Chapter 15: The Journey

"Me and Ralph's irresponsible dad, the only word left for us" Rasotov let out a long puff of his cigarette.

"I was only eight years old at the time, and one day my mother, holding my brother and me, saw off the man, and my mother said that he had gone to join the Rangers for us, but within a year of his absence, my mother fell ill, and the man did not come back until she died...

The glasses smiled and seemed to be in a much better mood, "Fortunately, there was enough work in the mining area at that time, and the mining restriction order was not issued, so Ralph and I can live until now... Probably, a girl like you, will not understand how lowly orphans like us grow up without a father in a place like the mining area... ”

"So, every time I see the word Ranger, my heart is full of anger! Hatred! Suffering... The point of light in the corner of Rasotov's eye, against the light of the three-dimensional star map, finally turned into a silver line across his face, and his fists were clenched, trembling a little.

"And the hateful missing..."

At this moment, a small, smooth and white hand swept across Rasotov's face.

"I can understand ... It's really hard for a child without parents to grow up in a mining area... Nataya involuntarily gently stretched out her hand and wiped the tears from Rasotov's face.

"Oh, it's rude" Rasotov couldn't help but smile when he noticed the cold little hand, looking at Nataya. "So, if the patriarchs decide, we are going to the gray area, will you come with me" The cigarette in the hand of the glasses only took a puff, and the cigarette burned naturally, and most of the body had turned into ashes, crumbling.

Nataya looked at Rasotov seriously, "Can you get from the Gray Zone to the Char Star Zone, or the Central Star?" The glasses were very strange The girl's rhetorical question, he thought for a moment and replied, "No, unless you go around from the Monsaka Empire, but even though it is in peacetime, this kind of crossing the border cannot be done without legal procedures."

"That's right. . . Then let's go our separate ways! When he heard this, the ash of the half cigarette finally fell.

"I have a lot of things to do... Nataya frowned in distress, stretched out her small hand with slender fingers, and broke her fingers one by one... The first thing, General Quill and Captain Seaver are good people, and I haven't completed the task they gave me~~ The second thing, I'm going to send the dwarf bean back to the Central Star as soon as possible to help him find his family, this little villain follows me to cause trouble... The third thing, I'm going to find my brother, he joined the army and went to the Char Star District, the two years of military service are almost up, after finding him, let's find you together, and then we can form a wanderer alliance! It's all orphans, and we'll adopt orphans in the future so that no one will dare to bully us! ”

Nataya told the glasses what she wanted to do happily, she was not very good at comforting people, but she thought that if she said what she was happy about, others would at least not be sad.

After finishing speaking, the girl raised her arm, put her right hand in front of Rasotov, and slowly stretched out her little thumb.

"Hey, if you're going to have an engagement ring or something, shouldn't you stick out your index finger or middle finger or something!" The glasses smiled and looked at Nataya.

The girl has a black line... "Pull Gou, wouldn't it! If you make a promise, you have to hook it!! ”

"Pull hook or something... Are you a six-year-old ... Rasotov looked speechlessly at the girl in front of him, who was not much shorter than him.

As he spoke, he extinguished the cigarette that had gone to bed after only one puff, stretched out his right hand, and patted Nataya's clenched fist.

"Let go of your hand, such an important ceremony as pulling a hook, isn't it so perfunctory for you!"

Rasotov lightly slapped Nataya's palm, then formed a fist, touched the back of Nataya's hand, and then stretched out his little thumb and said to Nataya, "Do this, come"

The big sun-colored hand and the slender little slap struck each other in the air, and then turned into two clenched fists, colliding with each other, and then the two little fingers stretched out and hooked together.

"That's it, people who don't talk become puppies" Nataya smiled happily, although it was simple for Brother Salami to hook with himself before, all promises were fulfilled, and now in this world, there is one more person who can hook with himself.

"Second master, the meeting of the patriarchs is over, go to the gray area" The correspondent who had just come in reported the final decision of the old men to the glasses.

"Very good, then get ready to go, Gray Zone, it's ours!" Rasotov's momentum instantly bloomed majesticly.

"It's ours!" When Nataya saw the excited Rasotov, she also happily raised her small fist and waved it in the air.

"You're not a pirate, how could it be yours... Flatter yourself... Rasotov laughed and hit Nataya.

"We are an alliance~~ What's yours is mine... It is.... ”

When the joyful voices of these young people have not passed through the building, they were instantly flooded by the hot Latour mine, all kinds of spaceships were pulled out of the warehouse, and the transportation robots were busy shuttling between the warehouses and spaceships, and in the depths of the mine, people were installing all kinds of high-explosive ammunition and energy-consuming bombs, and the bright strong lights made this seemingly tiny place in the universe shine like a nova.
