"I haven't seen you in half a year and you've become pretty again, Colonel Estes. ”

After the meeting and the tasks of the troops in the 12th district, Estes got together with Xiuzi, an 'old enemy'.

Although it is said to be a gathering, it is just a journey to wander around in the barren wilderness.

After all, there's a lot of work to be done in the new jurisdiction, and there's not a mess left behind by that bastard in Farrant.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for half a year, and yours has changed a lot, Xiuzi~"

Bending over with a wicked smile and a playful expression, Estes looked at Xiuz's eyes that were the same as they had been six months ago

"Good eyes~"

Looking at Xiuzi's eyes at the murderer who revealed a fierce light that was difficult to hide no matter how he concealed it, the eyes of Shura who had been trained by killing again and again.

"Being able to have such eyes means that you have understood the meaning of the battlefield, and you have indeed changed a lot~"

That kind of look is the same look as the eyes of every soldier who has experienced the Great War of Northern Cyprus with Estes. The kind of eyes of a soldier who has really experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"yes, it's changed a lot, it's really changed."

For his own changes, Xiuz also knows, from the change of spirit to thought to the eyes

"So how does it feel to use those eyes? What does it feel like to see the world with these Shura eyes? ~”

Standing up and looking at the smoke-filled city of Ishbal in the distance, Estes waited for Huz's answer

"It's a completely different place than it used to be, this world."

What I once believed, what I believed in was completely changed by the cruel war and reality, in order to survive in order to let the people who were waiting for me to go back. Xiuz changed himself, changed his thoughts and opinions.

"Is it beautiful? ~”

"No, it's very cruel, although I have known for a long time that the road will not be easy to follow, but it is indeed cruel and ruthless beyond imagination."

Standing beside Estes and looking at the city of Ishbal not far away, Shuz was full of emotion

"I used to think that by obeying military orders and following discipline, I could become a useful person to the country, and I have been doing this for two years after graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, and I have always believed in this."

"Even in the face of a big conspiracy that may threaten the safety of his life, he refuses to back down~ What a pure rotten good person."

Recalling what Xiuz did in the Central Committee before, the days when he even did not hesitate to confess in order to entangle himself all day long in order to investigate the case, Estes smiled heartily

"Ah, at that time, I did believe in my own beliefs, and believed that the world would be better if I obeyed the rules and military law, and I really thought so at the time."

That's why Shuz is very hostile to all those who don't follow the rules, and he thinks that the chaos in this country is caused by people not following discipline and laws, and if they all follow the laws, then the country will be much better. But the result is ......

"When did you change your mind?"

If Xiuz hadn't changed his mind, then it would have been impossible for him to stand calmly with Estes, who had broken so many military orders and regulations and military law, and he would have turned around coldly and left without even paying attention.

"Probably after entering the 12th District?"

Recalling the scene he saw after the first time he came to the veritable Shura Field in District 12, Xiuzi still feels that he is very lucky to have survived until now.

When a group of inspectors and gendarmes in the name of upholding military orders and military law were seen shouting and charging with submachine guns; When the order not to retreat forced a group of scarred soldiers to take their weapons and charge the enemy again, when they saw that all the soldiers who did not hesitate to die on the way to charge, when one wave of people died and the inspector team brought another wave of people to charge them, perhaps the mind in Xiuz's mind began to change.

"The so-called principles and ideas are habitual things, and it takes a process from breaking through the original thinking line to forming a new one, and it is normal that you do not realize it."

Seeing that Xiuz looked a little confused, Estes explained first

"Real change is subtle, and deliberate change is always false and unstable."

"Yes, the real change is the accumulation of little by little unconsciously."

Watching his comrades-in-arms fall in a pool of blood one by one, looking at the idiot brigadier general who was insensitive to the actual situation and forced the soldiers to die every time he carried the rules and military orders, and thought that if he obeyed the order, he didn't know when he would become a corpse, and finally changed his mind.

And the reason is simply that they want to go back alive and be reunited with their loved ones.

"Colonel Estes."

Remembering the words he had said to Estes before, those words that seemed to Xiuz to be very excessive now, Xiuz suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Please don't mind what I said when I was in the center before."

Very sincerely, Shuz confronted Estes

"At that time, I was immature and said some stupid things, and I am really sorry."

If Estes hadn't come to the 12th District today, would the other officers have shot that bastard from Farrant?

If no one kills Farrant today, will Shuz be sent to the battlefield tomorrow and die without explanation?

If there were no commander like Estes, the whole country would be bastards like Farrant, how many soldiers would die in vain on the front line? Is there still hope for the country?

Can an idiot officer who has suffered heavy casualties against a group of untrained armed rebels lead an army to defeat a foreign invader and defend the country?

Compared to what he said before, what Xiuz really can't forgive himself is that he once really wanted all officers like Estes to disappear and be arrested and imprisoned, and let very disciplined officers lead the country, but if this is the case...... If all officers obey only military laws and regulations, but do not value the lives of their subordinates......

Maybe Xiuz wouldn't be standing here today. Amestories may have perished long ago.

Estes's justice consisted in destroying the enemy by any means to protect his own people, while the justice of Sütz at that time only recognized those who obeyed the law and discipline, but ignored Estes's justice.

But he thinks that with discipline there is justice, and with justice he can defend his own people, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Without the determination to protect his own people and the courage to destroy the enemy at any cost.

Justice, justice, and law are completely meaningless.

Without such determination and courage, justice will be shelved, justice will be trampled on, and law and order will be a dead letter.

Now Xiuz, after going through the trials of hell, understands this.

Compared with law and discipline, maintaining inner justice is more important than maintaining any law and order.

The so-called law and discipline cannot be used as a standard for measuring a qiē at all.

If there is no heart to uphold justice and a heart to protect the goodness and integrity of human beings, what is the meaning of the black and white words written on the paper?

Isn't it just a despicable wordplay used to trample on the people and their subordinates?

If all the good and righteous people with righteousness in their hearts are killed, then who will maintain and protect the law and justice?

There won't be.

The law comes from a notarized and righteous heart, and without honest and good people, the law is meaningless.

This is the truth that Xiuzi has understood after two months of corpses and a sea of blood.

"I'm really sorry, Colonel Estes, I'm sorry."

An apology shows how much remorse Xiuzi has.

At this time, he couldn't help but start glad that he couldn't send Estes to prison,

If there is no one to defend even an officer like Estes, how much justice will be left of this country? I guess it's really hopeless, right?

Thankfully, she's still around. It seems that the country is still saved.

"Don't say that, Xiuz~"

He understood Schuz's thoughts at this time, and Estes gave Schuz a smile of understanding and understanding

"Anyone matures and progresses only after they have done something."

Thinking back to the most intolerable and forgivable thing he had done since he was a child, the things that worried his parents for not having contact with his family for nearly eight years, even after a few years, Estes still felt guilty about it.

"If you don't go through something and lose something, and go through that deep self-blame and pain, any lessons and experiences are meaningless."

Just like how children can know the meaning of danger, they will stop when they have touched a boiling kettle and know that it is hot, they will be careful to see the road when they know the pain when they fall, they will know what they can't do when they are beaten and scolded by their parents, and they will know the preciousness of life when they see the passing of life, and people will cherish their precious time and life.

"Pain is a knife that cuts through the heavy tumors of the past in our bodies and makes room for the fresh flesh and blood of the future to fill our bodies and hearts again."

Then, quite unexpectedly, he pulled his hand and touched it for Xiuz's chest.

"Only when you know the pain of loss can you understand the value of cherishing and protecting, right? ~”

Sure enough, as soon as he touched the pocket of Xiuz's jacket, Estes found a photo.

The virtuous and beautiful girl in the photo is Cressia, who once had a relationship with Estes.

The kind-hearted Cressia who mistakenly thinks she has something to do with Xiuz. Cressia, who loves Shuz with all her heart.

"Look~ The last time I had a trouble with you, didn't your relationship immediately improve by leaps and bounds? ~It's so close even in the photo~ It must have been very close, right~ Xiuz? ”

Although Estes is usually very serious, he is also really gossip at times, and he always asks questions about some things that interest him.

"That...... Hahaha~ Actually...... It's almost there~hahahaha~~~"

Hearing Estes say this, Xiuz was a little embarrassed. As Estes said, the last time Estes was so troubled, both Xiuz and Cressa suddenly understood a truth.

If you don't catch her/him who you love, she will fly away at any time.

So after Estes left, the relationship between Xiuz and Cressia grew by leaps and bounds, and they finally got engaged before they came. Xiuzi, the anxious guy, has even given away a wedding ring.

The two agreed to get married when the war was over.

Therefore, the quarrel between Estes and Xiuz has accelerated the love process of Xiuz, and now Xiuz is only half a toe away from the identity of the winner in life.

I just went back alive.

"Although it may be a little early, I still have to say congratulations~"

Patting Xiuz on the shoulder encouragingly, Estes gave him an affirmative support

"The opportunity of life is to be able to grasp it as quickly as possible, otherwise it will be miserable if such a good girl is abducted and runaway? ~”

She likes people who can take advantage of opportunities, and Shez is such a person.

"And what about Colonel Estes? Don't you think about your future? ”

After coming to the front line, Xiuz learned that Estes was much more famous in the front-line troops than in the center.

Although there is a huge difference between the image and the center, most of them are "Killing Meiji", "Scarlet Princess", "Future Queen", and "Invincible Big Sister Head"

This kind of title, but it's really a celebrity.

After all, he is a bull man who twists the entire northern war situation with a force of less than 1,000 people, and he is proficient in alchemy and is young and beautiful, and he is in a high position.

Such a person is not normal without an admirer, right?

"I don't have that in mind yet."

Now Estes is obsessed with the battlefield rather than someone, and is obsessed with killing rather than anything else

"And I basically have an alternative goal~"

"Oh? Then I'll have to ...... in advance."

"I don't even know the gender of the other party."

“…………”

Retracting what he just said, Colonel Estes is really abnormal in some places, very abnormal!

Even men and women are ready to fall in love without figuring it out?! That's really ......

It's so powerful!
