Raphael buried his head between his knees. Abel was met with only a faint whimper.

Able's momentum waned, and he walked silently on the edge of Raphael's bed.

"It's useless to cry. The tears left by the relatives of Clemmont and others could not buy back their lives. Able spoke, "Let me believe in you once more in this action." I hope you can use your strength to atone for your sins. ”

"Hmm." Raphael's muffled voice reached Elle's ears.

Able sighed, stood up and said to Raphael, who still refused to face him, "Hurry up and have dinner." Wait a while and it'll be cold. I hope your body will get better soon, after all, this is how you can complete your part of the task. ”

Raphael nodded.

Seeing this, Able turned and left Raphael's tent and walked slowly back to the dining room.

When Able walked into the restaurant, he found that Bandak and Kant were already sitting at the table, enjoying dinner.

"Captain Able!" Bandak, when he saw Able, immediately stood up and shouted enthusiastically.

Able took a deep breath and suppressed the negativity for a moment. Trying to raise a smile, he strode to the table and greeted Bandak and Kant: "Your Majesty Kant, Bandak Commander. Sorry, I'm late. ”

"It doesn't matter. As it happens, we've just taken our seats. Let's dine together. Kant waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Hmm. Then I'll sit down. Able replied with a nod. and found a chair to sit down.

The three of them waited for the waiter to serve the food, and then quietly began to eat.

Kant was not accustomed to chewing food while talking to others when eating.

After Bandak and Kant ate at the same table several times, they also recognized his habit. And keep quiet with him.

It's just Able, today is the first time he has met Kant and others. Seeing that Kant took the initiative to invite him to dine together, he readily agreed. During the meal, he kept observing the expressions of Kant and Abel. Ten twisted looks.

Kant had always eaten very little, and it didn't take long for him to put down his knife and fork and wipe the grease from his mouth with a napkin.

Able froze as he put the carrot in his mouth, and then lowered the silver fork. Sit quietly where you are.

Kant finally noticed his awkward appearance, and said amusedly: "This is how I have always dined, you don't have to care." ”

"That's right." Bandak looked up from the fierce battle with food and nodded.

"Okay." Able breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the vegetables on his plate with his fork, and continued to eat.

Kant sat aside and asked the two of them, "How is the schedule for tomorrow's visit to the shipping agency?" ”

"Well, I've sent a message to the members of the shipping company. The meeting was scheduled for the morning. Able replied, "They were surprised when they learned of your arrival, Your Majesty Kant. ”

"Well, it's good to be fine." Kant nodded and replied, "What about Bandak?" ”

"I arranged for my soldiers to set off early tomorrow morning to conduct an investigation on the way from here to the ship." Bandak responded with a sideways turn.

"Hmm. Well done. Kant said: "Now that the business has been clearly explained, I will go back to the camp to rest." ”

"Yes." Bandak and Abel nodded to Kant.

"You should rest early, too." After leaving a word of advice, Kant got up and left the restaurant.

After seeing Kant leave, Bandak continued to fight over the food on his plate.

"I heard you went to find Raphael." After taking a bite of food into his mouth, Bandak looked at Able and asked.

Able put down his knife and fork: he had almost eaten.

"Hmm."

"Did he tell you anything?" Bandak is still feasting on his image: "Because I heard that you are his friend of ten years." ”

"Nope." Able frowned and said, "He's in a bad mood. I feel that the state of the whole person is very unstable. ”

"I've been to him once before, and he's told me a whole bunch of things about the gods." Bandak elaborated: "I don't really understand it. ”

"Raphael has a lot of self-confidence, and he was a highly regarded officer before he left the barracks." Abel's eyes wandered.

"The soldiers who didn't leave the barracks," Bandak whispered, staring at the steak on his plate.

"Raphael he's really smart, especially in terms of understanding." Abel turned his gaze to Bandak's body and said, "He has been able to complete all the tasks assigned to us by his superiors. ”

"Maybe it's these experiences that have built up his confidence." Bandak also finished the meal, and the two looked at each other and talked.

"Hmm." Abel agreed: "He was standing at the top of the crowd and shining. After all, he was only seventeen years old when he entered the barracks. I've asked him before what is keeping him going. ”

"What did he say?" Bandak asked, picking his teeth.

He said, "It's an idea." Able didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, and he said, "He said that God is on his side." As long as he wants to do it, he can do it. ”

Bandak frowned at the memory of Abel and hesitated, "Is he religious?" ”

Bandak's knowledge of religion, the occult and so on is in a blank stage, which is why such doubts arise.

"Nope. He only believed in the 'God' in his body. Able closed his eyes and replied softly.

"What a trouble," Bandak read, "and thinking about it this way, his evasive attitude in the past few days is understandable. ”

"The god in his heart has fallen, and it's a good thing for him." Able began, "I'm just worried that he's going to have some new and strange idea." ”

"It's not impossible." Bandak replied, "However, with you by his side to guide him, perhaps he too will be able to break free from his self-isolation and return to the real world." ”

"It's that I used to be too short-sighted. I only saw the aura of a 'smart man' that shrouded him. I didn't notice that things would go in extreme directions. Able raised his hand to cover his face and said in a muffled voice, "Now, it's irreparable." ”

Bandak looked at Abel and said with a very serious look in his eyes: "Actually, it's quite pitiful to keep making excuses to lie to yourself. You have to hold back your friend's will before he breaks down. ”
