"Yo, hello. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The hearty and gentle voice came from the mouth of a man in front of him who was supposed to be his own age, but because his skin was too well maintained and his temperament was too restrained, he couldn't read his exact age.

He's greeting me.

Nodding symbolically, it shouldn't have shown much disdain. People who don't seem to have experienced any cruelty like this are the type I hate the most, and when I think about the leadership of this kind of person in the future, I feel a sense of resentment, can he really lead us to do something? You know, I'm ......

"Would you like an apple?"

The hands behind his back suddenly stretched out one of them, and his smooth and white hands still grasped an unknown fruit. It doesn't seem good to just hand it over and not take it, but is it something else that is so kind all of a sudden? Also, what is this fruit? Isn't it poisonous if it's so red?

"Don't you like to eat?"

"I didn't ...... No. ”

"Then eat, it's delicious. ”

It's too close! Even if you hand over something, why do you lean your whole face over? How can you get so close when you meet for the first time! Don't you know that you should keep a minimum distance between people?

Damn, thanks to him, the mood is ...... Hmm, it tastes good?

Because I was so annoyed, I subconsciously wanted to find something else to do, so I bit it. It's a delicious thing indeed...... Wait, why are you still so close to me?

"Hmm......"

“......”

"Hmm......"

“......”

"Hmm......"

"Team...... Long?"

I really can't bear to be stared at for a long time with such pure and immaculate eyes, and if I continue like this, I feel like I'm about to melt, so I have to call it like this.

Unexpectedly, his reaction was like waking up from a big dream.

"Are you alright?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted. ”

"Look at me?"

"Haha, don't get me wrong, because you look very happy. ”

- Am I happy because I ate this fruit?

I was stunned by his words, and I couldn't understand what he meant.

――I look so happy, so you're going to look at me with such serious eyes that they look hollow at first glance for so long?

"I've always had a dream, but it's so far away from me, and I want everyone to be happy. ”

- So, what's the point of telling me now, this kind of child's daydreaming?

"But it's really too far away...... It's as if the strife in this world will never die, and sometimes I even think, how about just destroying this world and creating another one?"

"Hah, do you want to deny the world created by the true God?!"

The crazy words made me unable to control my emotions for a while, and a trace of inconspicuous loss suddenly flashed in his eyes, which I was keenly aware of.

"Hey, don't get excited! It's just a trivial joke! Look! You've crushed the apples!"

"Ah......h

-- It's not all your fault! Anyone would have reacted to such remarks suddenly. It's a shame you can say it's a joke, but it's a shame that something so delicious is wasted.

"Goo. ”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......h It's good to be frugal, yes, but ...... Forget it, well, there's another one here. ”

"Thank you. ”

This time I simply took it. This guy, although it doesn't seem to be very reliable, is a little different from the "big guys" I know in the past who always see everything too easily because they have never experienced pain.

"Click. ”

"How?"

"How's it to me? Of course, it's delicious?"

“......”

- Did he hesitate?

"Didn't you choke? That would be great. ”

- You were worried about me? Well, I didn't notice that there was a nucleus in there, but it probably didn't matter......

The next bite he swallowed, but suddenly choked out along with the previous one.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

"Hey, look, I just said you shouldn't eat too fast, come on, drink some water. ”

- It seems that it is too early to be optimistic, ah, it would be a burlesque to choke to death like this.

"Phew, I was too careless. ”

"Hahahaha, you're a good fighter. ”

- A good fighter?

Hearing this somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar word, I couldn't help but feel a little agitated in my heart. If he had said that in the first place, then I would have thought it was a sarcasm for me, but for now......

"Aren't you going to continue?"

"Continue?"

"Go on with your whimsical ideals and why you stare at me like that. ”

"Ah, I almost forgot, so I want to talk about where, ah, yes, destroy the world, right? I want ...... Hey, huh, don't go!"

"Hmph. Save that for another time, Captain. ”

――I seem to be starting to understand why they say you're a "weirdo...... But it's not enough, I don't know you well enough. Life, the world, although it is full of fraud and betrayal, full of tears and pain, but if there are still guys like you, then it must still be able to make some waves in this calm lake, right?

If you want me to call you captain willingly, you can't pretend to be crazy and stupid......

......

......

......

"I didn't know at the time that you were such a naïve, stupid and crazy person. ”

The scene of the first meeting between the two can be said to be absurd, but if it weren't for this, I'm afraid that the self who could no longer trust anyone at that time would probably have been so negative all the time, and maybe he wouldn't have been able to live until now.

"I'm really not happy to be told by you. ”

The rain has finally stopped. The "ordinary men" of Lian Zhan Vena, Ralph, and Mohr finally closed their eyes and fell to the ground at this moment, and the tentacles formed by blood clotted disappeared without a trace, and not far in front of him, the two who sat opposite each other, for some reason, began to recall the past together, but their eyes never met for a moment.

In this situation, Moore was completely unable to meet Lance's sincere gaze.

It's like going back to the day we first met.

At this moment, it is life and death.

- Lance is dead.

The news of Lance's death, from his best friend, mentor, benefactor, and all of these identities was too unacceptable to him, just like the jokes Lance made to cheer him up when he first met him, which only sounded ridiculous for a while.

It's just that Moore's understanding of Lance is no longer what it is when he first met.

After going through too many trials and tribulations, battles and struggles together, Moore has thoroughly understood Lance as a person.

- He doesn't lie at all.

But how can a dead person be "alive" and reappear in the world, and still be able to tell the news of his death with a relaxed face?

"Didn't you say that time is running out, and that's not what you want to tell me. What are you waiting for?"

"It's so easy to see through, and I really feel a little bit of frustration. However, 'losing' to you doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing, because it's you. ”

"That's because you didn't want to disguise anything at all, so don't mention the crappy incentives...... So, all the guidance you gave me a while ago was for the present?"

Shaking his head in resignation, there were too many questions in Moore's mind, but Lance never gave him any clear answer, but kept talking about something inconsequential.

- I know you have good intentions, but ...... Alas, Lance......

Knowing the inner struggle of the person in front of him, facing his subordinates with his head bowed, and at the same time being a close friend, Lance still had a sunny smile on his face, something flashed in his bright eyes, and when he was about to speak, he heard another familiar voice in the distance.

"Brother Mo! Brother Mo! Ah, I've found you, that kid with tentacles you see-"

It was so loud that just by hearing it, one could guess how energetic the owner of the voice should be. It was Ralph, who had countless tiny scratches on his body, who came from afar.

After knocking out a large human-shaped hole in the hard rock wall, the strong man from the northwest who had a lot of effort to dig himself out of it arrived. Chasing in the general direction, he had just wanted to make sure that the enemy who had taken his full blow was still alive.

"Ahh

Then, I saw such a surprising and delightful picture.

Obviously, when he saw Lance's tragic corpse and was injured like that, combined with Vina's reaction, even Ralph knew that Lance was dead at all. However, the sad emotions have not been fully emptied, and the old man has appeared alive in front of him.

"It's not a dream haha! I knew you weren't so easy to die......! It was miserable just now, but now it's even the clothes that have been mended, and if there is such a convenient magic, I would like to learn it, hahaha!"

If you are someone else, you will inevitably be surprised and suspicious, but in Ralph's place, there is only excitement, the big man rubbed his eyes fiercely, and pinched his arm, and realized that everything in front of him was not his hallucination, and immediately strode towards it with a smile on his face.

"No see, Ralph. Your voice is still so loud that Vena has been counted out again, right?" Sitting on the ground, Lance tilted his head slightly to look at his companion who was running towards him, and his graceful posture was as graceful as that of a nobleman - a nobleman would not sit directly on the dirt floor. The blue trimmed white robe dragged into the mud, but it was not stained with a trace of filth, "It's really nostalgic, I didn't think you were so strong when I fought against you last time, if it was me in normal times this time, I should have been directly knocked down by that blow." ”

"It's really, really a great blow, and you're growing up fast. ”

His words were soft and flat, in stark contrast to Ralph's gruff voice, and after a pause, the smile on Lance's face and the sincere admiration made the approaching warrior blush.

"Ha, where is it, where is it! You and Brother Mo are more powerful. ”

There is no doubt that among the five members of the squad, Lance and Moore are the stronger. And between the two of them, no one will doubt that as the captain of the team, Lance's huge magic power and extremely pure magic control ability seem to make his strength even more bottomless.

However, such a powerful Lance rarely wins training battles, simply because he is unwilling to use spells that are too powerful on his companions and could cause them to be injured.

Being too kind is his "fatal" heel.

In such troubled times, people who are too kind never live long.

The rather warm and pleasant atmosphere was broken by a quiet low roar, and it could be heard that the owner of the voice was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"Ralph!" Moore, who bowed his head and was silent, suddenly called out the name of the big man in a shy and playful voice, "You idiot haven't realized it yet!"

Ralph and Lance, the two were not polite, but full of real laughter, and every time they said a word, Moore's heart stinged a little more.

It is precisely because it is the expression of true feelings that the pain is even more piercing.

"Mohr ......"

Lance, who had always been smiling, turned to his best friend's reaction, and finally frowned.

"Ralph, keep your eyes open, give me a closer look!"

"Well, the current situation is not ......" The "senior" he admired suddenly became angry, which made the strong man who was indulged in the two points of "Lance is not dead" and "was appreciated by him" a little confused, "Ah! That kid has fallen? The annoying tentacles are gone? I knocked it down, right?! Or are you two ......?"

"Ralph!"

"Enough. ”

Mohr slammed his fist to the ground, and Lance's frown stretched out as he stretched out his arm in motion for Moore.

As if unearthly, a smile like the scorching sun reappeared on his handsome face.

"Huh......" exhaled deeply, Lance got up suddenly, but the movement was so fast that Ralph's eyes widened and he couldn't catch it, obviously he was still sitting upright just now, and the next second, the man with a long body stood in front of Ralph, "Ralph, think about what I said before, when did I fight you again?" ”

Looking at the big man's fruitless expression, Lance did not sigh, but showed a child's prank as if it had succeeded in a prank.

"To put it simply, I'm dead. ”

"Hmm...... Huh!"

The sudden remarks made Ralph jump to his feet, and he waved his palm, trying to slap Lance, who must have been babbling gibberish, and then loudly accuse him of what kind of joke he was playing, but the accusatory words could no longer be spoken.

His palm passed directly through Lance's body.

- Untouchable, which means that the two are no longer the same existence.
