Fei was in a good mood to reunite with the group leader.
Rean was in a good mood as well.
Today's strategic intentions have all been achieved.
We have captured all the hunters who can be captured, taken all the vaccinations that need to be taken, and created the atmosphere that needs to be exaggerated. There is also an unexpected surprise. If every next step can go so smoothly, the future will be reversed. The ultimate goal will also become much easier.
For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of relaxation that I wanted to get drunk and let go, just like my temporary roommate Randy.
The former Jaeger seems to have regained some of his past feelings in Happy City, doing only one thing from beginning to end.
drink wine.
Drink with the Hunter King, drink with Zephyr's cadres, drink with Rean, Sarah, Claire, and drink with people I don't know.
Just hold the red wine and champagne and blow on the bottle.
Of course, the Hunter King is in for a treat.
Otherwise, with Randy's current salary, it would still be a pain to spend money in such a high-end casino.
Everyone knows about wine, but when you drink it you don’t feel it, its stamina is really great.
Not long after returning to the room, Randy fell on the bed and fell asleep. He didn't take off his clothes and didn't take a shower. He wasted the shower room of the Derflinger.
Of course Rean wouldn't be like him.
First of all, the exercise has just begun. The first day is just a warm-up, and the main event is later.
Secondly, not all the things to be done today have been done.
There are still two important meetings, and I might have to continue drinking.
Therefore, he has always strictly controlled his alcohol intake, not daring to drink too much, let alone imitating Tova or Randy.
He skillfully helped Randy take off his coat, put away his equipment, and also poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside.
You ask why he is so proficient?
Of course I saw too many drunkards.
The master, the adoptive father, and there was Sarah on the other side of the dining car who hadn't had enough to drink and continued to drink alone - she was one of the people Rean was going to meet.
The dead of night is the best time for heart-to-heart conversations.
But before going to Sarah, Rean had to go find someone else.
A woman whose life is more entangled, more tiring, and more difficult to open her heart than Sarah.
Claire.
If he missed this opportunity, Li En didn't know if he would ever be able to listen to her reveal her true feelings again.
After peeking into the tree of cause and effect through Qiya's power, he clearly understood that fate is made up of gears. If any gear is not meshed, the trajectory of fate will deviate.
He didn't want to drift away from Claire.
After thinking for a while, he took out the remaining inventory from under the bed and put it into his coat. Rean walked out of the car seemingly casually.
Through the flow of breath, he had already captured Claire's position.
Outside the carriage, near the field tent where supplies were placed, there was another person.
Michael Irwin.
They are not only colleagues in the Railway Gendarmerie, but also close relatives.
When I walked out, I happened to hear Michael's voice:
"Enough is enough, Claire. Although you appreciate it, your actions today will only harm yourself."
Different from his usual cold and solemn attitude, at this time, Mihail felt more earnest and sincere, like a sister who couldn't be beaten or scolded, and couldn't listen to advice.
"Brother, you don't understand..."
Claire lost her usual sassiness, and there was obvious wavering on her face.
The two of them just froze.
Rean knew that this was the best time to intervene in the world, and deliberately coughed.
The two people who were immersed in their thoughts suddenly woke up and forgot to come over.
"who is it?"
"who?"
"Sorry, I didn't eavesdrop. I just felt a little stuffy in the carriage. Come out for some air. Instructor Randy drank a little too much."
Li En was prepared and dealt with it calmly.
"That guy Randolph, I shouldn't have let him out."
Michael frowned out of habit, complained to himself, and then said to Claire.
"——I gave you some advice. Think carefully about whether you should continue to be bound by what you were ten years ago."
After saying that, he strode away, leaving behind the ice girl whose eyes were changing, and the gray knight who was staring at the ice girl quietly.
It has to be said that this person usually looks inhumane, but at critical moments, his emotional intelligence is unexpectedly online.
When Claire's expression improved slightly and she raised her gaze again, Rean took out a bottle of wine and two glasses from his windbreaker as if by magic.
"Want some? I think you need this."
Claire was amused by this unexpected move: "You have been drinking for most of the night, and you are still drinking? You were not like this before."
"I think you'll need this."
"You were...not like this before."
The same words, but completely different tone.
The first time was just about drinking, but the second time was more about the person himself.
"The old me... did the Major really understand? Before I came to Thorz... So it was the same for me. I knew nothing about the Major's past. I just took it for granted that the Major would need wine."
"Yeah, we don't understand each other, maybe we don't understand each other well enough, each other's past."
Claire sighed, her beautiful eyes slowly closed, then opened again quickly, and spread her hands towards Rean.
"But you're right about one thing, I do need wine now."
Rean used the technique taught by Angelica to pop the cork of the wine bottle with his bare hands, poured a glass for Claire and himself, and took the lead in raising the glass.
Claire then clinked her glasses, drank it all in one rare gulp, and signaled Rean to pour it again.
This style is not like an ice maiden at all, but like a drunken "Zidian", although Rean thinks that when she is drinking, she should be called "Little Fire... er... big sister".
Rean continued to pour glasses for her and clink glasses.
During this time, we didn’t say anything, we just drank.
After drinking three glasses in a row, Rean poured the wine for the fourth time, and then Claire slowly spoke:
"You...don't say anything...don't you ask anything?"
"Because I'm not sure whether Major Xi wants me to ask. If so, I will be a good listener. If not, I will be a good drinking buddy."
It's not just retreat to advance, it's his true thoughts.
It's good to talk about the past as you did before coming back, but it's also good not to talk about it, but to release yourself and relieve stress through drinking.
She was really drunk, but Rean wasn't afraid. The worst he could do was stay with her all night, and then send letters to Rector and Miriam to pick up people when they needed to, and ask for leave when needed.
Although the empire is currently short of manpower, no one will doubt that Claire is slacking off. The responsibilities and pressure she has endured have long exceeded her age.
Maybe, this method would be better for Claire, who also had many things buried with no one to talk to.
Rean himself and Randy next door have verified that it is indeed effective.
Claire, on the other hand, chose the third path that Rean had never imagined.
"I want both the audience and the drinking buddies to ask and drink."
"good."
Rean doesn't talk nonsense. He strictly controls his alcohol intake just for now.
"Major, please tell me your past. I want to know."
