Sometimes I can't help but think of good and evil; Where is the line between right and wrong?

For example, killing people is undoubtedly evil, but what if the other person is a heinous fellow?

In the same way, helping others for good, but what if the person has a lot of money in the first place and just wants to take advantage of your compassion?

When faced with such a situation, what should the so-called justice and evil be?

At this moment, Lemuel's mind suddenly flashed through these questions as a matter of course, but what he didn't understand was why they had deliberately chosen to run out at such a time.

In front of him is a stormy enemy, and the only weapon he uses to defend himself is a shotgun. ——

This guy is just right to kill himself.

This means that he can't afford to waste even a single bullet, and if he is careless, he may die......

However, he never questioned the correctness of what he had been doing all along-

If humanity has only risked their lives to fight these guys in order to survive as hard as they can......

So is it possible for the other party to make the same choice under the condition of reciprocity?

If their purpose is simply to survive......

If you are forced to do such a crazy act, is the confrontation strategy that human beings have been using all along?

Is the position of the aggressor and the victim reversed from the beginning to the end?

All these questions lingered in my mind like thousands of threads, but I could not find an answer that was enough to convince me.

This couldn't help but make him a little frustrated.

"What?!"

Unexpectedly, at the moment when he was confused and hesitant because of this, the ground under his feet suddenly fell apart!

Immediately after that, the tentacles that burst out from the ground in the blink of an eye bound him in a short time......

Tied up in the blink of an eye! Not even allowed to breathe!

"Other than that, remember that when facing these guys on the battlefield, don't hesitate no matter what!"

"Because even a moment's hesitation is enough to make you their meal! Do you understand? This is always more important than the so-called technical tactics! ”

"If you ask why, it's because indecisive guys are like household garbage......"

"It's all for Lao Tzu to remember, if you can, it's better to engrave it into your bone marrow, because life, and life, is only once for everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, the instructor quickly threw the teaching materials in his hand to Lemuel without saying anything-

"Wow?! Brother!! ”

However, surprisingly, the books, which would never deviate from the goal, were yawned and avoided by Lemuel as a matter of course!

"I'm still teaching! Lemuel!! ”

"Well, I know...... But—"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again.

"Again, my ears are almost calloused, so I can't help it...... I can only choose to catch up on sleep. ”

Lemuel's calm tone sounded as if he was dealing with his own mother, but in short, it felt a little perfunctory.

"I stayed up late last night for some personal reasons, and this part, Vane can attest."

"Hey, hey! Don't throw the pot at me?! ”

And in the face of her brother's natural attitude, she could only tremble, as if she stood up like a mummy.

"Laphria, I'll just ask bluntly, is what you just said true?!"

At this moment, Lieutenant Radam, who was an instructor, was full of anger, and he was so frightened that Vane couldn't help but knot his tongue -

"So the so-called rumors that the third watch sneaked out of the dormitory in the middle of the night and wandered on the street are also true?"

"Ah...... Actually, if I had to say it, it was dating, not hanging out—"

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, Radam was already angry......

- If you lie in this atmosphere, you will really be miserable by the instructor who is already angry-

In short, it may be impossible to escape from three months of confinement no matter what.

As soon as the words fell, whispers suddenly sounded in the originally quiet classroom.

"That's enough, you both get me out...... Get out of here now!! ”

In this way, the siblings have not known so far that this is the first time they have been blasted out for the same reason......

"Then I'll go first!"

After saying that, Lemuel quickly left his sister without looking back, and the same situation seemed to be repeated every day.

Suddenly angry, Vane couldn't bear it anymore again, blushed, and scolded-

"Stupid brother!! How can this be!! Why am I the only one being punished every time......"

"Hey! Don't run, I'm not done yet!? ”

At this moment, Lemuel had already rushed out of the academy and headed straight for Riveria's mansion.

"That's, it's me!"

I don't know why he used to be casual, and he only felt shy at times like this-

And the reason why he feels shy is also very easy to understand: because Riveria's mother is a great beauty.

- Of course, this is only a judgment based on his personal aesthetics. However, this is a well-known fact.

"Yo ho, wait a while, it's not very convenient to pick up customers now, so you have to change your clothes."

"Yes...... I understand! ”

As soon as the words fell, the door opened—

"Come in, you don't have to be so formal, right? Look at your embarrassed appearance, what kind of basket are you poking again? ”

The well-proportioned and slender woman in front of her said with a smile on her face. Dressed in a cheongsam wrapped in silver, she undoubtedly brings out her tall and well-proportioned figure better.

“...... Sit down, and if you're looking for Riveria, I'll be responsible for waking her up. ”

"Or are you thirsty? If that's the case, there's a Coke in the fridge, so take it yourself. ”

"No need, I'll go up and find her myself!"

After speaking, he ran to the second floor in the blink of an eye. It was like going into your own home......

"I'm annoyed, Mom...... Please let it go. No matter what you say, I've decided to catch up on my sleep at home today. So—"

Riveria covered her ears with a pillow and whimpered sleepily.

"Who is your mother, anyway, it's all three poles in the day, and you're still sleeping?!"

As soon as the words fell, a series of sounds shook like mountains!

"Wait? Wait a minute? Lemuel!? Why, why are you in my room—"

Then, after being taken aback, Riveria fell off the bed without any suspense......

Although the appearance is not covered by clothes, it seems to be unexpectedly feminine? There are ghosts......

"What the hell are you doing? Is it so rare for me to wake you up? ”

"Anyway, it seems like my line, right? Why are you at my house at this time? Isn't it supposed to be at school?! ”

"Ah, you said that, I ...... warped"

"Please, can you not make this right-for-granted thing seem worthless? I'm really convinced. Come on in! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she passed by Lemuel and went in the opposite direction.

"Hey, why are you going?"

"Breakfast, of course, we will eat and talk about the rest."

After that, the two who returned to the room began the long-awaited conversation: "Although I know that you are looking forward to this, you did say that you can come over today......"

"But you don't have to be in such a hurry, do you? Also, I don't understand the design of this tactical aircraft at all. ”

"Don't understand? What don't you understand? ”

Originally, I took it for granted that if there was one person in the world who could understand this thing, it would be Riveria.

—but her answer made all of Lemuel's anticipation and excitement come to naught in the blink of an eye......

It's like pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.

"All, all...... In other words, do you really think that such a thing that completely violates the common sense of physics can be designed and manufactured? ”

"What's wrong? Isn't it handsome? ”

- In the blink of an eye, these words made Riveria show a helpless expression again-

"This is not for viewing, if you are just handsome but can't put it into actual combat, in short, it's just a pile of broken copper and iron!"

Then she pointed to a pile of wings on the back of the giant humanoid machine, and pointed out unceremoniously—

"Also, do you think that with these two thin additions like cicada wings, you can make a machine that weighs several times as much as a human soar into the sky?"

"Please, there must be a limit to naivety, and even if it can be achieved, what about the fuel problem? What about the battery life? ”

"Seriously, have you thought about that?"

"And to carry weapons? Well, Lemuel......"

To be honest, I do admire your imagination, but it is absolutely impossible to make this guy the standard equipment of the current combat troops! ”

"Is it really impossible? Absolutely ......"

Faced with his mood as if he didn't see the coffin and didn't shed tears, Riveria didn't hesitate to focus on what he just said...... I didn't hesitate to repeat it -

"Impossible! Absolute!! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to roll around on the floor in the blink of an eye......

Needless to say, you can see that you are annoyed by this.

"Besides, how the hell did you come up with such a thing?"

Faced with Riveria's problem, he had no choice but to confess......

"Yes...... It's animation. ”

Unexpectedly, the moment she heard the word, Riveria froze for a full minute, and then—

"Huh? Are you an idiot?! ”

I scolded without even thinking about it. Because, this guy's idea is so ridiculous......

- Bringing the crystallization of pure imagination to reality or something...... How could it be!

Surprised, she stared at the paper for a long time, even to the point where Lemuel was sweating profusely......

"What, what's wrong?"

Immediately afterwards, Riveria recovered from the shock she had not expected, and only sighed-

"You're too whimsical, aren't you? Do you want this guy to be involved in real combat? ”

"Can't you?" ——

Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two became quite delicate, and then Riveria spoke—

"I'm sure that if you were to present this kind of design to the top brass of the military, it would have been completely rejected in an instant."

"Compared to this, your secondary school illness is almost time to graduate, right?"

Her meaning was already clear, this whimsical design was not so much impossible to achieve as too avant-garde.

That is, no one will want to drive.

After all, the price to be paid for a slight mistake is too great......

"Hey, are you so absolute?"

In the face of his aggressive and dejected appearance, Riveria had no intention of changing her mind -

"You know that, right? Your imagination is too avant-garde, so it is destined not to be accepted. But—"

"However, I don't mean it's just that it's not going to be the standard for combat units at the moment."

The conversation seemed to be at this point, but Riveria was clearly not satisfied.

"That is, what do you mean?"

"In short, if you're just trying to make it right now, it's not impossible."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt as if Lemuel's whole person was shining.

"Uh-huh, and then what?" ——

You see, right? This guy is super looking forward to it...... Really.

And in fact, when it comes to this, the meaning that Riveria wants to express is already very clear-

"If it's just a prototype, I'll give it a try."

The result was undoubtedly exactly what he wanted.

"Riveria—"

So in the blink of an eye, he changed his tone to face his friend in a rather serious tone.

"Don't pounce!"

As soon as the words fell, in the blink of an eye, Lemuel, who seemed to be so excited that his reason had evaporated, was kicked in the face......

"I ..... I love you! ”

"Huh?! What's that? Disgusted to death...... Shut up ......"

And just when he wanted to repeat it seriously, he was smashed by the pillow that Riveria casually threw over!

"You, you! Fortunately, the person you said this was me, if it had been someone else, I'm afraid you would have been beaten up a long time ago. ”

It was also the only time he had seen Riveria blush, but they didn't know that it had taken too long to make this promise happen.

However, if you don't look at the process and just look at the results, then there is no doubt that it has indeed been achieved.

That's right, the design plan that was rejected to that point by myself at the beginning was actually realized by myself, which sounds even more incredible than the thing itself.

Of course, now that Lemuel is in crisis, she is also restless......

However, even if I am worried about this, I still can't do anything.

- Because, although he has a design talent that is different from ordinary people, he lacks the talent to drive the body. Is...... Why is this happening?

And this, I have to say, is a sarcasm.

"Fortunately, rescue has been dispatched in time, I hope it will catch up in time......"

The only thing left of me is prayer.

And the only remaining hope is pinned on the so-called "luck", right?

Unfortunately, however, I don't believe in so-called "gods" or "miracles...... So Riveria chose to believe in luck.

Although I don't believe it, the desire to be safe and sound for Lemuel is real.

"Because...... I, our research all along, is definitely not expecting diametrically opposite results......"

Coincidentally, at the same time, the rescue team also arrived as a matter of course -

In an instant, countless daggers fell from the sky, and in an instant, all the chain-like tentacles that bound Lemuel's hands and feet were ruthlessly severed......

The subsequent sweep and crushing of the enemy is almost unreasonable-

"How dare you torture Your Highness so badly, in this case, even if it is a matter of course, even if you are torn into thousands of pieces, right? Go to hell! ”

As soon as the words fell, the scenery in the field of vision, everything, was drowned in the raging flames like stormy waves in the blink of an eye.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, we're late, are you alright? This hurts ......"

Although it arrived in time; The goal had been achieved, but Lemuel's injuries still startled the rescue team, and they all fell into a stunned situation.

"Don't mind, thanks to you, you saved your life...... But if you can—"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, his body lost its balance in the blink of an eye! Fortunately, Maz quickly held on to his seemingly shattered body......

Although injuries are commonplace, if the body is covered in bruises and flesh and blood is blurred every time, how long can this person's body last?

A warrior is not a machine that can run without sleeping......

It's flesh and blood exactly like ordinary people......

And there is no doubt that the human body cannot withstand the destruction of time and time again, let alone the state of being covered in bruises every time.

Lemuel, however, was the polar opposite,...... Especially in this kind of matter, he would never ask others for help.

Even if you burn it out, you won't ask for help—for atonement!

Although this kind of personality is obviously just unreasonable and stubborn, and has been pointed out by Lila in front of him mercilessly, he does not intend to "change it when he knows his mistakes".

And at the same time, he felt that it was not a mistake, but a right thing for himself-

"Why? Don't you believe us? ”

One day, under the pressure of Lela, who refused to give up no matter what, he finally told the reason: "On the contrary, it is because I believe in you that I do it." ”

"That's why you put the responsibility, and all of it, on your shoulders? And ......"

"If that's the case, isn't there no point in our existence? You're so stubborn......"

"Listen, the reason why everyone is willing to follow you is not because you are strong, but because you protect everyone with practical actions; protects us, but—"

At this moment, she is quite serious-

"But that doesn't mean you need to carry everything on your own, you know?"

"We can help you share the ...... It's not just me, everyone wants you to be able to rely on them when the time is right."

"By the way, that includes me, of course!"

——

Because, if a person wants to carry everything on his shoulders, it is just arrogance in his eyes.

However, although she has been taught this lesson mercilessly, she will still accidentally forget her words as if they were not careful.

"Really, I hurt like this; The body is also covered in bruises, really......"

"Captain, if your sister knows about this situation, I'm afraid I won't be scolded to the blood......

In the makeshift medical care facility, which is made up of countless tents, Maz has been blushing and blushing all along......

However, it was not really a fear of being punished, but a fear that he would not wake up like this.

If it develops into such a result, it will feel creepy just thinking about it.

"No, it's impossible, how is that kind of thing possible!"

After repeated denials, he finally remembered the regular contact agreement before leaving-

Although that kind of thing is just a unilateral request for luck-

As a result, the moment he dialed the phone, the voice from the other end almost made him deaf: "It's too slow!" Why did you only think about contacting now?! ”

“？！”

Matz, who was suddenly taken aback, hurriedly took away the mobile phone that was attached to his ear! - Ah...... I can't stand it......

"Do you want me to be deaf?!"

Immediately afterward, he complained bluntly, but the reply he received was ......

"How are you, compared to this, how is Your Highness? Is the injury serious? ”

"What? What's the deal with this apparent differential treatment?! I said, we're colleagues anyway? ”

However, his words were once again ignored as a matter of course—

"Shut up, I don't want to listen to your bullshit! Is he okay, Your Highness? ”

A simple sentence struck Maz to the point that he was speechless.

But after a while, he recovered—after all, the guy had never changed when it came to this kind of thing.

"Your Highness, he was seriously injured and unconscious, and now he is not out of danger of his life, and the medical team has taken emergency measures-"

"What did you say?!"

Compared with his own side, fortunately surprised, dumbfounded, and more than that.

"How, how...... What to do, Your Highness...... Dead, dead?! ”

"Shut your crow's mouth...... He's alive, alive! It's just a serious injury!! Do you understand? ”

"Anyway, if it really gets to that point...... I'll save him even if I trade my life for my life!" ”

"I can assure you of that! So, calm down! ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh...... Thank you. ”

After a few moments, the panicked tone finally returned to its usual calm.

"What about the others? Is anyone else hurt? ”

"To be honest, from our standpoint, it is really impossible to be unharmed, almost all of them have different degrees of injuries, but fortunately, there is no one less."

As soon as he came back to his senses, the scenery outside the window was already like night falling......
