【Nain】You have stars in your eyes

The first thing Slein did after he walked into the banquet hall was to rush into the bathroom. The second secretary Jonia was left outside. Slein felt a little sorry for her, but he needed to calm down.

He took some water and wet his face. When he came in, his face was flushed with anger, but now he is much better, and the red tide on his face has faded.Slein looked at himself in the mirror. There were drops of water on his face, and his well-manicured hair was a little messy. He tidied it up in the mirror.

Didn't that bastard Inaho Kaizuka tell you not to mess up your clothes?His collar was disheveled and his cuffs were wrinkled, such an indecent gesture would have brought disgrace to the country.Slein straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. He calmed down and decided to put the annoying things related to Inafan behind him. He is now a Weisser diplomat with a mission. Dimensions are messed up.

After coming out of the bathroom, Slein didn't find Jonia. When he went to the venue, he found Jonia surrounded by several people.Those people held their wine glasses, talked and laughed, and behaved very gracefully, like well-meaning gentlemen.Slein has seen such people a lot. They are no different from some Martian knights who claim to be nobles. They seem to be of noble origin, but they are actually jackals in formal attire.

Jonia dealt with them with a perfect smile, until Minister Troyet came over and subtly took over the topic, she was greatly relieved.

I am exhausted.Jonia rolled her eyes violently in her heart. She would rather single out an entire company than argue with a group of old foxes.She took a step back and stood beside Slein, looking at the young boss's not-so-thick back with some sympathy. Under the light, the boy's facial features were exquisite and beautiful, and he was talking and laughing happily with the wolves with a smile on his face.

"I didn't see Minister Troyet just now. I thought the attack on the embassy in the morning made the Minister worry about his own safety and canceled the trip." To translate it bluntly, I thought you were too scared to go out Woolen cloth.

"The competent subordinates are already handling the affairs of the embassy. I don't need to worry about it. Since it's not a big deal, I naturally go to the reception and relax." Slein said skillfully. These guys can't easily give the embassy Put on the hat of incompetence, "Besides, an attack of that level is absolutely impossible to deter anyone in the Weiser Empire."

Jonia recalled the old legends about the young Earl. They said he was a bad wolf. The death of his adoptive father, Earl Zazbarum, was still in doubt.

——Srain Troyet is a vicious wolf that would devour his companions!There is such a saying in the Weiser Empire.

However, Jonia thought, only those who can stand out from the pack of wolves can become the most vicious wolf.

Slein is talking to a man. He is one of the largest investors in the military research and development of the Japanese division of the Earth Alliance Army. His father and wife were killed in the Second Earth Fire War. Some people say that he did it to avenge the Martians. Generously support military research and development.He obviously didn't like Slein, and at first Mingchao insinuated, saying that thanks to Slaine who started the war, military investment became valuable.

"One day, the technology of the earth will surpass that of Mars, and it's time for you to taste the feeling of being invaded." This person has been unable to gain the upper hand, and he can't take care of his words.

"I hope that on that day, our technology will exist to protect the people, not aggression and war."

"You, a war criminal, have the nerve to say such things—"

"I am very aware of my status, so I understand better than you that we need to be careful about our words and deeds." Slein said, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to take the other party's words to heart.However, he is worthy of being a person who has been on the battlefield, and the light in his eyes is enough to make the opponent feel intimidated.

Jonia applauded her boss in her heart.She didn't mind continuing to watch, but she was not the role of a vase, and soon someone with a working relationship with the embassy found her, and Slein exchanged glances with her, asking her to handle the affairs there.

Just as Jonia left, a middle-aged man walked over. He was surrounded by several bodyguards. It was the minister who came from the capital. He glanced at the man who lost his posture at the reception.

"Young people are not cautious enough to speak. Your Excellency, don't take offense. After all, he is a well-known kid who grew up in a greenhouse. His understanding of war is definitely not as good as Earl Troyet, who was once a cavalry taxi of the empire... Oh, Disrespect and disrespect, it's Minister Troyet." The minister patted his forehead, "Look at me, I have a bad memory, I always remember the previous title of your Excellency the Minister, oops, but those things are as earthlings... It’s still hard to forget.”

Slein knew that a difficult person was coming, and what he said seemed to be a lesson to the guy just now. In fact, every sentence was aimed at Slein's past, implying that people on earth would not forgive his mistakes so easily.

The minister made a gesture, and the bodyguard stopped the waiter who brought the cocktail.The minister took two glasses, and handed one of them to Slein. He said, "I was negligent in my words just now. This glass of wine should be an apology. Your Excellency, Minister, please."

"Please, Minister." Slein didn't respond to what he said, but simply responded.He clinked glasses and saw the other party drank it all in one gulp, so he had no choice but to finish the glass.

He rarely drank, and at his age he was not even legally old enough to drink in Japan, but he didn't have to obey the laws of Earth.The others knew very well that he had just put down the glass, and the man who provoked him at first also handed him another glass in the name of "apology".

It was champagne just now, and red wine this time.Slein also drank it up in a dignified way.

Others booed intentionally or unintentionally, and followed suit.Slein understood that they probably wanted to embarrass himself. After all, he was indeed a strong drinker, but he was not someone who could be manipulated by others, so he meant to drink a little and forget it.

The rules and core of the political game will not change wherever it goes. The flashy banquet is the venue of the game, such an occasion is also a battlefield, the expensive custom-made suit is the battle uniform, and every word spoken is a weapon to defeat the opponent.

Slein doesn't have any allies. Although Jonia is a good subordinate, it is precisely because of this that she can't speak too much on this occasion.If the subordinates are too sharp, these people will immediately. This is the home ground of the Earth Alliance Army, and he is a lone army that has penetrated into the enemy camp.

But this level of enemies is not enough, there is only one enemy that he can really care about.If not enemies, they should be good friends, right?It's the kind of friends who quarreled and made up again. Of course, no one will admit that they have this kind of relationship, and they will only silently remember it in their hearts.

How important the other party is, as long as you know it is enough.

When he was released from prison and assigned to Earth, he thought about the opportunity, if they were no longer enemies, would it be...

Suddenly thinking of that person, Slein felt depressed, thinking about something, isn't Inafan leaving the earth soon?Slein couldn't recover for a while, so he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, which surprised those people.

Another person joined the conversation, and said in a seemingly relaxed tone: "Is Weiser's queen too young, or too nostalgic? Your position as envoy is very sensitive to the relationship between the two stars. When I heard that the stationed people With Minister Troyet, I thought it was a hint."

"I can't blame you for thinking that way. That peace-loving imperial daughter is the biological daughter of the second generation emperor. Who knows her... No, no, we are too careless. Don't worry about it, Your Excellency Minister. It's all our wild imagination. That's all."

Slein said: "Her Majesty's friendship with the earth is absolutely sincere, so don't worry too much."

What they said seemed to be joking, but it was actually very vicious.

"Her Majesty's sincerity, I believe most people on Earth can feel it, but other people..." The speaker glanced at Slein intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "I'm so sorry, this is very important to Her Majesty. It's rude to be with Weiser." He touched Slein's with his own wine glass, "To the queen and Weiser."

After the other party said so, Slein had no choice but to continue drinking.Slein's head was a little dizzy, he knew it was because of the alcohol, and these people must have done it on purpose, wanting to see him make a drunken gaffe or gaffe at the reception.Slein felt disgusted, but he didn't show it at all, and faced the group of earthlings who made things difficult for him with a smile.

At this time, the minister said coldly: "Speaking of which, the Weiser embassy is really worrying in some aspects. The attack is so easy to happen. Could it be that some spies were mixed into the embassy staff? This is very important for New Awara City. , it seems that there are also hidden risk factors, and I hope nothing happens."

These words really hit Slein's sore spot. The attack came suddenly and the target was very clear. Slein always felt that it had something to do with Her Majesty's proposal to repair the hyperspace gate.

"Minister, please rest assured, we are already tracking down the mastermind." Slein said.

The minister changed his amiable expression, and said in a more emphatic tone: "It's not that I, an old man, are worrying unnecessarily. I heard that the hyperspace gate will be repaired recently. Needless to say, the impact of the last disaster. If the Weiser Empire can't handle this kind of thing well, Restoring the hyperspace gate is such an important event, it's hard to rest assured—"

"You——" Slein burst into a fit of alcohol. These words were not aimed at him personally, but touched the reputation of the empire. He was about to blurt out some words when suddenly someone pressed his shoulder.

"Regarding this matter, the earth will be assisted by me, and the minister can rest assured."

Kaizuka Inaho appeared from nowhere, and his appearance subtly changed the atmosphere.He is not very old, but the honor he has won is more brilliant than every earthling here.However, what is really impressive is not the medal on his chest, but the cold eye patch covering his left eye.

That is the symbol of a hero, giving Kaizuka Inaho a distinctive majesty.

"I have an appointment with Minister Troyet." Inafan had a businesslike attitude, and it was hard for others to say anything, watching him take Weiser's young diplomat away.

Inafan took Slein to a small balcony with no one there, far away from the meeting place, and the floor-to-ceiling glass doors were closed to keep the hustle and bustle inside.

After being blown by the night wind for a while, Slein regained consciousness, only to realize that he was brought out by Inafan in a daze.However, if it weren't for Inafan just now, he might have spoken rudely to the minister under the intensification of alcohol.

"I don't need you to save me." Slein said stiffly.

"I know. I just asked you to sign the papers."

This explanation is reasonable. Inafan handed over the document, and Slein took it with one hand, staring at it pretendingly.

"It's so dark, I can't see clearly." Inaho poked at him shamelessly.

"...Is my eyesight good?" Someone who is a little drunk is not reasonable.

But in fact, I really can't see clearly. Although the moonlight is bright, Slein's eyes are a little blurry, and he always feels that the words on the paper are twisting and twisting as if they come alive.He wanted to look through it, only to find that he was still holding a wine glass in his hand, and there was still unfinished red wine in the glass. Slein felt that he needed a sip of wine to sign his name. He bit the edge of the glass and was about to Drink it, and it will be taken away.

Slein glared at the person who took his drink dissatisfied. He didn't know that his skin turned pink after drinking, and the fair complexion of Europeans looked particularly obvious.Inafan noticed it in the venue just now, under the clear moonlight, Slein's red earlobes are as attractive as ripe berries.

After being taken out of the suffocating venue, Slein relaxed. The alcohol made him show an unusual expression. He squinted, bit his lower lip in dissatisfaction, and flattened his mouth.

He is not happy, but he still has to sign if he is not happy.The content of the last document was destroyed before he had time to read it carefully, but in fact it doesn’t matter whether he read it or not. Slein has already guessed about the content.Slein touched his breast pocket with his free hand, and suddenly smiled smugly: "Ah, I didn't bring a pen." So I won't be able to sign tonight, even for one night, let's keep him for another night... …

"I have it here." Inaho said very ignorantly, and took out his pen.

Slein took the pen, but didn't sign it right away.Inafan took the red wine glass from Slein, and took a sip from the place where his lips touched just now.

"Japanese law stipulates that people under the age of 20 are not allowed to drink alcohol, so don't break the law knowingly, Captain Kaizuka." The drunk on Mars muttered and accused him.

Inafan sighed, put the wine glass on the balcony, he walked up to Slein, and Slein took a step back warily, but the other party grabbed his tie.Slein held things in both hands and was grabbed like this. Inafan loosened his tight tie, "It's hard, I need to relax after drinking." As he said, he untied him After a few buttons, Slein's hair slipped a little, and he raised his hand to put it back on his ears.

No wonder there was always a feeling of suffocation with his neck being tightened. Slein suddenly felt much better now, he could finally breathe smoothly, and his mood was much calmer.Slein stared blankly at the person in front of him. He had never looked at each other calmly at such a close distance before. Inafan's facial features were not very outstanding, but they were good-looking and attractive. It turns out that his eyelashes are so fine. The red eyes are also mixed with a touch of light brown, so he looks so gentle...

Slein's heart was beating wildly again after he had calmed down, he felt inexplicable.

Suddenly his neck was touched, and his fingers slid over his Adam's apple, comforting him like stroking a restless kitten. The man said to him under the moonlight: "I've been tired all this time, thank you for your hard work."

Slein dropped the pen with a trembling hand. The pen rolled around a few times and fell through the gap in the balcony railing.

It seemed that the signing could not be done again, and Slein was secretly happy.

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful." Inafan didn't seem to notice that the pen fell off, he said this, but stared at Slein.

"The current moon is the wreckage that was half blown up." Slein was wondering why Inaho suddenly said something strange when he didn't look at the moon.

"..." Inafan rarely looked like he didn't know how to respond.

"I remember the moon was like this at that time." Inaho seemed to ease his ups and downs, and said again, "I was on the earth, and I saw you duel with another machine on the moon through my left eye. It was very exciting. Tower Arcis is like a silver-white shooting star, I think it is very beautiful."

"Your orange has always been an eyesore." Slein recalled the past, said so, but couldn't help laughing, "It's always... you can spot it at a glance, it's really an eyesore."

The tie was suddenly tightened again, and Inafan pulled him towards him, staring at him for a long time and quietly.

Slein was a little dry-mouthed by him, he hurriedly pushed him away, and pretended to pick up the wine glass that had been put down in order to hide his absence.The place where Inaho just drank it was still wet, he stuck his lips to it in a mysterious way, and slowly drank the remaining liquor.

The rim of the glass was cold, which made him feel disappointed.

Slein looked up at the moon, indeed, it was still beautiful even though it was incomplete.Inafan walked to his side and looked up at the night sky with him. Slein squeezed the document tightly. Maybe this is the only chance to enjoy the moonlight with this person.

For some reason, when I looked at it, I was no longer looking at the moon, but at the face of Inaho, who was obsessed with the moonlight without realizing it.Slein felt that this "enemy" looked more and more pleasing to the eye. Alcohol fueled a certain desire hidden in his heart, and Slein vaguely seemed to know what he wanted to do.

Just once, he also wants to conquer and occupy this person.

"Go to the room." Slein said, licking his lips nervously, "There should be a pen in the hotel room, and I will sign it for you."
