In my mind, a picture scroll that had been dusty for a long time slowly unfolded.

Dad hasn't passed away, grandpa hasn't left, mom isn't as dedicated to work as she is now, and she's still a child.

A family of four, harmonious and happy, that was the happiest time in her memory.

At that time, even if my mother was busy with work, she would travel with her family.

I remember that I went to a place further north than Lure, and there was snow in the sky, on the ground, and on the mountains, and it was very white and beautiful.

Grandpa led the little Alyssa to lie on the side of the wooden guardrail, pointed to the distance and said happily: "Look, Alyssa's scenery is very beautiful." ”

Alyssa clapped her little hands excitedly; "Well, it's beautiful."

"Hey, you two. It's a hurry to book a trip, so hurry up. The mother on the platform urged.

"Gee, it's okay. It's a rare vacation, so you can relax a little. Dad smiled and persuaded Mom

All I want is for my family to be happy together, but such simple happiness is just a luxury for me.

Alyssa exhaled a long breath, as if trying to exhale the turbidity from her lungs. But the more this happens, the stronger the sense of loss in my heart.

"It's stupid to be alone and busy."

"Alyssa." A familiar voice sounded in the background.

"Lane" Alyssa gave a dry smile, and everyone knew she was stubborn.

"Don't be reckless at this time, you can't even walk."

"I, I'm just in a daze, as long as the wind blows, I'll be fine-ahh Before she could finish speaking, Alyssa felt a trance, her knees went limp, and she fell forward.

Planted into a not too broad, but very warm embrace.

"Look at you, you just said it and fell." Naturally, it was Lane who supported her, "I've been riding my horse all day, I'm tired." ”

"yes, yes." Only at this time will Alyssa become frank, "I didn't even find out about that kind of thing"

"Sit down, I'll help you relax your meridians."

"That, that, thank you."

When you walk with your head down, you only look at your feet. When you stop, you see the sky above you.

It was the same with Alyssa, who sat down and saw the starry sky overhead.

The starry sky on the plateau is clearer and deeper than elsewhere, perhaps because of the closer to the sky, the stars appear larger and brighter.

The starry sky is really beautiful, the beauty is pure, and the beauty doesn't need any superfluous adjectives, it's just a snake to add to it.

As long as I look at the starry sky in the distance, the whole person feels much purer, and the troubles slowly drift away with the night breeze.

"If you want to blow the wind, it's better to look up than to keep your head down." Lai En, who had finished his work, stretched his waist and fell on the grass casually, letting out a comfortable snort.

"Yes, indeed." Perhaps it was really purified by the starry sky, and Alyssa also put aside her reserve and lay down beside Dawn, letting the breeze ruffle her hair.

Leisurely and cozy.

I don't know how long it took, but Alyssa slowly spoke about her past. (Looking at the picture, the two of them look like afterward.) ）

--My father, who was a technician, passed away eight years ago, and this changed my family a lot. At that time, my mother, who was a manager, began to bury herself in expanding her career, and I almost didn't know if there would be a chance to eat together for 3 months. Instead, I was accompanied by my grandfather and Sharon. ”

"Sharon, she must have been at the Ryan Forte house for about 7 years. Because of my family background, I really had very few friends when I was a child. The children of the aristocracy alienated me, and the children of the commoners looked at me differently. However, because of the two of them, at least I don't feel lonely. My grandfather introduced me to various leisure interests such as horseback riding and violin. Sharon taught me self-defense, archery, and the etiquette of a noble child. ”

"On the contrary, Mom, she ignores the meaning of her grandfather, who is the president, and expands the group boundlessly."

"From steel and railroads to chariots and guns, I have made a lot of products that would be ridiculed as 'Merchant of Death'. It's complicated, but I'm never ashamed of it. ”

"However, when I think about what our family has made in the past few years, I feel that it is too much."

"It's a train cannon." Lai knew it.

"You do." Alyssa sat up slightly, clasping her hands on her knees, "Eastern of the Empire, two train guns set up in the Galylian Fortress." The world's largest long-range guide gun, the range covers the entire territory of "Crossbell", which is fighting for sovereignty with the Republic. It is said that in just 2 hours, the city of Crossbell with a population of 500,000 can be destroyed. ”

"That's not war, it's just slaughter." Rien sighed softly. That's why it was dismantled by the White God Machine and dug up an ice cream on the fortress. If it weren't for Kia's unintentional killing, the entire Fifth Division would no longer exist.

Therefore, the train cannon must be destroyed, it must be destroyed before Kiya awakens, and there can be no excuse for the god machine to fire! -- I'll do it myself, Dawn Schwarzer.

Riene's plan, Alyssa did not know, she continued to tell.

"Grandpa had the same idea when he saw the weapons that his mother had completed according to the order. He seemed annoyed, thinking that his company had made a weapon that would be damned. Then, when he was hesitating whether to hand over the two train cannons to the Imperial Army, he was betrayed by his mother, who was the manager. ”

"She has co-opted all the major shareholders of the Lane Forte Group. From the Marquis of Rogner, Lord of Luray, to the powerful people of the Imperial Army, under the pressure of both the reformers and the aristocratic faction, Grandpa had no choice but to retire, and Mom became the new president. ”

"Grandpa, he, left me and left Lane Fort. I thought that Sharon, who was on my side, only listened to the words of her employer, that is, my mother. ”

"These were all five years ago."

Li En, who is a traverser, has long known about this past, but he has heard the person concerned talk about it, but he has a different feeling.

Whatever Gunn and Irina each think, they both hurt the heart of a twelve-year-old child, a girl who longs for the warmth of home and the company of her loved ones.

"Alyssa, you shouldn't be able to accept it." Lane also sat up, "I can't accept the breakdown of the family more than what my mother did." ”

"yes, yes. The mother who framed her biological father, and the grandfather who silently accepted everything, I couldn't accept them, and Sharon, who was once so gentle, didn't say anything to me. The Lane Forte Group is much bigger than I thought, and I really don't want to admit that under such heavy oppression, the bonds between family members are meaningless. Perhaps it was because of this that I left my hometown to enter the Military Academy. ”

"Hehe, as a result, I can't escape the palm of my mother and my family. Grandpa also enjoyed his second life in his own way, leisurely. And what exactly am I doing? Just when I'm feeling a little depressed," Alyssa stretched out her hand, as if to touch the light, "looking up at the starry sky, I feel that everything doesn't matter. I think I finally understood why my grandfather moved to this place. ”

"Well, Alyssa is really strong." The words of comfort reached Riene's mouth, and he finally swallowed back, "If you can say that, it means that you have grasped the opportunity to move forward, right?" ”

"That's right." Alyssa smiled, and the laughter was crisp, "If I have mastered something, I think it must be because I entered the Military Academy." I am a companion in Class VII and a fan of the club, because I can meet friends who treat each other sincerely, so that I can be strong. So, thank you. Thank you for worrying about me, thank you for giving me the opportunity to look up. ”

"No thanks." Rien smiled too, and his smile was gentle.

"You just said I'm strong, but haven't you also put in a lot of effort? During the internship, he also served as the captain and led everyone. ”

"Because I'm used to it, I've been running around since I was 12 years old, and before I know it, it's still far away. Compared to that goal, my strength is far from enough. ”

"Ryne." Alyssa put her hand on Rien's head, "You're already good, no, I should say you're the best person I've ever met." I've learned a lot from you, and I think everyone is the same. I don't know what your goal is, but I believe that if it were you, it would be possible. ”

"Hearing you say that, I seem pretty good?"

"Pretty impressive!" Alyssa nodded earnestly.

"Really? Then keep it up. Li En closed his eyes, his heart lake was like a mirror, reflecting a bright galaxy, and the shackles imposed on his body seemed to be loosened a little.

"Looks like you've got the opportunity to move forward, right?" Alyssa said with some evil eyes, "It's not bad to give you back what you just said to me, and let you know how humiliating you always say things without changing your face?" ”

"It's nerve-wracking, and you're going to be a general." The sublimation of the mood brought about an improvement in perception, and the three sneaky figures not far away happened to be captured by him, "I said when you plan to hide." ”

“！！！” Alyssa grunted and got up, glaring at Gaius, Jusis, and Emma who were eavesdropping, "You, you, how many of you, have been there since the end?" ”

"Looks like you've got the opportunity to move forward, right?" Jusis recounted it in a serious way.

"Don't, don't say it." Alyssa hurriedly waved her hand, "That's just to give him back Lane's disgraceful lines." Ahh Forget it, in that case, you all join me too! Let's talk about some shameful youthful blood speeches! ”

"Hey, please, please wait a minute!" For Emma panicked.

"Hmph, I refuse." Jusses expressed calmness.

"I say, Gaius." Dawn looked up again and looked at the starry sky, "This is a great place. ”

"yes, yes."

(Ding Dong, Alyssa's friendship has increased, and she can use the S skill - Rosetta's Arrow.) ）
