Chapter 274: Tranquility (2-in-1)
In the middle of the playground were three huge bonfires that had just been erected in the evening. The three piles of flames are far enough apart to make room for a large open space for people to entertain and laugh.
In this way, Heliga and Faye quietly blended in with the crowd. Accompanied by the rhythm of the music, the two acted tacitly, and everything was silent.
"That's amazing...... "Heliga exclaimed, "you've always remembered." ”
"Well, I occasionally practice on my own." Fei smiled slightly—Helriga naturally knew some of the compulsory etiquette lessons of the nobles of the Empire: dancing. Faye didn't know anything about this, but during her time in Libel, she learned some basic things from Princess Kolotia at two of the Queen's Reception dinners.
"Really...... I've been working hard where I can't see. Heliga sighed softly, and at this time, the song was over, and the people in the center of the dance floor also stopped and rested for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Heliga also looked around—much better than he had imagined. Allen, who had always harbored an inferiority complex for his lover, finally mustered up the courage at this time and invited Brecht, who looked a little surprised, to dance; Riene looked at Alyssa with a subtle expression, and then at his sister with a strange expression, who seemed to be still entangled and distressed, and Elfin and Olibat on the side were making fun of him; Even Senior Sister Angelica, who was under house arrest by Marquis Rogner, also changed into a luxurious evening dress, and hugged Senior George of the Technical Building awkwardly.
In general,The party of this school festival,It's really like endless happiness under a peaceful life.,People don't feel the sense of urgency that the black clouds are about to destroy the city.。 If he hadn't been staring at the undercurrent all the time, he might have sighed from the bottom of his heart that such a life is really peaceful and beautiful.
From just now, he calmly invited Fei to dance, and the latter readily agreed, and the rest of the classmates looked at him with all kinds of complicated eyes, but none of them disturbed or asked Hailiga what was going on. Heliga didn't know how to explain it, although he did promise Fei, just as everyone was obviously curious, but they all kept their sanity enough.
Perhaps, everyone can feel something from it, maybe something? Heliga thought to himself. The big guys, like themselves, knew early on what had happened this afternoon—the news from the military department, at least the people of the aristocracy and the reformers who were on the side, and the people of the military. But they still chose to come here as originally planned, to participate in a seemingly unnecessary student activity.
I'm afraid they all know that this is probably the last good and peaceful time they can enjoy before the war, right?
That's why it's like this?
"I'm a little tired." Fei said softly, moving her ankles a little unnaturally. Obviously, Physical's sneakers are a little unsuitable for this kind of occasion - Helriga thought and said, "So, let's go over there and rest for a while?" ”
The two of them walked through the crowd in tacit understanding, and at the beginning of the next song, the crowd that had calmed down for a short time would fall into joy again, and if they didn't leave now, they would have to constantly disturb the interest of others later. Heiliga took two bottles of drink and walked to the steps at the edge of the playground, where Fei was already sitting, beckoning to him.
"It's incredible...... Helliga and Faye said as they sat side by side, looking at the campfire and the joyous crowd.
"What's wrong?" Heliga was stunned, he rarely saw Fei take the initiative to make and express his exclamation like this. Most of the time, Fei is the one who is silent, at most, occasionally makes a targeted reply or two based on the words of others.
"It's hard to say...... Probably, I just have a feeling that I don't want to leave. Fei smiled bitterly, "It's just an ordinary and calm daily relationship...... Although I have had various internships and adventures with my classmates in Class VII, I ...... to Edel and them."
"The words of the head of the regiment, you can probably understand a little?" Heliga whispered. Lujia's words, Hailiga had relayed to Fei, and now that she thinks about it, she has understood more things.
"I'm not going to leave it at that, but, well, let's just count it like that." Fei winked playfully, "I've also thought carefully about what you told me before - if that's the case, then my goal will be clear after that." ”
"If you really care about it...... Hmm, I think about it. After the Civil War, I wanted to see the canyon with my own eyes. Heliga thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be close to Oliebat's mother's hometown. ”
"That's what he wants you to do?" Fei was puzzled.
"Not really...... But I always felt that there was also a need for some specific arrangement. Heiliga shrugged, "The specific situation will be discussed with him when the time comes." Compared to that...... I say. Heiliga said softly, "For Class VII...... What do you think about your next move? ”
"Hey, even I can understand the peculiarities of the situation, so you don't have to beat around the bush." Fei patted Helliga lightly, "I know what you want to say, it should refer to the people in this class, the next change of position, right?" ”
“…… Oh, yes. You know that. Heiliga was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Those who have their own positions and want to survive the civil war as observers first, or just want to protect themselves...... People like Macchias and Jusis are destined to survive the civil war by pretending not to exist. I took on the task of protecting Elphen, and naturally I didn't casually show my presence in the midst of a civil war. There were also others, such as Eliot, who was born in the military department, and Gaius and his hometown, who had long avoided war, but inevitably fell into disputes after the war...... Something like that. ”
"So, you're a little confused, what are they going to do with what might happen next, right?" Fei smiled, in stark contrast to Helriga's doubts, "I said...... Laura said before that you always felt a little out of place in this class...... I didn't understand what she meant before, but now I do—if you're worried that such a contradiction, something bad will happen at school, then you should be thinking too much. ”
"......" Heiliga did not speak, but looked at Faye quietly, waiting for the latter to continue.
"Although I may be exaggerating a little...... But you also know that all the time, in Lieber, in Cross Bell...... The people I know and associate with are all because of your existence. Although I was very happy and good with them, I always felt that there was something wrong with them...... However, even though this school, this class, in a sense, was also made up by you and Olybat, I didn't feel that way, and really regarded it as an irreplaceable existence - in the previous words, "family". I know them well and know exactly what they do. Maybe after that, something inevitable will happen, but at least now, at the moment of danger - Class VII is Class VII, regardless of position and origin, regardless of identity. ”
"I see...... It looks like that's really the case. Heliga was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Faye meant—about these things, because Heliga knew too many things, so he would overthink some things. Even, he began to feel that the students of Class VII, who were from different backgrounds and positions, might have some disagreements and infighting when the war came, but he ignored their growth like Fei.
Before Fei came to Tolz, she had always been by her side, but there was no more, providing her with space to play and express herself. However, in Tolz, she not only joins the gardening club that is decided by her own preferences, but also becomes friends with Laura, Alyssa, Emma and others, from the daily news to gossip to all kinds of shopping-related things that girls like—these things are no longer the same as they were when they were with Liber, but they are just at the behest of Heliga. It is precisely for this reason that when Fei decided to go to Crossbell, she calmly and resolutely stated that she would not help herself lie - because it was not only a betrayal of these friends, but also an infidelity to everything she had experienced and witnessed for nearly half a year. From this moment on, Faye began to become what both Heliga and Luga wanted her to be: she had her own opinions, and she was no longer entangled in Helica's past or her past. Hailiga believes that from now on, if Fei introduces herself to a stranger and hides his origins, it will not be because of unconfidence in his origins, or the fear of possible disgust for the other party, but simply because he thinks it is unnecessary. This fundamental change in mentality was something that Helriga had never anticipated.
This is true of the Philippines, and so are the others. Heiliga recalled that although he was not the first to enter the class, and had not seen them until the end of the third internship, he had heard about those things and felt the same in his later common life: because of what happened to his sister, coupled with the infection of the atmosphere of absolute support for Prime Minister Osborne and the reformers in the slums of the imperial capital, and the prejudice against the aristocracy, he gradually untied the knot in his heart in getting along with the classmates of Class VII, and learned to judge a person with his own eyes. Instead of blindly hating people of aristocratic origin; Alyssa went from being frank at the beginning to concealing her surname, and then losing her temper with the sudden appearance of Sharon, and finally when there was a terrorist attack in Luray, she calmly and firmly negotiated with her mother, breaking the invisible barrier between mother and daughter, and impressing the always stern President Irina; From the beginning of Jusis's pretense of coldness, unwilling to get into trouble with others, even if there is any advice, it is only a side-by-side indifference, to the later initiative to help the classmates of the riding club, to the hot fight with Gaius, who is also keen on equestrianism, and then to participate in the invitation of the second chess club to fight against Macchias, just to use his own twisted way to contribute to the forced separation of the chess club, and so on - all show their growth.
This growth may not be enough to face the turbulent era ahead. But at least it is enough to unite them in the face of this bond and maturity in the moment of change. After that, it can only be left to the goddess to decide.
Of course, for Oliebart and himself, Ben must also be able to live up to their expectations, which is to be the "light" that breaks the shackles that bind the empire - although such expectations are nothing more than Olybart's own unilateral wishful thinking, but Heiliga feels that he has a good eye for people, and this hypothesis, which sounds almost delusional, is actually a little bit possible.
"I see...... It seems that as you say, I was negligent in this regard. Heiliga laughed, "I'll figure it out later...... Hmm, doesn't seem right to say compensation? ”
"I think it's enough if you can explain your absence and apologize." Fei said lazily, "Except for me and Laura, who know you well, everyone else seems to have a lot of complaints about this...... Not to mention Elliot as a creator of music. ”
"Alas...... He's very serious on this topic, and I'm sorry for it. Heiliga said in a deliberately exaggerated tone, making the latter giggle.
"By the way, this is for you...... Chloe gave it to me, and he said you might be able to use it. ”
"It's ...... Conductive crystallization circuits? Could it be ......" Heiliga said when he saw the small dark green bead that Fei handed him, looked at it for a moment.
"Hmm...... That's it. It is said that Chloe contacted Senior George a long time ago. Although he is usually like that, he is unexpectedly very attentive to this kind of thing. Fei nodded, "If you have a chance, let's watch it together." ”
"Hmm...... I don't know when it will be, though. Helliga put away the crystallization circuit and said. As for what was going to happen next, he and Olibart didn't know what was going to happen.
Not only him and Oliebat, but also high-ranking figures, including the entire empire, probably could not have imagined at this moment that the so-called civil war that followed was nothing more than an absurd farce directed by individual characters.
"Next song...... It seems like the pace is going to be fast. How about a challenge? Hearing the variation of the music, he suddenly became enthusiastic and excited, and Heiliga looked at Fei on the side with a wicked smile and said.
"Okay." Fei was not afraid and smiled back.
