Chapter Seventy-One: Goals
Looking at the little ones in front of him who were stunned and overwhelmed by hearing his words, Estes chuckled and continued to speak unhurriedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Then I'll tell you what I know."
"[Truth Astronomical] This warband, you came before me, you should also know his purpose."
"In the name of the stars and wisdom, we seek only eternal truth!"
"What then, is the eternal truth?" Without waiting for Aino's answer, Estes continued his own talk. "Although everyone has a different answer, but for me Estes, the law of the jungle is the eternal truth, so my goal is to become stronger, stronger, and stronger than everyone else!"
"Well, I almost digressed."
Glancing at the three people who were silent because of their words, Estes did not have a look of embarrassment on his face because of the digression, and continued calmly.
"Although it is difficult for the people of this space to influence the world that we are going to carry out the mission, it is not impossible to influence."
"[Astronomy of Truth] has decided to use an item in next month's mission to merge the tasks of people belonging to [Astronomy of Truth] and put them into the same world."
"In the annual rookie competition, only the winner gets a reward, and of course there are safeguards to protect the life of the loser. So this can be called the welfare of the warband, no one is in any danger to carry out combat training, you can also get valuable prizes if you win, and you can also get valuable experience if you fail. ”
"After all, it's just a game, not a fight."
Speaking of this, Estes showed an unhappy look on his face, and there was also a look of envy in his eyes when he looked at Aino.
"Only those who have completed three missions in a row can participate if they volunteer."
Apparently such conditions. For Estes, a guy who has just entered the space, this is a horizontal ditch that there is no way to cross, and not being able to participate in such a casual battle makes Estes very unhappy, after all, this kind of game that can be fought openly is what Estes likes.
And the few guys in front of him have been pressed and beaten by themselves in the front battlefield in the previous world, but now they can participate in this competition that they are extremely eager to participate in, and for a while, Estes has no intention of continuing to chat.
"The prize is a rune, but participation is not mandatory, and registration is voluntary."
After the explanation, there was a silent atmosphere in the dining room for a while, on one side were the three people who were in thought, and on the other hand, Estes was very unhappy.
After a while, Estes took the initiative to break the silence, got up and picked up the coat hanging on the chair behind him, and walked out without saying a word.
When he passed by the black pupil, he leaned down slightly, put his red lips on the black pupil's ear and squirmed lightly a few times, and didn't care about the surprised Aino next to him and the red pupil who leaned over, and left quickly, leaving only a dashing back.
---------------------------
After leaving the hotel, the three of them returned to the space in silence, apparently considering the information given by Estes.
"Aino, I think it's better to participate." The red pupil, who had become silent since coming to the space, broke the direct silence of the three of them, and looked at the hesitant and struggling Aino in front of him, and the red pupil saw the so-called struggle and hesitation in his heart at a glance.
Aino probably guessed what Red Hitomi was about to say, but he didn't interrupt her without saying anything, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.
Although seeing Aino's expression, he probably knew that he had guessed his thoughts, but Red Hitomi continued to speak.
"Aino, according to your words, although there is no mandatory task in the future. But if we meet someone like General Estes, we can't give our lives to the mercy of the other side, after all, we can't meet everyone who treats us with kindness. ”
On the other side, the black pupil, who had been calm after seeing Estes, raised his head at this time, looked at Aino and took the red pupil's words.
"My sister is right, we can't give our lives to other people's charity, moreover, this is an opportunity to enhance our strength, if we win, we can get that rune, and if we lose, we can also increase our combat experience, and be familiar with the mode of fighting in the space, that is to say, if we participate in this so-called competition, no matter what, it will be beneficial to us."
Should it be said that they are worthy of two sisters, there was no communication at all before, but now they can unite to persuade Aino. Hearing the words of the black pupil and the red pupil, Aino thought quietly for a while, and after considering the gains and losses, he still couldn't make up his mind, and said hesitantly.
"You're right, but isn't it dangerous to say that...
Reason is telling Aino that he should move forward bravely and speed up his pace, and he can't indulge in gentleness, but emotionally he can't accept letting his favorite red pupils and black pupils accompany him to fight for the danger of his life, and carry out a battle that never ends with no end in sight.
Thinking of this, a trace of regret flashed through his mind, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching slightly.
[Shouldn't the Red Pupil Sisters be brought into this world full of dangers? If they were in a world where the empire had been overthrown, wouldn't they have been happier and quieter by now? 】
"No, we are happy with Aino, the most important thing in a family is to be neat and tidy, and nothing else matters. If I were separated from Aino or Hitomi, I would have wanted to die in agony, I can't imagine a world without you and Hitomi! So Aino, please don't have this idea in the future! ”
A trace of regret flashed imperceptibly in Aino's eyes, and he was easily caught by Red Hitomi. stepped forward and gently held one of Aino's hands, looked at each other's eyes face to face, and said solemnly to Aino with red pupils.
"If you're worried about me and Hitomi, then don't worry. Before we met you, the two of us stood out from the thousands and survived, then underwent brutal training and countless battles to survive to meet you. I know you like us and don't want us to be in danger, but if you crave the taste of happiness, then happiness will not last long. If we don't move forward here, if we meet more powerful and evil people, won't we be able to maintain our happiness? So in order for us to be together all the time, shouldn't we work harder to become stronger? ”
"My sister is right, it's not time for us to hold happiness and stop moving forward! And if we choose to give up this time, we have no choice but to give up the next monthly task! ”
The black pupil on one side nodded, and also stepped forward to hold Aino's other hand, also looking at the boy in front of him with gentle eyes. Like her sister, Black Hitomi doesn't want Ano to stagnate because of herself and Red Hitomi, and she doesn't want Ano to throw away happiness because she is greedy for her current happiness.
"And the Aino I know, the Aino I like, won't slow down and stop moving forward because of something like this."
Faced with the persuasion of the Red Pupil sisters, Aino weighed the pros and cons and finally made up his mind to participate.
The previous hesitation was just because I liked it too much and was afraid, afraid that this hard-won happiness would disappear, afraid that this happiness would just disappear at any time, afraid of losing the person I liked and the person who liked me, greedy for this hard-won happiness.
If you don't participate, you won't be able to get stronger = the next mission will not be as good as others, and the danger will increase = you may fail and you may die
Such an equation comes to mind
-- Nothing like this can happen!
The equation in his mind made Aino make up his mind, the warmth from the palm of his hand ignited the fighting spirit in his heart, and his eyes seemed to be burning like a raging fire, staring at the two girls he liked in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint the figures of the two girls in front of him into his heart. "You are right, if you don't stay strong and don't move forward, you can't last like this. In order to protect such days, we have to become stronger, we can only become stronger, become stronger than everyone else, become others who don't even have the courage to fight as long as they see us, and can only choose to run away or die when they see us! Keep winning, as long as you win, as long as you keep winning. ”
