Chapter 206: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
At that moment, Reze had already gotten into the water to swim and was still trying to get Denji to come down.
But Denji was still struggling in his heart: 'No, Denji, if I overcome it, my heart will overcome it too.'.
But at that moment! "Ah, I'm drowning...".
Suddenly, Reze seemed about to drown, but Denji clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and looked very nervous.
After all, he had never tried to swim, so of course, he was afraid of the pool.
Reze was also pretending to drown. Seeing Denji's nervous expression, she repeated, "Hahaha, I know! It must be because you don't know how to swim, so you're afraid of the pool!".
She wanted to use provocation to encourage Denji to come down.
Denji was extremely nervous at that moment, but in the end...
"Splash...!".
He jumped directly into the pool.
The water splashed everywhere, but the two were very happy.
"Hahahahaha!"
"How cold!"
At that moment, Reze held out her hands to Denji and said, "I'll teach you!".
Denji looked at Reze's beautiful blushing cheeks and couldn't help but blush himself.
"Things Denji doesn't understand, things Denji can't do..."
Reze looked at him and said, "I'll teach you one by one."
Thus, with patience, Reze taught Denji to swim in the pool.
At that moment, not to mention Denji, not even the manga fans...
"Wow!... Reze is quite a character..."
Fan Siwei blushed and muttered to himself, "If I could also have a girl like that willing to teach me, that would be great!".
He thought it would be wonderful not to have to be taught how to swim like Reze, but simply to be taught how to learn with enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, this can only be a fantasy in reality.
But some manga fans don't think so...
"Is this... Reze deliberately approaching Denji? Did she come with other purposes?".
Professor Kenji Tanaka frowned as he looked at the manga and said, "If not, how could she be so sudden... and be so carefree with Denji and fall in love with him...".
Such a fantasy plot, even in a manga, is too dreamlike, isn't it? For a beautiful girl to fall in love with you at first sight and for things to develop so quickly? Adults like Professor Kenji Tanaka don't believe such a thing could happen, and this isn't Ren's style.
He suddenly remembered the first encounter between Lucy and David in Edgerunners. It seemed that the first encounter between Lucy and David was very harmonious.
Even in that plot, Lucy and David really had the feeling that they had formed a good impression of each other from the first contact, and there were no signs of disobedience.
But in the end, while David was swimming in the lunar braindance, what he was waiting for was for Lucy to notify Maine and the others to come, and there was a cyber trap...
After all, the plot between Reze and Denji was too rushed and disobedient.
So now Professor Kenji Tanaka also doubts that Reze deliberately approached Denji and had other purposes, not just a chance encounter and then love at first sight.
In the manga, when Denji and Reze were playing in the pool, it suddenly started to rain, so they returned to the classroom to take shelter from the rain.
At that moment, Reze was looking at the heavy rain through the window, but suddenly asked with curiosity, "Denji, what do you think?".
"Which is better, the country mouse or the town mouse?".
"What?" Denji asked with curiosity.
But at that moment, the scene suddenly changed to Aki Hayakawa and his new partner, the Angel Devil.
They were talking about mice.
"...It's a story from Aesop's fables."
The Angel Devil said in the rain, "Although the country mice live safely, they cannot eat the delicious food of the city."
"Although the town mice can eat delicious food, they will be hunted by humans and cats."
"I long for the country mice."
The Angel Devil looked at the heavy rain outside and said without expression, "But Makima caught me and brought me to the city. My heart is still in the country, so I don't want to deal with you city dwellers, nor do I want to encounter dangerous things."
"...I said."
Aki Hayakawa was about to say something.
However, the next image turned to Denji, and his answer was:
"I want to be a mouse in the city."
However, Reze did not agree with Denji's answer and replied, "Huh? Of course it's better to be a mouse in the country. Stability is the most important thing."
Denji replied, "There's a lot of delicious food in the city, aren't they very happy?".
"Denji, as long as there's delicious food and fun, isn't that enough?".
Reze seemed a little dissatisfied and said.
"Yes."
Denji's answer made her fall silent.
"That's the difference between people," said Kenji Tanaka with emotion. "The town mice don't know how difficult it is to swallow the food of the country, so they think a stable life is good."
"But for the country mice, it's better to live in the city and eat delicious food than to eat poorly every day."
"This is what you long for most when you lack something."
The mice that were born in the city from the beginning believe that the city with humans and cats is a hell.
Although there is delicious food, they feel they live a precarious life, and that life... is not good.
Isn't a stable life much better than delicious food?
For the mice born in the country, life in the city, surrounded by delicious food and enjoying the pleasure of the palate, makes them long for it.
Instead of living a stable life in the country for ten years without delicious food, it is better to live in the city, even if one day they are hunted by humans and cats, but there is delicious food every day.
Those delicacies... not to mention that they live a precarious life.
Even if they are killed immediately after eating, they will feel satisfied.
Both sides cannot understand each other, but both long for the other's life.
This is because they lack different things.
As the famous literary work "The Besieged City" says:
"People outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out."
Reze still didn't understand, but she suddenly changed the subject and said, "Then tomorrow, let's go to a nearby celebration together... I'm sure there will be lots of delicious food and fun things."
"After work, it's fine," Denji nodded.
"Yes! Great! That's it!"
Reze was a little happy, but she suddenly left the classroom and said, "I'm going to the bathroom!".
Seeing Reze leave, Denji couldn't help but say, "How cute!"
