"Title Page Serial·Hirou of Rain Chapter 1·"Promotion and Marriage, Double Happiness""
"Since the morning, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit us. After finally seeing off a group of colleagues who came to congratulate us, Ame no Shiru tiredly lay on the sofa, lit a cigar, and looked out the window leisurely, feeling comfortable
The ground blew out smoke rings"
"From today on, I am the colonel of the headquarters. It's funny. These idiots think it's great that they were promoted to colonel just over a year after graduation? You have never seen a real monster..."
"Compared with that bastard Nuo Xia, what do my achievements mean?"
"Xiliu shook his head and was about to put out the smoke ring when someone suddenly knocked on the door. He quickly got up and opened the door. The person who came was the postman who delivered the letter. When he opened the letter, he saw that it was from his girlfriend who was visiting relatives in his hometown.
In the letter, she said excitedly that her parents had approved their marriage and planned to come with her to the g6 branch to preside over and participate in their wedding."
"Hahaha, that's great! Ame no Shiru couldn't help laughing loudly. In her excitement, she couldn't help hugging the postman and kissing him hard on the face. Then she thanked him and closed the door, leaving the young postman behind.
The young man stood there with a confused look on his face..."
——————-
Squeak.
After opening the door, Nuo Xia made a shushing gesture to Siya behind him, then carefully put half of his head in and glanced left and right into the living room.
I saw that the dining table was empty. A table full of sumptuous breakfast was placed there. It was almost cold, and no one moved their chopsticks.
In the corner of the sofa, Bellemeier hugged his knees like a kitten, curled up there without saying a word, while his parents were trying their best to comfort him while scolding some irresponsible bastard.
"Um?"
As soon as he heard the sound of turning the key and pushing the door open, two murderous eyes immediately came to him.
"You still know how to come back? Huh?"
"I've been on the phone for so long, and I haven't come home until now! It's outrageous. Why don't you come here quickly and explain to Bellemare what's going on!"
The parents sang along, their faces filled with indignation, but secretly they were winking wildly.
"..." The girl with a maroon ponytail in the corner of the sofa naturally knew who was back, but she did not raise her head from the beginning to the end. She just bit her lower lip and hugged her knees tighter.
Is this still Bellmere...
Noticing the girl's movements, Nuo Xia sighed softly.
In his impression, Bellemeier had always been someone with a strong character who refused to admit defeat and always had to fight with himself to understand everything. How had he ever shown such an aggrieved look?
Is it too much of a blow?
Nuo Xia pursed her lips and gave her parents a reassuring look, indicating that they were almost done and there was no need to act so devotedly.
Then he took off his coat and hung it on the wall, then strode towards the sofa.
"Ame Shia", who came in shortly after, introduced herself to the Tulip couple and said hello politely, then she was able to find an empty seat next to the dining table and sit down, and quietly looked at Bellemere from the side.
Come.
She has been curious about this Nuo Xia's childhood sweetheart for a long time.
certainly.
At the same time, there has always been a little subtle jealousy in my heart... I was lucky enough to have known Nuo Xia since I was a child and grew up and lived together for more than ten years.
Damn it, why doesn't this opportunity come to me?
Did this woman save the world in her previous life?
at the same time.
"What's wrong with this?"
Nuo Xia sat down tightly next to the girl, smiled and stretched out her hands to hold her slender waist, "You were fine last night, why did you cry like a little cat after not seeing each other in the morning? How embarrassing.
…”
Bellemere's mood was too low, and his personality became abnormal. It was not easy to communicate in this way. He had to use words to stimulate him slightly to get the girl's state back on track.
"Who is crying!"
Sure enough, when he said this, Bellemere, who was hugging his knees and bowing his head in silence, immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then raised his head suddenly, slapped away his stretched out right arm, and Yin Ya was furious.
Bite:
"You...you bastard, you still have the nerve to ask me?!"
Well, this is much more normal.
Only then did Nosha officially get to the point. He lowered his head slightly, looked into Bellemere's glare, and sighed softly: "Is it because of the Gion incident?"
"..." The girl with a maroon ponytail gritted her teeth, "You know what you are asking... Tell me! What is your relationship with her? Why do people in this department say that you two are a couple?"
"Couple relationship?"
Nuo Xia was startled and wondered: "Huh? Have you been misunderstood to this extent?"
"Misunderstanding?" The girl was stunned, looked up at him suspiciously, and frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Well, it's a long story."
He smiled and said:
"Do you still remember the first actual combat assessment I talked about when I returned to Donghai two years ago and told you about my experience in the elite camp?"
"...Well, remember."
Bellemere nodded, "But what's the connection with this?"
"That actual combat assessment was between Major General Gion and I... No, she was still a brigadier general at that time, the first time we met."
Nuo Xia said: "Maybe because of some coincidence, I helped her with some small favors, and we got to know each other as soon as we went back and forth. And probably from that time on, we began to gradually establish a friendship..."
"And you were with her?"
Bellemeier sneered.
"Of course not."
Nuo Xia shook his head and said helplessly:
"Where are you thinking? We just became good friends, and she and I are both swordsmen, so sometimes we often communicate with each other about swordsmanship. It is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings if someone sees..."
"Misunderstand?"
Bellemare clearly didn't believe it, "What about the confession at the investiture ceremony? Was that also a misunderstanding?"
"If that happens..."
Nuo Xia said softly: "I mentioned to you that because of the great significance of the awarding ceremony, every session is held very grandly. Many people come to visit, including many elderly seniors, right?"
"..." The girl nodded without saying anything, just waiting for his explanation quietly.
"Among these old-timers, there is Major General Gion's grandmother."
"The old man is old and not in good health. His only wish before leaving is to see Major General Gion, who has been alone, find a suitable companion..."
Nuo Xia suddenly fell silent, a little unable to speak.
Somehow.
On that sunny winter day, the image of Gion standing up in front of countless people's surprised eyes, striding to the podium, and declaring his love with a smile, came to mind again.
He will never forget the shock and emotion of that day.
But now... she is fabricating these baseless lies to Bellemere. Even if it is just a temporary solution, is it worthy of Gion?
"You mean..."
Bellemeier came to understand a little bit, "That confession was actually a play you performed with Major General Gion in order to satisfy the old man's wish?"
It seems so...
Bellemeier held his chin in thought and remained silent. Although the reason Nosha gave was a bit old-fashioned, it was logical and reasonable.
If it were the current Lieutenant General Nosha of the headquarters, Major General Gion would still be able to express his love in public. How could he be so proactive a year and a half ago when Nosha was still a subordinate?
She raised her head slightly and glanced at Nuo Xia, who looked helpless, feeling a little embarrassed.
——It seems that I really misunderstood Noxia?
After all, she just heard the female major mention a few words casually, and then she became suspicious of Nuo Xia. She also made trouble unreasonably and was sulky all morning. Aunt Tulip couldn't even eat, so she only comforted herself...
"I'm sorry, Noxia..."
The girl bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to apologize, "I was impulsive and didn't understand the situation, so I wrongly blamed you..."
"It's okay." Nuo Xia was silent for a while and then said: "Just clear up the misunderstanding. Breakfast is cold. You haven't eaten it yet? Go and eat quickly."
"Um……"
After all, her parents were present, and there was an outsider named "Ame no Shiru". The girl felt a little embarrassed when he hugged her, so she pushed him away gently, went to the dining table, carried the food, and then returned to the kitchen to reheat the food.
Tulip and the old captain looked at each other with strange expressions.
When Bellemere wasn't paying attention, Tulip kicked Nosha with a bad look on her face.
——The meaning is obvious, so what are you doing? Is this the rhetoric you prepared?
That’s a bit nonsense!
Originally, I saw that you have been quite calm these past few days, and I thought that you were very confident and had already thought of a perfect countermeasure, but this is the result?
Just friends?
Is confession an act?
Just to fulfill the old man's wish before he passed away?
For a while, maybe Bellemere can indeed be fooled, but this kind of thing cannot withstand scrutiny. As long as Bellemere goes to find someone to inquire carefully, wouldn't he be able to find a lot of flaws casually?
not to mention.
In a few days, Gion will return to the headquarters. If the two of them meet, won't this rhetoric push you into the fire pit?
The old couple were heartbroken and stared at him with hatred, but Nuo Xia quietly made a gesture to reassure them.
This, of course, is just a temporary measure on his part.
Just to fulfill the old man's wish before he passed away?
Of course, he didn't expect that he could stabilize the relationship between the harem by relying on such counterintuitive rhetoric.
Since he dared to let Bellemel come to the headquarters and meet Taotu, he was prepared to confess to the three women from the beginning.
but.
The original plan was that he had to wait until Peach Rabbit returned and the three women met in the same room, then he would have a complete showdown, sincerely apologize to his two wives, and use the innate skill of craftsmanship to eliminate his worries in one fell swoop.
But now...
Nuo Xia shook his head, feeling that he still couldn't pass the threshold in his heart. He had only used the spirit of craftsmanship on the Tianlong people. It was supposed to be used exclusively on enemies. Using it on his own wife would be too much...
Should we reveal our true feelings now and respond sincerely, no matter how serious the consequences are, or should we continue to stick to the original plan that was not even a plan?
"Um?"
Nuo Xia suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Xia, who was just aside, disappeared at some point.
He hurriedly walked out of the living room, looked around, and found that Shia had quietly come to the baby's room at some point, squatting beside the bed, and quietly looking at little Nami who was sleeping soundly.
She was so focused that she didn't even notice Nuo Xia approaching her, her eyes shining like little stars.
Are you also attracted by little Nami?
Nuo Xia laughed for a moment and looked at it quietly for a while. He was still hesitating between the two options in his mind, but the guilt in his heart quickly tilted the balance towards the former option.
never mind!
Be honest!
Men, you should still take your own responsibilities!
He no longer hesitated and strode out of the door, heading straight towards Bellemere who was still busy in the kitchen.
But, just at this moment.
Nuo Xia only heard a gentle prompt sound in his mind, and soon, a faint blue prompt box appeared in front of him.
[You have reached the triggering conditions for the temporary task. Do you want to accept the temporary task? 】
[Remarks: This task is a special type of random task. Compared with ordinary side tasks, this task will trigger unpredictable random events after acceptance. The rewards obtained after completion will be more generous, and there will be no penalty for failure]
…
Um?
What is going on?
Nuo Xia looked at the prompt box in front of him in surprise. He had never received a task that was suddenly triggered before, but it seemed that the system prompt box ran out by itself. Was this the first time?
A special random mission...
He looked at the notes carefully and found that no information was disclosed. It seemed that the specific mission description and reward content could not be known until the mission was confirmed.
"Take it."
There was nothing to hesitate. Nuo Xia directly chose to accept it. After all, it was stated in the note that even if he failed to complete this temporary task, there would be no penalty, so there was no need to worry about being cheated.
[You have accepted this temporary task]
[Event triggered]
A brand new text box appeared. Before Nuo Xia could take a closer look, he suddenly felt the world spinning in front of his eyes, and then everything around him was completely plunged into darkness.
I don't know how long it took.
It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, and as if time had jumped for just a moment. When he opened his eyes again, Nuo Xia was shocked to find that he was standing next to the crib.
on a warship.
In all directions, as far as the eye can see, there is the boundless blue sea, the sky is a bit gloomy, there is a drizzle of rain, and the vision in the distance is hazy.
The patrolling sailors were jogging by on the edge of the deck.
Suddenly.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
There was a rapid shouting coming from the watchtower overhead, seemingly calling himself:
"Major General Gion! At three o'clock, a pirate ship was spotted and it is approaching us at full speed!"
