【Respect】The Beautiful Future

"Long time no see, Munakata." Yu Zhangxun stood in front of the window, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned around and smiled at Reisi Munakata.

"Long time no see, General." Munakata stood still in front of him, and replied in a deep voice, saluting almost perfectly and gracefully.

Yuzhang smiled and looked at the person he hadn't seen for a long time since he went to the battlefield in Western Europe. His straight body wrapped in the blue military uniform was rigorous and thoughtful, and his expression was calm and calm.But in fact, Munakata Reisi rushed back from the occupied area non-stop after receiving the order, and finally arrived when there were only three hours left before the stipulated time. He didn't even have time to drink, so he changed his clothes again. meet him.

"Spring is here," Yu Zhang said, looking out of the window, with a gentle smile in his tone, "Walk with me to the playground, how about relaxing?"

Zong Xiang was stunned for a moment, but he also knew Yu Zhang's character of not playing cards according to common sense, so he nodded and said, "It's a great honor."

Probably because he hadn't paid attention to the things around him for too long, it was only at this moment that he realized that just as Yu Zhang said, the footsteps of spring were arriving without stopping even when the flames of war were burning.The morning sun was warm and warm, and the sky was a clear blue.But because there was only a heavy spring rain last night, the grass was still wet with dew.The branches and leaves of the trees planted around are already lush, and there are many light pink colors embellished among them. The fresh and clean colors seem to dye the base with a little cosiness.

Yu Zhang walked casually, glanced casually around, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "The spring tree is blooming, why don't you go home."

Reisi Munakata, who had been waiting for him to speak, was a little surprised. Before he could speak, Yuzhang turned his head to look at him, and said, "Just talk."

Yu Zhang paused, took a deep breath, and then spoke again: "The time limit of the military order is too short, you have worked hard all the way, Zongxiang." He paused slightly, and added: "But it is better than the time when the chief general of Barbara came back. later."

Munakata also stopped following him, not surprised by his question, and looked straight at the past calmly, "You mean, the reason for the failure to capture Tokyo this time is that I led the main force of the Fourth Army late?" The tone is flat, but the words and sentences are sharp.

Yu Zhang also got used to his way of speaking, instead of being angry, he just squinted his eyes and chuckled, "I didn't mean that, Munakata." He looked away, slightly raised his head to look at the branches piled with pink and purple flowers beside him, Suddenly asked again: "Are you blaming me?"

Munakata raised his eyebrows lightly, and replied expressionlessly: "You are only carrying out the orders of the Federation Central Committee. Moreover, I also believe that you would prefer to accompany General Kaguto in the Western European theater."

"Ah, you know me well." Yu Zhang put his hands in his pockets, smiled tremblingly on his shoulders, the tail of his long indigo hair swept over his open collarbone, his attitude really seemed to be taking a walk.

The relationship between Jia Judu Xuanshi and Yu Zhangxun is an open secret in the alliance, a partner on the battlefield, and a lover off the battlefield.Even if it was two men, none of them dared to suspect or slander them.Apart from the identities of the two, what is more important is their uninterrupted intimacy and trust with each other.

"It's just that I don't dare." Zongxiang suddenly said again.These words made Yu Zhang's smile froze for a moment, then the smile deepened, and he stared at him in surprise, "There are things you dare not?"

Munakata let him stare, and the hidden exhaustion flashed across his face, almost undetectable, "It's just that I dare not think about it, those people who look forward to regaining the war tomorrow...the reaction after knowing our retreat .”

On the way back, they received the news: the reinforcements of the Union Army had arrived, the weak guards were broken mercilessly, and the recovered area fell again in a blink of an eye.Munakata Reisi frowned when he found out, but in the end he still didn't give the order to return.The elites of the Fourth Army were extremely silent that night, only the sound of marching in the dark night.Even if everyone knows that all soldiers will be punished if they return, they are still not reconciled.

The smile on Yu Zhang's face faded, and he was silent for a long time.An unknown bird's gentle cry sounded, as if waking Yu Zhang Xun from his contemplation. He raised his eyes and looked at Zongxiang who was patiently waiting for him to speak, and sighed: "The guys in the cabinet who only know how to point fingers ah."

"Zongxiang." Yuzhang called him again, with a rare serious expression, and clear voice commented: "You are a sharp sword, both internally and externally."

Reji Munakata lowered his head and chuckled, then pushed up his glasses a little and listened to him continue.

"Not stable enough. So today I will stand here to take your place." Yu Zhangxun's words are just like his own, straightforward and straightforward, without twists and turns and no need to ponder too much, but they have never been an existence that should not be underestimated .

"You're right." Munakata Reishi said frankly.

"You admit it, but you won't change it." Yu Zhang stared at him and laughed again.

Munakata Reishi smiled faintly, noncommittal.

"I don't tell you about those things, you understand, it's useless to think too much." In the end, Yuzhang ended the topic, tilted his head back slightly, stretched his waist, and said in a drawn-out tone: "You're tired too, just be It’s just chatting with me and walking with me, I’m tired of guarding me all the way.”

Zongxiang raised his eyebrows and responded with a smile, but his tense spine still didn't relax at all.Yu Zhang glanced helplessly at the side of his head, said nothing more, and pulled out his hand from his pocket. He took out something from his pocket, casually threw it into the air and then raised his hand to catch it, and walked forward. That lazy and laid-back look is not what an officer should have.

"General?" Munakata noticed the small object that reflected the light and questioned, Yuzhang stopped the movement of his hands when he heard this, turned his head to hold the thing and spread it out for Munakata Reisi to see.It's a bullet.

"A present for a marriage proposal." Yu Zhang explained with a smile, without any intention of hiding it, "Xuan Shi had just been rescued from the battlefield before I left. If he is lucky, a single shot to the heart can save his life." He proposed to me while lying on the operating bed with the bullet that was just taken out," Yu Zhang paused, smiling happily, his eyes narrowed like a sly fox, "then I beat him up Accept it, let him wait until he returns to Kyoto and then kneel down on one knee with the ring and do it again."

"..." Munakata felt that he didn't want to say anything, but Yu Zhang stared at him with a smile, the look of waiting and curiosity in his eyes seemed to be waiting for him to speak.So he moved the corners of his mouth uncertainly and said, "Excuse me, is your behavior an exchange of secrets?"

"Can't you?" Yu Zhangxun smiled innocently.

"I just feel that this is more like something two women would do." Zong Xiang said.

"You and Zhou Fangzun of Barbara are experimental subjects at the same time?" Yu Zhang said.

Zongxiang was taken aback by the sudden jump of the topic, but then he raised his eyebrows with a big smile and looked over: "Oh, since I said that, I'm afraid you don't know what you know, so why ask again."

"What I know is not necessarily the truth. I'm still more curious about what you say." Yu Zhangxun replied frankly.

He looked directly at Yu Zhangxun who was smiling all over his face, and said politely, "Are you threatening me?"

In the eyes of others, it is absolutely impossible to guess how dangerous the words of the two smiling and chatting men are walking.

"I didn't mean that." Yu Zhang stroked the bullet with his fingertips, and said in a gentle tone: "But you also understand that as a chief, you always have to grasp some things about your subordinates before you can rest assured."

"I don't think this can be used as my excuse." Munakata said lightly.

"Indeed." Yu Zhang laughed out loud, "Actually, it's okay to have conflicting positions. If we understand each other, it doesn't matter if we are enemies. Well... Xuanshi was also beaten by me."

Zongxiang was noncommittal, and suddenly there was a rustling in the woods beside him, and some shadow passed by amidst the swaying branches and leaves, making a slight crushing sound.The two looked at each other, then curled their mouths knowingly.

"It seems to have disturbed the beautiful bird." Yu Zhangxun raised his hand and scratched his chin with his index finger, "Please apologize for me."

After Yu Zhangxun finished strolling contentedly, he generously granted Reisi Munakata a day off, and then went back to the office on his own.Munakata raised his hand and rubbed his temples, he had to admit that the accumulated fatigue felt much better after breathing.There was still a smear of blue between the green tree shadows, he walked over and greeted with a smile.

Seri Awashima exclaimed in shock, turned around in a panic and looked at her officer, took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, and said seriously, "I'm very sorry."

"You were the one who arrived first, so there is no need to feel guilty. It should be us who interrupted you, Awashima-kun." Munakata said, looking at the person who still wanted to explain something, he continued: "You heard what General Yuzhang said, and the subordinate's private Life, we have no right to interfere." His chuckling voice was clear and sweet, with some trembling endings.

"Understood." Awashima replied with his head bowed, maintaining this posture until Munakata walked away.She breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't tell why.Awashima raised the hand holding the terminal hidden behind his back to his face, pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.The blue light on the terminal screen went on and off several times before she pressed the number she knew so well.Every number is entered slowly, as if confirming.

When the sound of connecting was heard, she couldn't help but clenched her sleeves tightly, and the forehead that was pressed against the terminal was almost sweating.

"Di-"

In fact, it doesn't matter.

"Di-"

It's just my own selfishness, and it's okay if I can't get through.

"Di-"

She lowered her head and chuckled, and was about to take the terminal away, but there was a connection sound at that moment.Awashima was so stunned that he forgot to speak, and only heard a familiar, slightly frivolous but unsteady voice from the terminal, just like every time they reunited after a long absence, as if they had never been apart For three years, Kusanagi Izumo smiled and said:

"Hey, my beautiful fiancée. Long time no see, miss you so much."
