The dialogue on the fourth floor of The Pivot continues.

"He gave up our entire troupe to a wealthy acquaintance of his." Luciola's tone revealed a sadness, "No matter how much I continue to be the head of the regiment, it will only drag us down, since this is the case, it is better to let a trusted friend take over-I am afraid that he has always thought so in his heart." ”

"Why, why, why," said Sherazade, incoherently excited, "if you consult with us, we will definitely help." ”

When he explained everything to me, I advised him to do the same, but he was surprisingly stubborn and did not listen at all. It seems that she thinks that it is so useless, and staying will only add to the burden on us" Luciola really knows her head very well.

"Then for this reason, my sister will give the head of the regiment," Shelazadeh, the last two words could not be said in any case.

"That's right, for me, his decision was an unforgivable betrayal. Give me cheap happiness, but take away all the joy of the past" Luciola's charming eyes were engulfed in darkness and chaos, "I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place." I'd rather everything be the same as ever, no troupe, no everything, so I killed him. ”

"What am I then?"

"Huh?"

"My happiness was given to my sister by the head of the regiment, which is the warmth of human affection that I have never felt when I lived in the slums," Shellazade's tears dripped down in large numbers, "but then the head of the regiment died, and my sister also left, this kind of thing, isn't this kind of betrayal more cruel?" ”

"Hehe, yes, Shelazad, you have every reason to hate me. You can come and fight me with this hatred. ”

Lucy's big sleeves fluttered, the dancing fan stretched, and bursts of white mist rolled up, and the yin and yang gods appeared beside her.

"If you can't defeat me here, you're just going to die. This "Dance of Illusion", you can break it and watch it! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the fifth floor of "Central Tower", a purple-haired Lori dressed in a Gothic dress and carved in pink is sitting next to the pillar, holding her cheeks with both hands, not knowing what she is thinking.

"Ling" Estiel, Joshua, and Tita walked over.

"You're here." Ling got up slowly, her face did not have the same bright smile as usual, her eyes were not so clear, and the whole person was confused.

"Ahhh Tita summoned up her courage and asked weakly.

"Ling is thinking about things, but she hasn't figured it out yet." Ling raised her head and looked at it, and found that in addition to the three people in front of her, there was only one red hair left in the distance, "What about Lien, why didn't you come." ”

"He said he had important things to do and should be on his way." Joshua replied.

"Now, if Ling has any troubles, why don't you tell us." Estelle carried the sunshine and tried to illuminate the darkness in Rei's heart.

"Li En said that Ling's heart is missing, so he can't sleep well, so he always has nightmares Ling asked Levigo, but Levigo said that he didn't count, Deling went to find Estil by herself, do you know why?"

Estelle understood, but didn't know how to explain it, and fell silent.

"I think what Lane said was a little bit inaccurate." Joshua thought for a moment, "Ling is not lacking, but she is too scared, so she hides her true feelings. ”

"Fear of true feelings"

"Ling, I know, in 'Grantelle', when you were with us, you weren't pretending." Estelle smiled, "It's really fun, isn't it?" ”

"I, I also think Ling is really happy." Tita waved her little fist, "Because, because when Ling and Tita went shopping, the way they laughed was not the same as after. ”

"That's, that's"

"Ling, you have become like this, me and Levy are responsible." Joshua sighed, "When you met us, you were too young to understand anything, so you returned to the Society with us. The people there are carrying such and such a dark past, and in order to protect yourself, you can only gradually become like us, maybe you met Estelle at the beginning, and you won't"

"Don't say that!" Ling's voice raised, "If it weren't for Levi and Joshua, Ling, Ling might still be in the hands of those bad guys, maybe she would have died a long time ago"

"That's proof of your desire for warmth, Rei." Joshua's smile soothed Ling's mind, "At that time, I was a puppet who only knew how to kill, and I couldn't give you the warmth you wanted. Leveco takes care of me and you on the other, and the warmth he can give you is too little, too little for your past. ”

Ling was speechless.

"Ling, I want to apologize to you." Estelle walked up to Ling and bowed her head deeply, "Before, I said that it was my selfish intention not to want Ling to stay in "Association", I don't know that Ling's past is just talking nonsense, it's me who is wrong, I'm sorry." ”

"Estelle"

"It's just that there's one thing I want you to know." Esther straightened up, her eyes burning, "As long as Ling is willing to come, our door will always be open for you, just like Joshua"

"Ling, Ling, I've always regarded you as a friend, my best friend." Tita leaned her little face over as well, "So, no matter what Ling looks like or where she is, you can come and play with me at any time." I'll be sure to be ready for a lot of delicious and fun stuff."

"I don't need to say more, you've been my family for a long time." Joshua spread his hands, after all, Ling's favorite ones were Levi and Joshua.

The clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and a ray of sunshine sprinkled down, wrapping everyone and Ling together, and warmth spread from the bottom of their hearts.

Ling took two steps back, raised her right hand, and called, "Patil Matil."

With Ling's summoning, the purple-red giant humanoid weapon descended from the sky and landed with a bang.

"Ling, what are you?"

"Lane said last time that strength is not only strength, but also heart, and then I asked Levis, and he thought so." Ling picked up the giant scythe placed aside and stood in front of Patil Matiel, "So, if you really want to be friends with Ling, let's defeat Ling and Patil Matiel." ”

"However, the rules laid down by the Professor"

"Well, you can cancel it by operating the terminal over there, don't worry. "Professor" has just started "Ring", and there is no way to operate too finely. Ling dispelled everyone's doubts, "Ling will do her best, if you are careless, you will die." ”

"Really, Lane, do something in trouble." Agaté pursed his lips and crossed his sword to his chest.

"However, thanks to him, we finally have the opportunity to convey our hearts." Joshua drew his black sword.

"Hmm." Tita nodded vigorously and placed her hands on the shoulder straps as the huge backpack behind her began to stretch and deform.

Two new guide cannons stick out from her back and rest on Tida's small shoulders, and the red and white cannon bodies are an upgraded version of the miniature guide guns she has been using.

Two new guided machine guns passed under her armpits and were fixed to her waist, with magazines of various styles and functions hanging from her belt. This is based on the special bullets seized during the last kidnapping of Dr. Russell. Yes, you have made meritorious contributions again.

The two-tube thruster is lifted from the backpack and can freely change the direction of propulsion. A small anti-gravity device is in the center of the pack, which allows Tida's petite body to carry the steel armament.

Two rows of pulleys pop out from the bottom of the running shoe, and together with the thrusters, the engine power can be greatly increased for high-speed sports battles.

Finally, Tita pulled down the special goggles, not only to protect her eyes, but also to display the intelligence of the weapon.

This is Dr. Russell's meticulous battle suit for his granddaughter! In addition, the plan to build a Gundam OrbalGear for Tita was already in the works!

Others are rich and capricious, nothing more than buying, buying, buying. The Russell family not only has money (Liber spends countless dollars on research a year), but also has very top-notch technology, which is willful, and we only know that the master of the Madoc workshop has relapsed countless stomach problems because of their family's willfulness, and has prayed to the goddess countless times, and is more pious than the bishop.

"Come on, Ling, I'll show you what we think." Estelle raised the long stick, Ai Ye was mighty!

"Patil Matir, all restrictions are lifted, and the contribution is the greatest." Rei's eyes became hollow, "Rei, annihilation!" ”

The guide cannon roars interactively!

This battle has nothing to do with winning or losing, this battle has nothing to do with grievances, this battle is just to convey the heart.
