"Dad...Mom..." It was almost early in the morning. Hayate was struggling on the bed, his body covered in cold sweat. He hadn't had this dream for a long time since he came to the Night Raid Team. Now, this nightmare is like a nightmare. Wrap myself tightly again...
As if being attracted, the buds under the moonlight moved slightly, and before long, they had grown into a large emerald tree, shining with a strange green light, which seemed to add a bit of vitality to the land.
"It's that dream again..." At dawn, he opened his eyes suddenly and sighed softly...
"What? Hayate is gone?" Early in the morning, after hearing Gumen's anxious report, Captain Hecang frowned: "Why did he leave so suddenly?"
"Gumen member, did he leave anything behind?"
"Yes, he left a note on the table." Gumen handed the note in his hand to captain Wakura. The captain took it and looked at it. There was a crooked line written on it: "I want to go out for a walk alone." Walk."
"Is he going to be okay?" Shiori was very worried.
"Do you want me to go find..."
"No need!" The vice-captain interrupted Gumen and refused categorically: "We all have things to be busy with now. He is almost eighteen years old after all, and he is a fit person. What can he do? thing!"
"But..." Gumen wanted to say something more, but was choked back by the deputy captain's sharp eyes.
Captain Wakura blinked his eyes and coughed twice to lighten the atmosphere: "Then let's do this for now, everyone should be busy first."
"Well..." Gumen had no choice but to sit down and start working, but he kept thinking about Gao Feng and was afraid that something might happen to him.
On the other side, Gale left the base and walked aimlessly. Passing by yesterday's battlefield, he saw a large green tree dozens of meters high, which made him stop and look up at it with some confusion.
"Isn't it almost winter now?"
"Wait a minute..." He looked at the dead forest not far away that was crushed by Fesbeer last night. There were broken branches and leaves on the ground. This tree was completely incompatible with them...
"So there is this tree here?" He scratched his head, without any thoughts or any more thoughts, turned around and left, but he just felt something strange.
After he left, the tree shone again, and countless narcissus-like white flowers quickly appeared on the branches. They bloomed in an instant, and then slowly fell to the ground under the blowing of the wind. After landing, these beautiful flowers instantly Just like ginseng fruit, it burrowed into the soil and disappeared.
After walking for a long time, he no longer cared about any scenery on the road. Before he knew it, he had returned to his home.
"Hey, Hayate, I haven't seen you for a long time." Hearing the movement, Aunt Furukawa from upstairs stuck her head out of the window and greeted her warmly.
"Well, long time no see, Aunt Furukawa." He raised his head politely and said hello.
"What were you doing? You haven't come back for so long."
"Ah..." Gao Feng scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. He explained rather guiltily: "I was delayed because of something outside..."
Aunt Furukawa still likes to share things as before, and she started to talk: "Let me tell you, a young man who is more powerful than you came here before and said he was your cousin, and he wanted to come to your house to have a look. How can I I can believe it. After questioning him later, he said that he is from the Night Raid Team, and I don’t understand it even more. What does the Night Raid Team have to do with you?"
Listening to Aunt Furukawa's vivid narration, Hayate probably guessed that Gumen must have bumped into Aunt Furukawa when he came to get the medicine for him...
"Hayate, you won't join the Night Raid Team, will you?"
"Uh..." Hayate was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No."
"I think so. I didn't see your name on the interview list published a few days ago. How could you be related to the Night Raid Team..."
"Well, thank you Aunt Furukawa." Hayate smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Aunt Furukawa.
Their family was really kind to him, and they always thought of him even when he was away, which made him feel extra warm.
"It's okay, it's okay. By the way, Hayate, how long will you stay here this time? You won't have to move, will you?"
"Uh..." He shook his head and did not answer directly. He hadn't thought about these things yet.
Aunt Furukawa thought he meant he wouldn't move, so she felt relieved and greeted warmly: "Have you eaten? Do you want to come and eat together?"
"No, I've eaten." Hayate smiled politely and waved goodbye: "Then I'll go home first, Aunt Furukawa."
"Um."
When he returned to the room, he was very pleasantly surprised. Everything here had been tidied up, things were neatly arranged, and the floor was clean and almost spotless.
The half mirror hanging in front of the sink has also been replaced with a complete one, with new toiletries placed underneath...
"Aunt Furukawa and the others are still alone..." He was very surprised, but felt guilty and couldn't take other people's things for free.
He found a bag and picked up the toiletries, walked out and climbed to the second floor, and knocked politely: "Aunt Furukawa."
"Hayate, what's wrong?" Aunt Furukawa opened the door, and the smell of food hit her face. The family was having lunch now.
He held back his saliva and asked, "Aunt Furukawa, did you buy these and put them at my place?"
"Huh?" Aunt Furukawa only glanced at it and shook her head firmly: "No, don't even think about it, why is your Aunt Furukawa willing to buy such expensive things?"
"It should have been bought by the young man who came before," Uncle Furukawa and their young son were sitting at the dining table. Uncle Furukawa thought of what happened that day:
"He came twice. The first time he went in empty-handed, and then came back again carrying something. It should be those."
"I see..." Then it can be confirmed that these are all bought by Gumen...
"Then I'll give these to you, I don't have much use for them." Hayate handed the bag in his hand to Aunt Furukawa, but she pushed it back: "No, Hayate, since it was a kind gift from others, you can't help but treat it well." Cherish it!”
"But……"
"Stop it, Hayate, let's come in and have something to eat together!" Before he could refuse, Aunt Furukawa pulled him into the room.
"It's really no need..."
"What are you afraid of? It's just about having an extra pair of chopsticks. Xiao Xi, step aside to make room for your brother Gale..."
"good!"
He could not resist the enthusiasm of their family and was brought into their simple and happy atmosphere. Although the food was simple, it was so delicious, both to them and to himself...
After finishing the meal, he quietly put the bag under the table before leaving. However, he did not hide from Aunt Furukawa's sharp eyes. They pushed and pushed it around. In the end, they couldn't resist Hayate and reluctantly agreed to keep part of it and left the rest. Still let Hayate take it back.
Putting the things back on the sink, Hayate felt much better. He took a long breath and looked at himself in the mirror with a smile. For a moment, he felt a little strange. Then he smiled with relief. He obviously liked himself better the way he was now. …
As for the nightmare from the past...
He turned to look out the window. There were only a few dispensable leaves on the two trees, and they were completely bald.
It seems...as if it is my own life...
He sighed softly, suppressed his smile, opened the door and went out for a walk.
Before he had gone far, a familiar voice called him from behind.
"Ah, please wait!"
He stopped and turned around to see a woman wearing ordinary business attire. He felt that she looked familiar but could not remember clearly, so he asked:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Hello," the woman bowed slightly to express her gratitude: "You may not remember me. You saved me and my child from the collapsed wall last time."
Hearing what she said, Hayate suddenly remembered that it was her...
It was also on that day that I got the light in my hand now...
The woman in front of me is much more beautiful than the dusty face she had back then. No wonder I didn’t recognize it...
"It's okay, that's what I should do." Hayate nodded slightly.
"Team Gumon," seeing that Gumon had been absent-minded, Vice Captain Saijo sighed softly and handed him an empty can: "The coffee beans for making coffee are gone. Please go out and buy them."
Gumen didn't react for a while, and he didn't understand: "Huh? It wasn't just yesterday..."
"Ahem!" Seeing Saijo's intention, Captain Wakura coughed twice and quietly put his coffee beans under the table: "I have already finished the ones I bought yesterday, Gumen."
After saying that, he blinked towards Gumen.
Only then did Gumen realize: "Oh...oh!! Okay!!!"
He reached out and took the jar: "I'll come as soon as I go!"
"Remember to ask for the one on the Dinggui Street side!" Shizhi confirmed the location of Hayate and conveyed it to Gumen who was about to go out.
"Well, thank you!!"
Seeing Gumen leaving, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, then coughed twice pretending to be calm and continued busy with what they were doing.
"Thank you very much!" Bowing deeply to Hayate again, Hayate hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up: "It's okay, it's okay. I hope everyone is safe."
"Please come to my house if you have the chance." Before leaving, she still did not forget to invite Gale.
"Well, thank you, of course." Farewell to the mother, Hayate smiled slightly.
He was very happy when she said that mother and son were safe and had returned to normal life.
The impulsive actions I made at that time have now reaped the most beautiful fruits!
Although she repeatedly invited him to visit her home now, he still refused because he had something to do. He didn't want to trouble them too much. After all, he just did what he thought was right. Even so, she still gave herself He left his contact information and said he could find her at any time.
He shook his head helplessly, turned around and was about to leave, but saw a familiar face again.
"The solitary door..."
After slowly saying his name, Hayate was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After all...he ran out of the Freedom Fortress alone without saying anything...
"Will you come with me to buy coffee beans?" Gu Men smiled slightly as he shook the empty bottle in his hand.
"good……"
"What's wrong? Do you feel better after taking a walk?" After buying coffee beans, the two of them walked down the street together, Gu Men asked first.
"Well..." Hayate nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Gumen asked again: "What, are you worried about something?"
"We are partners, right? Partners should share worries and solve problems for their partners. Can you tell me about it?"
"Gu Men..." Gao Feng turned his head slightly, saw Gu Men's sincere eyes, and finally spoke slowly:
"I...heard the conversation between you and Vice Captain Saijo last night..."
"Huh?" Gumen blinked, seeming to have guessed the reason, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"We will try our best..."
"Well...I believe you..."
Gumen patted his shoulder gently and comforted him in his own way.
"Ah, someone is going to jump off the building!!!" Just as the two of them were silent, a scream came from next to them.
"Huh?" The two hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a passerby looking at the top of the building in front of him with his mouth wide open. Then everyone around him stopped and looked up together, following them. Looking around, I could vaguely see a figure on the top floor! !
"Not good!!!" As soon as Gumen took a step forward, Hayate rushed over first, took out the shock wave launcher from his bag, and released a signal flare into the sky. The Stone Wings flew quickly, flashing blue light. He sucked the strong wind into it, dyed it red, and flew towards the roof of the building like a fighter plane. Gumen also hurriedly accelerated towards the building.
Putting your eyes on the roof of the building, it was very empty. Only the boy in school uniform stood here. He stood on the edge of the rooftop. If he took another step forward, he would fall straight down...
Tears shone at the corners of his eyes, and his small eyes were almost blurred by the bags under his eyes. He was so devastated that he didn't know what he had gone through. He was sobbing sadly...
More and more people gathered below, and the police also came after hearing the news, but it was too late. Before they could even lay the mat, the young man closed his eyes and jumped forward with all his strength...
"No!!!" The wings of stone flew over the sky, and the strong wind flew down from it. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar. Half of his body was suspended in the air with him, and his feet were separated and stuck on the eaves. The edges were rubbed with blood again, staining the thin pants with blood.
"Uh..." Hayate tried his best and grabbed his collar with his other hand, trying to pull him up.
"Ahhhhh!! So high!!!" The boy opened his eyes and saw that he was hanging in the air. The ground below was so far away. He was frightened. He was so scared that he kept shouting loudly. Crying, the whole body shook and struggled, making the wind more and more unbearable.
"Don't move! You'll be fine!!" Hayate held his collar tightly and tried to pull him up, but was unable to do so. His arm was scratched when he swooped down just now, and blood flowed down his face. The arms slowly flowed down...
"blast!!!"
