Machine Lion Roar

(); "Good job! For newcomers, this should be done."

After the simulation battle ended, Judo Koichiro turned his thumbs at Lei Mingkai who had stepped down from Arion.

"No. Just to find out their technical level. From the results, it is almost expected."

Lei Mingkai waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

Judo Koichiro looked at Lei Mingkai and found that he didn't really seem to take the victory of the simulation battle in his heart, and said nothing.

For soldiers, a momentary victory does not mean much.

However, people who talk about the victory of bullying the rookie will not be regarded by Judo Koichiro.

"How? Go out and let the air out. To be honest, I haven't been to the observation deck since I boarded this warship."

Judo Koichiro turned his head and glanced at the people who were in a circle, and after discussing the previous simulation battle in full swing, he casually suggested to Lei Mingkai.

"Well, that's fine."

Unexpectedly, this hit Lei Mingkai's arms.

Since the discovery of Judo Koichiro, Lei Mingkai has been thinking about finding an opportunity to get in touch with him, so as to get to know the Judo Koichiro in front of him, and see if he really has a λ-drive system that matches what he thinks. Spirit fluctuations.

Thus, in the discussion between Jiezukayuki and Jiezuka Inaho and others, Lei Mingkai and Karito Koichiro left Ganaku and went all the way up the passage to the upper level of the observation deck.

At this moment, the sailing battleship Deucalion had already left the sea area where Tanegashima was located, and flew towards the colder extreme north sea to the north.

"I didn't expect this warship to fly so fast. This speed has far exceeded the original Poseidon's speed."

Judo Koichiro sighed while looking at the sea level that had become a little white outside, and he reached out and fumbled in his pocket.

Amid the swaying sound of water, a bottle of spirits appeared in front of Lei Mingkai.

"Want a bite?"

Judo Koichiro's tone is very casual, and there seems to be a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.

Lei Mingkai lowered his gaze, looked at the amber liquid in the bottle, and smiled slightly.

Then, after he did the same as Judo Koichiro, reaching out and groping in his pocket, a palm-sized glass bottle with a deep blue liquid appeared in front of Judo Koichiro.

"Sometimes, it's a good thing to try new flavors. Isn't it?"

Juhu Koichiro was stunned.

After a while, he only reacted.

"Hahahaha! Warrant Lieutenant Lei. I didn't expect you to be a fellow man!"

Amidst the laughter, Judo Koichiro took the wine bottle in his hand into his pocket and unceremoniously stretched out his hand towards Lei Mingkai to beg.

Seeing this, Lei Mingkai smiled slightly and handed the wine bottle in his hand to Judo Koichiro's hand very readily.

"The name of the wine sinks in fear."

When Lei Mingkai said this, Judo Koichiro, who had just held the bottle, was shocked and almost let go of the bottle in his hand to fall to the ground.At the same time, Judo Koichiro's previous drunkard appearance disappeared, staring straight at Lei Mingkai's face, as if he wanted to see even a hint from his face and even his eyes.

however,

This action by Judo Koichiro was obviously wasted.

Lei Mingkai didn't make any other actions except for the words that reported the name of the wine just now, and even his eyes were calm.

"Fear sinking?!"

Judo Koichiro narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously moved his eyes away from Lei Mingkai's face, and landed on the wine bottle with a deep blue brilliance under the light.

"Yes. Fear sinks. Since human beings were born in this world, they have been wrapped in various feelings and emotions. With the development of time and history, there are always some people who can integrate human emotions into others. Among things, and through these things to share with others."

Lei Mingkai flipped his left hand and found another bottle of "fear sinking".

"Human emotions?"

Judo Koichiro mumbled to himself.

Although Lei Mingkai didn't say anything, Judo Koichiro always had a feeling.

That is Lei Mingkai knows his terrible experience 15 years ago, and also knows what kind of nightmare he has suffered since that incident.

"Hey! Can an ordinary bottle of wine make people feel scared?"

There were memories in his mind, but Koichiro Judo shook the wine bottle with dreamy blue brilliance in his hand.

"Captain Juhu, you can try. But I don't think it's time to drink."

Lei Mingkai flipped his left hand, and the blue wine bottle in his hand was taken back into his pocket.

Seeing Lei Mingkai's actions, Judo Koichiro laughed.

"Hey! What does this have."

"puff!"

Judo Koichiro stretched out his hand and twisted, and the bottle cap was opened.

At the same time, Judo Koichiro didn't wait for the aroma of the wine at all, so he raised the bottle and took a sip.

However, at the moment when the cold liquid slipped down his throat, a bitter feeling of coldness suddenly erupted from the inside of the body, spread to the limbs in the blink of an eye, and even rushed to the brain of Koichiro Judo in the next second.

At this moment, Judo Koichiro's eyes seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and the figure that had made him terrified once again appeared in front of him.

"Uh!!!"

Suddenly, Judo Koichiro's eyes widened stubbornly, and the movements of his hands froze in place, no longer able to hold the bottle, letting it slip from his hands and fall straight to the ground.

Fortunately, at the moment when this wine bottle was about to fall to the ground, one hand happened to catch it.

"Captain Juhu?!"

As Lei Mingkai caught the bottle, he also looked at the state of Judo Koichiro.

fear!

fear!

Except for fear, it is fear!

Looking at the face that was extremely distorted because of fear, Lei Mingkai couldn't help but secretly marvel at how powerful the wine in the bottle was.

This is not the wine Lei Mingkai brought from the rebellious Lelouch world, but a supply that he saw from the standard supply list sent by the administration when he set out to perform the mission.

At that time, apart from the name "fear sinking", there was only one sentence "famous wine loved by the brave soldiers who resisted the front line of the abyss".Therefore, Lei Mingkai, who was curious about the name, chose this so-called noun.

Unexpectedly, the effect of this wine is somewhat unexpected.

Judging from the stiff, panicked face of Judo Koichiro now, the power of this bottle of wine may be far more than that.

"what!!"

While thinking about it, Judo Koichiro suddenly screamed.

Then, when a dull sound sounded, there was a sharp, somewhat tragic breathing sound.

With his face occupied by panic, Karito Koichiro fell to the ground, his eyes also lost the focus of focus, and escaped to the surroundings.

The sweat on his forehead rushed frantically, like a waterfall, from both sides of Judo Koichiro's cheeks, both sides of his eye sockets, and even directly into Judo Koichiro's eyes.

The sour and tingling sensation caused by the sweat slipping into the eyes made Judo Koichiro's thoughts that had stopped because of extreme fear moved again.

"This...what the hell is this...!!!"

Judo Koichiro, who was terribly pale, raised his head, looked at Lei Mingkai, and even more at the blue bottle in his hand, as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's just an ordinary bottle of wine."

Lei Mingkai shrugged his shoulders and showed the wine bottle in his hand to Judo Koichiro.

When Judo Koichiro saw the blue bottle, his eyes flinched, but he quickly regained his energy, slowly raised his hand, and carefully took the blue wine from Lei Mingkai’s hand. bottle.

"Ordinary wine?!"

The coldness from the bottle made Judo Koichiro's whole body shocked, but the magical thing was that the chill of the forest that made Judo Koichiro's body stiff just disappeared.

"call······"

Slowly, Judo Koichiro let out a long breath.

He didn't understand why the scene just happened to him, let alone why he saw the figure "with his own eyes" again.

This is not a dream of looking back at nightmares,

It’s not a nightmare that has haunted me for 15 years,

It is to truly reproduce the nightmare before his eyes.

"Ha...Hahaha...It's ridiculous! It's just a bottle of wine! Why, I am so embarrassed!!"

The cold touch from the bottle made Judo Koichiro's spirit gradually clear. At the same time, Judo Koichiro also expressed dissatisfaction with his own gaffe.

"Maybe you are tired. Captain Juhu."

Lei Mingkai didn't tease Judo Koichiro for this, instead he stretched out his right hand to signal Judo Koichiro to stand up.

"is it?"

Juto Koichiro stretched out his hand and stood up again with Lei Mingkai's right hand, but the bottle in his hand was always held by him.

"If Captain Ju Hu likes it, this bottle of wine will be given to you."

When Lei Mingkai's eyes moved, he expressed generously.

""

Judo Koichiro didn't immediately say yes, but silently looked at the bottle in his hand before nodding slowly.

"Thank you."

Silence came quietly at this moment.

The scenery outside the observation deck keeps moving backward.

The fog on the horizon has also become denser.

"Warrant Officer Lei. Will human beings really be defeated by fear?"

In silence, Judo Koichiro suddenly asked this question.

Lei Mingkai smiled softly.

"That depends on what you are afraid of?"

At the same time, Lei Mingkai's gaze seemed invisible, but he could be noticed by Judo Koichiro and landed on the blue bottle.

This action made Judo Koichiro tightly hold the bottle's right hand.

"That's it for today! Thank you for your drink! Warrant Lieutenant Lei."

Judo Koichiro doesn't seem to mean to continue on this topic.

Because he knows that as long as this topic continues, he will inevitably talk about the tragic incident that year.

This is not the scene that Judo Koichiro would like to see.

Except for Dr. Yaga Soraima, Karito Koichiro does not intend to let others know about the scene 15 years ago.

just···

Before Judo Koichiro walked away a few steps, Lei Mingkai's voice rang.

"Captain Juhu. Did you know? Sometimes fear can become your strength. As long as the time is right, even if you can't pull the trigger, Captain Juhu, fear will make the choice for you."

Lei Mingkai's remarks caused Judo Koichiro to stop.

"What the hell are you talking about? Warrant Lieutenant Lei. If you want to be a guest psychologist, I still suggest that you learn how to play with Dr. Yahe Cang Laizhen!"

Red light appeared on his pale and receding face again. While raising the wine bottle in his hand, Judo Koichiro made a little joke at Lei Mingkai. Quandang responded to Lei Mingkai.

Lei Mingkai shook his head and didn't care about Judo Koichiro's reaction.

As soon as the time comes, Judo Koichiro will know.

Judging from the contact just now, Judo Koichiro really has a mental fluctuation that can match the λ drive system.

However, after boarding the body equipped with the lambda drive system, how much combat power it will exert, can only be left in practice to find the answer.

"Huh!"

Before Judo Koichiro's right foot stepped out of the automatic door, Wang Wen Yunzi rushed into the viewing platform and almost knocked Judo Koichiro.

"Wanwen Yunzi!! Be careful!"

Juhu Koichiro scolded.

But Wang Wen Yunzi ignored Judo Koichiro’s scolding, but looked at Lei Mingkai anxiously and shouted:

"Warrant Lieutenant Lei! The big business is not good! Miss Euphemia and Her Royal Highness Princess Ethelam were held hostage!!!"

――――――

When the time returned half an hour ago, Euphemia, who had been on duty, was about to go to Gannaku to find Lei Mingkai, but received an invitation from Ethelam.

Euphemia thought for a while, and agreed to Ethelam's invitation.

"Miss Euphemia. Maybe this is presumptuous. But I still have something to ask you."

Ethelam's attitude is very correct, as if he is a student who is humbly asking for advice.

Upon seeing this, Yufimia couldn't help but smile back.

"His Royal Highness Princess Ethelam, you don't need to call me by honorific title. If you can, you can call my name directly. Correspondingly, I also call your name directly, how about?"

Ethelam was overjoyed by Euphemia's favor.

"Yes! Euphemia is small, no, Euphemia."

"Well. That's good. Then, Ethelam, what do you want to ask me?"

At this moment, in the aisle, besides Euphemia and Ethelam, there are only the little servant Edellizo.

Therefore, Ethelam can confidently express the doubts in his heart and ask Euphemia for advice.

For some reason, Ethelam always has a feeling that her question may be answered from Yuphemia.

"Yes. Then, please forgive me for taking the liberty! Euphemia. If you want to achieve a thing, perhaps a wish, what do you want to do the most, or what is it to prepare?"

Although Ethelam didn't say it clearly, Euphemia had already seen what Ethelam was asking.

"A trustworthy person and a force that can influence the direction of the situation."

During the narration, Euphemia gradually walked in front, and Ethelam also gradually fell behind, showing a humble attitude.

"Athelam. Although you have suffered an assassination incident, have you ever wondered why the other party can launch an assassination incident in the enemy's territory, and after the assassination incident, launch an attack on the Earth Alliance as soon as possible? "

Euphemia once again mentioned the assassination incident not long ago.

"It's a manpower! It's a spy! Before I knew it, a certain orbital knight arranged manpower and lurked in the earth, waiting for my chance to snare myself."

Ethelam replied.

"Yeah. So, why didn't you notice it in the first place? And, before the assassination, you still escaped the catastrophe because of a temporary physical discomfort."

Euphemia continued to guide.

"Staffed!"

Thinking of his position in the Visser Empire, and thinking of his arrival on Earth in Yanglu City of Earl Kuotlu, Ethelam finally realized that besides his younger follower Edellizo, There is no other person following him.

In other words, besides the flashy title of the first empress of the Visser Empire, there is no other person to trust.

"I···"

Just when Ateliam was awakened, a violent impact suddenly struck Ateliam on the back, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.

"your Highness!!"

"Be careful!!"

During the severe pain, Ethelam only heard Edellizzo's exclamation and Yuphimia's alarm, and fell into the darkness.
