Childhood Anime Grand Tour

Meanwhile, Sheeta returned to her room, standing by the window, staring blankly outside. The cross bars on the glass window indicated that this was still a prison. Ha! In truth, Laputa was a prison too, only more glamorous!

Muska gently placed the necklace on Sheeta's chest. The necklace originally belonged to Sheeta, but at this moment it felt as if Muska had given it to her.

"Stop thinking about things that are destined to pass away! Instead, quickly recite the incantation to awaken the levitation stone! As long as you keep your promise, you too will be free!"

When talking about freedom, Muska leaned down, his tone still gentle and persuasive, unlike Sheeta, who had long since given up freedom for the sake of her ideals in Laputa.

Hida's expression remained forlorn. She murmured to herself:

"Baru!!"

After calling out Pazu's name, Sheeta couldn't hold back her tears again. For Pazu's safety, she had to bear this pain alone, and people's emotions are not shared. Seeing that Sheeta still couldn't cheer up, Muska didn't rush, but slowly retreated.

Night fell quickly, and Balu returned to his town. Little Maggie, herding her piglets out, happened to see the forlorn Balu.

"Mom, it's Pazu-nii-san back!!"

The master's wife quickly came out, and upon seeing that it really was Balu, she immediately went over worriedly.

"Baru, are you alright? We were so worried! You've been missing since yesterday!!"

Although she's called his teacher's wife, over the years she's come to regard Balu as her son. In the past, Balu always greeted his teacher's wife with overwhelming enthusiasm.

But at this moment, Balu lowered his head and didn't even glance at his master's wife.

Where is that girl?

Mentioning Sheeta would have been fine, but the moment Sheeta was mentioned, Pazu, who had been numb, was suddenly filled with pain, though he concealed it well, and immediately said:

"Please don't ask!"

As he spoke, he ran towards his home!

"Hey! Balu! Balu!"

No matter how much his master's wife called out to him, Balu still did not turn around.

"Maggie! Go find your father!"

He was about to chase after her, but at that moment, Balu's master was already standing at the door, looking at his beloved and saying:

"Alright!! Let the child calm down. That girl is no ordinary person; both sky pirates and the military are after her. He'll come to his senses!!"

Balu's mentor was once a passionate young man, and although he is still passionate now, adults always think this way. Just like his strike and resistance, he eventually returned to the mine.

"Honey, I told you before, let this child move in with us! That way..."

"Hehe, don't worry, he's just a kid! It'll pass, he'll be back tomorrow!! Maybe he'll even have the courage to chase after him?"

Clearly, the master and mistress have different educational philosophies. Although Master Balu is just a small miner, men all yearn for the stars and the sea. He himself can no longer pursue that dream, but Balu still has hope. He can't be trapped in this squalid valley forever, can he?

Clearly, although the master did not understand the reason for Balu's pain, he knew what that pain felt like—a desperate struggle, a fight with no way to turn the tide.

Like sand at the bottom of a river, though it may aspire to reach the sea, the journey is arduous. Though it perseveres, there are many worries. Many people drift and sink at the bottom of the river, thinking that by smoothing out their rough edges, they can move forward better.

But when you encounter your true calling, you realize you can never stop! There's no such thing as turning the tide; there are only the surging, ever-flowing waves! The mighty river flows on and on, never ceasing. When it's all gone, what remains of this world, indistinguishable from the chaos of the waves?

But is that really the case? Was it all just a dream?

Cowards are trapped in their dreams, unable to escape! Resilience allows one to abandon beautiful illusions and bravely face cruel reality.

Only true idealists dare to say no to this world—that it shouldn't be this way, and cannot be this way! Only they dare to turn this dream into reality and dedicate themselves to its realization!

There are many such people, especially among the Chinese people, because as the saying goes, "Heaven's movement is ever vigorous; so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement."

Balu has this ideal, and although his body and soul are being tormented at this moment, he will eventually pull through!

Balu tripped and fell again while running, but this time he didn't cover his head. Instead, he stood up, dusted himself off, and started walking up the hillside.

Balu put his hands in his pockets, not living up to the youthful passion, but like an adult, savoring that pain alone, unable to forget it, unable to let it go.

The line between adolescence and adulthood is not very clear. Some say it's about whether you can handle things, others say it's about whether you know how to make choices. Ultimately, it's about the improvement of your mindset.

But in my opinion, it's about whether you can let go of the pain. Adults have fixed mindsets; they can swallow all the pain, but they can't digest it, and it just accumulates more and more!

To put it bluntly, adults who lack freedom are not free enough in their souls and consciousness.

When we were kids, we'd sometimes argue and even fight with our friends, but within a few days, we'd both forget about it and remain good friends. But adults are different; their digestive systems are messed up! Ultimately, it's not that they can't reconcile with others, but that they can't reconcile with themselves!

Here, I hope everyone can make peace with themselves. Those friendships won't be forgotten. Perhaps it was a slip of the tongue, or perhaps you didn't pay attention at the time, but the other person did. So there's no right or wrong. I hope we can apologize first; it's really not a big deal.

Let's not allow our hearts to become as rigid as Pazu's, turning our once vibrant and passionate youth into lifeless and dying individuals!

And that's exactly what happened to Balu now. His soul felt like it had fallen into an abyss. If no one pulled him out of it, he would probably turn to the dark side!

But there is a group of people in this world who cherish freedom and insist on living life to the fullest. They are not tolerated by the mainstream world and have done many outrageous things, but they never care about the opinions of others.

These people are neither good nor bad; they are simply themselves, without hiding or feigning morality! You should now know who I'm referring to!

Balu was just about to go inside!

boom! !

The door was kicked open from the inside. Fortunately, Balu was agile and dodged the door, but a pair of large hands came out, grabbed Balu's shoulders, and pulled him inside.

"Ah! What are you going to do?"

Baru recognized the other person; it was Henry who had made the move and quickly tied Baru up!

"Kid, behave yourself!"

Dora, on the other hand, sat in the main seat and began to eat heartily from the meat on the table.

"I hope you'll kindly allow me to use this space, young man!!"

"Still being polite at a time like this!" Baru was furious. He charged towards Dora, but Henry pulled him back hard from behind, sending him flying back to the stake. Then Henry wrapped him up again, binding Baru so tightly that he couldn't move!

"You bastard, get out of my house!"

Dora, however, was not there, and said in a mocking tone:

"You're really arrogant, kid. You can't even protect a little girl and you still dare to talk so big!!"

As she spoke, Dora broke open a large lobster. It must be said that whenever Dora appears, she exudes a powerful aura, unlike Musca's imposing, cold, and lifeless presence.

Dora exudes a vibrant aura, which can be seen from her pink pigtails. Even at this age, she still maintains a youthful spirit.

How to put it? Musca's aura is always from a top-down, bird's-eye view, while Dora is always respectful of others. If the military saw Balu shouting, they would definitely slap him twice, but Dora didn't.

"you..."

Balu was filled with hatred! Dora, you really know how to play tricks on people; your words hit Balu right where it hurts, leaving him speechless!

Seeing Balu's expression, Dora showed no sign of backing down and immediately mocked him:

"You little rascal, you came back all slinking away, did you just abandon someone's daughter?"

"No, you're lying!! You're all bad guys!!"

Baru could only rage helplessly. After all, what was done was done, and he was already in enough pain. Dora then added insult to injury, and his soul defenses were on the verge of collapse!

But Dora wasn't there to break down his defenses. Seeing this, she immediately said angrily:

"You must have listened to those scoundrels' sweet talk and left that girl alone to face danger? Do you have any manliness at all?"

When the topic of masculinity came up, Dora slammed her fist on the table, causing the food around her to scatter.

Dora was genuinely angry! Although she was a sky pirate, she was still a woman, and even more so, a young girl—yes, she was a young girl! How could she not be angry for Sheeta when she saw Pazu acting so pathetic?

When a woman gives her whole life for you, she may leave, but she will still wait! ---- "Ah Fei's Woman"

"Don't be so arrogant, aren't you guys also after Sheeta?"

Balu was finally emboldened by Dora's words and immediately retorted, while Dora spoke with righteous indignation;

"Of course, what air pirate in the world doesn't love money!"

As she spoke, she plunged the knife in her hand directly into the steak next to her. Of course, Dora also had her own ideals, or rather, beliefs, which was the way of survival for sky pirates.

Does she truly love money? Not necessarily; most of the money she plundered went to helping the poor! Does she love power? Obviously not, after all, the military recruited them more than once, and she was the head of the family.

Reputation? Not at all. She's a sky pirate, what does reputation matter? You'll find that Dora really doesn't care about anything. Her so-called dreams all belong to other people. Other people love money, so she loves money too.

But she's not a miser who spends money as soon as she gets it, regardless of the cost. But can you say she has no dreams?

Just like today's young people, we dream of making money, and making money makes us happy! But making money is about serving people; after all, we're not sky pirates, we're beasts of burden!

We make money in the service industry, exchanging our services for money. Can you say your dream is to serve others? To lick someone's boots? Of course, if you have such a dream, then I truly admire you, after all, not everyone is Wang Ziru.
