"Carl! You really met Mr.Goodguy and Delete!? How did you survive? You are awesome!"
"Hey! I am the one who asked him first!"
One day after that day, I suddenly got really popular in the school. Everyone asked me how do Delete and Mr.Goodguy look like, if Delete is really a hero, and how I could survive. But as the time goes on, that issue got gradually disappeared and everyone went back to their study and stuff. At least they didn't try to bully me from that time.
But in my mind, something unordinary happened. It was super weird but not bad at all. I didn't know how to call this feeling, until Delete died in 1 month.
Breaking news said Mr.Goodguy finally caught Delete, but Delete tried to do suicide bomb terror, so Mr.Goodguy had to kill him. I didn't believe the news at all, because Delete never used a single bomb in his life.
Delete's real name was Luben Youji. His entire realtives and family died because of terror when he was a kid. He was one of the great robbers who robbed the central bank, but he was the only one who didn't get caught at the time because he didn't take money at all.
Soon, a rumor that Delete had a sidekick had spreaded, and it was true.
Delete, I mean, Luben Youji's funeral was very small. In heavy rain, cemetery, one man was digging to bury Luben's coffin and only one pastor was watching it.
Without telling my parents, I went there with only an umbrella and watched his last moment from far away.
Then Mr.Goodguy appeared. His mask looked especially so happy that day.
Pastor and Mr.Goodguy had a talk.
"Nice to meey you, Mr.Goodguy. Did you come here to forgive Mr.Delete?"
"Yes, yes.. and I will forgive you guys also."
"What do you mean, Mr.Goodguy?"
"You and this digging man are all his side. As a hero, I won't kill you but I'm here to warn you... now I'm gonna take your legs."
Mr.Goodguy took out a knife, and the pastor looked really scared.
Then, one person with black hijab passed me by, and kicked Mr.Goodguy's face.
It was Delete, no, it was Delete's sidekick.
Mr.Goodguy shouted.
"Haha! Delete's sidekick! Look at your teacher, sleeping in the dark! Now how are you gonna stop me!?"
"He is alive. His mind is alive. No matter how many times you try to stop, there will be always people who follows his way. His heart will never die if many people remember him."
"For now, I am Dele2."
They kept fighting, so pastor and one man could run away. I followed them, and they were trembling in the small church without light.
They looked cold, so I took off my coat and gave it to them. Then the pastor said.
"Thank you, kid... looks like god sent us two angels to tell us there's still hope."
That time, I realized how to call this unordinary feeling. It was love.
