"Nana, what are you doing here? Are you going to sneak in here? Are you really a spy?"Wu Ming, who retracted his hand, asked curiously.

"No, I was just asked to deliver food to the idiots who were imprisoned nearby. I was just on my way here."I shook my head

"Commission? Do you know anyone here?"Wu Ming tilted his head.

"Um....The guy I just met today is the fat guy with the glasses. Do you remember?"

After hearing my description, Wuming thought about it carefully.

"Ah, I see, he's the one with that idiot who rushed out to save people, right?"Wu Ming clapped his hands

"Yes, that's that person. I'm going to give him food next."

"Huh~ Then I’m going too!"After hearing this, Wuming expressed that he also wanted to go.

"That doesn't matter, are you interested in him too?"

"Um"

"Let's go then"

"Okay, Xiaobai, come here!"Wu Ming stretched out his hand towards the white falcon on the side.

Chirp~~

Xiao Bai flew towards Wu Ming very obediently.

Wu Ming looked at me with the corner of my mouth twitching, and suddenly thought of,

"Speaking of Yue, you seem to know Xiaobai?"Wu Ming asked as he walked forward.

"Ang, this bird was originally following me, but I separated from this guy after a trip to the out-of-control Juncheng."I looked at Bai Falcon with an unhappy expression.

"How did you meet this reserve grain?"I looked at Wuming

"What I said was that when Juncheng was driving on the plain, Xiaobai fell on the railing outside the car door observation hole, so I picked it up easily."Wu Ming held Bai Falcon in his arms, caressing him gently while recalling

"But then again, what is a food reserve?"

"Oh, this guy is my food reserve!"I stretched out my thumb and pointed crookedly at the white falcon in Wuming's arms.

When the white falcon heard me calling it that again, it turned its head and wanted to peck my thumb with its beak, but I had already withdrawn my hand before that.

"If you gave this name, no wonder Xiaobai would run away."....The name you chose is not very good either!

"That's not this guy's name, and I didn't raise this guy."I put my hands

"well? Isn't it? I always thought you belonged to Xiaobai's previous master."Wuming said in surprise.

Huh?....How come I didn't know about this?

And you are already in your second term?

"I met this guy by accident."I thought about what happened when I met this guy.

"Let’s hear it! I really like listening to stories."Wuming seemed to be very interested, and his eyes seemed to be looking at me twinklingly.

Looking at these big red eyes, I smiled and said slowly:"I want to think about it....At the beginning, I was catching rabbits with traps in the forest....."

After that, we walked and I told Wuming my story. Although it had changed a lot, the pace of the two of them was not that fast. It felt like they were just wandering around on an outing. Wuming would occasionally turn around in circles to let himself go. The yukata floated up, and at this time, the bell installed on the heel of the clog under Wuming's feet would make a series of crisp sounds.

In this way, we chatted all the way to our destination.

"This should be it."

I saw a row of wooden houses on a high stone platform in the distance. Each wooden house was divided into four cabins. Each cabin had a wall made of wooden fences, and the exit was also here, but There were handles on both sides of the railing.

We soon found Ikoma in one of the large wooden houses. He was the only one in the originally four-room cell, and there was a drowsy samurai guarding him behind him.

I saw There was a glimmer of light on Ikoma's hand. If you look closely, it should be a piece of iron wire. He thought he was about to unlock the door and leave, but every time he wanted to take action, the guard would always turn his eyes and look at him.

"whispering sound!"

It seemed that after several attempts, Ikoma simply sat cross-legged against the wall on one side.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and Ikoma immediately leaned in front of the railing and looked. The guard had fallen to the ground.

"It's now!"Ikoma immediately took out the wire hidden in the small tool bag in his hand and stretched it into the keyhole outside.

"What if you say you come out?"

"Yes, you look like a technician here, and there is no way you can run away from this inn."

Suddenly two people's voices appeared in front of him. Ikoma was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand and even the wire fell to the ground.

"Yes, it's you two?"

"Yo, we're here to visit you."I said and sat down cross-legged facing Ikoma.

"visit?"Ikoma was very puzzled.

"I was asked by Zhansheng to give it to you."As I said that, I took out a pile of food in the bag behind me.

"How could a humble student have money to buy so much food?"Ikoma obviously doesn't believe it.

"I bought this. The only thing that the student gave me was the two bamboo leaf bags. The rest was bought by me."

"you? Why?"

"Um...Just think of it as reward." I thought and gave this answer

"remuneration?"

"Well, I saw the things in your workshop and learned a lot, so I thought this was your kindness to me, so I bought these things for you."

You can't say that I don't like eating it....

Besides, I really think it is right to repay kindness with kindness.

After hearing this, Ikoma took the food and started eating slowly. Looking at the person in front of me, I felt that he seemed to have changed a bit, so I asked:"What did you want to go out for just now? Don't tell me that you were just going out." We won't believe you if you are looking for food."

Ikoma swallowed a mouthful of food and replied:"I have been here for a day, and I have thought about it. You are right, what I need now is strength, so I I want to complete the penetration!"

"What is Guantong?"Wu Ming tilted his head and asked.

"Are you talking about that cylinder-like thing? Is that what you went out for?"

"That's right!"

"I also looked at it. Your one was not very good. It just knocked the steel plate away. I can see that the force of that thing is very strong, but it is too scattered."

"I've thought about this too...."Ikoma was a little disappointed when he heard this

"So I bring this to you too."I took out various drawing tools of Ikoma from under the windbreaker behind me. These were put into the wrench before I set off.

"Where did you just put these things? Why didn't you notice when I was sitting on you?"Wuming looked at the pile of things I took out and asked in confusion as he squatted aside.

"It's always there, haven't you noticed?"I chuckled and looked at Wuming.

In response, Wuming stretched out his palm and gently pushed my head.

"For now, you should just stay here honestly. If you run away, you will probably be recognized as Kabane. You won't have to study the cannon. What will greet you is probably the lead bullet of the steam canister."I handed the tool to Ikoma and said at the same time

"Speaking of which, you also picked up pieces of Kabane's meat."Wu Ming turned to look at Ikoma.

"Do you want to study that?"

"Um...."

"What an interesting person. You actually want to take the initiative to get in touch with things that others hate."Wu Ming chuckled.

"And you still want to go to that suspected infected person today, aren't you afraid of death?"

"I....Of course I'm afraid, but I can't not save him just because I'm afraid! Maybe he is just an innocent person!"

"Isn't it normal to be afraid? Didn't you see that the people around you and your friends were afraid to move? It would be wise to just stand and watch at this time, otherwise you wouldn't be here now."I interrupted after listening to the conversation between the two, with a playful expression on my face.

"That's just an excuse! If you don’t do it because you’re afraid, nothing will change!"

"So what do you want to change?"I asked back

"I....If you want to change this human being, you can only live in this station...."It can be heard that Ikoma's ideals are very clear, but his voice seems to lack confidence.

"But everyone else seems to want to stay here and not want to get out."

"That's why they are cowards! What a bunch of cowards!"

"But in this world, only cowards can survive. People like you will always be the first to die in this world."I continued to state the facts

"....."

I understand what Ikoma looks like in the eyes of others.

He yearns for freedom, maintains humanity and reason, but does not have the power to protect it. People around him think that it is normal to become timid. , then people who originally thought bravery was normal are abnormal in their eyes.

And these people will gradually be assimilated by the people around them and will think that timidity is normal.

I looked at Ikoma who was very disappointed,

"So if you want to fulfill your great dream, you better get stronger first."

"And aren’t you studying it now? Since you're going to be locked up anyway, you don't have to worry about renovating the factory or your workshop. Wouldn't it be better to do research in peace without being disturbed in there?"I opened my arms and gestured to the wooden prison where Ikoma was.

Ikoma lowered his head and picked up his drawing under the light of the light on the side.

"Maybe you are right.....good! Then I will do it for everyone to see! They think we can only defend, so I have to prove that we have the power to confront Kabane and kill them."After a short period of disappointment, Ikoma became a lot more determined. He stood up with the drawings and shouted loudly.

"It seems that you have figured it out, so we will leave. It seems that Zhan Sheng still has work, so I may not be able to see you until noon tomorrow."I stood up and looked at the distance and said

"I know, thank you again"

"Hum, then I have to leave, Wuming, where are you?"I looked at Wuming,

"Ha~~I'm tired too, let's go back."Wuming yawned and rubbed his eyes.

I looked back at Ikoma, but he had already started working.

The two of us left the cell and stood at the intersection ready to say goodbye.

"Are you going back to Sifangchuan Mansion?"

"Yes, how about you?"

"my words..."I thought about it. It seems that there is no such thing as a hotel in this era. People in Juncheng who pass by all rest directly in Juncheng.

"I'll just find a place to rest."

"If you have nowhere to go, you can go back with me. It should be fine for two girls to live in one room."Wuming pointed his chin with his index finger and looked up at the moon and said.
