Instantly, when all the hustle and bustle; all syllables; The moment when all the touches leave the body......

Vane suddenly realized what kind of situation he was in at this moment-

If the current situation is to be described in an appropriate word, then there is no doubt that everything is over!

And that's the price it takes to be a hero, and it's a matter of course today.

So it is natural to fall into this indescribable despair.

If you want to go out now, it's impossible, right?

Sometimes, having self-knowledge is a good thing to move your head half-hips......

It's just—

"Why the hell am I ...... So take it for granted? ”

And he didn't even have the slightest unwillingness?

It was almost entirely surrounded by raging fires and passages that seemed to be left in ruins.

Debris and rubble continued to fall like a downpour......

What's even more unbearable is ...... Just the thick smoke like a stormy sea made people cough again and again.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the suffocation continues.

It's obviously such a desperate situation and a Jedi, but he still holds a glimmer of life as if it's incredible......

I believe that someone will come to solve the siege or something-

Such an idea instantly made Vane himself feel that it was too ridiculous......

But is this not allowed?

And now the ship is shaking violently like a flat boat, and there is a danger of being crushed at any time and anywhere.

At that time, will I be buried in the boundless universe like this guy?

I've thought about how I'd die countless times, but even if I racked my brains, I couldn't imagine that it would end this way-

In a word...... It's not decent at all.

It's too far from what I imagined......

The answer to this question, even if you really put such a question in front of you......

She couldn't give a decisive answer either—maybe she would die until the last minute, right?

It is also possible to accept such an outcome as if they were willing.

But that was in a helpless situation...... That is, if it is possible -

"I want to live, I want to live at all costs!"

- Even if it comes at the cost of using someone else's life as a stepping stone!

Humans are selfish and selfish creatures, so it is natural to think so, right?

However, if this is the case, I don't have the confidence to do what I say without hesitation.

Take the sacrifice of others as the price of your own survival, this kind of thing...... How is that possible?

However, the result of not choosing to do so is this.

Why? Why is this happening?

In the end, even if you are in a desperate situation-

She still thinks not of herself, but of "others".

Such a choice; Such a decision; Whether such a sacrifice was worth it or not seemed to even she didn't know.

After all, it's just learning and selling from someone—

But it's not like that at all......

However, she has never regretted making such a decision and choice.

And this ...... Is it also "correct" in a sense?

Because I once knew such a fool who "gave up one to save all".

Of course, my current self undoubtedly hates stupid people who maintain such naïve thoughts the most-

But then, however, it was ......

That "stupid" was regarded as the object of longing by himself at that time without hesitation.

Even if she's not anywhere in the world anymore.

However, even so, the mood at that time is still the same to this day.

"Really...... Stupid as well. ”

Unconsciously chewed on this kind of muttering and swallowed it back into his stomach without mercy......

While thinking about such a question non-stop; While groping around, I came to the power room "R3".

To be honest, the amplitude and frequency of the shaking of the ship itself have become faster and faster as time has passed, and there is still a tendency to get worse......

But at this moment, Vane can't care about feeling these anymore-

Because that would only add to the fear. Now she has something to do...... And it's something that only she can do.

Immediately after that, the door to the power room "R3" was opened.

"This is the R3 power room, Her Royal Highness Princess...... What's the point? ”

The sound is made by the power room automatic management program. Of course, it can only stay on a screen like a movie screen.

Nevertheless, what Vane is now seeing is indeed a "virtual person" that has been reconstructed and projected through precise calculations.

There is no doubt that this is to facilitate conversations.

"Well, there is something I want to ask you for, 100,000 urgent."

"If that's the case, then please give the order as much as you like, right? My current host is undoubtedly you, so please don't be scruples. ”

Even if the words or tone are very much like ordinary people. However, everywhere people can really feel that what is being talked to at this moment is just a "program".

That's right, the one in front of her is just a "program" that can be seen everywhere.

"After all, it's my duty to carry out orders."

"You're going to make me ashamed to say that......"

After listening to it in the blink of an eye, "she" immediately showed a smile as if it was a matter of course-

Even if the smile was just mimicking what she knew; "Human" as it is understood.

"Her Royal Highness the princess really hasn't changed at all, even if I'm just a program that is not worth mentioning, would I have such thoughts?"

Vane couldn't bear it, and "she" noticed it immediately.

And understands better than anyone why she thinks the way she does.

However, it is precisely because of this understanding that "she" can come to such a conclusion without changing her face-

"Thank you, but please don't forget that I'm just a program, and I can have as many substitutes as I want. So don't hesitate any longer. ”

Immediately after that, "she" said her wish without thinking-

"Please erase me! And I guess you're here to do that, right? ”

“......”

Now, Wayne couldn't deny that fact again.

"In that case, please do that, right? I think that's a very correct judgment. There is no doubt that you have made the right choice quite right. ”

As soon as the words fell, it seemed that Vane had finally made up his mind-

"After 10 minutes, it's all right?"

This time, her tone and tone were categorical.

"Yes, I see. Then it's time to say goodbye...... Good luck."

However, when the room was shrouded in silence again, Vane also understood as if he had suddenly realized-

The so-called good luck may no longer be able to favor itself.

However, this is a decision that cannot be changed even if we all end up.

Because, this is undoubtedly the last thing that I can accomplish -

In that case, where is the reason for backing down?

And at this moment, those disgusting white slime has slowly wrapped the entire room!

"Hey, I said Matz, why are you so embarrassed? Do you usually sing songs every night, which makes you forget to return? ”

Gareth teased as if he was caught off guard. Madz was overwhelmed for a moment.

"Shut up, be careful I beat you!"

But as if he hadn't heard, he ignored it.

- This guy is this kind of place that is so annoying......

"Anyway, luck...... Is that already done over there? ”

"Rest assured, everyone is safe and sound...... Anyway, why is it just you and the team, Your Royal Highness the Princess? Isn't she with you? ”

Now, under the questioning of his friends and everyone, Maz finally told the ins and outs......

"Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

“...... You don't think, don't do it, I'm afraid it's ...... there."

And now everyone understands that this is not the time to point fingers at each other.

However, if she can be persuaded in this situation, it won't be her, right?

"Hey, you're really going to cause unnecessary trouble!"

The luck of such an angry rebuke has already turned around and returned.

Look, that's what she is......

Could it be that "stupidity" is hereditary?

"Hey, lucky! Even if you turn back now, I'm afraid it will be too late by now! ”

Of course, she wouldn't listen to such advice—

"So what's the solution? You can't just do nothing and watch the expected results happen, right?! ”

She absolutely couldn't accept this kind of thing......

Because...... Because, ah!

If the same tragedy happened again, this would undoubtedly be the most unacceptable to her-

That kind of thing......

It is natural to make such a judgment now, so she cannot hesitate and hesitate on this issue.

"What a joke! I will never allow that again! ”

Whether it is to become the object of spurning again; Or is it the loss of a partner who has been with you all along......

Fortunately, neither side can accept it, and it will never be allowed!

Because, that kind of thing is too ruthless and too cruel!

And Gareth saw that she was acting on her own again, as if she was acting on her own, so she could only chase after her—

"Why do I always have to clean up the mess for you?"

Such complaints are also commonplace......

I've been used to it for a long time......

In the blink of an eye, he poured out his bitterness in the private channel.

"You can go back if you don't want to, after all, I don't need helpers or anything like that."

"I said you...... Don't be reckless at this time? ”

"We're partners in the same squad, aren't we? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part? ”

- Of course not, it's just ...... I don't want to bother you.

"Long-winded! I don't care what happens later! ”

As soon as the words fell, Gareth breathed a sigh of relief.

Is it finally accepted?

- Maybe it sounds impersonal. But there's no doubt that this is her unique way of recognizing others.

"What! You still need help! ”

", believe it or not, I'm going to blow you to pieces right now?!"

"Just shut up and follow."

"Yes, anyway, the big army has been entrusted to Matz, so I'll make a big fuss with you!"

Unexpectedly, the moment the words fell, a dense glowing object like fireflies naturally appeared on the radar, which was originally nothing-

"Huh? This is...... What's the situation?! Could it be that we would have taken such an action, and the other party had already guessed it in advance?! ”

Gareth, who suddenly realized this, instantly broke out in a cold sweat-

"Luck! Behind...... No, at 3 o'clock directly behind, countless enemies were approaching, and this shockwave was—"

In an instant, the enemy's attack had been launched, and he realized that it was too late to notify the guy at this moment to try to dodge.

"Hey, in that case, you can only—"

So he had to use his body to rudely knock away the lucky tactical machine that still hadn't come back to his senses!

"What are you doing all of a sudden?!"

At this moment, I understood why he didn't even have time to explain-

"Gareth!?"

Of course, the price of doing so is-

I had to endure a storm head-on!

The blow to his left arm and right shoulder was immediately reflected on his body through the "sharing" system......

Suddenly made him grin in pain, and he couldn't help but let out an intermittent scream!

“！”

Witnessing all this, Yuki also decisively burned the enemy in front of him to ashes in an instant through a dazzling switch of weapons and an intolerable burst of fire!

This magnificent fireworks are as dazzling as a flash in the pan!

"You stupid, why do you want to make a meat shield for me?!"

"If you could have found out earlier, I really wouldn't have to-"

However, in the next moment, the blood stains from his wound actually soaked through the shell of the tactical aircraft......

“...... I can't thank you enough. ”

"I know, after all, you're such a guy....."

However, the hero who did not hesitate to save the United States was exchanged for merciless scolding and accusations.

"But they were aiming at your head, and if I don't, you know what the consequences of a direct hit will be, right?"

The pain in his right arm as soon as he finished speaking suddenly interrupted his words!

"Even if that's the case, I don't need you to save me!"

“...... Is it? That's it, right? ”

The moment he blurted it out, even Yuki himself knew that this was just an excuse forcibly made for his timidity.

But even if she understood this, she didn't want to admit that she was really scared and couldn't move......

"You're really awkward!"

Gareth endured the heart-rending pain, and without hesitation, he ripped off the right arm of the tactical machine-

"Really, I'll give you a hand! After all, I can afford to pay this level of price! ”

Thinking like this, he was actually exhausted for a long time-

How long can I last myself?

"The enemy will be handed over to me, you hurry up and rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was angrily reprimanded again-

"Are you burned? No matter how good you are, the other party has an overwhelming advantage in numbers? How can one person stand in the way! ”

Gareth certainly knows this better than anyone else.

However, if you try it with the awareness that you will die together, you may be able to get the "answer" you want.

"Anyway, we can't both be dragged in this kind of half-place, you don't have to be a mother-in-law anymore!"

“......”

As soon as the words fell, she decisively left Gareth, who looked embarrassed, and ran towards the ship alone!

"Don't get in my way!"

"I don't have time to pay attention to you now, so don't get in my way!"

In the blink of an eye, he swung out the sword-like weapon in his hand! In an instant, it caused a chain explosion like dominoes!

"It's all said, don't get in the way!"

After some relatively easy crushing, the ship was already within reach.

"Gareth, thank you."

And she knew better than anyone that the reason why it was so easy was because he shared a part of the enemy.

So at least send a minimum level of gratitude.

Besides, that's all I can do at this moment......

"So...... I'll give you the results you expect in return! ”

With that decision, she had gotten as close as she could to the cracked ship.

"Is it so badly damaged?"

Although the worst had been expected......

But it actually looks like a big surprise......

"Anyway, let's go inside first, right? But I don't think there's any such thing as a survivor in this thing today......"

"But if it's Her Royal Highness the princess, it's worth the gamble!"

Thinking so, she jumped directly from the tactical plane and onto the deck of the ship.

"Really, it's like a garbage plant!"

There was blood and undistinguishable fragments everywhere......

Now, it's impossible to know who and who left these behind, right?

Since there's no way to know, there's no need to care, right?

In short, there's only one thing you have to do now, right?

Then she looked around and came to this conclusion.

It's just that such a tragic situation - really, it takes courage to even look at it......

"But you have to go in no matter what kind of place it is!"

"It's really ......"

- Although I don't think there will be survivors on the ship so far......

But if the opposite is true, then it's worth it.

"And for now...... It is impossible to turn back in any case. ”

So now there is only one way left to move forward without hesitation.

"Anyway, let's find a way to find the location of Her Royal Highness the princess first!"

As she spoke, she took out the heat detector and life detector from her pocket without thinking.

But is it really reliable in such a situation?

"At least that way we won't miss any dead ends."

Let's hope so?

After all, ships are very large, and if you don't rely on human search with the help of instruments like this, there is a good chance that something will be missed.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, she deliberately brought it out of the standing equipment of the tactical aircraft.

"It's been a long time since I've done anything like this......

Prudence and seriousness have always been her strengths.

This was the case in the past, and there is no doubt that it has not changed in the slightest.

"That's all the preparations!"

Immediately after confirming that everything was ready, she began to grope and move into the depths of the ship little by little......

Of course, every step is quite deliberate.

After all, you have to be prepared for a surprise attack......

However, the smell of corpses along the way made her unbearable several times-

It's not that I regret being late. It's the hatred and disgust of oneself who can't do anything in the face of the situation in front of him!

"If only I could have arrived half an hour early...... Maybe—"

No, what's the use of thinking about it now......

There is no way to regain what is lost......

After all, it's as simple as that.

"Those guys look like they're using this as a lair......"

As more and more enemies were killed along the way, she finally noticed something different-

"Life reaction? And it's not just one? That is to say......"

With her reasoning powers, it is impossible not to know what this represents.

That's right, the R3 powerhouse is the right place to go!

As soon as the words fell, she immediately ran towards the destination without hesitation!

- On the way, of course, I got in the way and got in the way......

Although the quantity is not a problem, it still takes some effort.

But even so, we arrived at our destination without any problems.

However, her desperate cries were not answered. But just because there's no response doesn't mean you're going to get nothing. Seeing is believing!

"In that case, so be it!"

- Then she kicked it with all her might, and in the blink of an eye, the door of the power room turned into scrap metal—

"Really...... At this time, how can I care about identity authentication......"

Then came the ......

It was Vane, covered in blood but unharmed—

"Sorry I'm late!"

"It's finally here...... It's not in vain that I've persevered until now. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, in the blink of an eye, her exhausted body instantly lost all support because of her overdrawn physical strength......

In an instant, he fell to the ground like a shard of glass!

“......”

Fortunately, her eyes and hands were quick to support her body at the last moment.

"Honestly, if you were 10 seconds late, I might have died."

As soon as the words fell, she immediately showed a helpless wry smile.

"Really?"

Looking at the corpses around him that seemed to be like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Xing's expression seemed to be even more gloomy than that of the person concerned.

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

"I'm just talking about things, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, I can live thanks to you, don't I? ”

However, this gratitude and gratitude are somewhat deserved for luck.

"Anyway, let's find a way to get out first! It's never too late to say something after that. ”

"This ship has 30 seconds to start the self-detonation program, so I don't know if there is enough time......"

When she learned this fact, she was immediately stunned-

"30......30 seconds?!"

In the blink of an eye, her expression froze......

But on the other hand, she will do her best within the limits of her body-

In other words, they will not hesitate to abandon one side when necessary.

But the object of abandonment is undoubtedly himself......

Because she knows better than anyone that she can never give up "others", so she can only give up "herself".

I am such a person, whether it is right or wrong, this is the principle that I have been implementing from beginning to end.

"Well, I'm sorry for you."

However, if you look at the results, there is no doubt that this escape was a success. It's just that the price paid is really heavy.

Fortunately, he paid the price of almost crippling the left half of his body......

"We've escaped!"

There was a blank in my mind, maybe that's what it felt like to be really exhausted?

But now he is also responsible for piloting tactical aircraft. So she couldn't allow herself to let go of her tense nerves like this.

"Now all that's left is to return!"

Even though the wound was bleeding at this moment—

Even if there is an emergency, there is no way to make the situation better......

"Shh

However, she did not think that the cost was significant......

On the contrary, I feel that this level of cost is simply not worth it, and it can be ignored. ——

That's true when compared to the results you're getting.

"You're still the same as you always focus on the end result and habitually ignore the process!"

She also silently accepted such an evaluation. Because at this moment Vane is telling the truth.

"I'm ready to go to Heaven."

“......”

- "Please don't say such things that make you angry. ”

Immediately, she retorted earnestly as if her face did not change.

"Huh? Is it? You weren't indifferent to what I just said? Why? ”

Wayne's expression of knowingly asking questions as if he was playing tricks on people couldn't help but make people feel unwilling...... Of course, that also includes my current self.

- "Because, that kind of statement...... Isn't it obvious that my efforts so far seem to have been in vain? It's so cunning! ”

But that's not the case......

Both of them know this.

"Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was not seriously injured, wound treatment is still a top priority. Do you understand? ”

Then, under her aggressive advice, Vane had to honestly admit defeat-

"Yes yes, I see, I see......"

After saying this, Yuki tried to hold the joystick again-

"Well, let's go back!"

However, although it seemed that a consensus had been reached as a matter of course, it seemed that the hand did not obey the call.

"Let's rest for a while, shall we? After all, you're not lightly injured......"

"Okay, then I'll try to contact Gareth first, that idiot might have been worried until now."

Then she tried to call. Strangely enough, no one answered.

"It's weird, did that guy have some accidents?"

Unexpectedly, at the moment when Xinggang thought so, the expected response came-

"I'm sorry, I'm busy dealing with them, what's wrong?"

After listening to his usual frivolous words, I was relieved -

"No, I just wanted to tell you that we've solved it too."

"It's worthy of you, you really solved something single-handedly...... I wouldn't have been able to do this kind of thing. ”

There is no doubt that these words are flattery, but they are also frank in another sense.

"There's nothing to do in flattering me. You know that, right? ”

Frankness, after all, is the only good thing about this guy.

"Yes, yes, of course I know, after all, your strategy difficulty is simply a boss-level existence!"

Caught off guard, Yuki, who was frightened by these words, cut off the communication in the blink of an eye mercilessly-

"You're looking for death?!"

Her attitude hadn't changed until then......

On the other hand, however, Gareth is undoubtedly true.

"Really, it's still like this today, right?"

"You guys have such a good relationship!"

"Where?!"

However, this is also true, just look at her expression at this moment-

"What I like is—"
