As time passed, the surrounding area gradually became full of ruins, although I became accustomed to this scene of ruins......

However, every time I witness it, my mood is still indescribable.

However, such a result may be unavoidable, and what should be faced must be faced......

And at the moment when the entire spaceship gradually collapsed under the premise of fragmentation, the work of the handover personnel was also carried out step by step-

This must be done slowly, because once you fall under the domination of negative feelings, the results can be imagined.

However, the guy who gets in the way will always do everything possible to get in the way......

After all, this is "boiled duck......

"I'll deal with these troublesome guys, just concentrate on the transfer and handover!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Vane simply sweep and slash down several moth-like enemies in the blink of an eye!

that fearless figure; The will to never back down even if you are covered in blood......

and the belief that even if there are bruises all over the body, we must protect every fresh life behind us...... All of this has a negative impact on the object of protection—

That is, Maz, and his rescue team, are incredibly dazzling!

It's always been like this.

But if the situation is allowed to continue, won't it be a reversal of the cart?

- The object that should be protected has been protected in turn......

At this moment, Maz suddenly realized-

It turned out that since that time, I have not grown at all......

How could that be possible! In the final analysis, this is a problem of lack of manpower and tactical coordination!

"The engine restart is complete, and the critical breakthrough of energy filling is complete!"

"Your Royal Highness, all the work is done!"

Vane, who had heard this, shouted at Maz

- "Get out of here, I'm going to get ready for the blaster!" ”

"What are you talking about? Could it be—"

In the middle of speaking, Maz suddenly noticed......

He couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, because he finally realized what Vane was planning to do-

To put it simply, the guy who seems to be on top is actually just a clumsy and clumsy guy; The idea is a little naïve, innocent little girl.

In other words, she clearly intended to bury her life with the body of the spaceship that had been shattered at this moment!

"How can this kind of thing happen!"

So the moment he realized this, his inner struggle had surpassed his instinct to think as a matter of course-

Definitely do everything you can to stop her!

"There's no escape."

Over time, regarding his own situation, Wayne came to this conclusion -

Neither enlightenment nor determination are yet sufficiently ready.

What's more, what's even worse is that at this moment, I am actually trembling with fear......

"Haha, it seems that I'm still far from Retilia senior......"

And this, for her, who has always regarded Retilia as her goal and vision, as an ending is not perfect-

More or less there will be regrets, right? For example, I didn't see my brother for the last time or something......

Really, why are you so scared when it comes to the end?

For her to make such an realization, everyone was shocked and at a loss......

However, there was one person who did not hesitate to scold-

"Are you an idiot? What exactly is the point of this self-sacrifice?! ”

"If you can't get everyone back safely, it's like you're messing around!"

"Anyway, I don't care what you think, but I hate it, especially the feeling of sacrificing the few to save the many...... This kind of idea is great guy!! ”

"What?"

Natalie's words froze Vane's expression in the blink of an eye—

She didn't know how to answer.

Or a rebuttal...... In the end, was it just a pleasure to be scolded?

What the hell is this? Could it be that my idea was wrong from the start?

If that's the case, then what's to be done?

At this moment, Vane didn't know what to do for a moment-

Getting everybody to go back is something that looks or sounds unbelievable...... Is it really possible?

In fact, she didn't think that such a thing could really be achieved naturally......

"Don't you think it's too much to say that if you die, you're going to be nothing?"

"And it's still killed by that kind of thing that doesn't make people ghosts or ghosts, I definitely don't want it!"

"I'll do my best to survive, even if it's just stealing and being under the fence! But why are you able to accept this fact so calmly?! ”

At this moment, all around is a raging fire like a broken thread, choking, pungent smell of smoke......

In the blink of an eye, Vane had to give up resistance.

And the moment she had to be forced to accept this fact, she soon found that her body was gradually falling like a fragment of glass!

It's like a close-up shot from a movie......

What? The limit is coming too fast, isn't it?

"Shhhh What a troublesome guy! ”

Natalie, who witnessed this situation, couldn't bear it anymore, and she decisively jumped off Matz's body!

Because, the direction in which that guy fell was outside the cabin-

If you don't hurry up and hold her, you can't hold her up—

Then, she grabbed the ship's seemingly crumbling rotors, and then carefully withstood the smoke that seemed to be overwhelming......

Gradually move in the direction of the hatch!

"Why do I have to do this? Since that guy accepted it calmly, wouldn't it be better to leave it alone? ”

However, it is impossible for me to do something like this-

At this point, Natalie is still self-aware......

- She would never be able to do such a thing as not saving her when she saw death.

Just because I don't want to see someone in front of my eyes again......

Lost his life for all sorts of rotten reasons -

If there is such a person in front of you, then you will definitely not hesitate to lend a hand!

Even if there is no benefit to be done......

For example, a guy like Vane --

Death as home? Self-sacrifice? To hell with something like this!

"Really, it sucks!"

Is she laughing at herself? Or are you actually referring to others who have nothing to do with you?

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately used the weight of her entire body to completely destroy the originally shattered hatch with the help of a kick!

Immediately after facing the onrushing enemies, she found a support point and stunned them one after another with her bare hands......

That's right, bare hands.

Without any weapons, she could do this even with her bare hands!

Immediately after that, he used the discarded iron rod as a weapon, and successively forced the enemies who were pouring in from all directions to retreat without hurry......

And deprived them of the ability to continue fighting!

"I said don't get in the way, I don't have time to play with you now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately bit the iron rod to death, and slammed the beasts into the wall like steel and iron bones one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a slimy unknown milky white liquid splashed out like a spring! Doused Natalie squarely-

In the blink of an eye, she looked a little hideous now......

Immediately afterwards, I saw that she instantly changed to a long soft sword like a leather whip, and at the moment when everyone had not come back to their senses and what had happened......

Slice through the raging fire in front of you and push back to both sides!

This kind of amazing combat power that burst out in an instant suddenly made Madz stunned, and he couldn't believe his eyes-

"Is that guy really just human?"

There are even such evaluations......

Of course, she heard—

"But this kind of quantity, one person can't fight against it at all. So the best way to do this is to do it quickly! ”

- Quick fix? If she could, she would certainly do it...... But—

In fact, compared to a quick solution, Natalie's methods and actions are more simple and crude-

She was undoubtedly doing her best to avoid fighting any of them—

At this time, it is important to save as much energy as possible......

On the one hand, he skillfully avoided the fangs and claws that smashed down like Tarzan's top press; While completely ignoring the air resistance, he galloped and galloped!

In the whole process, we do not hesitate to subvert all common sense and physical laws!

"And, the last corridor!"

However, just as she was about to rush over with all her might, the black shadow that appeared from around the corner really surprised her-

"Huh!?"

But it's not a big deal—

Natalie took advantage of the situation to make an emergency stop, and quickly drew her sword after mastering her balance-

It's a crisp cross slash in front of you!

"What the hell is going on!?"

What followed was a scene of blood splattering, and it looked like irregular graffiti.

"Could it be that she used the knife in her hand to complete the slash at the moment of contact between the two sides?!"

The shocking facts were like waves of stormy waves, and suddenly Maz felt that his thinking was about to catch up!

This guy is really too strong......

Eventually, Natalie arrived at Vane's side almost unscathed, and she quickly sheathed the scarred body on her back......

"Really, the guy who caused trouble until the end......"

At this moment, although she looked covered in bruises, she fortunately did not suffer a fatal blow.

This can't help but make Natalie breathe a sigh of relief! "Sorry......"

"Shut up now, not to mention that I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"

That unquestionable hard-line attitude suddenly made Wayne feel a little kind and nostalgic......

That's right, it's exactly like Retilia seniors who willingly entrust themselves and their teammates' lives to the battlefield.

- "It's really like ......"

"What do you say? Like? And with whom? ”

"Forget it...... Compared to this, is the blaster you just mentioned ready for the blaster? ”

Vane nodded without hesitation.

Then, at the moment when the two of them jumped out of the spaceship with all their might, they threw the "elemental **" that had been prepared long ago into the cabin behind them!

This was followed by a black hole-like explosion vortex and impact!

"People are fine, if you stay here any longer, you will be swept in, hurry up and leave immediately!"

And the one who unknowingly gave the order became Natalie.

However, due to the continuous impact of the aftermath and the huge, even irresistible gravitational pull, it is impossible to move an inch-

"There's no way, break through the limit of the thermonuclear reactor energy supply device to the maximum! Do your best to get out of the gravitational circle!! ”

"No! If you do this, the hull will be in danger of being shattered at any time! ”

However, Madz seems to have no idea what the team members disagree with-

"If you want to live, do it, or we'll all have to give our lives to this hellish place!"

"Do you want things to be like that?!"

The answer, of course, is yes, because no one can afford that outcome.

No one wants to see such an outcome......

"Yes, the critical breakthrough limit value has reached the maximum! But it seems that the other party is still stronger?! ”

"Don't give up, it's okay if the body is destroyed! If that guy in Riveria is held accountable, I'll take it! Full valve open!! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was taken aback, but no one objected-

"Yes, all valves are open!"

The reason why he did not hesitate to do this is because Madz knows better than anyone -

If you still care about the so-called gains and losses at this point, then the consequences will become irreparable......

And that will be a burden that no one can carry......

And it was for this reason that he made a decision that was in line with this.

"Drive as hard as you can, I don't have time to look around now!"

Even if he didn't say something like this, everyone would know it.

"Whew, I can finally take a breath."

At this point, it can finally be regarded as an escape from death-

However, there is no sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Is it because I'm too nervous?

If so, it's really inferior......

But then again, as long as the result is good, you can rest assured, right?

But she felt that similar things would happen again and again.

After all, as long as there are traces of those guys in this world, we probably won't be able to return to a stable daily routine from beginning to end.

But even so, the constant resistance and struggle are not meaningless.

After all, this is something that has to be done, and if you want to return to a stable and stable daily life, then no one is destined to be able to stay out of it.

This is the simplest truth that everyone understands......

"Where are we going now?"

And for this natural question, Matz's answer is also quite refreshing-

"Let's go to my station first, after all, there is still some business to be done there, and you must be fed. Isn't it? ”

As soon as the words fell, the group drove to the demon cave that they had just escaped from without hesitation-

"Hey, are you crazy? Why go back?! ”

In the blink of an eye, Natalie was anxious-

"Don't worry, at least in my territory, I can guarantee that not even a fly can fly in!"

In an instant, I saw him grinning.

"If that's the case, that's fine, but if not, I'll beat you up......"

In the face of doubts, Maz immediately denied it without hesitation -

And I insisted that that such a situation would never happen.

"Can I really trust you?"

His answer to such a question is also an affirmative without hesitation.

"Relax, bad luck won't always be with you."

As soon as the words fell, they slowly entered the atmosphere......

But to be honest, its existence has become meaningless.

Now no one cares.

But even meaningless beings have a reason to exist.

"Are you finally back?"

Until he sent out the communication, everyone's hearts had been in a state of seven up and eight down—

"Yo! The hero is back! Did you miss me? ”

"Welcome back, Maz Senpai!"

It's always hard to greet like this......

And at this moment, there is a bit of nostalgia and peace of mind.

"Is everyone alright? No one has been left behind, right? ”

In this regard, Maz's answer is as confident as ever-

"Am I so untrusted? Of course, everyone is safe and sound, what are you thinking about? ”

After hearing this, everyone had to breathe a sigh of relief.

There are a lot of people, and they all come back-

"Anyway, I've brought a few friends back, so don't be too blunt later, right? Do you understand? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other.

Because I rarely touch on this topic, I am inevitably a little surprised.

It's not as much as an incredible feeling at this fact.

"Okay, got it."

However, despite this, everyone accepted it as a matter of course -

"Anyway, you're about to enter the scheduled landing orbit, but you don't look very happy, do you?"

In fact, there is a reason why the atmosphere of the whole room seems to be cloudy: "Captain, Your Highness, he is in a bad condition. ”

And for this not unexpected situation, Maz also remained silent for a short time -

Then he quickly diverted the topic-

"Her Royal Highness the princess is also slightly injured, but not seriously. I'll report on the rest later! ”

As soon as the voice fell, the communication was cut off. And the reason he did it was just that he didn't want to hear more news similar to bad news......

And not because of unacceptability, it is obvious to escape.

However, this is undoubtedly an evasion......

"It seems that it's not all happy?"

He didn't deny Natalie's words, but judging by the results, there is no doubt that the purpose of this rescue operation was perfectly achieved.

Because at least, everybody's back—

That's it, right?

"Really? If you want to meet good things, then both me and you must live as a premise. Isn't it? ”

"What? Are you comforting me? ”

And in this regard, he denied it without thinking-

"No, I'm just telling the truth at best."

And when the organism, which seemed to be like a towering mountain, once again stepped on the earth, which had no temperature at all, everyone knew that they should not be glad about it......

Still, they couldn't help but cheer.

"Tut-tut...... There's enough chaos! Isn't the body full of holes? ”

"If we return in a few days, we'll be scolded by Professor Riveria......"

And immediately after that, someone answered-

"Isn't that a rare situation? Judging from this miserable appearance, those uncles in the maintenance class don't squeeze the captain's wallet to have a ghost! ”

However, the moment Madz helped Vane out of the mech with difficulty, such chatters immediately disappeared.

Obviously, this is not the kind of thing that should be of concern at this moment-

"You don't ...... Doesn't it matter? ”

"I'm fine, but there are still a lot of people who have been injured in the operation and need to be treated as soon as possible. Don't worry......

Because, already used to it......

- Always take precedence over others. Who is the influence of places like Vain?

Natalie, on the other hand, looked around, and her always taciturn personality made her not greet her at the first time.

Sure enough, if you don't fit in with this kind of atmosphere, maybe you shouldn't have come to this kind of place in the first place......

"No, you have to rest now. Can't move around anymore! ”

Immediately afterwards, Vane's request to see Lemuel was denied as a matter of course......

"Uh, okay......"

But after all, there is no way to do it, right? Although I was really worried.

Even if it is only now that I know the news that "my brother is still alive", it is of great significance.

Unexpectedly, when she finally realized it, she found that she had already burst into tears......

"Great, great!"

Although Lemuel was not out of danger yet, it was enough for Wayne to know that his brother was still alive.

"Shall I help you to your room?"

"No...... That's it, Maz...... I can still be at this distance. ”

However, this mood unexpectedly lost to Mazna's obvious hard-line attitude -

"No, I can't leave you alone like this!"

"Maybe I might annoy you with such a move, but Her Royal Highness the Princess...... At least what does it matter if you rely on someone else for now? ”

In the end, Vane was convinced: "Okay, then please." ”

Compared to Matz's zealousness, Natalie witnessed from afar, but she never helped......

"Because, you can only rely on yourself. No one will really need you either. ”

I have known this fact for a long time......

But it's not that she's dissatisfied or unwilling to do this, if she has to say it, that is: she occasionally wants to know-

What is it like to be "needed......

What is that cold and piercing......

Or is it the complete opposite?

She doesn't know about this now......

And it is precisely because I don't understand that I want to understand......

At the end of the day, it's just a matter of course.

But perhaps this is not the time to think about it.
