Are you worthy enough to listen to what I, Shura Armor, have to say?

Xiangzi slapped the glass cover, but found that she could not break free from the cover no matter what. Just behind her, a white door slowly opened.

Walking out from it were Wakaba Mutsu with empty eyes and the Halloween witch.

Mu was led by the witch like a puppet and sat on a wooden horse. At least several televisions behind him immediately showed various pictures.

Some of them are like gang leaders, carrying baseball bats and beating people everywhere.

Some of them are wearing very strange clothes, playing death heavy metal on the stage, and then swinging the guitar to hit a lucky audience member randomly.

There are also Mu following the masked hero and Ultraman Tiga, holding a steel pipe and beating up aliens and monsters together

No matter which one, it is completely different from the usual Wakaba Mutsu, and it can even be said that the image is the opposite.

"What are you doing! Let Mu go!"

When Xiangzi saw the scene in front of her, she immediately panicked. Her intuition told her that the witch in front of her was going to do something bad to Mu, so she desperately slapped the glass cover, but there was no way to break it.

The witch ignored her, but slowly put her mouth next to Mu's ear and sucked something out of her ear.

Then, the images on the big screen went out one after another, and Mu's face became as lifeless as the children Xiangzi saw outside, and there was no longer the luster in his beautiful big eyes.

"What did you do!?" Xiangzi looked at the witch in front of her with bloodshot eyes. She knew that this guy must have done something absolutely intolerable to Mu.

Unlike Xiangzi, the witch was rubbing her stomach with a look of enjoyment, squinting her eyes and burping.

"It's so delicious... I never thought I could eat such a delicious dream on this planet."

"dream?"

"Yes, dream, I ate her dream"

"Who allowed you to do this?!"

A surge of rage rushed to Xiangzi's forehead, and the monster cells in her body multiplied rapidly at this moment, causing her body to undergo drastic deformation quickly.

"Give Mu back her dream!"

Twisted and ominous flesh and blood wrapped around Xiangzi's whole body, and his originally beautiful face turned into an angry look like a devil crawling out of the abyss of hell. Xiangzi, who was extremely angry, smashed the glass cover with a punch and rushed towards the witch.

To her surprise, the witch did not defend or dodge in the face of her attack. She just passed straight through the witch's body and came in front of Mu.

"Mu?"

Xiangzi didn't expect that she could contact her friend so easily. She hurriedly hugged Mu, but suddenly remembered her current form: "Wait a minute, this is..."

However, Mu's face showed no joy or sadness.

There is no life, no spirit, just like a complete puppet.

Xiangzi's heart, which had been beating violently, stopped for a moment. She hoped it was an illusion. Even if the expression on Mu's face was one of fear or disgust, she didn't want to see such an expression.

"Before children grow up, they are just like puppets, manipulated by adults. They don't need to have dreams."

The witch's body suddenly disappeared from the room, but her voice filled the entire room.

"Your logic is pure perversion!" Xiangzi clenched his fists and looked around, his eyes burning with anger. "The children's dreams, Mu's dreams, belong only to them. Give them back!"

"Give it back to them? What would happen even if I gave it back to them?" The witch laughed as if she had heard something funny.

"In the end, other adults will still try to stop them from realizing their wild dreams, just like I did, and force them to move forward according to their own plans!"

"If that's the case, what's the difference between them and dolls? If that's the case, what's the difference between their dreams and being eaten by me?"

"It's not the same!" Xiangzi retorted loudly.

"What's the difference?"

Xiangzi was stunned by this and defended himself, "Their families...their parents are doing this for their future...so that they can live a better life..."

"But then, having dreams would just be painful for them, wouldn't it?"

This simple sentence made Xiangzi, who had just been speaking confidently, suddenly stop and not know what to say.

The witch suddenly appeared behind Xiangzi and snapped her fingers.

The next moment, some memories that belonged only to Mu suddenly flowed into Xiangzi's mind.

………………

That was when Mu first met Xiangzi.

She had never had any time of her own and was manipulated like a puppet, but for the first time she had friends of her own.

She was as dull as a puppet, but she mustered up her courage and wanted to play with Xiangzi more often in her free time.

"Mu, let's take another music and dance class today."

The mother's gentle voice came, it was so gentle, but it had an irresistible weight.

Mu wanted to refuse, but what came out of his mouth was: "...Okay"

"My little Mu is the best~"

..............................

That was the first time her father took her on stage.

As a child prodigy, Mu was asked by the host what his dream was.

She knew it herself. She liked music, heavy metal, and wanted to be like the big brothers in gangster movies, fighting and killing everywhere.

However, looking at her father's expectant eyes, she had no way of expressing these dreams.

"I...want to be an actor or a ballet dancer...and the violin is my favorite instrument."

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

On the stage, my father's eyes were filled with joy.

Everyone was so happy, and it seemed as if she was the only one in the world, feeling extremely miserable.

........................

crychic's rehearsal room.

The sheet music was distributed.

The name is "Haruhi Shadow", and everyone seems very happy and likes this song very much.

Spring Shadow, it’s really a good song.

However, it's not Mu's type.

Mu, she doesn't like this type of music.

But no one asked for her opinion, not even her childhood sweetheart Xiang, or Soyo, who took care of everyone like a mother. No one asked for her opinion.

Obviously, everyone will ask for Deng's opinion...

Why? Is it because Deng has the courage not to sing?

Since she would play any song, no one ever asked her opinion?

crychic, it really feels like home.

It was exactly the same as Wakaba Mu's own home.

Because she would do whatever was assigned to her, her opinion was never asked.

A band like this... I've never felt happy.

........................

In reality, Shoko Toyokawa knelt on the ground, big tears flowing from her eyes and dripping onto the floor.

She had never hated herself so much as she did now.

Why didn't he try to understand? Why didn't he try to have a peaceful conversation? Wasn't she his most important half?

No, the truth is...

"Did you notice that?" The witch laughed, her face full of gloom. "It is precisely because she is so important to you that you subconsciously ignored her feelings."

"Just like her family, you ignore her because you know she will agree to anything you ask for."

"It's not your fault, Toyokawa Shoko, you earthlings are all like this, so it's not your fault."

"If there is anything wrong, it is the fault of her dreams, her thoughts, her emotions!"

"So, to save her, to save children like her, I took away their dreams!"

"Without dreams, they will no longer feel pain and can become puppets at the mercy of others, so they will never be hurt again!"

"........."

Xiangzi looked at Mu, who was pale, and smiled bitterly: "Perhaps, you are right."

If you abandon your dreams and emotions and turn yourself into a complete puppet, you will never be hurt again.

Without having wild fantasies, you can naturally walk the path that others expect.

The witch waved her hands and smiled eerily, as if she was ready to eat up Xiangzi's dream.

"but......"

Xiangzi stood up and looked at the witch in front of him stubbornly.

"Because you are right, because you are correct, I will never let you go."

“We humans may not be like this now, but we humans will progress, move forward, and pass on the right things to the next generation.”

"Children today are being hurt, so when they become parents and new adults in the future, their children won't be hurt."

"This is progress, and the driving force behind this progress is the dreams of these children!"

"I won't deny our humanity, my past mistakes, but I will never let you take away the children's path to the future. I will fight for this, for the children, and for Mu's dream!"

"so......"

Xiangzi stood firmly in front of Mu and whispered, "Mu, please watch carefully."

"My...reproduction!"

Xiangzi's body emitted a high temperature wave, and the entire interior of the house was burning with red flames.

In Mu's eyes, the existence of Toyokawa Shoko put her feelings, heart, and everything into the flames.

Then, produce again!

Volume 17: Chapter : Save Me, Masked Hero

On the ground, a huge, charred and twisted figure appeared above the city. Her body was covered with charred marks as if it had been roasted by fire. There were two wings on her back that should have been beautiful, but they were burned by the flames and only the skeleton was left, looking extremely creepy.

Not to mention being a hero, if we just talk about appearance, most monsters are much better looking than her.

However, beneath that ugly exterior, Xiangzi's beating heart must be more dazzling than anyone else's.

But, because of this...

"Oh, I want to eat here too!"

A strong appetite burst out of the witch's eyes, and her body quickly grew larger, turning into the strange alien that Xiangzi saw at that time.

On an open space in the suburbs, two giant warriors confronted each other.

One is a pitch-black monster made up of a burnt skeleton, broken wings, and a hideous exoskeleton.

One is a witch with a strange appearance, playing ominous music all over her body, and feeding on human dreams.

In the eyes of the humans around them, neither of these two guys seemed like a good thing.

Fortunately, since the frequent monster outbreaks, everyone in area K has long been accustomed to the appearance of various monsters. As soon as they see a monster, they quickly run to the underground shelter. In the blink of an eye, there is no one around.

“Hehehehehehe…”

The light on the witch's face flickered up and down, and she jumped in front of the monster that Xiangzi had transformed into, jumping and throwing a punch.
