The guided bus drove to the area near the Belgarde Gate. Randy, who was riding the last bus, was half asleep when he heard the driver's announcement.
Randy got off the bus in a hurry and stood in front of the bus stop with only one pilot light on. Watching the pilot bus gradually drive away, the surroundings were shrouded in silence.
Although there is a direct train to the Belgard Gate, the bus stops very early. When Randy came back after drinking, there were basically no buses. So Randy often took other lines and got off here.
car and then walk back.
By the way, Kata had already taken the drunk Raffi back to the Belgard Gate. Randy himself didn't come back until late at night after drinking.
Randy walked silently towards the Bellgard Gate. Although the surroundings were dark, Randy's eyesight at night was very good. This was something he had practiced since he was a child, not to mention that there were dense forests on both sides, so
You won't go the wrong way.
When we get here, we can no longer see the neon lights of the city. Instead, we can see the vast starry sky above our heads.
Looking at the stars in the distance, Randy thought of his past self in the Red Constellation.
At that time, there was no such thing as looking at the starry sky and admiring the beautiful night view. It was just about surviving for the sake of survival and killing for the sake of survival.
Although there are companions whose lives are hanging by a thread, many of them died during the mission. But even then, you won't feel sad, because the living people don't know when they will die.
However, one day, Randy became confused because he saw a person die. Before that, Randy had no doubts about the way the Chasseurs survived and lived like that every day. However, at that time, Randy
Thinking of repeating countless battles without knowing when they will be killed, what is the point of such a way of survival?
How long has it been since then? Randy wanted to count it in his mind, but he laughed to himself. Even if he did that now, wouldn't it be pointless?
After leaving the Chasseur Regiment, I wandered around. I also encountered a place I liked. I couldn't figure out whether I wanted to stay here forever, or whether I wanted to continue on the road, and I was always hesitant.
It has been half a year since he came to the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture Guard. He doesn't have to worry about food and accommodation. The companions he works with are also good people. In terms of satisfaction, this is probably the best place he has ever been to.
But do I really want to spend the rest of my life here? I know this is impossible. The place I should stay is not here.
My place? Does that kind of place... really exist in this world?
Randy took a deep breath of the cold night air, and then slowly exhaled it mixed with the smell of alcohol. This way, his body could feel the slightest chill.
This dark road is like my own life. There is only darkness, and I can only keep moving forward. Until at some point I can no longer walk and fall to my death on the roadside.
At this time, a ray of light appeared at the end of the distance. Randy reacted habitually, avoiding the light and searching for the shining object. If he looked directly at the light, his eyes would not be able to see clearly, so Randy began to observe
There is something suspicious happening around the light.
It doesn't look like a beast, so is it a human?
Just as I was wondering who was there at this time, I heard a voice from the other side.
"Isn't this Randy?"
It was a familiar voice, and the tension just now was relieved.
"What, it's you?"
The one holding the guidance light is Sergeant Mireyou on patrol.
"What 'what'!"
As she spoke, Mireyou walked up to Randy, got closer and sniffed.
"Sure enough, I went to drink again!"
"I'm not on duty today, so why don't I go drinking~"
As far as he knew, Mireyou was born in the same year as him, but one month earlier than him. Mireyou was born on February 23, 1182, so the officer was already old enough to drink, but when working
The prohibition of drinking alcohol is a basic principle in the police force, and she is a strict self-discipline and never touches it.
"Sure enough, I can bump into you just by walking around here. I was right."
Then Randy remembered that Mireyou should be the guard in front of the door today.
In other words, it seems that he changed positions specifically for himself.
Randy was about to joke that you were really thoughtful, but Mi Lei spoke first.
"I was still wondering if you might have gotten lost after getting drunk."
When Randy said the word "lost", he burst into laughter.
There seems to be no suitable words to express my current mood.
"Indeed, I may have always been a lost child."
"Why?"
Mireyou didn't understand what Randy meant and waited for his answer.
Randy patted Mireyu on the shoulder and continued walking.
"Forget it, but it would be nice to have a commander like you to show me the way. I didn't expect it."
Randy suddenly felt that if occasionally like this, when he didn't know what to do, there was a light to illuminate his dark life, he would at least try to reach the next destination.
Mireyu, who was told this, just turned her head.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Randy said,
"Hey, aren't you going back? What are you doing standing there?"
"Ah, wait!"
As Mireyu said this, she caught up with Randy and the two of them walked side by side.
