The girl also tilted her head slightly, said nothing, and continued to squint her eyes, looking at the ruins in front of her.

I don’t know what I’m missing.

"Where's Maurice?" she asked suddenly.

Pullman behind him shook his head.

"If it was that guy..." Pullman added, "He would probably go somewhere to smoke and stare at this place or the sky. Even if he didn't say it, this incident must have been a big blow to him."

The complete destruction of the Zero Generation Machine was not only a heavy blow to the country's strength, but also meant that all previous efforts had been turned to ashes.

Although it was just something "stolen", only the professors themselves knew the effort they put into it.

"...Too clever is foolish." Moira narrowed her eyes and curled up the corners of her mouth, not knowing what she was laughing at.

Only Pullman snorted as if in disdain.

"It's ruined now," said Moira. "I did my best to get this one out at the time."

"... Then, what's next..."

"The proxy war is our victory. But whether you can actually get the results of the victory depends on your own efforts." Moira said.

"……Yes."

"As expected, you humans still have to walk your own path." Moira narrowed her eyes and said, "It's really useless to force things to happen."

"...Yes, teacher."

Pullman bowed his head.

When he raised his head again, the little girl in front of him had disappeared.

He suddenly sighed deeply.

The war is about to begin again.

……

Moira put her hands behind her back and took small steps to look around.

She saw a little girl not far away leaning against the wall staring at the sky in a daze, and remembered that it was Sharp who was with Lily and Coco before.

His eyes looked at the light blue sky, filled with a little loneliness and confusion.

Now Sharp is alone again.

Moira thought about it and decided to go and say hello.

She ran forward in small steps, not even paying attention to the girls passing by.

Instead, the girl turned around to apologize, but only saw Moira running away.

"Nina?"

The leading girl looked back in confusion, and Nina followed in small steps.

"I'm sorry, just now..."

"It's okay, it's okay." The girl said, "On the contrary, Nina, you need to stay alert. We will meet our friends soon."

"...Yes. Thank you."

"That's too strange, Nina!"

The girl grabbed Nina's arm without hesitation.

The two of them walked forward in big and small steps.

Until finally, we came to a large, dilapidated warehouse.

It looked like no one had used this place for a long time, but it was rarely damaged in the previous chaos.

Nina was still a little scared when she thought about the battle between the higher races, until the girl next to her patted her on the shoulder.

"Here it is... Let's go in."

Nina pushed open the door.

The sunlight from the high windows on both sides shines through the slightly dirty glass into the large open space. The space is a bit old and heavy, but there is not much dust. There are some abandoned mechanical rods and broken tables and chairs leaning against the old walls with some scratches.

The space in the middle was cleared and neatly placed in rows of chairs.

The chairs didn't look new, the colors and heights were slightly different, and it was not uncommon for them to have short legs or have been repaired. They seemed to squeak when you sat on them.

There were already several girls waiting in such a place.

When they saw Nina coming in, they all smiled brightly and walked forward, introducing themselves and greeting the newcomer.

"Hello~"

"You are Nina, right? I am..."

"I've heard of it before, it's really cute..."

Nina replied somewhat stiffly, but her tone gradually became more lively as the conversation continued.

Looking back, there were some noble classmates in the class who took good care of Nina.

But even the brief comfort after being bullied - perhaps because of her status - could not make Nina feel so relieved.

"So, classmate Nina, have you made up your mind?" asked the leading girl.

The surroundings became quiet.

Nina nodded:

"I made a decision."

"Well. Come on." The girl walked up to the stage - only to find that the open space in front was covered with a worn carpet, marking the podium.

The girl raised her hands above her head and said:

"Follow me—"

Nina nodded. She followed the girl and read word by word:

"—I swear."

I swear.

Advocate for the person's position.

Protect human interests.

Oppose the oppression of rights.

Oppose the threat of violence.

Help each other and treat others as you would like to be treated.

Dedicate your life to world equality.

"——The children of God are born equal."

The leading girl turned around and reached out to Nina:

"Well then... Nina-san. Welcome to join our 'Tonghehui'."

Nina held her hand.

There was applause of congratulations all around.

Wait for the applause to die down.

They gathered around Nina, raised their hands above their heads again, and whispered:

"...In the name of the God of Man, I offer you my blessing."

Volume 4: The Whiteness of Pansy as a Gift

165. Heading East

In the myths handed down among mankind, the world consists of five gods.

Every god has his own descendants whom he protects.

Angel's [God of the Sun and Sky].

The elves' [God of Nature and Earth].

The [God of Life and Death] of the vampires.

The dwarven god of war.

The Dragon Clan's [God of Strength].

The symbol of God's blessing is the [Seal of Race] of the descendants and the [Power] that corresponds to them.

Human beings have no gods who can protect them.

Or, it is because there is no god's blessing.

That’s why they are human.

……

The terrain becomes flatter as you head east, and the area of ​​forests, grasslands, and rivers increases.

The carriage sped along, emerging from the forest. All along the way was wilderness.

It was drizzling and the sky was a little dark. The road was muddy and slippery, and the carriage could not move very fast.

The coachman arranged by An Fei took several people to Ankan. When the horses were tired, Ai'er and others got off and changed to another carriage, letting the coachman leave alone.

"...After crossing this river, on the other side is Erit." Ai'er pointed at the map and said, "Just take this path, then go through the woods and go straight through the river."

"Is it possible to get through? If it rains like this, the water level will continue to rise." Coco was a little hesitant.

"It doesn't matter." Ai'er was very confident: "I don't plan to walk over normally anyway. Some small magic should not attract attention."

Coco and Elle both have the ability to express themselves to the horses, so they don't need a driver, it just takes some energy.
