The next day, the second volume of "Violet Evergarden" was released in major bookstores as scheduled.

The second volume, after Su Chen's magic change, revolves around the last two episodes of the animation.

That is, the hijacking of the continental steam train that has been magically modified.

After the Continental War, most of the anti-peace forces that had attacked Cuturigao had been suppressed.

While some of the opposition are still on the run, this group intends to join up with the remaining opposition forces and continue to stir up contradictions between the north and the south.

This time, Leiden Shafertrich, Violet's country, as the victorious side, will send ambassadors to attend the peace signing ceremony by crossing the countries of the North and the South by the North-South Railway.

The ambassador who went to the ceremony was Violet and her colleagues and friends.

And the high-level military is afraid that the reactionary forces will make trouble on the way of the ambassador, after all, this ceremony is too important, and it is completely an important ceremony related to the future of the entire continent.

However, since Shao Zuo was no longer there, the army unit was disbanded, so the military found Shao Zuo's elder brother Da Zuo and wanted to borrow Da Zuo's naval unit to carry out the task of escorting the ambassador by train.

After the train started, the reactionaries also acted quickly.

The group first burned down the railway line so that the train had to stop, and then took advantage of the situation to infiltrate the train, attack the train's passengers, and turn peace into war again.

Therefore, blowing up the iron bridge is also an important part of this plan.

It can not only slow down the pace of the North and the South, but also be difficult to repair after the damage...... Classic blown up bridge section.

At this point in the plot, the whole development direction can be said to be very cliché.

Almost all readers can guess the subsequent plot direction.

It is nothing more than Violet and Dazuo turning their rivalry into jade silk, joining forces to save the train and destroy the conspiracy of the reactionaries.

But under the embellishment of Su Chen's delicate style, it is such an old-fashioned passage, but readers still take the trouble to buy it, which is very powerful.

In the follow-up plot, everything is also logical.

The reactionaries first separated the carriages with explosives, and then everyone gathered at the head of the carriages, ready to blow up the iron bridge.

Violet and Osa, who had lost most of their troops, desperately tried to stop them.

Yes, the whole process is like those domestic anti-Japanese dramas.

The two joined forces, and with a small broken pistol and physical skills, they smashed an entire group of reactionaries.

It's a bit of a ripped off, but the atmosphere and details are handled very well.

Especially at the top of the train, Violet and Da Zuo wanted to protect each other and completely resolve the conflict, and Da Zuo's psychological description also made all readers a little surprised.

Violet did not hesitate to break her prosthetic limbs to block bullets for Dazuo, and this scene really moved Dazuo completely at that time.

[The props I abandoned became Gilbert's dog.]

But he lost his arms and lost his master.

After losing everything, for some reason.

But she was still standing......]

In fact, after learning the news of his brother's death, Dazuo was the most uncomfortable, and he always regarded Violet as a killing machine, a doom machine that killed Gilbert.

So Osa didn't have any good feelings for Violet at first.

But in this operation, all the things that Violet showed really influenced Dazuo.

What was once a killing machine, a former prop, has grown into a gentle and knowledgeable kind woman who never wants anyone to die anymore.

Eventually, Osa and Violet defeated most of the reactionary forces involved in the train plan, and the leader of the reactionary army laughed miserably and, having lost all his subordinates, chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

It was originally a happy situation, but the two faced a problem.

The train won't stop.

The train that is about to enter the iron bridge cannot brake, and there are bombs left by the reactionaries on the iron bridge, and if the train passes by, it will definitely explode instantly, whether it is the iron bridge, the train or the people, they will all be in an instant.

In such a desperate situation, Wei Mei's god of war attribute awakened.

A few parkourers jump from the train to the iron bridge, and with only one prosthetic leg, Violet single-handedly dismantles the bomb, causing it to explode on the lake away from the train.

And she herself lost her second prosthetic leg because of this, and was rescued by Dazuo in a thrilling way.

The crisis was completely resolved.

The only remaining men and horses of the reactionaries, including the leaders, were defeated, and the rest of the people were a plate of scattered sand, and there was no need to clean up at all.

The two countries smoothly signed an agreement on an equal footing and reached friendly relations.

At this point, the war was completely over.

Violet continued to return to the postal office to ghostwrite letters, conveying "love" to more people.

During this time, Violet also went to visit Shaozuo's mother.

Like Shao Zuo, Shao Zuo's mother has deep and transparent eyes, and she looks like a gentle person.

Even though she knew that Shao Zuo had died in battle, her mother still sat quietly in front of the fireplace, waiting for the day when the child would come home.

Seeing such a gentle mother, I think of Shaozuo's various ......

At this moment, Violet burst into tears.

After the visit, when she was about to leave the old mansion, she was stopped by Dazuo again.

"Violet! ”

"You're going to take Gilbert's share and live together."

"Always, all the time."

“…… Then die. ”

"This is my last order to you." 】

Dazuo is like a dead tsundere, and until this moment, he still has a very frank and serious appearance.

Hearing this, Violet raised her head and smiled calmly and gently.

"I already don't need an order."

With that, he bowed deeply to Dazuo.

The sun was shining on the path of the courtyard, watching Violet's back slowly leaving, and Dazuo, who was afraid that Violet would not find the meaning of survival, finally understood at this moment.

The former killing machine has long ceased to be a prop, but has become a person who lives up to its name.

[The prop I discarded, Gilbert didn't use as a prop.]

So even though she lost her arms, she lost her master.

Something important to get from him.

Absolutely, it won't be lost......]

Completely relieved of Violet's future, Dazuo was full of emotion in his heart.

Maybe that's growth.

She no longer needs orders, she can write beautiful and affectionate letters with her heart, and she can cry and smile like an ordinary maiden......

At the end of the story, Violet writes a letter to the deceased Gilbert Shaozo on a festival full of letters on the streets.

[Dear Killbert Shaozo,

Are you okay? Don't come unharmed? Where are you now? Are there any worries?

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons flow.

Only the season of Shaozo has not come.

I didn't understand it at first, and I didn't understand Shaozo's mind at all...... However, in the new life that Shao Zuo gave me, I can feel it a little, through ghostwriting, through the people I meet.

I believe that Shao Zuo must be alive somewhere.

So I want to keep living, always, even if I don't know what I'm going to encounter in the future.

If I can see you again, I want to tell you that I now have an understanding of "love......]

The flowers fall into the red dust and the people of Iraq are in tears, and the people of Iraq are in tears and drunk in the city.

Always, all the time.

This is the deep feeling of exhausting the rest of my life and waiting for Shaozuo to come back.

Eventually, at the end of the letter, Violet once again shed tears called longing.

Tears dripped through the air, slowly and softly, and finally swayed onto a fragile violet.

This is the end of the story of the second volume of Violet Evergarden.

Of course, considering the various replies on Weibo clamoring to send blades, in the end, Su Chen also learned KyoAni's routine and came to an open-ended ending that opened readers' minds.

- In the easter egg at the end, Violet is still the same, doing a puppet business of ghostwriting letters.

It's just that at the last moment, the moment she pushed the door open, after she saw the appearance of the person who opened the door clearly, she showed a warm, relieved, innocent and immaculate smile.

No stranger meeting for the first time could make her smile......

The picture is frozen in this scene, eternal smile, eternal fantasy, eternal hope.

This also makes people think about whether the last scene is Shao Zuo or something.

However, whether the person inside the door is Shao Zuo or not, there is no explanation in the work.

On the last page of the book, there is only the girl holding a parasol and facing the sunset, and the inconspicuous, tear-stained violet in the corner.

Beautiful stories have no ending, and it is precisely because it has no ending that it is beautiful.

You just have to keep that in mind.

That's enough.
