Chapter 13: Sin

If, if you want to be "who", then the corresponding price is necessary.

However, it is not wise to unconsciously put costs and wishes on the scales......

It can even be said without hesitation that it is something that a fool would do as if he were going to do it.

Because in such an equivalent exchange, in the end, in the end, no one will get anything as a matter of course.

even, both hurt themselves; is also inadvertently involved, involving the people around him.

However, when that price is death, there is no need to worry about it.

Because thinking about "how to die" is at best a one-man business.

And there's no one else to talk about here.

There is no suicide note; There are no last words, even if there are ...... However, it is impossible to convey it at this moment.

- "If so, would you feel sad?" In an instant, the bloodied girl lay in the shattered cockpit, trying to ask herself.

"Of course it's sad, isn't that a matter of course?"

Then she came up with the obvious answer, as if it were within reach.

There were enemies all around, like a stormy sea......

Maybe it won't be long before I'll be swept up by them, right?

"It's an opponent that a single body can't defeat, and if it's unfortunate, all you need to do is rack your brains and think about how to escape! Do you understand? ”

This is something learned in previous classes, also known as advice.

Although I don't want to deny its plausibility and then question the facts

- That's because I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but having said that, Yuki doesn't want to run away.

"They must find a way to stop them here, and once I am killed, everyone in this base will be ......! So, hold on a little longer, trainer! ”

Immediately afterwards, although due to the sharing and connection of nerves, Xing was already covered in bruises, but even so, she still decided to die and struggle until the last moment!

- Knowing that you can't win; Knowing that you will lose; Why do you do such a meaningless thing when you know you are going to die? Suddenly, it was as if someone was asking her this question.

"Isn't that obvious? Because I have something to protect no matter what! ”

- Immediately after, she was ready to die for the third time...... It is also the last time to rush to the enemy without hesitation!

Is this a desperate fight? No, of course not.

Of course I want to survive if I can.

However, even she knows that the probability of surviving is really slim, so at least there must be a slightly more decent way to die, right?

In this case, you may be posthumously knighted or something in the future. But that's after death.

Gradually, the vision blurred, mixed with more than a discernible smell. Of course, the smell of blood is there, and it's getting stronger......

The wrist gradually couldn't be raised, and the knife that was swung out became soft as a matter of course......

The field of vision has long been blurred; Consciousness is also crumbling. I don't even have the strength to lift my weapon......

At this time, I suddenly heard someone's voice in a trance: "It's a shame that you have persevered for so long!" It's hard work, leave it to me! ”

Fortunately, she didn't know who it was, and at this moment she only knew one thing, and that was that she seemed to be able to rest for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Gareth, who slowly turned around, revealed the killing intent in his eyes, as if it was pouring rain-

That's enough anger and hatred to make any subject feel creepy!

"It's a substitution! Miscellaneous ......! ”

Drawing his sword in an instant, he rushed into the enemy group as if Mount Tai was overwhelming without hesitation at an incredible speed!

Then, in an instant, it was in the center, and a raging fire was ignited! The rain of bullets shot in the blink of an eye is overwhelming!

In an instant, most of the enemy was scattered! In an instant, they were in a different place!

"Hmph, is it just that? I'm looking forward to you! ”

As soon as the words fell, the weapon in Gareth's hand materialized into a spear as if it was made of blood. Of course, all his movements are perfectly synchronized with the body, and he does it exactly right!

Then, with a jaw-dropping speed, he threw the gun in his hand with all his mightβ€”

The spear that flew straight out pierced a whole row of enemies in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding beasts saw this, and they all became timid and slowly retreated.

However, at this moment, they suddenly made a sound far beyond the range of human hearing!

"What are they doing?" At the moment when Gareth was puzzled by this. There was a sudden and unusual tremor in the ground, which became more frequent as time passed......

Immediately below the display of his body, a number of dense red dots appeared, and the number continued to increase over time!

"Shhhh So the scream was a cry for help?! And it's right below or something, no kidding! ”

In the blink of an eye, he immediately lifted into the air, and almost at the same time, the ground fell apart and collapsed in the blink of an eye!

Out of it emerges a giant head like a sand dune! And there are no eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other commonplace sensory organs......

"Wow, that's disgusting! I'm used to it. ”

In reality, however, the situation was far from as easy as Gareth had suggested, and now he had done his best to dodge the tentacles just by dodging them in mid-air.

And the amount of energy needed to sustain activity is approaching a tipping point! And once it is completely depleted, it is natural that the now lively machine will fall into the dilemma of not being able to move.

In other words, it is necessary to find a breakthrough that can reverse the situation and the current situation with one blow!

At this moment, the onion-like Monella in front of her suddenly opened the leaf-like valves around her head, and then revealed her eyes that looked like insects' compound eyes!

"What?! Does this guy have eyesight? I've never heard of this before?! ”

But now, Gareth understands better than anyone that it is useless to complain, and can only think of a way on the basis of accepting this fact!

Immediately after, he immediately opened the breastplate, intending to blast out those eyes that made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked-

However, at the moment when the breastplate was opened, the other party unexpectedly took the first action!

"What?!"

In an instant, the oncoming tentacles suddenly made Gareth feel troubled......

But it's not an unavoidable attack.

But what he didn't expect was that at the moment when he made an evasive action, he was suddenly hit by a flame bullet that shouldn't have existed in the back!

- "They are like malignant viruses, they will learn and imitate our combat skills and combat methods, and this must not be forgotten!" ”

"Oops!" In an instant, the body, which was originally extremely well balanced and could never lose its balance, crashed directly into the ground without hesitation like a bird that had lost its wings in the blink of an eye!

"It's hard ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up again, dodging the successive tentacle attacks with precise evasion movements; While changing the weapon in the body's hand to a gun!

And shoot down those rushing tentacles one by one! But there are too many......

And not only that, but in addition to that, he has to protect the luck who has lost consciousness and is incapacitated.

To be honest, it's really a bit of a lonely feeling-

"Oh no, if these guys continue to consume it, I will definitely be the first to run out of fuel...... What to do? ”

So, he ran towards the only exit on the originally closed floor!

Of course, as expected, they caught up as a matter of course.

"I said they did, but I don't know what to do with them!"

Racking his brains and unable to think of any way, he could only run and shoot back intermittently!

"It's so annoying!"

However, at the moment when he felt helpless, he suddenly found a quagmire not far ahead!

"There it is! If you can successfully lure them into there, you can't get rid of them once and for all, but at least you can drag them out for a while, right? ”

Once he had made up his mind, he ran straight there!

Then he crossed the seemingly boundless quagmire in one go!

After that, as he thought, most of the enemies weren't smart enough to deduce that it was a trap......

Then I fell into it one after another!

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for himself!

Then, with little effort, he turned around and rushed back to his original facility.

"Hey! Wake up! ”

However, at this moment, no matter how Gareth shouted, she was unconscious......

And if the injuries on her body are not treated immediately, it is very likely that she will die!

"Why would you go out of your way to this? Are you a fool to think about the safety of others at this time?! ”

Immediately after, Gareth couldn't help but scold. However, he also understands that this guy is such a character-

Compared with his own life, he will always unconsciously put others who seem to have nothing to do with him in the first place.

Although she always tries her best to prevaricate the past with a "don't care" attitude afterwards......

But that's just a lie to ourselvesβ€”

"Ga...... Gareth? Shouldn't you have gone back already? Why is it here? ”

"I want to ask you that! The body is made like this; You're covered in bruises, aren't you going to explain that? ”

As a result, Yuki's so-called explanation is just silence, that is, she has no intention of explaining at all.

"Wouldn't you have done the same thing without hesitation?"

In an instant, in the face of her rebuttal, Gareth was speechless.

Because she's telling the truth......

"Are you still in the mood to laugh? Do you know what your current situation is? ”

"Don't worry, you can't die, compared to this, quickly accept me into your body."

You see, right? Again, this attitude of indifference and understatement. Seriously, who the hell is this like?

"Got it. It's really okay to take you......"

At the same time, it is precisely this attitude that is easily misunderstood by others that makes Gareth feel helpless countless times.

- "Hey, don't move! ”

Then, because the cockpit was too small to accommodate two people, Gareth had to hug her tightly and she was covered in injuries-

Had to be in a princess hug position.

β€œ......”

However, at this moment, he was staring at the happiness in his arms!

"Don't stare at me, I can't help it. Besides, is it okay to have a cockpit like that? ”

- Why are you to blame in the end?

"What about the others?"

So in order to alleviate this somewhat inexplicable embarrassment, I quickly changed the topic.

"They're all in the shelter on the twelfth basement floor, so there shouldn't be any danger for the time being. Don't worry about ......."

However, at this moment, Xing feels like he has to do his best every word he says, otherwise he won't be able to express it well.

"I see, so let's leave, shall we? ...... right now"

However, this proposal, as expected, was rejected and opposed.

"Want to take them with you? What nonsense are you talking about? There's no way we're just going to keep them safe, are we?! ”

However, what she revealed in an instant, the unhesitating gaze was clearly telling him-

"Even so, you can't just throw them away!"

"There are countless entrances and exits in the underground vault, and now we can only hope that they will escape on their own."

"If we really take them, maybe none of us will be able to leave......"

In the blink of an eye, the persistence and firmness she showed made Gareth speechless againβ€”

Although he had prepared a lot of reasons to try to convince her, he also knew that even that would be in vain.

So, he gave up from the start......

After all, this guy hasn't changed since before.

- Prioritizing others over oneself......

This is undoubtedly her strength, but it is also undoubtedly a fatal weakness.

Because if you want to save others, you must give priority to ensuring your own survival!

Although this is already obvious, the guy who chose the opposite is here now.

"Well, I'm convinced, anyway-"

In fact, from the very beginning of his arrival, Gareth was rightfully prepared for an awareness similar to risking his life.

"You should have notified the command and asked them to send reinforcements, right?"

"Just be prepared."

In an instant, I was relieved to hear him say this.

"Then no problem, as long as God favors us, we can go back smoothly!"

In fact, it's just trying to imagine as much as possible the reality and reality that are so bad that they can't be imagined in a good direction.

And he never believed in the so-called "gods".

In a word, it is the atheist that people often talk about.

"Hey, where did you get that confidence? That's enough. ”

After these words, even Gareth himself was left with a wry smile. β€”β€”

Obviously he has been fighting with all his might since a long, long time ago; I've been fighting like I'm risking my life, but in the end, I don't seem to be holding on to what I want to protect.

Instead, it's been lost. Ironically, while we have lost many, many things, the number of enemies continues unabated. In the end, until that day, that person was lost-

Time, 2055 A.D.

Today, unexpectedly, it was a day of heavy rain that began in the morning.

Looking at the sick weather and the dense raindrops, the originally depressed mood undoubtedly became worse......

However, no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to do what you have to do; The place to go still has to be as good as it was before.

- Today is the day of someone's funeral, but no one knows how she died.

- The facts are obscured.

However, despite not knowing anything about it, most people fall into grief as a matter of course......

"I still remember how they were talking about the wedding preparations before this...... But why is this happening!? ”

At this moment, Riveria, who was standing beside Gareth, was as overshadowed by her words as her expression.

- Is that sadness? Maybe yes, maybe not. Other than that, however, she doesn't show superfluous feelings.

- I guess it's more of remorse, right?

But now, no matter how much she says sorry, it is impossible for someone who has died to come back from the dead.

Although this kind of thing should have been used to a long time ago, but it was not until the end of the day that I realized that this kind of thing could not be used to at all......

Even now I feel disgusted.

"Maybe that guy is more than ten times more than me now, right?"

"Your Highness? You okay? ”

At this moment, Lemuel was already soaking wet, and his face was mixed with rain or tears......

However, he was surprisingly calm and responded with a smile to Yuki's somewhat timid concern.

"It's okay, Your Highness, you still have us! We'll always be with you! ”

- There's no way to say something like this, as if nothing happened!

At the moment when the words fell, Lemuel said something that surprised everyone......

"I'm only going to bring misfortune to the people around me, so even if you say you're leaving, I'm not going to stop it......"

- It was someone's prophecy, and now that guy's prophecy has come true.

So, Lemuel came to this conclusion as a matter of course.

"What are you talking about, how can we leave? How can you leave it alone at such a time? ”

In front of the rain-soaked tombstone, there is perhaps the only photo of the two of them. At that time, Lila laughed so unscrupulously.

However, this kind of unbridled smile can only be seen when the two of them are alone......

On weekdays, she is a completely different face.

- It is an attitude of ignoring everyone.

The two who were originally forced to get along day and night because of deliberate arrangements seemed to be a little caught off guard by their unknowingly liking each other......

But on the other hand, I think it's a matter of course and naturalness.

"When this mission is over and you come back, we'll get married, right?"

- It was obviously a marriage proposal in full view, but he actually said it so lightly.

The answer was yes, but that promise was never fulfilled......

Therefore, a warrior is not allowed to expect happiness, even if there is nothing wrong with it in itself.

But, if they could, they really wanted to try to grasp the happiness that was once within reach.

However, even such an inconspicuous wish was quickly shattered as a matter of course......

If you think about it, is the heavy rain pouring at this moment your current mood?

It must be, right? Once, he didn't have a so-called "living goal" -

And the one who gave him this goal was undoubtedly Lela.

There was also a moment when he felt as if he had found the meaning of his existence, and he felt a sense of happiness for it.

However, what he didn't expect was that one day he would personally extinguish this hope......

So what does it feel like? To this day, he could not find the exact words to describe it.

"I will never forgive you!"

At this moment, a girl in a wheelchair appeared in the crowd, and she was undoubtedly the sister that Leela had mentioned-

"Yuna? What are you doing here? ”

Fortunately, I was a little surprised to see this. β€”β€”

Because her name was not on the original reservation list.

"What? Can't I come to my sister's funeral? Or do you think it's inappropriate for me to meet with him? ”

Xing was suddenly speechless. Because from your own standpoint, you can't say anything. But it's really ......

"Or are you planning to shield the murderer as well?"

The murderer, this is Lemuel in Yuna's eyes now, and the person who is said to be so is only silent......

Even if this is an unreasonable slander, he does not intend to justify what he has done.

- because there is no right to defend at all.

If you look at the results alone, there is no doubt that this is the case.

Soβ€”

"Now, it doesn't matter if you hate me forever; It's okay never to forgive me, if that will take away the sadness in your heart a little......"

Of course, this is not an excuse; It's not an excuse. But at this moment, he has no false wishes.

- "Perhaps, my sister can understand your feelings and think about you everywhere, but I'm different! Because she's the only existence to me, you know?! ”

"I'm sorry if I could have done better......"

At this moment, he could only say such words that he was too weak to believe...... The raindrops kept washing down his cheeksβ€”

No one knows what kind of expression he has on his face now......

And now, Yuna's every word is undoubtedly like a nail to Lemuel's heart again and again......

In the blink of an eye, the already bleeding wound was once again ruthlessly ravaged to the ground!

But even so, he still chose to accept this fact.

Perhaps it would be better for her to never know the truth.

In this way, at least she can do her best to protect this ...... Things are now in a broken world, and a carefree life continues.

For this, Lemuel was even willing to sacrifice his life without hesitation!
