[Tutorial] When the strategy is in progress

"The action is too blunt, Giotto." Cozart looked at Giotto seriously while holding a book teaching etiquette. The book was turned out from nowhere, and the corners of the pages were already yellowed.

Giotto finally decided to go to the banquet anyway, and told his companions about it, and now it's a case of social etiquette.

"Is your book really okay, Cozart?" G, who was leaning on the table, ate the food sent by the girls carelessly. ?”

"Well, my aunt told me that it will definitely come in handy if I learn etiquette." Cozart glanced at the old book in his hand, with a doubtful expression on his face, "Although I am also a little skeptical."

"It can't be too much difference." Giotto boy, who was tossed back and forth by several movements, took advantage of the discussion between the two, and temporarily sat on the stool to rest for a while.

"It doesn't matter." Cozart raised his lips and smiled, and looked at the blond boy with some teasing, "Etiquette is actually not very important, as long as Mr. Giotto from the Pengelet Self-Defense Regiment comes out, then no matter what we can achieve Yes!" He also picked up the dessert on the table, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "Well, it's a little sweet."

Mr. Giotto of the Pengoly Self-Defense Group, this is what the girls who admired the blond boy called him. The friend's teasing made the boy a little bit dumbfounded, but at this time, the culprit unconsciously said [well, we I believe in you, Mr. Giotto of the Vongola Self-Defense Regiment! 】

【...Thank you very much. 】

"Oh, that's right." G, who was eating dessert, looked at Giotto as if remembering something, "Although the current expenditure of the self-defense group is not large, we are always a non-profit organization, and we have to spend every day. Now the problem of food is solved Yes, but there are still many things to deal with.”

"Yeah." The boy nodded in response to G's words, "What does G mean?"

The red-haired boy put down the food in his hands, looked at Giotto seriously, and said seriously, "Do you want to think about hooking up...to get to know Miss Anthony, the daughter of the baron who moved here recently?"

Looking at his most reliable childhood playmate, Giotto couldn't help showing a stomachache.

Cozart, who was standing aside, let out a very unkind puff.

You two guys don't want to come to my place for food in the future!

Regardless of whether etiquette was learned in the end, the boy Giotto still went to the banquet on the third day. Since he is currently the leader of the Pengeli Self-Defense Regiment, even though the self-defense regiment is small, poor and has little prestige, he is still the leader, so G They escorted them all the way, and Kozart stayed with the Self-Defense Regiment.

It was rare for a young man in formal attire to successfully enter the hall after handing out the invitation to the guard. He had never encountered such a situation before, and he stood there in embarrassment. Although he was a little nervous, the expression on his face His expression was quite gentle, and he didn't become stiff with his nervousness.

"Giotto!" The boy's embarrassment did not last for a while. The curly-haired girl who was also standing at the door of the hall to greet the guests ran over in a hurry after seeing him, with a sincere and bright smile on her face, her bright eyes seemed to only reflect his reflection, The joy in my heart spread uncontrollably.

"Miss Morrie." Although there was no stop to the girl's approach, the address in the boy's mouth was also respectful and distant.

The smile on the girl's face slowed down, and she looked at the boy with some aggrieved eyes, "You said you would call me Via next time we meet."

Mi Yi, who was in the sea of ​​consciousness, didn't know what to say for a moment. She wanted to remind Giotto about etiquette, but saw that they were already chatting, so it would be awkward to mention etiquette at this time.

【Is there anything else to say at this time, Mi? ] The boy asked her for help, and when Giotto had nothing to talk about, the words of Via girl also made Giotto feel a little awkward, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

【Forget about Vengley, just praise her. ] Mi said softly, looking at the young man in front of him through Giotto's eyes, with a youthful and beautiful face and delicate and chic jewelry [Your earrings are beautiful, Via] Mi exemplified, her voice was low and soft, melodious like intoxicating wine [It really looks like your eyes. 】

After the example, Mi continued to remind [Pay attention to the natural tone and eyes, and the smile must be sincere. 】

The originally silent blond boy cast his eyes on the girl in front of him, his eyes were straightforward but not frivolous, his eyes were sincere and earnest, and his smile was like the gentle and deep sky, "Your earrings are so beautiful, Via , exactly like your eyes."

Words that were too touching for a girl made Via blush like honey in her heart, she couldn't hide the shyness in her enthusiastic gaze, and reached out to touch her blue earrings, "I like this pair very much too. Earrings." Her face was flushed, and her shy appearance was very cute "but the reason I like it is because it looks like your eyes!"

The girl shyly touched her sleeves, "I'm glad you like it too."

[What should I say now? 】Mi naturally doesn't have any superpowers to know the meaning of this earring to Via, but that's fine, seeing the young man asking for help again in embarrassment, she replied 【At this time, you just need to laugh. 】

Giotto is not ignorant of the world. If the location and characters are not like this, he can also deal with it normally. It’s just that he is not very able to use his ability when he comes to this kind of occasion for the first time, so he needs to get used to it for a while.

Before Via didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she took Giotto to the balcony where no one was there. Now, because she was too shy, she covered her face under Giotto's gentle smile and left first, leaving Giotto alone. There is a cool breeze blowing here.

【Still nervous, boy? 】 Seeing Giotto standing on the balcony blowing the wind for a while and still not planning to leave, Mi asked aloud.

【No, I'm much better, Mi. ] The young man answered softly, showing a smile that was no different from usual [Thank you just now. 】

【You're welcome, but when are you going to tell Via about Pengelly? 】

"Is that you, Giotto?" The boy who was about to answer turned around and looked at the girl who came over who didn't know when. After a moment of surprise, he replied, "You are, Miss Elena?"

【Huh?Elena? ! 】

At this time, the woman standing in front of Giotto with a gentle smile was Elena or someone else. The girl smiled happily, "Long time no see, Giotto, I am very glad to see you again."

"Long time no see, Elena." Giotto also hooked his lips and showed a delighted smile, "I'm also glad to see you again."

"Last time you came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have more time to chat with you." Elena smiled, even though the joy in her eyes was very sincere, she still maintained a dignified and polite attitude, "By the way, how could you it's here?"

"At the invitation of Miss Via Murray." Giotto replied.

"You and Via are friends?" Hearing about his relationship with Via, Elena seemed to be a little happier. "How did you know each other?" After all, daughters of nobles have very little contact with boys from ordinary families. Girls are generally kept at home, let alone a girl like Via who doesn't like to go out, but thinking of her first meeting with Giotto, Elena also became a little curious.

"Well, Miss Via was once kidnapped by some party members. At that time, they passed by my village. I just saved her with a little effort, and that's how I got to know each other." The descendants of the aristocratic offshoots of the Bourbon dynasty have some connections, and I am afraid that they will be targeted because of this. At that time, Giotto also saw that the other party was dressed in gorgeous clothes, not like a girl from a commoner family, so he rescued her, because he could not persuade her to cry. The girl who never listened to advice had to ask Mi, who was also a girl, to comfort her, and as a result, she felt admiration as soon as she comforted her.

But it was precisely because of that incident that Via's father sent some money as a thank you, and the Pengelly Self-Defense Group officially set foot on the track.

"So that's the case." Elena nodded.

Compared to getting along with Via, Giotto and Elena, who have gotten used to it, get along more harmoniously. Although they are raised in the duke's house with no worries about food and clothing, Elena's thinking is not inferior to Giotto's. Talking about the country, from the current situation to the future development of Italy, it seems that the other party who has found a bosom friend has been talking for a long time without getting tired, and finally talked about Pengoli.

"Is it an organization created to protect civilians?" The girl's face was a little stunned, and then she seemed to have found a yearning expression for an ideal land, and her beautiful eyes shone brightly with the lights. idea."

Elena seemed to be very interested in this self-defense group, and it was this expression of approval that she no longer needed to bother Miss Via.

Until the end of the banquet, Via, who hadn't interrupted their chat, sent them away in a bit of depression, and Elena also bid farewell to Giotto, who hadn't finished the chat, and Giotto went back to Franco accompanied by G.

Mi, who hadn't been able to say a word to girl Elena from the beginning to the end, squatted in the corner and drew circles.

Fortunately, Franco and Via girl's house are not far away, and they can be reached by taking a night road for a while, but when Giotto and G climbed the last hillside, what they saw was a village full of flames!

Pengli, who has included some of the surrounding villages in the protection area, is indeed well-known and has attracted many like-minded companions, but those who have lost their territory for no reason will give up so easily. After several sneak attacks to no avail Finally, tonight, I received the news that the leader of the self-defense regiment was out, so tonight became the stage of destruction.

The blood flowing from the Sicilians will not allow them to surrender easily. If blood is used to prove the so-called dignity, it will not hesitate. Franco, where the Pengeli Self-Defense Group is located, has become the first place of bloody conquest.

When Giotto and G rushed back to the village, the fire was still raging. Some people were running and fleeing, some were screaming, and even the cries of children were mixed together. In the chase, but this violation will draw the curtain ahead of time in the boy's colder eyes.

This is the place he has decided to protect with his life. The returning leader reassured and organized the panicked crowd to fight against those ferocious perpetrators. No matter how strong a person is, what can he do? The power of all people, even if everyone is weak, but together this power will subvert all hegemony and aggression.

The teenager understands this truth very well.

The confrontation between resistance and invasion continued until late at night. Those invaders were either buried here or fled in a hurry. The fire in the village was also slowly extinguished. The dead and wounded were carried to the only church with a doctor. The original doctor of the village Already old, he could not withstand the shock of this incident and returned to the embrace of God.

The dead were sent to the underground church to preserve the bones without being claimed by their relatives, while many wounded were treated by doctors. This accident was only aimed at Franco. They want to massacre the village, so compared to the death toll in single digits, there are more injured, but there are not many doctors in the church, and some people who lost a lot of blood in the confrontation don't know if they can wait for the doctor's treatment.

In front of the brightly lit church, Giotto, with disheveled hair and soiled clothes, was looking at the wounded at the door of the church. Cozart, who stayed behind in the self-defense regiment, was also inside, because the one who rushed to the front was also very seriously injured. , the blond boy's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't be happy even though he had driven out the foreign enemies.

Self-blame and guilt were about to eat away at him like a worm.

[Thinking about it, this can't be said to be your fault. ] Mi, who was silent for a long time, didn't know how to comfort him. Even though she knew that she had grown up faster, she still felt sorry for the young man's expressionless face and secretly blaming himself.

The boy didn't answer her.

Mi was a little anxious all of a sudden, she could see the bloody wounds of the wounded through Giotto's eyes, and hear the painful wailing of the wounded, let alone Giotto, even Mi, who lived in a peaceful age, couldn't bear to look at such a scene .

【I might be able to cure them. 】When Mi hesitated to say this, she was actually very uncertain, and she didn't know whether she could do it, but she couldn't bear to see the young man in such a slump [I'm not sure myself. 】

[Is Ya also a doctor? ] Hearing Mi's words, the young man immediately responded. Before Mi could reply, he simply withdrew from the control of the sovereignty of the body. Obviously, he urgently hoped that Mi could do something to help these people who were seriously injured because of him.

Skill Blessing: Archangel's Mercy

Mi recited silently, and blessed herself with a skill. Originally, she couldn't bless herself with skills, but now in Giotto's body, this ability seems to be able to be used on herself. Mi doesn't know how much it will cost The recovered energy is just because I can't turn a blind eye, I can't look at the young man who blames himself so much, so I want to try again.

[I saved them, maybe I will cause you trouble, Giotto. 】Mi confirmed to the boy again【Is there any problem? 】

[If you can save it, save it first, no matter what the consequences are, we will talk about it later. 】The young man was very eager, and he didn't even care about the inexplicable premonition in his heart.

【Understood. 】

Mi closed his eyes, adjusted his mood, put his coat on the stone steps, and then walked towards the seriously injured people lying outside the church door. The boy in a white shirt had blond hair, and the light was broken into pale hair on the hair. With a faint halo, there was pity in his blue eyes, and his expression was solemn. He walked among the wounded, looked at the wounded who were sitting or lying, and said slowly, "The mercy of the archangel."

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, a series of white lights stretched out around the young man's feet, and the holy radiance quickly formed a solemn white magic circle. White spots of light floated from the white light, and then converged upwards to form a blurred, waving circle. A beautiful angel with wings in the shape of pity, the holy angel shattered the moment it was condensed, and the light spots floated into the body of the wounded inside the magic circle.

Under the comfort of the Holy Light, all the pain and suffering are far away from people.

"A miracle." A black-clothed priest standing on the high platform of the church murmured, "This is the ultimate miracle!!!"

The author has something to say: the next day, Mr. G went out, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the altar at the door and a group of worshipers, "God bless."

They kowtowed to Lord G like fanatics.

Xiaoyi who laughed so hard~!
