Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Legend of a Hero Chapter 9: Conflict Arises, the Selfish Hero – translated by ErodingPersona

Gēge, what is the line between humans and non-humans?

Nearly my entire body has been altered from top to bottom, filled with steel that normal people shouldn’t have, and even made to hide energy weapons. Do I still count as a human?

It’s okay, I’m not upset… After all, Charles and Melody both aren’t human either! Luckily, I’m not the only non-human at home.

That’s why, it doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter even if I am not human.

Gēge, today I remembered something from the past, something upsetting.

However, I also suddenly discovered that compared to the past, I now have Gēge, Bàba, Charles, Bramble-shū, Briar, Dell… and many, many more!

I suddenly realized that, compared to the past, the current me has so much, so very much!

Spoiler warning for readers of Eclipse Hunter. Ah Ye talks a bit about his past in this chapter, which reveals some events that are possibly yet to come in Odd Squad’s translation of EH. If you would like to completely avoid the spoiler, skip Ah Ye’s entire explanation starting from “The young master looked at me, hesitated, and then said helplessly” and continue reading from “Dear father! When can I become a qualified butler that never lets his own emotions affect his master?”

Gēge, don’t worry about me anymore. I’m fine.

Everyone is working hard at consoling me… I really am fine.

Let’s stop talking about that. Gēge, do you know? I found a part-time job. I’m going to be a model! The photographer is Luo Chu-gē, he’s Luo Lun’s elder brother! He…

…

I feel really worried about First Wind. He must feel so upset!

Legend of a Hero Chapter 6: At a Loss, the Hero who must Sacrifice Others or Himself – translated by Doza

Gēge, I’ve failed… The mother and her daughter were both blown into bits and pieces.

If I had succeeded in saving them, would that mother have been the same as all those mothers I’ve rescued in the past, thanking me with a smile and saying that I was like an angel?

In that moment, if I had paid more attention, maybe I could have discovered that the detonator was not with that crook.

Today, I am not an angel. I brought death unto that mother… I am a grim reaper.

Don’t keep talking about Charles? Oh, okay! Then I’ll talk about the other people at home; they’re all very interesting too!

Dell-gē is the most interesting. He told me a lot of very interesting stories. May-gē likes to do a strange exercise that he said is called “yoga.” Bramble-shū is very serious and has a really fatherly feel!

Right! There’s also Briar. She is Bramble-shū’s daughter and is twelve this year.

She is my future fiancée!

Gēge?! What was that loud noise? Did you fall down? Are you okay?
