The shining Shoko Toyokawa

The second time was when I learned that Lupa was going to space—

That day, she was filled with joy and wanted to tell Lupa that she had found a good job.

But she told her: I am going to the universe...

After that, they had a big fight.

They said they were arguing, but in fact, Xiaozhi was just angry on one side, and he and Lupa parted on bad terms...

At that time, Xiaozhi was only thinking about himself, but he didn't know how Lupa felt. Did she feel that she was a burden to her friends and hoped that Xiaozhi could live a better life?

Of course Xiaozhi wouldn't know these things.

She is so cool,

Countless smiles, countless times of care, can't make her open her heart.

So, when Lupa wanted to leave, she certainly couldn't keep her.

"I want to join Thornless!"

Tears of regret welled up in the girl's eyes.

"Even if the hope is slim, I still want to try, for that..."

"A world where people are not divided into two categories and treated differently!"

.........

Meanwhile, in the distant asteroid belt,

Lupa, wearing a pilot suit with noticeable signs of repair, swore an oath before the blonde girl wearing a steel mask:

"I want to join Ave Mujica, for that world...where friends of different identities can be together without worries."

Chapter 40: Let’s move on

"That's it..."

Maya had nothing to say.

"Then come on, we will find a way to help you find her."

“Which…”

Looking at the girl who kept crying, Maya hesitated and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I...I just..."

"I just feel like dying..."

Of course Xiaozhi couldn't say such words in front of so many people.

As an adult, Maya did not ask any further questions, but turned her gaze to Renai.

Jinna understood immediately and walked to the back seat and sat down, patting Xiaozhi's back.

"What are you doing? Everyone is watching!"

Xiaozhi, who was like a hedgehog, was frightened. She wanted to get angry, but the eyes of others were focused on her, so she decided to endure it for the time being.

Rencai thought she had handled it perfectly, and raised her head towards Maya with a little pride, as if to say: Praise me!

But she soon stopped laughing.

The more Xiaozhi took a step back, the angrier he got. The more he endured, the more he thought about it.

Very quickly, he elbowed Rencai's kidney.

"!!!"

Renai almost jumped up from the chair in pain, turned around and glared at Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi was not to be outdone, staring at her with an expression that said "I am very unhappy", trying his best to control his facial expression, as if he wanted to make himself look more fierce.

But her eyes were red and there were still traces of tears on her tender face, which really did not seem intimidating.

"OK OK"

In order to prevent the two 'wild cats' from really fighting, Maya hurriedly stopped them.

"Hiina, your match is about to start, stop making trouble."

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Maya. You have to take care of the child at this time."

Two children...ah, two girls looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, with a synchronization rate of 100%.

"You can only show off your prowess in mock battles,"

Who else but George the Tiger of Gaul could have mocked them?

Can Rencai tolerate being looked down upon by others?

I can't bear it any more!

"Yes, we are just 'kids', but we are much better than some of those guys who are cowards!"

George's scarred face instantly turned red, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

"When I was fighting bloody battles in Gaul, you were just a schoolboy!"

"Oh, really? But I dare you to hit Caius, don't you?"

Mr. Gaulish Tiger was stuck, and took several deep breaths before saying, "Provocation doesn't work on me. Only if you, the Thornless, defeat me and prove your strength, will I join you."

"Don't regret it when the time comes!"

Looking at the Gallic Tiger who could quarrel with a child and still win, Maya was speechless.

what?

She can't argue with him?

That's fine.

After arguing with the Gaulish Tiger, Rencai immediately turned around and looked at his other "opponent" with an "unhappy" look.

And Xiaozhi has already turned his head away.

She finally realized that Renna was a complete idiot.

Arguing with a fool is contagious.

"Mr. Martin, please don't take the bet seriously."

While Rencai was away playing, Maya said to George, who was two rows behind her, "It's your choice whether to join or not."

"No, Captain Maya, since I said it, I will definitely do it! But what do you think? I don't think you are as motivated as a child."

"In other words, can we trust you?"

The veterans gathered around the Tiger of Gaul, all looking at Captain Maya below.

Maya looked at them one by one.

After a moment, she said calmly: "Whether you believe me or not, Wu Ci will continue to move forward."

There is not much point in saying nice things to these old-timers.

Maya simply stood up and looked them in the eye, "All I can promise you is that I will be at the forefront of every battle."

The veterans remained silent. Not all of them were as carefree as Xiaozhi.

Many of them have elderly parents and young children to support. If the Maya "flag" is just a flower stand, a guy who speaks some nice words to deceive people, they won't bother at all.

But they had asked someone to find out Maya's name, and they knew that at least she would be at the front, and that was not a lie.

Stepping onto a battlefield with slim chances of winning has always been a difficult decision.

Maya didn't urge him, nor did she say anything nice.

In fact, a few days ago, she was just like these veterans,

I feel like... I don’t want to care about anything anymore.

Chu Hua looked at her and suddenly felt that Maya was not so similar to Xia Ya, nor to Xiangzi...

…………

The 'resurrection match' where three players competed for one spot was quickly concluded.

After a fierce battle, Rencai won this spot.

The four who advance will still follow the two-to-one format, with the two from the winners group vying for first place and the losers group vying for third place.

This time, Rencai's opponent is George...

In other words; Maya's opponent is Chuhua...

When the news came out, the blond entrepreneur waved and called the organizer's staff over.

"I…"

She wants to give up.

But in the audience behind her, countless eyes were looking at this side,

If she abstains, many people, including gamblers, and those with ulterior motives will say there is something fishy going on.

Caius might also seize on this point and hype it up.

But Chuhua knew...

If she doesn't give up,

If she got into the simulator...

I will definitely give it my all.

Not to mention that this might affect Maya's plan to win the championship, Chu Hua finally saw a little hope and really didn't want to fall into despair again.

Perhaps for her, the truth is a sharp knife that cuts through people. Although lies cannot cure the "disease", they will not make the condition worse.

"I abandon..."

"Chuhua, are you okay?"

Maya's slender white hand fell on Chuhua's shoulder.

Chu Hua looked back and saw the other person shaking his head slightly at her.

This time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nothing, I just want to ask about your schedule after the game."

She dismissed the staff without blushing or beating her heart, and turned to look at Maya, her expression becoming more complicated.

"Maya...I,"

"I know,"

If it was the real Maya, of course she couldn't see through Chuhua's thoughts.

But how could Maya not know what she was thinking...

"Don't worry, Chuhua. Let's... just keep moving forward. If we stand still, nothing will change!"
