Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

The withdrawal of the aircraft carrier Yan Knight is a metaphor for the failure of this war. If you want to say that the most fortunate people can only be those soldiers who are on the verge of collapse. Maybe some are still guilty, but they will bring a little relief after all.

"There is still some time before I return to Japan."

Having already left the range of Changan Island, the aircraft carrier that had almost reached the sea was still breaking through the waves. Miki Nozomi looked at the endless sea in front of him for a while, then raised his head and turned to the speaker.

"I'm going to see Akiko."

The already clear eyes almost came out of the darkness where there were only lights, and under the sunlight, they took on an almost light golden color, and even the skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and a little bit of it was born for no reason. Piao Miao is about to disappear.

"Is this the only thing?"

The sea breeze blew the hair of the child in front of him into a mess, and Mori Ogai squatted down and raised his hand to push back the hair that was blown to the front.

The soft feeling touched by his fingertips made him sure of the truth in front of him, and he lowered his eyes, as if giving orders.

"While there is still time, do what you want to do as soon as possible."

After all, after the handover, everything here is beyond his control.

Miki Nozomi looked up at the man who was likely to be bound to him from now on, and spoke softly.

"Is there anything else for me?"

The "last words" of her father are true, and the "discord" between herself and the other party is just a disagreement of ideas, because from a certain point of view, she and the other party are both "right", so this kind of Discord prevents even so-called hate from arising.

Even though she will be chosen by emotion, she is also rational, and even she understands her current situation.

Without a "guardian", one's own "guardian" will become a country.Then, the rest of my life can already be predicted.

Otherwise, it would be good if my father entrusted himself directly to the country, why would he ask Mori Ogai in front of him again?

"It will be different in the future."

As if to comfort, but also seemed to be just an ordinary sentence, Mori Ogai stood up.

"bring it on."

He held out his hand to Miki Nozomi.

"I'll take you there."

Miki Nozomi was silent for a second, then spoke silently.

"...I know the way."

What's the use of holding hands?Dr. Sen, you were not like this before...

"How should I put it, I always feel that since we want to live together in the future, we need to get closer."

Mori Ogai still stretched out his hand, his voice was troubled but full of sincerity.

"To be honest, I really don't have much experience in getting along with a child like you. I'm still such a lovely child like Miss. I even doubted whether I could raise you well, so I would become a little Worry."

He smiled and continued speaking.

"If there's anything I don't do well, please miss...no, Axi."

As if suddenly realizing his status as the current guardian, he paused, observed Miki Nozomi's expression, and carefully changed his title.

"Just ask Axi to tell me."

What he said was retreating and advancing, and even brought a bit of his own mood, and his expression was even more earnest that was visible to the naked eye.

"Doctor Sen..."

Miki Nozomi stared at the man in front of him with a somewhat apprehensive expression, and raised his hand to cover the other's warm palm.

"You really are..."

The rest of the words dissipated in the air before they were uttered, and Miki Nozomi just sighed in her heart.

terrible.

Is he really because of the so-called "last wish"?Miki Nozomi knew this in his heart long ago.

From the first day when she came here and met him for the first time, she realized that this man was not simple, and that he was approaching and coveting him vaguely, even the way he looked like a novice father at the moment.

So she knew that he liked [Unnamed Love Letter] more than Miki Nozomi.

But she has no choice, has she?

Whether it is "serving the country", or being approached by his father's enemies, or the man in front of him.She didn't have the right to choose at all, but at least, he was entrusted by his father himself.

This is enough.

As the other party deliberately slowed down, gradually leaving the warm sunshine outside, and returning to the interior of the base with only no temperature lights, Miki Nozomi listened to the steady sound of military boots touching the ground, and stared at the front of the aisle expressionlessly, The eyes are clear and thorough.

You don't need much reason, that's enough.

"Crack-"

There was the sound of the door being opened, and a figure appeared at the door.However, all of this failed to attract Yosano Akiko's attention, she just hugged her knees and curled up on the bed.

Nozomi took a few steps to the bed and held Yosano Akiko's hand, but the other party subconsciously held her tightly.

Miki Nozomi pursed her lips and turned her head.

"Then Dr. Sen..."

"Okay, I see."

Before Miki Nozomi could say anything more, Mori Ogai understood what the other party meant, he turned and left the room, and even closed the door intimately.

Miki Nozomi turned her head to look at Yosano Akiko who had empty and lifeless eyes, and stretched out her other hand to cover her eyes.

A faint light emerged from Miki Nozomi's body, and those negative thoughts belonging to the other party were pulled into her heart little by little. After a while, when the connection was finally disconnected, she felt a wet feeling in her hands.

She immediately clung to Yosano Akiko's ear and whispered.

"Don't make a sound."

"...?"

Without asking why, Yosano Akiko just nodded obediently without making a sound.

"Now, I want to tell you something, Akiko."

Withdrawing the hand that blocked Yosano Akiko's eyes, she turned to the top of the opponent's head and helped her smooth the messy hair.

Miki Nozomi stared at the other party's eyes that had finally regained some light, and his voice was small but clear.

"Now, the entire aircraft carrier is already on its way back to Japan."

With Akiko Yosano:! ! !

"Back... back?!"

Almost unable to restrain his voice, he and Akiko Yosano covered their mouths, trying to suppress it.

"Going back? Soldiers, us, all..."

Her words were incoherent, and the excitement could be easily heard.

"Yes."

Miki Nozomi gave an affirmative answer.

"We're almost in Japan."

"Great...great...soldier..."

When the soldiers were mentioned, Yosano Akiko who was still excited suddenly fell down. She looked down at the dirty clothes on her body with a daze in her eyes.

"But those... soldiers who committed suicide..."

Those soldiers who he could not save no matter what...

"Listen to Akiko, none of that has anything to do with you."

Miki Nozomi patted the hand on the other's shoulder with the hand that straightened her hair, with a serious expression.

"You can't help it, can't you, all of this is beyond your control."

"But……"

"No buts."

Interrupting Yosano Akiko's self-blaming words, Miki Nozomi took a deep breath to soften her tone.

"There's not much time left. Now listen to me, you who have recovered will definitely be dragged to continue treatment, and those who have not recovered will be put in a certain place."

She said this, as if to tell the other party the seriousness of the matter, with an extremely serious expression.

"If you don't want to do this, just pretend that you haven't recovered, so that you have enough time to think about it."

Whether it is about oneself or the future, such a big matter must be decided in the calmest situation.

Having said that, Miki Nozomi's voice was filled with guilt.

"I'm sorry Akiko, I can't stay with you anymore."

"There is no... way?"

Yosano Akiko was startled suddenly, her heart even missed a beat.However, before she could say anything, Miki Nozomi put his index finger to her mouth, preventing her from speaking.

"Once I go back, I have to leave. No matter what state you are in, Akiko, we can't be together, so the only thing I can do now is one."

Miki Nozomi raised the corners of her lips and showed a comforting smile, her eyes were soft, and even the gaze she looked at Akiko was as gentle as warm wind, which even made Yosano Akiko forget her own problems in an instant , sinking into those eyes that shone like the light of a lake.

she says--

"Let me keep writing to Akiko until I really think about it one day."

……

……

The war was lost, two years later.

"Xi-chan—Xi-chan—"

Mori Ogai, who had already taken off his military uniform and changed into his current white coat, opened the door while shouting like a real ordinary person.

"Doctor Sen."

Miki Nozomi in the room looked up at the door and spoke helplessly.

"What's matter?"

And, why since the other party left the army, he has gradually changed from the original soldier-like person to a doctor who is more and more... outside?

Although occasionally you can still see the sharp eyes of the other party as before, and they are quite reliable when doing business, but in normal times...

Forget it……

"Can't you come to Xi-chan if you have nothing to do? And it's not Dr. Mori but Rintaro!"

Why has Xi-chan called herself like this for two years and hasn't changed at all?Just from you to you is too small OTZ

Walking into the room with a smile, Mori Ogai wanted to talk about something else, but was resentfully defeated by Miki Nozomi's calm "I'm just watching you act like this" eyes.

"Okay, I'll recruit."

Raising his hand in a gesture of surrender, Mori Ogai explained.

"Ms. Natsume introduced a 'bodyguard' over here. You also know that it's not peaceful recently. Dutiful citizens like us are easily endangered."

After all, the leader of the port mafia had a tendency to "go crazy" recently, disturbing the entire Yokohama.

"bodyguard?"

Miki Nozomi closed the book in his hand, and instantly guessed the deep meaning in it.

"That bodyguard...isn't that simple?"

"Well, it depends on when he arrives."

Saying that, Mori Ogai pulled up the chair next to him and sat down directly, spreading his hands.

"Since I can be introduced by Natsume-sensei, no matter how you say it, my skills won't be bad."

Otherwise, it would be a joke if a bodyguard was not as skilled as a doctor like himself.

So he must not be inferior to him, but his identity is really a bit curious, but Mr. Natsume just won't tell, what can he do?

"Oh."

Looking at the book in his hand again, Miki Nozomi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"...Xi-chan, you are so ruthless."

There was even a bit of resentment in his voice, but Mori Ogai could only sigh and talk about another question.

"How about eating noodles tonight? It's autumn, and eating hot noodles will be very warm."

"casual."

Mori Ogai: "..."

Sure enough, Xi-chan is so ruthless...

But I like~ like~
