On the bridge, where everyone showed gloomy expressions, there was an atmosphere of silence and dullness.
Under such circumstances, Theon, who was leaning silently against the wall, slowly came to Ajid.
"...Captain, I am very sorry for being in such an atmosphere. I have something to ask of you."
"What, you are so serious about it."
"I would like you to accompany me on this matter."
Theon's words made everyone at Bridge nervous.
"...That kind of luck should never happen again. Is there any problem?"
"Yes, and more dangerous than that piece of luck."
“Is it fake?︎”
Had suffered huge losses.
Of course Anna and Akid couldn't keep calm when they heard that there was a greater threat than this.
“What’s left of Easter?”
"...not the person everyone calls Gray No. 1...no, it's God..."
"god……?"
Facing the wide-eyed Ajid, Xion nodded calmly.
"Although God's status is not high, God is God. Compared with ordinary people, there is definitely a huge difference... Moreover, everyone has hurt God. If it causes God's displeasure, the consequences will go without saying."
In the past, Hummingbird, who claimed to be a descendant of God, claimed that he did not have much power, but he also claimed that he could lead about a hundred people.
If this is the case, how many lives can Gray 1, which is considered to be superior to large invaders, claim?
Maybe it will be more than twice the number of casualties due to misfortune.
"In order to stop this, I am going to negotiate now, and I hope you can go with me as a representative of the human army."
"...Is there still room for negotiation? No, could we have negotiated in the first place?"
"It doesn't matter, I will find a way in this regard."
Although it was Xion who negotiated in the end, in order to negotiate, the people in the human army must first apologize to Gray 1.
So Theon wants to go with Ajid.
"I know, let's go."
"...Then let's fight it quickly. With all due respect, this is quite dangerous."
"I know. I don't want to sacrifice anymore."
Ajid's forceful reply made Theon smile slightly.
They nodded to each other and were about to leave the bridge when someone stopped them.
"Please wait! I can't let you do such a dangerous thing!"
Mist yelled, grabbing his arm to stop Akide.
"To be able to negotiate with someone with that kind of power..."
"Because of this, knowing that we cannot win with our current combat capabilities, we have no other option but to negotiate."
"...Then, I'll go!"
As he spoke, Mist turned his attention to Theon.
"If the most important thing for people in the human army is to apologize to Karagore 1, then there is no reason why it must be the captain. Then there is no problem for me to go, right?︎"
"impossible."
Xion's answer to Misty's words made even Achid feel shivers down his spine.
"I want to apologize, but the senior management of the group doesn't go. Isn't this too rude for people?"
"This is……"
"Besides, if you are not someone who can apologize properly, it would be meaningless. If the vice-captain wears glasses, the hostility in his heart will definitely be seen through."
"Even so! Shouldn't I be in charge here?"
Hearing Mist shout loudly, Theon closed his mouth in surprise.
"If I had sought information from you from the beginning, this incident would not have happened. ...Despite the branch chief's request, the captain judged that he should rely on your strength. It was me who hindered him. After the branch chief passed away, I I made the mistake of not relying on you, and I am the one who should be held responsible, not the lightsaber captain."
"...So you want to take responsibility yourself?"
Misty nodded at Xion's confirmation. Xion thought for a moment——
"Fool?"
"It's so boring." He said it clearly with this feeling on his expression.
Probably not expecting such a reaction, Mist instead of being angry, was stunned.
"You say it's your fault and you have to take responsibility, but you killed nearly 20,000 people, can you really take responsibility?"
Faced with Xion's question, Misty spoke immediately, but was speechless. Seeing this scene, Xion sighed helplessly.
"I cannot be responsible for what you have done and done by yourself, so please give up completely."
After saying this, Xion took Argento's arm and left.
"If this is the case, what should I do?︎It has caused such a big loss and does not make any compensation. How can I survive!"
Even Ajit, who had known her since the military academy, saw Misty showing her emotions and shouting loudly for the first time.
Although there were no tears, the voice was filled with grief.
Even Theon couldn't ignore it and turned his face to Misty.
But there was no sympathy or mercy on his face.
An expression that only made him feel annoyed.
"I have no idea."
"……Woolen cloth?"
"Your guilt has nothing to do with me, and I'm not interested either. If you can't survive, sort out the things around you, commit suicide or whatever. ... To be honest, I'm very anxious now. If anything else happens, I'll go back Ask again."
"Above!", forcibly ending the conversation, Xion finally took Ajit's arm and walked out of the bridge.
Ajit was surprised that Theon's reasoning method was more mean and complicated than expected, so he could only be led by Theon.
As the sun sets towards night, a shadow appears over the mountains.
The silhouette running in the sky with its wings spread out may look like a crow from the ground, but in fact, it is too big for a crow...
The size is more than four meters. A bird whose size did not match human common sense - a huge black bird that was originally transformed from Xion's familiar, Xi, carried Ajit and Xion and flew straight towards the village.
"Captain! Do you feel cold or painful?"︎
"no problem!"
Theon shouted so as not to be drowned out by the sound of the wind, and Ajit shouted back to him that there was no problem.
"That's good! Next, I'm going to explain the next process! No need to answer, just listen to me!"
Speaking loudly is a big burden for both Ajid and Theon.
Although it was only one-sided, it felt like Theon was under a heavy burden, but considering that he always said that he was in a hurry, Theon might want to know this and finish the matter before arriving in the village.
"I mentioned it a little bit on the bridge. Basically, I am the one who speaks. After the captain apologizes for the first time, he just needs to sit quietly next to him. In principle, there is no need to intervene. Only when the other party talks to him. Will respond.”
Although it was a rather rough explanation, it also meant that Argento had nothing to do.
(It would be better to say that it is inconvenient for me to act rashly)
Speaking of which, Ajit never considered the possibility of revenge from Gray 1. If it weren't for Theon's accusation, he would have received magical revenge that humans couldn't handle without even realizing it.
It is impossible to have a decent negotiation with such Xiaojing. Obviously giving it to Theon is the best choice.
After Xion's explanation, Ajid and others arrived at the light pillar a few minutes later.
I used to see it from a distance, but when I looked closer, I realized that this light pillar was not an object, but was made up of a large number of light particles.
The light particles seen before the pillars were formed probably created the pillars.
"So, how do we get in?"
This light beam not only blocks missiles and artillery attacks, but also blocks attacks from invaders and others.
Generally speaking, he would not let Xiaojing and the others pass easily.
"You can smash it if you want, but we are here for negotiation, so we can't come to the door too roughly, right?"
"That's true."
"So I wanted to say hi first."
As he said that, facing the beam of light, Xion took a deep breath.
"I want to talk to you! Can I meet the patron saint of this village?"
In addition to his normal loud voice, which may have been increased by magic, Theon called to the pillar of light at a volume that almost echoed through the mountains.
Although this was an appeal that might be considered dangerous if not done well, the light pillar immediately started to move.
Right in front of Theon and Ajit, the light particles forming the pillars moved around and moved left and right, creating a tunnel.
The pillars don't seem to be too thick, and you can immediately see the village at the end of the tunnel.
"Captain, are you mentally prepared?"
"Ah, you don't have to worry about me."
"Then let's go."
In this way, Ajit and Xion stepped into the village.
It was completely dark, and after walking for a while on the dim road with only moonlight, the village chief and Daisuke, who had spoken before, were already waiting there.
