Chapter 1700 No.317: No Need for Test

"Trainer."

"Please say."

Occasionally, the black-haired horse girl who always ponders before speaking will abandon the silence.

They are few and far between, but enough for that equally special trainer to develop the ability to respond immediately.

"Is this really okay?" she asked softly, walking on the quiet yet dark road.

Even if the weather is clear and the moon is full in the sky.

The celestial phenomena in Tianmen City are always somewhat artificial, and the night scene is no exception. Even the full moon itself is a perfect combination of ingeniously designed modeling and textures.

Travelers from Earth are often able to realize this at the first time. After all, the brightness and size of the full moon are unreasonable. In some unique locations, ordinary cameras can capture some shocking giant moon scenes. It can be said that some personal aesthetics are added in the restoration process.

Although it is a personal opinion, it is very cool, so the voices of support are always louder than those of opposition; although it is a personal opinion, the pursuit of bigger, brighter and rounder is real, not just a result of visual effect. It is also because of the huge artificial light hanging in the sky that too much artificial light on the ground seems unnecessary, and it is closer to pure appreciation and entertainment than practicality.

But the path under the green shade remained abnormally dark, as if rejecting all the brilliance of the stars and the moon.

But it is just solemn.

If you truly reject the brilliance, there is no need to look up at the sky. Without light to make up the spectrum and form a picture, you will be unable to see anything.

Most of the time, physics is still a thing in Tianmen City. Once you realize this, you will find that this is not reflection but absorption.

The darkness cautiously engulfs the limited range, forming a dangerous road that should be full of unknowns.

But these two people seemed to ignore the darkness and walked slowly and steadily.

One golden eye is dim, and the other blood-red eye is steady, revealing the mood at the moment.

For the same well-considered action, some people consider it very early but are not happy with the conclusion, while others make up their minds today but are very determined.

"Rather than whether it's good or bad, I think what's more important is whether it should be done or not."

It was clearly a fireworks festival, a yukata party, and an opportunity not to be missed for couples, relatives and friends to walk together, but they had to take a walk in this gloomy forest...

Manchester City Tea House is sometimes a bad boy, but more often it is a good boy.

The quiet time she had with her trainer alone was certainly worth indulging in, but she wasn't so blind as to ignore the dangerous situation he was in on a human level.

It would be better to say that she didn't quite understand.

I don't understand why this trainer, who always seemed to be so mature and calm in interpersonal communication, would make such a low-level mistake at such a critical moment.

Compared to the opportunities it brought, the abnormal behavior of leaving his girlfriends alone seemed like some kind of carefully planned trap - Tea House, who firmly believed that the trainer would not be so stupid, could only think in this direction.

But even if it was heading in this direction... who was this trap meant for? Why was it set?

She doesn't understand.

Even though the trainer answered her doubts directly, she still didn't understand.

“Should I…?”

It sounds like he's considering some kind of necessity, but this kind of thing...what is the necessity of this kind of thing?
"Don't you think everyone's focus has shifted, Tea House?"

“…center of gravity?”

"Yes, center of gravity." The trainer said earnestly.

"We lost our focus and forgot why we were chasing. We attacked each other and schemed against each other, and even in the most favorable conditions, we couldn't find our own posture and position."

"Don't you think they need to calm down?"

"... "

I felt like I understood something but wasn't quite sure. For a moment, I was even more unsure whether I should break the window paper of this hazy conversation.

Because she suddenly felt a sense of panic.

A feeling of panic that everything would be turned upside down if I opened my mouth.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s good or bad, but the extreme uneasiness is extremely clear, so clear that it seems to allow me to draw a conclusion immediately.

I don't want to face the unknown, and I don't want to accept the development that will suddenly collapse this familiar world.

She didn't even want to think about it.

I am unwilling to deduce the possibility of such development based on the known information.

For a moment, it was like a prison in a painted circle. Her thoughts struggled in the narrow gap that seemed to have shrunk the world. In the extremely difficult and sluggish struggle, she accidentally touched something and was dragged away before she could feel it carefully. "But..." At the moment she opened her mouth, her sluggish thoughts could not even turn a little, and only words came out without thinking.

"But what about Sister Ling and the others?"

"No need to worry~"

That voice, which is comfortable yet a bit playful, is a unique tone that is only heard between lovers and relatives and friends.

It was easily distinguished from his previous heroic and unrestrained demeanor, and was even more familiar to the girl.

So she stopped and looked at the trainer who was also stopped.

The darkness that she had attracted was naturally unable to blind her bright golden eyes. She could clearly see that the blue-haired woman with a beautiful face and graceful figure quickly emerged from the empty space, and even more intimately put one arm around the trainer's neck.

"..."

"Hey, that spot next to the little snake is mine!"

Before they could even say anything in their astonishment, the pink-haired JK, who always heard someone's voice before seeing them, started to argue with them, causing everyone's eyes to look towards the bushes ahead that should have been shrouded in darkness as well.

There, Miss Xin Tiao Qian, who was pushing aside the large leaves unique to tropical plants, looked very angry.

The way he ran towards her quickly was even more aggressive, which made the tea host even more shocked. He almost couldn't help but look at Gatanjea, who was in his hand.

Is the link broken?

Nothing.

Are there too many commands issued in the darkness that make it unstable?

Just as she was thinking this, she released an instruction to the edge, and then she saw the banana leaves not far away suddenly curled up and dried up, as if they were poisonous.

"..." She also immediately resumed her command to avoid the irreversible damage from expanding or even causing accidental injuries.

"Darkness is functioning normally."

As if he could see clearly what she was thinking, in fact, he noticed with amazing keenness the abnormality of the banana leaves not far away. While Omar used words to dispel her hesitation, he opened his arms to welcome Qian's dribbling and hitting her.

"Go, go, get out of the way."

A pink-haired JK who relied on being the first to arrive, the youngest, and the most willful, even after rushing into her boyfriend's arms, still stretched out a hand to drive away the people around her.

"Then I'll go to the other side~" The older sister is easy to talk to.

"No!" But the pink-haired JK was still strict.

"The other side is for Chena-chan!"

She was quite considerate of her peers, as if she wanted to demonstrate the hierarchy of the Far Eastern people.

"So is Texas coming?"

Rather than calling her "Chena-chan" more intimately, Ling prefers to follow the habit of addressing her as a colleague when they were in Rhodes Island.

"coming."

There was no need for Akane to speak, as the silent and steady wolf girl followed her path. It was just that because she was also wearing a yukata, she subconsciously avoided it when passing through the leaves.

Her appearance made the tea seat even more confused. Subconsciously, a guess came to their mind and they looked at the trainer to try to verify it.

This sight also made her stunned again.

The other side of the trainer was occupied by a big sister with silver hair and whale ornaments, and suddenly her darkness, which was supposed to be used for detection, was unaware of it.

"Wait! Why is Ishamara occupying the seat? Didn't I say that was Chena-chan's seat?!"

"That's fine with me."

"How can you be indifferent!" The pink-haired JK who was pulling someone's sleeve had a look of pity and anger on her face.

"That's why you're at a disadvantage! Be careful to be surpassed by newcomers like Hol Haiya and He!"

"Eh? Akane still calls me by my full name behind my back? That's so sad..."

"..."

The black-haired horse girl, who had become numb, simply stared at the trainer from that moment on.

This also made it difficult for Omar, whose arms were restrained by two people on his left and right, to shrug. He could only say with helplessness on his face:
"As you can see, they don't have to worry."

“Their focus is even-handed.”
