I'll retire when I'm done

Chapter 18 Persecution

"It's strange...that you should come to me again, Your Excellency the Major."

Mori Ogai interrupted the conversation of several people, and the head nurse hurriedly bowed to the head of the health department, and left with her medicine box in her arms.

"Oh, anyway, I'm going to come to you, and I'll give you something for the kids by the way."

With a calm expression, Baihong stretched out his hand to him generously.

"Is there a letter from me?"

"It's a pity, there is no one today..." Mori Ogai shrugged, his tone slightly helpless: "I said Major, you have sent letters to there for five years, and there has been no reply from the beginning to the end. I said It's time for you to give up too?"

Although she did say that she would write letters when she took Baihong away from Wutiao's house...but the boy had already refused at that time, right?One-way sending letters can last for five years, and I don't know what Bai Hong is thinking.

Bai Hong withdrew his hand, and waved at him blankly: "A poor guy like you who can satisfy his personal cravings with supernatural powers won't understand. For a person like me, the important thing is not to reply to the letter, but to answer the letter." There is a place to post letters."

Even a bird that can fly across the sea needs a resting place.

Marco had told her so when he was still aboard the Mordybuque.

If you really can't find an anchor point, find someone who can write a letter... It must be very important to remind you of the person who wrote the letter.

——Is that child important to me?

Bai Hong didn't know.

For now, she's just fulfilling her promise.

The little girl standing on one side was taken aback, and Xie Ye subconsciously inserted into the topic of the two: "No reply for five years?"

"Could it be over there—"

Her tone paused, her expression slightly amused.

It's not that the girl wants to curse people, but normal people would think that there must be something wrong if there is no reply for five years.

"That's not true." Bai Hong replied, "Because my letter is sent by the military means, there is no possibility that it will not be delivered, and it is not like an ordinary family over there who can't die so early, so it's just that I didn't Just write me back."

Mori Ogai immediately turned his head to look at her, and slightly raised his voice: "I've told you many times, please don't use your privileges on weird people!"

"But there is no reply for five years, it's too..." Yosano Akiko frowned slightly.The place outside Ever Dark Island is still peaceful in contrast, no matter how hard you think about it, you can’t think of a reason why there is no response within five years.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is no intention to reply to the letter at all, or that there is no need to reply to the letter at all.

...Maybe I forgot.

To put it cruelly, she is so obsessed with the person she wrote the letter to, she may have forgotten who this person is.

"The person the major is writing to is a super-ruthless guy. Tell Yosano, are you right?" Seeing the change in the girl's expression, Mori Ogai immediately began to seek allies: "Let me tell you, major, she can What a weird guy, Xie Ye, you have to remember, although arrogance and toughness are also good attributes, but don’t grow up to be an adult like the major—it hurts!!!”

Bai Hong folded his arms and took back the kick that kicked him in the back, and stepped back to the ground slowly.

"I wanted to say it a long time ago, you guys are terrible at educating children."

"What does it matter." Mori Ogai frowned and rubbed his lower back, hissed and gasped, and replied casually: "Anyway, you are not a normal child, so there is no need to treat you like ordinary people. Bar."

There was an undisguised coldness and cruelty in the man's voice, as if his tone of indifference and indifference towards props was enough to make people feel uncomfortable with their rational instincts.

Baihong's expression was calm, but Yosano Akiko couldn't help but frowned and shrank his shoulders a little.

Major Bai patted Xie Ye on the head and said warmly, "Don't scare the children."

Mori Ogai lowered his eyelashes, met Kami and Yosano Akiko's self-possessed eyes, seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back into his mouth.

"Since the major asks me for letters every time, why don't you contact your brother? I think your brother should reply to your letter."

"Thanks to you, I gave him all the salary cards." Bai Hong's face darkened instantly: "I only need to see the money that disappears regularly every month, and I know that guy is still alive. It's faster than replying to letters."

Seeing her gritted teeth in hatred, Mori Ogai let out a chuckle.

"In short, there is no letter."

After the military doctor laughed, he couldn't help but sighed again. He changed the subject casually, then touched his pocket and took out a handful of candy, and handed it to Bai Hong.

"But there is this."

Xie Ye saw the glass-colored candy paper exposed between the other's fingers, it was the candy that Bai Hong gave him before.

"Don't treat me like a kid...and I'd rather eat chocolate if I could get candy."

Bai Hong frowned slightly, but still opened his hand to take the handful of candies.

"Be patient, Ever Darkness Island is short of supplies, it's not bad to be able to get this."

Bai Hong pouted.

"What does the guy who can casually abduct newcomers from the outside say..."

Mori Ogai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Because Yosano's ability is very special and coincides with the thesis I submitted before, so I was specially approved to leave."

"Your what...'undead legion' bad idea?"

As soon as Mori Ogai raised his voice, he was a little excited: "That's it! Why, is the major finally interested?"

"..."

Bai Hong put the candies into his pocket, his tone returned to his indifferent tone.

"No."

The man frowned and looked at Baihong's expression. Seeing that her expression was the same as before, he couldn't help but sighed along with Youyou: "Ruthless... Obviously you gave me a lot of ideas at that time."

"The situation is different." Bai Hong frowned: "You gave me wrong information and that's why I helped. It turns out that your idea is not feasible at all."

"If you don't join my plan, then it's really not feasible..." Mori Ogai drew the end of the voice slowly, "As for now, with the help of Xie Ye, I can also look at it from another angle Try the viability of that plan."

"With Xie Ye? This little girl?"

Bai Hong looked down at the little girl who was concentrating on turning the candy with her tongue, then raised her eyes and glanced at Mori Ogai: "What's wrong with her?"

"Yoshino's ability is 'Please don't die', the ability to save people from the brink of death—in other words, there are no wounds that she can't heal in this world, which is different from any kind of battle. It is a supernatural ability that is more precious than anyone else and more suitable for the battlefield.”

Bai Hong tilted his head, and looked down at Akiko Xie Ye with a dazed expression, clearly not understanding what they were talking about.

"...You think so too?"

"I think so!" The girl's eyes were shining, full of pure expectation: "War is cruel, but I can stop that cruelty and save the lives that shouldn't be left."

—— Yosano Akiko did not deny that for a moment, she was waiting for the other party's compliment.

Whether it's a sincere exclamation, or a superficial compliment... She is looking forward to that response.

But to her surprise, this beautiful older sister, whom Akiko Yosano liked very much at first glance, did not show an expression of approval like the others.

On the contrary, the corners of her eyes and brows seemed to be covered with cold frost in an instant. The eyebrows and eyes, which were considered gentle just now, suddenly became quite indifferent.

"There is no life on the battlefield that should not be left."

She dropped her evaluation and her eyes became cold.

"A superpower like yours is just another kind of torture on the battlefield."

In the next moment, Yosano Akiko was very frightened and furious, and immediately rushed to Baihong: "You——!"

"I'm just describing the facts that you don't want to admit...Of course, I don't know what ecstasy soup this wicked man poured into you to bring you to this ghost place, but I can tell you that on this battlefield The most merciful salvation is not a perfect cure, but a complete death."

Bai Hong caught Yosano Akiko's backhand slap, and his tone was terribly cold: "You treat ordinary people, right? I don't think their willpower is strong enough to withstand repeated deaths. For those people Their pain is real, the death they have experienced is real, and the shadow of the battlefield they cannot escape is also real. I advise you to let go of unnecessary illusions about salvation as soon as possible, and leaving early is the best."

Mori Ogai stood behind the angry girl, smiling and persuading Bai Hong: "Your Excellency, Major, restrain yourself a little, you will be hated by the cute girl when you talk like this."

Bai Hong let go of his hand, and looked at the little girl who was looking forward to him, shaking her hand and running away angrily.

"Having the intention to hate others means that the soul is still alive. After all, it is better to be directly tortured by you and not respond to my words at all."

She looked up at Mori Ogai with only a look of indifference on her face.

"Do you really think that all children are monsters like me?...The more innocent children are, the less suitable they are for this kind of place. They really want to save lives, not for you to use them as props to make your undead army .”

The military doctor looked sad: "I said before that the two of you can't get along—Your Excellency Major, it's because you don't have the innocence and cuteness of a girl at all, that's why I lost my feelings for you prematurely...It's a pity, you were so cute when you were young. Zhang Lian, why did he develop in this direction when he grew up?"

Bai Hong clicked his tongue and took a step back.

"Then I really thank you for letting me go."

Mori Ogai shrugged, and said casually: "Speaking of which, I'm so worried that ordinary soldiers can't bear it. Wouldn't it be better for the major to go to battle in person?... Ordinary people really can't bear it, even if the body heals the mind. If it is affected, it will sooner or later become an abandoned consumable, but the major known as the 'War Ghost' is different, right?"

Mori Ogai left with his hands behind his back, leaving a meaningful sentence at the end.

"My best choice is always you, Bai Hong."
