Chapter 42: The Expected and the Unexpected

Someone used to say that if the world loses its light, it must not be the fault of darkness, but that people have obscured the light of eons of billions of years ago and are willing to fall into the abyss. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Many of a person's mistakes are not caused by others, but by oneself taking the wrong step.

Why not think ahead of time about the situation of failure? Why not anticipate mistakes? Why not take into account different situations as much as possible?

Passing the blame is the most stupid thing to do, and the gods will certainly never bless such a person, and taking the blame is the first step to self-reflection.

――――

At this moment, Yahui, who didn't take into account so many unexpected circumstances, was in a desperate situation.

When he woke up from his slumber, he found that there was a dimly lit space in front of him, and most of the world seemed to be covered with black paint, and he wondered if there were any other dangerous creatures in the room.

At present, the only source of light is the light leaking through the gap in the door, and even if you want to observe the surrounding situation, it is not clear because of the darkness.

However, the human eye is still very adaptable, just as it is easy to hit a baseball when you are used to wielding a bat. After a while, Ahui began to see vague outlines all over the room.

According to the first impression, this room is not big, at most about 20 square meters, like a small warehouse, but there is nothing piled up in it.

If it's an enemy's room, someone must be watching, and the hunter is not stupid enough to let his prey out of his sight; This was the case with the ancient knights, whose spears and horses' hooves were always aimed at their enemies.

But there are really no people who can move freely in the room, could it be that those guys are negligent?

In any case, Yahui already knew that there were no other living creatures on the front, sides, and corners, which made him feel a lot more relieved, after all, his hands couldn't break free from the restraints now, and he couldn't go anywhere.

The thing that tied himself was an iron object, and Yahui had never learned the clavicle skill, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape from here.

As Yahui tried to twist her body, she felt the temperature coming from behind her.

Is it Ariel? Yahui, who was about to speak, did not get the consent of the tape on his mouth, and could only make a 'whine' sound that was close to that of an animal.

"Woooooooooo......oo Whining......!!! ”

Even if she couldn't speak, Yahui tried her best to wake up Ariel, who was mostly still asleep, and if it was her, there might be a way to escape.

Yahui, who was urging Ariel to leave the dream, also began to recall the situation she had encountered before she passed out in a coma, and the memories that had turned into fragments in her mind slowly put together with the passage of time.

Ahui remembers being captured by a ship with Ariel, and then the enemies recovering the two of them while dropping unconscious gas on the way, causing both of them to lose some of their memories.

This must be a strange place, and I don't know what to do with those nameless guys, so we need to find a way to escape from here immediately.

"Woo woo woo -- !!!"

Ah Hui tore at her throat and used a muffled grunt as an alarm clock to wake Ariel, and it didn't take long for the sometimes calm, sometimes furious, blonde girl to move.

"Hmm...... Well......?! ”

Ariel, who woke up, also found that the current situation was terrible, and if she didn't find a way, she would probably be killed.

Yahui and Ariel may still have a role for now, but it doesn't mean that they will also play an role for the enemy in the future.

In many cases, the value of an individual is not determined by oneself, but by others, and when a person cannot meet the interests of others, he or she will be disposed of as a 'useless thing'.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woo ~ woo ......! Whining............! ”

"Uh-huh...... Well?! ”

Ahui wanted to use Morse code to talk to Ariel, but she didn't seem to understand such an ancient method of communication.

Just now, Yahui meant '...・・・・・', which is the abbreviation of 'Sorry' in Morse code, 'SRI', but of course there was no response.

The Morse code of the cosmic language Yahui was not clear, he only knew that it was no longer possible to communicate with the code.

Click...... Boom!!

Suddenly, Yahui felt her body move, and it turned out to be the sound of Ariel's falling to the ground after getting up. She was struggling to move her body, trying to lift the pillar between the two men.

Is it possible? Yahui thinks that most of the two of them are currently in a wooden hut, and it is unrealistic to easily lift the pillars anyway, unless it is Otilia.

Ariel's continued efforts could not change the situation, and the pillar only shook a few degrees, and after some dust was sprinkled, there was no extra movement.

"Humph..............."

Ariel let out a 'long breath' through her nose and made a lovely sound.

Wrong! Now is not the time to think about that! You'll have to think about other means of escape!!

Yahui didn't know the exact structure of the room, and he didn't know what was placed here, but if he could, he wanted to try to get something with his feet.

Even if you can't do it with your hands, you can do something with your feet.

Yahui, swinging his right foot, suddenly touched something hard, and just kicked it down with a single force.

With a bang, Yahui hurriedly clamped it with his feet.

It's a bottle, an empty bottle.

"Woo woo woo !!"

Yahui reminded Ariel behind her, who had already heard the sound, turned her head, but from her point of view, there was nothing.

The two of them couldn't communicate effectively, and Yahui moved his hands for this, and he motioned for Ariel to stand up with him.

The chains that bind them were not tightly bound to the pillars, and the loose chains could be pulled upwards as soon as the two stood up together.

Yahui planned to smash the bottle with his feet, and then pick up the pieces under his feet and with his hands, of course, the purpose was not to cut the chain, but to use it as a self-defense prop.

He didn't know if the weapon that Ariel had hidden on his body had been confiscated, so even if it was something like a piece of glass, he still had to use it.

Just as the two of them were about to stand up, the action was interrupted by the sound of an engine outside the door.

Someone's coming!! I don't know who Yahui looked at the door, and his nervousness became higher and higher under the approach of footsteps outside the door.

Yahui felt that Ariel was clenching her fists hard, and she was also a little nervous.

Bang! The door was rudely pushed open, and a man walked briskly into the room.

――――

"Holy God! I'm exhausted! I've been working overtime lately! And the worst part is that there is no overtime pay! Look at this world, real punishments, severe punishments, permanent punishments always fall on those who should not be punished! Oooh! I seem to have said something very powerful! ”

The man who came in talked endlessly, because Yahui and he were in a relationship between the sun and the backlight, so he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came.

In the face of this person, Yahui felt a sense of security, and always felt that the voice had been heard somewhere.

"Hello?! What's wrong with you? Could it be that the effect of hypnotic gas has not completely dissipated, and the nervous system is still very sluggish? ”

"Woo woo woo ............"

"I'll help you tear the tape apart."

The man placed the paper bag he was holding in his left hand on the table near the door.

"Whew!! What's going on!? Why is Big Brother Bebo here? Could it be that Bishop Ito is here too?! ”

Yahui, whose mouth and footsteps were torn apart, suddenly came to his senses, and the man standing in front of him was the priest who liked to beat the enemy with a bat in his hand, Beibo.

Seeing the appearance of the young man, Yahui could clearly recall his previous adventures on the planet [BP-63], when he was almost killed.

Without waiting for Father Bebo to answer, Yahui, who moved his head, continued

"Remove the tape from Ariel's mouth and the chains from our hands! We don't mean to be hostile to the Galactic Monastery! I don't dare! ”

"Shut up little brother Yahui, even if you are not hostile, the girl behind you is different."

"Ariel, she...... Believe me, Father Bebo, Ariel is not hostile, she is not our enemy. ”

"Personally, I believe in this guy of yours, but I still have to reject your request, Bishop Ito has instructed that you must not let that girl go."

Father Bebo made his position clear, very resolutely.

So Ahui was released, and Ariel was just stripped of the tape. This is also the credit of Yahui, she was originally going to be injected with sleep drugs.

"This is the breakfast I bought, you must be hungry and tired since you slept last night. Originally, I was going to let you go immediately, but I gave up at the thought of the possibility that you might mess up. ”

"I didn't expect it...... It turned out that it was Father Bebo last night. ”

The paper bag that Bebo brought back contained bread, sandwiches, and hot dogs, and the drinks were milk, as well as processed instant bento boxes, and there were so many types that it was obvious that he was a foodie.

Yahui, who picked up the bento, had no intention of eating it alone, and due to the fact that Ariel's hands could not be used, Yahui decided to feed her.

Father Bebo, who was standing by the door, took a large piece of bread out of the paper bag and began to eat it with milk.

"The milk tastes good, by the way, if you let her go, I'll kill you."

"Cai, it won't be ......"

"That's good."

Bei Bo didn't keep an eye on Yahui's every move, and focused his attention on breakfast.

Seeing that Bei Bo did not continue to monitor him, Yahui breathed a sigh of relief and opened the instant hot bento. With the hot air gushing out, a smell of meat also spreads, and it is a braised pork bento.

Because she was unreasonably 'attacked' by Bebo and others before, Ariel didn't give Father Bebo a good look, but was very well-behaved in eating.

Yahui fed Ariel, who was chewing the meat and rice, moved her mouth 'whirring', looking too hot.

"I'm sorry, I thought Father Bebo was almost cold when I took it, but I didn't expect it to be so hot."

"You should see it when you open it."

"It's a little hard to concentrate......"

"Next bite!"

Ariel ignored Yahui's self-talk, and opened her mouth to ask Yahui to feed her again.

While taking care of Ariel for dinner, Yahui asked Father Bebo at the door.

"Big Brother Bebo, apart from you and Bishop Ito, is there anyone else who knows that we are here?"

"Of course, there were seven of us when we sailed the ship to rescue you that day, and the other five still had work to do; Rest assured, the monks and priests will not say anything, as long as the orders given to them by Bishop Ito have not been revoked. ”

"Bishop Ito...... Isn't he quite angry? ”

"Oh, you dare to ask me! The reason we went to you wasn't just to worry about you; The general currency is 300 million yuan, do you know what it means? ”

"I don't know."

Yahui shook her head and continued to feed Ariel.

"Alas......"

With a heavy sigh, Father Bebo ate the bread in his mouth with the milk, and tapped him on the chest before he recovered.

"The common currency is 300 million yuan, which is the total value of the goods in one of the containers in the port of St. Ma, and all of them have been burned at the moment."

“――――!!!”

Hearing the answer, Ahui's eyes widened, and she almost sent the spoon to Ariel's nose.

"Hey!!"

"Oooh! Accidentally! ”

Ariel, who was very dissatisfied, roared, and Yahui immediately adjusted her state.

Father Bebo, who saw the two of them communicating, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was on Ariel from time to time, trying to find some information from her.

Before Bei Bo came to a conclusion, Yahui said in a slightly trembling accent

"Does that mean that if I am caught, the Galactic Monastery will not only lose face, but also pay a huge amount of compensation?"

"That's right, no matter how strong the Galaxy Monastery is, it won't be stupid to lose money. Fortunately, most of those goods are our opponents' goods~"

Father Bebo, who blinked his left eye, said with a smile, which matched his unruly personality.

Jingle bells! Jingle Bell!!

The ancient bell rang, and Father Bebo quickly pulled the terminal out of his arms, and a hand slipped and almost fell to the ground.

"Whew, it's dangerous! Let me see, this is a message from Bishop Ito, telling us to move our positions and meet at the location given above. ”

Father Bebo showed the terminal to Ahui.

"I have to say that you are lucky enough, little brother Yahui, you may not feel it, Bishop Ito is generally very busy, so cherish the next opportunity."

The priest in front of him, who was like Yahui's brother, said that he became serious, and Yahui never suspected that he would deliberately harm himself, and the most important thing was that Yahui was currently making this choice.

"Yes, I see."

"Momentum! Be louder! Because that's your only chance to get a little forgiveness with the little girl over there! ”

"I see!!!!!!"

Take the opportunity you can!

"Don't feed me food!"

"Yes Ariel! I understand!!! ”

Anyway, now there is only one option, go with the flow.
