I, a counselor, just want to have a serious relationship in Ark

Lifting her pupils that flashed as deep as a sea of ​​stars for a moment, Kelsey looked at the girl Katsi who walked into her laboratory and turned on the light switch.

As she saw, although her expression had always been as determined as she had expected, there was still some uneasiness in it.

"I know, but Dr. Kelsey, I think you should pay attention to your physical condition first."

Without immediately answering the inquiry from the woman in the laboratory, Amiya first looked at the water glass in the woman's hand, and said:

"I understand that you have been hiding some things from me...but I also understand that these things you have done are not free of cost as you said, right?"

"...It's too early to say that, Amiya."

Kelsey was silent, and then she slowly shook her head:

"An important task related to the fate of Rhodes Island is coming soon. As the spiritual leader of Rhodes Island, what you have to do is not to worry about me. You need to lead Rhodes Island to complete this task with all your strength... Only in this way, we In order to gain the bargaining chip against 'that'."

"..."

Hearing the word "that" from the woman's mouth, the young Katsi girl fell silent.

"Doctor Kelsey, but I'm not sure... can't we achieve our goal in a more peaceful way? His Highness clearly said before his death that if the person in the second prophecy appears, then we will give up her." Thoughts' to follow him. His Highness's elder brother too, we still have to fight like this, whether..."

"You don't understand, Amiya. Your Highness is so kind. She couldn't see clearly her brother's inflated ambitions, so she gave such instructions before leaving."

However, where the Filin woman was sitting, she shook her head and interrupted the Cartes girl's words.Turning around, he looked at the distant sky with pupils that were as vast as the sky and the sea of ​​stars, and said:

"The regent will not give up his power because of a prophecy, just as we will not give up all the efforts we have made in history because of a prophecy. [Mandate of Heaven] has been grasped by us, we need All we have to do is to recharge our batteries and wait for the day to regain everything we have."

"...Dr. Kelsey..."

Listening to the doctor's invariable tone of voice, the girl with a little immaturity on her face could only keep silent in the end.

She is not a blind idealist, so she naturally knows the meaning of every word from the mouth of this film girl who is her guardian.But she also felt that it was not a mistake to follow what His Highness said.

Who is right or wrong?She couldn't figure it out... Maybe she was too young for many things.

"Yawn, I didn't expect to go out for a stroll at night and hear incredible gossip."

"...?"

However, just when Amiya turned to leave the laboratory with complicated thoughts in her heart, she suddenly saw a red-white figure appearing in front of her eyes.

"Miss Nian...? You haven't recovered yet, why..."

This figure is none other than the year they temporarily lived in their Rhode Island station for observation and medical treatment for various reasons.

But at this time, as an "outsider", she appeared in front of the laboratory like a ghost.The big bronze sword on his back shines in the light and shadow, which is both majestic and vigilant.

"I remember your little girl's name is Amiya, right? Don't run around outside in the middle of the night. It's the right thing to go back to the room early to rest, otherwise you won't grow taller?"

Nian didn't pay much attention to the surprise that the Carters girl saw her - anyway, she was really just lying on the bed so early and came out to walk around uncomfortably.

A certain man she had in mind didn't know where she was doing with that crow. Anyway, she didn't plan to go to bed too early, at least until he and she came back.

"Ah, Miss Nian, this..."

"Amiya, go back and rest. We have to set off early tomorrow morning to rush back to our ship, and full energy is essential."

".....Um."

The Carters girl wanted to say something more, but in the end, she nodded and quietly backed away.

She vaguely sensed that it might not be a coincidence that this woman who was their "ally" came here.

"It's really easy to pass. How can I put it? We have seen this kind of thing like supporting a puppet to become the Supreme Emperor. If you don't say a hundred times, you have done it dozens of times. You have done a good job, with an average level."

From the corner of the eye, I noticed that the Carters girl walked out of the door and completely disappeared at the end of the corridor. The unscrupulous voice of the white-haired dragon-horned girl sounded again, in front of the Filin girl with twinkling eyes.

"Let's skip the extra talk, Yazi."

Kelsey closed her eyes so that her star-like pupils would not look directly at Nian.

"It doesn't matter if you have something to say, I won't take back what I just said. We just met by chance, there is no need to dedicate everything to each other... This is a fact, isn't it."

"Ha, it's really easy to say."

As if no one else was around, Nian pulled a chair in the laboratory, and Erlang sat down on it with his legs crossed:

"Unfortunately, our husband and I didn't expect anything from you. Let me advise you, don't take yourself too seriously, lest you can't control the situation like the governor and set yourself on fire."

"..."

Kelly didn't answer.

Because she knew they were not the same path she had chosen.Excessive communication is meaningless... unless there is a huge change.

Chapter Six: The Beginning of the Journey

六话

“…”

"Aren't you talking? It's really boring."

After waiting in silence for a while, Nian didn't get any answer from the film woman with her eyes slightly closed.

I saw her eyebrows raised inadvertently, then hesitated for a moment, and finally got up from the chair.

"Then we won't waste time with you here. Anyway, we only put our words here. Whether you listen or not is none of our business. Ah, by the way, although there is a sentence that I know is inappropriate in my current state , but I still want to warn you."

He took two steps towards the door, then tilted his head again.The woman from Feilin, whose eyes fell behind and still hadn't opened her eyes, said in a cold and stern voice:

"Don't take it for granted that everything around you can be used and manipulated. Although my mother's life is approaching, she is not a bargaining chip that you can hold to force your husband."

“…”

"Even if it's a bit difficult for my old lady to kill you, it's not difficult to kill some of the people you planned to arrange before they grow up. We don't mind removing a huge harm that may be caused in the future for our husband before we die, you know? .”

clang--

Turn around, close the door, leaving only the distant metal vibration echoing in the corridor.

Is it harmful to remove....

Standing alone in the laboratory that was a little pale by the fluorescent tubes, Kelsey looked at his own face reflected on a clean and transparent metal instrument.

They were a pair of simple and wise black pupils, but what was different from usual was that there were star-like light spots shining between them.

Kelsey touched her pupils, and then saw herself reflected in the metal instrument, with an imperceptible smile on her face.

With a bit of rejoicing, but also with a bit of emotion.In the time when no outsiders are present, it is rare for her to examine her true self.

【Is it all worth it? 】

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it."

While whispering to himself, out of habit, Kelsey turned off the lights in the laboratory.

Because...the harm they want to eradicate now is far from their turn, isn't it?

.......

Mostima's reaction was richer than Xu You imagined.

It may be because his understanding of her is still limited to the lines of words he has seen in the past. He always thought that a person like Mostima who has seen through the ups and downs of the world would not have any drastic changes in emotion.

But unfortunately, he forgot that both she and he are essentially a "life" that coexists with seven emotions and six desires.

Just like the palms that are being held tightly.

He probably understood the reason why this fallen angel would follow him with all his might.

"Look, Dana,"

Pointing to the rare night sky that is not covered by Originium dust, it looks clean and clear, and follows the passing star, moving from one side to the other.

"When I was not out of Rutland, I often heard the priests in the church say that people's past is like a shooting star from the sky. Although it is bright, it is fleeting after all."

The streets of the urban area at night appear quiet and leisurely.

Pedestrians who come and go occasionally do not pay attention to each other, and the street lights that are lit all night will guide every returning guest on the way home from beginning to end.

It was a pair of unobtrusive men and women, walking until they reached the end of the trip.

"He said that people should always keep their heads up and keep their eyes on the front. Our Almighty Lord will show the direction to all who obey His teachings. As long as we walk on, the road will be clear."

He raised his hand up to his collarbone, and pinched the hanging black cross.In this dark night, the ring above the woman's head was not as bright as her brethren.

At least without the foil of street lights, they may not be able to clearly see the way back when walking on the street.

"I used to believe in such words... After all, the rings that we Sakota people have shown since birth are the best evidence of the teachings. We only need to follow the direction illuminated by the lights to Before that, one day it will reach the shore of redemption."

"I once obeyed and practiced it, but unfortunately, even such a bright and dazzling light still failed to guide me from making mistakes...I think I was taken back by the Lord, not just because I violated His There must be some reason for being too obsessed with using that light to look forward to something.”

“…”

The fallen angel named Mostima spoke slowly, and beside her, a man walking forward with an umbrella stick followed quietly.

Along the way, she said a lot.The emotional fluctuations contained in it are more intense than ever before.

"I am not reconciled, I am not angry. After the Lord took away my light without saying a word, I tried again and again to get that light back. I did many acts of betraying the Lord...this The authority of black and white is the best proof. I had hoped to use them to reverse my fate and allow the Lord's gift to come to me again."

The aura of the Sakota is special, not some illusory and untouchable symbol.

Just by stretching out a little bit, every Sakota can touch the thing that once illuminated his way in the dark... Just like what Mostima deliberately showed this man, she reached out and knocked Knocking on his jet-black ring, a trace of helpless self-mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Those who are used to walking in the light will one day be more afraid of the dark because they lose the light.This is not just talk, it is an indisputable fact.

"As for the result and the process, Dana, you have also seen it.... You are obsessed with the past, hoping to regain your past self, but you made such a pathetic and ridiculous move on impulse. If you hadn't agreed to it, Dana My request to follow you, I am afraid that I have already stepped into the darkness because of the loss of light."

It seems to be speaking to the man around him, and it seems to be stating to himself.

Mostima counts herself lucky that she did not end up in the abyss of self-destruction like so many depraved Sakotas in Nalatran's history.

Why?Mostima felt that there was no need to say more... She now had a more dazzling light, not only the future she had feared, but also the past and present.

"Miss Mostima, I have a question, I wonder if I can ask it."

"Um....?"

"Maybe this question offends you a bit, but I still want to be sure from you... Are you so convinced that what I did and did brought you out of the 'darkness'?"

"Daina, you..."

Hearing the man's words, Mostima was taken aback for a rare moment.

She never thought that the man would deny what she said... Seeing that the man's expression hadn't changed much from before, she was suddenly a little uneasy.

She didn't understand why he responded to her like this... Could it be that there was something wrong with what she said before?

"Hehe, please don't misunderstand, Ms. Mostima. I just want to say that I know the meaning that my actions can bring. Although it may have a slight impact on you, miss, it will not have the power to turn evil into good Turn sorrow into joy.”

Seeing the rare surprise in Mostima's eyes, Xu You showed a peaceful smile that was probably a few breaths late.

So far, he has basically solved a question that has troubled him for a long time... That is the reason and purpose of this fallen angel lady who insists on following him.

"You can regain the way forward, I think it should be more due to yourself. At best, I played a trivial guiding role... To be honest, even if I didn't, Miss Mostima by your side Sooner or later, your friend will shine light into your heart."

After deliberating for a moment, Xu You responded to this fallen angel.

He knew early on that the heart of this fallen angel was far less indifferent and distant than her appearance.

Compared with "hesitation", her inner feelings are more like a "contradiction" that sees through the essence of both sides but does not know how to choose.

Her experience is very similar to her own. As a person who has lost a loved one, she will naturally develop into two different extremes when dealing with everything in the world.

One is that I now treat every different life and soul in the world with a cherished attitude.

The other one is what Mostima did before, stripping away everything entangled in the world with an attitude of alienation.

They are all to make the soul no longer hurt, but through different methods.Different routes lead to the same goal, and their hearts are equally soft, so they are destined not to step into the "darkness" that tortures them.

"Your experience is far richer than this one, and you know much more about the places you have been to than this one. I believe that you who understand the beauty of the world like this will never step into the darkness that is like walking on thin ice."

".....But....."

"There is nothing but, this is an established fact. I still hope that one day I will go out with you, Ms. Mostima, to travel around the world. In other words, it is not bad for me to follow you."

The tall building symbolizing the place of residence in front of them is close in front of them. The two of them who walked leisurely can be considered to have reached the end of their journey back.

Gradually let go of the holding hands, and the remaining warmth of each other still remains on them.This fallen angel who was struggling in the future and the past blinked her deep blue eyes.

He didn't tell himself which was more important, but instead, he answered what she should do now, and how.
