CHAPTER XVIII
Juniper originally thought that today should be a day off, after all, when he arrived just yesterday, the leader of the moon made it very clear that these people were welcome to wander the streets of the moon capital - since the leaders (although not the direct leaders) have expressed their positions like this, then presumably the new acting squad leader will definitely not have any other opinions, right? At least, in Juniper's eyes, the latter is a pure act of death......
But what made Juniper almost drop his jaw was that this acting squad leader Ge seemed to be very brave and capable, and what the man named Mianyue Yiji said yesterday was completely taken as a deaf ear by him, and the order he sent was firm and decisive: conduct political study in the station on his own, and prohibit going out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Isn't this a pure joke? If you have managed to survive the death, can't you let us relax?
Even if he complained so much in his heart, Juniper still didn't have the courage to put forward his opinion to Ge Chengzhi head-on, and he could only laugh when he saw the acting squad leader. Such an aggrieved thing made him accumulate a lot of resentment in his heart, so much so that the smiling face he usually pretended to be a little unbearable. Fortunately, it is his turn to stand guard during this time today, at least he can breathe the outside air, instead of holding it in the house all the time - there is only one class in total, and a person must be specially sent to stand guard, what bullshit rules...... It sounds like a joke.
But what happened still annoyed Juniper. He is clearly only one step away from the "starting line", that is......
Just as he was thinking nonsense, two figures suddenly approaching the door caught his attention. Subsequently, he recognized the two people: one was Sanae of Dongfeng Valley whom they were escorting, and the other was his partner Ouyang Pingshui. Frowning without anyone noticing, he reviewed the entry and exit permits of Ouyang Pingshui, who was wearing civilian clothes, and saluted him: "Relax, Pingshui." And...... If there is any progress, you have to remember to report back. β
There's a bullshit progress. It's better to mess things up completely. Ge Chengzhi is not a good thing, and this kind of obvious sycophancy can also be done. β¦β¦ Forget it, in the final analysis, what he does is similar to him, Ouyang Pingshui is just a way in the end, how can the ultimate goal be this waste. Looking at Ouyang Pingshui, who was smirking, Juniper secretly cursed a few words in his heart, and the negative emotions in his heart increased again.
But it is useless to increase negative emotions, it is necessary to study politics or politics, and it is necessary to stand guard. His eyebrows were about to wrinkle into a pimple in his heart, Juniper sighed, and then suddenly took a step forward, stopping the guy who seemed to be planning to rush out at the moment of his sigh: "Sorry, comrade, please show your entry and exit certificate." β
ββ¦β¦ Well, isn't it? I shouldn't be in your hands, right?"
What appeared in front of her was a blonde girl with an inexplicable and strange expression, Marisa Kiri Rain, and without even thinking about it, she must have wanted to follow the fiery "little couple" in front of her. Seeing her forcibly put on a smile, Juniper felt even more unhappy: "This is a military area, and I am a sentry standing guard, so anyone entering and leaving must show relevant certificates, otherwise I will not be able to let them go." β
"I, I just want to go back to my place. I'm tired and want to go back and get some rest......"
"So, the key question is," said Juniper, whose voice became more dark, "how did you sneak into our squad's garrison under the sentry's eyelids? That Miss Dongfenggu had the temporary entry and exit certificate given by the squad leader, and so did Comrade Ouyang Pingshui, but apparently, you had nothing but rashly entered the military zone. β
"That's not right! I didn't just ...... it before."
"That's because the place where you lived before was in the station, in the station of our company. Now, there is only one squad of combat units operating independently, so the military area is naturally reduced. Raising an eyebrow, Juniper continued to reply, "So, can you give a reasonable explanation for your sneaky behavior?"
Hey, you don't have to be afraid of my bluffing. Just drop a few cruel words. The backer of the three of you is Mianyue Yiji, and there is even Commander Ouyang behind you, but what backer do I have? Ge Chengzhi? I'm just going to do it routinely, and you'll be over a little bit later......
"Ahh I wanted to know what she was doing here, but I didn't expect it to be with Ouyang Pingshui on the street......" The more she spoke, the quieter she spoke, and Marisa's tone gradually became infected with a certain melancholy atmosphere, "She actually took the initiative to pick up Ouyang ...... Alas, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing......"
So can't you be a hooligan in a tough way? You are powerful and important people, and it is impossible for me to do anything to you as a big soldier! I don't want to listen to your gossip, so quickly throw me a face and leave! Thinking more and more impatiently, Juniper waved his hand: "You shouldn't explain these things to me, it's completely a personal matter." β
"You can't think like that! Although this is a private matter, it is also a very important matter! Aren't you also a friend of Ouyang Pingshui? As a friend, you must care about each other's emotional life! Sanae's mood is very unstable!" I don't know why, as if she had been stepped on a corn, Marisa jumped up and expressed her opinion strongly. After thinking about it again, she suddenly grabbed Juniper's arm, "By the way, you can come with me!"
"What are you going to do!?" was a little surprised by this kind of "hooliganism" behavior from another angle, Juniper wanted to pull his arm back, "I'm the sentry at this time, I'm going to stand guard! If you do this again, I'm going to shoot!"
"Don't be so rigid! I have to explain to you today, why I have to watch Sanae and Ouyang's date!" Suddenly stubborn, Marisa said, "Sanae is already emotionally unstable, if Ouyang accidentally stimulates her on this date, maybe Ouyang will be in danger of life! You also saw the combat power of the three of us, didn't you?...... By the way, this is also your duty as a sentry! First, you have to listen to me explain why I sneaked here, and second, you have to protect Ouyang's safety!"
This kind of crooked reasoning made Juniper feel a little funny, but after suddenly realizing that this might really be closely related to Ouyang Pingshui's life, his face that was about to laugh suddenly froze. If Ouyang Pingshui dies here because of such a stupid thing, everything will be in vain......
ββ¦β¦ What you say is true...... Reasonable. I should have followed along. After a moment's hesitation, Juniper nodded, "Let me report to the squad leader......"
"What else to report! Ge Chengzhi is back from there, I'll just say it, if it's too late, we'll lose it!" Gragging Juniper's wrist again, Marisa looked like she was eager to flyβno, she seemed to be starting to fly a little, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
"At least let me put my guns down! We don't allow guns when we go out!"
"It would be better if Sanae ran away with a gun!, let's not talk about running!" Marisa suddenly laughed as she said this, "You can't run slower than me, you know!"
β¦β¦ Because of the sudden appearance of a surprise smile, Juniper was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, Marisa's figure was already a few meters away, forcing him to chase after him. Am I not fascinated, am I? As he asked himself, Juniper quickened his pace, and suddenly felt that the gloom in his heart had dissipated a lot.
βββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββββββββ
Marisa knew very well that she was talking nonsense: what kind of excuse to worry about Ouyang Pingshui's safety would definitely laugh at her if Reimu heard it. She's actually worried about Sanae, wanting to see what Sanae will do if there is finally a "hole" in the "psychological defense" - she thinks that for the trio, this can definitely be regarded as an opportunity to change the current team atmosphere of the three of them.
In other words, until now, she has not given up the task given to her by Ge Yiwei.
But this reason apparently did not convince the stubborn-looking soldier to let him go. While regretting why she didn't just fly off the wall (though Sanae might have found out she was following her), Marisa racked her brains to come up with this excuse, and succeeded in preventing the sentry from reporting to Ge Chengzhi: the guy who had pretended to be Ge Yiwei to deceive the three of them was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. So, in a panic, he pulled him, Juniper, out, and Marisa quietly followed behind Sanae and Ouyang Pingshui, quietly peeping.
ββ¦β¦ Miss Misty Rain," tugged at her sleeve quietly, and Juniper asked cautiously, "Are we too attention-grabbing?" at least, please don't be so sneaky...... I also wore a military uniform, which was to represent the image of Chinese soldiers. And if we are too suspicious, we have recruited people from the Yuedu Garrison......"
"Wouldn't it be nice to say that we were on a special mission? With another sentence that didn't go through her brain much, Marisa waved her hand, "As long as the two of them don't find out, our tracking will be a success." β
"That's too consequential......"
"What's wrong with consequentialism. Xiaowei: He's quite consequential. β
This little argument ends in this boring place, and it seems that Juniper has no intention of retorting because it is too weak, so Marisa is able to stare intently at the two people in front of him who seem to be wandering aimlessly through the streets of the inner city. The two of them first walked into a hospital that seemed to be selling medicines, and when they walked out, the backpack on Ouyang Pingshui's back, which was basically not filled with anything, became a little bulging. Then they walked into the store that was supposed to sell food......
ββ¦β¦ What's going on? There's no dating atmosphere at all. Frowning a little dissatisfied, Marisa complained softly, "Originally, there was no romance with Xiaowei before, and now if this new one doesn't understand romance, Sanae will really be a little pitiful......"
"I'm sorry, please let me clarify," shaking his head, Juniper tugged at Marisa's sleeve again, "Comrade Ouyang Pingshui's purpose of going out this time is to purchase some necessary materials for our class, not the purpose you imagined...... The squad leader can't be so fat, blatantly ......"
"What?" Because Juniper's last sentence was too quiet, Marisa subconsciously asked back, and this somewhat loud interview made the former cover her mouth at once, "Hmm...... What are you doing?"
"You said you didn't want to be discovered! Don't be so loud, they almost looked this way. I'm wearing a military uniform, and I'm going to be exposed all at once. β
ββ¦β¦ Ah, sorry. β
Honestly bowing her head and apologizing, Marisa sighed and straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes. Soon, the two people walked out of the new store, and the bag that Ouyang Pingshui was carrying was basically full. Correspondingly, the atmosphere between the two people didn't seem to be as stiff as before, and they began to talk normally and without a word, but most of the topics were caused by Sanae's side. A little anxious in her heart, but with a strange sense of reassurance, Marisa continued to follow the two men, but couldn't help but start to reflect.
She actually lied anyway. What she was looking for wasn't something to change the atmosphere, she was actually lacking in self-confidence......
If Sanae's extreme love could have been so easily filled by others after Ge Yiwei's death, would the throbbing in my chest, the confession I had made with almost all my might, finally fail in the hands of time?
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?"
What brought Marisa back to her senses were Juniper's two slightly concerned and nonchalant questions. Hurriedly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, but found that nothing came out, but the feeling of dryness was worse, Marisa smiled bitterly twice, and took out the eye drops from his pocket: "Can you help me get some eye drops?"
"Huh?" Juniper blinked at a little overwhelmed by the request, "Let me come?"
"Well, yes. I just remembered that I forgot to drop my eye drops today, so I felt a little uncomfortable......"
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's really inconvenient to drop eye drops yourself. I'm here to help. β
Juniper's hand seemed to shake slightly, but the eye drops were still managed to drip into Marisa's eyes, no more, no less. Raising her head and closing her eyes for a while, Marisa felt much more comfortable, and was about to continue to follow the two people in front of her, but her shoulder was suddenly bumped: "...... Huh?"
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. β
The person who hit her hurriedly apologized. Suddenly the voice felt familiar, and Marisa looked back, but all she could see was a clump of red hair that had disappeared around the corner. Scratching her head, suspecting that the familiar feeling was an illusion, she continued to wave her hand: "Let's go, let's go, I won't be able to keep up if it's too late!"
"It's not like you're delaying time......"
Juniper grumbled, but his resistance to tracking seemed to have almost vanished. He must be a good person who thinks about his friends, right? Maybe in the future, we can reach a relationship of mutual help in dealing with the relationship between Ouyang Pingshui and Sanae. Suddenly this thought came to her, and Marisa nodded unconsciously and chased after her target.

ββ¦β¦ There's no one around here, you can come out!"
"I said, don't call me out if there's anything going on. Slowly floating out of a small box held by Komachi, Zhu Erliu scratched his head, "Moreover, this is in the inner city of the moon capital!
"I've made sure there's no danger! Besides, I just want to talk to you. It's not easy to go on a mission together, isn't it the same as when I'm alone?"
"Do you think of your mission as a field trip? We must now find the rebel forces of the Moon Hare who cooperate with the underworld, otherwise we will not be able to get up from the surface of the moon......"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I really have something I want to ask. Finally making the look on his face a little more serious, Komachi stared at Zhu Erliu, "I just saw the magic of the Fog and Rain family." There is also the wind blessing of Moriya Shrine. You should know about them, right? Will the two of them affect our operations?"
