The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Sometimes, the encounter between people is like a runaway locomotive, and no one knows which track they will collide on.

"Don't answer questions with questions!" Li Xi said with an unhappy look on his face, "Are you involved in this too?"

"Probably..." Hai Ling glanced at the lit room, "Probably soon."

"Clam?"

"I'm working now, and I make more money than running 30 bands. What about you, Li Xi? Are you here for tourism?"

Li Xi was speechless. What should she say?

Tell Hailing: I am driving a MS now and will soon set off to Armenia where conflicts are ongoing?

Perhaps Xiangzi once faced a similar dilemma, except that he had no one by his side...

“I came here with a friend…”

She explained vaguely,

"That's it..."

Hai Ling glanced at Li Xi under the bright lights and did not ask any more questions.

"We're leaving tomorrow. Although it's only for one night, please take care of Lixi."

Li Xi and Hai Ling were chatting, while Deng, who was distracted, had already walked into the mansion.

"Let's talk about Hai Ling later."

Li Xi left a word and headed towards the mansion.

Hai Ling opened her lips slightly, but did not ask, "Are you the pilot of the MS?"

Even if it was, what could she do?

Let Li Xi stop driving MS?

She is just Li Xi's friend, not someone special...

It's still a bit cold on the island at night in May.

At this moment, the lights in the corridor of the mansion inadvertently looked towards the room with the open door.

My steps stopped because of a person... or to be more precise, a photo hanging on the wall.

It was a photo of two little girls about 6-7 years old. The blonde girl with violet eyes looked at the girl with blue hair.

The girl with aqua blue hair looked at the camera and smiled like warm sunshine.

"Xiang...Xiangzi..."

Although there were only photos of her childhood there, Deng recognized her at first sight. The girl with aqua blue hair was Xiangzi.

The blonde figure sitting by the window was startled by her faint voice and slowly turned around.

She is the blonde girl next to Xiangzi in the photo, the first flower of the triangle, the one who suffered endlessly because of Deng's concealment...

"I'm sorry..." Deng didn't dare to look into those moist purple eyes.

She was afraid of being trapped by the sadness and telling the truth.

"So it's Xiao Deng," Chu Hua wiped away her tears. The reef of sadness was once again hidden under the sea. "Deng is the pilot of the MS, right?"

"Ugh?"

Deng raised his head in surprise, and what came into his sight was Chu Hua's gentle smile.

"did you find it?"

Even though she didn't say what she found, Deng still understood what she meant.

Have you found your purpose in living?

Have you found a companion?

"I think... I've probably found it..."

I found a purpose to live for, and a companion who I want to be with for the rest of my life,

"but……"

"I see," Chu Hua saw an abandoned gray-haired dog at Toyokawa Shoko's 'funeral'.

And now she is like a 'house dog' who is hesitant about whether to go home.

Chu Hua took down the group photo hanging on the wall and held it carefully in his arms, "It's enough for me to have this (memory).

What about you, Xiao Deng, do you think it’s okay to continue like this?”

"No…

Do not!

I don’t want this!”

The lamp shook its head desperately,

Chu Hua just smiled and looked at her gently. She wanted Deng to find the answer herself.

And in Deng's heart, from beginning to end, there was only one answer -

Pull those two back!

She didn't want to think about anything else!

"I'm so glad you found me. Remember this time, don't lose me again."

Listening to the gray-haired girl's rapidly receding footsteps, Chu Hua smiled with relief, "Aren't you right, Xiao Xiang?"

Naturally, the photo of Chu Hua holding her in his arms could not answer her question.

"Hey, Xiaoxiang, I've found my goal recently... What do you think of overthrowing the Toyokawa family?"

…………

Running seems to be the first 'superpower' of human beings.

On the East African savannah where the forests are gradually disappearing, the apes who have to come down from the trees look around and see fierce characters like saber-toothed tigers everywhere.

The apes were afraid of pain and could not run fast. Their weapons of attack were at most stones and sticks picked up from the ground.

On that dangerous grassland, without fruits and tender leaves,

Some are giant beasts weighing several tons, and with one sprint, they can leave the apes and small herbivores to eat.

In order to survive, the apes ran and chased desperately!

With the advantages of energy-saving legs and more developed sweat glands, they continue to win in one life-or-death long-distance race after another.

The first 'superpower' of survival has been passed down to this day.

"Driver Gao Song, aren't you going back to rest?"

The maintenance personnel, looking at it strangely, ran into the hangar panting, sweat dripping from their foreheads.

But she no longer had the time to respond. When she stood up again, she looked at Naomi Misora ​​on the steel frame.

Behind her, the dragon Penelope, silent and ferocious,

"What are you here for?"

Naomi Misora's voice echoed in the quiet hangar.

Because of the backlight, Gao Songdeng couldn't see her expression clearly.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

'What am I here for?'

Deng's oxygen-deprived brain was in a state of confusion. How could she convince Naomi Misora ​​to let her fly Penelope?

"Answer me, what are you doing here?!"

It’s definitely not possible to use MS to pick someone up!

but…

but!

'We must bring them back!'

The lamp clenched its fists.

"I'm Penelope's pilot, Takamatsu Touma!"

"Ahh! Why are your words so incoherent?!"

"Now to pilot Penelope!"

"I see. Do you feel there's any danger nearby?"

'I'm sure I'll be rejected...' "Huh?"

"The Newtype's intuition is very trustworthy. Penelope's pilot, Takamatsu Touma, allows you to attack."

"Miss Misora..." Deng thanked her in his heart, and took the simple elevator on the steel frame to Penelope's cockpit.

Naomi Misora ​​approached the lamp and whispered, "Bring them back before dawn, understand?"

"Yes!"

The light responded and quickly jumped into the cockpit.

"Release the fixing device! Move temporary trestle No. 1! Open the hangar door!"

As Naomi Misora ​​gave the order, the originally quiet hangar suddenly came alive.

"Little Light..."

Li Xi, who was chasing the light, looked at all this with some bewilderment.

The sound of machinery running and the shouts of maintenance personnel are endless.

As the hangar door slowly opened, the moonlight reflected on the huge fuselage of Penelope.

The screen lights up all day long.

"Takamatsu-dō, Penelope, attack!"

Deng carefully manipulated the huge machine, bent over and left the hangar.

The steel giant weighing tens of tons looked up at the starry sky.

The next moment, accompanied by a sound like a monster's roar, it seemed to break free from gravity and floated into the air. In the blink of an eye, it switched to a cruising mode like a giant dragon and rushed straight into the sky!

"lamp……"

The black-haired girl's gaze followed the flying dragon until it disappeared from her sight, and then she withdrew her gaze.

Rather than worrying, Li Xi felt more disgusted at the moment.

I hate myself for always being by Deng's side but unable to cheer him up.

Why could that blonde girl do this just by saying a few words?

Li Xi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction, "As expected, my words are of no use at all..."

…………

On the pier by the sea,

"That is…"

"Penelope!" Triangle Chuhua, watching the terrifying war weapon rapidly disappearing into the night sky, uttered the name that Hachiman Kailing had left unsaid in wonder.

She subconsciously hugged the photo tightly in her arms. For some reason, she always had a bad premonition.

It feels like I'm about to lose something important.

Chapter 49: Moonlight and Stars

As the night deepened, Aine's eyelids became heavier due to the heavy training and the unfamiliar boat trip.

But she always woke up suddenly when her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.
