When Li, holding her head, ran all the way to Nanxing and cried with tears in her eyes.
Nanxing smiled and touched her head which seemed to have grown bigger.
"Does it hurt?"
"Ah."
"It hurts!"
"???"
Nanxing's answer made Li feel desperate for a moment.
——Yes.
She had suspected it a long time ago.
I actually picked up the child.
Nanxing's love for Yan Mo is obviously greater than hers.
Usually I always call out "Ai-chan, Ai-chan".
If there are any good things, I always give them to her first.
"Humph!"
Li curled her lips, looking quite unconvinced.
She couldn't stand being beaten.
30 What made her even more unbearable was that the person who beat her was the person she hated the most, Yanma Ai!
however.
"No."
It was as if he saw through Li's thoughts.
Nanxing took the stick of repentance from Yan Moai's hand, then aimed it at Yan Moai's head and hit it hard.
"Ok?"
Something that surprised Li happened.
She was sure that her father was so strong that he definitely did not hold back at all.
However, when the stick of repentance touched Yan Mo Ai's head, it suddenly became softer than a ball of cotton and could not cause any harm to Yan Mo Ai at all.
"And this is the characteristic of the [Repentance Stick]."
"The one who is really punishing you is not Xiao Ai, and certainly not me."
"It's the 'right' self in your heart."
……
The stick of repentance is the standard weapon of the Yamas.
Its function is to punish the person being judged according to the sins he or she has committed.
The greater the sins of the person being judged, the greater the damage they will receive.
But it must be pointed out.
The values of the Yamas are different from the universal values of ordinary people.
They have their own set of judging standards.
The details are very complicated, but it can be summed up in one sentence:
"Do what you have to do."
As for what should be done?
What the generals are supposed to do is to go into battle and kill the enemy.
What civil servants should do is to govern an area.
What human beings should do is to strive for progress.
What monsters are supposed to do is to keep eating people.
This is all “correct”.
Therefore, even though Nanxing once brought 200,000 people in Kyoto to death in order to kill Abe Haruaki.
But the Yamas still could not judge him.
"Because that's right!"
Faced with the emergency, Nanxing made the absolutely right choice.
——Although this choice may seem difficult to accept for others, there is nothing that can be done about it.
But, now.
Why did Li, who was also doing "what she thought was the right thing", suffer such a fierce attack?
She steals the balls from the cat monster, disrupts the ninjas' missions, and fights with Yan Mo Ai every day... Isn't this what she has always wanted to do?
"Something you've always wanted to do?"
Looking at the expression of aggrieved and puzzled expression on Li's face.
Nanxing sneered.
"I'm afraid even you can't convince yourself with such a stupid excuse."
"I……"
……
This is an obvious thing.
In those fourteen years of life that seem short but are actually very important.
As a mother, Kikyo has shaped a set of correct values for her daughter.
Li knows what to do and what not to do.
——Although sometimes, she deliberately goes against the grain and does things that she clearly shouldn't do.
This is normal, it's the rebellious period.
But the problem is that she can fool some people but not others.
Let’s take the simplest and most straightforward example.
Does she really hate Yanma Ai?
If you hate her, then who is that three-year-old girl who sticks to Yanmaai all day long and calls her "Sister, sister"?
Who was the six-year-old little girl who hugged her mother and cried bitterly when Enma Ai left Maple Village and settled in Edo?
Therefore, she did not hate Yanma Ai.
She just didn't know how to express the "love" in her heart to Yanma Ai.
That's why she deliberately sabotaged Yanma Ai's mission and made her feel distressed.
This is also Li's biggest problem.
She is born noble and is surrounded by love.
She lacks nothing.
However, as a result, they have lost the ability to actively seek "love".
Many times, she really didn't know how to express her feelings.
Therefore, communicating with "fists" has become the simplest method.
If she sees a cat is cute, she will knock it down first and then stroke the cat's head.
She thought the forehead protector with a frog pattern was very impressive, so she wanted to have a badge of her own.
Of course, it doesn’t matter.
If the cat monster bullies her, then so be it. Nanxing will go to Suwako to explain. It's no big deal.
What is really important is that Li Yi 433 must pay attention to this problem herself:
“Is it possible that you are not doing what you really want to do?”
"You're just doing something your mother doesn't want you to do."
"..."
……
Ok.
What Nanxing said makes a lot of sense.
Li was speechless.
But it’s not all her fault!
"Dad, you told me that I can do whatever I want!"
She retorted plausibly.
She had been troubled by this matter for a long time.
Because she also didn't know what this "do whatever you want" meant.
Therefore, she came up with the solution which was not a solution: “Whatever my mother doesn’t let me do, I must do it.”
——If she keeps doing what Kikyo asks her to do in a lawless state, then what is it called "lawlessness"?
Just call him a law-abiding good baby!
But now.
After the lesson of the repentance stick, Li also roughly understood this truth:
“Doing whatever you want is not freedom, but bondage.”
Because this means that Nanxing will completely put the power of choice into her own hands.
——She must be responsible for the path she has chosen! .
Chapter 9 Brown Sugar
"Abba."
"I understand everything."
"But next time if you have any problem, can you tell me directly?"
In the funeral home of Yan Mo Ai.
Holding her still buzzing head, Li's face showed an expression of wanting to cry but not being able to:
"We are father and daughter."
"Why do you have to go to so much trouble to torture me like this?"
She protested indignantly.
——At this moment, she has realized that she has been tricked by this seemingly honest old father and has been made a fool for a whole month.
“It seems quite funny when you think about it this way.”
She reflected carefully on what she had done in the past month.
I found myself unable to understand how she came up with the slogan "freedom and lawlessness" at that time.
"Could it be that I really only do things that my mother doesn't allow me to do?"
Li reflected on herself.
I found that she seemed to have a little bit of "impulsiveness".
But the problem now is.
If even that wasn't what she really wanted to do.
