In the darkness, a little beating fire came from far and near.

- Firelight?

The light footsteps of the girl were accompanied by the light of the fire. It's like a fairy out of the dust, and it's like a mysterious witch.

- Who?

The sporadic lights gradually illuminated the girl's face. Memories from the depths of inscription and memory also appear in my mind little by little.

- Luxis......

It's closer. The girl's beautiful face reflects the white snow-like wings behind her.

(Are you calling me?) My lord. ）

The girl's gentle voice is like the warm sun of spring.

The next moment, a completely different voice sounded in my ears. The cold sound is like the ice and snow of winter, which is suffocating.

(Obey your call, my lord.) ）

Where the fire behind her could not shine, the girl appeared quietly wearing wings as black as ink.

The two girls have exactly similar looks, but give people two diametrically opposed feelings. One is as gentle as a spring breeze, and the other is as cold as a cold wind.

(My name is Cyril.) ）

(My name is Ariel.) ）

Inadvertently, the clear pupils of the two girls reflected the young man's bewildered dazedness at the same time, as well as the gorgeous wings behind him - one wing was as white as the first snow; One wing was as dark as the night.

Black and white wings intertwined, and the maidens knelt on one knee in front of him.

At the same time, the vows of the maidens echo in this void world: "Please allow us to be your shield." ”

……

Angelus suddenly came back to his senses.

The warm sunlight shines through the glass on the top of the restaurant, casting a warm golden color over the entire restaurant.

The aroma of grilled steak, the sweetness of fresh fruit, and the aroma of coffee. Angelus raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead and gasped in relief.

- Monster ...... Is it?

On the other side of the restaurant came the sound of young girls playing. The words that came revealed the topic they were discussing at the moment—the boy who sat motionless like a wooden man, so strange.

Angelus couldn't help but smile wryly. Although he is not very old, and much younger than most people guess. However, due to his years of military career and several times between life and death, he always looks a few years older than his actual age.

(That's what people say...... Alas...... ）

The expression as if swallowing a bitter gourd made the girls in the distance laugh louder.

Angelus reached out and picked up the glass of water on the table, slowly sipping the orange juice from the cup. There was a blankness in the pupils, and some were not only confused about the unknown, but more from the fear of themselves.

- If humans have wings, don't they become monsters?

(Monster...... Is it...... ）

At this time, another voice also came out from the depths of my heart.

- If you have the opportunity, you will be given another chance to choose again. Are you still willing to meet "her"?

(If there is another chance...... ）

Suddenly, a small hand slammed on his shoulder. This level of force wasn't powerful, but it was enough to wake Angrus from his confusion.

"Hey! What are you doing? The energetic Isha rushed to hug him from behind, "I've called you several times, why don't you ignore me." The little girl turned her head sideways and showed a slightly thoughtful expression, "Isn't it...... Are you thinking about me? ”

"No...... It's not ......"

"Hmm......" Isha pursed her lips and her cheeks bulged like goldfish, "Villain, you still ignore me!" Huh~~~" Then she leaned into Angelus's face as if she had discovered a new world, "Why are you listless." ”

The little girl's innocent little face exudes a very exuberant vitality. Looking at her energetic smile, it seems that even the gloomy sky is shining with rays of sunshine.

(If...... If there is another chance for me to meet "her". I still won't change my decision! ）

The gaze returned to its previous clarity. Before he knew it, a faint smile bloomed on Angelus's face.

“…… Feed! You're all right, what are you giggling at alone! Also, I'm hungry. ”

Isha muttered and pointed to the dessert cabinet not far away, re-emphasizing her request.

"I'm hungry!"

So, Angelus, who was the host and temporarily served as a nanny, got up and made a cameo appearance as a waiter.

"I want strawberries, and that mango flavor. Ah, that one too! ”

It can be seen that Isha has a special love for soft and glutinous cakes.

"It's not a good picky eater."

"Why, 'carnivore' is on the side. The guy who only eats meat is not qualified to talk about me. ”

Isha munched on the cake as she pointed to the fried chicken thighs, braised steak, and smoked ham on the table......

"Uh...... Eat so much sweet stuff and be careful to gain weight. When you get fat, you can't fly. ”

Angelus also did not show weakness, and opened his mouth to be the most sensitive weight problem for girls.

"Don't worry about it!" Isha swallowed a bite of cake and glared at Angelus fiercely, "My body has nothing to do with you!" ”

"It's impossible for a goblin who can't even control his body to conquer the sky!"

"Well, I think I'm in very good shape. Moreover, there is no connection between my size and the conquest of the sky. At the same time, I've never thought about the boring question of 'conquering the sky'! ”

In the corner of the restaurant, the spit and backlash between the owner and the goblin began.

---------------------------------------

On the slightly golden surface of the lake, a white waterfowl hovers and descends slowly.

When it was still two meters away from the surface of the lake, it suddenly dived, and its head and feet were planted in the water, causing ripples on the calm surface of the lake.

After a short moment, it had a small fish in its slender beak and flapped its wings out of the water.

"Coo, coo...... Coo, coo, coo, ......"

The waterfowl raised its slender neck, barked a few times, and then flapped its wings again and flew off into the distance.

And in the middle of the lake behind it, like a majestic castle, huge ships are slowly setting sail against the sun.

"Buzz ......"

The characteristic roar of engines was heard in the air.

With the roar, the ship, which is dominated by red and embellished with a multicolored glass curtain wall, gradually picks up speed. And when the dazzling phase particles flow into a colorful jet of air, the hull breaks away from the water and begins to rise in altitude smoothly.

Following the large pleasure boat, another blue and white ship also began to taxi.

After two and a half days and a whole night, a total of more than 30 hours of emergency repairs, the Jewel Princess, which had landed on Lake Bejar, finally embarked on its journey again. At the same time, the fleet of motorized cruisers from the Harast fortress also set out on the journey back to base.

“…… Lieutenant Colonel, I look forward to fighting alongside you next time. I wish you good luck. ”

The captain of the mobile cruiser Ruida III, Major Zilino, raised his hand in salute and then cut off the communication.

With a little hesitation and a hint of loss, the young man in civilian clothes also raised his hand silently and saluted.

"Hurry up! Fei Fei, come soon! ”

Not far behind him, there was the sound of a girl's silver bell-like laughter.

"Well, here we ......"

The boy took one last look at the distant battleship, then turned to the girl who was waving at him.

"Quick! Hurry! It's almost time to begin. ”

The girl hugged the boy's arm and dragged him forward with a little coquettishness.

"We'll cheer for Sister Shirley later."

"yes, definitely."

It seems that the energetic laughter of girls infects teenagers. Unconsciously, his steps became brisk.

Walking through the short corridor, a half-open open-air stage emerges. On stage, a red-haired girl is holding a red guitar and playing softly.

"Sister Shirley! Come on! Come on! ”

"Hmm!"

The small silver pendant exudes a bright light on the chest, and the long red hair is still combed into a symmetrical double ponytail on the left and the right according to the girl's own habits. Plus a black puffy skirt and a white suspender top. The girl's beauty at the moment is like a dazzling pearl, perfectly showing the demeanor of being an "angel's wings".

She waved to the girls around her, and then sang to the melody of the guitar:

——Love in your eyes

——Sitting silent by my side

——Going on holding hands

——Walking through the nights

——Hold me up hold me tight

——Lift me up to touch the sky

——Teaching me to love with heart

——Helping me open my mind

As the song sounds, tiny white snowflakes flutter and fall from the sky.

The singing girl elegantly reached out her hands and gently hugged the first piece of white that fell in front of her.

Inadvertently, a long-awaited figure appeared in a corner of the stage.

A smile of joy quietly spread from the corners of her mouth, and there was a faint shyness in the girl's bright eyes.

At the same time, the singing voice also ushered in the chorus part commonly known as "climax".

——I can fly

——I'm proud that I can fly

——To give the best of mine

——Till the end of the time

——Believe me I can fly

——I'm proud that I can fly

——To give the best of mine

——The heaven in the sky

The singing voice carries a little pride and shyness that matches the artistic conception, and spreads gently along the wind. On stage, the girl spreads her arms and hums an interlude between the second chorus and the duet.

(—Shirley, thank you.) ）

The boy silently took a few steps back and hid himself in the crowd.

Something hidden in his heart seemed to send him a threatening growl. At that moment, the pitch-black pupils also turned into chaos like an abyss.

(—but I'...... ）

The boy moved his lips as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, no sound was made. He glanced at the girl who was singing on the stage and quietly left.

And behind him, the girl's singing is also nearing the end.

——See me fly

——I'm proud to fly up high

——Show you the best of mine

——Till the end of the time

——Believe me I can fly

——I'm singing in the sky

——Show you the best of mine

——The heaven in the sky

——Nothing can stop me

——Spread my wings so wide
