Chapter 49: The Boy Who Guards the Lady
The development of IS is very expensive, and ordinary enterprises can only succeed by relying on the support of the state. Therefore, when France was expelled from the EU's integrated defense program "Project Ignition", the development of the third generation of IS became critical. Although the Ministry of Defense also has support, it is a bit too reluctant to allow a government that has had a serious fiscal deficit problem from the beginning to come up with a large amount of money to support it.
So the development of the third generation has been shut down.
Now, the main body of the second phase of the EU's third "Ignition Plan" is being selected. The current candidates are the British Tears, the German Region and the Lady of Oros. Although the UK is leading in terms of practicality, it is also difficult to convince the public. And it was in order to obtain specific body operation data that Xia Lulu would be sent to IS School Park.
Lavra and Cecilia should be in the same situation.
Although the company De Noa is also working on the third generation of the body. But in fact, it is just the final version of the second generation that has been delayed. And because data and time are overwhelmingly insufficient, there are still many shortcomings. This has also led to a significant reduction in government funding. If the next IS competition does not get ahead, I am afraid that even the development license of IS will be deprived.
Xia Lulu's purpose of dressing as a man is also obvious, such an eye-catching gimmick is a huge billboard in itself, and-
In Japan, there is a special situation where a male pilot appears, and it is much easier to collect data on the body that can be used to approach the other person as a boy.
"That's right! I mean, I'm stealing white-style data! I'm that kind of person! ”
Xia Lulu's gaze moved away from Yang Xi, and her tone was also a little impatient.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Now that you've found out in the summer, I'm afraid I'll be called back by the state. As for whether De Noah was bought by another company after going bankrupt, or whether it was just stealing its livelihood as it is now, for me. It doesn't matter what happens. ”
Stretching her waist, as if letting go of all the restraints, Xia Lulu's face brought a smile, different from the past, a smile from the heart.
"Ah, I feel much more relaxed after saying that, thank you for listening. Also, I've been lying to you all along, sorry. ”
"Xia Lu, do you hate your father?"
"Huh~?"
"You didn't do your duty as a father when you were a child. If he had helped take care of her, maybe your mother wouldn't have died so young. That's why I ask you, do you hate him? If you hate him, you can take him to the international tribunal as a victim, free yourself from his restraint on you, and from then on, you can live as a simple IS driver without having anything to do with De Noah. ”
"Hate? Hehe. Perhaps, but there is no need to do that, and in any case, he is my father after all. ”
After hearing Yang Xi say this. Xia Lulu had a bitter smile on her face.
"Really? Xia Lu, you are such a good girl, it is a blessing for that man to have such a good daughter as you! ”
"Blessing?"
"Actually, it's your father's side that is unilaterally using you. Just stumbled upon the adaptability of the IS is good. So I used it to use, and besides that, I'm afraid there are no other feelings, you should feel so, right? Maybe. A lot of people think so! But I have a different opinion. ”
Xia Lulu didn't speak, just looked at Yang Xi with curious eyes.
As the chairman of De Noa, he should also have a lot of hardships and unknown sides. Even if it was born to a mistress, it was his child after all, and he should know very well that you were bullied by his main room, but he didn't stop it, there were only two reasons. First, he hates you very much, or the mother who gave birth to you, so he has always ignored your mother and daughter; Second, he has no ability to protect your mother and daughter, so he can only protect you by keeping his distance from you. As you said before, your father sent someone to pick you up shortly after your mother's death, so it can be seen that he has been silently watching you. ”
"Is that so? One summer! You mean, my father he"
"Okay, don't get excited, listen to what I've to say."
"Yes, yes, you continue, continue."
"A man's inability to protect the woman he loves is undoubtedly the most painful thing. If I'm guessing correctly, Xia Lu, you and your mother should look alike, right? ”
"Hmm!"
"That's why your father's main room hates you so much, because when he sees you, he thinks of your mother. But your father doesn't have the slightest idea of what he can do about his main house, so keeping you with him will only hurt you, and separating from your mother and daughter is the wisest choice. And you, after losing the care of your mother, he had to take you back, perhaps, as a father, he is worried that you will not be able to live alone. As soon as you enter the company, you are subjected to all kinds of research, and it is not a matter of trying to give you a legitimate identity to stay in this way. Not talking to you more and contacting you more, I'm afraid it is also the result of his consultation with his main room. If you think about it, did the main chamber who hated you target you after you entered the company? ”
"Nope! Not at all! I thought she had forgotten about me! I see,So that's it.,I didn't expect my father to be him.,But,Why did he send me to IS School Park to steal your information? ”
"Xia Lu, if the crisis of De Noa Company is real, even you are so clear as a mere driver, as the chairman, he should know better. From another point of view,Maybe he chose to take the risk of taking this step because of the special regulations of the school.,But on the other hand,You who entered the IS school park temporarily disassociated from the De Noa company because of the special regulations of the school park.。 During these three years, if you think of a way, De Noa may be able to come back to life, but if it falls, don't worry that you have no way out in the future, after all, as an IS driver, you are still a very good talent, I am sure of this! ”
"You mean. Father, he sent me to the IS school park.,Actually, it's to protect me? ”
"I think he should feel that he owes you mother and daughter, so it's right to compensate you, you haven't received his help before, and now, at least I don't want you to be affected by him. Xia Lu, you just said that the purpose you sent here was to steal my data, this is the biggest suspicion! No matter how girls hide themselves, there will be a day when they will be exposed. Didn't your father think of that? If, once reported, he doesn't worry that his company will be hit harder and collapse quickly? Especially- Xia Lu, you haven't been trained as a spy at all, have you? ”
Xia Lulu was stunned for a moment, obviously being said by Yang Xi. She underwent rigorous IS training, trained to live as a boy, but not trained to be a good spy and steal information without revealing herself.
It can be seen from this that his father did not want his daughter to become a spy from beginning to end, the so-called stealing of data. It's just an excuse.
"Yixia, thank you for the reminder, I didn't expect that I misunderstood my father from beginning to end. I'll go back tomorrow! Standing up suddenly, Xia Lu ignored the leaked spring light. He bowed solemnly and thanked him.
"What are you going back for?"
"Regardless of whether my father sent me here to compensate me or not, I will stay with him in his most difficult time and fulfill my obligation as a daughter!"
"Do your sister's duty! Sit down honestly! ”
Putting his coat on Xia Lulu's body, Yang Xi flicked his fingers on her forehead.
"Oops~"
"It's good to know it hurts. It doesn't seem to be overly enthusiastic. I'm telling you this just to clear up your misunderstanding, even if you go back, can you help your father? Instead, stay in the IS school park.。 And keep your dad going! Now, Xia Lu, give me your data cable. ”
"What are you going to do, Ichusei?"
Although it was a little inexplicable, Xia Lu, who had a good personality, still asked suspiciously, and at the same time unfolded her IS part and took out the data connection cable.
"What? Isn't your task to get my information for research? It's up to you! Anyway, this information is not something that needs to be kept secret. ”
"One, one summer, you don't have to do it at all"
"How can I stand by and watch my friend in trouble? Didn't you help Lavra when she attacked me? Let me repay your favor. ”
"But, but"
"No, but! Xia Lu, it's easy for a character like you to suffer. You know, rejecting someone's kindness is actually an act of offending people. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it. Thank you, Yixia. ”
"Don't say too much thanks, stupid!"
As the data of Bai Shi, including the information of "Snow Flake Type II" and "Scattered White Night", were transmitted to her special machine, Xia Lulu's eyes became moist, and she knew that the young man in front of her really wanted to help her. She didn't know what to say, the words of thanks came to her mouth, and she forcibly held back after remembering Yang Xi's impatient appearance.
As he said, there are so many words of thanks, and there is no need to say too much. Even so, she kept thanking in her heart.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know my father's true intentions; If it weren't for you, my father's company might not last long before it collapsed; If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that there are other people in this world who care about me
It's good to be alive!
The transfer of data is completed in less than ten minutes. After getting the information of the white style, Xia Lulu hesitated.
"Yixia, are you suspected of treason by doing this? If someone else finds out"
"Don't worry, I'm not a candidate for Japan's deputy, and my IS is not provided to me by the Japanese government, so no matter what I do, it has nothing to do with the Japanese government, let alone any treason."
Yang Xi waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he didn't care at all. He never thought of himself as Japanese.
"How so? If the white style was not researched by the Japanese government, then"
How could it be in your hands, Xia Lulu didn't say this, but her expression had already told Yang Xi.
"Xia Lu, do you know why the White Style has the 'Snowflake Type II' as a weapon?"
Xia Lulu shook her head, "I don't know, is it because your sister is Teacher Oriban?" But that's not right, the characteristics of IS are different for everyone. It doesn't happen because of blood relationship."
"One thing you said is wrong, I am not related to Sister Qiandong, I just picked it up when she was nine years old."
"Uh~ I'm sorry."
"Hehe, what is there to apologize for, I'm quite happy to live with Sister Qiandong. Do you know Shino's Bundle? The genius scientist who developed IS, she is also my sister, in fact, when I was a child, she tested my body and knew my data very well. And the core of the white style is actually the core of the world's first IS 'White Knight' that Sister Qiandong once drove. ”
"White Knight? Is that the white knight of the world-famous 'White Knight Incident'?! Unexpectedly, the Valkyrie who disappeared with the sunset was actually Teacher Oriban. It's amazing! But in this way, only Mr. Weaving has that strength. ”
"Yes, but don't tell the secret. The Japanese pronunciation of the white style is [Byakushiki], while the Japanese pronunciation of the white knight is [Shilokushiki], and if the other Japanese pronunciation of the white style is [Shilokushiki], that is, the Japanese pronunciation is the same as that of the white knight. The organism, once known as the White Knight, which contributed greatly to the advancement of the first generation, has been dismantled, and only the core remains. The kernel was missing after an attack on a research institute. ”
"Whereabouts unknown, that's"
"Sister Shu is a ghost. If what I expected was right, the white style should be made by Sister Shu. Originally, the Japanese IS company made adjustments to the production of the dialogue style, but it was abandoned because it could not be started, but now it is in my hands under the name of the Japanese government. Don't you understand? ”
"I see, making the impossible possible, and only the genius scientist of Shinonoshu can do it. And the Japanese government will not have a reason to recycle the white style, but rather. It is also necessary to cooperate with Dr. Shinozhi's admission that the white style was developed by them. ”
Without the psychological burden, after hearing these insiders exposed by Yang Xi, Xia Lulu laughed happily.
"And that's not all. The Snowflake II is still using the fourth-generation technology, that is to say, Sister Shu is developing the fourth-generation IS, and it seems that it won't be long before all the technologies are used in the fourth-generation IS. ”
"Fourth generation?! Now countries around the world are still experimenting with the third generation, but I didn't expect Dr. Shinozhizhi to have developed the fourth generation.
"That's why she's a genius, genius Sister Shu."
Knock knock!
At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door sounded, which startled Xia Lulu, and she realized that she had been talking to Yang Xi almost naked, so she hurriedly got into the quilt.
"Yixia, is it not there? It looks like you didn't go to dinner, isn't it uncomfortable? ”
Hearing that no one was reacting, Cecilia couldn't wait to open the door and walk in, "Yixia? I'm in, huh? ”
"What should I do?"
"All in all, hide first!"
Yang Xi and Xia Lulu exchanged opinions in a whisper, although they were very close, but it was no longer the time to care about this kind of thing.
"I know, hide first"
"Hey! Don't hide in the cupboard, bed! In bed! Cover with a quilt. ”
"Ah, yes, that's right."
There was a click, and the sound of the door opening.
"Yo, Cecilia! What's wrong? What's the point? ”
"What's going on?"
In the eyes of the person who opened the door, Xia Lulu, who jumped into bed with an action that can only appear in painting, and Yang Xi, who was hurriedly covering her with a quilt on the side, must be a strange scene when combined. And the best proof of this is Cecilia's stunned expression now.
"No, nothing. Xia Lu occasionally had a cold wind, and it was faster to cover the quilt, and that's it. ”
"Is this the 'quilt covering' treatment used by the legendary Japanese patients?"
I'm afraid not, but it's supposed to be common all over the world. Forget it, there's no need to argue!
"Xia Lu doesn't feel very good, so she needs to rest early, so let's forget about dinner or something. I'll be alone with him. ”
"yes, yes."
Xia Lulu's voice came from the quilt, and in order to match Yang Xi, she deliberately used a hoarse tone.
"Ahem."
Hey, it's a bit too much. Is it useful or not?
"Ah, that's right. That's fine, it just so happened that I didn't have dinner either. Why don't we go together? What a wonderful accident. ”
I don't know if I was deceived, but Cecilia's interest suddenly shifted to eating together.
"Go, go, go, let's go."
"Oh, oh."
"De Noah, take a good rest. One summer, walked away. ”
The arm was hugged, and Cecilia dragged Yang Xi away with an almost tough attitude.
"How, how, what's going on!!"
Just came to the hallway. The other person who came over with lightning speed and stealing the bell knew who it was without guessing.
"Oh, yes, we're going to eat together."
"Are you at the point where you can walk together holding hands!?"
"Isn't it natural for a man to use this posture as a lady's bodyguard?"
"Yixia, you girl, I waited for you in the cafeteria for a long time and didn't see anyone, what's the matter?"
"This"
Yang Xi hesitated, whether to tell Xia Lulu's matter. But the two girls apparently didn't care about that kind of thing at all.
"Anyway, we're going to dinner now. Farewell! ”
"Stop! In that case, I'm going to go too. It just so happened that I didn't have enough to eat at night. ”
"Oh yes, eating four fat meals a day is very fast."
"Hmph, that doesn't make sense. I'm just trying to replenish the calories burned by over-exercising. And I just sent this from home, and I'm going to practice Juhe slashing in a while. So no problem at all! ”
As he spoke, it lit up - damn me. It's too much of a sword. Although it is still in the sheath, it is a famous sword that has been handed down from the Edo period.
- That is, real guys.
"It's called Scarlet Night. It is the work of the famous craftsman Ming Dongyang in his later years. ”
Famous craftsmen are bright and moving. His wife was a female swordsman, and she gave up everything to forge a sword and moved to live in Hida Mountain. There, he concentrated on forging "the sword used by women".
"Enabling women to overcome men" is like overcoming rigidity with softness. And take this as his lifelong goal of forging a sword.
In the end, Ming Dongyang realized two points.
One of them, "Don't dodge too much, and release a killer flash when the enemy's sword and halberd rub your body." ”
Second, "the knife must be completed in the blink of an eye before the other party, and it will be killed." ”
The style of the knife is made in reference to the latter concept - not only is the blade slenderer than a regular Japanese sword, but the scabbard is also longer than usual. However, it stands to reason that a knife that is shorter should be drawn faster than the time it takes to draw the knife. It is true, but the experience is mainly about the sliding of the knife in the sheath and the movement of the body, as well as the momentum of the step and slash, rather than simply the time when the knife is drawn. It is not an absolute speed to win, but an illusion of time and distance judged by the senses.
But it's so good in a country with a legal system.,A high school student runs around with a knife.,It's not good.,It's not good.,This is the same as the IS school park, which is legally and internationally recognized as "not belonging to the territory of any country.。 ”
"Then, let's go."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhizhi also held Yang Xi's other arm as if he was angry.
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't it natural for a man to use this posture as a lady's bodyguard?!" Repeat what Cecilia had said before.
I said, isn't it just to go to the cafeteria for a meal, is it necessary?!
In short, Cecilia is holding her left arm and her right arm is being held by the hoop. The three of them ran rampant in the corridor, almost occupying all the space. Hey, everybody's watching.
"Holy, oh my God!"
"Hug the left and hug the right"
"It's too cunning to rely on the identity of a childhood sweetheart."
"It's too cunning to be the pilot of a special plane."
There were whispers of envy and jealousy from girls everywhere, as if to cheer them on for the two of them, and Cecilia and Shinonoyuki's arms became tighter!
"I said"
"What?"
"What's wrong?"
"Can you relax a little? Walking is a little difficult. ”
"In this situation, there are still people who dare to complain!"
"Are you an inferior dog who doesn't even realize how happy you are?"
"Hey~ Forget it, forget it, anyway, let's go eat first."
As if being set up by two girls, Yang Xi walked into the cafeteria with empty steps (to be continued......
