Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: A Lonely Crowd

There are not many people in the cafeteria, and now the training of the recruits has been temporarily stopped, and the current canteen is not as lively as the recruits swarmed in during the training. There are not many people in the canteen now, and it is deserted.

After all, there weren't many people in the entire training camp.

The master of the cafeteria slowly stopped preparing food for two people for Xiu, and he seemed to realize that Xiu couldn't eat so much.

But when the cafeteria master put out the prepared food, Xiu didn't take it as usual.

"Master, can you please do me a favor?" Xiu raised his head and looked at the dark-skinned canteen master.

"Say it. But what can I do to help you, I'm just cooking. The cafeteria master smiled.

"It's just food." Xiu responded with a smile, revealing snow-white teeth, "Just maybe a little more." ”

The cafeteria master was stunned for a moment.

"Xiu, aren't you..."Andrew was dumbfounded, "do we need to do this for them?" ”

Xiu smiled.

In the small dormitory, the Valkyries huddled in the corner around the fire.

The injured girl lay quietly on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. The pale blue hair slides slightly as she breathes softly, and her body rises and falls.

"Sister Ness, I'm so hungry." A Valkyrie, who looked younger, said lightly. She said as if she wasn't talking about herself, cold and numb.

"It's okay, just bear with it." Ness said in the same tone.

"Well, I'm still hungry." The little Valkyrie said.

"I'm hungry too. But we can't eat. Ness replied.

"yes, I know."

They fell silent again.

The burning black wood crackled from time to time, and the water in the kettle was about to boil dry.

The little Valkyrie asked again.

"Sister, are we leaving?"

"Well, when the kettle is dry, we'll go."

"The kettle is going to dry soon, are we really leaving?"

"Well, we'll leave when the kettle is dry."

"It's cold outside."

"We can't stay here."

“... Well, I know. ”

The two fell silent again.

The water in the kettle has bottomed out, and there is almost no trace of water to be seen. White bubbles have covered the bottom of the pot.

"Sister, we're leaving."

"Well, we'll go when the water is dry."

"Where are we going? There was no room for us. ”

"Forget, we sleep in the stables."

"It's going to be cold there."

"Yes."

"There's nothing to eat."

"Yes."

"Sister, I don't want to go out."

"Dimert..."

"I know. I... Just talking. ”

The foam in the kettle is getting less and less and thinner. The bottom of the pot was even burned black and yellow because the water dried up in some places.

The other Valkyries, who didn't speak, stared at the last bit of water in the kettle. The pot "sizzled", and the speed of the water disappeared with a visible velocity.

"Sister... The water is dry. ”

"One more thing..."

"It's not water, it's just bubbles."

"No, it's water, it's not dry yet."

"Sister... We can't take this with us. ”

“... I know. ”

Ness stood up and watched as the last bubbles dissipated at the bottom of the pot.

The door of the dormitory was suddenly opened, and a thick handful of snow was thrown into the pot, "There is still water, don't leave in a hurry." ”

Nessy looked at them, and a boy with silver hair and purple eyes was leaning against the doorrail, looking at them with a faint smile on his face. In his hand, he carried a bulging cloth bag.

Behind him were two of his companions, one of whom struggled to carry a large pot with a wooden lid tightly covered, and the other with a large bag that clanked.

"What do you mean by that?" Ness became a little serious.

"You're hungry, I've got something to eat." Xiu kept smiling, "That's all. ”

Ness's throat swelled up and down.

"We... Can't eat. ”

"Why?" Xiu was stunned for a moment.

"Our sir... We are not allowed to eat. She bowed her head, "If we eat, we will be punished." ”

"He said that?" Xiu felt incredible, "What commander would give such an order?" ”

"He... Didn't say we could eat. He didn't say we couldn't eat it. Otherwise... He'll make us spit out. ”

Xiu's smile was gone.

"Did he say you can't eat?" Xiu asked.

"No... But..."

"Wouldn't that be fine?" Xiu smiled again, "He didn't say you can't eat." ”

Andrew and Carlos brought everything in, Andrew hung the pot on the fire in place of the kettle, and Carlos put the cutlery on the table.

The pot Andrew was carrying was filled with thick wheat porridge with a lot of vegetables and meat in it. Carlos took the bag with spoons and bowls.

Shuya placed the large bag on the table, and when the mouth of the bag was loosened, the soft bread inside was revealed.

Xiu heard a series of swallowing voices behind him.

"The most popular thing in our place is to take advantage of loopholes!" There was a look of mystery in Xiu's eyes, "If there is no explicit prohibition, it is okay!" ”

Ness hesitated.

"I ...... I can't make decisions, I'm not the captain. Ness flinched. She was scared, afraid that she would make a choice she couldn't.

"What the hell are you afraid of? What could be more important than your teammates. ”

At this time, a faint voice sounded on the bed, "It is for the sake of the team members...... I can't eat ......."

"Captain, you're awake." Ness seemed to have finally found a savior, and she ran to the girl on the bed.

"With such a serious injury, can you wake up so quickly?" Xiu scratched his head for some reason, "Why do you say that?" Do you want to watch your buddies go hungry? ”

"I don't want to......" her voice was so soft, so small that it was almost inaudible, "but you don't know our chief...... Don't push them. I'm the captain, and I give orders, and I can't eat it! ”

"Yes." The Valkyries found their backbone at once, and never looked at the food brought by Xiu again.

The porridge in the cauldron was slowly heated, and the smell of wheat and meat gradually permeated the whole hut.

The Valkyries twitched their noses, sniffing the seductive scent.

"Andrew......" Xiu said suddenly.

Andrew looked over.

"Throw the food out."

"Dumped?" Andrew's eyes widened, "Xiu, do you know what the consequences of wasting so much food are!" ”

"I know. But they can't eat it...... We can't eat it. Xiu said, "If they can't eat it, we won't force them." ”

Andrew hesitated, Xiu stood up directly and walked out with the pot.

"Your name is Xiu...... the girl on the bed asked.

Xiu stopped.

"Yes, Hugh Kaslana."

"Thank you...... I'm sorry. ”

Xiu didn't respond and left the dormitory directly.

"Xiu, what about the bread?"

"Hey the horses!" For the first time, Xiu's voice brought emotion.

Andrew glanced at the Valkyries coldly and "cut" disdainfully.

Carlos put away the dishes one by one without saying a word, and left the dormitory without looking at the Valkyries.

The Valkyries huddled silently in the corner, around the stove, watching the water bubble in the furnace.

Emerge, burst.

Pop up again, burst again.
