I'll retire when I'm done

——Ever Dark Isle.

This is a mysterious island that suddenly appeared on the Pacific Ocean, shrouded in darkness all year round, because the electromagnetic waves of the night aurora can destroy electronic equipment, so the fighting style here is more inclined to modern close combat; as a purely neutral zone that does not belong to any country, This is also the main battlefield in the latter part of the war.

The moment he set foot on this island with Akiko Yosano, he felt an instinctive discomfort.

...the smell of blood is too strong.

In the air, in the ground, the ubiquitous smell of blood seems to have become a part of this island.

Residual limbs, minced meat, corpses and blood stains integrated into the pitch-black barren soil, and the dense bones buried under the soft soil, it is unknown whether they were buried casually by people, or were smashed out by wave after wave of bombing. The unknown soldier buried in the earth.

The war is cruel. The island is separated from the outside world with the sun and the moon in the dark night all year round. It is not just a thin number on paper. The arrogance and cruelty that crushes all life.

Here, the country and glory belong to the living, and for the vast majority of people, what awaits them is a tomorrow that they can never wake up again, or dragging their broken bodies and struggling with various aftereffects of war For the rest of my life.

Save as many lives as I can.

Do your best to prevent the shadow of war from spreading further in the rear.

—I am here for this.

The girl clenched her fists and straightened her chest, her eyes were firm and clear.

"Good start."

The man who brought her to the island clapped his hands with a smile, and pushed away the waiting room full of wounded people groaning.

"Come on, Yosano, we should start working."

***

The pace of life on the island is very fast, because her ability is like a savior to the battlefield, "Please don't die", this ability seems to be a miracle.

Soon, the girl became one with the soldiers—although she and Yosano Akiko had a bit of a bad temper, but how could this group of guys who were struggling endlessly on the battlefield care about such a small problem, "Like the soldiers from my hometown." "Same as a younger sister" and "reminds me of my own daughter" These warm memories dotted with peaceful breaths that were briefly recalled during the respite of the war brought the distance between Yosano Akiko and them closer.

In the aftertaste of leisure, people clustered together in twos and threes, chatting briskly.

"If you want me to say, girls should be like Xie Ye..."

"That's right, she still looks like a girl anyway, it's just too scary to be like Major Bai—"

"It's fair to say that I once worked with Mori Sanitation Section Chief. In a sense, those two guys are equally terrifying..."

"...Major Bai?" Yosano wiped the sweat off his face, and looked at Mori Ogai who was also busy, with some doubts, "Is it the same as me? A girl?"

The soldiers shook their heads frantically.

"No, no, no, please don't put that gentle and cute term on her! She will have nightmares! She will definitely have nightmares at night!"

"She's five years older than you." Mori Ogai ignored the soldiers' fake cries, and replied lightly, "I've applied to be transferred to the logistics department three months before you came, otherwise you should be able to meet."

Five years older than me...so 16 now?

Yosano Akiko's eyes were sparkling, full of anticipation: "A 16-year-old major..."

"There's nothing to look forward to."

Mori Ogai paused, but responded with a smile.

"Because the major's previous habit on the battlefield has always been that his subordinates do not leave anyone alive, and his reputation is not very good... and the current direction of the upper echelon is 'to show weakness appropriately, take the opportunity to seek public opinion and help find suitable allies', the major has become the top A chess piece that I dare not use anymore, that's why I was successfully transferred to the logistics department."

"And Xie Ye probably won't get along with her."

In the end, Mori Ogai commented in this way.

She was taken aback with Yosano Akiko.

"I'll know when I have a chance to see it later..."

Mori Ogai smiled a little coldly.

"—She and you are quite two kinds of people."

***

The work on the battlefield is not easy. Except for the soldiers who are seriously injured and dying and need to use the abilities of Yosano, many of them are only slightly injured. Medicines and gauze still have a huge consumption. At the age of 11 this year, he has already been forced to quickly learn most of the pharmacological knowledge and first aid methods in the extremely fast-paced battlefield life.

"Bandages—is there any bandages—!"

"Come over here with Yosano!"

"It's just a broken bone, just bandage it and it'll be fine!"

"Insufficient manpower can't be helped. An injury of this degree is not even worth treating. Pack up and go to the battlefield!"

"...It's hopeless, this guy's spirit has been completely..."

"...I can't help it, send it to the major and see how she plans to deal with it."

The poor guy whose mind had been completely destroyed by the war did not dare to move. He was carried on a stretcher, and soon left the room, disappearing from Yosano Akiko's sight.

"With Yosano—!"

After the initial treatment of the dying wounded, Yosano Akiko was caught by other nurses who rushed over before she could catch her breath: "We need to bring some gauze and medicine here, please help! "

"Oh!" The girl followed their footsteps without even thinking about it. The front line is understaffed, and the same is true for the rear; This is the place where the war is truly cruel—it will never only be destroyed, but also the souls that people think are extremely tough.

The girl who had been busy for 11 hours was already exhausted. Even an adult could hardly bear this kind of high-intensity work, let alone an [-]-year-old girl who was holding a box of medicines very close to Xie Ye. Knowing that I have received extra tolerance from my predecessors, compared to those bottles and cans filled with liquids and heavy gauze boxes, the aluminum foil boards in my box are light and light, and it is much easier to carry.

Even so, the girl's eyes were still darkened, and she fell straight forward——

"oops."

One cold hand grabbed her clothes by the nape of the neck, and the other hand supported the medicine box in Xie Ye's arms, and lifted her up like a kitten.

"Be careful."

What resounded above the girl's head was a young and strange female voice, clear and melodious, with a lazy flavor that was incompatible with this battlefield.

"Thank you."

The girl muttered in a daze, her eyes were still drooping on the floor, a pair of jet-black military boots first came into view, and then her long legs were straight and her waist was tight. A cool white collarbone with beautiful lines is exposed.

"You're welcome."

He Xie Ye looked up in a daze, and immediately met a pair of beautiful, almost inhuman, deep eyes.

The girl's rationality hadn't realized what happened, but when she met the other's eyes, she blushed instinctively.

The other party was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"I haven't seen you before, is the little girl new here?"

The facial features of that person are actually quite beautiful, and they are more suitable for a cold description than exquisite. The cool and thin facial features have a pair of abyss-like eyes. Instead of describing it as a beauty, it is better to describe it with a weapon. .

——No one is more suitable for the eternal night of the Everdark Isle and the dreamlike and beautiful aurora than her.

The girl thought blankly.

"My name is Bai Hong."

She stretched out her hand and made a very simple self-introduction.

The girl opened her mouth, and before she had time to respond, she was interrupted by someone yelling in a panic not far away: "Major Bai!" The nurse hurried over and gave her a reproachful look: "You Really... If you don't want to work, don't delay our work~"

It's just that the voice was soft and unintimidating, and the inexplicable shyness overwhelmed the usual viciousness of the head nurse, who was always grumpy. The major beside him smiled and raised his hands, with an innocent face: "I'm sorry, sorry, I just watched The child is a little too tired, so he just extended his hand to help a little, and this is not considered trouble."

"What kind of child..." The head nurse paused, a little helpless: "Aren't you only 16 years old this year?"

"I've been here for five years, no matter how you say it, I can't be called a child."

Bai Hong answered in this way, casually picked up the medicine box in Yosano Akiko's hands, and walked beside the head nurse with long legs.

The girl was taken aback, and reached out to take back her own box, but Bai Hong rubbed her head with her backhand, and a candy was stuffed into her palm.

I stayed with Yosano Akiko for a while, first glanced at the head nurse, and saw that this woman who had always been honest showed a little connivance and nodded to herself, then carefully unscrewed the candy wrapper and put the transparent candy on the mouth.

Supplies are in short supply on the battlefield, and cheap candies that were too lazy to look at before have now become rare luxury goods.

The little girl squinted her eyes and followed behind Baihong, with the tip of her tongue pressed against the candy and twirling happily in her mouth.

"Where is this little girl? Mori Ogai brought it back?"

The head nurse was taken aback: "Oh, the head of the health department told you?"

Bai Hong's face was expressionless for a moment: "No... This kind of bad taste can't be done by ordinary people except that pervert, right? I can guess it simply by guessing."

The head nurse showed a nostalgic smile: "The moment I saw Xie Ye, I thought there was another little devil coming... Did the major think so too? After all, this child came here at the same age as you were back then."

"Is it different?"

Bai Hong answered casually.

"I came here as a 'weapon'."

She stopped at the transfer point and put down the medicine box in her hand, and looked back at Yosano Akiko's shining eyes.

"The kid in your clothes...is not like me."

Bai Hong showed a gentle smile, leaned over against the girl's dissatisfied expression, and pinched Yosano Akiko's cheek.

"I am 'War Ghost' and she is 'Angel'."

The author has something to say: Mori Ogai’s statement that they can’t get along is true. These two people really couldn’t get along in the early days. One has just been on the battlefield for a few days, and the other has been here for five years. They have different ways of thinking.

By the way, I feel that Akiko Senchai's going to the battlefield is similar to Chubby's passing on the sale. They both only take the benefits and hang people without mentioning the sequelae.
