Hearing Ji Yuehua's words, Tachibana Yukino fell into silence as if she was choked, and her pretty face wavered for the first time.

What Ji Yuehua said, how could she not know?

How much her life has changed since her legs were crippled———— and she knows best about that.

What was supposed to be as simple as breathing suddenly couldn't be done.

Not to mention some difficult challenges, such as climbing cliffs or swimming 100 kilometers in the sea with bare hands, even if you want to climb the ladder in daily life, it takes several times more effort than ordinary people.

In my mind, the memory of standing on the battlefield and fighting side by side with my comrades and friends is so vivid. However, now she is confined to a wheelchair.

Whatever you do has become difficult, and even small things like recycling clothes to dry on rainy days have been banned. Every morning, I go to the sun, go for a walk at noon, and go home in the evening to wait for my friends and sister to come back...... In the face of such an extreme contrast, if she is not reckless, how should she face her life?

Only by pretending to be casual, while showing a strong smile, anesthetizing herself with slogans———— repeatedly emphasizing to herself in her heart that as long as she is alive, good things will always happen, can she swallow the bitterness and bitterness of daily life into her stomach.

Telling others that you don't matter is not only literal, so that others don't worry about yourself, but also a kind of self-comfort and encouragement.

As long as you live, good things will always happen. But who can guarantee that bad things won't happen? The living are tormented every day, while the dead are released from the sea of misery early. Those who are able to conquer their disabilities with great courage and complete disability, in the true sense of the word, are only a handful of examples. So, what should the rest of the ordinary people do?

That's right.

Since we cannot accept reality indifferently in the true sense, we can only selectively forget about the things that have become extraordinary in ourselves.

Tachibana Yukino thinks that he is not the kind of person who belongs to the superhuman level of Dongfang Canglong in both body and mind, and has been destined to embark on the path of a hero from the very beginning. Therefore, as an "ordinary person", she naturally chose to learn to force a smile.

As long as you force yourself to focus on other things, after a long time, it seems that there is really a sense of relief.

It took her six years to forget about the scars and gradually devote herself to her retirement.

But.

But what do you think......

Why do you have to uncover her scars at this time, so that she can remember that bloody reality again?

Almost subconsciously, Tachibana Yukino wanted to break free from Ji Yuehua's embrace. This time, he went straight to the fullest.

It should be said that he is worthy of being the commander of the 13th Division of the former Military Department? Even though I have been retired for almost five to six years, I have not seen much regression in my skills.

There was no way to see it from that weak appearance, and it was even better than the brown bear, and the huge force came from the abdomen, and the pain made the expression on Ji Yuehua's face distort suddenly.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been conducting special training with Dongfang Canglong for a while———— he had made a lot of fists every day, he might have screamed in public by now.

But, even so.

"I said, Sister Yukino......"

Ji Yuehua still didn't let go, as if she didn't allow the other party to escape, and increased the strength of her arms domineeringly.

Originally, before getting straight to the point and clarifying his plan, Ji Yuehua still had a "what if" in his heart.

If Tachibana Yukino can calmly withstand his temptation and use this to trick him in turn——— just like Dongfang Soryu responded to him with a smile before the competition a while ago, then it proves that his and Tachibana Chisakura's worries are completely unnecessary. At that time, he will naturally kneel down and apologize, kill or chop, and go to the soup and fire. After that, find a way to seal Tachibana Yukino's mouth to prevent the other party from telling Yakumo Azusa and the others.

But.

The act of trying to flee from him was more serious than he had imagined, rather than just confirming his original suspicions.

Originally, he just thought that Tachibana Yukino would be forced to a desperate situation under his questioning, and he had to "open his eyes" and discover the problems in his current life. What I didn't expect was that under the attitude that seemed to have accepted the reality, the other party would be shaken to this point.

———— it turned out that he was still wrong.

Just like him in the past few years, this senior sister is also escaping reality.

Because Tachibana Yukino is always so reliable, she never shows her weakness in front of others. Ji Yuehua originally thought that the only person who was not angry was herself. As everyone knows, even the gentle smile that thinks about people is just a disguise.

He anesthetizes himself through the virtual world of anime and games, while Yukino Tachibana uses his own strength, as if hypnotizing himself to ignore the inconsistencies in his daily life. As a result, the two are divergent and end up in the same place.

The reason why he didn't notice the problems he and Tachibana Chizakura were concerned about was that Tachibana Yuki was not smart enough, it was simply that her life had already changed drastically, so on the premise of forcing herself to accept a "new life", she naturally took some inappropriate things for granted. In other words, it's just the result of recklessness.

Realizing this, Ji Yuehua couldn't help but feel like a knife, and her chest felt as uncomfortable as if it had been pierced.

Ahhhhhhhh As long as you are stimulated by the outside world, such as poking your finger with your finger, the blood will flow out like a spring.

———— it was he who ruined the other person's life.

In that case, there is nothing to say.

There's only one thing ———— can do.

"I don't know how much time it will take, but I'm sure I'll send that black guy to Yellow Springs and come back alive. By that time......"

Tachibana Chizakura's words echoed in his ears.

Since it is impossible to get each other's lives back on track in a hurry...... No, as the culprit who destroyed the other party's life, this responsibility should have been borne by him.

"————— as a reward for the brave who returned triumphantly, I hope that the princess will dress me in a wedding dress. I swear that I will spend my life taking care of you and making you happy. So...... Promise me, Sister Yukino. Wait for me to come back at my house until then, okay?"

With a gentle whisper that seemed to be being scratched all over her body, Ji Yuehua straightened up slightly and kissed Tachibana Yukino's soft cherry lips.
