Sometimes cloudy and sunny; Sometimes lightning and thunder; Sometimes it splashes blood, it looks like a hallucination and an unrealistic dream from a distance, but it really stimulates all the senses in the body.

It's even unreal enough to confuse it with truth, which can't help but make Wayne question his own judgment.

However, this is undoubtedly the scene reflected in her eyes at this moment!

Immediately afterward, the ship's engine completed the energy filling in the sea of corpses and blood everywhere, and spewed out azure flames one after another!

After that, he slowly rode the updraft to raise the height, and the aftermath and impact of the whole process seemed to be like a stormy wave, crushing the ground around him in the blink of an eye!

"Olivia, what are you doing!? Hurry up! ”

However, at this moment, Natalie turned a deaf ear to Vane's anxious cries, and only waved the sword-like single-edged knife in her hand desperately.

And, a huge roar intensified directly above her! It seems that it is injecting a natural passion into this fight......

"Do you hear that? Leave those guys alone, if we continue to entangle with them, we will lose! There's no doubt about it, you understand?! ”

And in fact, how could Natalie not understand such an obvious and simple truth? At best, she's just "can't let go of it" and something like that.

In an instant, surrounded by heavy surrounding, she once again twisted her body to an incredible angle-

Then she swung a slash like an arc with the long knife in her hand, and in an instant, under the blow she tried her best, Monella, who looked like a combination of squid and plants, was swept away in an instant!

Throughout the process, she slashed in a straight line until she finally approached Hatfield, the cave where the silver-haired boy was.

"Are you stupid? Idiot! Why not run? Didn't I tell you before I left that you can leave at any time?! ”

Suddenly, when Natalie, who was covered in blood, saw him trembling with overwhelming fear and fear again, she blurted out a natural scolding.

"But even if you let me escape, where can I go now?"

Immediately afterward, the boy's rhetorical question left Natalie speechless. Now, however, there's no time to think about this guy's trauma.

And even with a lot of time, she didn't have the confidence to get him back on her feet. "Let's go!"

Natalie, who had been silent all along, ignored Hatfield's resistance and reluctance, half-dragging and half-hugging. Dragged him out of the cave.

However, at this moment, in the face of the oncoming them, it was difficult for Natalie to even swing her sword! Then, at the moment when she thought that everything was over, the ground, which was still sleeping quietly a moment ago, suddenly came with a jaw-dropping roar!

Immediately afterward, Natalie saw a lightning light and passed by her......

"What? ......?! ”

However, just as Natalie tried to get her momentarily stalled thoughts back into action, the enemy behind her had been swept away in an instant!

In its place was a raging fire that seemed to have swallowed up half of the sky mercilessly!

"Really, don't let me do so much extra things......"

Vane sighed with apprehension; While slowly retracting the fan-shaped weapon that extended from the bottom of the ship. Immediately after that, he lowered the rope ladder that seemed to be made of crystals, and greeted the two of them with a sigh of relief—

"Come up, I have something to say to you."

"I'm sorry, Vane ......"

After entering the ship's cabin, Vane volunteered to give up the bathroom to the two of them. "Let's go take a shower and change our clothes, shall we? Otherwise, there is no way to speak properly. ”

Strangely, however, the cubicle she called the bathroom didn't have the usual things like bathtubs and shower heads? It's weird, isn't it-

Rather, after Natalie entered, it slowly drifted and gradually gathered, countless mist like dew......

They crowded around her one after the other, as if they were hugging her, and when they filled the entire compartment—

It was unbelievable to find that the wounds that made people feel frightened before were healing at the same jaw-dropping speed......

"That's amazing!"

The fact that the wound began to show signs of healing to complete healing in the blink of an eye is incredible, but it is a fact of no doubt.

"Wow wow, good ...... It's amazing!? ”

Then, in the cubicle that was only separated by a wall, Hatfield's exclamations were heard as a matter of course.

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

Immediately after, Natalie, who came out wrapped in a bath towel, wiped her hair; While apologizing again.

"It's nothing, it's just a piece of cake, and the most important thing is that we're all safe, aren't we?"

Compared to Natalie's self-blame, Vane's indifference couldn't help but surprise her again. ——

"Even if the process is full of twists and turns, as long as you get the best results, that's good. ”

Perhaps, she thinks so, right? "By the way, you just said something to me, what is it?"

However, Natalie's negative emotions only lasted for a moment, and after a while, the topic of the two was on the right track-

"I think, as you know, that the current state of the earth is no longer suitable for the survival and reproduction of any living being. So, it's a request—"

"Would you like to go back with us?"

In fact, the meaning of Vane's words could not be more obvious, and this is also what Natalie can't do; At the same time, there is nothing to refuse with a bargaining chip.

"That is, do you mean to let me move to your current planet?"

"That's right, how? I think that's a good proposition. At the same time, I don't think you have a reason to refuse, right? ”

- For a moment, Natalie was a little surprised, and didn't know how to answer. Because unconsciously, Vane completely took the initiative.

"There's no need to hesitate, right? Or are you worried that I'm going to drop you halfway through or something? ”

In fact, she wasn't worried that Vane would backtrack, but that the suggestion and proposal came so suddenly that Natalie was a little surprised. It's a natural proposition, but it's not something that can be decided in an instant.

"Okay, I'll take advantage of this time to repair the communication equipment, you can think about it slowly."

With that, Vane left his seat, leaving Hadfield and Natalie staring at their empty cups in a daze.

"Now, why didn't you say yes to her right away? There's no doubt she's telling the truth, right? ”

"I know that, of course I do! But that also means that you have to live a life under the fence from now on, don't you think that's good? ”

Faced with Hatfield's questioning, Natalie voiced her concerns.

"That means being subject to people everywhere, can you stand it?"

- However, she also knew; At the same time, they also understand better than anyone else: now, they have no second choice, and what they should consider at this moment is how to live safe and sound than to send people under the fence.

So if you look at it from this point of view, Vane's proposal is actually not malicious. At the same time, it also gave the two of them room to refuse and choose.

In other words, this is not a command, but just an invitation.

"Having said that, we are equivalent to lonely ghosts now, and we have no choice, right?"

Immediately afterward, Hatfield did not hesitate to state that fact.

"But we have no choice now, whether it is to send someone under the fence; No matter how limited I am, I want to live even at such a cost! What about you? ”

- This, of course, the two are in agreement: "Live at all costs, and for this, you can give everything you can!" ”

Only after this premise is truly guaranteed can other benefits and corresponding requirements be desired.

"Of course, of course I want to live!"

"In that case, there's nothing to hesitate about, right?"

Hatfield finally smiled as relieved that he had been able to convince Natalie. "And, she's not malicious, is she? You can't be unaware of this, right? ”

In the end, under his persistent persuasion, Natalie finally nodded.

However, even though the three Vanes were temporarily safe, Lemuel did not get the news. So, worried about his sister's safety, he rushed out of the command room at an unbelievable speed and ran towards No. 11 Gnaku—

"Vane, please! Hold on...... I'll be right away! ”

As the moment the heavy roller shutter door like a futon slowly opened, all the maintenance personnel present were taken aback: "Ray, His Highness Lemuel?!" How did you come here? However, Lemuel, who was so anxious, didn't bother to greet everyone.

"Red tape is gone, can the Leviathan be activated now?"

Unexpectedly, the moment the words fell, everyone was even more surprised and looked at each other......

"Your Highness, the first Leviathan was almost half-destroyed in the war of annihilation 10 years ago, and we have been doing our best to repair it all these years, but it is impossible to start the Leviathan without the princess as the pilot!"

"Impossible? That is, the Leviathan is not malfunctioning now? Is there just a lack of the right driver? ”

As soon as Lemuel finished speaking, everyone fell into a silence that seemed to be shrouded in sadness. "Your Highness, it would not have been possible to activate it without Retilia!" At this time, someone couldn't help blurting out that fact.

In this instant, Lemuel's mood was finally calmed down, and he was once again forced to fall into a mixture of flavors like a river and a sea. More because, what told this fact was that he was his friend; and Riveria, who is a close personal friend.

"I know! But now that Vane may be in danger, do you want me to do nothing? Riveria?! ”

Lemuel was so excited that he couldn't calm down in the slightest, and he shook off Riveria's hand on his shoulder as a matter of course.

"I don't care what method you use, even if it's Hu Lai, try to activate the Leviathan for me! Now, right away!! ”

As soon as the words fell, he lowered his head incredulously and as a matter of course-

"Please, please. I've lost Retilia and can't ...... I can't afford to lose my only sister anymore. ”

"So, although this is a bit difficult, please help!"

This scene made Riveria's face full of surprise, his impression of Lemuel, rarely bowed his head and begged for help, even if he really did, he would not hesitate to hold the initiative, like today; And at this moment, it seems that there is no such thing as a low voice.

And if, there can be exceptions; And the only person who can make him let go of his self-esteem and do it as a matter of course is only two people within his own knowledge-

One is as the younger sister Vane Lavria; The other is Lila Retilia, who no longer exists in any corner of this world at this moment. "Raise your head, huh?"

"Since you've said that, if we shirk it again; If you refuse, you will not be qualified for the job. Rest assured, we'll do it in as little as 10 hours! ”

"Thank you......"

I saw Lemuel bow his head deeply again, and what he showed at this moment was a measure that did not match his identity. This made Riveria look so amused that she couldn't help but step forward and give him two elbows-

"Sure enough, Vane and Latilia are really your fatal weakness, no matter what the circumstances, as long as there is something about the two of them, it will make you what you are now."

"What the hell are you trying to say? Is it deliberately hurting my happiness? ”

Lemuel asked with an annoyed glance at her.

"No, no, no, where do I dare, after all, your identity and status are different from the past, if you are unhappy, maybe I will have to lose my job?"

"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?!" However, Riveria ignored his questioning, and only giggled to herself.

At this moment, the ground beneath the two of them was opened. Then, as a matter of course, an abyss-like gap appeared.

The large, vague figure of the Leviathan could be seen slowly rising as time passed.

"Then again, are you serious? I think you're well aware that the First Leviathan is Lea's mech, right? Except for herself, no one has been able to drive smoothly so far. Even if you're the driver. ”

After the initial teasing, teasing, and greetings, Riveria asked in a serious manner.

And in this regard, Lemuel's answer appeared to be unhesitating-

"Even if it's really like what you say, I'm going to have to try. Because, before being a trailblazer, I was the guy's older brother and at the same time the guy's ...... Isn't it? ”

"Really? It seems that you are serious. ”

Face the elevator that is within reach, and the cockpit that slowly opens from the back of the Leviathan's head. Riveria came to the conclusion of course -

"Well, I won't stop you anymore. But, you get the idea, right? As soon as the synchronization rate of the nerve graft falls below 20%, I will immediately cut off the power supply to the energy supply device, okay? ”

But then, without waiting for him to answer, Riveria added as if self-centered—

"No, even if you don't say yes, I'll do that! After all, Retilia has entrusted you to me. In that case, I have to take responsibility! Do you understand? ”

"Well, of course I know that, so please leave it to you."

After saying that, Lemuel, who stepped up the elevator, showed a relieved smile. As the elevator slowly ascends, his figure fades away like a close-up of a movie.

"I'm ready, Riveria...... It's ready to go. ”

Then, jumping into the cockpit, she spoke to Riveria through a particle image projected in mid-air.

"Alright, start recharging!"

She then turned her head and ordered the surrounding maintenance personnel.

Then, as time went on, the energy used to activate the Leviathan naturally reached 100% saturation!

At the same time, the entire cockpit also slowly passed with time, turning red as if it was splashed with blood, rippling and swaying all kinds of light spots and color patches around him, and soon surrounded Lemuel!

"Professor Riveria, energy filling has reached a tipping point!"

"Cut off the energy supply and switch to the nerve grafting program!"

As Riveria gave the order, the work of activating the Leviathan was progressing in an orderly manner-

"Nerve graft confirmed! The fusion rate is 75% and 85%, ...... The fusion rate is 100%, start trying to sync! ”

However, at this moment, through the real-time projection image on the central screen of the hangar, Riveria suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something faintly wrong with Lemuel's expression-

"Sure enough, it's rejection!"

"The synchronization rate is declining, it has dropped to below 45%!"

Listening to the words of the startled and taken for granted, Riveria muttered, "It seems that Leviathan is still unwilling to accept anyone other than Retilia......"

- these words; And this conclusion couldn't help but make her feel devastated.

Especially when Leela is no longer there, this kind of problem is undoubtedly more tricky than before.

"Lemuel, don't worry, stay calm! Now you just have to think about Venn's affairs, and the most important thing is to have no distractions at this moment! ”

"Even if you say that, I still don't know what to do?!" ——

And in fact, the situation is the same as he said. Since Riveria threw away all the theoretical knowledge and did not have any specific instructions and operation methods, this obviously made Lemuel very uncomfortable.

"After all, there is no specific operation method at all, if you have to say it, don't refuse Leviathan from the bottom of your heart!"

"You're so ambiguous, you can't help but think too much of my adaptability with this guy, right?!"

At this moment, Lemuel felt as if he had been mercilessly choked by the neck, and then asked himself the same question over and over again: "Why?" Why is it you who ride on me?! ”

confronting feelings that shouldn't have been; The question that shouldn't exist, and the confusion that shouldn't exist, he had to give an answer as if he was dying-

"I'm really sorry about that; I blame myself for Lela's death, and I wish I could die, but even if I did, I couldn't forgive myself...... But now, please understand that I have to save Vane! ”

"Please, even if you don't admit it; Reluctantly, but even if it's just this time, entrust me with your power, right? ”

Faced with Leviathan's single-minded refusal, Lemuel had to plead again and again, but even this was to no avail.

And this scene was also thoroughly watched by everyone, including Riveria!

"Just a machine, just give me some honest peace! Even if I come hard today, I have to make you obey me! ”

In the blink of an eye, this sudden tough, awe-inspiring attitude suddenly surprised Riveria, and at the same time secretly admired Lemuel's decisiveness.

Then, as she thought, Leviathan was slowly becoming calmer.

At the same time, the index of intense rejection was also reduced to the range allowed by the average.

"Good, good...... That's it! ”

Riveria took advantage of the situation and constantly encouraged Lemuel, who gradually took the initiative.

"The nerve graft confirmed that there was no abnormality, and the synchronization rate was 80%! Professor, we seem to have succeeded! ”

"That 'seems' to be redundant—"

However, compared to the excited maintenance staff, Riveria's expression was not at all relaxed.

"Lemuel, how are you feeling?" Even if she looks at the data and seems to be normal, she doesn't dare to take it lightly.

"It seems to be much more comfortable than before."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that there was something familiar in this square-sized cockpit.

As for what these "things" are, he can't accurately describe them - however, they always seem to be full of memories.

"In that case, Lemuel, I'm going to inject the MR dissolve."

Riveria repeatedly checked Lemuel's physical stats, and after confirming that all of them were average, she informed her next step.

"What's that?"

"To put it simply, it's a thing that allows you to breathe smoothly in space."

However, Lemuel, who understood the theory, still showed a look of disgust in the moment of actual experience.

This is because this blue liquid tastes very sour...... It's like ginger ale with an overly strong flavor.

"Don't show that expression, learn to adapt and get used to it, even if you're a landlubber—"

"Wow, verbose!"

- Although Riveria's words were a bit of a strongman's difficulty, Lemuel obediently did so.

Although, this thing tastes terrible.

As she slowly submerged her whole body, the breathless feeling was like chewing carrion......

"Now, all you have to do is imagine moving forward, and the Leviathan will be responsible for correcting and calibrating the specific behavior based on the real-time data you feed back to the hangar!"

At this point, it went surprisingly smoothly. It can be seen that Lemuel has gradually become accustomed to manipulating the Leviathan.

In the blink of an eye, with the interlacing and roaring echoes of the canine teeth of the earth and the sky, I saw him rushing towards the originally unreachable sky without hesitation!

Finally, Riveria, who was watching him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself......

"Let's hope nothing happens." While Lemuel does seem to be adapting to the Leviathan now, adaptation and driving are two separate things. In other words, he is only just getting used to it now.

As for whether or not you can drive smoothly, this is not within your responsibility.

Perhaps, at this moment, even if I want to, I can't help.
