The night was already deep. Xiu didn't know how much time it was, he only saw that the moon had already set in the other half of the sky.

Now, too, he knew it was impossible for him to fall asleep in the stable.

Ness sat with her legs folded and her face buried in her face. It's just that he moved from the corner at the beginning to the edge of the fire, and Xiu can't tell if he is asleep, but he should not be asleep.

Who can sit and fall asleep?

The reason why Xiu couldn't sleep was not just because he wasn't used to the straw pile, but also because he wanted to make a decision for himself.

This decision may make you look self-righteous, or it may make you look arrogant. If you don't do it well, it will be self-defeating.

But he knew that if he didn't make this decision, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep peacefully.

After tossing and turning, he finally stood up.

"I haven't slept in the stables." Ness spoke suddenly.

"Hmm." Xiu nodded, "I can't sleep." ”

"So where are you going now?"

"Get out for a walk. Although it is logically not allowed at this point, it is better to go out for a walk if you can't sleep here. Xiu smiled, "Maybe I can escape the instructor's inspection?" ”

"I envy you." Ness whispered.

Xiu didn't know how to answer. Comfort is useless, and as long as Dimmert remains, their situation will never change.

Ness didn't look like she was waiting for Xiu's answer, she continued, "Do you want me to come with you?" Evading search is a simple thing for us. ”

"No, no." Xiu hurriedly stopped. As if he felt as if he was not in the right way to stop it, his tone seemed to be disgusted, so he added, "If I am discovered, it will be fine, and if you are discovered, Dimmert should know." ”

Ness thought of something terrible, her body subconsciously contracted and trembled, but she was quickly controlled again.

"Got it." Ness didn't speak again.

Xiu took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked out.

He didn't want to avoid the garrison, on the contrary, he went straight to the most garrisoned place.

Because the place he's going to is an office building, and it's Gerald's office.

Because he's going to find Gerald.

There were no patrols around the dormitory, as no recruits would run out in the middle of the night. Generally speaking, the day's training is enough to make the recruits lament that there is too little time to rest, and they wish they had more time to rest, so how can they waste the rest time and leave the room to do other things.

Perhaps repair is the only exception.

The snow has stopped, or the clouds have been torn apart by the wind, and where does the snow come from?

There is now nothing in the sky except for the stars more clearly than ever, and the full moon brighter than ever.

And maybe the invisible, but incomparably violent wind.

Xiu stood in front of the office building again. When the guards saw the silver-haired boy, they didn't even pay attention to him, didn't even ask, and let him walk by.

After Xiu walked away, the Valkyrie guard didn't realize anything for a long time, turned his head and asked his companions beside him, "Aren't we standing on the evening shift today?" ”

The companion nodded, "yes." ”

"And what is he doing here?"

The companion thought for a moment, and his face became a little embarrassed, "I don't know, but...", she looked at the office building, "He's already in, it's useless to say anything now." ”

Xiu went straight up to the second floor and knocked on the door to Gerald's office.

"Come in," Xiu replied, pushing the door in, "just put things in the room Mia." ”

Xiu was stunned.

Rhodria looked up, and was about to say something, when he saw Xiu with somewhat tired eyes, he paused for a moment.

Mia on the side saw that Rodri's ** was not right, and she also raised her head to take a look, and was also stunned. Minai Hills, who was standing by the bookcase and rummaging through things, looked at the documents and turned around, and was also a little shocked when he saw Xiu.

When Gerald's helpers were quiet, he finally felt that something was wrong.

"I let you... What are you doing here? Gerrard frowned, "At this time, you should rest in your dorm room and prepare for tomorrow's training." Or do you have any unexpected situation that you have to report to me, and you must be asked to come to my office during curfew! Give me a reasonable explanation! ”

"Report to the instructor." Xiu had no expression on the surface, but in his heart he thought a little bit, "I want tomorrow... No, at the beginning of this morning we and... He couldn't remember what organization Victoria and Ness were for a long time, and then he realized that he hadn't asked at all, so he had to say, "Compete with the white Valkyries!" ”

Suddenly, the office fell silent.

Mia and Minahears looked at Xiu with a ghostly expression, while Rodria came to his senses, the tiredness in his eyes dissipated a little, and Gerald couldn't see any expression.

"Give me a reason."

Xiu briefly talked about the matter with Victoria, "They can only be crammed into my room now, and one is afraid to go and can only nest in the stable." If they had gone back earlier, at least they wouldn't have to sleep in the stables. ”

"You thought about what would happen to them if you won." Gerald lowered his head and continued to write.

“... will be punished. Xiu replied after a moment of silence.

"What if you lose." Gerald asked.

"I'll be punished."

"Want to be a hero again?" Gerald was sarcastic.

"Nope." Xiu said, "I just can't see others suffering in front of me. ”

"So you're going to take the pain on your own?" Gerald dropped his pen, "Is that all you can think of?" ”

"No, I'm not going to take the pain..."

"But you're going to lose him, right?" Gerald said.

Xiu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Do you know what happens if you lose this game?" Gerald said lightly, "You shouldn't know. You lose, you think you can save a group of girls who are like flowers, they will thank you, you will remember, you will think you are a good person, but! Gerald slowly stood up, "What about next time?" ”

Xiu was stunned.

"You let them win this time, who will let them win next time?" Gerald looked at Xiu with pity, "I thought you would be more mature, but in the end you were just a fool who thought you were right. You don't even know what kind of people they are! ”

"Murderers." Xiu said in a nonchalant tone.

"Just murderous?" Gerald had a sarcasm in his pitiful eyes, "Maybe it's better to describe it as a bitch." ”

“... Why? "I don't understand.

"I don't think you know where Deemert came from... The team that can use all means to accomplish the mission. Gerald seemed to have thought of something that disgusted him: "He can sell anything." All qualities, including dignity, all people, including companions, everything including the flesh. They use themselves as disposables, and you're doing it for them? ”

"And you have no idea what it means to us if you lose!" Gerald pressed the table and pressed his gaze on Xiu's body little by little, "If you don't know, forget it, I don't plan to explain to you at all." He smiled coldly.

"Did you refuse, sir?" Xiu said.

"No, I promised." Gerald threw the paperwork he had just written on the ground in front of Xiu.

Xiu picked it up and looked at the contents inside, and his body suddenly froze.

"This is the specific content of tomorrow's competition, you can show me clearly." Gerald lazily sat back in his chair and casually pulled out another one from the mountain of documents on the side to prepare for a new round of review: "These are all these people, not real Valkyries. Because they don't fight against Honkaimon. But they are much more dangerous. Because the target they wanted to kill from the beginning was people. The above conditions are already very favorable to you, so if you lose, I will make you look good. ”

Xiu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Go back!"

Xiu knew that this time he was talking too much. Gerrard has his own plans, and he has decided to do it tomorrow.

Xiu couldn't help but wonder if he had said too much this time.

Maybe I shouldn't have come tonight.

The repairer stepped back and left the office with the paper.

He was going to take a closer look when he went back, but when he walked out of the office building and on the way back, he felt that the paper in his hand was suddenly taken away!
