."

Cheng Yiran smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There's no chance. They died when I awakened my superpowers. I could protect them, but who knew that my fucking superpowers can only be used after I transform. It would have been better if I had chosen to stand in front of them at that time."
-
No, this may not be possible. The old man will not let himself just look at my back.

After taking a deep breath, the girl continued, "I am a bastard son. I have never given them peace of mind in my life. Now I am just saying calmly that I miss them."

"Calm?" Arthur raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "The word 'sad' is written all over your face. If you were a water sign five hours later, you would cry all day."

Miss Xingmiya frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She always felt that this middle school student was mocking her.

Arthur glanced up and down at the desperate girl in front of him, and raised the corner of his lips, "One thing you said is not accurate. You are not just their son now. Your parents should have children. They will be relieved."

Cheng Yiran's anger immediately rose, and he completely forgot about his sadness. "Chuunibyou, if you want to die, just say so!"

Arthur took a few steps back and finished his last sentence, "You don't have them anymore, but you still have me. You can totally treat me as your godfather. But this is my first time being a father, so please give me your guidance, my dear daughter."

"Go to hell!" Cheng Yiran entered the magical girl form.

Well~ Although the method is very unconventional, the goal was achieved after all.

……

"So, Sister Yiran, can you tell me what happened?"

The two figures overlapped, and Cheng Yiran smiled beautifully.

Although Shen Xinmeng didn't know what she was laughing at, she felt relieved a little. At least the smile was no longer forced.

"Well, Xinmeng, let me tell you a story." Miss Idol opened her mouth slowly, her voice as sweet as a silver bell.

"A long time ago, there was a kingdom that was invaded by demons. However, the kingdom was very large. Even though the demons were powerful enough to destroy a small town, it would take a long time for all humans to feel their terror and completely occupy the entire kingdom." Just then, a brave man who heard the information let go of his passion. He raised the holy sword, rushed to the border and saved the people who were living in dire straits there.

"The hero was very powerful, and the holy sword in his hand was even more powerful. He advanced triumphantly all the way, and finally even reached the Demon King's Castle and successfully defeated the Demon King.

"The world has entered peace, and people can continue to live and work in peace. The returning hero should be regarded as a savior and supported by the people. This should be the case, but when the hero returns, he will face the distrust of mankind.

“Because the war took place on the border, not everyone has seen the cruelty and terror of the demons. Instead, the heroic deeds of the brave are widely circulated. They have the power to defeat the demon king, so why don’t the brave men become the new demon king themselves?
"So——Humans don't thank heroes."

Shen Xinmeng remained silent. The reason was similar to what she had imagined, but she didn't expect it to be so serious in Sister Yiran's eyes.

It is true that Shen Xinmeng is an S-class hero, and she was also a witness to the war between the Super Power Era and the alien beasts, but she was not one of the nine people who should have enjoyed the highest honor at the awarding ceremony.

Humans will not thank the brave heroes in the stories, nor will they thank the S-class heroes of the previous generation too much, because the situation in reality is the same as in the stories, not everyone has seen strange beasts.

The hazards of tunnels are spread all over the world, but the number of tunnels did not reach the peak at the beginning, and the largest affected area of ​​tunnels only reached one-third of the world.

The tunnel will bring strange beasts that will destroy human civilization, and will also bring about the awakening of people with special powers. The special powers of people with special powers are closely related to their own thoughts, so they know how to use their special powers from the beginning.

Apart from a few city-destroying tunnels, even the lowest-level D-class psychics can deal with the disruption-level tunnels and buy time for people to evacuate.

All humans know is that a disaster has displaced them.

Half a year later, a wishful idiot with a second-year syndrome gathered the thirteen strongest people in the world and led them to launch a counterattack.

At that time, most of the humans in the gathering point had never seen the true appearance of the strange beasts. Only some images were transmitted to them. The tigers, wolves, and leopards in the photos, weren't they all ordinary wild beasts?
Therefore, in their minds, the strange beasts are just stronger wild beasts, but it is the hard life that makes them miserable.

So where did the shrinking population go?

It's very simple. They are all heroes who practiced their wishful thinking with their lives and people who were in the hardest-hit areas and could not escape.

The absurdity in the story often comes from facts in reality. The awarding ceremony, which should have been extremely lively, was unusually deserted. The only people who came to congratulate them were their respective disciples and former top leaders of various countries.

Well~ Fortunately, Xinggong, who has the worst temper, is affected by his own supernatural powers, and is also infected by someone's wishful thinking and is thinking about how to heal the damaged world.

Oh, by the way, do you know what the first-class merit certificates are in the hands of Cheng Yiran and the Yuntian Studio?

This was a group of thieves with supernatural powers who stole the seal of the supreme leader and "forced" the former supreme leader who did not "take good care of" the people to "forge" it.

After a long while, Shen Xinmeng finally took a breath under the heavy pressure and asked, "What about the hero's future life?"

Cheng Yiran didn't expect her to ask this, so he followed the story's proper ending and said, "The nobles in the kingdom who admire the hero reached an agreement with the king who represents the majority of humans to allow the hero to live freely in the kingdom.

"The hero's actions were motivated by passion and wishful thinking, so even if no one thanked him, he didn't cause any trouble for anyone. But he still had to make a living, so he found a job with those nobles and lived a stable life."

Shen Xinmeng seemed to have anticipated the final answer and asked confidently, "Will the hero regret everything he has done?"

Cheng Yiran smiled and said, "Maybe, but maybe not. After all, he is a brave man."
-
My Xinmeng is different. The words she uses are much more advanced than that guy’s.

That’s right, this is the hero, this is Shen Xinmeng’s sister Yi Ran. She just needs someone to listen to her express her “maybe” grievances.
-
And someone will thank the brave man, and the little girl he saved at the border will remember the kindness in her heart.
