Chapter Seventy-Three: True Companions
The bitter chill of the mountain wind swept across the Fuyuki Peninsula like a charging cavalry from the peaks of the Yangyan Mountains, which were covered with heavy snow all year round, and it blew up the half-drawn curtains through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, and visited every corner of the room uninvited without even saying hello. The noble wind from the snow-capped mountains seemed to have a magic power like no other, causing the warm room with the fireplace to freeze in an instant.
"What the hell are you talking about......
After a long silence, Nagi, tired of the wind, the pendulum, and Anthea's snoring, finally spoke, and she looked at Viktoria, who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, with a complicated expression, and said in the most skeptical tone she could.
If we can't even accept the betrayal of our companions, what qualifications do we have to be companions? I have to say that this sentence is full of paradoxes, and isn't the so-called companion an existence that trusts each other and has the blessings and shares the same hardships? Since they are companions, why do they stab them in the back?
"Oh, look at your ghostly appearance," Victoria smiled as she stared at Nagi and said disdainfully, "If you're not mistaken, you who believe in friendship and bonding must have been betrayed in the most cruel way by the so-called companion you believe in." ”
"So what!"
"Don't be angry, it's not me who betrayed you. ”
Why do you want to talk about these things when she is dying? Victoria herself doesn't know the answer, but perhaps it is because she has exhausted herself that she can take off all the masks of her appearance and heart, and become her true self without pretense.
"I've been betrayed before, so I know how you feel, and to be honest, when I know that fact, I really have a sense of despair that the sky is going to fall, and so do you, Nagi. ”
Lowering her head, Victoria's thoughts once again returned to the past that she had sworn to forget, the more you try to forget something, the easier it is for that memory to linger in the depths of your soul, and the more you try to remember something, the easier it is to fade away in the passage of time.
"If you know the pain of betrayal, why do it!" "Scattering the arcane orb in her hand, Nagi angrily reached out and grabbed the wide collar of Victoria's leather coat and dragged her from the ground to herself, just like Nagichai, this guy had been betrayed before, the pain that bordered on despair, she had also experienced it firsthand, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Do you not even understand such a simple truth, or do you simply want to vent your pain on those who believe in you, and get a little sordid solace and revenge from their pain and despair?"
"Huh, you say revenge, why should I retaliate?"
Bulging her mouth into an O-shape, Viktoria retorted exaggeratedly.
"The premise of revenge is to have an enemy, an object that I resent, although I don't know what you think, but unfortunately, I don't have such an enemy. ”
Spreading her hands, Viktoria twisted her slender waist like an Indian snake dancer, shaking her head and laughing.
"The guy who betrayed you......"
"That guy is my companion! In the past and now, that guy is the only companion I recognize! What if your companion betrays you? What is it to keep saying 'give me my back to you', but after being stabbed, what is it to regret it? Since you don't have the consciousness of being betrayed by your companion, why don't you just believe in any companion?"
With a mocking smile on her face, two lines of blood and tears suddenly appeared in Viktoria's eyes, and it was not difficult to see what kind of indignation this girl who could betray her companion with a clear conscience was in such a complicated mood to Nagi.
The consciousness of being betrayed by his peers......
What kind of consciousness does this have from a twisted guy......
"This kind of thing is just your unilateral understanding, even if you make an oath? Are there still few guys in this world who have been betrayed by their peers? If you carefully look through the general history of the pan-continent, there are many such guys! What righteous brothers, what childhood sweethearts, they are all bullshit! When he is betrayed, he cries like a deep resentful woman, and asks why people betray him--aha! What's there to ask about this, the so-called trust is always one-sided, you really regard others as companions, but people always treat you as a wronged boss who can be sold for a good price. ”
Another gust of cold wind swept through the spacious and empty room, so cold that Nagi felt like she was wearing it in an ice cave, and Viktoria's collar slowly slipped from her weak hand, and Nagi remained unmoved as she watched the other person lose her center of gravity and fall to the ground.
Is the so-called companion just wishful thinking? Perhaps the companion whom he believes in has never regarded himself as a companion, but as a pawn. Is that kind of mutual trust and peace of mind to give each other's backs to each other's companions just their own idealized and unrealistic ideas?
"So you chose to run away? Not trusting anyone, that means you don't expect anyone to believe in you, abandoning your companions, and wanting to live alone, right?"
Nagi suddenly realizes that she doesn't seem to be unable to understand Victoria's feelings and thoughts, however, understanding does not mean approval.
"If I do, why would I not hold a grudge against the guy who betrayed me as a companion, and I actually have to thank her! Thank you for teaching me a lesson, so that I will not be deceived by such hypocrisy as my companion for a long time!"
She said that she would not hold grudges, but Viktoria's gritted teeth deeply betrayed her true thoughts, how could she not be angry, her sworn words were just the result of self-hypnosis that she did not want to believe the fact that she had been betrayed.
"You're right, if you choose to be a companion, then you should be tolerated with the betrayal of the other party," did not deny Viktoria's statement, Nagi crossed her arms and nodded, "However, such a companion is not the real companion you are looking for, is it? ”
"Fools! People are just using each other, the so-called bonds are just a trick that only children believe, people will grow, and the longer people live, the more selfish they will become, for their own interests, betraying their former companions or something, just pediatrics!"
With a disdainful sip, Victoria didn't mean to be impressed by Nagi's words.
"If you succeed once, the companion is too worthless, failure will happen, betrayal must be experienced, a guy like Uncle Leon, maybe until the moment he dies because of your betrayal, he has not found a true companion. However, as long as you can keep a sincere heart to search, you will definitely find a companion who can cherish your heart, and this is not a fool's dream-"
Turning his head, Nagi looked at Anthea, who was asleep, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Yes, we have found it, and although we are fools who do not measure ourselves, we will not betray our true companions. ”
