Collapse 3: The girl who chased the fire moth

Lixue's expression froze, and she poked her, it's not a good thing to confront the captain now.

"That's it."

However, Melutina did not refute it, because it was indeed true.

It was not Sakura who came here, but her, and the most direct reason was because she was a related household.

"Then how do you prove that you can lead us?"

Salome's eyes were sharp, she put down her chopsticks, stood up,

"We don't need a Captain Vase."

"sit down."

However, in the next second, the terrifying pressure made Salome's calf go limp.

The girl who looked to be about the same age as them (except for Lewis) looked at her expressionlessly, but for a moment Salome felt that it was not a girl in front of her, but a huge beast.

"Eat noodle."

Immediately afterwards, her pressure disappeared. The girl lowered her head, picked up the chopsticks, and looked at her own bowl.

On the other hand, Suzanne frantically tugged on Salome's sleeve and told her to sit down.

"..."

Finally, Salome sat down reluctantly.

On the other hand, Lixue silently observed their captain——

The age should be around 20 years old, the clothing is mainly black, gray, and white, and it can be seen that it has been carefully dressed.

She wears a string of golden rhombus pendants on her right ear, and a necklace like a pendulum hangs around her neck.

The hair looks freshly permed and has a nice texture, and a black bow is tied on the horns of the fusion fighter.

It can be seen that this set of images should be specially matched for her by a knowledgeable person, and it looks very suitable.

but……

The subtleties of the makeup on her face revealed that she was not a person who was good at grooming herself, and she probably took care of it carefully for the sake of meeting the team members like them and serving as the captain.

Thinking of this made Lixue feel a little better about the new captain.

"...I'm sorry, Captain, Salome has a good relationship with the previous captain, uh, that..."

Suzanne didn't know what to say halfway through.

Logically speaking, the former captain was purged, so talking about this topic should be avoided, but otherwise, Salome would leave a bad impression in the eyes of the new captain.

"Well, I understand. She's not a bad person, you just talk about it, don't deliberately avoid me."

Melutina's indifferent expression did not loosen, but what she said surprised them very much.

"Do you think...the captain is right?"

Salome looked at Melutina and asked in disbelief.

Since the accident of the former captain, in order to avoid suspicion, no one dared to speak well of her, but the new captain who should avoid suspicion the most did not care about it.

"You are not children anymore, this world is neither good nor right, it never distinguishes between good and evil."

Melutina glanced at her,

"People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Once a matter is determined, they will avoid it and condemn it. It is not reasonable, but it happens from time to time.

If you want to change, you can only climb up, but people at high places always go against their hearts, because this is how this world is. "

"..."

It turned out to be a weirdo.

The members of the third team looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

But the weirdo is much better than the hypocrite, which makes them feel good about the new captain.

"Oh, right."

After eating the noodles, Melutina raised her head,

"Since you doubt my strength, we will conduct actual combat exercises later, just in time for me to see what you are good at."

"Actual combat? How to conduct actual combat?"

Adam froze for a moment.

"You five, go together."

Melutina said lightly.

Hearing this sentence, the expressions of the five people changed.

"is this okay?"

Salome raised her eyebrows,

"Will you cry when you lose?"

"You can try."

Today's young people are really energetic.

Melutina thought to herself.

…………

after an hour

practice field

"Can't even stand up?"

Melutina looked at the team members who were lying on the ground in disarray, and kicked Salome's ass, who had just uttered nonsense.

However, only the sound of weak crying on the ground was heard.

"Let's not mention strength, physical strength is not enough. It seems that physical training is also on the agenda."

Melutina put her hands in her pockets, not to mention wounds, not even a speck of dust.

"...You are too abnormal."

The only situation is not bad, Lixue gritted her teeth and said.

By the way, although Adam was the most powerful among them, he was beaten the worst because he kept standing in front.

"You are an elite army, do you have that self-awareness?"

Melutina shook her head,

"You have to work hard. Adam and Lewis have passed the exam, and I will "take care" of you for the others."

"..."

"Speaking of which, Lixue."

Melutina said suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

Lixue looked up.

"We have to drag them back."

"This is no problem, but the captain also needs to help!"

"Eh……"

…………

"It looks like there's nothing wrong~"

Alicia poked her head out of the shadows,

"Kevin Kevin, do you think Melutina can be a good captain?"

"...She is a person with leadership qualities, although she does not realize it herself."

Standing behind her, Kevin put his arms around his chest,

"It is no easy task for the third team, which has just lost its captain, to accept her so quickly."

"Then I will officially hand over the third god key to her, okay? I have already obtained Sakura's consent."

"Since its previous owner has agreed, there is no need to confirm to me that she is the most suitable candidate."

Chapter No.17 The Maiden of Redemption

Mu Dalu

The city where the headquarters of Flame Chasing Moth is located

Melutina was carrying two huge bags filled with food and some emergency supplies, as well as a mop and broom tucked around her waist.

The sight of the girl with the mass of things that are not at all befitting of her size, and the strange horn-like ornament on her head, has caused passers-by to stare sideways.

"It's going to be so hard for such a young girl."

"It seems that the husband at home is not up to date. Girls nowadays must be careful when they marry."

"She is really a self-reliant girl, but the decoration on that horn is so strange."

……

Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Melutina went to an apartment in silence, then walked up to the third floor of the apartment, and went straight to the innermost room.

When the door was opened, the smell coming from inside was so terrifying that even a beggar would run away.

But Melutina's expression didn't change at all. She put the bag by the door, opened the door and window, bent down and put all the garbage into the bag little by little and tied it.

Then she took out the rag and started to clean the sink and the dust off the table.

"...I told you not to come."

A deep and hoarse voice came from the room, a man sitting on the bed like a homeless man on the street, with messy hair and a full beard, enough to make anyone shy away,

"Is it you who sent the inexplicably extra money in my account? I don't need your help. Get out of here."

"That won't do."

Melutina lowered her head and wiped the sink, her expression didn't change the slightest because of the man's bad attitude,

"You're going to die, François."

"Ha, I should have died a long time ago, the day Vanessa died."

Francois raised his head with a sneer,

"What do you mean, the feeling of guilt towards your best friend will overwhelm you, and this will give you some psychological comfort? Melutina, don't make people laugh. A woman like you also feels guilty?"

Francois.

One of the miraculous survivors of the fires in Australia, on that day, he should have stepped into the palace of marriage with the woman he loves the most.

But at the end of the memory, there are only flames and gravel falling from the sky. When regaining consciousness again, the fiancée's cold body will be Melutina who is kneeling beside her in a daze.

"..."

Melutina pursed her lips, and endured the ridicule silently, without saying a word.

She used to attend the same university as François and his fiancée, Vanessa, but the relationship between the two was not good.

In the past, François was very popular among girls with his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, but Melutina often complained in Vanessa's ear that his forehead was too big.

"Hmph, you're still the same... I really don't understand you. I didn't understand you when I was a student. Now that I understand you somewhat, I feel that you are a hopeless woman."

François stared blankly at the ceiling.

The survivor of the collapse, he once heard Vanessa mention it, but at first he understood it, but he didn't understand it, but now it's different.

He understood that this woman felt ashamed of him because of Vanessa, and it seemed reasonable to do such a sin-like thing...

But it was because he was Vanessa's fiancé that he felt strange, because this kind of thing shouldn't exist in this woman.

"If you want to scold, just scold."
