He can understand the strange thing, Leti has never heard anyone say this, even if he deceives himself, he is afraid that the seagulls passing by will laugh.

But his ridiculous words penetrated people's hearts as silently as the sound of waves from the other side of the wall, disintegrating the sand in Letti's heart little by little, and at the same time seemed to subtly comfort Letti, setting off the delicate and soft coral-colored foam.

"That, Letti. The gun carriage had a sturdy wooden wedge to hold the shells in place to help with aiming. In order for you to aim, how about I come to your wooden wedge? Then you'll be able to aim and fire. "

Letti pressed her cheeks, which had just burned as red as the coral-colored color of her uniform, with a strange and chaotic emotion that she had never felt before, but strangely she did not feel uncomfortable, but instead had a similar but slightly different excitement that slowly spread in her body.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Leti even completely forgot that night that she hadn't seen the cannon, and it was the first time since she entered the school that she went straight to the dormitory to sleep without going to the arsenal.

After that, Letti and Clayty also maintained this relationship.

A white and scheming little white rabbit and a simple brown bear, although there are too many differences between the two, this rare balance formed by great contrast makes the relationship between the two extremely stable.

Klety is still a good old guy who laughs, and Latty hasn't changed.

Letty still plays the role of a good student, going to the arsenal every day, finding the cannon and confiding in it about her daily life, dreaming of one day seeing the flames.

But speaking of which, Letti still has a slight change.

She began to spend more and more bedtime with Clytie, even more than with Cannon, and if she couldn't see Clyty, she would even wait for the other person to appear, consciously or unconsciously, although she herself was completely unaware of such a change.

Days, weeks, months, and finally when the seasons turned, Letti still didn't think anything had changed.

But she always had Claytie by her side.

He was like his friend, always there, never changing.

The four seasons turned, and the young non-commissioned officers had unconsciously faded the youthfulness of the newcomers, and it was about to be the day when they were officially awarded.

"May the glory be with Levin! Are you looking for me, Admiral? "

"Here you are, Sergeant Leti."

As soon as he walked into the principal's office, Admiral Blanco greeted Letti with a warm welcome.

"Yes, I've heard that you're quite active, and you've never lost your reputation as an honor student since you entered the school, and everyone says that you're an outstanding performer in terms of physical, mental, and intellectual strength."

"You won the prize, thanks to you, you gave me the goal to move forward."

"Hahaha, you don't have to be so modest. However, I do have a good eye for people. "

Leti's sweet words seemed to hit the Admiral's heart, and the Admiral smiled contentedly.

"So, it's time for you to accumulate combat experience, right?"

"！"

"You've always shown great qualifications, and you've lived up to my hopes and proven your strength, so this time I would like to officially send you to the Ludruban Trade Expedition as part of my direct unit, the Estrea Force. For a young non-commissioned officer, this is an unprecedented treatment. "

According to the Admiral's introduction, the kingdom will send galleons and merchant ships across the ocean to the land of the Western Regions, the trading capital of Ludruban, where they will demonstrate Levin's advanced artillery technology, officially opening the prelude to the trade of munitions.

In order to successfully facilitate trade, Levine also plans to make an exception to display several cannon prototypes. The Admiral already likes to show his face, and this time he plans to go to the command demonstration in person.

It's just that the route to the Western Regions is full of pirates, and there are even notorious sea demons who line up troops on the sea.

All in all, Letty needs to board the galleon as a soldier of the Admiralty's direct force to protect the safety of the merchant ship, assist in the smooth progress of the demonstration, and promote the prestige of the developed navy.

All of this was an important task given to Sergeant Leti, and in other words, maybe Leti would have a chance to fire, and if he was lucky enough, maybe even a chance to fire a cannon.

"It is a great honor, Admiral. I'm still a young non-commissioned officer who hasn't graduated, and I really appreciate you giving me this opportunity. "

"Ah, how long have I been waiting for a day!" Faced with the sudden sweet offer, Leti's heart pounded.

Finally, it was the first actual battle, and it was with the cannon he was looking forward to, and it was not in vain that he had always been a honey sword at every opportunity, catering to the admiral as much as possible.

At this moment, all the efforts he had been making to show himself as an honor student, and the countless nights he had spent in the arsenal, suddenly flashed through his mind like a marquee, and at the same time his calm smile as the sea appeared every time he encouraged himself.

"He was the one who wanted to board the ship and sail all along."

Leti was silent for a moment, then spoke cautiously.

"Admiral, I know it may be a bit arrogant to say this, but I have something to ask for."

"What's the matter, Sergeant Leti?"

"I would like to recommend a non-commissioned officer who is suitable for this mission, and he will not let you down."

When the long-awaited day finally came, Clytie was also selected by virtue of the opportunity that Leti had worked so hard to get, and went on the galleon with Leti.

The tasks on deck are already much more demanding than on land, and there are more rules to follow. Although the two have been through countless trainings and have accumulated a lot of knowledge, after all, there are still a lot of things waiting for them to learn every day.

But the red sun rising at sea level every morning, the sea creatures that swim with their boat, and the stars that dot the night sky like a veil dispel their fatigue and inject vitality and adventure into the chests of young men of good blood.

The galleons raised their sails high and sailed the sea with all kinds of trade goods for several days.

Seriously, everything went well.

"Well, I just can't take it anymore."

"Well, don't you like to eat these? Do you want to swap with me? "

Seeing Leti flipping the dishes back and forth on the plate, and poking the fork in her hand at the bread, Clyty handed her plate over as if she was used to it.

"It's not all the same bread, jerky, and biscuits, anyway, Clytie. And what I want to say is not this, I want to say why nothing has happened until now? It's been a voyage I've been looking forward to for a long time, but we're just walking around the gun deck, or going back and forth to the different floors. If this continues, what if there is not even a chance to fire before Ludruban? "

"You may feel sorry, but it's best for everyone's safety to be safe. Calm down, Letti. If we can complete this voyage safely and return to the team, you will have more opportunities in the future, and the Admiral will also trust you. It's going to be okay, everything is going well. "

However, Clytie's reassurance did not do much, and Leti remembered what he had said before.

"It's good to pray to Manano, and you can try it when you go back."

Leti didn't believe in the power of any prayer, but now was the time to pray.

If you miss your chance this time, you don't know how long you'll have to wait for the next one. Leti calmed down her dazed mood, folded her hands, looked at the rippling sea outside the small window of the restaurant, and shouted reverently.

"O great Manano, who sleeps in the sea, do you hear my call? I pray, please, that something may happen to you! ”

Could it be that her prayers were really heard by Manano?

As the evening sun slowly sets, and the stars are shining in the darkness, a strange sign is gradually appearing on the aft deck.

"The compass suddenly doesn't work, what the hell is going on?"

"Wait, the rudder actually moved on its own...... Come here and give it a boost! And that soldier over there, go and report the situation here to the Admiral, quick! "

However, in the face of the commotion in the cockpit, the soldier still blinked, as if bewitched by something, and kept repeating the same words.

"Listen, there's a girl's beautiful singing voice over there......"

"What do you say? Song? But how is this possible, they clearly only exist in legends......"

The navigator hurriedly shouted to the surrounding crew.

"Plug your ears, everybody! Fast! "

But before everyone could respond, the young sailor's words were like a signal flare, and the song instantly swept the entire galleon.

As the beautiful singing reached every corner of the ship, the crew of all floors collapsed to the ground one after another, involuntarily falling asleep. Before you know it, the sailing ship is already silent, and under the gloomy moonlight, the merchant ship, which has long deviated greatly from the course, carries the sleepy people along the raging waves.

"Leti, get up, wake up!!"

In a violent shaking and shouting, Letti snapped her eyes open.

Letti's vision was blurred, and when she looked around, she saw the ceiling of the gun deck above in the dim light, the cannon rolling on the floor, and Kletie, who had a worried and relieved look in her eyes.

"Clayty."

"Ahh It's great that you're okay, it's really good. "

Leti sat down with Clytie's support, trying to remember what had happened before she fell asleep. At that time, she ran to the artillery deck to look at the cannon, and was rubbing her cheek back and forth against the cannon, when suddenly she heard a wonderful singing, a strong sleepiness attacked, and she fell asleep.

Claitie said with a worried look on her face.

"Listen to me, Letti. I don't know the specifics, but it's not going to be good. When I was looking for you before, I found several people who had fallen to the ground and fallen asleep, just like you just did. "

"I heard the singing, it was a woman's singing, and then suddenly I felt sleepy, and I went straight to sleep."

"What do you say? Are you sure? "

Hearing what Letti said, Kletie's face instantly became serious, just as he was about to say something.

Syllable!!!

With a heavy roar, the merchant ship swayed violently from side to side, and the two lost their center of gravity for a moment and were catapulted off the wall.

"Hmm!"

This strong impact made Leti completely lose her sleepiness, and she suddenly woke up. Leti hurriedly got up and ran to the window to check the situation outside, but there was a dark shadow as far as the eye could see, as if something had blocked the view.

"We don't have time here, we need to go outside and check on the situation, you stay here first, Clytie."

Leaving Kletie behind, who had not yet recovered from the onslaught, she climbed the ladder up the passage to the upper deck, only to see an incredibly eerie sight.

The small stars that were still dotted around were all swallowed up by the blue sky, and there was only a full moon left in the sky, and above the dim waves of water with a strange turquoise light, countless dilapidated shipwrecks floated, and a few chirps were heard from time to time in the silent silence, like the chirping of insects from the ancient tombs that had been abandoned for many years.

In fact, this place is enough to be called the grave of the ship.

As she got used to the darkness in front of her, she soon saw the black shadows wandering on the deck, floating around on the deck, from Leti's side to the bow and stern of the ship, looking viscous and heavy, as if they were rubbing directly on the deck and sliding forward.

Although they couldn't be seen in the dark, these black shadows didn't look like humans, but were closer to mollusks, and they were clearly sea demons.

"Letty, you come down first, and then we'll think about countermeasures."

Clayty unconsciously followed, and he was also completely shocked by the situation outside, and the fright was no less than that of Leti. The two nodded silently at each other, and then returned to the next floor.

When the two of them returned safely to the gun deck, Clyty suddenly said something that was unexpected.

"Leti, have you ever heard of a siren?"

"Siren...... Isn't that the legendary sea demons, who are said to bewitch their crews with their beautiful songs......"

As soon as she said this, Letty suddenly realized the connection between the strange sights she had just seen outside and the singing she had heard, and Clayty looked at Leti, whose eyes were wide-eyed, and nodded quietly as if agreeing.

"I once heard the village uncles mention that there is a place on the sea called the Grave of the Boat, which is the end point of the drifting ships on the sea. It is said that if you encounter a storm during the voyage and are bewitched by the song of the sirens during the battle, you will subconsciously sail to this place. And that scene just now...... It bears a striking resemblance to the descriptions of the village uncles. "

"But we weren't swept away by the storm. Look, there's not a drop of rain yet, is it? There are no signs of unusual weather. "

"I understand, but look around, Letti. It was eerily quiet, with no underwater life in sight, no lights of the other ships plying the trade lanes, just the sea and the wreckage. So I speculate that our merchant ships may have been targeted by the Sirens and are on their way to the grave, but the exact reason is unknown......"

Hearing this, Letti's mind suddenly remembered the wish she had made in the restaurant during the day.

"You're right."

"Huh?"

"Praying to Manano really worked, and I prayed very devoutly, praying that something would happen."

Seeing that Cletti seemed to let go of the tight strings abruptly, with a stunned expression on her face, Letty sneered.

"Speaking of which, if those mollusks were really sirens, how would you be fine?"

"Ah, I think...... I'm afraid it's because of this. "

I saw that Cletti suddenly took something out of her pocket, spread her palms and displayed it, and then said with a shy face.

"I took advantage of everyone's sleep, and secretly took some ammunition leads and rolled them up as earplugs."

"What?"

Looking at the lead that was rolled up, Leti subconsciously smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that this kind of thing could get rid of the clutches of the legendary demons, and even made her feel that she was stupid when she was still nervous.

Letti relaxed and calmed down, and turned her gaze to the glittering brass-colored cannon still rolling on the floor. This is the "friend" who had the privilege of accompanying her all the way to Ludruban from the school arsenal.

"It's now, Leti, and the moment you've been thinking about is now."

Looking at the cannon that was whispering to herself in the dim light of the fire, she replied inwardly.

"Yes, I know, now is the perfect opportunity that Manano has given me, and this is the opportunity for a legal explosion that I have been waiting for for a long time."

Leti seemed to be strongly attracted to the cannon, stretched out her hands and carefully placed them on the handle, and after taking a deep breath, she used all her strength to lift the cannon.

When the palms of her hands touched the cold metal touch and the heavy feeling at the same time, her arms were full of blood, and her muscles tensed, and she was completely excited.

Although the cannon is large, it is made of lightweight metal, but it is not as heavy as it seems on the surface, as I have heard the Admiral say before, a well-trained soldier can definitely lift this weight, and the cannon in his hand at this moment is as he has always imagined.

"Clyty, I'll go up and have a look, you're hiding here."

"You're not going to deal with those sirens alone, are you? It's too dangerous! "

But Keletti shook off the simple hand that was on her shoulder at the moment, carried the cannon firmly behind her back, and then said.

"It's not going to help if you keep hiding here anyway, someone has to go up and deal with those guys to save their lives. And most importantly...... I have to seize this opportunity, after today, there will be no more such opportunities. ”

“……”

Cleaty hesitated for a long time, and finally did not answer, but took out the excess ammunition lead from his pocket, tore it in half, and stuffed it into one of Letti's ears as a small earbud.

"Then you'll have to take the least precautions, Leti."

"……"

After a few moments, Clatty meticulously trimmed the cannon, and Letti calmed the coral-colored flush on either side of her cheeks and climbed up to the deck through the passageway.

She bared her pointed rabbit teeth and went to the surrounding demons alone.

Bang Ang!

Seeing a huge flame illuminate the black night sky like the sun, and splashing sparks piercing the sky, Leti couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart and laughed out loud.

It was a strange and beautiful flame unleashed by the roar of the cannon.

It was ash mixed with damp air and an extremely choking black smoke that could only be released by igniting an artificial object.

It was a strong vibration that made the blood vessels and the whole heart beat violently all the way up the hands, and made every bone and joint tingle.

It's like a wild horse on a reins, unfettered by its own restraints, trying to break free from the control of the metal.

And when this wildness is successfully subdued and controlled, the supreme pleasure and trembling bring intense joy, shuttling back and forth to every cell in the body.

Bang Bang! Bang Bang !!

Even if he had blocked his ears to death, the roar of the cannon that resounded through the sky one after another was still loud and clear.

The cannon's firepower really exceeded his expectations, and the shells went everywhere in a scorching flame, killing the evil spirits to the ground. "The flaming octopus legs" flew into the night sky, thumping like firecrackers, and turning to ashes along with the black smoke.

Leti fired frantically for a long time, and when there was no longer any enemy to be seen on deck, he decisively jumped off the galleon, and then went to the wreckage of the nearby grave, and when he saw the remnants of the octopus legs, he strafed the cannonballs all the way.

The explosion would trigger another round of explosions, setting off a chain reaction, and in the midst of the fierce artillery fire, Leti burned with the impulses and desires that had been suppressed all along.

It was the legal explosion she had been expecting since the Naval Cadet School, a flame that could be fired at the enemy without any restrictions, and it was the muzzle of the cannon that she had finally opened after years of patience.

……

……

……

I don't know how long it has been, seeing that the octopus legs that are pouring over are obviously much less, Leti, who is happily shooting, temporarily stopped, stood in place and gasped.

Before you know it, the black night sky, which has not yet had a single star, is full of meteor showers with long tails.

This is a superb view created by the cannon and himself, and it has an incomparable beauty and incredible vitality of the fireworks that I saw on the night of the festival. Such a perfect moment is inexplicably tears welling up, and this moment is the moment that my childhood self has been haunted by since seeing that fireworks.

"Leti, the flames are so beautiful."

Hearing the murmur of the cannon beside her, she blushed and smiled happily.

"It's really beautiful, isn't it? Clayty. "

Very well, it's time for me to go back to the galleon to rescue the Admiral. Then when the Admiral wakes up, I'm going to tell him that it was me and Clyty who saved everyone, so that my credit will be recognized, and I'll be able to take the opportunity to officially join the Admiral's cannon unit with you......

"Huh? Clayty? ”

Leti suddenly regained her senses, and hurriedly looked around, looking for her other friend in the hazy smoke.

Where the hell are you, Cletti? I wish you could come and see this beautiful scenery with me, and you will laugh with me, just as you normally would.

At this moment, a burst of cannon fire was heard from the escort ship in the distance.

It's clearly the sound of a cannon.

"Clytie!"

Feeling bad, Letti hurried over the ashes-hardened wreckage toward the galleon. He is a well-deserved soldier, well-trained, and absolutely capable of protecting himself, but knowing this, Leti has never been able to shake off the anxiety and uneasiness in the corner of his heart.

The closer they got to the galleon, the more octopus legs they had scarcely had, and the few guys who had just escaped the bombardment seemed to avoid the strafing and changed their targets.

"It must have been me fighting with my ears plugged to find a loophole, and I can perform well without this kind of thing."

With a puffed expression on her face, Leti took out the annoying lead from her ear and threw it into the sea. At the same time, Letti remembered the face of the man who had put the lead in her, and ran quickly towards her destination.

When Leti finally climbed onto the familiar deck, she found that the imaginary messy deck was surprisingly clean and tidy.

Although there were still burning wreckage of sirens on the deck, the crew members who had fainted when they had gone on deck had been transported to safety in the blink of an eye, as if "some Hercules" had taken them away one by one regardless of the danger.

"I told him to stay on the artillery deck......"

Letti took a deep breath and hurried towards the stern of the ship, where there was still smoke, and soon she spotted the person she was desperate to find near the captain's cabin in the distance.

Surrounded by sirens attacking from all sides, Claity was completely at a disadvantage.

At this moment he was violently brandishing another cannon on the artillery deck, a cannon with blades, struggling to prevent the enemy from approaching, and at this moment there was still gray smoke from the muzzle, and it seemed that this cannon had been extinguished since the shelling just now.

Even though the situation was critical, Clyty struggled to resist the sirens, keeping them as far away from the captain's cabin as possible. After rescuing all the crew members as much as he could, he used himself as bait to protect the Admiral, who had fainted somewhere in the captain's cabin.

"Claitie!! Claytie!! "

Seeing that no matter how he called, the other party did not respond, and then Leti remembered the pair of lead earplugs that he had just thrown into the sea. That's right, at this moment, Kletie must have that damn earbud in her ear, which was so blocked that she couldn't hear at all.

"Hmm!"

Letty suppressed the anger in her heart, and in order to support Clayty from a distance, she hurriedly found a location where she could see the captain's cabin. Then she adjusted the angle of the cannon and aimed at the group of sirens, but no matter how much she aimed, she couldn't adjust the right angle. The object she wants to protect and the target she wants to solve are too close.

Letty bit her lower lip restlessly, she used to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but now she can't control her heart.

She couldn't understand why she was suddenly facing such painful troubles when she was still wandering in the happiest moment in the world a moment ago.

That's right, it's all because of Clayty, it's all because he was too reckless, it's all blamed on him for not hiding it well, and he has to run out to cause trouble.

……

But in fact, Leti knew in her heart,

The person who ran out recklessly just for his own selfish desires was actually himself, and the person who could stand up bravely regardless of danger in order to protect others was actually Claytie.

"That's why I don't like human friends, if it's a cannon, I don't have to worry about these ......"

"Hmm!"

In a moment of hesitation, several sirens gruffly grabbed Cletti, and they were slicing his thick neck with their sharp claws, blood pouring down the slash. There's no time to hesitate, you have to think of a way.

Leti hurriedly loaded the cannonballs, and then began to fire towards the sea. Seeing this, the group of sirens and Klety looked together at the gushing sea, and then at her.

"So you're fine!"

Seeing that Clety realized that she had reinforcements, and pulled the lead from her ear with difficulty, Leti shouted loudly.

"Can you hear me, Clyty? I, I'm going to shoot these guys! But...... You're getting too close! "

Leti cried out, not knowing what kind of answer she was hoping for, just shouting.

But Klety replied without hesitation.

"It's okay! I'm fine, you fire it! "

"Really? But it's going to hurt you! "

"Anyway, when I die here, these guys will have their eyes on you, the Admiral, and the others."

Even though Clatty was about to suffocate by those sirens at this moment, his eyes were still full of certainty.

"You won't miss your chance, Letti. Now's your chance! There's no next time! "

Hearing Clytie's desperate shout, Leti suddenly came to her senses, strange to say, but at this moment she couldn't remember what Clayty had said.

"So that you can aim, how about I come to be your wooden wedge? Then you'll be able to aim and fire. ”

Even if he was hovering on the line of life and death at the moment, Clytie still adhered to his duty in order to allow Leti to aim in the direction, and firmly straightened the cannon body.

"I see."

Leti replied.

She got down on one knee and, after taking aim, avoided Clytie as carefully as she could, and aimed her guns at the sirens.

Then Leti took a deep breath and said.

"Try it, Letti."

Leti decisively opened fire.

Next to a pile of sirens' corpses, Letty was lucky enough to find an intact box, on which she sat and looked up at the long-tailed meteor shower in the sky.

As always, on either side of her sat her burly, stocky human friend and her cold, brass-colored non-creature friend.

"Clayty, are you alright?"

Cleaty wrapped a large hand over the left side of her face, and when she felt Latty's eyes, she turned half her head to look at her, and then smiled as she always could.

"Well, I'm fine, Letti, it's not as serious as it looks, it doesn't hurt much."

Although Clairety has a gentle voice, her hands tremble, which is distressing.

"……"

"Leti, what's wrong with you? You saved me and the Admiral, and saved us all. Stop crying and mourning, you should enjoy the joy of victory. "

The burnt half of her cheek must have hurt a lot, but Cleaty laughed casually.

It was his loyal and gentle smile that had always been meticulous to Leti, but it seemed terrifying and distorted at the moment, did he know how strange and desolate he looked at this moment?

Latty couldn't hide the tingling pain in the corner of her heart, and turned her head to look at the sky.

In the black night sky, the fire still fell like snow.

It is like colorful colored paper flying out of the banquet, and before you know it, they have dispersed gracefully along the gradually calming sea breeze.

The people on the deck had not yet woken up from their sleep, and one by one they were huddled on the deck, so Letti planned to enjoy the flames burning on the wreckage of the shipwreck until everyone woke up.

With the non-creature friends she cares about the most, as well as her human friends.

"Look there, it's beautiful, isn't it?"

Clayty's gnarled fingers pointed at real shooting stars.

It was a powerful bullet fired by nature from high and far away, dragging the beautiful sparkling tail.

The meteor flew mightily toward the sea level with a otherworldly light that was different from the fire released after the wreckage burned.

"Well, it's really beautiful."

Leti replied in a low voice with amazement, and then she thought to herself.

The flame I watched with my friends and "him" at this moment should be the most beautiful flame I have seen so far.

-

The day was unusually peaceful.

The waves crashing against the beach, making a pleasant sound, and the seagulls circling in the dazzling blue sky, singing in search of prey, are the days that everyone has been waiting for for the long-awaited investiture ceremony.

Leti looked out the window of the dormitory, the young non-commissioned officers of the same class were wearing exquisite dresses, and their steps were brisk, and they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, and Leti looked quietly for a long time before returning to his bedside and began to pack his luggage.

The suitcase I brought with me was actually more modest than I expected, a few cannon-related books, simple snacks that could be bought on campus, a few sets of clothes, and nothing more.

Looking back, she has been playing the role of an honest honor student during the day, and she is busy getting in and out of the arsenal at night, so she really doesn't have time to cultivate other hobbies.

Thinking of every day and night she had worked hard to achieve her goal, Letti chuckled softly.

"Well, after all, if you are going to embark on a long sailing trip in the future, it is better to travel light."

Leti looked again to see if she had left anything behind, and with a crisp click, she closed the box and left the empty room.

Now that everyone was gone, Letty walked through the empty hallway, listening intently to the sounds coming from outside.

Although she couldn't hear clearly due to the distance limitations, she could still guess a thing or two, and after a long lecture, soon the shouts of blood and strength resounded throughout the empty corridor, which lasted for several seconds, and Leti's pace became excited.

She actually doesn't have any special feelings for her classmates and this school, and what she feels in her heart is more about the joy of leaving this place that represses and restricts her.

But as soon as she thought that it was the last goodbye, and she also inexplicably wanted to cheer for the future of these young non-commissioned officers, Leti saluted to the place where the shouts came from, and whispered blessings.

"May the infinite glory be with the great Levin."

The award ceremony is underway, and the campus is naturally deserted, and Letty walks in it to reminisce about the past years.

When I disobeyed my parents' wishes and left home for the first time to come to this campus, I had never had the experience of being able to do it, everything was so unfamiliar, but I still had to pretend to be familiar and capable, and I struggled day by day.

I thought I would be unable to resist, but my courage helped me survive, and I also accumulated a period of hidden memories, as well as the beautiful night that Manano, the god of the sea, brought to me.

One by one, the big guys who had been knocked out by the siren's singing woke up, Admiral Blanco was the last to wake up, and the first thing that caught his eye was the distorted side face of Clayty, who had tried his best to save him.

This loyal young non-commissioned officer fought against the demons alone, saved everyone, and at the same time personally proved how good the firepower of his ambitious work can be in the one-to-many battle with the demons, and the admiral was deeply moved by this incident, and developed a great favor and infinite trust in him.

After some twists and turns, the merchant ship finally returned to the port of Juan safely, and it didn't take long for Clyty to become a soldier in the Admiral's direct army, and at the same time become the Admiral's most trusted soldier, and the future can be described as limitless.

Everything is going according to Leti's plan.

On the contrary, Leti was depressed for a while, and every day she was weak.

Could it be that after being strongly stimulated once, the previous stimulation could no longer arouse any reaction from her?

Now she is not interested in anything, and nothing can bring her the pleasure and excitement that satisfies her.

She had experienced such intense moments that she could never go back to the time when she was content with worthless jokes and silly fun all day long.

But she couldn't continue to be trapped in this closed organization, waiting for the exciting moment to come to her before, and she became helpless.

And another thing also made Leti undecided.

That's Clytie.

The burns on his face were severe, but after proper treatment and rehabilitation, he was able to recover and appeared to be unusual.

If there are any sequelae, at most it is a deep scar left by the burning of the flesh on the left side of his face, affected by this scar, his face is now more fierce than before, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth is a little distorted when he speaks and smiles.

What really didn't heal was Leti's heart, and since that night, when Leti saw Clayty's cheek, there was an irrepressible tingling sensation in the corner of her heart.

"Don't you think I look worse than I used to do when I have a scar? Now my face is finally worthy of my size, but the problem is that naturally there are more people who are afraid of me...... Haha, isn't it possible that I have to wear a helmet that covers my face when I go out? "

Except for his appearance, Clayty is actually the same as before, he has always been so loyal and gentle. But the terrible scar that remained on his face whispered to Leti every day through his gentle voice.

"Look, Letti, it's your flame burn, how about it? Really pretty, right? ”

So a few days before the award ceremony, Leti suddenly applied for retirement.

Now that she has got everything she can get here, she no longer has reluctance and hesitation.

And most importantly, the pain that kept stinging her heart could not go away, and she wanted to escape from it.

Why didn't she understand sooner? The cannon of the non-biological friend can carry the flames, but the human friend Clayty can't carry the flames of his own.

As long as I am with him, every moment in the future is a continuation of pain, and my worries and sorrows will definitely drag me down, and I must be worried all day long, for fear that he will be hurt by his own flames again......

This can't happen again.

Leti decides to leave her fragile human friends and embark on a new journey.

Instead of returning to her hometown of Valla, she embarked on a ship bound for the Western Regions and crossed the oceans.

In fact, Leti has quite a means, and secretly brought out a cannon that went to the battlefield with her that day, thinking that if she can go to the distance with her flame non-biological friends who can withstand her, and stand on the front line of the war against the demons, maybe she can regain the pleasure and joy of that day again, even if that feeling is incomplete, it must be better than the current situation.

Leti stepped out of the school gate and took to the streets, where she found her true friend, the cannon, who was hiding in a secret location. The cannon had been prepared in advance, and at the moment it was surrounded by layers of cloth, waiting for Leti's arrival. With a box in one hand and a heavy cannon in the other, Letti walked in the direction of the port. Now she was afraid that she would never set foot on the land of Juan's territory again.

At this moment, there was a shout from behind him.

"You, you wait for me, Leti !!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Leti closed her lips and turned away, and saw him standing there.

He is a handsome officer uniform, but he still looks so unpretentious.

Letty felt that if the two met again, she would be heartbroken again and would leave, but Clytie chased after her, just like his usual style.

"How can you leave without saying a word? I haven't said goodbye to you yet......"

"This officer's uniform suits you."

Leti really didn't dare to look at Clayty's gentle eyes, and inexplicably opened the topic, in fact, she had a lot of high-sounding goodbyes to say, but today she couldn't easily say those words that were not sincere.

"Are you supposed to be...... Want to steal the cannon, right? "

Seeing the big guy on Leti's shoulder, Clayty asked in surprise, and Leti shrugged her shoulders and replied calmly.

"I started preparing the day I decided to leave, and it wasn't difficult to hide from the supply officer."

"It's really you Letti, surprisingly bold."

Cletty laughed, but closed her mouth suddenly, and smiled faintly, whether it was because she was worried about her burned cheeks, or because she was afraid that her laughter would scare others, and I don't know when it became his habit.

An awkward silence flowed, and Cletti finally spoke quietly.

"Well, Leti, you...... Do you have to go? "

"……"

"I know very well what it's like to leave, so naturally I don't want to keep you, but I still want you to ......"

"I still hope you don't leave."

Klety stopped talking, and Kletti could guess exactly what he was trying to say.

Leti said calmly.

"I'm afraid I still won't get along with my human friends, I knew this before, but I forgot about it for a while. So I had to get out of here, out of this place full of people, with this 'friend' that I could rely on the most. "

"Leti ......"

Wanting to express her sincerity as much as possible, Letti quietly stared at Kletie's eyes and his scars. I saw that his eyes were as big as a brown bear, and his eyes were full of gentleness and kindness, and at this moment he was trying his best to hide the sadness and pain of the farewell person for Leti's departure.

"Just ......"

Leti spoke again.

"It's just that from now on, my cannon will be called Clayty."

"！"

"I will cross the ocean with the powerful and handsome Clytie, who will neither be injured nor in deep danger, and we will always be together and never separated, no matter where we are, so that we will always be by each other's side."

"Leti ......"

Letty put down the box in her hand and held out a pair of hands to the wide-eyed Cletti, motioning for him to hold it, and then Leti said.

"Goodbye, you have to take care, you can't die on the battlefield."

Clayty, who had been thinking about how to say goodbye, stretched out a large hand, grabbed the slender and white hand stretched out from the opposite side and said.

"Well, you must also take care of your health, and no matter what happens, you must remember to eat on time and on time."

After speaking, he emphasized another sentence.

"I hope you are always happy, and I will pray to Manano."

The sails of the ship bound for the Western Regions were hoisted high, and they rode the wind and waves all the way.

Former a non-commissioned officer, Letti and her only friend dream of a new life in an unknown land after crossing the ocean, a new life full of trembling and joy.

Although she doesn't know what will happen in the future, Letti is ready to face it, and no matter what happens, she will not give in, because she has the most precious friends who can be relied on and trusted.

On the western continent, which is at the forefront of the battle against the demons,

Together, the two of them will unleash a fire greater than ever in an unknown land,

It was a grander, more brilliant flame.
