readx; "Whew, whew" came the sound of the air being cut open from the empty training ground, "Ah! ~~~" Tazmi and Brand were training there shirtless, and every time they swung the sword in their hands, a piece of sweat would be spilled, and they were shouting boredly on the side, announcing this boring summer day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ciel was quietly reading a book in the shade of a nearby tree, Ma Yin was playing a crossword puzzle, Lubbock was trying to figure out how to get Su in trouble, and Red Hitomi was staring at the meat in the pot in a daze. Since Tazmi couldn't fit the giant scythe-shaped artifact, Najeta took it back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters, where she heard that there would be a reinforcement and was preparing lunch for the arrival of her new companions.

In order to save himself a little bit of worry, he hasn't told them the news that a new companion has joined, otherwise it is estimated that the entire base will be a mess, and then they will be lazy and evade training on the grounds of welcoming new companions, although they have been training hard in recent days, but it is better to maintain a normal heart.

I haven't received any tasks recently, and I don't know why some of the big nobles who were originally rampant in the empire have become much quieter, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of commissions received, but everyone is also asking for a leisure, and they don't have to live in the task all day.

Looking at the quiet scene outside the window, the corners of my mouth unconsciously curled slightly, maybe I have completely adapted to this place. Gently knocking on the triangle iron hanging in the doorway, the crisp sound of metal collision echoed in my ears, leaning on the edge of the door frame and quietly watching them slowly walk towards this side, playing and playing.

I thought I could have a full meal, but I found that there were only monotonous tableware on the table, and the tendons on the corners of their foreheads reflected their mood of being about to go berserk after being tricked, and they touched their noses and caught all the dishes and bowls that flew over, "Break one, but it will be deducted from your salary~" Ignoring their disdainful eyes, they put all the tableware they received back into the cupboard, "Okay, okay, bear with it." Yesterday Najeta wrote to say that she would be back today...... "Liar, why does it take three or four days to come back from the headquarters of the revolutionary army, right?" Najeta has only been gone for five days, so it stands to reason that she is still on her way, right? Could it be that she flies? Lubbock, who had been to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, ruthlessly exposed the long-cherished lie, and his eyes radiated a smug smile without hesitation.

Su hugged his hands in front of his chest with a relaxed expression, "Rabe, it's a bad habit to interrupt others~"

"Anyway, can't you get rid of this 'yo, yo' suffix every time you speak? Interesting, huh? Lubbo grumbled as he hooked his feet under the table and leaned against his chair.

"Well, it's interesting, isn't it?" Su quipped boredly, and suddenly felt that the sun was much darker, as if something was obscuring the sky, "Let's go, go out to meet the boss...... And, of course, our new companions. ”

"Wow!!" Tazmi was simply stunned by the scene in front of her, a huge floating fish-type dangerous species flew high in the air, Najeta stood on top of the floating fish's head wearing a cloak, and behind her stood two people whose bodies were hidden under the cloak, about twenty or thirty meters from the ground, "Huh, Huh" The dangerous species opened its big mouth, fanned its limbs and slowly fell.

"It's amazing, such a big dangerous species has been tamed." Tazmi said in disbelief, the dust on the ground was scattered, and a gust of wind could be clearly felt blowing, and "Hmm......" A high-pitched howl of danger fell smoothly to the ground. I don't know why my face is gloomy, and Najeta said that there is only one person who is good for the supplement, but now it's good, and I don't know if it's enough for lunch.

Leonay and Maine went up to say hello, and by the way, they observed the new companions, one tall and the other slender, if there was no accident, this time the reinforcement should be a man and a woman.

"It's a little slow......" didn't go up to greet Najeta, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, it seemed that she was still angry at the inaccuracy of Najeta's news, Najeta didn't seem to notice, her eyes wandered as if she deliberately didn't look at it, "Everyone go back to the base first." Wait, I have something to say."

Looking at the back in the distance, Su stomped his feet because he was ignored, pulled the red pupil who was still there with his finger and pointed at the dangerous species, his eyes were focused, "Let's go, you can't eat it." Hearing this, Red Hitomi turned her head and glanced at her with resentment......

"First of all, that's what we've added this time, Chelsea and Susanoo. Chelsea specializes in assassination, the Imperial Tool can be transformed into anything you want to become - Gaia Foundation, Susanoo is my Imperial Tool, combat and household chores are readily available, and I stumbled upon it when I returned to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters to hand over the Imperial Tool. Najeta gave a general introduction to the newcomers.

Chelsea is a girl with romantic long maroon hair, always holding a lollipop in her mouth, and wearing a headphone on her head, and a butterfly knots that are slightly heavier than her hair color are tied to the left part of the headphones; Susanoo wears a wide kimono with a huge magatama-like pattern on his chest, black hair, and a pair of horns growing on his forehead.

Soon everyone started to connect and introduce themselves, and Chelsea and Susanoo were also very friendly and the atmosphere was not bad.

"But then, it's the bad news I brought back from the revolutionary army."

Najeta's tone of voice was weak, and her face was a little pale, and her eyes had lost their sharpness. What's going on? This question hung over everyone's minds like a dark cloud. No one broke the strange atmosphere.

The two newly arrived members also had a solemn face, and they didn't know what was going on, why did they have to be so lonely when they joined a new companion, so they had to liven up the atmosphere first, "That, everyone is already tired and hungry, right?" Do you want us to eat first? As he spoke, he was about to go to the kitchen to get the dishes, but he had just walked not far away, "Su, you sit down first, I have something to say." ”

I had no choice but to sit back in my seat quietly, looking at Najeta suspiciously, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart......

"Numa Sekka did not die, but was captured by the Empire, and now, the Empire is holding him hostage and making demands on the alien peoples of the north." Speaking of which, Najeta paused, glancing at Red Hitomi and Su.

"But what does that have to do with us?" Tazmi asked, and the others were puzzled. Najeta stood up and pressed her hands firmly on the table, "The Empire demanded the redemption of Numa Sekka in exchange for either Suzu or Red Pupil, and the alien peoples of the north put pressure on the Revolutionary Army, and forced the Revolutionary Army to surrender one of them under the threat of war against the Revolutionary Army. ”

"How can this be!" Tazmi stood up abruptly, waving his right hand in the air, "Let's hand over our companions...... Akatomi also looked very nervous, watching Suzu's reaction.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by the revolutionary army?" Su frowned and said seriously.

Najeta bowed her head, "I'm sorry! The revolutionary army demands that we hand over our dreams to the Reich by the day after tomorrow at the latest......"

After a long silence, when I heard this, the first thing I reacted was a relieved smile, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not Red Hitomi and other people, everything is fine.

Others couldn't believe that the revolutionary army would make such a decision, and they were emotional, "But aren't we the assassination unit of the revolutionary army?" "Why is this happening? Why did the revolutionary army ......?" asked Red Hitomi, who burst into tears, grabbed Najeta's shoulders and asked.

Seeing the angry expressions of her partners, and hearing the words of her partners scolding the revolutionary army, a tear slid down Najeta's cheek, she didn't want to do this either, if she could, she would rather go to the empire instead of Suzu, but ......

"Enough!" Shu slapped the table, silent, he lowered his head, and couldn't see the expression on his face, "Since it is an order of the revolutionary army, it is good to carry it out." ”

When the red pupil heard Su's words, she turned to face Suzu from Najeta's side, and shouted with tears in her eyes, "But they want you to go to the empire, and they want you to die!" ”

"But it's an order, isn't it?" Su suddenly raised his head and shouted viciously at the red pupil, this tone had never been used before, and there was a hysterical feeling.

"What if it's an order? Just ......" said with a choked red pupil,

"Just how? Abandon your loyalty to the revolutionary army? Abandoning the ideal of subverting the empire? Do you want innocent people to continue to live in the heat of the water? Let the blood of the sacrificed companions be shed in vain? Tell me, just how! Unconsciously wet the corners of his eyes with tears, he roared angrily,

"But......" Red Hitomi looked at the furious Su in front of him, and said a little timidly, although there was nothing to pick up, I didn't know what to say, Red Hitomi grabbed the placket of Su's clothes, and buried her head there silently weeping.

The others fell into deep thought, and what they said was indeed very right, in order to overthrow the empire, it was impossible to rely only on night attacks or relying only on the revolutionary army, but for this purpose, they had to lose their companions who got along day and night, and they were a little unwilling in the bottom of their hearts.

Feeling a breeze blowing in his ears, he suddenly lost consciousness for a moment, hugged the red pupils that were falling from his body, and his eyes were full of reluctance, "Sleep, everything will change." "I'm just a passerby in your life, only that person is the person you really should love, since God has let him come back, he will definitely make him sober up, let him stand on your side, you should be together the most, and I, who have a lot of blood debts, may have to atone for my sins...... Even if he is sure to die, he must remind him of the past, and if he stands here, everyone should be safe.

"Take her back to her room." Su walked up to Leonai with the red pupils in his arms, looking at the red pupils with tears still in the corners of his eyes, and for a while Leonay didn't know whether to stretch out his hands or not.

"Pedaling" looked at Leonai who was slowly walking up the stairs, looked at the red pupil lying in her arms, forced himself to withdraw his gaze, and said in a tone that he thought was the most ordinary, "Everyone, the red pupil is here for you, you must take care of her, at least in the time of walking out of this shadow, don't let her leave the base." All my work will be taken over by Mr. Su. There was a weak smile on his face, and with that, he walked tremblingly towards the kitchen.

"Bang" Before everyone could turn around, Tazmi, who had been standing, suddenly blocked in front of him and punched him in the abdomen, "It's ridiculous, boring sacrificing yourself?" Don't want to run away like this! Do you think it's all settled? Let your companions live in the shadow of abandoning your companions, but you are alone, don't be kidding, what you are doing now is the greatest cruelty to your companions! ”

"Self-sacrifice is the greatest cruelty to one's fellow man...... Self-sacrifice is the greatest cruelty to one's fellow man," Tazmi's words echoed in his mind, but, "So what? Su's tone of voice became very cold, and with a feeling of rejection from being thousands of miles away, he pushed Tazmi away.

"Where there is light, there is darkness, and the closer you are to the light, the greater the darkness, and in order to achieve the purpose of light, the means of darkness must be used, and someone must die in darkness. Isn't that what everyone is? When I joined the Night Raid, I was ready to die, ready to die for you. And, if it's for your common desire, what if it's to die in the dark? Aren't you ready to die in the dark for the sake of the people? Have you really considered my feelings for the sake of others? Do you really understand my wishes? Su said coldly,

"You're wrong, there are ...... in the revolutionary army," Najeta said.

"I'm not wrong! Because there is no right and wrong rule in this world! ”

The atmosphere at the scene was very stiff, and he didn't say anything, and turned around silently, in order to protect your wishes, I would rather be so, if our ideas are not unified, I will have to fulfill the guard in my own way.

"Anyway, I'll use my own methods to solve this problem." Tazmi said firmly, slamming his right hand into his heart, "Swear with my life." ”
