After a while, Lux looked ahead and asked slowly.

"Is this okay to say?"

"Yes, it's not a secret."

She nodded and said, "My father's term of office will end this year, and the next president of the Free Federation will basically be Aslan's father. No one can compete with him."

Zhao Yang asked: "So Aslan will be very busy in the next few years?"

"Yes, that's why I wanted her to stay with Kira for a while longer."

Lux blew a breath into her hands, rubbed them and whispered:

"In the first eight years, she devoted her time to me and the army. And in the future, she will also contribute to her father's career.

Aslan's father is a radical. If he succeeds in launching an attack on the demon world, he will most likely send Aslan to the battlefield to boost morale. It will be very dangerous then. If things go wrong, maybe..."

"I see. No wonder you're like this."

Zhao Yang nodded.

This kind of political issue has always been troublesome.

Regardless of Aslan's own wishes, as long as her father becomes president, she will be drawn into the vortex.

"Also, although Aslan herself is willing... the reason why she came to be my guard and accompanied me to perform at sea every year is because of her father's order."

Lux couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Zhao Yang felt that Aslan's father was a bit too much.

Not only did he send his young daughter to military training, he also went so far as to send her to dangerous places.

...No wonder her father has such a high reputation in the Free Federation’s army. He is a ruthless man.

Lux's words were actually very clear.

The reason why Aslan was sent to be Lux's bodyguard was because her father didn't want Lux to take all the credit.

Even though he knew there was danger, he still sent his daughter over.

This is completely different from the nature of Lux coming to the battlefield voluntarily.

"I remember when I was a kid, when Aslan's mother was still alive, her father wasn't like this."

Lux sighed: "But, ever since her mother was killed by a demon..."

"It's those demons again."

Zhao Yang looked towards the direction of Old Tokyo, and then looked at Lux:

"In the final analysis, there is still no power. Only when you are strong enough can you get rid of these things."

“It’s an idealistic idea, but it sounds great.”

Lux smiled.

She was not moved by Zhao Yang's words.

This is easy to say, but difficult to achieve.

"Besides, this is something that only extraordinary people like you, Mr. Zhao, can do. Aslan and I are not extraordinary people."

When Lux said this, she couldn't help but feel envious.

Even though it seems like there are more extraordinary people in New Tokyo than dogs, in fact, extraordinary people are still very rare in the world.

"As long as you continue to meditate, you may become a transcendent."

Magical power continues to flow in from the demon world, transforming the earth and the human body. In the foreseeable future, there will be more and more extraordinary people.

...Although that is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

But this was the only way Zhao Yang could comfort her.

He and Lux ​​had just met, and he wouldn't tell her about her abilities just because she was pretty.

So I can only say this in a bland way.

Lux shook her head: "Let's not talk about this... Let's talk about another topic."

Zhao Yang asked curiously: "What topic?"

She smiled and said:

"It's what Rem said, about your great heroic deeds in standing up against the demons. I'm curious about what you thought at the time.

I always admire people like you. Can you share with me your thoughts at that time? "

Zhao Yang felt helpless when he heard her say this.

Rem's exaggeration caused him a lot of pressure.

He said seriously: "You overestimate me. I am not as great as she said."

"how come."

Lux shook her head. "Even if Rem's words were a bit exaggerated, your actions are respectable enough. You don't need to be so humble."

81 First Time

Zhao Yang did not agree with Lux's evaluation of him and said:

"I did that at the time because I had no other options. If there were other options, I can't guarantee that I would do the same thing again."

Lux shook her head:

"Why assume that? The fact that you made that choice then doesn't change because of what you say now.

You are trying to use a hypothesis that has not happened to refute the reality that has already happened. I think this is unreasonable."

"Maybe... I just want to tell you not to think too highly of me or have too many expectations. I'm not like you. I have no interest in carrying such lofty things."

"Mr. Zhao, you overestimate me. I came to the battlefield to sing only because I felt that it was the right thing to do. I don't think I am noble."

"Your awareness is just like that of a saint."

Zhao Yang shook his head: "But to be honest, I was similar to you when I was a kid. I always dreamed of becoming a hero.

But when I grew up, I knew I couldn’t be one.”

"why?"

Zhao Yang said:

“Because I know that I value the people around me more than the people of the world.

In other words, I value private interests more than public interests. If I have to choose between the two, I will most likely give up the public interest and protect what I value.

This idea is undoubtedly selfish and does not conform to the public's expectations of a hero.

When I realized this, I knew I could never be a hero, so I gave up this childhood idea very early on.

The reason I took that action last time was because there was no conflict of interest and I was carried away at the time. "

Lux smiled and shook her head: "You are too modest."

"...Actually, compared to me, I think you are more amazing, Ms. Lacus."

Zhao Yang was in high spirits and talked to Lux about topics that they would not normally discuss.

She asked doubtfully, "Me?"

"Yes, it's amazing that she dared to sing in such a place at such a young age. I definitely wouldn't do it if it were me."

Zhao Yang shrugged, then said: "But I also have some doubts, I wonder if Miss Lux can help me solve them."

"Please say."

"You come to the battlefield to encourage the extraordinary people and soldiers. In a broader sense, you do it for the world and for the people.

And your actions in the past two days are for your good friends.

This kind of behavior for others is undoubtedly very touching. But I really wonder, when will you act for yourself? "

Zhao Yang touched his chin and said:

“I once heard someone say, how can someone who doesn’t even love himself love others?

Assuming that this statement makes sense, if you don't think about yourself, are you really thinking about others?"

Lux was not stumped by his question. She smiled and said:

"It's not a complicated question. I just want to see everyone and Aslan happy. I'll be happy if they're happy.

So by thinking about them, I am actually thinking about myself.”

“…I express my admiration.”

Zhao Yang raised his hands in surrender.

Lux couldn't help but chuckle when she saw him being so artificial.

But then she said:

"I envy you a little bit. I think it's a very valuable courage to be able to speak out about your selfish side and admit your problems in front of others."

"Is there a possibility that it's because I'm more shameless?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhao, you are so humorous."

"Hahaha, actually you don't have to call me Mr., just call me by my name. We've had this heart-to-heart talk, and we're already friends."

"Okay, Zhao Yang. You can just call me by my name."

After Lux finished speaking, she said thoughtfully:

"However, after seeing your carefree attitude, I have some different ideas. Maybe I can be a little more selfish.

After talking to you, I think I understand why Aslan has such an attitude. She must be thinking about what you just asked me, even though I don't care. "

“I think it’s better to pay attention.”

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Being too hard on yourself will make people who like you feel uncomfortable. For example, Miss Aslan... or, for example, a fan like me?"

"Ah, Zhao Yang, are you my fan?"

Lux showed a surprised look.

"Of course, there are so many people on earth who like you, and one more person like me wouldn't make a difference."

"I am honored."

She showed a happy look: "This is the first time a fan said this to me."

"No way, didn't anyone tell you about your concert?"

"Well... although I have held concerts, I have never been able to interact closely with fans due to my status."

"No, Rem is also your fan."

"She didn't say she liked me as directly as you did."

Lux paused when she said she liked it, and her cheeks turned a little red.

She suddenly felt that the word was a little ambiguous, so she lowered her head embarrassedly and buried her face in the scarf again.

Zhao Yang realized that no matter how high her status was or how many achievements she had made, she was actually just a girl under 20 years old.

Moreover, she has had zero scandals since her debut and has never even worked with a man.

It was the first time a man said such words to her, so she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

But he clearly understood that this did not mean that she had any feelings for him.

So Zhao Yang didn't mention this matter much. After all, their relationship was not as casual as that between him and Fate.

He returned to the main business and said:

"Lacus, you should have something you want to do, right? Why don't you tell me? I can help you think about it. If it's suitable, you can do it tomorrow. I think Miss Aslan won't say anything."

He became concerned about the friendship between his client and his good friend.

"Hmm... something you want to do."
