"Caught!"

Kylia happily hugged the raven, who was wrapped in a sturdy robe, and waited for the frozen door of the Vigi lounge to be unsealed. At present, only one of the ravens is exposed, and it is still hanging weakly, and all five eyes reveal a clear "life is loveless".

It's not that Kylia has any talent for it, it's just that after a period of flickering and futile, Corax himself realizes that this is only going to be endless. He could easily increase the difficulty to discourage the mortal girl and the strange doll in front of him in this matter, but he couldn't break the blockade of the emperor's psionic energy.

Nor can he say that he has not encountered similar situations in the past. It is not uncommon for a "raven" to be trapped somewhere for some reason and unable to return to its original form, and Corax will generally choose to abandon the trapped part and directly choose a suitable method to erase it after achieving its goal.

He could now do so in a similar way, but it was like cutting one's own flesh with a knife—and it was certainly expedient to do so on a battlefield where the stakes were high or life and death were unpredictable; But in the present situation, which was obviously not exhausted, he always felt that things had not yet developed to the point where they had to do it.

The raven decided to give up the struggle for a moment, and threw himself into the robe that Kelia was trying to use to capture him. Anyway, the face that should be lost has been lost, so be it, it won't be good if you are caught for the time being. After a while, when the attention of the others (mainly the Emperor) was taken away from here, he didn't run as much as he wanted.

It's a bit of a pity that there's no clear measure of how long this "time" will take. He only hoped that no more people would see Him before that.

Pamenio is still in the post-war recuperation phase, and everyone involved is either busy counting the losses or preparing for the next war: the enemies in this system have been eliminated, but not all the enemies in the entire Extreme Star Field have been eliminated. Even if this war is over, the flames of the next war will always burn in the vast territory of the empire.

Although the Storm Boundary is also waiting for the next distant and magnificent voyage, in this time period when everyone is busy sweeping the snow in front of the door, because not long after the sanitizing work, not everyone has noticed the reason why it has returned, and now it can be said that there is no living person on it except for Kelia. After expelling the strange dolls and floating spirits from the concept of "human", Corax's wish that "no more people should see his face" was well fulfilled.

Because the news that "something that had slipped into the ship was caught by a new girl" was passed on by Wei, the alarm on the Storm Frontier was temporarily lifted. The agitated spirits calmed the letter suspiciously, but the doll squad regrouped, staring warily at the ravens that were enveloped in the entirety:

"It's probably pretended." Ku waved the small gun in his hand with his teeth and claws, so he scared Kelya, "It probably just wants you to let your guard down, and then sneak out of it, and then scratch your eyes." ”

The latter's response to this was to show her robe with a robe on the raven itself, tightly sewn and tied in a dead knot at the outermost: "I just learned how to fix bones on the battlefield in an emergency!" It must not be able to move now! ”

- For ordinary birds, this may indeed be the case. Even the immature and unprofessional techniques used in the packing process that are not specifically designed to catch birds can damage the birds themselves. But for a raven with five eyes on the top of its head alone, this so-called "fixation" is not even an obstacle at all.

He could easily cut through his robe with his sharp claws at any time if he wanted to, or simply spread his wings in defiance of the fabric itself, not to mention that he was still waiting for an opportunity to slip back into the subspace as soon as he had a gap. He just didn't have the opportunity to do the latter, so he didn't have any idea that it was necessary to do the former.

And after being wrapped in a piece of clothing a few times, it was quite warm.

He squinted quietly in the fabric, watching as the Doll Squad and Kylia came to the conclusion that they were going to watch over the "guy who got mixed up somehow" together before Rika Fujimaru received the communication and came back with the news. Then, they argued over where to keep it, and finally, in an atmosphere that was as unserious as a child's house, they made a decision to "take it with you and go to the library together" in an atmosphere that was as unserious as a child's house.

- While the root cause of this decision is largely due to the fact that none of the people or things currently gathered here have access to relatively high-security doors, or prisons, or other facilities that serve a similar purpose, Corax is still puzzled: You should at least find a cage, right?

But He didn't speak, and he didn't say anything about it. He did hesitate for a moment, but at the same time, he realized that it had been a long time since he had spoken properly, or in any form of opinion that might have been known or adopted by others. Time in subspace is ambiguous, and Corac himself does not remember how long this "long" was. It could be hundreds, it could be millennia.

In this moment of hesitation, he also realized that he seemed unsure whether he could still speak. If he still has the ability, will what he says be understandable to people now?

Both low and high Gothic have changed with the passage of time in the real universe. The Primordial Mind was able to interpret the words corresponding to the flow of these sounds and the different pronunciations for Him in an instant, but the sounds that fell on His ears still made Him feel strongly that things were wrong.

As His mind slipped again in the direction that "the age of hope is over," a doll's voice pulled Him back to reality: "You've been in the library lately whenever you've been free, and it's so much fun to read?" ”

"It's not fun, either. In order to get into the job as early as possible, I have to study when I get on the boat. Although the word "learning" was mentioned in the topic, which was hated by all the students, Kelia, who was holding the raven, was obviously very interested, "And at least recently, the books that my sister arranged for me were very interesting, like reading stories." Although you have to write about your feelings after reading, there is no limit to the number of words, and you can write anything you want. ”

"But she told you to 'familiarize yourself with the Emperor and the Sacred Word,' right? Are those books that interesting? ”

"Generally speaking, this is true of my recent study goals, but in reality, most of my sister's book lists have nothing to do with religious scriptures. Her exact words were to tell me to 'know a little bit about the life of the emperor and the role he played in the development of human civilization'. ”

Raven found it boring. He was not interested in the collection of stories based on the Prophet and the Anthem. But Kylea's next sentence shattered his stereotype in an instant:

"If it goes well, I will be able to finish "Alexander the Great" today." The little girl adjusted the position of the raven in her arm, half happy, half complaining, "The language of about 2,000 A.D., even with the help of a translator, looks so awkward." I really don't know how my sister learned so much. ”

Raven looked up in disbelief.
