Vol 8 Chapter 66 (2/2)

It’s not like any of the previous choices I had were suitable for me and I’ve always felt that as Liu Bei, I ought to strike out on my own which is why I never took them.

But that is my answer as Liu Bei, what about as myself?

As myself, how do I wish to continue on in this era?

— My own wish.

Just then, Han Fu’s face floated up in my mind, followed by Meng De’s and Yun Chang and the rest. There was also that brat Emperor Xian of Han as well. At the same time, I also saw the various commoners I’d met as well as my own face the night I escaped from Xu state that wintry night.

…

“Ah…”

“Un? What is it?”

Liu Biao hurriedly came over and softly asked me when he saw me speak. As for myself, I was rather shocked at the answer that came to me.

Is that really my own wish? I asked myself in disbelief.

“Umm… I did indeed think about it and I have an answer of sorts, I guess.”

“Oh? Good, let me ask you once more then.” Liu Biao lightly coughed, “Blood brother, do you have an ambition or a dream?”

“Yes.”

“Well then, what is it?” Liu Biao followed up. I took a deep breath and steadied myself as I prepared to give my reply in as normal a voice as I could.

“It’s probably, to save the world.”

“… Are you serious?”

“An, un.”

“…”

“Umm… Elder brother, please say something.” I said as I looked at the silent Liu Biao, who was looking at me from the side with his mouth slightly open, his face shocked.

Ah… I just knew what I said was weird.

But no matter what, this was the answer I arrived at. That said, I believe I am ill, in the head. So Liu Biao, if you must laugh, please go ahead, I can take it.

“Hahaha, interesting.” As expected, Liu Biao laughed, but it wasn’t the sort of mocking laughter that I was expecting.

“Why does blood brother have this sort of wish?” Liu Biao asked after laughing for a bit.

“Un… I’m not too sure myself.” I couldn’t help but to laugh as well and continued without thinking too much about it, “Perhaps I’ve seen too many people and things. Some have become regrets, others have become my past while the rest have become my present. I’m rather satisfied with where I’m at and what I have now but if I wanted to maintain the status quo, or improve things, then what do I need to do?”

“… So you wish to save the world?” Liu Biao replied with a question and slowly nodded.

I nodded in response.
