Joshua ...... I just don't want to recall the blow my sister received when she died. So subconsciously force yourself to identify it as someone else's business. Ignoring the stiffness and shock on the boy's face, Steele just continued, "It's the same thing that saved me just now. You must have gone to great lengths to infiltrate that mothership, right? But you didn't hesitate to show up to save me...... That's because you want me to be out of danger sooner rather than later. ”

"I ...... No, I ...... Ever since I was adjusted by my professor, I have never felt fear. Your inference, completely off the mark. ”

"It's definitely not because of the professor's hands, and it's not because Joshua's heart is broken. Just because of fear...... So I'm just deceiving myself. Now I can be sure of this. ”

"How could it be...... But......" Joshua was about to refute, but after a moment's pause, he finally realized that he could not continue with what he had said. He bit his lower lip and quickly turned around, no longer pretending to be strong, but the corners of his eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked, "...... Why do you ...... It's ...... even such a thing."

"I said it a long time ago...... I am the one who knows Joshua best. Not to mention that I already know everything now...... Everything about Joshua is no longer a hidden secret...... Even if it's the professor and Levy, I won't lose to them. ”

Joshua was stunned. He had a vague sense of what the girl was going to do next. A voice inside him howled desperately that you couldn't do this, that you had made up your mind to reject her, while another voice was encouraging him to open up to the girl in front of him—

"Timid and courageous Joshua." Estelle's lips were slightly open, her cheeks were crimson, and she walked forward gently.

"Joshua the lying and the truthful." His voice began to tremble, but his movements were extremely decisive and calm—

"I ...... Favorite Joshua, you're finally ...... It's back to me. Estelle gently put her arms around Joshua, feeling the convulsive panicked tremor coming through the light clothing, and closed her eyes.

Joshua, who felt the heat in the corners of his eyes, hurriedly tried to wipe away his tears. He had already thought that the girl would laugh at his weeping embarrassment, and he would say that it was the sea breeze that blew the sand into his eyes—but not a word of the words that came out was an excuse prepared in advance......

"Why...... Even after the death of my sister...... Even if it's acting for the sake of a task, I ...... There is no way to shed tears...... "The boy choked up, this familiar and strange feeling - when he was a child who should have cried out loud after encountering a grievance, he was deprived of his innate power as a human being by a merciless fate. He stretched out his hand, trembling, staring at the crystal tears dripping from his palm.

"Huh...... Is it...... I didn't see it. Just let it flow as much as you want...... I just need to be able to hold you so tightly...... That's it......"

The waves were still there, and the people in the distance could not hear the young man's low whimper.

"It's so touching. I'm almost moved to tears, what about you? Heliga stood not far away and looked at the touching side in front of him, smiling with satisfaction and saying teasing words—not to himself, of course, but to the three people who had their own thoughts and complicated expressions in the airship that landed behind him—the Capua family.

"Oops, I'm exhausted." Duolun waved his arms and moved in a wide area, "The airship of the association is difficult enough. ”

"yes, everyone's worked hard." Jill smiled tiredly, and as an observer, he had to put a lot of effort into seeing the movements of his high-performance opponent.

"Hmph...... Hum! Brainless woman or something......" Joost blushed, looking at the scene in front of him, his expression annoyed, but he didn't do anything superfluous. Joshua would hate himself if he rushed out at this time, Jost thought.

"Huh? Tomboy! ”

"What! You also escaped? Although they didn't deliberately bother, the movement of the airship landing was still quite big, although the two were immersed in the joy of reunion, they were not completely blind to all the movements around them, so Estelle still noticed this, and Jost, who saw this scene, was no longer reserved, and simply mocked, "Really, isn't it good to be caught like that." ”

"What did you say!" Sure enough, Estelle blew up, and the two looked at each other as if a spark had flashed.

"Alright, let's take a truce for the time being." "Alright, Jost, stop bullying her." Jill and Joshua spoke out at the same time to dissuade him.

"That's right...... Well, thank you just now, without your help, we might not have been able to leave safely. Glaring fiercely at Jost, Estelle bowed lightly with a polite look at Doron and Jill.

"As the last battle of the air thieves, the opponent is a criminal organization with the most heinous crimes, and the result is a big victory, you must be very satisfied now, right?" Heiliga said with a smile that although none of the three were injured, it was impossible to ignore the passion that could not be concealed under the exhaustion and exhaustion.

"yes...... We don't think we've seen you before......" Jill finally noticed a stranger at the scene, "Ah, is that a big ball of fire......"

After a brief self-introduction, although not everyone knew each other, but soon, as soon as you said a word, several people present became familiar with each other, and they chatted with each other very happily. Later, fearing that they would be caught by the Royal Army, Capua's family left first on the Lynx.

"What are you going to do next?" Heliga poked Joshua, who was still immersed in happiness, "You could have blown up that battleship, right?" Unfortunately, due to Estelle's appearance, not only did your carefully prepared plan not succeed, but you never had a chance to dive in. ”

"yes...... Estelle is such a naughty ghost. But thanks to her, I have overcome the biggest difficulty in my life so far......" Joshua's eyes were full of infinite tenderness as he looked at Estil, "and then I can only do as she said, and act with you, right?" ”

"It's nature. I'd like to exchange your existing information with the Kingdom Army, and I'm sure I'll soon be forgiven for such a petty crime as operating with air thieves. But...... "Hellgar," said Helriga in a deep voice, "there is one thing I still mind...... Originally, I thought that association was just a criminal organization with a lot of tricks...... It's hard to guard against because there are so many of them and they are secretive. But I can't pass it off as if I didn't see it...... The Red Ark...... I'm afraid that even the existence of empires and republics will have to take the strength of the whole country to be able to resist them...... Let's not talk about Liber. ”

"yes...... I told you at the beginning that fighting association is an irrational choice. Joshua gave him a blank look, then smiled again, "But the two of us seem to be irrational together." ”

"Of course...... If you don't resist because your opponent is strong, this kind of behavior is really too cowardly. Heiliga nodded, "But it might be easier to know their next move...... Although our final plan is already guessed...... Not. ”

"Estelle Bright, please reply when you hear it, please reply when you hear it." While the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from the airship to which the three of them had stolen the association, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ahh............h
