Chapter 16: The Moment When the Target Disappears

"Squad leader, there shouldn't be anyone bothering here. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With that, Lane shrugged his shoulders, his face slightly teasing and full of light-hearted banter.

Did you feel the relaxed taste that Lane wanted to express? Emma also smiled: "I really didn't expect it, Li Entong...... Will think of this. ”

The location of the two is a place that will never be disturbed.

The Grey Rider, Valimar's cockpit.

What the Riding God was, Rien couldn't understand at all. Anyway, in terms of manifestation, it's a giant robot that can't ride except for Ryan and certain people he's allowed to ride.

Ah, I can only sigh that the ancient people were really powerful.

Anyway, with the previous limitation, basically no one can disturb this space.

Perhaps because of this sense of security that the two of them were alone, Emma quietly omitted the suffix of "classmate" and tried to call him Lane.

Sneaking a glimpse of Rien's side face, there was no sense of anything other than an expectant smile. Emma could only laugh at her own mixed mind - she could still think of such a thing at this time! The boy was already wide-minded, but how could he notice such a trivial matter as changing his name!

Because the rider was not fully activated, there was only minimal lighting inside, and the colorful invisible patterns floating in the space became the only light, and in this changing color, Emma's face changed color, and the glasses of the good girl felt reflected with gorgeous brilliance.

Maybe it's embarrassing to be looked at by Lane, right? Emma thought silently, raised her hand, and a bright ball of light appeared in front of the two of them, illuminating the dark and deep space at once, and the outline of the cold metallic bright seat in the driver's seat was clearly visible.

"Aha...... At this time, I will feel that the squad leader is really a witch. ”

"Ah...... It's too much, did Lane always think I was lying to you? ”

Emma pouted dissatisfiedly, as the squad leader, she was suspected of being really unhappy. What's more, I didn't lie. What could be more frustrating than being suspected without warranty?

Emma is no exception.

Being so suspicious, even if she is good-natured, she will never approve of it.

"Ahaha...... I'm sorry, I just think, witch or something, there's no sense of reality...... Actually, I still don't dare to believe in the god of riding or something. It felt so supernatural......"

Seeing that Emma was angry, he quickly apologized, for fear that Emma's fire would intensify.

"Ah...... That's right. If someone suddenly tells me that they are vampires or something, I guess that's how I react, right? ”

It is worthy of being the most rational existence in Class 7, and he quickly understood Li En's words, and looked at Emma's smiling face, Li En breathed a sigh of relief.

"Na...... Seriously, does the squad leader care about Miss Vita? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. ”

Emma's eyes were a little distracted.

It's hard to explain to Rien what kind of emotion it is.

For Vita, it's a blend of affection and longing.

It is arrogant, elegant, talented, omnipotent, and is known as the existence of a rare witch.

That's who Emma longs for, and that's what Emma wants to be the most.

She never felt that she was a weak witch, but she never felt that she was a talented witch.

General level.

This is how Emma positions herself.

Everything, it's average.

Even if you get the first place in school, it's just because the school questions are too simple.

"I ...... I guess I'm looking forward to Sister Vita. ”

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

Rien listened quietly, not daring Emma to raise her guts.

"So...... I don't understand it very much...... No, it should be said, I don't want Sister Vita to leave me...... Also, I was very afraid of Sister Vita, so I went down a different path than me...... What should I do if my target is lost? ”

There was a deep confusion in her words.

As she said, in fact, if Vita really left because of love, Emma is not incomprehensible, and she doesn't have to destroy it.

However, Emma was scared.

I'm afraid I'm going to be someone else. I'm afraid that Vita will turn into someone else. Fear that you will lose your purpose because of this.

To put it bluntly, what she was afraid of was really [fear] herself.

This feeling...... Honestly, Lane has had that too.

Rhine rarely mentions that he is not the biological child of the lord of Yumir in the north of the empire.

He is an adopted son.

Since he is an adopted son, no matter when, he will have an inferiority complex for his son-in-law.

This sad gap cannot be bridged no matter how much love both parties give. It can be ignored, it can be overcome, however, it will never go away.

Rien understood Emma well, and he used to be like that, longing for his sister, Elysie, the daughter of Lord Yumir.

He was once as confused as Emma, and he used to be as worried as Emma.

Therefore, when playing outside with his sister at one point, he encountered a violent monster, and Li En would choose to come forward.

There is naturally the love of being an older brother in this.

But...... It is also mixed with Li En's heart, "If I die to protect Elysie, will I take Elyse's place and become the child with the deepest memory of my parents?" "This kind of thought.

There is also the negativity of "if I die, then I don't have to worry about everything".

Human beings are like that, very few people act because of some pure thought. Under a certain dominant feeling, there are often subtle feelings that others don't know.

"I ...... I can probably understand the class leader. Worrying about your future, hoping that you can become someone else, hoping that you can exceed your goals, can feel lost. But...... It's not a bad thing to be so confused, right? At least, if you're confused, don't you know where you started to go wrong, and if you reflect on it now, you'll find it, right? New goals, new paths, and ...... A new future. ”

Lane's words were very scattered, he was not a very good person at persuading others, not to mention, half of these words were spoken to himself.

He never stopped being harsh on himself.

"That'...... Lee, have you ever had a goal? ”

Emma asked suddenly.

"I ...... There have been before. It's Elyse, ah, the squad leader has seen it, right? It's my sister, a very cute girl. Then there is the tour instructor...... No, no, the instructor, I just admired him, and I didn't want to be like him............ Recent words......"

For some reason, the face of a boy with a flirtatious smile came to his mind.

Yes......

This person......

"Chloe ......"

Dawn muttered the name.

"Senior Chloe?"

Emma's expression also darkened.

Because......

Chloe? The name Ambst...... Now it has a completely different meaning.

Chloe is the senior of Class 7 and a transfer student of Class 7.

He was a second-year student and a member of the first Experimental Class.

Meantime......

He is also the leader of the terrorist organization [Imperial Liberation Front]. Comrade C. Now that I think about it, the C of Comrade C is really the initials of Crow.

Moments before the satellite artillery attack on the Empire, he unleashed a nationwide riot. As a terrorist organization, it intends to assassinate Osborne, the Prime Minister of the Empire.

If it weren't for the satellite cannon, he probably would have succeeded.

I don't know, how happened to him.

"Ahaha...... It's not so much that I want to be like a senior...... Actually, I just ...... I want to bring my seniors back...... Isn't it...... Too fantastical? ”

Lane smiled awkwardly.

This is his heart.

Lane is not a man with big ambitions, nor is he a man full of enthusiasm.

He just wants to live his campus life well, and seriously, if he can choose, he will definitely not ride the Riding God, and he will definitely not participate in any expeditionary forces.

His wish is only to graduate with the seventh class with whom he has formed a bond.

This group of people includes everyone in Class 7, as well as transfer student Chloe, and Miriam from the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency.

Lane would take the Karejas in order to reclaim his future with his own hands. In order to be able to graduate safely from the Toluz Military Academy......

After saying it, I felt unambitious.

However, this is what Lane wants.

"Bring it back?"

"Hmm...... I want to graduate with everyone. Isn't it naΓ―ve? ”

The cadets actually wanted to graduate with the terrorists, and Lane himself felt that it was too idealistic.

"Poof......

Emma smiled.

"Huh?"

"Hahahaha......"

"Squad, squad leader?"

"I didn't ...... I just feel like Lane-san. ”

"Ahaha, don't hurt me."

Seeing Emma laughing like this, Lane herself felt more and more embarrassed.

"No, I just think, Li En, you really ...... Hehe...... It's so much fun. Also, it's very gentle. ”

"Well, there's only this kind of gentleness, which can't be refuted."

Suddenly, in the empty cockpit, a third voice was heard.

"Oops?!"

Emma was startled, and Riene was visibly trembling.

"What, you're not the only ones who can come in here."

With such a helpless complaint, a black cat with a shiny coat jumped on Lien's lap in dissatisfaction. Then he gracefully stepped on the catwalk, the real catwalk, and walked to Emma's lap, and lay down lazily.

"Serenu?!"

Emma's voice trembled a little, and she forgot that there was also this black cat!

"You, you, when are you going to start?!"

"Ah...... From the very beginning. I've been resting in it...... And suddenly you came in. ”

"Wow Wow Wow Wow !!"

History is always strikingly similar, and Lane doesn't know what he did wrong to encounter such an embarrassing thing twice in a row.

Fortunately, the staff soon came here to call the two of them to the dinner, which ended the embarrassment.
