Chapter 14: The Plains of the North
After listening to what Ryan said, Noi glanced at Mei Saki beside her and found that she was also looking at Ryan with puzzled eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Ryan didn't face up to Misaki and twisted his head, as if he had no intention of telling Misaki the truth.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward for a while, Noi intended to break the deadlock, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Don't worry, senior, I won't participate. β
Unexpectedly, it was Yasaki's open-mindedness that broke the deadlock, making Ryan and Noi stunned.
"If nothing else, I'll go first, and there will be some other things to do in the afternoon. Meisaki got up and smiled at Ryan and Noi.
"Don't worry, it's rare to come here, let's go back after eating. "Noi is interested in keeping Misaki.
However, Meisaki shook her head, and after finally saying goodbye to Ryan and Noi, she left.
Looking at the back of Yasaki in the distance, Noi pursed his lips and complained to Ryan angrily, "You really don't know how to observe the atmosphere, and this kind of thing won't be left until after eating." β
In the face of Noi's reprimand, Ryan didn't refute, just looked at Yasaki's back blankly, and said to himself, "I just don't want to see her get hurt." β
In fact, as Yasaki said to Veria in the classroom just now, she has no interest in the attendance group compared to others, but for Yasaki, who wants to inherit her profession as a teacher, becoming an excellent doctor is her constant goal, maybe it's a bit far-fetched to say this, but like Noi recommended Gretel, it was Gretel's ability that was recognized by the student union, but on the contrary, she was rejected by Ryan, and she was simply worried about whether she didn't have outstanding ability.
"You're here, I can't find you anywhere. β
A sudden sound interrupted Misaki's thoughts, and she looked for the sound and found that it was Gretel.
Glitter hugged Desaki's favorite Trenya bread and ran to Desaki sweating profusely.
"I went to look for you in the classroom, and I found that everyone was gone, and I was afraid that you hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I brought you a little. Glitter said to Misaki.
In the gazebo of the college's small garden, Misaki and Gretel were eating lunch and enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.
Gretel may have something to say to Misaki, and with a casual glance, he found that Misaki on the side had a bitter face as if he was thinking about something.
"Did something happen?" asked Gretel, concerned.
Misaki shook her head and replied lonely, "I miss my sister." β
Hearing Sprout Misaki say this, Gretel felt very uncomfortable, apparently after the death of the teacher Asasa, Sprouts became Sproutsaki's only relative in this world, Sprouts and Sproutsaki's mother died when the two were very young, although Sprouts and Sprouts are twins, but perhaps there is such a reason since childhood, Sprouts is very sensible, mature, and plays a role in life like a "mother" The mature image of the general sister, although Glitter and Misaki grew up together and talked to each other about everything, but many times, he clearly knew that he could not replace the sprouts.
Thinking of this, Glitter gritted his teeth viciously, recalling that back then, maybe if he insisted on looking for sprouts, he would not be in the situation he is in today. After rescuing Sprouts from the Holy City, everyone thought that Sprouts had died during the original purge, thinking of this, Gretel began to work for his father Elishu, and without thoroughly figuring out whether Sprouts was really alive, he rashly told Sprouts about it, looking forward to it was a very painful insistence, and Gretel couldn't bear to see Sprouts in pain anymore.
"Don't worry, I'll continue to secretly investigate the news of Sprouts, and as long as Sprouts is alive, we'll definitely meet again one day. Gretel comforted Misaki.
"Hmm. Sprout Sar nodded, and a smile appeared on her face again, because she herself firmly believed that Sprouts must still be alive, and looked up at the blue sky: Sister, I believe that you must still be alive, definitely, we will definitely meet again one day!
On the border north of the Empire, where the "Northern Plains" incident took place, two officers in armor walked here, both of them seemed to be about the same age, both about twenty years old, but the other officer wore a mask on his face and could not see his appearance, and they were not wearing the armor of the Imperial army, in short, these two people revealed a difference from the entire Empire.
After the "rebellion case" that shook the entire empire, this place became a ruin, because it happened on the border line, after the execution of all the personnel of the First Corps, Cassifer the Great did not think about restoring the original appearance of this place, so ten years later, walking here again, looking at the desolation in front of him, I can still clearly feel the bloodshed and cruelty of the great war that year.
"Really, it's been ten years, and I can still clearly feel the resentment when I walk here again. One of the young officers sighed as he looked at the desolation in front of him.
However, the other masked officer walked a few steps, looking at the desolation in front of him, as if thinking about something, for a long time, through his mask, two tears could not stop sliding down.
"Really. The officer behind him walked a few steps, came to him, handed him a handkerchief, and complained helplessly: "You came by yourself, and you secretly ran out on your back, if you react like this, I will feel very cruel." β
In the face of the young officer's good-natured ridicule, the masked officer's mood improved greatly.
"Then let's start quickly, although it has been so long, I don't know if it is possible to find it successfully, but no matter what, I will be by your side. The young officer smiled at the masked officer, a sunny smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young officer began to devote himself to the search work, while the masked officer stared blankly at the former battlefield in front of him, closed his eyes, and seemed to feel something.
The two of them were looking for something.
"Come and have a look. The young officer seemed to notice something and motioned for the masked officer to come over.
The masked officer walked through a grove of trees and found the young officer standing in front of a cemetery.
This cemetery is not large, and it is built in this wood, so it is difficult to find outside.
"How come there is no inscription on the tombstone. The young officer said with some curiosity.
"Because we can't pay tribute to them publicly. β
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the two, and the two looked back and found that it was an old man with white hair.
The two glanced at each other, and the young officer greeted him and asked the old man, "Do you know this cemetery?"
The old man smiled slightly, stretched out one hand, and used the probe stick in his hand to bypass the young officer, came to the tombstone, and placed the bouquet prepared in the other hand in front of the tombstone.
"Are you soldiers, and which corps do you belong to?" the old man stood up and asked the two behind him alertly.
The young officer smiled innocently and asked, "If we told you that we are the First Corps, would you believe it?"
"Haha. β
Unexpectedly, after the young officer finished speaking, the old man burst out laughing.
"What two interesting young men. The old man said, walked to the open space, and sat down on the spot.
"Well, judging from the fact that you can say that you are the First Corps, at least you are not a bad person, after all, after the "Northern Plains" incident, except for the people in the army, no one wants to have anything to do with the First Corps anymore. After the old man finished speaking, he sighed lonely.
"Here it is...... Could it be ......" The young officer seemed to have guessed something.
The old man nodded and said, " This is the cemetery of all the soldiers of the First Corps, although all of us people do not believe that the First Corps will rebel that year, but it is still impossible to save the lives of these soldiers, and the empire later issued a decree to erase the history of the First Corps, but there are still many people who appreciate the bravery of the First Corps and their love for the country, after the North Plains incident, everyone secretly built a cemetery here for the First Corps, and I also stayed, serving as the mausoleum guard for the First Corps, but unfortunately, the remains of Lieutenant General Asa were transported back to the Holy City, and we were unable to erect a tombstone for this heroγ When the old man finished speaking, he shed tears.
After listening to the old man's story, the young officer looked at the masked officer behind him and found that he was also in tears.
"You're not here just to feel nostalgic. The old man seemed to be a little distrustful of the two.
Just as the young officer didn't know what to explain, the masked officer walked up to the old man and crouched down.
At the moment when the masked officer walked in front of him, a trace of breath emanating from him made the old man stunned for a moment, as if he felt something, and then cried and laughed.
"Thank you to the Goddess of Mercy, thank you to the Goddess of Mercy......" The old man knelt down and kept bowing to the Goddess in thanks.
The old man stood up, and from the smile on his lips, it was clear that the hostility towards the two of them was gone.
"Come with me. The old man gathered his things, stood up and took his probe stick, and prepared to leave.
"Where to go?" the young officer still didn't understand what was going on.
But the masked officer did not hesitate, got up and followed, the young officer stretched out his hand to block it, and seeing that he couldn't stop it, he sighed helplessly and followed.
Follow the old man all the way to a small thatched hut next to the cemetery, and after entering the house, the old man entered the back room, leaving two people.
In a moment, the old man walked out with something in his hand.
"I've always believed that one day someone will come and take away General Asasa's relics, and today I can finally hand it over to you, General Asasa's sword back then, Sakura Twin Moons. β
When the masked officer saw a saber in the old man's hand, he could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, took a few steps forward, took the saber in the old man's hand, danced a sword flower, put the saber close to his cheek, and tears flowed down the sword body uncontrollably.
"The hard work paid off, and it seems that I have finally found it. When the young officer saw the sword, he also looked excited.
Looking at the saber in his hand, the masked officer could not hide the joy in his heart for a long time.
"Father. β
