[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

Alicia fell asleep.

Although she is too young to understand the meaning of death, children are very sensitive to the surrounding environment. She saw "father" buried in the cemetery before, which had a great impact on the little girl.

After that, I experienced the crying comfort of my mother at the door of the house and the shocking reversal at the last moment. This day was full of great sadness and joy. Even the adult Gracia couldn't help but have a deep sadness on her face at this time. Tired, not to mention the little girl Alicia?

Seeing her cute and pitiful appearance that she would hold on to her father's collar tightly even in deep sleep, and would frown involuntarily in her sleep whenever Hughes moved slightly, although the Hughes and his wife didn't say anything, they could see her in their eyes. The flashes of distress and love from time to time fully revealed their worry and love for their little daughter.

But fortunately, Alicia doesn't really need to learn to be strong and grow up from now on.

Because... Hughes is still alive.

Looking at the black-haired man who was sitting next to her, holding her sleeping daughter tightly with one hand, and holding her tightly with the other, Gracia pursed her lips and smiled happily.

"Honey." She called softly.

Seeing the man who was still praising his little princess to the two people on the opposite side, how cute, how well-behaved, how to make people love him from the bottom of his heart, turned his head and looked at him tenderly, Gracia's face His smile couldn't help but deepen a bit.

"This matter...doesn't it need to be notified to Commander Mustang Gu?"

she asked softly.

Originally, Gracia would not interrupt her husband's work, but when she thought of the black-haired sergeant at Hughes' funeral, the general's cap was pulled down low, covering most of his face, making it impossible to see the expression on his face at all. , Thinking of the deadly friendship between him and Hughes since they were students, the gentle wife shook her husband's palm back, expressing her concern clearly with her eyes.

The black-haired lieutenant colonel was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Immediately afterwards, a sudden look of "Oops!" was written on his face...

"I just said I seem to have forgotten something."

Turning his head and looking at his friend who was lazily sunken in the sofa like lightning, Hughes said solemnly, "Gessette!"

The handsome uncle who was called looked at him casually:

"Ok?"

"The news that I'm still alive...you didn't inform Roy?"

The handsome uncle gave him a sideways look, with contempt on his face:

"How do I notify? Don't you know that the military department needs to verify the password and verify the real identity of the caller when transferring calls from outside? Who will believe that my current identity has something to do with that kid Roy? He has the identity of the connection..."

Squinting his eyes, the handsome uncle gave a lieutenant colonel a final blow without hesitation: "Mass, do you want me to die a second time?"

The lieutenant colonel was speechless.

The handsome uncle looked at his instantly turned white figure, not only did not have the slightest sympathy, but smiled gloatingly: "Haha~ Think about how you will inform him next, Mas. That guy rushed back from the eastern city to the Central Committee to participate Your funeral, the time spent on the road is enough for you to inform him of the truth before that—hey! Don't look at me like that, you should know that guy's narrow-mindedness and vengeance better than me. Instead of staring at me, You should think about how to deal with his anger~"

Although, the fact that you are still alive is enough to offset all the negative emotions in his heart.

Jokingly raised the corners of his mouth, Gossett ignored Hughes who looked like a concubine, but turned his eyes softly to the little princess Alicia who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

Seeing his friend's "treachery" and "doing nothing to save him", Hughes simply ignored him, but turned his attention to the red-haired demon fox in the leisurely watching (?) with hope——

"Zangma! You have a way to hide the horse, right?"

After all, that day, you showed an amazing, miraculous wrist...

However, meeting Mr. Lieutenant Colonel's hopeful gaze, Kurama smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I can't help it."

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing the sparkling light in the other party's eyes that dimmed and then lit up instantly, the smile in Kurama's eyes couldn't help but deepened: "But... it seems that it's too late."

He said softly, his eyes shifted from Hughes's face to the gate not far away: "Because the Colonel you mentioned..."

Now, already...

Before the words were finished, there was already a polite and regular knock on the door.

Now, Hughes already knew what he was referring to, without further ado.

Stiffly turning his head to look at the door that was being knocked constantly, the expression on Hughes' face suddenly became blank——

what to do?Is this door open?Or... not open?

***

Of course it was impossible for Hughes to shut Roy out.

It's just that it wasn't Hughes himself who opened the door in the end, but Gracia.

Hughes said that a "dead person" suddenly appeared alive in front of someone, even if this person was his best friend, it was a bit too scary.

So in order to give Roy a buffer time, it's better for him not to show up.

Sitting in the living room with Alicia in his arms, the lieutenant colonel stretched his neck to listen to the conversation at the door.

At the same time, Gracia, who opened the door, welcomed Roy and his adjutant, Lieutenant Lisa Hawkeye.

"Gracia..."

Roy is also very familiar with Hughes' beloved wife, Gracia, because he and Hughes have been close friends since they were students.

Facing Gracia who lost her beloved husband now, even though Hughes' death was not Roy's fault, he still felt that he couldn't look directly at the other's face that might be full of sadness and pain, so in Grecia's After Xia opened the door, although Roy knew it was impolite, he still didn't look up at the other person's face immediately.

Therefore, he did not notice that Gracia's face was not filled with pain and tears, but a happy smile from the heart.

But if Roy didn't notice, it doesn't mean that his always careful and capable lieutenant, Lieutenant Lisa, didn't notice either.

Seeing the smile on the face of this gentle woman who is not unfamiliar to me because of her own officer, the same smile as before the death of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, Lieutenant Lisa's first reaction was not to doubt anything, but to reach out directly Come over and hold the opponent's arm...

"Gracia, are you alright?"

As a woman, Lieutenant Lisa actually had an easier time understanding Gracia's mood at the moment.

However, what the other party showed was not like that at all...

This had to make Lisa wonder if there was something on the other side that was...broken because of the huge impact it received...

Gracia was taken aback when she heard the words, and after seeing the worried expression on Lisa's face, she quickly smiled.

"I'm fine, thank you, Lieutenant Hawkeye." She smiled unchanged, and made a welcome gesture sideways: "Please come in first. As for why I behave like this...you will know soon."

Roy, who had been silent at this time, also sensed something from Gracia's tone.

He slowly raised his head to look at the woman with a gentle smile in front of him. The moment he touched the pair of soft eyes that were the same color as Alicia, the little princess of the Hughes family, he was shocked——

No.

In these eyes, there is no look of sadness or despair.

What does this represent?

This represents... what? !

Suddenly an extremely absurd guess appeared in his heart, but at this moment Roy wanted to believe it very much. The black-haired Colonel quickly changed his shoes and strode into the living room...

After that, Roy froze.

He straightened his waist like that, and stood there in a daze as if he had been immobilized, which made Lisa, who came in after him, couldn't help calling softly, "Master?"

Roy woke up suddenly like an electric shock.

After that, there was a rare lack of response to Lisa. He almost ran, and quickly walked to the sofa...

And as he moved, the scene in the living room that was originally covered by his figure also fell into Lisa's eyes in the next second, making this calm and rational blond female soldier widen her eyes instantly, with a serious look on her face. unbelievable——

At the place where Roy stopped, the black-haired lieutenant colonel, who had just attended his funeral today, sat there with Alicia in his arms with his signature hearty smile!

"Yo! Roy! Ah... and Lieutenant Hawkeye! Are you here?"

Seeing Lisa standing at the door looking at him in horror, the man raised his hand and scratched his cheek, then raised his hand as if nothing happened to greet them briskly.

Lisa clearly saw the expression on her own official's face suddenly distorted.

Ah...will he punch it with a punch, or just...just put on the gloves and set it on fire?

She was thinking like this somewhat subconsciously, but in the next second, she watched in amazement that the usually deep and calm Colonel swung his fist violently, and then... in mid-air, the same fist raised by Lieutenant Colonel Hughes was precisely Collided incomparably together...

"You guy..."

The expression on Roy's face flickered several times, but in the end it was fixed on a cheerful smile.

He whispered almost like gnashing his teeth, but the smile on his face was a bright joy that Lisa had never seen before.

The blond female adjutant also smiled.

The lieutenant colonel is still alive.

This thing...is really good.

- Colonel.

***

The happy reunion of old friends lasted only a few minutes.

Next, Gracia took the sleeping Princess Alicia from Hughes' arms.

Although the breath of losing her father caused the child to struggle a few times uncomfortably, but the comfort from her mother immediately made her close her eyes and fall back into sleep.

After the mother and daughter left, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became serious and dignified.

Hughes gave Roy a complete and detailed account of his analysis, findings, and guesses before the attack, and finally came to the conclusion that "there are guys related to the group of artificial humans among the top military personnel", and Ishbal The fact that the war was launched made both Roy and Lisa change their faces instantly, and Roy's eyes almost burst into flames...

"Because of this, they wanted to kill you? Because you discovered some amazing truths?"

He whispered sullenly, the expression on his face was so cold that one could not help trembling in one's heart.

Cangma, who has been playing the role of onlooker, couldn't help feeling a little relieved when he saw this.

Because in the original book, it was the death of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes that inspired Roy's nature and fighting spirit, allowing him to kill artificial humans one after another in a fit of rage.

If there is no such stimulus...

Zangma had always found it difficult to judge the extent of the power that Roy could unleash next.

But now he has an answer.

It seems that regardless of whether Hughes is dead or alive, the fact that the artificial man tried to kill him is enough to arouse Roy's anger.

And it was precisely because Hughes was not dead. After meeting him, on the one hand, he was grateful for this, and on the other hand, Roy, who had experienced the grief and anger he felt when he thought Hughes had died, seemed to explode There is more energy coming out—at least the anger flashing in his eyes at this moment is more than a little stronger than when he "rained on his face" in the original book...

And Zangma was thinking about it secretly, and in the next second, a slender and beautiful hand stretched out in front of him——

"Did you save Hughes?"

He raised his head, and saw that His Majesty the Colonel had come in front of him at some point, and when he saw Zangma raised his eyes to look at him, he showed a gentle and harmless smile at the right time: "Hello, I am Hughes' friend, Roy Mustangu."

"Thank you for everything you have done for my best friend, and it is an honor to know you... Kurama."

The other party deliberately softened his voice, Wen Sheng said so.

——In an instant, the demon fox felt that the fox fur all over his body was about to explode!
