When Mutt woke up, he was in a daze.
He was sitting sideways on the major general's lap like a child, leaning against the major general's chest, and was held in his arms by the major general, while the cold major general was bringing the spoon to his mouth, coaxing gently in his ear He opened his mouth.
If Mute hadn't seen his familiar hands and feet, he would even wonder if he had regressed to childhood for some reason.
He blinked and blinked again, trying to mobilize his still somewhat confused brain to think about what happened.
Well, something happened again with the princess.
That's not the point.
His inexplicable small universe suddenly exploded and produced very strange abilities.
That's not the point either.
After that, he seemed to have been in a drowsy half-awake and half-sleep state, not very conscious.
... This is not the point!
The point is—even if he is not very conscious, he still has a vague memory. He still remembers very clearly that in the past few days, he was hugged and coaxed by the major general to feed him like this every day .
...
……………
Seek, lose, remember.
Mutt, who was completely awake and regained his sanity, was in a trance and was hit so badly that he wanted to lose his memory. The major general who was feeding at a fixed time and time every day here noticed the strangeness of the boy in his arms. He probably got used to it in the past few days. The young man who opened his lips obediently to eat as long as the spoon came to his mouth for the first time, stared at the spoon handed in front of his eyes straightly. With those eyes full of hatred and bitterness, he wished that the spoon would disappear in front of his eyes in an instant. .
Well, it seems that he has really regained his sanity.
The major general thought so, and looked at Mute who was staring at the spoon and pursing his lips, apparently not intending to open his mouth to swallow, thought for a while, and raised his hand calmly.
So, the boy just watched helplessly and foolishly as the spoon on his lips was lifted up and entered the major general's lips.
He stared dumbfounded at the major general drinking the soup in the spoon, and lightly pursed his pale lips.
... If his memory is correct, he has already used this spoon to drink several mouthfuls of soup just now...
Major General, I remember that you love clean things very much. Is it really okay to just use the things I licked
…
Speaking of licking.
A vague memory suddenly jumped out of my mind.
The fine black hair hanging down from above and scattered in the corners of his eyes, the warm breath brushing against his cheeks, and the heat ignited on the skin by the tip of his tongue gently licking the corners of his lips...
With a bang, Mute felt his brain explode.
He took advantage of me!
At this moment, the young man whose face was originally fair and tender and flushed was only this sentence over and over in his mind.
He actually licked... licked, licked...
Even if it was the rant in his head, he couldn't yell out that sentence, he could only raise his head, and glared angrily at the major general who took advantage of others' danger.
As soon as he looked up, he met those dark blue pupils.
Apparently sensing that he was awake, the major general looked down at him.
The shimmering jet-black hair is scattered in the corners of the long and narrow phoenix eyes. The ice-like appearance has the coldness of ice and snow, but it also has a delicate and innocent beauty.
Thin lips, the color is quite light, but they have a pearly luster like smooth porcelain.
…
The young man suddenly had a feeling that he was the one who took advantage.
no no no! Even if you are beautiful and prosperous, you can't just take advantage of others!
One bang, then decline.
Just when Mute was thinking about who was taking advantage of whom and forgot the anger in his stomach and just tangled up in his mind, the expression on the face of the man in his arms changed several times in just a few minutes. Major General Troll of the color added fire again.
He lowered his head slightly and leaned close to the ear of the child in his arms.
His lips were almost on Mutt's ear, and the breath he exhaled passed over the pinna.
The voice was as cold as ever, but now it was a little bit lower. It came out of his mouth and penetrated into the ears of the young man.
"continue?"
The major general hummed softly, the extremely light voice seemed to be whispering in the ear, shaking the eardrum and penetrating into the deepest part.
That low sound of um, cold, seemed to be emotionless, but the lingering sound had a slight upward trace, and suddenly turned into a tick mark, which made people's hearts tremble along with the eardrums.
Shut up shut up shut up shut up!
The boy covered his ears, blushing.
With this kind of soft and numb voice, how can I just lean on my ear and say it's a foul——
Your face is foul enough! How can you still live if you use your voice to open and hang up others? !
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
At this moment, Mutt had completely forgotten about the matter of a certain major general taking advantage of others to play hooligans.
...
……………
"His Royal Highness asked him to play an instrument by name?"
The blue-haired lieutenant colonel's expression changed.
"No, absolutely not! Your Excellency, Major General, how can you let such a monster approach Her Royal Highness, once the Queen has something to do—"
"The summoning of the princess."
Major General Troll said lightly.
"You want to refuse?"
"..."
Via was at a loss for words. Indeed, the princess asked to summon Mute to play the piano for her, and there was no reason for her to refuse.
But even if he didn't think of a way to refuse for the time being, as long as he thought of the terrible end that the monster would cause when he hurt the princess, Via gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
"Even so, we can't let that monster—"
"Via."
The major general interrupted Weiya coldly. He got up, and his slender figure cast a long shadow on the ground.
"follow me."
Rear Admiral Troll took his blue-haired subordinates to the top floor of the Ishtar ship, where his room was located. Via has been deprived of the right to enter the top floor by him, and cannot enter unless he personally orders it.
Standing again at the entrance to the top floor, Via took a deep breath, took out the guns from his waist and the blades in his boots, and handed them to the guards guarding the entrance.
Then, Lieutenant Colonel Qingfa was allowed to enter the top floor.
Major General Troll entered the huge room first, the door was wide open, obviously waiting for Via to enter by himself.
Via clenched the hand hanging by his side slightly, then let it go, and he quickly walked into the room. The moment he entered the room, the door automatically closed behind him.
He looked up, and his gaze was exactly on the boy sitting on the silver-white sofa in the hall.
The hairs all over the Lieutenant Colonel's blue hair stood on end at this moment, and his muscles tensed to the limit at this moment. The young man's look at him was like a monster's hideous giant mouth, as if he was going down. It would tear him apart in a second—the huge sense of vigilance and tension that surged from the bottom of his heart made him touch his waist almost reflexively.
Feeling empty with his hand, Via remembered that his weapon was confiscated just now.
His hand rested on the empty waist for a long time before he put it down stiffly. He pursed his lips tightly, walked forward slowly, and walked towards the monster with human appearance. He stared at the monster without blinking, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
"'Ga'?"
Mutt had just finished reading the information on 'Gal' sent to him by the major general. His fingers were a little high in the air, and the light curtain suspended in front of him disappeared into the air.
He looked up at Via who was walking towards him, and the naked vigilance and defense in the blue-haired lieutenant colonel's eyes made him stunned for a moment.
Via looked at him as if looking at something terrifying and dangerous.
Mute suddenly remembered that when he stood in front of Major General Troll to stop the bullets, Beate, who was shooting from the opposite side, looked at him in the same way.
They looked at him as if they were looking at a terrible monster.
"why?"
The boy looked at Via and asked.
"Why can't I go see the princess?"
He has been very worried since seeing the princess lying in a pool of blood last time, and it happened that the princess summoned him this time, so he naturally wanted to go and have a look.
Regarding his request, the major general didn't say anything, it was regarded as acquiescing, but Lieutenant Colonel Via strongly opposed it.
"...you should know what you are."
"'Gal'?" Mutt shook his head, "I don't know, but if I do have that kind of power and characteristics, then how about treating me as 'Gal'?"
In Mutt's view, the so-called "Gal" in these populations is nothing more than people who were called superpowers in their era.
In his time, the existence of so-called espers had yet to be verified, but the fact that he himself was one of them struck him as inconceivable.
"..."
Hearing Mute frankly admitted that he was 'Gal', Via was taken aback for a moment.
From childhood to adulthood, every human being has been instilled in one thing repeatedly in education—"Gal" is a mutated monster, a monster that has no humanity and only knows destruction and killing. In many video clips that Via has seen, those 'Gal's who have awakened their power are all crying out in pain and refusing to admit that they are 'Gal', each of them seems to have gone crazy, and their strength is rampant to resist the guards This led to extremely tragic consequences, destroying countless buildings and killing many people. In the end, he was besieged and killed by the guards in the agony.
It was the first time for him to see Mutt admitting that he was 'Ga' without any shame or pain.
The boy's flat tone of saying 'I am Ga' is like saying 'I am human' is an understatement.
Via originally thought that if Mutt crazily refused to admit that he was 'Ga', he would have to force Mutt to recognize the reality that he was a monster. But now that Mute admits it so frankly, he doesn't know what to do.
He sorted out his confused mind a little bit, and then continued.
"Since you know what kind of monster you are, you shouldn't..."
"Wait a moment."
The boy raised his hand.
"I said, I could be 'ga,' but I didn't say I was a monster."
"What's the difference?"
Via looked at Mute blankly and asked.
"Yes, it's very big." The boy frowned, and looked at Via, "Why do you think 'Gal' is a monster?"
"That kind of terrifying power is not something humans can possess. You should remember what you did to stop the bullet. With just one thought, you can distort and shatter objects in the distance. You can easily tear apart a person's body. It even destroys a city and kills countless people." Via stared at the childish child and said every word, "This is something only monsters can do."
"You don't understand, every time 'Gal' appears, how many innocent citizens will die at their hands." He said, "Such monsters should not exist, 'Gal' is a heresy, a mutation, their birth was originally Distorted, only when all the 'Gals' die can humanity get back on track."
Mutt was silent for a moment.
"I really don't understand..."
He said softly, closing his eyes, the slender eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, he took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes again.
"Do you know that a long, long time ago, when humans were still living on the earth, the level of civilization was still very low at that time, and there was only hand-to-hand combat between humans."
He said calmly, "Via, if you go back to that time with a laser gun, you can shatter objects in the distance with just a flick of your finger, and you can easily kill anyone... you alone, You can kill the people of a city."
"So, can I say that you are a monster?"
"It's different!"
Via retorted subconsciously.
The boy looked up at him, his dark pupils were astonishingly bright at this moment.
"What's the difference?" the boy stared at him and said, "What's the difference between you to them... and 'Gal' to you?"
What's the difference
Via was momentarily stunned.
However, the loss of consciousness was only for a moment, and the strong will he had cultivated in the war for a long time brought him back to his senses immediately. He thought that his momentary distraction must be due to the influence of the powerful spiritual force of 'Ga'.
"It's different." He said firmly, "I'm a human being, and 'Gal' is a monster."
"..."
The room fell silent for a while, Mute opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
He is not a human being of this era, and he does not understand why people of this era have such deep-rooted hatred for 'Gal'.
He even felt a little excited when he first learned that he might have superpowers. However, Via's reaction was like pouring a basin of ice water on his head.
He looked at the vigilant and hostile eyes Via looked at him, and he remembered Beata's frightened eyes as if he was looking at a monster.
…
Robin, Maya, and the teenagers on the Emperor Star who once looked at him with admiration... What kind of eyes would those people he knew or didn't know look at him when they knew that he was 'Gal'
The boy looked at his hand with a confused look. He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked at the major general beside him.
During the conversation between Mutt and Via just now, Major General Troll had been sitting quietly by the side, watching their conversation, with his slender legs crossed and his hands clasped on his knees.
It wasn't until Mute turned his head to look at him that he got up and walked two steps to Mute's side.
He reached out and rubbed the boy's head with bony fingers.
He had no intention of letting Via meet the child at first. As a boss, he knew how stubborn Via was. But since the kid insisted, he brought Via along.
The boy looked up at him, with a bit of confusion and confusion in his eyes.
"Major General... Do you also... fear and loathe 'Ga'?"
Looking at the boy's bright black pupils, the young major general pondered for a moment.
For him who is not good at words, it is very troublesome to reassure the child's doubts with words.
So, he chose the easiest way.
Troll leaned over, cupping the cheek of the child beneath him in one hand.
He lowered his head, leaned closer, and put his cool lips on the child's soft cheeks.
He held the child's head and kissed the child's cheek.
Mute: "..."
Major General, is it really okay for you to take advantage of a disagreement and play hooligans? !
Via: "..."
In a word, that vulgar Robin often talked about it, a sentence that once made him extremely disgusted.
The lieutenant colonel with green hair felt that only that sentence could express his entire mood at this moment.
Beep the dog!
