Chapter Twenty-Three: The Perspective of the Other
"It's finally over. I'd love to have Miss Naha's lunch soon!"
"You're like this, and when you get to the captain, remember to take it a bit. ”
"Excuse me, am I so bad now?"
"It's probably to the point where a person sees you and scares you away. ”
"Why, what to do, Ti Mart, I'm too hungry to make any other expression now. ”
Pleiades and Deanna are having a meaningless conversation on the way back from the inspection mission, and the conversation between the two is just like usual, with Deanna crying about Deanna's feelings after abandoning certain actions and hearing about Pleiades. Behind the two of them, the younger group often smiled at the two big sisters, and the childlike behavior of the two adults became a weapon for the two children to get closer to each other. Therefore, there is no separation between the four members of the vanguard group of the six subjects, but there are quite a few generational barriers on the topic.
However, the most common examples are the Pleiades who often say things that are beyond Elio's age and cause the topic to go ahead, or Deanna who says something very complicated that causes the two children to keep nodding yes but not fully understanding the meaning.
"Sister Pleiades, who is fine, they won't mind, captain. ”
"Mm-hmm, everybody's a good guy. ”
"Elio!
The Pleiades seemed to be very moved to look at the two little imps who comforted her, and Deanna on the side couldn't figure out at all whether the four were two adults, two children, or one adult and three children.
But soon they had put these questions behind as they returned to the base...... Or maybe after the picnic they saw three long tables filled with a variety of food, such as chicken wings, sandwiches, lamb saddles, fragrant belly, spaghetti and all kinds of sprays.
"Are the imps finally coming back too? Come on, we can't wait. ”
Vita looked at the vanguard team who had just come out of the jungle with a grim smile, and the reaction of the four of them to the food on the table was even more incomprehensible. Knowing that they had long been attracted to food, Vita didn't bother much, just snickered at the expressions on the faces of the four of them, telling them to sit down quickly.
"Thank you, Vice Captain Veta!"
The Pleiades sat down at the nearest table first, waiting for the commander-in-chief's speech to be ready to eat at any time.
"Haha, it feels like Vita Sauce at home. ”
"Swift Wind!"
Seeing the members of the vanguard slowly sit down, the wind covered half of their mouths and smiled, and everyone present couldn't help but snicker when they heard her words, of course, Vita herself was too shy to stand up and scream, and she felt a sense of force to fly back to herself.
"Well, you've worked hard, and I think some people will be tempted to eat first, so I'll keep everything simple, let's have dinner. ”
As the commander-in-chief of the entire six sections, Hurricane is not informal, nor does he have a very strict face, and he has a sense of being an amiable boss to both the newcomers and subordinates of the six sections. At least in the minds of the four members of the vanguard group, she is just a gentle big sister, far more affectionate than Naba of the training officer.
"If you change to another job in the future, you should have a boss like this, it should be a lot easier......
While Deanna was thinking about the good things about her current boss, she was eating the food in front of her, and the Pleiades next to her had eaten completely regardless of her food.
"Can the imps let me sit here?"
At this time, from the logistics unit of the Sixth Section, as a helicopter pilot, Viss Glansennik came to Diana with a plate.
"Of course there's no problem with Vislu!"
When Deanna saw the man in front of her, of course she didn't dare to neglect her duties, although he was not a direct commander, but he was still a higher rank than a recruit like herself, and it was difficult to say that it was impossible for her not to give face.
"Haha...... Don't be so restrained, I'm just a helicopter pilot, and I'm not as active as you on the front line. ”
"How can I say that, I heard Captain Higno say that Mr. Weiss was also an excellent member of the armed forces. ”
Elio immediately helped Diana round the court, and gave up his position for the other party to sit down, and he sat down next to Cay Lu on the other side.
"That was all from an unknown number of years ago, and now I can be considered to have taken refuge. ”
"Shelter?"
Kailu repeats Vess for some reason, and the two of them, except for Pleiades, who are still focused on eating, also look at Weiss with confusion.
Without speaking, Weiss quietly pointed to the long table behind him. The table on the side was not the captain's table, but a gathering place for a group of members who did not belong to the six branches. The members of the six branches who came to Earth this time were notified that the captains would invite some local people to come and attend the picnic party, so that they would not be seen through their identities and let them get as close as possible to the ordinary people of Earth.
But when Deanna looked at it, she almost sprayed out all the food she was eating in her mouth, because it wasn't "normal" at that table
"W-Isn't this a member of the Rainbow Team? And that Nagase Tou is out too!"
Deanna had lowered her voice very much, but her shouting still seemed to startle the people at the table, and Toru waved her hand back.
"Oh, you're too loud, miss. I didn't hide here to get them to notice me. ”
"Sorry......"
Deanna's face bowed her head when she heard Vess, and instead Elio and Calou didn't react in particular, perhaps it had something to do with the people they had seen at the table long after they had lived with Fett.
Anyway, the figure on the table is indeed not something that ordinary Mead citizens can encounter, not to mention this legendary character, even the white bird who has been living in Moonlight State for many years has been hard-pulled down. It seems to have come from the generational exchange of the beautiful name of the Rainbow Team, but in fact it is just a free lunch.
"Deanna, I'm not dazzled, it seems to be Mr. [Red Dragon] on the other side...... I've seen videos online of him smashing a mountain with one punch. ”
"I think it's me...... How harmful are these six sections, and how do the captains and commanders always know a group of big people. Speaking of which, these people seem to be from this world, and you are also from the earth, aren't you the surname of this country?"
"Dad's is indeed a resident of Japan, but it's not as famous as the people around there. ”
Pleiades was so unfortunate that she didn't scream with joy, probably because the series of eating activities made her a little overwhelmed, and her movements slowed down a little.
"So, he's probably the only ordinary person at our table in this unit. ”
Weiss uttered this with a bit of self-deprecation, but he didn't know that it was right on Deanna's heart.
"Yes, there should be only a few of us among mortals. ”
Deanna glanced at the Pleiades and the two children beside her, and although she didn't know if the Vess in front of her had the strength that Higno had said, she knew very well that the future of Elio and Calou was definitely bright. After all, the two of them were children who could be guided by the members of the rainbow team, so even if they were middle-class, they must be stronger than themselves, she thought.
"If it were them, maybe nothing would go wrong, they must be people who could succeed in anything, at least to the extent that they could save one or two worlds. ”
Weiss heard Deanna a little confused, she didn't understand the background of the gentleman in front of her, she didn't know what he was feeling, but she could feel a sense of powerlessness and a hint of regret in it.
"Don't just look down on yourself, even they have gone through a lot of failures to grow up. ”
"Miss Lynves. ”
Hearing a soft female voice, Weiss immediately stood up and saluted her, but Linfus didn't care too much and asked him to sit down again.
"Miss Lynvers showed Commander Tempest that there is no problem?"
"It's okay, nothing big should happen if you leave for a while. And I think it's more important to educate you kids. ”
Linfus smiled and sat next to Weiss, unconsciously the people at the table became more and more strange, and the combination of vanguard + logistics staff + assistant commander was very strange.
"Although in your eyes, they are a bunch of characters who have been fanned by people for legends, but you can't help but think too highly of them. I'm not going to say that you can do the same things that are as powerful as they are and that they feel so stressful at the same time, but I want to say the things that went into the back of their success. ”
Lynves slowly recounts that the people at the table are focused on her, and although Pleiades, Elio, and Caylou are listening to short stories, they are learning to Deanna and Weiss, two people with their own backs and scars.
"I don't know everyone in the rainbow team, but I know very well that Nagase rain is a living legend for you for a new generation. Maybe you already knew about him when he became famous, and even more would worship or envy him, but in fact, he was just an ordinary B-class wizard, do you know that?"
"Well, I also have the story of Nagase Rain with Tima, Miss Lynvers said that he was a weak wizard when he was a child, and he didn't become strong until he was taught by his father, the Demon King, right? ”
"It seems like you don't really know, but it's also due to the rainbow team's own intelligence control over the rain. In fact, he did not become stronger by teaching, but through failure. Maybe you won't believe it, Nagase Rain is probably a person who hasn't won much since he was a child. He had been unable to defeat even your Thunderlight Detachment Captain and was going to flee in the wilderness. He had also been defeated by my men, and had risked his life, not to mention many of his enemies with whom he was still fighting. ”
"Miss Fit, did she even beat Brother Nagase!"
"It's so bad. ”
Elio and Calou were thrilled that their guardians had such power, Deanna and Weiss were a little surprised that he had such a background, and Pleiades somehow got into eye contact with Lynves with a little fear of killing someone.
"So Miss Lynves is trying to tell us not to stop because of the failure?"
As an adult, Weiss, who had long known some beautiful things, said with a little disappointment.
"Maybe you don't like it, but I hope you'll think about it. After all, many of the people who succeed are the ones who practice these beautiful words. But I don't feel like I'm here to guide you, I feel more like I'm trying to get justice for this friend of mine, after all, what you said before seemed to erase all the hard work and sacrifice behind his back. ”
Lynves stood up after speaking, and without waiting for Weiss and the vanguard to apologize, she shook her head and asked them not to mind what she had said.
"I just couldn't help but want to say some of my feelings, I'm sorry I accidentally picked you as the object of the complaint, obviously you don't need to carry this kind of story. ”
Everyone in the room began to feel that Lynves was starting to be a little confused, but they still didn't leave her and let her go.
"I felt so distressed after seeing him lose more and more, and his heart became hollow like a starting puppet. If the hair strip that the master twisted for him stops on any day in the future, will he still be able to move forward?"
Raffus was upset at the rain as she laughed with her friends, but wished he could fill the void alive before the start was finished.
