In order to let Wayne have no worries, he can let go of his hands and feet to face Ozman's overly obvious and straightforward provocation......

At the same time, it is also necessary for the opportunity that she has created so hard to really work......

Eren didn't hesitate at all, and even though he picked up the seriously injured and unconscious Riveria, he left there as quickly as he could.

In an instant, however, he saw smoke that filled his vision—the moment he turned his head.

"Shh

At this moment, even though he wanted to turn back and help several times, but now, the only remaining reason did not allow him to do so.

But in fact, even if he really turns back now, what can he do?

I'm afraid I can't do anything with my current self, right?

However, it was still possible to protect Riveria with this scarred body.

And that's undoubtedly what Wayne wants him to do with all his might.

“......”

Yuna also lowered her head at this time, restraining her emotions as if she didn't say a word. Just controlled the wheelchair and walked forward-

"Why the hell is this happening?"

"Why ......?"

Don't understand......

This is probably what she wants to figure out the most at this moment.

However, now I have to accept this embarrassing situation at this moment, I am really unwilling!

At the same time, on the other side, Ozman is ravaging Brunhild, who is unable to fight anymore -

In fact, he'd wanted to do it for a long time! Because......

That's right, since the moment he was removed from the list of testers for the original tactical machine by Wayne and Lemuel......

He dreamed of this day all the time; This moment has come!

Of course, the reason for this, Vane naturally knows better than anyone else.

It's just that she didn't expect that that incident would cause so much dissatisfaction and resentment to Ozman, so much so that he is still haunted by it-

"Ozman, did you really hate me that much at that time?"

"Yes, I will never forget the shame you gave me!"

With that, he kicked Brunhild in the face again!

“......”

Disgrace? The moment he heard him use such words to describe the incident, Vane couldn't help but show a helpless expression again.

"Your personality is too impulsive, and as a test pilot, you repeatedly demand perfection from the original tactical aircraft......

"I even scolded my companions because of my personal emotions in simulated actual combat-"

"The tactical aircraft used for testing were burned in one go......"

"Do you think you were really a good fit to be a test driver at that time?"

"After all, at that time, you were just a willful little ghost!"

"Abominable abominable abomination——! Do you still want to say that?! ”

Gradually, he became more and more angry......

In fact, Vane's remarks merely point out deep-seated flaws in his character.

That is, these are all compensable, but ......

What made her decide to finally replace Ozman -

The bigger reason is that he doesn't know how to build trust and teamwork with his peers.

In short, he was stubborn all along, believing that he didn't need a companion!

And only believe in yourself......

This is undoubtedly fatal!

That's right, this same deep-seated misfit, as well as an incredible conceit, was what made him fail to pass the final selection.

"Why not?!"

"You've seen that now, right? Even if I was denied to that extent by you, I can fly a tactical plane! ”

“......”

Although Vane felt that he would not be able to listen to any serious arguments he had made now, she had to admit this alone......

Because, now he has really proved that he can also fly tactical aircraft.

"Indeed, I did underestimate your talent back then—"

As soon as Vane finished speaking, his unbridled laughter rang in his ears.

It was as if he was telling her explicitly......

Now, my purpose is no longer as simple as gaining recognition. After all, he is no longer the little ghost of the year!

So this time Ozman has a more ambitious, and at the same time more "terrifying" ideal!

After all, that was the purpose of his sudden operation.

That's right, this time, what he wants is domination, that is, he wants to make everyone submit to his feet!

To do this, it is necessary to find a way to escape from this place; This world!

Of course, this is not just the beginning of the show at this moment, but it has been exposed since this guy was a teenager......

"Really? But don't you think that if you don't have anyone to support you, you're just resorting to violence? ”

"So what?"

"What?"

His indifference suddenly made Vane very unbelievable......

At the same time, of course, Ozman knows what kind of action he is implementing.

This is a matter of course, and at this moment, it is impossible for him to care about such a thing as "specific means".

In his eyes, as long as he can achieve his goal, it would be good!

As for how many people will be sacrificed in the whole process—

"Boring, who cares about that kind of thing?"

For this reason, the first person to be poisoned was the one who had been a thorn in his side since before......

The strongest twelve of the Knights Templar.

"That guy, who set up a feast at home a week ago, called us all to-"

"Of course, we all thought it was just a simple birthday feast, but we didn't expect that guy to actually make a ...... in the food and drinks for us."

"Doing something? Could that guy ......? ”

Alan smiled wryly and nodded.

"In other words, those drinks and dishes are pre-mixed with drugs that can debilitate people, and the dosage is not just a little bit."

- Obviously, this is a feast.

"Did you notice it in the first place?"

He shook his head......

"If I had noticed it in the first place, I wouldn't have let everyone go-"

Just this seemingly frivolous sentence can really appreciate how depressed he is now.

If you can detect it before you do, you might be able to avoid this from happening.

And now it is clear that it is too late to say anything.

"I'm sorry ......"

After listening to his narration, Yuna couldn't hide her surprise and self-blame.

"Wait, Miss Yuna...... It's not your fault! ”

In the blink of an eye, he seemed puzzled by Yuna's reason for apologizing to him......

"I apologize, not because of what you said, but because of the current situation-"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alan understood in the blink of an eye the reason why she had such an expression.

"If it weren't for the fact that I'm like this now, and I can only move in a wheelchair, you probably wouldn't be covered in bruises like you are now."

She probably wanted to say that, right?

In other words, Yuna at this moment thinks that her current self is just a "burden" that will get in the way of others.

But what she didn't know was that for Allen, he had never thought of it that way. ——

"No, you're not a burden!"

"What, you don't know me at all, do you?"

“......”

He had to admit this, but it didn't contradict his desire to save her, right?

"Indeed, I may not know you. But that doesn't mean it's a reason for me to give up on you, does it? ”

If you use such a perfunctory reason to give up the immediate ......

The person who can obviously be saved, maybe even Alan himself can't forgive himself.

"I just, I don't want to see anyone in front of me anymore, for any reason...... It's just a simple death. ”

That's right, in a way it's just self-gratification.

But what he said to Yuna was by no means as simple as trying to perfunctory her.

After all, he just wants to do his best to protect the people he can-

"Brother, come on? You can do it! ”

At this time, Eren took off the ornament he had been wearing around his neck and showed Yuna......

"What is this?"

There's a ...... in there. Photograph of a little girl with a double ponytail.

Does this guy say-

"This is my sister, who was also a victim of the beast's attack earlier, and is no longer ......"

Therefore, what kind of mood Yuna is in at this moment, even if he can't fully empathize with it, he can understand part of it.

"I don't want you to be as unfortunate as my sister. In that case, it will definitely ...... Someone is sad. ”

That's right, just like I was back then.

"I'm sorry, brother...... Please go with me and save those you can, right? ”

"You can do it - so, don't cry......"

At that time, my sister who was sent to the hospital was already a blur of flesh and blood - like a glass bottle full of cracks, it would shatter when touched!

"Please, please save her!"

was rejected again and again, but even so, Alan could only carry his bleeding sister on his back......

Just like that, one hospital after another!

"In this situation, it's too late for us to take care of ourselves! Go to ——! ”

And yet all he got was an answer.

"Brother, brother...... Enough is enough, right? If you continue, even you will ......."

"It's okay! It's okay...... It's going to be fine! Brother will definitely save you!! ”

So don't say such frustrating words!

"Thank you, brother......"

At that time, I could only let the sorrow that gushed like a spring, constantly ravaging myself.

"Also, I'm really sorry that I can't stay with you anymore."

My sister, who was drenched in the pouring rain, became weaker and weaker......

"Tone, please! Hold on, just hold on a little longer!! ”

Suddenly, Alan felt that his throat was sore and on fire! But at this moment, he won't care about this!

"Hmm...... I...... Got it. ”

- Obviously, it's my side that should say I'm sorry!

Why is this happening? Please, it's okay for everyone...... Help her!

Don't take anything away from me anymore! Don't take her away......!

"Please!!"

Yet his desperate cry; The prayer was like a bouquet of wilting bellflower at the bedside, unheard by anyone.

And at the moment when my sister closed her eyes as if she was completely asleep, the night happened to fade completely.

The weight on the back is also ......

"Tone? Sound?! Feed!! Answer...... Sound!!! ”

However, at that moment, Alan felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out......

"Really? She...... Is that why you joined the Knights? ”

- He couldn't deny that this was indeed the most important reason, but it was far from being the only reason for this. ——

Indeed, it was true that he joined the Order in the first place to avenge those fellows, and he never showed mercy to his enemies......

But I am different from myself now.

- To prevent the same tragedy from happening again, and to prevent as many people as possible from becoming unfortunate......

For that reason, he's here at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have guessed ...... you"

Ah, I don't know anything about myself. Sensing this, Yuna immediately apologized honestly.

"It's okay, although I did lose a lot of time because of this guy during the time he left."

"But...... That's all in the past. ”

“......”

However, Yuna can only accept this statement, even if she can't agree with it.

Because, if he really doesn't care anymore, it is impossible to wear this charm all the time...... Isn't it?

"Anyway, now we need to get to safety as soon as possible—"

"Where else can we be safe? I'm afraid the whole of Midgard is in the hands of that guy at this moment, right? ”

Faced with her doubts, Alan could neither refute nor deny it.

"Let's go to my hideout in the suburbs first."

However, it is not a matter of course to give up for such reasons. That's too much of a—

"Huh? Do you have a place to hide? ”

"Well, it's not easy to spot, and there's plenty of food and water. as well as the drug ......"

Then, after asking Yuna's permission, the three of them went straight to Allen's current residence.

After a week of conditioning, Riveria's body has almost recovered......

So the three of them began to discuss how to get the other members of the Order out of the Order—

If they are to find a way to stop Ozman's plot, they are undoubtedly the necessary fighting force.

"Professor, are you really okay?"

"I don't have anything, I've said that many times, right?"

At Riveria's insistence, Eren gave up trying to persuade her to rest for a while, and once again unfolded the map of Midgard—

"The trickiest thing is that now we are familiar with every place that is easy to break through has that guy's eyeliner arming......"

"In that case, wouldn't it be okay to get rid of them all?"

As soon as the words fell, Alan and Riveria both stared at Yuna in disbelief......

"If it were that simple, I would have succeeded before......"

- For some reason, Alan suddenly began to fall into a whirlpool of self-abandonment.

"So, you've tried it before?"

Yuna asked suspiciously. As for the answer, just look at his expression.

However, it cannot be delayed any longer.

Even if there is enough time to come up with a well-thought-out response, there is no guarantee that Ozman will not do anything unexpected......

And when the situation turns out to be like that, it will be even more tricky.

So the three of them decided that since there were no flaws to follow, let's try to make another head-on breakthrough -

"Sure enough, it's ...... again"

The next day, after some elaborate disguise, Riveria and Alan once again prepared to infiltrate Midgard......

In short, they deceived the guards and managed to take advantage of the dense crowd and blend into the city. Now hiding behind a crane.

However, in the face of the same dense patrol posts in front of him, he suddenly fell into a dilemma-

"Those guys patrol in shifts, and they change a batch of sentry posts in about an hour, what should I do?"

"Do you want to wait until the evening to try to break through?"

INTERVIEWER I decided to try to break through from the front, but if possible, everyone wants to use an easier way......

But it seems impossible! In that case, it has to be ......

"Rush straight over!"

"Professor?!"

As a result, the two still had to face countless enemies!

Thereupon...... Of course, the moment they were all leveled, Eren and Riveria were also squeezed out of their last strength and lay on the ground!

However, no matter how tired their bodies are, the rest time left for them is also like a flash in the pan.

In other words, there is no time to hear at this juncture, and ...... After all the fuss just now, it must have been discovered, right?

Unexpectedly, as soon as such an idea came to them, they were again fiercely besieged!

As a result, in order to get rid of the pursuit, he had to hide like a rat crossing the street.

Even the filthy and smelly sewers can jump in without hesitation!

"Really, why......"

After a while, both of them became stinky.

"Just bear with me for a while, Professor. We've gotten rid of those pursuers, haven't we? ”

"That's what I said......"

Immediately afterward, the two of them made their way down the sewers that ran through the town—avoiding the pursuers and saving them a lot of time.

It didn't take long to arrive at the destination.

"Who?!"

Outcome...... At the moment when he saw that he was about to succeed, he was discovered by the guards......

However, Eren took the lead and broke the guy's neck before he could struggle for help!

"Is it right here? Your companions? ”

He nodded.

But what surprised Riveria even more was that she didn't know that there was such a ...... beneath Midgard's beneath the ground It's like an arsenal place.

"I'm afraid that Ozman guy secretly built it, right?"

As he had assumed, it did look like a place to craft weapons......

It's just that this is what it looks like on the surface—

"Here."

Following Allen's guidance, the two walked straight through the gates and came to a place that seemed to be a lifting platform.

"Do you mean to go up on this thing?"

And at the moment when Riveria replaced Allen, who is not good at operating sophisticated electronic equipment, to carry out the decryption operation, he inadvertently alarmed the guards here!

"Oh no!?"

Immediately, guards similar to "terracotta warriors" came out of the wall one after another!

"Professor? How long will it take?! ”

"It's going to be done soon, please hold on a little longer!"

As a result, he could only continue to do his best to crush the guards who tried to get close to him and Riveria.

However, unlike them, compared to machines that can run indefinitely from start to finish, Eren undoubtedly has a definite limit to his physical strength!

No matter how strong he is, he can't always rely on one person to contend with a seemingly endless stream of enemies, even tireless enemies!

"Alan, cut off those guys' heads-"

"It seems to be their control center!"

"Got it——!"

And the following facts also proved that Riveria's words were not wrong.

"Really stopped??"

- At the moment when he was taken aback in disbelief, the corners of Riveria's mouth rose slightly.

"Alright, don't be surprised, I'm going to start the lift. Hurry up and ......."

As soon as her words fell, Alan hurriedly ran up! Immediately after that, the lifting table was successfully started.

"That's amazing, Professor!"

This makes Eren feel both admiration and gratitude for Riveria-

"The last time I came here alone, I couldn't do anything about this lift......"

"So, thank you very much!"

With that, he bowed deeply, with the greatest sincerity he could show at this moment.

"You're exaggerating, and besides, it's not the time to thank you, is it?"

- Of course he understood what Riveria meant, but even then, he wanted to do it.

“......”

Then, as the lift stopped working, they came into a large space that looked like a library.

After groping around, I found the entrance!

"I have an impression of this place!"

"Really? Then let's go down the stairs and have a look—"

What's in there?
