At this moment, the words softly asked what was in his heart, and the carefree beauty in front of Fangran looked slightly surprised.
He was speechless for a while, then looked at him and chuckled with understanding:
"You want to ask why I joined an association that is completely hostile to her, even though I am Ling's friend?"
When she revealed her intention, she was both curious and puzzled. Fangran nodded,
After that incident in the Arctic, I was convinced that she was Ling's closest and most trusted friend. Even if I didn't ask specifically, I could imagine that they knew each other as early as the last century, when they were not as powerful as they are now.
We must have gone through many stories together to have such a strong bond now.
So Fangran was a little confused,
As Ling's best friend, maybe even half a relative, why would Trinity join the association?
After all, she was born in the Nightless Palace, and even if she became a wanderer's song, Ling's attitude towards association has always been that it is dangerous.
And he doesn’t have the arrogant airs of an A-level person. He not only hides things about himself but also goes out of his way to remind him like this. No matter how you look at him, he is a very good person.
Why would you join a force like an association?
"In your eyes, the association must be a dark, chaotic place full of dangerous people, planning all kinds of ulterior conspiracies and crises all day long, right?"
"Isn't it?"
He spoke casually, dropped the ornaments he was playing with, and listened to Fangran's rhetorical question,
"That may be true,"
Trinity shrugged without denying it. She took out a classical cup filled with dark orange liquid from a small dimensional light door, and the sound of ice cubes in the liquor clinking was accompanied by soft words.
"But in my eyes, it's not quite like that."
not completely?
Hearing her words that seemed to excuse the association, Fangran's expression changed, and for a moment he didn't quite believe it.
"Your most important impression of the association comes from being involved in the crises caused by it again and again, from those participants and even executives who have unleashed ill will on you,"
In an office overlooking the bustling Los Angeles, he heard Trinity ask a question that made him stunned.
"But apart from these, this is my first time coming to North America,"
"Do you really understand associations?"
...
The flight took off, the engine humming steadily,
The private jet drew a literary white line in the blue sky of Los Angeles today.
Sitting on a luxurious sofa chair with a phone in hand that could call for various services, Fangran held up her cheeks and looked at the rising height outside the window, still thinking about Trinity's words just now.
'More or less influenced by outside opinions, association is a bad party. I'm afraid this solid impression has been in your mind from the beginning, so you would ask me such a question,'
'Then have you ever thought about, if the association is really completely bad, why is it still one of the three major rule builders, and why do people like me choose to join?'
"Even a character like Deadline and Final Rule?"
He was completely right. Before hearing Trinity’s question,
Because of the dangerous incidents they were involved in again and again, even world-class crises such as the destruction of London by tens of thousands of meters of darkness, and the attitude of my brother and the others, they had seen the glory of the queen...
Various reasons were intertwined, which made him instinctively feel that the association was the bad side and the evil side.
And never thought much about it.
It wasn't until that moment when Trinity asked that question that he began to really think about this inherent knowledge that he regarded as common sense.
Then I discovered that I actually didn’t understand associations.
Looking out of the plane window in ecstasy, watching the sea of clouds passing by in the stratosphere, Fangran suddenly had an unreasonable thought at this moment,
If you maintain such a rigid understanding, you may never find the true meaning of the Association God's Arrival Plan. If you want to find the deep answers that you are looking for in North America,
Maybe I really need to re-understand associations...
Looking away from the window, Fangran breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back. The cabin was as exquisite and luxurious as the living room of a mansion.
He stared straight at the cabin roof, recalling the answer to why Trinity finally joined the Society.
'Unlike all Zero Riders who are impressed by the queen's personality charm, each executive joins the association with their own purposes...'
'Strength, status, resources, sheltered freedom, something specific to cling to...'
When she said this, she looked out the window at the bustling Los Angeles. She held a wine glass and said these words lightly, her expression was slightly lost in thought as she didn't know what she was thinking of.
'But no matter what, even if you are not tolerated by society, you can get everything you want in the world from the association. You don't care about the past, you don't care about good and evil, and you can always know everything.'
‘That leader will realize all of our wishes equally’
Make wishes come true...
Hearing the words about the alliance leader from the executive officer's mouth, I felt a hint of respect. I thought it was because of that factor that was irresistible to the participants.
But what kept Fangran unable to stop thinking was the short words that Trinity said before leaving after that.
I remember that she put down the wine glass at that time, and her eyes behind the lenses kept staring at me, as if she wanted to convey something to herself, saying something meaningful and difficult to understand,
'It has been almost a century since the world of Night War entered peace and stability. No one knows whether the next era will come tomorrow, but at least in the future described by the leader, there is a wish for all of us,'
‘Looking at it this way, the alliance leader and the queen are actually the same kind of people, and the executive officer and Zero Cavalry are also the same kind of people,’
'It's just like investing money to become a shareholder of a future consortium...'
The beautiful figure finally smiled softly with shining eyes.
'I choose the future on the leader's side.'
Choose...the future...
For some reason, after hearing her reasons for joining the association, only these four words kept lingering in Fangran's mind.
Lingering.
A vague feeling that I can understand something, but because I don’t know something yet, I can’t get a clue.
Immersed in my thoughts after talking to the executive officer of the association, the flight time on the private plane passed like this, and I stayed quietly by Fangran's side.
After the plane came to a complete stop, Adeline leaned over and spoke softly:
"Master, San Francisco has arrived. We can get off the plane."
"Well, I understand..."
Hearing her cold and plain voice, he was stunned for a moment. After recovering from his long trance, Fangran shook his head to get rid of his unclear thoughts.
After concentrating on thinking, I rediscovered a series of problems and plans that need to be solved in the medical field.
Then after getting up from the sofa seat he had sunk into, he suddenly reacted and looked at Adeline with a blank look on his face.
