"There's no such thing! I...... I just ......"

I don't know when it started, Phyllis has been holding his legs and burying his head deep in his chest, although he tried his best to deny it, but the crying voice and shrugged shoulders have ruthlessly exposed his lies, Clarence, who didn't understand what was going on for a while, thought that Mussell had just said something that shouldn't have been said, he stared at Mussell with anger on his face, waved his fist and asked him what he shouldn't have done.

Don't guess if you don't know what a girl thinks, Mussel replied with his mouth, he sat up and took out a handkerchief from his pocket on the side of his clothes, and gently shoved it into Phyllis's hand: "If you don't mind, cry, although I don't know what happened to you, but it's better to cry." ”

……

As soon as Musel's words fell, Phyllis's tears could no longer be suppressed like tears bursting from the embankment, she pulled over the quilt placed at the head of the bed, buried her head in it and cried as much as she could, but even so, her crying was unusually quiet, even when she sat beside her, Musel could hardly hear any crying, only her shoulders shrugging and her hands clenched into fists expressing sadness that seemed to be indescribable.

To pour a glass of water, Mussel still just lip-strodled Clarence's back, he gently stroked Phyllis's back, but he didn't want to hug her into his arms like other girls, 'one' read 'novel' ybdu, is this some kind of special means? Clarence couldn't figure it out, and the only thing he could do was get up and pour a glass of water.

After crying quietly for a while, Phyllis's mood seemed to improve, she sat up slowly and weakly, she seemed a little embarrassed to cry in front of unfamiliar people for so long, and after wiping her face with the handkerchief that Mussel handed him, she turned her head to the other side, and returned the handkerchief to him like a tsundere.

"You don't have to see it like this, but you should replenish some water after crying for so long, give." Mussel took the handkerchief and handed him the glass, which Phyllis did not refuse, and drank it all in one gulp.

“…… Thank you. ”

Perhaps because of Mussel's gentle attitude, Phyllis seemed to be in a better mood, she put the water glass on the cabinet next to her and took a long deep breath at the same time, looked up at the two of them and whispered, "Your relationship really looks good." ”

"Is there one? Well, maybe it's because this guy is always very immature, so he often needs my nudge, and it's really not a choice. Mussel took the opportunity to praise himself fiercely, and although Clarence wanted to beat him up, he held back.

"Huh...... It's nice to have a friend like that......"

Such a seemingly unintentional sentence immediately caught the attention of Musel, and after thinking about it carefully, he decided to ask carefully, "You...... Did you encounter something that made you cry so sadly just now? ”

"Hmm...... Sort of......" Phyllis nodded, the wry smile on her face made people feel distressed, "Before I became a spy in Demacia, I had many friends, but after becoming a spy, I knew that I could no longer live the life of an ordinary girl, of course, I didn't have any opinions on this job, I felt honored to be able to serve my country, but ......"

"But do you regret it?" Seeing that she didn't continue, Clarence took the initiative to add.

"No...... At least I was able to make some new friends at work, but when I officially joined Phantom, my life changed completely...... Because of the special nature of these two jobs, I can't trust anyone, not even my own commander, I have to be vigilant, the commander who trained me once said that the assassins of Noxus could exist anywhere, and I must always keep my own judgment, but ...... I don't know if you understand how terrible it is to not be able to trust anyone around you, even those closest to you......"

Hearing this, neither of the two people sitting next to him spoke, Mussel just gently touched her hair without saying a word, while Clarence sat on the side with his head bowed, if you follow his gaze, you will find that he is looking at the sharp blade that he is hiding under the bed, what is he looking at this? No one knows except him.

In this almost unending war, the fate of too many people has changed as a result, and no one can judge whether this change is good or bad, but in any case, is it too heavy to carry such a heavy fate on the shoulders of a girl who is less than twenty years old?

"Hmm...... We may not understand what you're talking about, but ...... If what you say is true, then why would you believe us? ”

"Why?" In the face of Musel's question, Phyllis only smiled faintly, "I used to believe in my superior, but she told me not to trust anyone, I used to believe in my country, but he abandoned me, hehe...... Is there a difference between trust and distrust? Even if you deceive me, can this be worse than what I just said? ”

There was silence, neither of them knew how to answer, only silence.

"Sorry...... I'm sorry for you guys with me, I promise, I just wanted to talk to you, but see you guys...... Nothing to forget, thank you for your willingness to listen to my complaints, I'm going to rest, we have a new job tomorrow, good night. ”

Perhaps because the silence was so uncomfortable, after an unknown amount of time, Phyllis finally got up and prepared to go back to her room, and before going back, she looked at the silent two, and hugged them gently with some hesitation, as if tentatively.

The silence continued, and after some unknown time, it was Mussel who spoke first: "What do you think? ”

"I ...... I don't know...... We are only Assassins, but since we have chosen this path, suspicion and betrayal will certainly be no stranger to us, and the only way to escape this fate is to end this war with our own efforts...... That's right, end this war......"

"Is it ...... to end this war? Scold...... Even if we end this war in this way through our hands, then not only will she not be able to forgive herself, but even we ourselves may not be forgiven by them......" Looking at Clarence's seemingly excited expression, Mussel smiled bitterly.
