Zongman: I'm in Tokyo and just want to open a restaurant peacefully

Perhaps he hadn't noticed the look he was giving Illya.

The eyes that used to be as firm as a rock now seemed to be softening.

"That berserker you're talking about...does he look like me?"

Hercules couldn't help but ask.

Illya smiled softly.

Her petite body was like a lonely butterfly fluttering in the deserted land.

Although she was smiling, an indescribable loneliness and sadness emanated from her.

This feeling made everyone in the store sigh with regret.

Hercules even frowned.

Although he did not recognize Illya in front of him.

But for some reason, when Illya showed this expression at that moment, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

This made the hero's fist clench unconsciously...

"Well, Hercules and Berserker are very similar..."

Illya said with a light smile on his face.

Hercules nodded slightly.

"If it's anything like me, I'd really like to meet this berserker."

Hercules said calmly.

Illya's eyes lit up and a small smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"If possible, I can introduce Hercules to the berserker."

Illya's words only made Hercules nod quietly.

Although he was curious.

But after all, it was the first time he met Illya.

It’s better to keep it plain.

Yuto Kamisaka has been watching the conversation between Hercules and Illya quietly.

Although he was confused by Illya's performance just now.

But from an outsider's perspective, Ilia and Hercules have a unique sense of harmony.

There's such a big difference in size.

However, it seems that they inexplicably give people a father-daughter feeling...

"Um...Illya, would you like something to eat?"

Kamisaka Yuto took the initiative to ask.

Illya shook his head.

"Thank you, manager, but I already had dinner and I'm not hungry now."

Illya is very polite.

Although she was only wearing pajamas, her manners made the other person look like a little princess in formal attire.

Yuto Kamisaka nodded slightly and said "hmm" without asking any more questions.

He could still see it.

Illya was obviously more interested in Hercules at this moment.

"Hercules, can you tell me your story?"

When Illya asked, Hercules nodded.

Then he began to tell his own story again, including the twelve trials he had just mentioned.

But this time the tone of voice was much softer.

It was as if he was telling his daughter about his glorious father.

Gentle and extremely reliable.

Ilia listened to Hercules' story with surprise and joy on his face.

"Hercules is truly a remarkable hero..."

Illya's words were so profound that Kamisaka Yuto thought deeply.

She looks like just a little girl, but she gives people the maturity of an adult.

"I just completed the task I was supposed to complete. It's nothing special."

Hercules said, shaking his head slightly.

"No, Hercules protected many people from those monsters and helped many weak people. Hercules is a hero, a great hero!"

Illya raised his finger and said with some dissatisfaction but also a little pride.

Hercules was slightly stunned, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Tell me what you want."

In response to Illya's words, he decided to go along with him.

"Hehe~~"

Illya smiled a little smugly.

Her smile is like the lonely and cold crescent moon in the sky. Although it is beautiful, it makes people feel lonely.

After laughing a few times, Illya's expression suddenly became a little tangled and depressed.

"Hey...bers...Hercules...will you protect me?"

Ilia looked up at Hercules as if begging, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.

Hercules was silent for a moment.

He didn't know Illya.

He was also convinced that Illya was not from his world.

He didn't understand why Illya suddenly asked this.

but.....!

"I will!"

Yes! He will!

Even if we have never met, even if we are confused.

But, protecting the weak, isn't that what a hero should do?!

He is Hercules! He will never allow the innocent weak to be bullied in front of him!

This is the principle he abides by!

And... facing Illya...

He always has a kind of compassion that comes from nowhere.

He is willing to use his life to protect the other person...

"Thank you, Hercules!"

Illya smiled happily.

Her smile is just like the scenery after spring flowers bloom.

It's extra warmer than before...

When Illya returned to her home, a huge figure suddenly appeared beside her.

It is the embodiment of violence and even more so the embodiment of terror!

Just by looking at the other person, you can feel the brutality and madness coming from the other person from the bottom of your heart!

However, if you look closely at the other person's face...

Then you will be surprised to find that... the other person looks very similar to Hercules...

But there is no clarity in his eyes...

"Sorry, berserker, for making you worry. I'm fine."

Illya gently patted the giant named Berserker.

She had a gentle smile on her face.

It looks like a kitten that has found support.

He just stood there in silence.

Like a giant that can withstand everything.

"Hey, berserker, I see you tonight."

"No, it shouldn't be you."

"Maybe it can be said to be your past..."

"It's you who are still a great hero, Hercules."

"He really is you... I called him Berserker the first time I saw him, but he didn't recognize me..."

"But... he said he would protect me..."

"I'm so happy, berserker."

"Although I know he is not you, when I heard him say that he would protect me, I still thought of you."

"If... you could also tell me that you would protect me... that would be so great..."

"But hey... I know, berserker!"
