"The new task assigned to your class by the organization is to act as a temporary escort for Miss Mianyue Ihime. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the urgency of the war, it seems that you can only do this kind of work temporarily. Plus...... That, Commander Ouyang also misses his grandson. Even if you take a vacation, go to the central and prosperous area of the moon capital to rest for a while, ah. ”

Although he said this kind of thing calmly on the surface, Ge Chengzhi knew that the current company commander must not be too clear about the situation of the matter. Why did he suddenly transfer the guards from the actual combat troops? Even if our own troops were nervous, couldn't we let the people of Yuedu defend their leader? However, as a high-quality revolutionary soldier, he still chose to keep this doubt in his heart and honestly explain the task to Ge Chengzhi.

Obviously, Ge Chengzhi knows much more about what this task is going on than this company commander. Nodding, pretending to obey orders and obey commands, he "snapped" and gave a beautiful military salute: "All the soldiers of the third squad guarantee to complete the task, comrade company commander!"

“…… Okay, okay, this area is a safe zone, don't make it look like I gave you the mission of the death squad. Slightly uncomfortable with this situation, the company commander waved his hand, "First...... Let's get out. The residences of several escort targets are located next to your residence, and the relevant matters will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes, Comrade Company Commander. ”

After another salute, Ge Chengzhi slowly retreated to the door, and only after the company commander's hand was put down did he completely turn around and strode towards the original station. It should be said that such an arrangement was made organizationally, although it was not clearly stated when he gave the task, he also vaguely guessed what the purpose of the above was. Grabbing his hair, feeling a little awkward, he muttered:

"Oh, there's never been an easy time for these things......"

"What are you talking about?

In fact, since just now, Ge Chengzhi has already noticed the existence of Mianyue Yiji, but if he plays the role of this veteran who re-enters the army after being discharged, Mianyue Yiji's tracking level should not be noticed, so he can only pretend to be stupid all the way, while feeling the gaze that has been staring at this side behind him, while walking to the company commander's dormitory to report to him to accept the task and then walk out. It's not as uncomfortable as you think - after all, even if it's uncomfortable, you have to endure it, and considering that this "stalker" is still a beauty, it may also be considered a kind of enjoyment.

"No, of course not. I mean, class management is harder than when I was in the army, and sure enough, peacetime and wartime are not comparable at all. Shaking his head and smiling like a fool, Ge Chengzhi replied to Mianyue Yiji, who suddenly appeared beside him, "For me, this matter is really quite a challenge. ”

"Challenge, not necessarily, I think you've easily solved the problem that some three of them might have on the battlefield and can't concentrate on the battle, at least to get them moving. ”

"Are you talking about Miss Ling Meng's three? That should be their own credit. They are all sonorous roses with beautiful appearances and strong hearts. She is a great woman who has the ability to think and take responsibility. ”

Oops, hey, it seems that he unconsciously let himself leak out his usual virtues again. This mouth will have to be taken care of in the future. With this half-joking thought in his mind, Ge Chengzhi looked at the back of Mianyue Yiji, who had already arrived in front of him, and suddenly added: "Of course, I think you are also a great woman." Although the greatness of several people is not reflected in the same place. ”

"Oh? Suddenly turned around and raised her eyebrows, Mianyue Yiji's tone seemed to have a provocative color, "You actually boast about the greatness of an enemy who killed your own brother?"

......Don't be embarrassed!

For the current Ge Chengzhi, of course, this sentence cannot be spoken. Just letting his brain tense up angrily, he tried to put on a smile that no one would think was okay: "Of course. Whether you killed my brother or not, there is no way to deny what you have done, so I call you a 'great woman'. Or should I say, is it his honor that the foolish brother can die at your hands?"

“…… So, that's what you're like. When Ge Chengzhi said these words without changing his face, Mianyue Yiji's eyebrows trembled twice, and then she put it down as if she had lost interest, "It's obviously two brothers, but the personality difference between you is really big." Although it does look alike. ”

"How should I interpret this, then, as a compliment or a sarcasm?"

"You can just think of it as both. Waving her hand to show that she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Mianyue Yiji raised her head and looked at the "eternal" sky of Yuedu, "Let's go back quickly." You still have things to do. ”

yes, something to do. Feeling some deep meaning in Mianyue Yiji's words, Ge Chengzhi nodded, and was about to move on, but was stopped by the former: "By the way, I suggest that if you have time, you'd better care about those three." After all, your brother took special care of them when he was alive, and if he could leave you any last words, it would be 'take care of the three of them for me.'" ”

"But my brother doesn't look like a guy who would leave such a last word. With what I know about him. ”

"That just means you don't know enough about him. By the way, what am I going to say......" Tapping her chin with her index finger, Mianyue Yiji put on a serious thinking look, "Hmm...... That's right, I remembered. The relationship between the three of them seems to have changed a lot, you have to pay attention to it. ”

So...... Mentioning Xiaowei's death over and over again in front of me, what does this Mianyue Yiji want to do? Does she want to use this stimulation to expose my possible weaknesses, or is it ...... What does she herself want to receive from me the "punishment" she deserves?

Feeling that the situation was a little strange, and wondering if he was thinking too much, Ge Chengzhi stood in place silently for a while, until Mianyue Yiji's back completely disappeared from the field of vision, and then he took another step.

――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――――――

Marisa always felt a little uneasy when she woke up today, as if something was going to happen, her heart pounding, and the sound was so loud that she almost made her hands shake because of the sound when she dropped her eye drops. She didn't quite remember if her omens would have worked, but it did make her very uneasy.

So, should I say that it is really or something else...... Her omens seem to have been fulfilled in some way.

"Reimu, your eyes...... What's going on?"

Some of them greeted each other with trepidation, and Marisa was afraid that she might recognize the wrong person. If it weren't for the iconic big bow, she really didn't want to believe that this person was Hakuri Reimu: in addition to the obviously abnormal red eyes, the overall temperament of that person was also very dangerous, which made her feel a little scared.

"Ah...... Well, it's not a big deal, it should. Just drop some eye drops. "It's still the same as usual, a little lazy. But...... It always feels like it's deliberately pretended, "Ah, Marisa, don't you have eye drops there, lend me two drops." ”

"You can't use this medicine casually, what if you're blind. With a wry smile, Marisa quickly put away the eye drops in her hand, as if she was afraid that the other party would come and grab it, "That's right, Sanae she...... Are you still in the house? Are you okay?"

"It's still there. Of course it's still there. And, it should be getting better soon. Nodding, Reimu gave such an ambiguous answer, "Hmm...... We should give Sanae a little space, a little time and a little confidence, Marisa. She's not going to be such a fragile girl, you and I know. ”

No, I have the impression that she should be such a fragile girl. Vulnerability may not be the right word ...... "crazy"? And the space, time, and confidence we gave her is not just a star. Silently complaining about Reimu's words in her heart, Marisa still cares a little about Reimu's performance today: "Nothing really happened, Reimu, if it happens, you must tell me." ”

“…… Why do you want to tell you?"

"That ......" was suddenly asked, and Marisa froze slightly, "Because...... Xiaowei put me in charge of solving your mental problems, right? ”

"I remember Xiaowei's original words, obviously not like this...... Never mind. Anyway, I don't have any worries right now, and Sanae should be able to get out of the shadow of my worries soon. We're very busy, and we need to hurry up and find clues about Xiaowei......"

…… It doesn't look like it's without worries at all. Not at all. Looking at Reimu with a complicated gaze, Marisa sighed. However, she didn't want to say it herself, so I had to find a way to find out by knocking on the side...... Otherwise, she would have to persist in finding the illusion that Xiaowei was still alive.

Beginning to get a headache from this kind of thing, Marisa rubbed her forehead vigorously. Leaving a sentence of "It's better to let the doctor look at the eyes", she sighed and said goodbye to Reimu, planning to see Sanae's actual situation now. At this moment, she suddenly caught something abnormal at the edge of her vision: "...... Huh?"

Before she could react, the red figure that was supposed to be behind her rushed past her with a "swoop", so fast that she didn't even recognize that it was actually Reimu. It was literally between the lightning and flint, and a few metal collisions rang out. When Marisa finally began to grasp the situation and hold the gossip furnace in her hand, Reimu had already drawn her pistol and fired at the enemy who had escaped the melee parity and retreated in one direction.

"Marisa, magic cannon, over there!"

"Fetish Charm WideMaster!"

Although she subconsciously obeyed Reimu's orders, Marisa still had a trace of doubt in her heart. It wasn't because she had "wasted her magic cannon in a useless place" - in fact, the collapse of the three-story building caused by the bombardment had blocked the way of the escapees. She was just intuitively aware of something else that was extremely abnormal.

Reimu indicates to her the means of the goal. Almost at the same time as her words, the three bullets fired from the Type 98 pistol hit exactly where the magic cannon was needed. Marisa was able to tell where it was by the small debris of the bullets, but even if it wasn't far away, when did Reimu become familiar with the pistol to the point where she raised her hand and shot without even needing to aim?......

"Damn, let her run......" Reimu, who was in a state of battle, didn't seem to notice Marisa's confused gaze. After searching for the figure just now to no avail, she lowered her head and thought about it, and quickly gave the next order, "Marisa, go find Sanae, that guy may be going for Sanae!"

"Sanae!?Why her!?"

"There's no time to explain!" Kicking against the wall, with the help of a certain flight ability, Reimu began to nimbly run around this apparently some kind of dense low-rise community, Reimu didn't seem to have any intention of waiting for Marisa. Hurriedly followed, and suddenly felt a feeling of astringency in his eyes, Marisa blinked hard, "Wait, who was it just now?"

"White!"

White!?...... This is really the existence of too many evil relationships with the three of them, from the beginning to the present, the white ghosts that have been surrounding them from time to time have appeared...... She can't really be the evil spirit of some of the youkai who was killed before because of resentment, right?

Sanae's temporary residence wasn't far from where the two of them had just been—not living with Reimu and Marisa was her own request—and it only took five minutes to walk, and now it's even faster to get there at such a gallop. The door to the room was open, and the signs of violent destruction could be clearly seen, but there was no one in the room, and there was no sound of fighting around......

"Marisa, over here!"

"Reimu, how do you know ......?"

“…… Get out of here!"

I don't know when the pistol has been put away by Reimu, a cold light flashed, and the white-haired woman, who didn't know where it was, held her wrist in pain and stepped back. At the same time, Marisa heard the sound of a "thud" hitting the ground, and it wasn't until she noticed the moaning that seemed to be holding back as if she was stubborn, but she couldn't hold back in the end, and she realized that it was a person who fell. Rushing over, Marisa realizes that it wasn't Sanae who had fallen to the ground: the latter was taking some sort of emergency medical action, but she didn't seem to know what to do with the gel.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... It's all me, it's all me!" The panic and guilt have completely broken the sad mask that Sanae has been wearing on her face these days. No matter how great the power of love is, there is still no way to completely wipe out the kindness in the heart of this Fengzhu, "I, I ......!"

"Give me the gel, Sanae!" snatched the gel from Sanae's hand, and Marisa began to treat the wounded man's wound in the same way he remembered, "...... Ouyang Pingshui, lie flat and don't move, I'll inject the healing gel into it for you now, if it hurts, grit your teeth and endure it!"

Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped from Ouyang Pingshui's face to the ground. He gritted his teeth in pain and nodded, his face already blue. Looking at the blood oozing from the wound, Marisa took a deep breath and thrust the gel syringe into it.

He's Xiaowei's friend! And it seems that this time it's Sanae again! At least, to save his life!

"I ...... What the hell should I do......" Sanae fell to her knees and whispered to herself next to Marisa, who was still performing first aid and cheering herself up in her mind, "Tell me what I'm going to do, Mr. Katsura......"
