"I always feel ...... It's completely different from when I was on a mission, 2B. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "9S, who jumped out of the roof and caught the lower end of the auxiliary machine after performing a double jump, and landed on the ground after passing through the barrier flexibly, said suddenly.

“…… Where? "Still, operating in a dilapidated ruined city, dealing with wandering mechanical lifeforms, and still carrying out tasks in small teams, 2B doesn't feel any different from before.

"Mood, mood," 9S said, patting his chest, trying to put on the brightest smile on his face, "We were lifeless on a mission before, and after a little chat, 2B you 'This has nothing to do with the mission', 'Cyborgs can't express feelings'-ah." ”

“…… I'm sorry. "Even with the black cloth-like 'tactical eyepieces' on his eyes, 2B's sad expression was palpable.

The boy accidentally stepped on the thunder.

Because of his own suppression, 2B did not disclose his real mission in the end, but 9S could vaguely guess the answer. It's not about forgiveness or forgiveness, the Type 9S body that was killed before has nothing to do with him now, and it can even be said that if it weren't for the previous Type 9S body being killed, he wouldn't be able to exist here...... Of course, it's not completely unmindful, what kind of eyes did 2B look at himself before, which made Sichun a little panicked. If the goddess in my heart treats herself as an enemy all the time, this is too desperate, right?

But it's obvious that 2B's psychological problems are more serious, she has a lot of guilt about 9S, and the cold words before are actually all to keep 9S away from herself, killing strangers is more comfortable than killing close friends, protecting her soul in disguise...... Now 9S accidentally complains on this point, which inevitably reminds her of the past.

"I mean, now we don't need to worry about those rules, we can talk about other things, and Lord Leeds encourages us to express our feelings," 9S tried his best to remedy it, forcibly taking the topic back, "and we now have a place to go back to, and we have someone to serve in front of us, and there is hope for the future!" Everything is different! ”

The truth of the "Leaf Project" gives them despair, and Leeds gives them hope.

At present, it is [Hope] that fully covers [Despair].

“…… But until then, we're going to live. 2B, who was not in a good mood, gave a very good answer.

"Say, that's right, yes." 9S was also pushed back by this sentence, and he didn't know how to take over this topic that should have been talked about and laughing about, and after thinking about it, he turned his head to look at his companion who was walking in the front, "Miss A2-"

"-You two, annoying." A2 didn't even let 9S finish speaking.

"Uh, hug, sorry."

9S said that he just wanted to guess with others what was in the Overworld...... It's so hard to talk all day.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Neither an artificial human nor a mechanical lifeform.

It is not tolerated by the android group, nor is it tolerated by the mechanical life form group.

This is the situation of all the members of the "Sending Leaf Force".

Therefore, when Leeds sent them a recruitment message for 'trainee villagers', almost all of them nodded in agreement at first...... The ones who hesitated for a moment were "the commander who thinks he doesn't have the qualifications" and "A2 who has a blood feud with the mechanical lifeforms", but in the end, they all chose to agree under the persuasion of others. Whether to be entangled in the past in gray despair, or to challenge the future in colorful hope, which side is more attractive, it is self-evident.

When Leeds and the others took the Gundam Expedition, most of the 'trainee villagers' went to the Overworld for further study...... It is said to be 'further study', but in fact, everyone knows that this is to let them temporarily avoid the limelight, and in this situation, only staying in the "Overworld" is the safest.

It's just that not all androids went to the Overworld. Liz tricked Adam into going to the Forest Kingdom and Eve to the ruins of the amusement park half-because he didn't want the brothers to follow him and cause trouble, and the other half because he did have a little interest in these two places, and only after the incident did learn what kind of evolution the "mechanical life network consciousness" had cultivated in this area. But rather than the forest kingdom and the ruins of amusement parks, he actually cares more about the "pacifist village".

This is the group of mechanical lifeforms that really abandon the order of [destroy the enemy], Leeds entrusted his trainee villagers to leave a few people to investigate, if the situation is true, by the way, a friendly message is conveyed - 9S, who was originally an investigator in the area, recommended himself, and followed up with his group of 2B, and finally added an A2 who has a strong prejudice against mechanical lifeforms.

Through a simple investigation, they found the location of this small village, which was roughly sandwiched between the ruins of the amusement park and the giant trees of the forest kingdom, which was relatively deep, which is why 9S had not been able to discover their existence before.

In the end, A2, 2B, and 9S arrived at their destination.

"What the hell is this?!" The three of them had imagined many images of the village, but they were still frightened by what they saw.

It's all because the entire village of mechanical lifeforms, large and small, is waving the white flag, without exception.

If you listen closely, you can hear the words "waving the white flag means surrender", "we will not fight", and "we do not want to fight...... At first glance, it has a strange atmosphere of mechanical life forms in the ruins of amusement parks, but listening to their speeches and words, you will feel that they are still a little different from the former who shout "We are happy".

“！” The trio who were cautiously approaching the village immediately drew their weapons and assumed a combat stance when they spotted a mechanical lifeform coming towards them.

This is a relatively rare mechanical lifeform, according to the size of the medium-sized mechanical lifeform, even if it goes all the way to the three people, it still waves the white flag in its hand like other mechanical lifeforms, "We are not enemies, the three of the "Leaf Troops". ”

"That's hard to say!" A2 still can't bear the presence of peace-loving mechanical lifeforms, which is why she stayed on purpose, hoping to expose this lie with her own hands.

"Miss A2...... I regret what happened to your companions. The medium-sized mechanical organism had a clear apology in its tone - that alone was enough to prove that it was different.

"You know me?!" All three were shocked.

"Maybe I'm a mechanical lifeform, but I've been exchanging supplies and information with the commander of the android rebels in the area, and she's the one who told me about your arrival."

"How is this possible?!" The trio couldn't believe it, but it also explained why the villagers welcomed them in this way.

"You...... Who the hell is it? ”

"My name is 'Pascal', and I'm the chief of this village,"
