After this little episode, the three of them continued their patrol - or rather, their tour - in the North District.
In fact, they are all the same. You see, in TV dramas, when the emperor goes to the south of the Yangtze River, doesn’t he just eat, drink, and date beautiful women?
During this process, Sandra complained a lot to Fang Zheng. It was obvious that she was full of dissatisfaction with Mandela and the people of "Salamander". Her sister Sarah left "Salamander" as the heir, and her brother could not inherit the position of leader because of a congenital problem with his horn, so she had to take her turn. No one expected her, and no one believed in her. Sandra also thought about changing all this through her own efforts and changing other people's views of her.
But even so, no one in the entire "Salamander" still took Sandra seriously. Although she fought very hard during the last attack by the Demon King, everyone still just treated her as a child - but in fact, she was indeed a child.
But didn't Sandra have any complaints at all?
The elder sister abandoned her responsibilities on her own, and she never thought about the future of this community. As a man, the elder brother would be praised no matter what the result was as long as he showed hard work. And what did she get? Even if she worked hard, no one would think she should perform well. It should be said that no one had any expectations of her in the first place, so what was the point of her doing all this?
The more Sandra spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and she even started to cry in the end.
"Well, don't be so sad, little one."
Fang Zheng reached out and touched Sandra's little head.
"At least I will stand by your side. Of course, I can also give you a suggestion."
"suggestion?"
"That's right."
Looking at Sandra who wiped her tears and looked up at him curiously, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and reached out his hand.
"loose the temper."
"hair……?"
"Yes, you are still a child. What's wrong with losing your temper? As you said, Sarah left the community and abandoned her responsibilities. She never thought about what kind of situation you would face. Mandela is the same. He cares more about the community than you. So you shouldn't swallow your anger. The more you suppress yourself, the more they think there is nothing wrong with their actions... Do you know? There is a saying that the crying child gets the milk, which means that if you don't show it yourself, then others will not really understand your thoughts."
"But……"
"What do you want to complain about? Are you really angry? Then just speak out loudly and tell your subordinates in the community directly whether you regard me as your leader or not. If you all think I am not good enough, then I will quit!"
“But, but…”
"Listen up, Sandra."
Fang Zheng sat on the chair, staring into the girl's eyes.
"Responsibility is mutual. If you take responsibility for the community, then in return, the community needs to pay the price, which is to obey your orders. If they are unwilling to obey your orders, but want you to take responsibility, then they are arrogant, stupid, greedy, and ignorant. This kind of community is not worth your protection. Don't think that you are the heroine in a romance novel, and you are self-admiring like Lin Daiyu, thinking that you are pitiful for complaining about yourself. Sympathy will not bring any results. Do you hope that you will work hard and get a comment of "how pitiful" in the end?"
“…”
Sandra shook her head desperately. This was obviously not what she wanted.
"So you have to stand up and speak your mind to them loudly. Don't worry, I will stand by you."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng touched Sandra's little head again, and the latter burst into laughter and nodded heavily.
"Yeah! I understand!"
After this, Sandra seemed to have finally let go of her inner uneasiness and began to enjoy the street festival to her heart's content. Like children of the same age, she walked around the street with Fang Zheng and Xiao Yan with a smile on her face, and from time to time introduced them to the artworks in the exhibition gallery and the history of their community - from this, it can be seen that Sandra has indeed paid a lot to be qualified for the position of leader.
However, just as everyone walked out of the corridor, Sandra suddenly raised her head, looked at the roof, and then she stretched out her hand.
"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, over there! That's the demon king I saw before!"
"oh?"
Fang Zheng and Homura Akemi looked in the direction of Sandra's finger, and indeed found a tall man standing on the roof not far away. He was wearing a cloak with the word "混" written on it. The man seemed to have noticed the gazes of Sandra and the others, turned around and smiled at them, then suddenly jumped and ran forward.
"I'll deal with him, Homura, you stay here and protect Sandra."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng disappeared into thin air in a flash.
"Wait, I'm going too!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sandra also quickly jumped up and landed on the roof. However, when she looked around, she was surprised to find that both Fang Zheng and the black shadow were gone.
It's like this again...
Sandra lowered her head, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Everyone treats themselves as children rather than class rulers. In theory, isn't it the responsibility of the class rulers to stand up to the devil?
Just when Sandra was overwhelmed with sadness, suddenly, the world in front of her eyes turned black and white.
At the same time, a voice sounded in her ears.
“How pitiful…”
Along with the sound, a cloaked monkey appeared in front of Sandra and stared at her.
"you……!"
"How pitiful! You are still at the age where you really want to act like a spoiled brat to your parents, but you end up encountering something like this..."
However, facing the alert Sandra, the ape simply walked towards her with a sympathetic expression.
"Deep down in your heart you want to live a free life, but because of those stupid people you can only put on a forced smile. You must be very depressed. In fact, you are also very afraid of fighting the Demon King, right? This is natural, after all, you are only eleven years old..."
"You... are the demon king? Are you responsible for the disappearance of those children?"
"That's right. Your consciousness will be devoured by me and become a part of me. This black and white will be the last scenery you see..."
As he spoke, the monkey stretched out his hand towards Sandra.
But at this moment.
“Puff!!”
A pitch-black sword emerged from behind and pierced through the ape's body.
"Mr. Fang Zheng! Those children are in the body of this demon king!!"
"OK, I heard you!"
As Fang Zheng spoke, the next moment, a dazzling red flame suddenly erupted, dyeing the world that had originally turned into black and white back into a bright red.
“This… this is…”
Looking at the scene in front of him, the devil widened his eyes in surprise and stared at Sandra in amazement, while Fang Zheng's voice came from behind him.
"Sure enough, the trick of luring someone into a trap is still effective. I guessed it a long time ago. If your target is a child, then Sandra or Xiaoyan must be your target, so I deliberately played this trick..."
At this point, Fang Zheng gave Sandra a thumbs up.
“Well done!”
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng!"
In response to Fang Zheng's praise, Sandra also smiled. As for the Devil of Chaos, he looked at Sandra in amazement.
"You...were you acting just now? How is that possible? I can feel the loneliness and solitude, as well as the anger and depression in your heart..."
"I am the ruler of the class."
At this moment, Sandra looked at the devil again.
"If I can't even do this, then how can I face the Demon King? To be honest, I was really scared and confused at that moment, but... as a class ruler, I can't just do nothing because of fear!"
"Haha... I didn't expect that..."
Hearing Sandra's answer, the devil's eyes became shaken.
"I never thought that I would be my own prey..."
"If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. Don't you agree, Mr. Monkey? Please die quickly."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and turned it vigorously.
The next moment, screams were heard.
“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Flames spurted out from the body of the Demon King of Chaos, and several cracks immediately appeared around his body. Then, dazzling and scorching light flashed from them and then exploded.
The next moment, flames soared into the sky.
Then when the flames disappeared again, the original devil had disappeared, and only a few unconscious children fell to the ground. After confirming this, Fang Zheng put away the sword in his hand and looked at Sandra.
"Well done, Sandra. I was a little worried before whether you noticed the hint I gave you."
"I was really a little sad at first, but I knew Mr. Fang Zheng was not that kind of person. You must have other ideas, so when that devil appeared in front of me, I knew what to do."
Having said that, Sandra glanced behind her.
"And I also felt Miss Homura's gaze, so I dared to do this."
"Anyway, you have shown your ability as a class ruler."
Having said that, Fang Zheng smiled and nodded to Sandra.
"So……"
"boom!!"
However, before he could finish his words, an explosion suddenly sounded from the other side of the city.
