Monologue - The occasion of Sakaski in the third episode ([-])

——When you smile at me, I start to look forward to it inexplicably

That place called home

--------------------------------

In this way, Sakaski returned to Marineland with the little girl he picked up from the bloody mess.

The warship docked at the port of Marineland. Sakaski stepped off the ship first and went back to report according to the usual procedure after completing a mission. He walked straight to the naval headquarters, only to find that many people around him were looking at him, both covertly and covertly.

In other words, he was looking at the little girl following him.

He paused and turned in another direction as he passed the street.

He was tall, and he walked with long strides like the wind. Seleustin trotted behind him, trying to keep up with him.

Sakaski noticed this and took a slightly smaller step.

"keep up"

Seleustin looked up at the tall man. He didn't look down at her when he told her these words, but his speed of walking forward obviously slowed down.

Sure enough, Sakaski is actually a very gentle person.

She lowered her head and snickered, and continued to chase the figure in front of her. The navy coat behind him swayed slightly with his steps. The two big words "justice" hit Seliu's eyes.

Suddenly, he remembered that day, when he told her that he would spend his whole life to implement absolute justice.

Justice...

It’s really admirable, whether it’s Sakaski or the justice he talks about

She stretched out her white little hand, as if she wanted to grab a corner of his coat, but she timidly withdrew her hand.

I always feel that Sakaski is too dazzling, and I still feel a little distant from her.

Just as he was thinking about it, Sakaski had stopped. Seleustin followed his line of sight and looked over. In front of him was a large mansion with a green tree growing in the courtyard.

"I still have something to do, please stay here by yourself first."

After saying that, he walked back the way he came without looking back, leaving Selustine alone and staring at his back.

ah?Where are you staying?The door?

The little girl was stunned. She looked around and felt that this house should be Sakaski's home, but he was the owner after all. She couldn't just enter the inner house directly if he wasn't around.

She circled the courtyard twice, but still didn't enter the house.

Selustine walked under the tree. There was a coffee table set there, but it was covered with a layer of dust. It looked like no one had used it for a long time.

After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and simply swept away the dust on the seat, then sat on it obediently.

Then, stare at the door in a daze

When will Sakaski come back...

The climate in Malinvando is not cold, but the wind blowing in the face is still cool in the evening

Selustine was only wearing a thin skirt, so she naturally felt a little cold, but she just shivered and remained stubbornly guarding the dusty coffee table in a courtyard overgrown with weeds.

Waiting for that man to come back

Sakaski returned to the headquarters, first went to the Warring States Period, and put in front of him a report that was all the truth without any nice words.

Warring States opened the report and looked at the particularly eye-catching line above.

[In this incident, due to the failure to dispatch the garrison in time and providing relevant information too late, almost no civilians at the mission site survived, causing irreparable losses]

He sighed and looked up at the man in front of him who had been silent since he came in.

"Sakaski, you know that this report cannot be sent up, right?"

Sakaski didn't reply. After confirming that Sengoku had seen the report, he picked up his feet and walked towards the door.

"I just did my job"

He said these words in a cold voice, and with heavy footsteps, he left Sengoku's office.

Warring States closed the report and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

Such a thing……

After leaving, Sakaski returned directly to his office as usual and began to process the documents accumulated during the mission.

In fact, as a general, he is more often used as a symbol of the navy, to intimidate a party with his own strength. The clerical work can be left to the adjutant, which is what Kuzan has always done.

But as far as Sakaski is concerned, when it comes to his job, he is not willing to leave it to others, even if it is paperwork.

By the time all the work was done, the sky had turned completely dark.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the little girl who just came back with him today and was abandoned by him in that house.

She probably hasn't eaten yet, so she should go back and take a look.

In most cases on weekdays, he has been working in the office forgetting time, or living directly on the warship. The house given to him is just a reward for his military rank, and he returns to the headquarters from there every day. Also need some distance

So after all, Sakaski didn't live there for a long time.

Things are different now. Now that he has decided to adopt that little girl, he can no longer only care about himself like before.

It seems like it’s time to hire some people to clean the house on weekdays. The unruly weeds in the yard are really annoying.

Thinking like this, he set off and returned to the house that he didn't usually live in and seemed particularly deserted.

When Sakaski returned to the courtyard, he found a small, blond figure under the tree.

She huddled up in a small ball on the somewhat dirty stool, and seemed to have fallen asleep. The way she hugged herself made Sakaski couldn't help but frown.

Didn't you let her into the house before? Why did she fall asleep here?

He walked over and prepared to pick up Seleustin, but his footsteps woke up the dazed little girl. She rubbed her eyes and said softly to Sakaski in front of her.

"Welcome home...Sakaski..."

There was still sleepiness in that voice, coupled with her own soft timbre, as if she was coquettishly coquettishly acting toward Sakaski.

When Sakaski heard this, he was slightly stunned.

So did she wait here on purpose?

Just to talk to him about going home?

Sakaski, who had never thought of this empty house as "home" before, suddenly felt that a corner of his usually cold heart began to melt.

Melt into those blue eyes that seem to shine even at night

Not to mention anything else, but looking at the furnishings, this house really can’t be called a home.

The furniture inside was all the way it was when he first became a general. It had become a bit old over the past few years, and the types were not complete. Later, Sakaski added a lot of new furniture one after another. Decorate this house to make it feel like home

He asked Selustine to choose one of the many guest rooms as her room, and he walked into the kitchen, preparing to cook something to eat.

Facing a pile of ingredients he bought in front of him, the man who had always been omnipotent suddenly encountered a problem.

cook...

God knows that he has always solved the problem of eating in the navy canteen. Now it is really difficult for him to suddenly cook by himself.

Anyway, I still have to try it

He boldly picked up a cabbage, thought about it, used his only creativity in dishes, and started cooking it boldly.

Selustine, who had followed him at some point, stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the scene of lettuce flying all over the place with a dark expression on his face.

Ah, pot!That pot is going to explode! !

Etc., etc!You can't just throw the fish in, it still has scales on it.

Don't blast it directly with lava! !The plates turned to ashes!

Selustine swallowed silently and tremblingly closed the kitchen door.

How about... lose weight today, I seem to be a little fat lately hahahaha

No matter how reluctant she was, dinner time still came as scheduled

She was sitting at the dining table, opposite Sakaski with a dark face. There were all kinds of strange dishes on the table.

Seleustin raised his head and took a look at Sakaski, and found that he was staring at these dishes that seemed to be inedible with a gloomy look on his face. He was sitting straight and his back was stiff.

She burst out laughing

Sakaski's face turned darker and he stared straight at the little girl who couldn't help laughing.

There was still a smile on Seleustin's lips, but she still raised her fork, forked a piece of dark meat or vegetables, and then stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation.

She maintained the dining etiquette she had learned since she was a child. After chewing this mouthful of food, she swallowed it without hesitation, and then went to eat another dish.

“If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat.”

Sakaski's cold voice came over, and Seleustin stopped laughing and looked at him a little helplessly.

"No...I think it's delicious."

As if to prove her words, she threw away the etiquette that she was very particular about just now and started eating.

Her tongue was a little insensitive due to her father's human experiments in recent years. Even nutrients with an indescribable taste could be eaten as food. The dish that Sakaski cooked on the table that didn't look good came into her mouth. Actually it tastes pretty good too

As long as you can eat it

Sakaski pursed his lips and stretched out his fork to pick up an unknown vegetable. After identifying it from memory for a long time, he realized that it was a potato.

He brought the piece of potato to his mouth, and the moment it touched his taste buds, he frowned

This taste really...

He continued chewing and found that the potato heart was not cooked at all and was still raw.

Sakaski swallowed the mouthful of potatoes and looked at the little girl opposite who was devouring it.

She didn't seem to find these dishes unpalatable at all, but was very satisfied with them.

Judging from her elegant dining etiquette at the beginning, this child must have been a young lady from some aristocratic family. The dress she wore was also made of fine materials. She must have lived a life of fine clothing and fine food.

However, she ate so much food that she could barely swallow without changing her expression.

Sakaski unconsciously clenched the fork in his hand, unable to tell what kind of mood he was feeling at the moment.

The room with warm yellow lights, the warm temperature, and the girl who raised her head and smiled at him

He suddenly understood a little bit about those navy soldiers who got off work on time and always asked for vacation.

If home is such a warm place, then he...

A little bit looking forward to it

From now on, there will be a home with her
