Chapter 17: Former Best Friends

Falsified history,Self who came back from the dead,Hidden support department building,This wonderful shy girl......

A series of inexplicable events, alternating in Guy's brain, made him feel a subtle sense of clarity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Maybe this girl is the key to unlocking it all?

At least an important clue!

Thinking so, Guy touched his nose and spoke to her as harmless as possible.

I don't know if it's because of my attitude? Or is it because of Lloyd's connection? The girl, who identified herself as Rui, slowly confided in Guy.

What a beauty.

That's Guy's first reaction - hey, what's wrong! That's how a man should react! The first reaction of women who are seen by normal men must be to see if they look good! It's human nature!

Guy convinced himself so easily, thinking of strange thoughts.

Weak girls, as well as long black fluttering hair, these are all things that men like, and her voice is exceptionally clear.

At the same time, Guy was also sure that he must not know her, otherwise he would definitely have a memory for such a cute girl.

Rui's words were very fragmentary, she basically thought of what to say, and at this point in time, she was completely confused...... Whether it's her backbone Yu Tatsumi, or the other special mission support departments that can be relied on, all of them are gone, Zeatt is gone, the section chief is gone, everyone is gone...... A girl's world has collapsed, and it's normal to panic.

From those fragmentary words, Guy finally managed to sort out a timeline after his death.

Really...... Pretty exciting, Lloyd.

And, it's very well done.

Guy shrugged, praising his brother in his heart.

I've grown into a pretty good man.

But......

What Guy cares more about is the man named Yu Tatsumi that Rui mentions over and over again.

He didn't know anything about this person, he was an "outsider". Therefore, although Guy drew up a list of people who could be from the Support Division, and there was also Yutatsumi in it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Heck, my intuition is not accurate at this time.

Guy teased himself in his heart, he should have gone to talk to him if he knew it, although he was in a coma the first time, maybe he would see him the second or third time?

In a word......

"Anyway, miss, I have a lot of questions for you...... Would you mind coming with me? Well, I promise I won't do strange things. ”

“……”

Silence.

Rui struggled to lower her head, shielding her face with her long hair.

Indeed, true knowledge completely opened Rui's defenses, but that was only on occasions when there was You Chensi. It's a feeling of "having no fear". Because she knew that You Chensi would never let herself get hurt. So she can speak and do things without any scruples.

However, now that You Tatsumi is gone, and she has become lonely again, her autistic personality has returned, and she is silent and does not answer.

"Well, I can't guarantee anything, but I want to know the truth."

Guy didn't force it, he changed his tone and talked to Rui about himself easily. This is a technique that Tio had only learned when escorting Remifilia back: if the girl is silent to you, then you have to say something about yourself.

"The truth?"

"Yes. I want to know all the truth. Whether it's the hidden support department, or my death, I want to know everything. What the hell happened...... No, what the hell is happening now......"

Guy paused, replacing his tone from the past tense to the continuous tense.

Rui was stunned, she sighed that she was worthy of being a brother, and the words she said were very similar, however, she couldn't say a word of her full stomach.

"Please......"

Guy lowered his head, his brown hair that began to curl reminded Rui of a large dog.

“…… I...... I think...... Looking for Youchen ......"

"Well, I'll help. Let's help each other! You came to assist me in my investigation, and I will definitely help Yu Tatsumi when my investigation is over. If he is innocent, then he can be released as long as he goes through the proper legal process. Thanks to the current Cross Bell's 'sound legal system'. ”

Guy smiled self-deprecatingly.

Because of the change of the enemy, it has become a help for himself.

If it was still Crossbell in the gap between the two powers, I am afraid that he would not be able to rescue You Tatsumi. It is a pity that it is now the independent Duchy of Crossbell, and according to the law, it is illegal to detain a person for no reason.

"This ......"

"There's no way to just stay in your room and pray, right? You have to take the first step. If you want to fly, you have to spread your wings and do nothing, you can't do anything. ”

"Want to fly...... Want...... Spread your wings? ”

Rui's eyes were foggy, and she didn't know what was going on in her mind, and although she seemed to be chatting with Guy, she didn't know where her thoughts went.

"Hmm."

"You...... Please...... I want to save Youchen out. ”

"Well, then, let's look for evidence - I want to get my brother out sooner. Otherwise, it would be terrible if he escaped from prison! ”

"Hmmm......"

Rui finally agreed. Small steps followed Guy, and the two of them walked downstairs.

"I'm sorry, Guy. I can't let you take her away. ”

In the hall on the first floor, someone had already come first.

A long brown trench coat, long blue hair, a scar on his cheeks, and ...... The knife in his hand.

"Yo, Arios, you didn't come to drink with you before, it's not interesting enough for you - I won't listen to you this time, I'm mad at you."

Guy laughed and teased him, and at the same time, quietly holding the grip of the whirlpool with his hands behind his back.

Arios is a man who doesn't smile, and he definitely doesn't stop himself because of jokes or anything like that, so ......

He was serious, the girl was important to him, or rather, to the people who controlled Arios.

"Guy...... Please. Stop pursuing this...... I don't want ...... Kill you twice. ”

"Twice?"

Guy smiled. When Arios said this, he remembered instead......

Before his own death...... In the Orchid Tower, which was a construction site at the time, the two men had a fierce confrontation.

But...... You didn't kill me that time. Kill my ......

That is to say...... Was it really you who killed Guy that time? ”

Another voice came from behind Arios.

Arios turned in shock, took two steps to his feet, and ducked sideways to get away.

Behind him was a man dressed in a delicate swordsmanship robe, the clothes could be clearly reinforced in many places, the fabrics were of high quality, the patterns were fine, and a dragon-patterned jade pendant fell from his waist. He has short blackboard hair, which can be clearly seen to be cut off, and under the hair curtain, there is an expression of indifference like an iceberg. He held a sword in each of his left and right hands, and the silver blade was as cold as his face.

"Brother Xia?!"

Guy couldn't help but scream, he was too busy looking for clues, but he had left this forgetfulness to forget.

Guy and Arios and Sergei, all three of them were police officers back then, and the combination of the three was called Sergeiban, and they didn't take care of this man back then.

The head of the heartless stream, the heartless sword saint Xia Xiyan.

I have forgotten the initial opportunity. Unconsciously, on the table where Guy and Arios were drinking, there was an additional swordsman who was silently drinking tea.

He always didn't say a word, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face. Guy wasn't impressed with him, but Arios knew that the friendship between the three was ...... How heavy is it to be looked at by Xia Xiyan.

It was the day after Guy died.

When Xia Xiyan heard the news, she fainted for several days.

After that, this ordinary person who did not have the slightest fighting spirit, walked out of the city gate with a sword, cut it when he saw a demonic beast, killing all the way, when Arios found him, he saw for the first time this man who was as calm as water, as if he had no heart, showed a frantic expression, his eyebrows were lowered, tears kept gushing out of the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were cracked like rage, as if he was roaring, but there was no sound.

Arios accompanied him insane for two whole days, watching the man's killing without eating or sleeping, until he fainted with all his strength.

As a result, both Arios and Xia Xiyan missed Guy's funeral.

Guy didn't know, but Arios really saw how important this sunny and cheerful brother was in the hearts of others.

Perhaps, the only one who feels indifferent is Guy himself.

"Arios...... You ......"

Guy frowned, he didn't know what was going on.

"Guy, you go first. This man, I'm going to settle accounts with him. ”

Xia Xiyan was rarely angry.

The sword in his left and right hands was clenched tightly by him, and the blade trembled slightly.

"......"

"Guy, you still have something to do. Can't be dragged here. ”

"I ...... I know. I'm sorry, but I'll come to you with good tea afterwards! I'm sorry! ”

Guy knew that now was not the time to be rash, and regardless of Rui's feelings, he reached out and hugged Rui's waist, as if carrying rice, held her on the shoulder, and escaped through the back door on the second floor.

Arios was silent for a long time, flying to chase, but the first step, Xia Xiyan's sword blade stopped him in the way.

"Where do you want to go. Arios. ”

“…… Go kill him a second time. ”

Knowing that Xia Xiyan would be angry and crazy, Arios still deliberately chose a statement that would make him angry.

"Good."

Xia Xiyan stepped forward silently and stopped in front of him.

"Get out of the way. Mr. Xia, otherwise, I will cut you together. It's not for justice, it's for selfish desires. I'll do it. ”

"You can't win me."

"However, it is different when you have a vindictiveness. This is not just a competition of swordsmanship. ”

"You can't win me."

Xia Xiyan repeated, and Arios sighed, and his heart was relieved.

Xia Xiyan, as he thought, did not let himself go.

He set up his sword.

From that day, the day of the light rain, Arios was begging for death.

He couldn't forgive himself for killing his partner with his own hands, and killing the big boy who was like a big dog, who was very warm and warm to everyone.

I was fascinated for a while, but I couldn't turn back.

He didn't choose to cut himself, that would be too unfair to the dead Guy...... It's even more unfair to the living droplets and the living Cecil.

He originally wanted to provoke Lloyd and let Guy's brother kill him with his own hands to avenge himself.

Now think about it, if it was at the hands of Guy's best friend, Xia Xiyan...... Not bad, huh? (To be continued.) )
