The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"——I was wrong! It's all my fault!"

"Where did you go wrong?"

"Ah, um...where?" He turned around blankly, but Lani stepped on his face with her foot. She was obviously a doll, but her eyes twitched slightly: "....You bastard, until now Don’t you know where you went wrong? Are you pretending?”

He felt as if his face had been poked by a finger. He felt somewhat innocent at the moment, but at the same time he also had a bad premonition. He couldn't help but test it: "Although I think it's unlikely, you won't..."

"Of course I blocked other people's prayers."

"...Isn't this bad?" The girl's natural words made his expression freeze.

However, Lani crossed her hands in front of her chest, tilted her head slightly and smiled: "I don't think there is a problem. It is better to say that you should thank me for my favor to you."

"No, no, no, I'm really flattered and I can't bear it! And as a god, isn't it a bit irresponsible for you to do this?"

"I am God, and when I say no problem, it means no problem."

"......Too."

"Then? What do you want to say to me?"

"——I'm really sorry! I shouldn't have said you're second-rate, let alone want to take advantage of you! I'm not a human being! It's all my fault, please forgive me!"

"Oh~ You apologized decisively, more sincerely and quickly than I thought~" Lani nodded slightly with wonder on her face, and then showed her charming smile again: "Then as your god, of course I... ..."

"Forgive me, right?"

"Of course I won't forgive you!" Lani changed the topic and poked him in the face angrily, grabbing his ears and gritting her teeth: "What the hell is going on with you? Did you do it on purpose?! Did you do it on purpose? Are you making me angry? Or do you really want to be stepped on by me!?"

"It's a misunderstanding. It's definitely a misunderstanding. I don't have that kind of interest..."

"If you don't have such interest, why do you keep slandering me behind my back over and over again!?"

"defamation?"

"....What are you surprised about?"

"Ah, no... I'm sorry. It's indeed my fault. I shouldn't have slandered you. I'm cute... Ahem, dear Lady Lani."

"Me? Cute...?" Lani's angry expression froze for a moment.

In all her life, this was the first time she heard this line from someone other than her parents.

"Misunderstanding, don't be angry, what I want to say is respect..."

"——I don't want to care about a guy like you!"

Although he still wanted to defend himself, the girl beside him no longer paid attention to him and flew directly onto the beam of the tent again. He subconsciously stretched out his hand like a bird to catch a bird, wanting to stop him and see what Lani's expression was like... ..just hear a "bang!"

The inexplicable change in gravity caused him to hit the ground top-heavy, causing a hole in the ground with his face facing the ground. The pain was so painful that he felt as if his nose was going to be broken.

However, he only heard a soft hum from above. Even if he surrendered and begged for mercy, Kelani ignored him at all, and even refused to let him take his head out of the soil, so he was forced to take out some sand, just like that. A strange night on the floor.

.........................

The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

An Yan, who had kept his head buried in the pit without paying attention and fell asleep directly, suddenly felt an itch on his shoulder.

Subconsciously turning his head to look, he saw Heitong squatting next to him, carefully poking himself with his fingertips, as if testing whether he was dead.

"What are you doing? I'm not dead yet." An Yan made a speechless sound similar to a sigh.

"What are you doing? Why are you lying on the ground and falling asleep? Or is it such a strange posture?"

"Do you think I want it? I was just pushed to the ground."

"Being pushed to the ground??"

"Ah...well, actually when I came back yesterday, I was really shy when I saw your sleeping face. I didn't want to do anything to you accidentally, so I used this method to force myself to return to reason."

Facing the obviously disbelieving girl, he changed the topic of conversation, and it was difficult to explain to Lani. He stared at the girl in front of him and began to talk nonsense seriously.

The girl squatting beside her with her hands on her chin, she just blushed and pursed her lips when she heard this. She shyly ignored the topic and asked instead: "...Aren't you going to get up?"

"That's my problem too."

"Is it your problem too? Why?"

"Well..." An Yan stared at the face of the girl in front of him, but didn't know if he should glance down.

A girl wearing pantyhose and a short skirt, or simply a JK sailor suit with black stockings, squatted in front of him, but he could reasonably lie on the ground, facing her direction.

This always makes him feel like he will lose if he gets up... But it seems a little hard on his conscience and moral integrity. After all, Heitong is a child; but he can't go on instinct if he doesn't look at it, because Heitong has just passed his 15th birthday and has more than ten birthdays. Four - In short, it is very troublesome and entangled.

But Black Eyes didn't notice the problem, he just tilted his head and blinked in confusion, unable to figure out what he was thinking.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, until Yin appeared and quickly blocked Heitong. After dragging him up from the ground and glaring at him fiercely, he pulled Heitong to the side and reminded her. As a girl, you must pay attention to some things, and even tell An Yan the truth behind those previous words.

This made the girl with blushing cheeks stare at him, and after a long while she let out a voice of shameful dissatisfaction: "I can't believe it, An Yan... is perverted!"

"I didn't watch it!"

"....I do not believe!"

"I knew you wouldn't believe it! I would have watched it!"

"~~?! - Guo, he is indeed a pervert!"

The girl, who was so embarrassed that her face turned completely red in the blink of an eye, exclaimed as if she was frightened, and then ran away without a trace.

And An Yan, who was left where he was, felt really regretful. Since they were all wronged, why didn't they watch it?Wasn’t this being wronged in vain?

However, if Lani is still up there now, then if she raises her head...

"——Die, pervert!"

He was just thinking about it, with no intention of taking action, when he heard the cold voice from the girl above him.

Then he was affected by a repulsive force, causing him to fly out of the tent uncontrollably.

"...Sages talk about their deeds but not their hearts. There is no saint in the world...I just think about it in my heart like a saint, why can't everyone be a little more tolerant to me?"

He wasn't injured at all, but he still couldn't help but think about it.

However, he didn't return to the tent. After complaining, he washed his face and switched from daily mode to work mode.

Just like this, he adjusted his mentality and stopped teasing the girls to relax his mind. Then he headed towards the village, preparing to brainwash the rebel prisoners in order to increase his visibility among the rebels.

..........................

..........................

The villagers of Didao Village had already completed their evacuation before An Yan and others arrived.

However, the nearby rebels were also wiped out, and the mission was completed perfectly, allowing him to bring the assassination team members with him to rejoin most of the nearby people.

But a week later, in the city where the Dark Moon Army was stationed.

When An Yan led a small number of people into the city, preparing to rest for a while before meeting up with Esdeath to join the northern crusade force being organized to resist the northern aliens invading the empire... he was the prefect of the city. The government heard very bad news.

"...Before the army was formed and set off, the minister recalled Lord Esdeath. Now we should discuss in the imperial capital which area to draw more troops from. If the general wants to find Lord Esdeath, he might go back first. Imperial capital?"

The prefect who held a banquet in honor of Anyan, after hearing that he was originally from Esdeath and the Minister's faction, was planning to join the northern expeditionary force, drank three rounds and gave him a kind suggestion.

When he heard this suggestion, he couldn't hold the wine glass firmly in his hand and dropped it directly to the ground... He understood that it was time for him to carry the bucket and run away.

The problem is that he is no longer alone now than he was at the beginning. In the beginning, everything would be fine if he just ran away. Now, although he does not have a big family, he still has a career, and he really cannot simply evacuate.

So he just thought about it at the wine table, how he should keep his family business, and not be caught out, and find out that Esdeath, who had been deceived from the beginning, kill him or put him in a torture room. A surefire strategy.

At the end of the night, after the banquet, he did not stay overnight at the prefect's mansion. He returned to the military tent overnight and issued an order to keep the scattered Dark Moon troops away from Esdeath's headquarters and to regroup. He quickly brought the assassination troops with him. The elite traveled to the imperial capital overnight.

"...What's the matter, are you in such a hurry to go to the Imperial Capital? Did something big happen?" Sitting on the same flying dangerous species, the black pupil who was still next to him looked at it with worry, and couldn't help but Somewhat worried.

After returning from the city, his face had always been gloomy. However, after taking a long breath, he shook his head and said: "No, I just thought about one thing clearly."

"whats the matter?"

"——A man who lives between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time under human beings!"

"Oh, oh...what do you mean?" Listening to his impassioned words, Heitong felt confused.

"It means that when a man is born in the world, he must do something. How can he work under others for a long time? So I decided to hang out with General Bude!"

"Huh? It just turned out to be a different person, right? And didn't you say before that you were originally from General Bude? You just betrayed him and went back... Is it really okay?"

"If you don't go there, something will really happen!" He corrected Heitong with a serious look on his face, but Heitong's thoughts made Heitong confused: "...You have to betray me once and then go back, right?"

"The adult world is too complicated. You are still young and don't understand it. I will teach you when you grow up."

Without further explanation, he just put his hand on Heitong's head and patted it gently with a meaningful expression.

Although it would be good to join the Revolutionary Army, he has killed too many people in the Revolutionary Army, and Esdeath always likes to return to the mountains to cultivate opponents. There are also too many people in the Revolutionary Army who have a blood feud with him, and it cannot be an option for him. Then the only choice is Bude.

.........................

The core of the imperial capital with a thousand-year ancient civilization. After crossing the outermost city wall, the royal city in the core area is higher than anywhere else in the city. There are also three city walls that are higher than each other. Finally, there is a huge towering into the clouds. castle.

As a palace, the castle has daily functions. Apart from guards and maids, only the emperor lives alone... because the royal family has all died in accidents in the past few years.

Even General Bude only lives in the core area of ​​​​the royal city. If it is not something important, he will not participate in the court meeting under normal circumstances. It can be said that he does not participate in any politics at all. He only receives news that the minister wants to kill people on his side. will go.

But today Budben was just practicing the guards to defend the royal city as usual, but Esdeath unexpectedly came to visit and greeted him with a smile on his face.

This made him immediately alert, and he said bluntly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me! If you have nothing to do, go back. I don't have time to receive you!"

"It's nothing, I just want to thank you for training me a good subordinate." Faced with the expulsion order, Esdeath did not change his smile, and pretended to be grateful and said mockingly: "But I really didn't expect you to be so rigid. This guy actually has subordinates with such flexible brains~"

"....Who are you talking about?" Bude frowned, completely unable to understand her words.

"Your beloved general is also your relative, right?" Esdeath, who had been looking forward to this day a year ago, boasted with a proud smile:

"It may not be clear that you don't participate in the affairs of the court. Unlike you who hide in the royal city all day long and don't give young people opportunities, I gave An Yan ample opportunities, and his results also proved your He has no eyes, and now he has become a general on my side."

"....An Yan?" A look of astonishment appeared on Bude's resolute face.

"Haha! Yes! It's An Yan! With his talent and growth, he is considered top-notch for you! Although his personality is a bit...well, except for some strange behaviors occasionally, he can definitely be regarded as quite good. Nice subordinate, I came here specifically to thank you for your generosity!"

Although Esdeath's expression was a little weird when talking about his character, he regained his expectant expression at the end, staring closely at Bude's face, not wanting to miss the anger and unwillingness of his only opponent.

However....she was destined to be disappointed.

She couldn't help it no matter what, she could see the anger and unwillingness on Bude's face.

Bude looked at her, and even gradually turned into sympathy: "Are you deceived? I don't have any subordinates named An Yan, let alone such relatives. Even this name has only been heard in battle reports. ...Instead of fighting and torture, you should probably learn some skills in recognizing people, otherwise you will end up making the same joke sooner or later."

"What?! - No...that's not right! You're not pretending..." Esdeath, who had never thought that someone in the Imperial Army would dare to lie to her, couldn't turn her head around for a moment, and even doubted Bude was trying not to laugh at him.

But Bude just gave her a sympathetic look, and said without hesitation: "As a soldier of the empire... I am really ashamed of you."

"—?!"

In fact, Esdeath, who also understood that Bude would not lie at all, was silent. He just lowered his head with a sullen face, clenched his fists so hard that he couldn't stop shaking, and the temperature around him also dropped sharply. The flowers and plants on the ground were instantly frozen.

The excitement did not turn into excitement, but instead became excitement - this made Esdeath feel extremely humiliated, but she turned around and left without saying a word.

However... the expression on her face was unprecedentedly terrifying.

She believed that An Yan was Bude's person entirely because the members of the assassination force and Bill, the manager of the empire's assassination force, obviously knew An Yan. Even when An Yan told her that he was Bude's person, No one corrected her, so she didn't think much about it.

But now...

"That bastard! You are actually much braver than you look on the surface. You haven't shown any timidity even once in this year!.... Just wait for me, and I will repay you a hundredfold for this humiliation!"

On the way out of the royal city, Esdeath, who was extremely angry, could not control a tearing and terrifying smile on his face.

Chapter 8 Repeatedly jumping sideways·Sheela is my flesh and blood!·Compared to Night Raid, I am a good person

Ten days after Esdeath and Bude met.

In order to avoid accidentally bumping into Esdeath, An Yan specially sent an assassination team to sneak into the city to gather information for himself before heading to the imperial capital. It was not until he confirmed that Esdeath was not around that he mounted the flying dangerous species and entered the city cautiously.

When he arrived at this city, he was immediately shocked by the vast city below.

The capital of the empire does not include the suburbs. Just the huge city wall covers an area of ​​20 ordinary kilometers, which means it has a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, which is roughly the area of ​​South Korea and North Korea.

It can be said that this city is so big that it is called Anyan. People who think they have seen the world are dumbfounded.

After all, this was the first time he had seen such a large-scale urban area, and it was an ancient city surrounded by walls. It was simply going to completely subvert his understanding.

"The technology in this world is really hard to understand... We have electricity, automatic rifles, and pistols, but we don't have artillery... We still use primitive battering rams."

He rode a flying dangerous species and quickly flew over the imperial capital. After reporting, he rode to the palace of the imperial general in the royal city.

Originally, he thought it would be difficult to meet the general, but Bude unexpectedly agreed to the meeting simply and received him directly in the living room.
