Chapter 147: Before the Action
The huge crater looks a lot different because of the years that have passed, and the surrounding area is covered with lush jungle that makes it less obvious, but the concave structure is still recognizable.
Standing on the distant peaks offers a panoramic view of the crater, and the research institute was built near the crater.
The research institute has carved out a large space in the jungle, but on the surface, the house outside is very inconspicuous, but there is much more space under it than outside.
Prior investigation reveals that the building is far more protected than it seems.
Four Seasons and Autumn Blossom are now on their last field trip before the operation, and as soon as they are ready, they will start the operation tonight. It only takes a few days to prepare, which shows the high efficiency of the funeral society's actions.
"Let's go back."
After the inspection, Shiki and Qiuhua walked down the mountain.
Walking through a lush jungle, they came to the bottom of the mountain, where they could see the blue sea in the distance, as it was a place for tourists to take a vacation, and they could also see tourists bathing on the beach.
They may never have imagined that something is happening around them that affects the world.
"What a pity."
Suddenly, Qiuhua made a somewhat regretful voice.
"What's the matter?"
"Time is too tight, otherwise you can go to the beach and have fun."
They had only been on the Big Island for two days, and they had to prepare for action, and of course they didn't have that free time.
"Does Qiuhua want to go to the beach?"
Shiki deduces from Qiuhua's words, but then Qiuhua talks about a completely different topic.
"This is the last action, right?"
"It should be."
Destroying the research institute will be complete and they will not stay in this world for long.
"It would be nice if we could rescue Xiao Qi and go to the beach to play together."
"Even if we have time, we will leave Oshima immediately after the rescue prayer."
After Shiki answered seriously, Qiuhua laughed.
"The four seasons are really."
Qiuhua shook her head.
"I feel like there's still a lot of things I haven't had time to do."
“……”
Shiki feels that he seems to understand the meaning of Qiuhua, who doesn't really care if he can go to the beach, but hopes to spend more time with the people of this world.
"There will be opportunities in the future."
“!”
"What's wrong?"
Shiki saw Qiuhua's face with a surprised expression, he shouldn't have said anything strange.
"No, I just didn't expect Shiki to say that."
Qiuhua, who said this, laughed happily.
Why is Qiuhua happy? Shiki thought with some confusion. He hadn't noticed it yet, if it was before, he probably wouldn't have been able to notice Qiu Hua's nostalgic mood for this place in his heart.
Towards dusk, Shiki and Autumn returned to their temporary accommodation, a resort inn located by the sea.
Qiuhua said that there was something and parted with Shiji, and Shiji didn't care, so he walked back to his room.
When he came to the door, he happened to see the multi-legged automaton Hibernation passing by, with a few bottles of soda on his body. It crossed the seasons to the next room, but it couldn't get in because the door was closed, and it was probably impossible to open it from its height.
Seeing this, Shiki walked over to help.
It was the room of Thrush and Ayase, and because it was an emergency combat operation, they were all temporarily looking for a place to stay, so the members of the funeral society were also scattered, and Thrush and Ayase happened to be staying at this resort inn.
Although the two were injured, they still participated in this mission. Because in terms of electronic warfare, the power of the thrush is indispensable, and Ayase is the best endRave manipulator of the funeral society.
When Shiki came to the door, it turned out to be open. It was the thrush that opened the door, and it seemed that it had noticed the hibernation.
"Ah, you're back."
"Good afternoon."
As the two spoke, Hibernation finally entered the room through the open door.
"Is there something wrong?"
Thrush asked Shiki.
"It's nothing, I just see that hibernation can't get in the door."
"Oh, I just asked it to go shopping, but I forgot about it and closed the door."
"You can do it when you buy something?"
"Of course, it's smart!"
Hearing Thrush's words, Shiki remembered that this machine didn't seem to be an artificial intelligence, so it shouldn't be described as smart.
"What's wrong? Thrush. ”
At this time, Ayase came to the door, probably because she saw the thrush and did not come back for a long time.
"Oh, it's the four seasons, and it took a lot of time to investigate."
"Good afternoon. The inspection time is within the normal range. ”
"Where's Qiuhua?"
"She said there was something."
But the four seasons don't know what's going on.
"Don't talk at the door, come in. I would like you to drink soda. ”
"Okay."
There is no problem with the four seasons of thrushes.
The normal hotel room is not big, but it is no problem to enter three people.
It's just that the three people who came to the room fell silent, and they didn't seem to be able to find a topic at all for a while.
The four seasons are very calm about this, as if he wants to taste the chemical ingredients in the soda, and drink the soda intently.
"Hey, shouldn't you say something as a man?"
"I don't have anything I want to say, and it doesn't matter if I'm a man or not."
After answering the thrush's words, Shiki continued to drink soda.
"uh~~~"
Facing the four seasons, the thrush had a painful expression, although she didn't have that condition.
"Well, that ......"
At this time, Ayase on the side interjected.
"There's something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"What's going on this mission?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's weird. Although no one said anything. ”
Ayase carefully considered the language.
"But at times like these, we don't doubt Ya's judgment. Just ......"
Even if Ya's speech can boost morale, it can't really dispel people's doubts. In normal times, others don't care about such unintentional actions, but now the period when the accident just happened is different.
"This is something that cannot be sued by anyone else."
"I'm sorry."
Ayase lowered her head, in fact, she also knew this.
"It's the right thing to do, and it's necessary to save the world."
After thinking about it for a while, Shiki still added such a sentence.
"Is that correct?"
"Of course."
I don't know if it's an illusion, after saying this, Ayase and the thrush on the side seem to be a lot more relaxed.
After Shiki drank the third bottle of soda seriously, the sun had set, and at this time, Qiuhua also pushed open the door.
Then several people left the room under the leadership of Qiu Hua.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Shiki finally knew what Qiuhua was going to do.
"I borrowed the kitchen from the hotel."
The table is filled with a variety of foods, all of which are made in autumn.
"That's amazing!"
"You sue us, we can help too."
After sitting down, Thrush and Ayase said.
"I see, is it the Last Supper?"
Shiki only said one word to chill the atmosphere, and he was still eating despite the changes around him.
Everyone who already understood the character of the four seasons could only sigh helplessly.
After this dinner, it was time for the battle to begin, and perhaps it was because of the different atmosphere of this time, so all doubts and uneasiness were temporarily forgotten until the end of this dinner.
