Forty-Nine - Confession of the Defeated Dog Duo (self-proclaimed).
Like this, he gave up quibbles, and in exchange for Tachibana Yukino's heartfelt sigh. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I have to say that under Ji Yuehua's nonsense, the sense of guilt that sprouted in an instant has indeed weakened a lot...... No, even the original solemn atmosphere has been broken.
"Actually, you could have told me directly."
At this point, neither anger nor anxiety is gone. The only thing left is a faint helplessness and heartache. After a pause, Yukino Tachibana continued, "You know I don't blame you for being nosy......"
"However, I always think that there is a high possibility that you will avoid the topic if you say this."
Before Tachibana Yukino finished speaking, Ji Yuehua had already taken over her words with half-open eyes, "Sister Yukino, you are the type who will hide everything in your heart." Although they actively worry about others, they do not confide their worries in others. The reason why I asked for help was because as a boss, I had to think about the safety of my subordinates...... If you could, you actually wanted to solve the dilemma here alone, right?"
Although Ji Yuehua's calculations brought a small episode, this place was still beautiful at this time, as if it could melt the heart.
Being watched by Ji Yuehua with gentle eyes, although the other party did not mean to force it, Tachibana Yukino felt an invisible weight and swallowed her saliva silently.
This pressure comes from the environment and from Ji Yuehua's eyes -- the kindness in his eyes is too pure and too serious, and there is no way to refuse.
The moonlit night is intoxicating, as if it has an invisible attraction, making people let go of their defenses.
If there was even the slightest noise like that, then she would have an excuse to divert her attention and distract her.
If there was a third person here, then she could excuse herself by saying she was embarrassed and refused to reveal her feelings.
From this point of view, Ji Yuehua's environmental construction is still quite successful.
The environment that is infinitely close to a vacuum makes all the elements firmly locked on Tachibana Yukino. What's more, the two of them are in a jungle away from the road at the moment, and they can be 100% sure that no one will be involved in the conversation halfway.
“...... That's what I hope. It's just a pity that I can't. ”
In the end, I couldn't refuse that kindness.
If it were someone else, there would be even a little room for evasion. However, the subject was a regular visitor to her small tea ceremony room...... The Ji Yuehua who has always been drinking tea and chatting with her. The kindness from a close friend can't be done even if you want to.
Tachibana Yukino took a few steps to the side, leaned against the big tree behind her, and said softly, "The frequency of Calamity Beasts has increased a lot in the last two years, and this is an external problem, not my own...... I know that. Adjutant Yakumo and Division Commander Xiao were not wrong in what they said. But I just can't stop thinking about it...... If I can reach the level of the Marshal of the East, will I be able to deal with the difficulties in front of me alone without relying on the strength of others?"
"When the old man of the East is at the age of Sister Xue Nai, even the A-rank calamity beast can't beat ......"
"I know!"
interrupted Ji Yuehua's comforting words.
The haze that had appeared on Tachibana Yukino's face in the afternoon resurfaced again. Perhaps because she felt that she was a little unreasonable, Tachibana Yukino's eyes had the slightest apology, but at the same time, she pursed her lips unwillingly and said word by word, "I know it's me who is too demanding." Progress is gradual, I am not without effort, and the achievements I have achieved are not really so unimpressive, and even better than many people...... I should have been content with it, working silently, and silently getting results. But...... I'm just unwilling! Division Commander, he handed over this position to me, and Yuehuajun, you also fulfilled my wayward request...... Why, I can't even do my part?!"
Just as Ji Yuehua expected.
Infected by the surrounding environment, Tachibana Yukino opened the closed doors and windows in her heart...... Then, out of control.
As the content of the speech progressed, the soft, sweet, usually confident voice began to tremble. Tachibana Yukino bit her lip hard, although her beautiful face was not distorted, but it was only because she was trying her best to endure it, and her pretty face was full of unwillingness and anxiety.
Maintaining such an expression, Tachibana Yukino was silent for a while before taking a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been vexatious."
She's not an impulsive person after all.
After the excitement subsided slightly, he regained his reason as a division commander, and then gradually returned to calm.
Tachibana Yukino had a deep apology on her face, and whispered softly, "It's rare that Yuehua-kun has the kindness to come and explain me...... I'll reflect on it. What you said to Adjutant Yakumo is the one that makes sense......"
"What if I say, I don't think so?"
“!!!!!”
Originally, Tachibana Yukino was close to fully regaining control of her emotions. However, Ji Yuehua's soft words were like throwing a small pebble into the lake, and once again, it disrupted her rhythm.
"Sister Zi, she's a real super genius. All the while, she has encountered as few setbacks as Sister Wing Lam has detonated the lab. Her talent is enough for her to face all difficulties, so she is always able to move straight forward on the "right" path. I...... It's a little different. ”
The whisper was mixed with obvious tangles.
Ji Yuehua slowly walked to the opposite side of Tachibana Yukino, followed her example, leaning her body against the trees, but her eyes did not meet the gaze of Kamibana Yukino, but quietly, looking at the ground.
"No matter how hard you try, you are separated from Sister Zi and them. Of course, in the eyes of others, I may have done a good job, just like Sister Zi and the others, they are all monster-level creatures. But this feeling of frustration haunted me for fourteen years. ”
"I don't think there's any need for you to compare with Adjutant Yakumo...... Yuehua-kun."
"That's right! I didn't, I didn't, I didn't. The value of people is not reflected in comparison, not to mention, Sister Zi, they are very good to me...... In my heart, they are the most important people. There is no competition between us, there is no life or death, and even if I just want to protect them, I don't have to be stronger than them. I can make many, many weapons to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the 13th Division of the Military Headquarters as a whole, as I do now, so that the possibility of them getting into trouble will naturally be reduced. At the same time, I have never slackened my training, even if my combat ability is not up to theirs, it is still a rotten ship. Even if my opponent is an S-rank Calamity, I have the confidence to fight. Therefore, there is no must, there must be, there is no comparison, this is the right one. ”
