At the Holy King Hospital, all the injured members of the six departments were sent here for treatment. It had been sixteen hours since the enemy had retreated, but it was still very busy with people because of the large number of wounded people who had been accommodated here.

It's been a long time since late at night until the sun is high, and those frontline personnel who have woken up from their coma are gradually returning to work, after all, there are many things that need to be sorted out after the defeat, especially in terms of losses.

"But it would be too cruel to send a soldier who had just been defeated on the battlefield to return to the present point. ”

Rain said as he placed a fruit basket on the small table next to his hospital bed.

He had just finished his post-war discussions and post-war protocols in Moonlight State, and when it was all over, he had come to visit his sister in the hospital.

Deep snow has now woken up, sitting in bed and looking out at the green courtyards and forests, ignoring the rain.

This is a relatively rare thing, and generally Shenxue is very concerned about his brother's words and answers them with enthusiasm. But today's defeat made her a little more worried, and Yu didn't know how to relieve her for a while.

"Vivio...... Did you get it back?"

Suddenly Deep Snow asked.

"We'll get it back later, don't worry. ”

Rain thought that Miyuki was frustrated that she had not completed the task she had assigned, so she reached out and touched her head, but when Rain stepped forward, she saw Miyuki's expression.

Her face was full of the word remorse, and she was even biting her lip very unwillingly. At this point, the hand stopped in mid-air, and then slowly retracted.

"You're not the only one who loses this time. ”

“……”

"We've lost all of them here, and no one has won except Suzuka, who saved the silver river. ”

"Is this the flock mentality......"

"Not really. ”

"Brother. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Let me do it next time. ”

There is no emotion, and it is not a joke that is casual talking. Miyuki just calmly said what she wanted to do most at the moment, but as an older brother, Yu was a little hesitant, and although she was an excellent magician, she was still a nine-year-old girl all the time.

"I'll think about it. ”

"Yes...... Then brother, go to work, I'm fine. ”

"Don't mess up with others or make excuses to skip school. ”

"I know, I'll be back to school tomorrow. ”

Yu looked at his sister with a little concern, but the other party didn't put his mind on himself at all, just stared at the scenery outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking. But Yu can probably guess what his sister is doing, and that appearance is also very similar to his previous self and Naba.

After walking out of the ward and closing the door, Yu leaned on the door and smiled.

"That must be doing hypothetical training. ”

Then the rain began to move to the next place of consolation, the old site of the Sixth Division.

◇

After a night of destruction, the base that had been built on the bay no longer existed. Scorched earth and rubble spread throughout the area, and occasionally walls and iron blocks that had been distorted by the impact were seen while inspecting buildings and searching for traces.

The rain passed through a group of reporters before coming in, and since the ground team is now not responding positively and is openly damaged, all the crowd knows about the destruction of the few curtains on the clip after Scully Eddie's declaration yesterday. There were also scenes filmed from high altitude by the TV station's helicopters, and there were no close-range images or digital reports. Such measures have led a group of reporters to wonder if the law-abiding forces on the ground are really as beaten to the ground as in the clip.

"But such measures are correct for the sake of austerity and not to plunge the people into panic. ”

Rain looked at the group of reporters behind him who wanted to cross the police line and agreed with Reggias's method.

After walking for a while, he spotted Deanna filling out a report at the base gate.

"Is Deanna okay?"

"Captain Nagase, I don't have any major problems in my body. ”

When Deanna saw the rain, she immediately nodded her head.

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard, the members of the vanguard who have been injured in the previous battle are also in the hospital. A good rest is also a part of work. ”

"Nagase team leader who has no problem, since he can get out of bed, it would be good to let his body move. ”

"Remember, and you wait for Higno to come and show your face at the hospital. Elio was the only one who couldn't take care of the three of them, and you should be worried about it. ”

“…… Understand. ”

Deanna's expression immediately darkened when she heard the name of the Pleiades, and it was the Pleiades that were the most injured of the four in the vanguard, and it was because of her protection that she and Elio could wake up so quickly as they were now.

"Captain of the Nagase. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Yinhe...... What about the silver river in the middle of the island?"

Deanna asked with a little trepidation that she had not received any communication from the work she had been working from the severity of Silver's injuries until Deanna left the hospital.

"Rest assured, the operation has ended, because the other party also wants to capture the relationship alive, and the life can be guaranteed. Although the injuries were severe, as long as they lay in bed obediently for about two weeks, they were able to recover to a normal life, but it was impossible to participate in the mission again in the short term. ”

At the same time, Rain's words also made Lan Yue project several photos of Zhang Yinhe lying in bed sleeping peacefully, and some reports written by doctors, and when Deanna read them carefully, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So is Team Naba Captain here?"

"Ah, she's working at the base, do you want me to call her out?"

"No, I'll just go in and find her myself. ”

Rain thanked Deanna and walked towards the main entrance, but stopped after a few steps.

"That's right, Deanna. ”

"Yes. ”

"Does she feel good?"

"Is the Takamachi team long?"

"Hmm. ”

“…… Since the number of people who have been taken and injured by Vivio has been ascertained, she has been working until now, and as far as I know, she should have not rested from the end of the battle until now. ”

"I'm trying to strengthen myself again. ”

The rain rubbed his sun a little unbearably, and then thanked Deanna again and walked into the remains of the six branches.

After walking through many of the burned rooms, and feeling the feeling that it was now like a desolate wasteland, the rain finally saw Naha.

Naba was kneeling in the passage directly in front of the rain, wondering if she was checking the traces on the ground when the rain slowly approached her. Then it was discovered that she was not looking at the ground, but had picked up a pink rabbit doll from the ground.

It was Vivio's doll, a doll that she had always taken very seriously.

Now the rabbit doll is covered in dust, and the hands and feet are a little blackened.

"We'll get her back. ”

The rain suddenly frightened Naha, who had sunk into her own thoughts, and she almost fell to her feet a little, but she quickly got back up and smiled at the rain.

"Well, I know. ”

“……”

When Rain saw her strong smile, he noticed that this woman who was always weak and weak in front of others was about to push herself into a corner, as if she had lost her wings and was flying.

Just as Rain was trying to consider how to talk to Naha, he noticed that Naba's smile gradually collapsed.

Step by step seemed to fall in front of the rain at any moment, the smile had disintegrated, and the tears quickly crossed the face.

"Sure enough, it doesn't work, Xiaoyu ......"

Naba leaned against Rain's chest, probably suppressing her crying because there were other team members around, but the rain was close at hand and could hear the heart-rending sobs clearly.

"Just the thought of her going to be put on the test bench by that person for an inhumane test is like a tight grip, and the thought of her crying face screaming at her mother makes me feel very painful. ”

"It's okay...... We'll get her out. ”

Seeing Naha reveal what she was saying was a little shocking, she couldn't even think of any beautiful words that could stabilize her feelings. At the same time, he noticed that he had made another mistake in this defeat.

It was only then that he noticed that he had been sacrificing others as he kept walking towards his goal.

He thought back to what Elsa had said before, and that he had always done a lot of things to the girls who supported him.

Maybe it was because he didn't have time to look at his surroundings because he had just looked at the target in front of him, or maybe he noticed it because he had been reminded by Aisha.

I've always been a selfish villain, and for the sake of the goal of not caring about the people around me, I subconsciously take their help for granted, and maybe even think in my heart that they are just pawns, but on the surface I pretend to care for them.

He has always taken advantage of the love of this group of people for himself.

In fact, he did not use all his strength in this battle, and he was convinced of defeat when the opponent attacked, so he did not return the members sent elsewhere. He just lost as little as he could, and didn't think about winning at all.

Seeing Naha crying out for her daughter, Rain wonders what would happen if Blue Rain was called back then.

What if he had noticed Naha's feelings for his daughter earlier?

Would she choose to sacrifice her daughter for the sake of victory?

Maybe it really is......

Rain, who had come up with this result, was sick to his own mind, and he even felt that he was not qualified to be relied on by the person in front of him, and he should not have hugged her at all.

Maybe it was very fortunate in the past, and the sacrifices weren't anything important, so the rain never cared.

But today, Naba's weeping woke him up, and he finally woke up in this world where he had no regard for others, and found that there were people in the world besides himself and Yetian.

So would he choose to change?

"I'm sorry, really...... Sorry. ”

All Yu can do now is apologize to her, but the woman in front of her still won't blame herself.

Because the other party has not changed before, she has always been a magician who will give everything to save people.

[The deep snow in the morning must be the same, not because I failed the task I had entrusted to me, but because I was angry that I didn't keep my friends. 】

Rain thinks back to the deep snow that he regretted just after being in the hospital, and he feels that he has woken up too late, and has been doing whatever he wants for most of his life until now.

It must be an easy task to rely on the people around you and ignore everything around you, and to move forward by just looking at the goal, and you will not be let go by the people who support you when you encounter setbacks.

If you just move forward without thinking about turning around, you must be more relaxed than others.

"I'm still thinking about making it up to you...... What a big joke. Isn't that complete......"

The rain lowered her voice so that Naye in front of her could not hear it, in fact, her own crying and the grief in her heart had long since made her unable to pay attention to the whispers of the rain.

"Rest assured, Naba, I'll let it all end soon, so please hold on until that day. ”
