I don't know if it's an illusion, but the wind in the middle of the night has become a little lighter.

It's very late now, and the teammates in the same room are already asleep one after another, but Cynthia has been quiet with her back against her big sword.

I'm the weakest of the captains.

Although her qualifications as a warrior are still relatively deep, and her ranking No.14 can be regarded as entering the ranks of high-ranking warriors, she has never led a team to crusade against the Awakened, and the most helpless thing is that her ranking is not in the top ten, I'm afraid that in a real battle, it will be difficult for the team she leads to come in handy.

No, even if you have the strength of the top 10, can you really be qualified for the position of captain with this mentality?

Cynthia, who had never been able to sleep, opened her eyes as if she had given up, lowered her head and put her right hand on her chest, and the firm and powerful heartbeat came from the palm of her hand, but she suspected that it was not her own.

With a deep sigh of half-sighing, Cynthia quietly looked around, and everyone in the room slept quietly except for Divi, who had left in the middle of the night.

Divi, Celta, Gula Rodia, and Juliana, even though they are all meeting for the first time, will take responsibility for their lives, just as the captains of the Crusade of the Awoken have done in the past.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt the pressure on her. But since Miriya Senpai has decided to appoint himself as the captain, he doesn't want to live up to this trust......

What's more, she herself hopes to be a good captain.

There was silence all around, and Cynthia carefully got up, turned out of the resting room, and came to the balcony of this floor, where the vast night set off the falling snow particularly softly.

Reaching out, she felt the falling snowflakes melt in her palms.

The five teams were spread across two three-story houses, with Cynthia on the ground floor of the house used to store supplies.

In the gloomy alleyway between the two houses, a hurried back passed through it, and soon disappeared around the corner.

There's no demonic spirit, but ordinary people get up too early at this time, right?

Cynthia looked at the corner where the man had disappeared with a puzzled look, but before she could think about it, a deliberately muffled voice came from overhead.

"Is it Cynthia?"

"Who?"

Turning his head to look up, it was a face with a single ponytail and a friendly smile...... Even if she was lying on the balcony and looking down, she looked much more reliable than she was.

"Belonica. I didn't recognize the wrong person, did I? ”

"Well, it's me."

Although all her hair is tied back in a bunch, Belonica's hair doesn't seem to have much, but it also shows that she is very capable and energetic.

"Can't you sleep too?" Belonica whispered.

In just one sentence, the distance between the two was shortened a lot.

Beronica is also a warrior in the top ten and the captain of a squad, so she probably feels the same way as herself now.

"It's okay, but I feel like I have to worry about a lot of things at once, and I'm a little unused to it."

"Yes, when we became the captain, we found that the burden on our shoulders was so heavy, although it is almost our fate to die in battle, but as the captain, at least we don't want to see anyone in the team die......" Belonica said and looked back, and then said in a more low voice: "Anyway, I can't sleep, let's talk in another place, it's too boring to watch the snow alone." ”

"Okay." Cynthia readily agreed, and Beronica's idea was surprisingly in tune with her in many ways, which made her willing to say a few more words to her.

After all, starting tomorrow, it will be possible to face the Awakened, and when the time comes, their lives and deaths are unpredictable, and the only way to chat is tonight.

……

The captain seems to have a rather serious personality.

Ever since she entered the room, she had sat down with her sword in the middle of the room, without saying a word.

We were probably the most silent group in the atmosphere, Joni sat by the window, and sighed to herself, the four people in the team didn't know each other, and even introduced themselves hastily, so we had to rest tonight.

In fact, she really wanted to say a few more words to Captain Flora, and get to know more about this captain who has a good reputation among the soldiers...... Her sword skills look very powerful, and she doesn't know if she can point out her ripple sword.

It may seem presumptuous to have such thoughts, but the motivation is the anxiety in Jonny's heart.

There are still her relatives in this world, and she doesn't know how lucky she was to meet her brother, and every night after that, she could feel a little more warmth in her heart...... So she wanted to survive this mission no matter what, even if she knew in her heart that this mission was much more dangerous than the usual crusade against the Awakened.

Joni still remembers fondly that her brother had promised her that as long as she protected herself, there would be a time to meet again.

"Captain?" Jonny leaned closer and asked softly.

Flora didn't fall asleep, but she didn't open her eyes either, only her cherry-like small and cute lips responded softly: "Everyone will work hard from tomorrow, let's hurry up and rest tonight, and talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

This sentence is not only an answer to Jonny, but also to Tabasha and Yuma. They were either blinded or half-opened, and they were clearly not asleep.

"But in this case, how can you sleep......" Joni bit her lower lip, unwilling to end the conversation.

Hearing this, Flora sighed silently and opened her eyes to look at her teammates, her eyes finally falling on Joni, and she changed her mind at first.

"Everyone, just say something, take this opportunity, even if it's scared in your heart, maybe it will be helpful to say it."

The gentle voice is pleasant to the ear, but there is a feeling that you can rely on.

"I'd like to ask the captain about your swordsmanship! Also, I actually know a sword skill, but the person who taught me said that no matter how hard I practice, I can't surpass her...... Is that really the case? ”

Joni's eager expression was imprinted into Flora's eyes, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes full of emotion: "Sword skills, you don't look like you're at the level of NO.20." ”

"My sword technique is called the Wind Slashing Sword, which simply means drawing, slashing, and retracting the sword. Although sword skills are skills created by warriors according to their own characteristics, it does not necessarily mean that later learners may not be able to become stronger...... If it's convenient, can you show off your sword skills? ”

Under the curious and envious gazes of Tabasha and Yuma, Jonny drew her sword and stood up, her silver eyes instantly turning into golden pupils! As she appeared, there was also a high-frequency tremor of her right arm starting from the shoulder, and even the outline of the sword body with the big sword became blurred!

A sharp sound suddenly sounded in the air, like the sound of a sword!

"That's enough, stop!" Flora suddenly stopped Joni, "This is Ophelia's sword technique, how can she teach you?" ”

"She should have awakened and died, do you know why she woke up and who killed her?"

A barrage of questions came out of Flora's mouth, and the urgency in her tone was a loss of her composure.

"You and her?" Jonny asked with some sneer.

Flora's face was complicated, and she pursed her lips before saying, "We are the same period." ”
