"Well, you win." Colin, who was subdued by Leona, hung his hands helplessly, he tried to make himself forget the slender fingers that were still on his neck, and sneered, "But what are you going to do?" This is an air base, and if you kill us, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the gendarmerie. ”

"I didn't intend to kill you." Leona snatched the gun from Cecilia's hand, looked at Cecilia's stunned face, and chuckled, "I just don't like people pointing guns at me." ”

"Leona, whatever the reason, you should give us an explanation. After all, we've fought side by side, and you're hurting someone who was once in the same boat as you. ”

"But what if he volunteered for this test?" Leona looked at Robin, who was lying quietly in the eco-tank, with a pointful gaze, and then turned to look at Cecilia: "If he volunteered to participate in my test, why do you say I'm hurting him?" ”

"Voluntary?" Cecilia shouted emotionally, "How could Robin do such a thing willingly, he almost died!" ”

"If it's not voluntary, did I tie him up?" Leona chuckled, walked slowly behind Cecilia, and whispered in her ear: "Cecilia, don't impose your subjective assumptions on others, what you can't do doesn't mean that others can't do it." ”

"Could it be ......" Cecilia's shoulders trembled, her eyes were red and she looked back at Leona, and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that he has ......"

"What an innocent little princess."

Leona interrupted Cecilia's unfinished words and smiled bitterly, "Could it be that in your mind, men and women have no other pursuits than love?" Do you naively think that love is all there is to life? ”

“……”

Cecilia's words left Cecilia at a loss, and she didn't understand what Leona was trying to tell her.

"Cecilia, you dream of becoming a spaceship captain because you love the starry sky and the feeling of swimming in this vast starry sky. But, have you ever wondered why Robin chose to become an infantryman? Do you think you really know Robin? ”

“……”

Leona's words caused Cecilia to freeze as if she had been struck by lightning, and she stared blankly at Robin in the eco-tank. Only now did she realize that she didn't know what Robin wanted, and all along, she had been weaving a future according to her dreams, but she never thought about whether this future was what Robin wanted.

"Colin, tell me, why did you choose to be an infantryman instead of a radarman of another service?"

"Get stronger!" Without hesitation, Colin said the answer, and smiled wryly: "I can't stand a life that is too peaceful. ”

"That's right, get stronger." Leona lifted Cecilia's chin and forced her dodging eyes, "Robin wants to be stronger, and that desire is stronger than anyone else's. In order to become stronger, he can do anything. ”

"Even if it's to lose your surname? Give up future happiness? ”

As she asked the question, to which she already knew the answer, Cecilia seemed to hear her own heartbreak.

"For men, love is just the spice in their lives, something they can smile at when they are tired." Leona let go of Cecilia and sat back in her place: "The innocent princess always admires the prince on the white horse, but they never think about the prince's taming of the white horse. Cecilia, the prince you adore has not tamed his white horse, so will you make him a prince without a horse for fear of him getting hurt? ”

"I ......"

Cecilia was dumbfounded by Leona's words, and she suddenly felt that her worldview had been completely turned upside down by Leona, and the cruelty of reality scared her.

Beside him, Colin saw Cecilia's vacillation at the moment, he shook his head and said to Leona, "Maybe what you say is the truth, but I can't believe you just because of your words, so I'll wait here until Robin wakes up." ”

"As long as you don't disturb me, you can stay here any time you want."

With that, Leona ignored Colin and Cecilia and turned on her microcomputer to continue her research. Looking at her, it was as if the scene of the arrows and crossbows just now had never happened.

Leona can ignore Colin, but Colin can't ignore Leona. He grabbed Cecilia, who wanted to step into the treatment room, and didn't let her enter the treatment room rashly.

"Lee, come here, we're no match for her, now we can only wait for Robin to wake up."

"I've been on my way here for a long time."

Lee's lonely voice came from the headset, and it seemed that Leona's strong performance just now had hurt Lee's self-esteem as a man.

Hearing Lee's slightly lonely tone, Colin couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. Compared to Li, he was actually more stimulated, in the lightning and flint battle just now, he was subdued without even having a chance to resist. The originally seamless tactical arrangement has become a ridiculous farce in the face of the absolute disparity in power.

"Getting Stronger......

Looking back at Robin, who was sleeping in the ecological tank, Colin muttered to himself in a voice that he could only hear: "If I can really get stronger, maybe I will choose to bet on my last name......"

Soon after, Lee, who had finished storing his firearms, came to the door of the treatment room with his head down, and sat down beside Colin without saying a word.

Since the headset between Colin and Lee has been kept unblocked, Lee heard all the conversation between Colin and Leona just now.

"Do you believe Robin did it voluntarily?" After sitting for a long time, Colin suddenly asked.

"I believe it." Lee was silent for a while, sighed and closed his eyes: "We all know that Robin is a madman who doesn't want to die, but it's just ......"

Li opened his eyes, looked at Cecilia who was sitting on the other side in a daze, and shook his head helplessly: "It's just ...... Cecilia seems to be a stranger to such a Robin......"

Lee was right, Cecilia was indeed unfamiliar with such a Robin, and she had already felt this strangeness, but this time the feeling was still strong.

In Cecilia's mind, Robin's figure is still the big boy at Wald's Third Military Academy, who never pays attention to lectures and likes to spend his time on rugby and old-time martial arts novels.

At that time, he was funny, sunny, and full of sweet words.

Can ...... now

Cecilia couldn't overlap the current Robin, who was focused on armor modification, reading a lot of knowledge, and desperately trying to get stronger, with the figure she had left behind.

They are obviously the same person, but in two years, there has been a sea change. Robin is no longer the sunny boy of the academy days, he has grown into a man, a true warrior. He found the path to his dream and ran for his life.

However, this kind of Robin made Cecilia feel very lost, she felt that Robin had found something more important than herself, and she occupied less and less place in Robin's heart.

Cecilia knew that she might be selfish to think like this, and she believed that Robin would one day become the man she was all about. However, she was not ready, or rather, her girlish dream was not shattered.

As Leona said, she dreams of being a princess and Robin being the handsome prince on a white horse. However, she could not bear to watch the prince fall in the mud in order to tame the white horse, nor could she bear the back of the prince when he saw the wolf smoke in the distance, and resolutely raised his sword and straddled the horse.

Reality can never be as wonderful as it is described in fairy tales, but Cecilia cannot allow herself to forget fairy tales.

"Maybe Leona is right...... Reality is not the fairy tale book of my dreams, and Robin is not the prince of the book who was born for princesses. Cecilia stood up and stared through the glass door of the treatment room at Robin, who was still awake in the eco-tank.

At this moment, the red indicator light above the eco-tank suddenly turned green after a 'tick'. Suddenly, countless tiny bubbles appeared densely around Robin's body.

As if hallucinating, everyone seemed to be able to hear Robin's powerful heartbeat like thunder through the door of the treatment room.

"Robin!"

Seeing that Robin was about to wake up, Cecilia banged the automatic door to get inside. After glancing at Robin's anomalous body data, Cleona cautiously locked the automatic door and took out a needle from the medical kit to inject herself.

"Leona, what do you want to do?"

Leona's refusal to open the door makes Colin and Lee nervous, and Colin has even pulled out his gun and is about to break the electronic lock to break in.

"If you don't want to die, I advise you to stay away." Leona leaned her back against the automatic door and looked feverishly at the almost boiling nutrient solution in the eco-tank. She could feel Robin's imminent awakening rage, and she wanted to see if Robin would become a mindless beast with nuclear power.

"Colin, why don't you shoot?"

Outside the door, seeing that Colin did not make any further moves, Li suddenly roared anxiously.

"No, we shouldn't go in right now." Colin pointed to Leona, who was leaning back against the automatic door, and said, "Don't you see?" She's protecting us. ”

When Colin mentioned this, Li immediately realized Leona's strange behavior, and his face suddenly froze: "You mean...... Robin, who woke up, might ......"

"Perhaps...... Maybe we should really go a little further...... I had a bad premonition......"

“……”

Colin hesitated to look at Lee, and then, almost at the same time, the two people who woke up grabbed Cecilia next to him, who had not yet understood what was happening, and leaped out......

Rumble! ――
