"Woooooa ...
With a scream, the girl with long pink hair fell from the air, and Fang Zheng took a step back, then stretched out his hand and steadily caught the falling girl.
“Ah…thank you…”
The girl in Fang Zheng's arms was stunned for a moment, then gave him an embarrassed smile.
"I'm sorry, I was so rude."
"Nothing, I just didn't expect such a beautiful and lovely lady to fall from the sky."
Facing the girl's apology, Fang Zheng also smiled, and looking at Fang Zheng's smile, the girl's fair cheeks couldn't help but blush.
"Well, if it's all right, I'll leave first."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng put the girl on the ground and was about to turn around and leave. However, at this moment, the pink-haired girl seemed to have thought of something and called Fang Zheng.
"Um... Sir, please wait a moment!"
"Hmm? Anything else?"
“Um… yeah, that’s it!”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, the girl hesitated for a moment, then clapped her hands as if she had thought of something.
"I'm being chased by bad guys. If possible, could you please take me away from here?"
"Being chased by bad guys?"
Hearing the girl's answer, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully at the pink-haired girl in front of him, and then nodded.
"Yes, of course no problem, miss."
Just like that, Fang Zheng and this "Lin Daiyu" who dropped from the sky began to wander around the block.
"My name is Yuffie, may I ask what your name is...?"
"Fang Zheng."
"Mr. Fang Zheng? You are not Japanese, are you?"
"I am from the Chinese Federation and I am here for sightseeing."
Fang Zheng quickly gave the introduction - that's what was written on his fake ID anyway.
"Oh, sorry, did I take up your time then?"
"No."
Facing Youfei's apology, Fang Zheng shook his head.
"In fact, my sightseeing here has almost come to an end, and..."
"and……?"
"It's much better to be able to walk with such a lovely lady than to walk aimlessly on the street alone."
"ah……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's undisguised praise, You Fei couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, you are being too direct..."
"I just told the truth."
Hearing this, Youfei blinked and gave Fang Zheng a sly smile.
"So, Mr. Fang Zheng is willing to save me because I'm beautiful?"
"Of course."
“What if I’m ugly?”
"Then I will get you to a safe place and then politely say goodbye and leave."
"...Don't you think it's a bit too much to judge people by their appearance?"
Facing Fang Zheng's answer, You Fei pouted in dissatisfaction, however, Fang Zheng did not show any remorse at all.
"Judging people by appearance is the first step. Humans are visual animals after all, and being pretty is a plus in itself."
“But doesn’t it depend on the inner performance?”
"The inner self is something that both parties need to get to know each other before they can understand each other. Before that, if you can't show the attractive part, then no matter what the inner self is, it will not attract attention."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at You Fei.
"If when you jumped down just now, you met a person who was shabby, fat, with greasy hair and wearing thick glasses, staring at your body with obscene eyes, and then asked you with a grin, 'Miss, do you need help?', how would you react?"
“Woo…”
You Fei frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then showed Fang Zheng an innocent and natural smile.
"I would say 'I'm sorry, I can't help you with anything, but I have something urgent to do, so I'll excuse you.'"
"Don't you need to understand the other person's inner self? Maybe that fat guy is actually a kind-hearted person who just wants to help you?"
"Please let me think about it again."
At this point, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then Yufei burst out laughing.
"...Fufufu, Mr. Fang Zheng is such a strange person."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, I have never met a person like Mr. Fang Zheng. Normally, I would not say these things in front of others, but in front of Mr. Fang Zheng, I always feel like I can say anything... I always feel that Mr. Fang Zheng is like a father..."
"…Do I look that old?"
"Oh, that's not what I meant."
Yufei waved her hands in panic, then lowered her head embarrassedly.
"What I mean is that I feel safe around Mr. Fang Zheng. No matter what he says, I don't have to worry. He gives me a very reliable feeling..."
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Yuffie, but I am a little disappointed."
"Eh? Why? Did I say something rude?"
"Because if Miss Yuffie sees me as her father, then we can't be lovers, right?"
“Hey…Hey?!”
Hearing this, Youfei didn't react at first, but the next moment, her face suddenly turned red.
"Wait, wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, this is a bit too fast. After all, we just met..."
"Don't worry, Miss Yuffie, I was just joking."
After teasing the beautiful girl in front of him, Fang Zheng felt much more relaxed. Look, this is life, walking on the street with a pretty cute girl, talking about irrelevant things, flirting with her, eating, sleeping... Hey, life is like this, it's so perfect.
"Really? Please don't joke like that, but I was really scared."
Yufei complained unhappily, then sighed. At this moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She didn't know whether it was disappointment or regret, or maybe...
"Get out, District 11 residents!"
However, at this moment, a sudden angry shout was heard, interrupting their conversation. They raised their heads and looked forward, only to see several Britannians surrounding a resident of District 11 and pushing and shoving him.
"What are you doing here? You bastard from a defeated nation!"
"What did you say? Britannia's dog! I'll fight you!!"
However, the resident of District 11 obviously could not stand such insults and soon rushed forward, and the two sides started fighting.
"ah……"
Seeing this, You Fei wanted to go up and stop it, but was quickly grabbed by Fang Zheng's shoulders.
"Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"It's better not to go."
"Huh? Why?"
"If you go over there, it will only hurt you."
"But we can't just ignore it like this... Stop it now!"
As he spoke, Youfei rushed forward again, came into the crowd, and stopped the fight between the two sides.
"Don't you think this is too much?"
"Huh? It was obviously this bastard who attacked us first! How did it become our fault?"
However, the Britannians obviously did not agree with what Yuffie said, but considering that she was Britannian, they still loosened their hands and stepped back.
"These people from District 11 are simply ungrateful scum! The Governor has already agreed to negotiate a contract with them, but they actually dared to kidnap the Governor at the signing ceremony and made such outrageous demands! People like them are a waste of food!"
"That's right, ungrateful dogs, we should have killed them all in the first place!"
The leading man said this viciously, and kicked the resident of District 11 who was lying on the ground, then spat at him.
"Forget it, let's go!"
As they spoke, everyone turned away grumbling, while Yufei hurried over to the man and held out her hand.
"Are you okay..."
However, what Youfei didn't expect was that when she reached out her hand, the other party opened her hand with a "snap".
"Don't come near me, you Britannian bitch!"
"Why?"
Yufei, who was pushed away, stared blankly at the scene in front of him, but the resident of District 11 slowly stood up, his blood-stained face filled with twisted hatred and anger.
"I will kill you all. One day I will kill all of you Britannians! Kill them all! No one will be left alive!!"
While muttering something that sounded like a curse, the man turned around like a ghost and disappeared into the crowd.
Yu Fei sat on the ground in a daze, watching the man's disappearing back. At this moment, Fang Zheng came over with his hands in his pockets.
"So I said, even if you come, there is no point, it will just hurt each other."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, You Fei stood up silently.
"Mr. Fang Zheng... is it possible that peace is impossible?"
"That's it for now."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"To them, Britannia is the invader and they are the victims. You were the one who started the war. You invaded their country, defeated them, and took away their name and everything. Therefore, the kindness you showed is meaningless to them."
"Nothing...meaning?"
"Yes, that is just the pity of the victor to the loser. In fact, even if the agreement is signed, things will not change at all. Because everything they have is 'given' by you, not 'fought' by themselves. And since you can 'give', then of course you can 'take it back'. It's that simple."
"Is there no solution?"
"Of course."
Having said this, Fang Zheng smiled coldly.
"After a hundred years, when all the people from District 11 who participated in the war are dead, their descendants may accept this reality and their identities. But it is only a possibility. Otherwise, we have to... completely destroy them."
"Is there no other way?"
"War is like this. Once the chain of hatred begins, it can never be eliminated until one side is eliminated."
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's answer, You Fei was silent for a moment, then she seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Fang Zheng.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, could you accompany me to Shinjuku?"
