Looking at Yukong on the light screen, he felt the same way.

He could fully understand Yukong's sighs in his diary.

Many people join the military because they want to protect something.

However, reality will always teach you how to be a human being - you can't protect anything.

Guangyuan’s death in the previous diary entry was just an opening statement.

What is described in this diary is the real pressure.

The battle situation at the front is unclear, and my comrades are dying one by one... I'm not sure when it will be my turn...

The birth of a new life is of course a good thing, but do I really have the chance to go back and see Cai Yi's child...?

This will especially make people doubt - they want to protect a happy life, but they are just a speck of dust in the universe, what can they do?

Archer recalled the time when she was summoned by Rin Tohsaka - she asked about her past life experiences and where in history she was a hero.

I could only say that there was a problem with the summoning and I couldn't remember it clearly - in fact, I just couldn't say it.

I am Emiya Shirou.

In order to become a partner of justice, he made a pact with the Alaya-vijnana during his lifetime to become the guardian of humanity, protecting them during their lifetime and also after their death as a heroic spirit.

However, after guarding for countless reincarnations, I still cannot protect anything.

Therefore, I can experience the feeling of flying in the air.

However, Yukong could retire from the army and become a civilian, so that his daughter would not join the army and avoid evoking old memories.

But since I have become a Heroic Spirit, I must fulfill my duty of "protection" whenever I am summoned.

So my purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was to kill my past naive self and try to change everything!

Xing wiped Qingni's tears and patted her shoulder. They both turned another page of the diary.

[There's something off about the first paragraph of this diary.]

【"Diary (4)"】

"Cai Yi, I have a lot to say to you, so much."

"After you die, they're going to give me a medal. Frankly, I think that's ridiculous."

“Normally, no one would award medals to survivors of natural or man-made disasters to honor them… but I was lucky enough to survive.”

["But Tianbo Division Meeting."]

"They decorated me and called me a heroic pilot simply because I was lucky enough to survive that disastrous battle."

"If you were so lucky, we could both receive the award. After the awarding ceremony, we could go to Golden Man Lane and have a couple of drinks while laughing at their absurdity..."

"Unfortunately, you're unlucky. We don't have this chance anymore."

"I suddenly feel nostalgic. I miss the good old days when we sailed freely through the skies of Luofu on our Star Raft."

"We were so happy back then, without the threat of life or death, and without the need to undertake hunting missions."

[“The entire sky in the cave belongs to us, just you and me…”]

"Looking up, I see the flickering dome of the cavernous sky; looking down, I see the lights of a myriad of houses in a bustling city; turning back, I see the deacon of the Land and Measure Division pursuing me relentlessly."

"We were so happy back then. I wish I could stay there with you forever."

[Seeing this, Qingni, who had never been in battle before, was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.]

Even though Xing had experienced battles, he could only hug Qingni's shoulders and remain silent.

[I have only experienced battles, not wars.]

It's not about the size of your fist, it's about people dying in front of you every moment.

[But just when the two were feeling sad——"What are you doing!!!"]

[A mature and steady voice suddenly came from behind, startling the two of them!]

·····

Demon Slayer World.

Tanjiro was with Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was lazy and did not participate in the Pillar training, and they were looking at the light screen silently.

Although they had already learned the news of Cai Yi's death from General Jing Yuan.

But, General, that was just a statement.

Ke Yukong's diary contains emotional monologues.

Yes, monologue, because Caiyi can’t see Yukong’s diary now.

Tanjiro looked at Agatsuma Zenitsu - both of them thought of the people they cared about.

Zenitsu Agatsuma thought of his master - his master was always strict, but he always lacked confidence.

Knowing that his master was killed by his senior brother, he was unable to improve his strength and bring honor to his master.

Tanjiro thought of the Flame Pillar.

Mr. Purgatory’s heroic character and hearty laughter are still vivid in my mind.

How much Tanjiro wishes to learn more about some moves from Mr. Rengoku...

But, there is no but.

They are all dead.

Thinking about how Mr. Purgatory saved me who was not capable enough, and also saved everyone, but he died...

Tanjiro could understand very well how Yukong felt when she saw Tianbosi awarding her the medal.

It's not because of outstanding military achievements... but simply because of survival... that's why I was awarded...

Tanjiro punched the ground!

This is really ridiculous!

Chapter 183: Flying in the Air (8): V: Lao Wei’s sense of déjà vu!

[The two turned around and saw—it was Mr. Iwaaki from the Tianbosi!]

"How can it be that the helmsman's precious daughter is here with a stranger touching everything?!"

"What are you holding? Let me see..." Yan Ming snatched the document from Qing Ni's hand, his eyes widening. "Master Yukong's... diary?! How dare you!"

Yan Ming looked at Qing Ni, about to speak, then turned to look at Xing, "How dare you read Master Yukong's personal diary? And bring his daughter along with you? Emperor Gong, you are truly—"

Xing scratched his head awkwardly, "I'm sorry to say Yukong's daughter, quickly clear the air and just scold me..."

"I can't help it, it's because I have such a big face..."

Qingni hurriedly grabbed Mr. Yanming and told him everything that had happened and her thoughts. Only then did Yanming understand Qingni's thoughts.

"I've been here for a while now. If you have anything you want to know, just ask me..." He waved the information in front of Qingni's eyes twice, "Don't flip through it. It's a bad habit."

[Qing Ni asks Mr. Yan Ming about the kind of person Ms. Cai Yi, who was her mother's partner back then.]

"Cai Yi was one of the best warriors at the time, and countless people wanted to fly with her."

"Her husband, Hirobuchi-san, is a pilot. Piloting a warship together as a couple is truly enviable." Mr. Iwaaki pondered.

"But the person who's most compatible with her and her most frequent partner is your mother. Even Mr. Guangyuan is second only to them in the number of battles they've fought together."

"Especially after Mr. Guangyuan's death, Cai Yi rarely partners with anyone other than your mother."

Mr. Iwaaki said with some sadness, "Alas, it's a pity that Caiyi passed away not long after. Such is the life of a pilot. No one knows if this flight will be the last."

Cyberpunk 2077 world.

V lay in the car, looking at the light curtain in the sky.

Could it be that Mr. Yanming knows something?

V, a former employee of the company, saw Iwaaki's surprised face and then immediately "blamed" Xing's actions, and guessed that Mr. Iwaaki was a veteran.

The two young men secretly looking through the information of the shipping company can be a big deal or a small one - at the most serious level, it is illegal, and at the least, they can just be given a warning.

One is the daughter of the captain, and the other is the general's guest. Both of them will be fine - but it is hard to say about the "eyewitness" Yan Ming.

So, he quickly said some polite words to make the situation clear.

However, he was still very kind - he told the two young people not to rummage through the books, but they could ask questions.

Such thoughtfulness reminded V of someone - Lao Wei.

When Jack was still around, I upgraded my prosthetic body here.

Lao Wei was really generous. He directly used an electronic eye from Qilusi on himself - and even allowed him to buy it on credit.

More than 2 yuan... I haven't paid it back to Lao Wei yet, but Lao Wei saved my life.

V scratched his head... Lao Wei's money must be repaid, and Johnny's affairs must also be investigated...

It seems that I still need to take on some work and earn some money!

Cai Yi's death was a heavy blow to Yu Kong. As a result, after retiring, Yu Kong didn't even hand in Cai Yi's belongings as per the rules. Instead, he kept them for himself and looked at them from time to time.

[Xing and Qingni exchanged a glance—it seemed they had to go look for Caiyi's relics.]

[The only place this relic could be kept is naturally Yukong's desk.]

Iwaaki, sensing the two men's subtle intentions, coughed twice. "—I'll pretend I knew nothing and leave... Being absent when a leader's private information is exposed is the most basic quality in our workplace."

"Don't tell your mother that you saw me today!" Mr. Yanming said in a low voice.

After thanking Mr. Yanming, the two went to Yukong's desk. Yukong left for a while, giving the two plenty of time to look through the diary. Before long, they found Caiyi's diary.

[The time points in Caiyi's and Yukong's diaries all correspond to each other, starting with the diary from when the two became combat partners.]
