Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

a long time,

He let out a sigh of relief.

[Since the appearance of the Ferris wheel, there has been a legend that every compartment of the Ferris wheel is filled with happiness.Any wish you make at the top of the Ferris wheel will come true...]

So, what about yourself?

Glorious Rutland, no one can stop the gunfight: 24 Ravshini longs for peace of mind

There are more or less problems with the girl named Ravshini, one of her own tribe.

Maybe he just noticed it was a little strange at first, but after spending a few months together in Rutland, Ozwald was basically convinced.

This child never joins in any fun or causes trouble, and always follows quietly.

However, if her quietness that didn't like to join in the fun was similar to a part of herself that liked quiet places and was willing to read there all day long, Ozwald wouldn't say anything.But Lafxini is too quiet, even to the point of being inconspicuous.

If you don't ask her to help with something, then when you are busy with the work at hand, she will lean or sit in the corner and watch your busyness without saying a word, just like a person who has not been busy. A girl doll that is wound up and dressed in a beautiful dress.

Frankly, this is not a good thing.

At least Ozwald didn't think so.

Especially when the overall environment was not turned into a cesspool, the red dragon once claimed to be two-dimensional. From Ravshini's almost clinging to her side, she can associate it with the likes of Icarus, Shiina Mashiro and others... pet girls who only obey the orders of their 'owner' and don't think about anything other than their owners.

Perhaps in comics or stories, especially daily dramas, people would find her very cute because of her clinginess, and even wish they could interact with the male protagonist more often;

But when such an example happens around us, as a self-proclaimed normal person, what he will feel is not bullshit 'this candy is so sweet', but only sadness.

Because this means that she doesn’t even have her own likes or dislikes, and her concept of being an individual with her own self is not obvious. She is not even as good as a child who has already learned to talk. At least they will laugh at fun things because of pain. And shed tears and ask for comfort from mom and dad - not to mention that Mashiro Shiina and Icarus can clearly express their emotions as the plot progresses; even at the beginning of the story, their 'ruthlessness' It's just because he doesn't know it yet that he seems a little dull, but he still has a hobby of baumkuchen and watermelon.

But, does Ravshini have a child?

The answer is no.She didn't even have this preference that she wasn't aware of yet.

Even if she could lie on Oswald's body because of the hot weather like before, enjoying the coolness after the heat was dissipated and showing a comfortable expression, but that was just the basic feeling of living things corresponding to changes in the external environment. Lack of self as a human being.

She will feel reassured by the presence of Oswald, but this is because she has a serious lack of security at the same age, so she is close to Oswald who will protect her and is completely different from her sister; it is like the suspension bridge effect or Stockholm Synthesis levy such a principle

The difference is that the perpetrators who were originally given bullying and comfort were separated into two independent and different individuals; this also made Ravshini feel surrendered to one and obsessed with the other.But apart from that, she seems to be repelling the very thing of communicating with others, a physical, spontaneous and subjective repulsion...

People can't live like this...

Ozwald has always liked the words Lupine III said to Daisuke Jigen in S5.

[Life is not a story, so we have to live it as a story.

In this story called life, the only audience is yourself. As the protagonist, you are also the audience.So you should have expectations for yourself;

When you are in despair, you can expect to see a turning point in the exciting music, fight back and turn defeat into victory.When he failed, he cursed "Oh my God, I'm waiting for this in vain", then cheered up and continued to prepare - until the story also came to an end when the audience left.]

Ozwald has always lived like this, treating himself as his own protagonist, and the same goes for using magic to switch intracranial BGM; because he never wants his life to become meaningless even to himself.

And like Ravshini, she always puts all her eyes on others, looking at others but ignoring her own life, letting other people's orders become her own desires... This is still true in the movie "Life" A life in which one regards oneself as a supporting role is a little sad.

That's why I came up with the idea of ​​letting her find something she likes.

After all, what best reveals a person's personality is her likes and dislikes.

Things, things, people, places that you like (do) or don’t like (do)...

Therefore, I would rather borrow from Sariel and get some money to give Ravshini enough opportunities to try again and again to find what she likes.

But even so, after she tried clothes, food, shooting... almost everything that a girl or a person should enjoy, she still felt that she was lacking in character.

And in the end, Ravxini found the answer, or, in the dullness over and over again, she was convinced of the conclusion she wanted. .

"Actually, compared to those happy lives, staying with His Highness makes me feel more at ease..."

The girl from Drake looked at Ozwald who was in great distress because she thought that she had not done what the patriarch should do and was choosing a better future for her compatriots. She comforted him softly.

This was something she confirmed after thinking about it.

For the shadow, the best place is indeed under the light; no matter how small it is, as long as the prominence it relies on has not been extinguished, it will exist forever.And the more dazzling the light is, the more clearly the shadow can remain independent and not be swallowed up by other darkness.

"But if possible, I hope you can live a more 'selfish' life, Ravshini."

Ozwald Artolis sighed in compromise.

After all, boxers like to talk to those who are good at "putting aside reality". It is the greatest unrealism and cruelty to ask patients who really can't live independently to live like normal people. It's no different than asking them to die.

What's more, just as the leader has the duty to protect the members, it is natural for him as a leader to protect the weak and sick.

But Ozwald still couldn't help but complain about it.

"Really, you can't live independently... If there is a situation where only one person can live, I don't know whether to pretend to be cool and say 'you will never die before me' or to act like I would rather bear the world. Boss Cao said, 'You must die before me'."

"...If I had to choose, it would be the latter. I would rather die for you than my sister, Your Highness."

"...Well, if that's the case, what will others think of me then... Is it the disgrace of the world to trick a little girl with mental problems into dying for herself?"

"Then, I can't care about it. After all, the latter is more [beneficial] to me."

Rarely, a long-lost chuckle appeared on Ravshini's face:

"Isn't this what your Highness wants from me to live a more selfish life?"

"Ha, that's true..."

"Is there really no problem in choosing this kind of life? Ravshini"

"Yes, thank you for your care, Your Highness; but for me, this kind of life is happy enough."

ps: There is a saying. When writing Wei Cao, a submissive personality who was persecuted by the deep pool, it was more appropriate to use the BGM of the first episode of Gumen Yihui.

ps2: I urged to open the bounty, but in the end, apart from the recommendations and monthly tickets refreshed at the beginning of the month, which made me need to add two more updates, the combat effectiveness is not very good, everyone.

Glorious Rutland, no one can stop the gun battle: 25 Falling into the sky (more updates if the monthly pass reaches the standard)

Hall [-] of the Papal Palace.

Because there is still nearly an hour before the stipulated time to get off work, Gabriel Qing, who finished the work at hand early, made himself a pot of scented tea, enjoying the happiness brought by reading books while experiencing the rare leisure. .

If there is no extra work, according to her habit, she will order a special dessert from the staff of the Papal Palace in half an hour, and enjoy it as a belated afternoon tea until get off work.

However, at [-]:[-], when Gabriel had already taken out his personal terminal and started wondering whether to choose chocolate chip cookies or matcha mousse today, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office.

"Oh, I have to work overtime again... ok, ok, ok."

Yu complained a little in his heart, Gabriel drank the last tea in the cup, stood up and said:

"come in."

"I won't say good afternoon to you, Gabriel."

Like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, Metatron walked into Gabriel's office expressionlessly, and gave the latter a look on his face: "Why are you so stupid?" ] With a confused look in her eyes, she sorted out a few documents that had just been printed and were still warm and placed them in front of her.

"I'm here to report the case. All the procedures are here. Once confirmed, hurry up and help me get the project approved."

"Huh?" After recovering from the shock of seeing a guy who shouldn't be here, Gabriel couldn't believe that his ears were working normally.

"No, no, wait a minute, what did you say you were going to do!?"

"I said - I, come, report the case!"

Gritting his teeth, Metatron repeated his purpose word for word.And he can almost predict what will happen next, so his expression becomes more and more indifferent.

After a brief silence, Gabriel's crazy laughter erupted in the office.

"Hahaha?! Did I hear that right!? That Metatron actually came to call the police on me? Huh?! Hahahahahahaha!!!"

Is this funny?Of course it’s funny!

This kind of thing is like Raphael broke his leg and ran to the Rutland International Medical Team to register. Ullie, the Light of God, turned on a flashlight because it was too dark to see the road. The second-generation Witch King Ozwald was hit. Letania's witchcraft is like asking someone to help and solve the curse... Metatron, who was the person most responsible for the evil eradication incident in the former Lateran Vian and once had independent judicial power, actually came to call the police. What could be more ridiculous than this? event?Come to think of it, it will never happen again.

And Metatron naturally understood in his heart why the other person was laughing, and just as Gabriel was laughing so loudly now, he felt so painful and aggrieved - how the hell could such a thing happen? !The day when my dignified law enforcement leader actually called the police to find someone to enforce the law! ?ah! ! !

But nothing.

As a defender of law and order, Metatron's compliance with rules and regulations is almost ingrained in his bones; and since he has already resigned and left the official system of Lateran, as a 'civilian', when encountering this When an emergency occurs, following normal procedures and establishing an alarm project is called law-abiding.

No matter how much ridicule he might get, he was ready.

Of course, having said that, when everything he expected actually happened, Metatron felt more and more aggrieved looking at Gabriel who was laughing in front of him and couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't eat half a mouthful of ice cream.

However, ridicule was a mockery, and Gabriel's work efficiency was not slowed down in the slightest. He quickly scanned the entire file, quickly completed the classification, converted into an attack order, and submitted it to Wu Lie, the Light of God, and let him do it. Arrange the candidates for the gunners to perform the mission.

"Normally speaking, considering our respective [responsibility], this kind of thing has always been what Metatron says. But since you have resigned now, I still check it according to the charter - Citizen Metatron Long, are you sure that Sakota has fallen to the sky in the direction of Kazdel?"

For Sakota, who was born in the law, falling into heaven can be said to be the greatest sin among sins.Unless you are a professional mourner, the moment you pull the trigger on your companions with hatred and murderous intent and launch a fatal attack is often the beginning of going astray.

It's like a beast that gets out of control after tasting blood for the first time.

In addition, the Sakota race is inherently dependent on empathy. The Sakota who lost their empathy due to the Fall can easily become crazy during the most unfamiliar and painful loneliness in the early stage, and become indescribably evil scum. of villains.

Not to mention that the Fallen Ones this time are still reserves with the ability to become the Pope's gun cavalry. The knowledge and power they possess will cause even greater harm.

"I confirm, Lord Gabriel; my empathy can clearly capture her existence, and the name of the fallen one is Mastema."

Faced with Gabriel's question, Metatron answered with great determination and certainty.

——Empathy, this innate talent of Sakota is actually not that powerful. Unlike Kara Link, which can perfectly convey thoughts, Sakota's empathy is more about making people of the same race aware of each other's emotions and emotions. Will, thereby indirectly achieving empathy and understanding; even because of the need for biological reproduction, adult Sarkota often learns the technique of temporarily going offline.

But just like Gabriel as [Voice of God] can be the carrier and mouthpiece of the Lord of Lateran, [Light of God] Uliel will always be the dazzling center of the team, and [Angel of Death] Sariel will become a full-time member. Just like the punishment that Metatron will have in the end, what Metatron has is the judgment that will inevitably give judgment to traitors and sinners and will not allow them to escape!

"Alas... A child with a promising future turned into a fallen angel. I really don't know what happened to them in Kazdaele... It was obviously just an extremely ordinary mission to clear out the Sakaz mercenaries who robbed the caravan. ...That guy Ulie must be very sad.”

After completing the necessary verifications for the formula, Gabriel's tone returned to its original state, but with a hint of sadness for his compatriots who had taken an extreme path.

But Metatron was the complete opposite. The original embarrassment of calling the police was gone.What replaced him was the coldness and determination he had forged over decades of capturing traitors and annihilating enemies.

"Do you need me to apply for a temporary foreign aid position and follow her to locate the fallen angel? I can guarantee that she will be brought back for trial within three days."

"Don't be ridiculous, Metatron, please use your brain, okay? You are just leaving your job, not passing away! For a Sakota who has just fallen into heaven, seeing you, a well-known embryo-killer in Lateran, is for her. Come here, isn't this going to scare you to death on the spot? Even if you don't faint, it's easier to do irreversible things when you are emotionally aroused. Don't aggravate the already serious problem further - unless you plan to hold the sword again, like before That way, one person can kill everything and solve everything on the smallest scale."

"...I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds. Gabriel."

"Then just go home and wait like a common person. Whenever the incident progresses, I will send someone with first-hand information to you."

Radiant Rutland, Gunfight Unstoppable: 26 Manhunt

"I often think about that night."

"It was just an ordinary clearing mission, a group of ordinary Sarkaz raiders. Until we followed the traces of their escape and found that place."

"Eerie and silent, but without any hostility.

Those... remnants that are stuck in their own time. "

"I received that temporary request for help...I left you...I left you.

Obviously, the location for help is only so close, and the round trip will not take more than half a day at most.I even rushed back early..."

"I remember the mottled texture of the bricks under my feet, and I remember the feeling of cold rain falling on my face. I remember your black horns. I also remember your closed eyes.

And Andorn is missing, the traitor who attacked his companions..."

"It's just...a clearing mission. It's just a clearing mission!!!"

"Why did things end up like this? What step was made wrong? Is it because I left?!

If I had not left at that time...if I had stayed there, if I had been with you, wouldn't this have happened? At least...at least not...at least not When I arrived, everything was doomed and nothing could be undone. "

"This feels terrible, honestly, terrible. Xiao Mo.

As a companion, the only thing I can do is to watch you and Lemuan become like this... I should bear it with you.Or I should at least kill that traitor Andorn! "

"Don't think so, Fiametta, you don't have to bear anything..."

Perhaps he noticed the waves rolling in his heart from his companion's trembling body. Although the blue-haired Sakota could not hide his mental and physical exhaustion, he still gently patted Fiametta who was leaning on his leg. Comfort each other.

But unlike the happy look that Ozwald had when he saw her at the summer festival, Mastima's halo and light wings have now turned into ink, and hard horns have grown on both sides of his head. , and a small blue-black tail that is as slender as Sakaz and has a triangular end.

This is the result of being a Sakota who pulled the trigger on his fellow tribesmen with murderous intentions and fell into the sky. The disconnection from the tribesmen and the physical distortion were one of the costs.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that Andorn [Rutland expletive] is obsessed with it."

Using a dry tree trunk as a stool cushion to sit under him, Mostima comforted the red-haired Tripoli while frowning and adjusting the state of his pants.
