My machine combat simulator has come true

The father also has unspeakable difficulties-after all, he also has another family that he cares about.

Moreover, he also made such a choice in order to protect himself...

ha.Maybe in the end—the person who shouldn't exist the most is himself.

…click.

The sound of the door being unlocked was heard, carrying the smell of the sea breeze that is usually seen on the island.

The key to the house, at this moment, theoretically, he is the only one who holds it...

So.Is it the new caretaker that Alves found for him?He made the right judgment.

"Buqing...student. Can I come in?"

From far to near is a clear female voice with a feeling of uneasiness.Bu Qing felt that the voice seemed familiar.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

"Well...the door is unlocked, please come in."

The approaching footsteps came closer and closer, and finally stopped beside his bed.

At this moment, Bu Qing finally raised his head.Look in the direction of the visitor.

...It was a woman with snow muscles in business attire.Her beautiful long silver hair fluttered and swayed in the moonlight.

However, for this visitor with a familiar face.

"...Shioni, teacher?"

He made a sound of surprise.

——Educational resources in Penglai Island are very scarce.Often, teachers of one subject are responsible for multiple classes at different levels at the same time.

Just like Shioni also taught in Yu Xiao and Bu Qing's class at the same time.

As for the reason... Bu Qing didn't know why before, but recently he knew.

That's because these "adults" are actually Alves' employees.

Many people with important positions in Alves couldn't get away from work, and it was difficult for them to cope with the educational work that required dedication.

...that is.As a member of this island, "Alves".The other party...is he here to greet him?

Bu Qing collected himself.

"Sorry. I didn't expect...it would be you."

He couldn't help but folded his hands a little awkwardly.There was something guilty dodging in his eyes.

"...to be responsible for the aftermath of people like me. I really want to trouble you."

"No...you don't have to apologize for that. And you don't have to feel guilty about it."

However, Shioni just nodded slightly, with a gentle tone.

"—This was originally my own choice."

"…Eh?"

"Literally. . . . I can't leave you alone."

Then she gently sat beside Bu Qing.Said in a low voice.

"...I've been lied to by people I trust. It's a bad feeling. But—"

Shioni paused.

"That doesn't mean that you should regard all previous experiences as falsehoods created by deception, and then deny them. Memories that existed in the past will not disappear just because you know the truth behind them... just Like the idea of ​​the island."

"Bu Qing. Do you...know? A country named Remonesia."

"In geography class... used to learn. It's an island country in the South Pacific, right...?"

"That's it—also your father, and my country."

Speaking of this, Shioni's tone was a bit heavy.

"...But. It's gone now.—and it's me who caused it."

"Hey…?"

Hearing some shocking news, Bu Qing's tone was a little unbelievable.

"...I used to be the chief diplomat of Lemonesia. After confirming that the 'Second Star Core' was about to fall to Lemonesia, I was in charge of negotiating with the three major powers..."

"At that time, I was instigated by colleagues I always believed in. I thought that the USN, which advocated G-bomb attacks, should be responsible for the treatment and accommodation of refugees...so a treaty was signed to allow them to exercise military power in Remonesia."

"—But. I was wrong. They just want to completely eradicate the disaster of Phystum... Even, because the star core fell far earlier than expected, they even evacuated all the people. Before I finished, I decided to attack the whole land with G-bullets... The reason is that it was all my fault for trusting them blindly."

"And it was only after that that I found out. That colleague... Aim him. He was just a person who had been using me to gain a better position for himself. It was also because of this credit that he instigated me to sign the treaty." To be able to quickly get the asylum of the USN after the war..."

"—After that, I was just like you. No... it was more serious than you at this moment. Until I was exiled to the Human Revolutionary League, where I saw refugees from Lemonisia..."

"Although they are also in a difficult situation. But at that time, they said very firmly-will continue to believe in me."

"That's when I understood - even if I made a mistake because someone else cheated. That doesn't make things that existed in the past disappear because of it."

"It's the same now. And, I believe your friend... Yu Xiao is in the same mood. Then, tell me, Bu Qing—"

Shioni exhaled lightly.

"Now. What would you like to do?"

"...I. I think..."

Bu Qing fell silent.It was a long time before he spoke.

"...I want to talk to him. Talk to him again. Even if it's just a sentence. At least, with A Xiao and him..."

"...that's good."

Shioni nodded.

next second.Bu Qing felt that some hard cube was stuffed into his hands.It was a gift box.

After taking it apart, what was revealed was a square, snow-white cake.

"I understand the whole incident. I also know...the day the accident happened is your birthday."

Shioni said softly.

"…So, now. Eat."

But Bu Qing lowered his head.Trembling slightly, he scraped off a little bit of pastry with a fork and sent it to his mouth.

——Creamed on the tip of the tongue, the fresh and sweet taste is conveyed from the taste nerve.But…

But Bu Qing felt the salty breath pouring into his mouth along the tip of his tongue.

That's... he knows.

That is my own, the smell of tears.

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Buqing. Did it remind you of something sad...?"

"No."

And wiping the corners of his eyes that were already a little red, Bu Qing forced a smile.

"...It's just the cake...it's too sweet. It's a bit too boring, Mrs. Shioni...!"

Chapter 150 VIII Operation, Start

the next day.early morning.

In the basement of Alves, in the command room.

"... I heard that Mi reported. Say yes, you have some important documents that you want to submit."

After adjusting the swivel chair, facing Yu Xiao head-on, Kalinin crossed his hands and said in a deep voice, in a posture that has almost become the standard configuration of animation commanders in recent years.

And just as he said, through Lai Mi's intermediary, Yu Xiao wanted to submit the blueprint obtained yesterday today.

"Yes. . . . The document is here. Please have a look."

So he took a deep breath, and after adjusting his breath, he handed over the hard drive where the files were copied to Kalinin.

However, it is different from the deliberately created millennium-like style on the island.

The internal facilities of Alves basically revealed a new and cutting-edge atmosphere.The same goes for your portable devices.

Next, Kalinin took out a scroll-shaped mobile terminal.

After linking it to the hard drive Yu Xiao handed over, unfold——

Extending from it, the frameless LCD screen displayed all the design blueprints.

After reading the entirety of these design drafts, Kalinin spoke in deep thought:

"I see. This is, a design plan for a new type of long-range artillery system? Do you want to put this blueprint into production as an official research project on the island...and install it in the defense force of Alves?"

"...That's right."

He knew his intentions without opening his mouth.

Therefore, in front of this grey-haired soldier, Yu Xiao subconsciously stood at attention.

"And, to be precise...it's MS. Mr. Kalinin."

"...Hah. Mobile suit?"

"Yes."

Yu Xiao took a few steps forward, flipped the LCD screen in Kalinin's hand, and showed Kalinin the structure of several mass-produced steel tanks—the design and structure from the Universal Century.

"...Although the lower body is indeed based on the reliable chariot chassis structure. But the upper body is specially designed as a human-shaped frame to test the 'force field motor' technology that drives the anthropomorphic joints..."

"If this technology can be verified for practicality on steel tanks, and sufficient data can be collected... Then, it can be applied to fully humanized MS designs. It's not just a mere combat vehicle. To use this blueprint as a springboard, so that we can obtain the ability to independently produce advanced mobile suits—this is how I think about it.”

"That's right....But, Yu Xiao."

Putting the document away again, Kalinin seemed to ask a question unintentionally.

"What is the reason you plan to do this?... If you only intend to fight Feistum, you can use these technologies to our ongoing research on the Excalibur-type Favna without having to go out of your way Should we update conventional weapons separately? Or..."

Then, his voice became serious.

"The imaginary enemy of these weapons. Is it something other than Phystum?"

"As you expected."

Regarding this conjecture, Yu Xiao readily admitted it.

"...from what happened to me. I think... one day. We may have to face the malice of human beings. At that time, what is needed is not only the law that was born as a weapon against Phestum Funa."

[Recommended, changing the source app to chase books is really easy to use, download it here and try it quickly. 】

"...Mr. Kalinin should be aware of it too. The fact that mecha weapons are widely used in the outside world—"

"In contrast, the island's armaments are still dominated by weapons from the old era. The beetle and flying python... with these combat power alone, it is completely impossible to fight against them."

"——So, I want to start with this design drawing. Let Penglai Island be able to obtain... Even if one day faces the malice of human beings, it will be able to raise the power to oppose the flag...!"

"...I see. Indeed, perhaps in this regard, you may be the one who has the most say."

After hearing Yu Xiao's words, Kalinin nodded slightly.

It seems that he agrees with his idea of ​​treating "human beings" as potential enemies.

No... maybe, he originally thought about it that way.The speech just now was just to test Yu Xiao's consciousness.

"—However. I still have some things to care about."

"Please speak."

Yu Xiao nodded.

"Although we have used sleep learning to train children like you...the research and development blueprint you submitted, some of the content on it is already beyond the scope of the knowledge we instilled. This 'extra' knowledge , its source is...?"

"It is a 'black technology' obtained through the 'whispering phenomenon'... From my understanding, it is probably so."

At this time, Yu Xiao put on a look of deep thought.

"Actually, it was just a vague feeling before. I didn't really believe in the existence of human beings like the Whisperer..."
