The strong wind blew a lot of sand into her eyes, and the girl took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes with both hands.

"Where did you come out of nowhere?" The long-stick woman asked, tilting her mouth, lifting the long-stick and pointing at her, with a face like a bedbug.

"Miss Agua, why are you here?" Eske quickly recognized Agua's appearance, after all, there would not be a second girl wearing such a heavy mechanical armor here.

"Ah, it's Captain Esker! I was wondering what kind of stunned young man would fight a woman in such a public place! She lifted her glasses and smiled.

'Boom! Behind him came the sound of long sticks striking steel.

When he turned around, he found that the woman with the long stick was swinging the nail-headed stick at herself.

The long stick emitted a green glow, driving the surrounding air to form a wave of air, but it was easily resisted by the mechanical iron arm behind Ah Gua.

She was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face changed slightly.

The originally arrogant and domineering demeanor changed into a look of surprise and panic in a second.

"Haven't figured out the situation yet? That little stick of yours can't penetrate my steel defenses! Agua pushed his glasses, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. The two huge mechanical arms rotated flexibly, their palms touching the ground, and they held Agua in the air like two spider legs.

"Then I'll go first, the Doctor is still over there waiting for me to carry the supplies!"

The two mechanical arms 'buzzed' around the joints, carrying Agua towards the depths of the market.

Looking at the back from afar, it looked like a roaring steel beast walking in the market, causing passers-by to stop and look at her curiously.

"Cut, remember your looks! Don't think that's all there is to it, I want to make it clear to you how painful it is to offend a silent crocodile! Her expression was so angry that she put away her stick and turned away.

"Textbook trash fish speech..."Capella shrugged and touched the wound on her hand.

……

At night, Sophia sits alone on the rooftop of the hotel, surrounded by a dark and deep blue sky.

She had heard from her elders that the night sky outside the camp was deep black, full of stars, and although it was pitch black, there were still stars twinkling.

What kind of picture is that?

Although it was just a rumor that was circulated in the mouths of the predecessors, it was a good thing to have good expectations for the unknown world that everyone yearns for.

"Yo, the little girl hasn't slept yet?" Behind him came a man's deep voice.

It was Dr. Medóri, who spoke, carrying an iron bucket full of water and soaking two bottles of beer.

"Hello!" Sophia greeted him politely.

"Would you like some?" Medtori took a bottle from the bucket and handed it to her.

"Ahh Thank you... No need. ”

"A little alcohol helps you sleep~" He smiled, and the ring on his ring finger automatically opened a small cover from above, and a slender mechanical arm protruded from it, with a sharp small blade inlaid at the front.

'Click', the cap was easily opened by the blade of the knife, and he tilted his head back and 'gurgling' into his stomach with half a bottle of wine.

"Poof! Sitting on the rooftop, blowing the cool breeze and drinking beer is the most refreshing! He tilted his head and looked at Sophia.

"Are you worried?"

"Hmm—" Sophia nodded, her body curled together, her hands clasped around her legs.

"This is an unknown challenge for any of us, regardless of experience or background, only by helping each other can we accomplish our mission excellently." He smiled, took off his coat and draped it over Sophia.

"Thank you..."

His warm body temperature passed from his coat, and Sophia had never felt such warmth before.

After all, they grew up in an orphanage and didn't know what father's and mother's love were, they just raised these children in the direction of guild warriors, and 'give everything they have for the guild in the future' This is the future fate of all the children who grew up in the orphanage.

"If my daughter were still alive, I'm afraid she would be the same size as you, right?" He looked up at the night sky, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Although he was nearly fifty years old and had not yet reached the stage of old age, the corners of his eyes were already wrinkled, probably because of years of hard work.

Sophia didn't know how to answer his statement, so she could only nod her head slightly and shrink her body.

"This world is amazing, obviously in the same concentration camp, but between different regions there is a unique civilization that belongs to itself, as if five originally unrelated worlds are intertwined with each other~" he sighed.

"Would a well-informed adult like you think this way?" Sophia looked at him with interest, and such a topic aroused some interest in her.

He smiled indifferently: "I just walked a little more than you, not to mention being well-informed." ”

"Over the years, we have been committed to the study of the outside world, about the 'tsunami' battle twenty years ago, which left many unsolved mysteries in this concentration camp, our elder was a witness to that battle, although that event is in the past, he still did not give up looking for a way to break out of this concentration camp..."

Speaking of this, his eyes were full of longing: "Don't you want to go to the outside world to see?" Look at the legendary dark night sky, full of stars shining in the endless depths! ”

"Hmm!" Sophia nodded vigorously, and the man's words lifted her, although it was a topic that had nothing to do with this operation, but it made her pluck up courage, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a lot!

"Wow, Doctor, you're really, sneaking out to drink again!" The sound of a girl complaining came from the staircase at the back.

Wearing spotted pajamas and bear slippers, Agua climbed to the rooftop with sleepy eyes.

"Really! I think about drinking all day long, and I can even forget my birthday! She muttered quietly.

"What do you say? Hiccup~" Doneri said groggily, quietly hiding the bucket next to him under the chaise longue.

"Hello Miss Agua~" Sophia greeted in a low voice.

"Wow!" Agua was startled, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I can't see clearly without glasses!" She scrambled to pull glasses out of her pocket and put them on her face.

"This prop called 'Glasses' is really magical, is there any magic added to it that can improve eyesight?" Sophia leaned close to Agua's face, scrutinizing her delicate round-rimmed glasses.

Facing Sophia who was approaching, Agua was a little embarrassed, she pushed her glasses: "No, this is a physical correction method for lens lenses to use optical principles to improve the wearer's vision, not magic~"

"Hmm... Some... I don't understand," Sophia tilted her head, confused.

In Zone 2, where magic-based energy is used, all production and life work are driven by magic, and even patients with visual impairment can improve their visual perception through the corresponding magic buffs, so as to restore normal vision.

So this kind of physical means to improve vision is completely untouched by Sophia.

"So it's a wonderful world, right?"
