What Ajit associates with Theon Istar is the image of a boy that can be seen everywhere.
If that were the case, the hummingbird's advice would be impossible and would be laughed off.
However, Xiaojing also knew that it was not just that...
The way the flaming serpent smiled in front of the upper level remained vividly in Ajid's memory.
If the will to fight at that time will be directed towards himself, is there any way to resist Aki and the others?
"At least don't do anything weird until the changes in the south are solved? Don't get me involved and get killed."
Xiaojing felt that Hummingbird's words seemed a bit far away, and her rest time left a new uneasiness.
The sun has completely set.
In the room, Theon let out a huge yawn.
This is the room assigned to Theon. Of course, there is usually no one else, but now he is a roommate for a limited time.
"Lord Theon, may I ask you a question?"
Hummingbird said with a subtle expression.
Nonetheless, the image of him sitting on the swing at the top of the birdcage, swaying slightly, was laughable because of the contrast, but Theon completely covered up this feeling and just nodded.
“Why is Your Excellency so supportive of people?”
"I'm human too."
"...It doesn't matter if the other party is a human. To me, this claim is unreasonable."
"Do you think I don't understand something like this?" Hummingbird showed a dissatisfied expression, and I smiled bitterly.
"I'm not looking down on you, at least I'm a human being..."
"...Do you want to be a human being?"
"It's not that I want to have it, but my parents are both humans. I have survived as a human being among humans. How can I talk about anything other than human beings like this?"
After hearing Xion's words, Hummingbird opened his mouth in shock.
That look was so stupid that he burst out laughing naturally.
"From a biological point of view, I am also a human being. Although I am a bit strange myself, I feel that my views and ways of thinking about things are not much different from humans."
"Having said that...but the power in your body is too powerful."
"That's that, this is that. No matter what others think, I still have to be a human being and stay a human being for the rest of my life."
The hummingbird would certainly disagree.
Despite this, he seemed to sense that Theon had no intention of changing his mind, so he stopped pestering him any further.
"By the way, what did you and the captain say during the day?"
"That's not worth your attention."
"I think it should be my decision~~"
"…………"
As long as there is a slightly threatening tone, it will be easier to understand. Looking at the trembling hummingbird, Xion roughly understood what was going on.
"have a finger in the pie."
"...I didn't say anything big. I just advised you not to look down upon you too much."
"What do you mean I'm not human?"
"I said you are not an ordinary person, but that's all...because it's impossible for me to correctly understand your true identity."
Hummingbird seems not to apologize for his behavior and remains arrogant.
Even when the frightened Theon glared at him, his attitude did not change. Is it because of his pride as a member of God?
"And, needless to say, the man named Guangmu seems to have noticed it too."
"……real?"
"He seems to have realized that even though he is at the bottom, his status is higher than that of me, the immortal couple."
I'm surprised, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was Ajit who was inspired by details that Theon overlooked.
Besides, it’s not like Ajid and the others have no doubts about Xion calling himself a human.
The conclusion was that hummingbirds should not be so concerned about being known about their petty thefts.
"Having said that, you still dare to talk about other people's affairs casually!"
There is another difference between losing nothing and doing unnecessary things.
The fire under the birdcage was already burning brightly.
The birdcage is made of metal, so it will naturally heat up when exposed to flames.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! It's true that I'm meddling in my own business. I'm really sorry. If you burn me to death now, you too..."
"...Nothing bothers you, right?"
Information provided by "Witch Grocery Store".
In terms of combat effectiveness, there is no need for Hummingbird.
Thinking about it calmly, there is no problem if there are no hummingbirds.
"...Maybe that's true!"
"Ah, you admit it."
Although he has a strong self-esteem, he seems to be able to see these things calmly.
I was startled by his reaction and extinguished the flame under the birdcage.
"...Sigh, it's too much to kill someone so easily."
"It would be better if you reconsider..."
"But there's no next time. Next time, I'll make it into yakitori in three seconds and eat it... but it looks awful, so throw it away."
"...It's not that I want to be eaten, I just feel very humiliated."
Looking at the frightened hummingbird, he snorted.
"In short! I am human! There is nothing better than me, and nothing worse than me. Please take care of me."
"...I understand. I will not mention this matter again in the future."
"Okay, then I'll go to bed."
Say goodnight and lie in bed, and the Sandman will soon attack you.
Snapping his fingers and turning off the lights in the room, Xion instantly fell asleep.
“…Some things, no matter how much you wish for them, just can’t come true.”
Hummingbird said to himself in the unknown shelter of Theon who was completely asleep.
"Do you really believe that your wishes as a human being will come true?"
No one answered this question.
The inspection of "Misty" went smoothly and no problems were found.
Since there is no delay in the plan, it is expected to be sailing the day after tomorrow.
So, it's almost time to receive the investigation report from "Witch Grocery Store", but I haven't received any contact from them yet.
"Looking back, I still haven't decided how I'm going to receive the contact."
Facing Xion who was called to the captain's room, Ajit frowned.
I seemed to suffer from a slight self-loathing about the fact that I had forgotten to discuss these most basic things with him, but I guess that this oversight could not be helped when things happened so suddenly.
Regardless of this for now, let’s talk about the contact information for “Witch Grocery Store”.
"How about I contact you?"
"Would it give the impression of being rushed?"
"He's not the kind of person who only plays tricks."
Although women are a bit sensitive to the topic of age, Miranda, who has lived for more than a thousand years, is basically a broad-minded and tolerant person.
There is no need to proactively ask about the situation.
"Instead of us worrying here, we should contact them directly."
"Yeah, I agree with that."
Akid nodded to the suggestions of Anna and Misty sitting on both sides.
"Well, Istar, I'm sorry, please contact me first..."
As if he was interfering with Aki's instructions, an electronic sound was sent out to inform the communication.
Ajit politely declined to Xion before agreeing to the letter.
"This is the main security squad of the Miami base. Captain Ajit Lightsaber, can I take a moment of your time?"
"It's okay, what's the matter?"
"The luggage sent to the captain has arrived. There was no special request in advance..."
Most people who belong to the human army live in residential areas on battleships or bases.
Related to this, letters, goods sent by acquaintances, goods purchased through mail order, etc. can be sent to the base, but in this case, an application must be made before the goods arrive: "There will be such goods arriving on this schedule." look.
This is for safety reasons in case dangerous items are delivered.
This time it seems that the confirmation was done because the unapplied goods were sent to Aki. It is unlikely that Aki has forgotten these procedures.
In fact, he himself was tilting his head, seemingly clueless about the shipment.
"I'm sorry, can you tell me who the sender is?"
"The sender is..."Witch Grocery Store", it seems to be from England."
"…………Woolen cloth?"
Xiaojing made a surprised sound when she heard the name on the phone.
Xion was also stunned.
"What's going on?" Ajit turned his attention to Xion.
With a "No, I don't know" meaning, Theon shook his head with all his strength.
Then "Really?" he asked again with his eyes, and I nodded slightly, which meant "probably".
"I'm sorry, it should be the luggage that was sent here... Because it's something special, just in case, I'll pick it up. Please don't touch too much luggage, just wait."
