Mia walked alone to the auditorium of the amphitheater, which was modeled after Roman times, and sat down.
She wrote the note as Sarah asked, and handed Harrow to her as well, and then just waited for Lux to come over.
But will Lux really come here for that note?
Just thinking about what was going to happen next made Mia feel cold all over.
The small leather bag on my leg is heavy.
She didn't know whether she hoped Lux would come or not.
At this moment, with a high-pitched "Hello, Hello" sound, the red Hello rolled in from the entrance of the theater.
Mia was startled and looked over there.
Someone was hiding next to the entrance, peering into the auditorium.
The man lowered his voice and shouted her name.
"Mia!"
Mia stood up quickly.
She had heard the sound before and thought she would never hear it again.
"...Aslan?"
The young man hiding at the entrance was wearing sunglasses, but that was indeed Aslan Sala.
Thought he was dead!
It was said that he was shot down by the military on charges of defecting, but the man who came out was undoubtedly Aslan.
Mia was so happy that she momentarily forgot that Sarah told her to walk on the stage and ran straight to the entrance.
"Aslan! Are you still alive-?"
"Stop there and don't move!"
Aslan's voice was cold.
His outstretched hand was raised in front of him, the black muzzle of the gun glowing slightly.
"——Aslan?"
Mia was stunned, not knowing why he pointed the gun at her.
"We received your note and we know it's a trap."
Aslan felt the gun move forward and said as he walked: "But Mia, this is the last chance, so we are here."
Last chance?
A picture flashed through Mia's mind, that was the hand he extended to her on a rainy night.
"Aslan, we can't have a good conversation like this."
Seeing the figure walking out from behind Aslan and the voice as light as a bell, Mia seemed to receive an electric shock.
"Miss Lux...!"
The man took off his hat, revealing long, slightly curly pink hair. It was indeed Lux Klein.
This queen of the colony is also the object of Mia's past admiration but now she hates her.
From that elf-like slender posture, to the gentle smile, to everything else, it is Mia's greatest desire in this life.
Correct
"Hello, Miss Mia. It's our first time meeting you."
Lux's solemn greeting.
Two boys and girls about her age stood on either side of her with guns, as if to protect her.
"Your letter said 'Help' and also said someone was trying to kill you."
She was talking, but her voice couldn't reach Mia's ears.
"In this case, please come with me. We are here to save you."
"Then...ah..."
Mia stepped back and shook her head as if trembling.
No, this person is not Lux.
During this war, the person who followed the Speaker, comforted people, sang for them, and enlightened their hearts——
"That's me! It's all me!"
Not this person! What has this person paid?
She has not responded to people's prayers and has refused to show up. Why is she coming out now to threaten my status?
"Mia, calm down! Don't be afraid. We don't-"
Aslan stepped forward and comforted, but Mia just shouted at the top of her lungs: "I am Lux!"
The cheers, smiles and love of the crowd used to be all that surrounded her.
Mia felt that those beautiful things were matched not by others but by herself.
You have paid so much, why can't you have that?
"Isn't it? The voice is the same and the look is the same!"
People don't need that fake Lux! There is no need for two Lux Kleins in this world!
Mia rummaged in her purse angrily, took out the pistol Sarah gave her, and stretched it out towards the face that looked exactly like hers.
"——What's wrong with me being Lux?"
"Mia!"
The sound of a gunshot echoed through the theater.
The gun in Mia's hand flew away, and Aslan shot it down.
"That's enough, stop! You—"
I do not want to hear!
Raising her numb hands, Mia wanted to cover her ears, but a clear voice jumped into her ears first.
"——If you want this name and appearance, you can take it."
Mia watched in astonishment as Lux walked forward.
How could Lux give up everything she desired so easily?
Lux smiled slightly, showing a hint of sadness.
"It's just...even if you do that, you and I will not be the same person. This will not change."
"no the same····"
She and I are just different.
What I wanted was of no value to her.
At this moment, Mia realized her humbleness again.
No matter how similar her voice is, or how similar her face is, she cannot be Lux Klein...
After discovering this fact, Mia fell to the ground exhausted, her face full of despair and sadness.
Fleur, who was hiding behind and watching Mia, felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart.
I acted so seriously that I forgot about myself——
But Lux was still saying softly: "We can only be ourselves and cannot be others, but... it is precisely because of this that you and I exist here together, right?"
Mia raised her head tremblingly, and saw Lux approaching, kneeling next to her, staring at her intently: "That's why we meet others, and ourselves, isn't it?"
Lux was smiling at herself.
When Mia saw this smile on TV before, she always felt that she could never get tired of it. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt it was even more dazzling than the one on TV.
This brilliance is the strength she has developed through living out herself.
"Your dream is your own, please sing it for yourself. Dreams cannot be used by others."
Unknowingly, tears burst from Mia's eyes.
They are different.
Just now, Mia felt that she was humbler than Lux, but that was also wrong.
What Lacus means is that no one should compare each other, nor should they deny themselves. Even if it is insignificant, they should fight for their own lives with all their strength.
So Lux sings Lux's song, and Mia can sing her own song without having to assume someone else's posture or repeat someone else's words under someone's orders.
Now, Lux is here face to face with Mia, equally independent and equal.
"Come, come with us?"
Taking Mia's hand, Lux stood up.
Seeing Mia standing up in confusion, Aslan also felt relieved and no longer kept a straight face.
But just as he thought about it, a burst of nervousness flashed across his face.
"Lux!"
Aslan quickly pulled Lux over with a quick tug.
Almost at the same time, a bullet flew between Mia and Lux, and then hit the ground behind them.
The sound of gunfire shook the air of the theater.
Mia knelt in the corner and was shocked to see the second bullet passing by her. She couldn't help but look back in surprise.
——Sarah?
She forgot all about the assistant.
The one who said he would help her and encourage her to get rid of Lux.
These two shots were fired by Sarah towards Lux.
However, if the timing is not right, Mia may be shot.
"come over!"
Aslan handed Lux to another boy and rushed towards Mia who was lying on the ground.
When Mia was half dragged and half pulled away by him, another bullet bounced near her feet.
"Why? Why don't you even care about me?"
Mia couldn't help but scream and lost her voice.
Aslan dragged her to the back of the shelter and asked her to hide inside, while he leaned out and replied quickly: "Because he doesn't need you anymore! Didn't I tell you before?"
When he doesn't need you anymore, he will kill you sooner or later!
The warning at that time was mixed with the gunshots at this moment, and it sounded particularly vivid.
But Mia still couldn't believe it.
"Kira!"
Aslan shouted to several people hiding across the aisle, and another teenager responded: "Here!"
He immediately picked up Mia and rushed towards the wall over there.
After jumping out from behind the shelter, several bullets immediately followed their footsteps.
In a hurry, Mia caught a glimpse of several men running among the audience.
Bang bang bang——
Suddenly, before Mia could take a closer look, a series of gunshots rang out from above.
And those men also collapsed to the ground amid the bloody flowers, and the remaining men also hurriedly fell down to find cover.
Mia was stunned by this scene and subconsciously looked in the direction where the gunfire sounded.
Noel appeared there at some point, leaning sideways on the bunker, raising his gun and shooting at the people in black uniforms below.
A strong pushing feeling came and Mia came back to her senses.
After Aslan pushed her into the shadow, he turned around and rolled out.
Cooperating with Noel, they launched an attack on the crowd ambushing here.
