Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

Luo Chen who said so just closed the lid of the box that he had opened, and handed it back to Einstein.

"This is a career that belongs to you, and I am not the noble person you know. So, please take it back, Miss Ain."

"If you refuse to accept it for no reason, then if you pay the corresponding reward, can you choose to accept it?"

Looking at Luo Chen who had rejection almost all over his face, Einstein just smiled helplessly, and then gave the other party a more compromise method.

At the same time, he also made a plan to use strong means to stuff this necklace into the other party's hand.

"Then, take it as a favor to choose to exchange this necklace from me."

"And this necklace, it's the secret between you and me, and the...proof of being friends."

"..."

Looking at the slightly raised corners of the other party's mouth, and the token that stayed in his palm and had no reason to refuse to accept it, he just closed his eyes and held the white box in his hand tightly, and after a long silence, his face revealed In the eyes of the other party, it seemed a bit too gentle smile.

"thanks..."

Chapter 1 Long Waited

It was a gold necklace that had been deposited for a long time in the long river of time.

The already dim shell, the photo whose color has faded without knowing when, and the young child who is slightly blurred on the photo but can still be clearly identified.

This is an ordinary necklace, an ordinary necklace that mothers use to record their children's childhood.

A precious necklace that belongs to Cocolia and allows her to see her daughter in it...

An ordinary necklace that she carried close to her body, as if it was about to transform into a part of her body...

After all, it's been a long, long time...

After uttering such an inexplicable exclamation, Cocolia just closed the framed necklace with her daughter's photo with her thumb, and at the same time reached out to extinguish the lamp on the table that brought the only light to the room.

After filling the entire room with darkness, she put her thoughts back close to her body, and then, a little decadent, lay down on the desk full of documents.

14 years is a very long time, long enough for her as a captain to climb all the way to the executor of anti-entropy, long enough to become the leader of the reformation faction.

But it couldn't make her forget the despair she felt after learning the truth 14 years ago.

That's Sirin, that's the Herrscher, that's an existence that can destroy everything with a single gesture...

But it's also her daughter...her only treasure...her treasure that was forcibly destroyed...

She had thought more than once about what it would be like after meeting her daughter.

Perhaps the final result should be to live with my own daughter, and then help those children who were homeless due to the war.

Everything was as she had expected in her dream, but in the reality that really emerged, her most important daughter was missing.

She can give her love equally to every child she adopts, and she can regard those children who are adopted and call her mother as her treasures.

But the special and heavy love hidden in the deepest part of her heart can no longer be given to the only treasure in her heart.

She is contradictory. As a mother, she will choose to love these adopted children, but as a soldier, she deeply understands the principle of sacrificing the few to save the many.

She hopes that these children who have lost their homes can survive in peace in the disasters that are coming to the world. She does not hope that there will be another parent who will experience an accident like hers, which is so desperate that it cannot be described in words .

And after completing the career she is currently pursuing, she may...

Maybe he would pay all the price in exchange for a chance to step on the face of the person who had everything in the past and never felt wrong.

"Dingding—"

The voice of the communication request resounded in the dark and silent room, causing Cocolia, who was lying on the table, to straighten up.

But when she saw clearly the contact name displayed on the communication panel, she frowned subconsciously.

She didn't know why this tool man created by herself chose to contact her at this point in time.

I hope that the content of the other party's communication this time will not be some irrelevant matters that can be called trivial details.

The option of agreeing, the disappearance of the ringtone, and what appeared on the communication panel was a face that was proud enough to cause her dissatisfaction.

"To make a long story short, I have other things to deal with."

"Don't worry, it's definitely something that can interest you."

"A Doctor of Destiny decided to defect from Destiny, and then came to join us."

"Okay, I'm not interested, the next thing is up to you to deal with."

After hearing the keyword of Doctor of Destiny, Cocolia just gave her answer to the other party with a disgusted expression, and then raised her hand to close the communication panel with the proud face of the other party printed on it.

"What if the chip given by the other party is a gem?"

The sudden answer made Cocolia stop the hand that she had already started to press down on the communication panel, and it took a moment before she reopened the communication panel that was almost closed by herself.

"Okay, I take back what I said earlier."

She stood up from the seat, turned her back and walked slowly to the window, then took out the pure gold necklace that had been eroded by the years from her close pocket.

The faded photo, which was well protected by the necklace, was embellished with a little sacred color by the full moonlight.

"I am very interested."

--------

"clatter..."

The dull sound made by the wooden chess pieces falling on the board made Luo Chen, who was a little sleepy due to the long game time, wake up a little bit.

"Sorry, I seem a little tired..."

Stretching out his hand to pick up the pieces he dropped from the chessboard, and after confirming that he and his opponent could not end the game in a short time, Luo Chen finally could only say this answer that foreshadowed the end .

Perhaps it is extremely unwise to choose a game with winners and losers as an after-dinner leisure activity, let alone set up a winning system of three games and two wins.

By the way, the current score between the two is one to one.

"It's okay, classmate Chen, I just happen to be a little tired..."

After getting the other party's answer, Fu Hua just slowly put the chess piece he was holding tightly into the chess box on the side, and then took off his glasses, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Perhaps as the game promoter, she never thought that this event should be used for leisure, and because of these unnecessary reasons, both parties would fall into such a tired situation.

But... it seems that this feeling is also very good.

Looking at Luo Chen who was arranging the chess pieces, Fu Hua just gently wiped his dusty lens with a lens cloth, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

How long ago was the last time I played chess with my friends.

Is... how long ago... is it?

After suddenly thinking about this question, Fu Hua just stopped his action of wiping the lens, and then stared at the glasses in his hand, falling into a daze.

It seems like a long time ago, how long ago...?She seems to have forgotten...

But this is not an important thing, it shouldn't matter if you forget it.

After thinking for a while and coming to this result, Fu Hua just started to wipe the lenses of his glasses again with a lens cloth, and then...

She saw on her lens, a mission dispatch prompt popped up.

"..."

After carefully reading the general content of the mission and the accompanying rewards, Fu Hua just put on his glasses without saying a word, as if lost in thought.

She couldn't understand why this mission had such an almost irrelevant condition.

"Is there a mission, monitor?"

"Ah... yes, there is a mission."

"It's just a very simple... well, it's just a very simple investigation task, even so simple that you can bring one or two trainees to practice."

"Is that so..."

After hearing what Fu Hua said, Luo Chen just closed the chess cover that he had arranged, then lowered his head and closed his eyes at the same time.

It seems that I have no reason to join the other party's itinerary this time.

But it’s also good, so that I can easily spend a long period of touching...

"By the way, do you want classmate Chen to come together?"

"Uh-huh?"

The unexpected invitation made him, who had already decided to stay out of it, almost subconsciously let out a voice of surprise.

"For this mission, I'm going to take Qiyana with me so that I can help her get some extra credits, but I'm worried that I might lose sight of her by then, so I kinda want classmate Chen to take care of her for me. "

"And the location of this mission happens to be in Singapore, and all the expenses don't have to be paid by yourself, so..."

Speaking of Fu Hua here, he couldn't help but look elsewhere, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"I would like to invite classmate Chen to visit Singapore as..."

"As a...thank you for helping me rehearse last time..."

"So... can I?"

After saying this, Fu Hua just still looked away, a little afraid to face the person he invited.

After all, this should be the first time in her life, and it is such a special invitation.

"If I choose to decline, it will be very rude..."

"Then, student Chen, what is your answer?"

"I'm going to trouble you, monitor."

------

"Master Otto, why... why did you choose to add the condition of bringing him at the end?"

"Because, I'm really curious."

"curious...?"

"A person who can escape from your hands and easily injure Amber is not only rare, but also very interesting."

"So I'm going to ask you to accept it after Fu Hua regains the gem. By the way, I also want you and Fu Hua to invite this young man here."
