Bai Xin nodded gently: "The next time we meet, if I am still alive and if the missions do not conflict, you can fully trust the Night Crow Squad."

After a pause, she smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if the tasks conflict. There will always be a solution."

Volume 0 ④ Gleipnir

Chapter 0: Lossless Return

The 'Emerald Dream' is still full of vitality, giving people a feeling of complete relaxation of the body and mind.

As soon as everyone returned, Takeo Goda and Takashi Komuro sat down on the grass in a daze, while the two surviving newcomers looked around curiously with amazed eyes.

This mission was really lucky. We originally thought we were being "hunted" and everyone was ready to die, but they all survived.

Novels need to be logically coherent, but reality just doesn't make sense. This time, everyone returned intact, and there was no need for the observer to repair their bodies. No one expected this.

"Welcome to the Emerald Dream, both of you." Kitahara Sora said as he looked at the two new members with curious faces, "This is the game space, an absolutely safe place to rest."

"Emerald Dream, game space?" Kobayashi Daigo's gaze was still on the surrounding environment. He had never seen such a beautiful forest, not even on TV. This kind of dazzlingly beautiful environment was not something that humans could imagine.

"Yes, about a series of things here..."

Kitahara Sora turned his gaze to Yukino, who nodded slightly and reached out to the rattan table and chairs that Kitahara Sora had conjured up earlier, "Mr. Kobayashi, Mr. Kazami, please come over and have a cup of tea first. I will briefly introduce the rules here and how to return to reality."

"Back to reality!"

The undertaker's eyes suddenly widened, his expression was filled with great joy, and he suddenly became excited.

The key question that he had almost 'forgotten' was brought up again. He couldn't help but take a step forward and stretched out his hands to pinch Yukino's shoulders to confirm, "Ms. Yukinoshita, let's return to reality! How do we return..."

"Let's go have a drink first." Yukino suddenly flashed, and before Kobayashi Daigo approached, her body was already next to the pavilion.

Yukino tilted her head slightly and said in a cold and gentle voice, "How about black tea? Or another kind? We have everything Mr. Kobayashi wants to drink."

While asking, the steaming hot tea had already gurgled into the cup.

"Sorry." Xiaolin Daigo was stunned for a moment, then realized his mistake and smiled awkwardly: "Black tea will be fine."

"This way please." Yukino turned around and greeted politely: "And Kazami-kun, come over here too."

The young man with a gloomy face nodded slightly and walked over.

Beiyuan Kong nodded slightly. This guy has good psychological quality. Although his eyes showed great surprise and curiosity when he came to the unfamiliar environment, he still did not show emotions on his face even though he knew he had returned to reality. He was a qualified killer.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while. I'll have the observers evaluate this mission and calculate the rewards in about ten minutes."

Kato Hui nodded slightly, then walked towards her cabin without saying a word...

"benefit?"

"I'm going to change my clothes. Do you want to come with me?" Kato Megumi turned around and gave Kitahara Sora a sweet smile. "If Kitahara-senpai wants to see it..."

"No, that's not necessary." Kitahara Kong's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand awkwardly to interrupt.

The only two girls in the team are both very beautiful. Yukino is like the eternal snow on the Alps, cold and noble.

But when she smiled, it was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning passing through the horizon, dyeing the cold-toned world with a layer of golden glow, and even the peerless and independent snow lotus looked exceptionally gorgeous.

Hui looks approachable at first glance, but as long as you keep your eyes on her face for a second, you will have an extremely amazing feeling, especially her eyes as clear as a trickle of water, which makes people want to scoop up a handful and drink it all in one gulp.

She became even more charming when she smiled. The pair of bright eyes under her long eyelashes immediately turned into the sun, moon and stars, like a brilliant galaxy, illuminating the empty universe.

But Bei Yuankong didn't think her smile was very attractive at this moment. Instead, it just gave him a faint chill that even gave him goose bumps!

What's wrong with you?

I just asked out of confusion. I didn't know if you were going to change clothes. Are you still obsessed with the incident during the sparring session where you played with her equipment?

"Even if Kitahara-senpai wants to see it, I won't agree." Kato Megumi suddenly put away her smile, replaced it with her usual expressionless face, and calmly added what was interrupted by Kitahara Sora.

As expected, she still cares about that incident! Is Kei such a grudge?

"Go quickly, it's better to take a shower." Kitahara Sora looked at Hui helplessly. This girl did have a dark side.

Kato Hui lowered her head and looked at her dirty clothes. "Ten minutes is not enough to take a bath."

"..."

Seeing that Kitahara Sora had completely shut up, Hui didn't say anything else and turned and left.

"Ah... I'm alive again." Takashi Komuro, who was lying next to him, gazed at the sky with lush branches and leaves, and sighed with great satisfaction.

"Me too."

"I'm lucky this time, but next time..." Kitahara Sora shook his head, lay on his back next to Komuro Takashi, and didn't say the next words.

In silence, the gentle breeze blew on his cheeks, gently ruffling his hair that was solidified by sweat and blood. Fragments of sunlight shone on his face through the leaves. Suddenly, he felt sleepy, causing Bei Yuankong to squint his eyes slightly.

Just when his consciousness was becoming hazy and he was about to fall asleep, a loud roar with full energy suddenly came from his ears, which startled Kitahara Kong and almost made him jump up.

"I will work harder!"

"Hey!"

Komuro Takashi sat up in shock, staring at the big guy beside him with slight anger and helplessness, "Don't get so excited all of a sudden! You guy!"

"Uh... hey, hey." The big guy with his fist raised shook his head awkwardly and said with a silly smile: "I'm sorry."

"Maybe I ate too much." Kitahara Sora stood up and complained helplessly.

When they were in Silent Hill, Zhuangzhong took out at least a dozen dishes from the ring, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, almost like a banquet.

When everyone was eating, Takeo Gouda was also eating. When Sora Kitahara was drinking, he was eating. When Yukino and the others had finished eating, he was still eating. When he finished drinking and was ready to eat, he was still drinking. The serving chopsticks were always in his hands the longest!

The big guy finished almost half of the dishes on the table by himself, which was not a big deal, because compared with the rice, he ate less of those dishes.

Zhuangzhong took out two rice cookers from the ring, and this guy finished a whole pot by himself!

Almost every minute or so, you can hear this guy stretching his neck and yelling, "Another bowl, Arigato!" Then, Kato Megumi, who had just sat down and whose butt was not even warm yet, took the bowl and silently stood up to get the rice.

Later, this guy felt embarrassed and stopped bothering others. After eating, he got up without saying a word and walked over there.

Finally, the stunned Zhuangzhong moved the rice cooker directly to Gotian Takeo, and patted his shoulder with a complicated look.

Komuro Takaya recalled the scene not long ago, and looked at Takeo Goda with admiration and fear in his eyes.

"Come to think of it, Mengnan, do you eat so much at home?" He asked doubtfully, "Your family must be very rich."

Komuro Takashi's doubts stunned Goda Takeo. It was indeed wrong for him to disturb the captain and Takashi, but why did he raise such a question?

"My family runs an izakaya. Is there any problem?" After answering Komuro Takashi's question, the confused male student suddenly seemed to have thought of something and became excited. "By the way, Captain, Takashi, do you want to come to my house? My father's cooking is definitely the most delicious food in the world. I'll treat everyone to a meal!"

"Opening an izakaya? Your father's business must be very good..."

"Business?" Seeing that Komuro Takashi and Kitahara Sora did not immediately accept the invitation, but asked another question, the thick-skinned Goda Takeo still answered patiently, with a hint of admiration in his tone: "The restaurant is full of customers every day! If you go, I will apply to my father two days in advance."

"So that's how it is. Your family is indeed very rich." Komuro Takashi nodded seriously.

"Xiao, are you short of money now?" Gangtian Takeo showed an embarrassment, "I don't have much pocket money every month, but I can still lend it to you."

Komuro Takashi's face fell, and he looked like he had a headache and didn't know how to answer. "Am I short of money? In my world, money has become waste paper. Supplies and food are the most precious things. If you are really short of money, the minimum amount of points here can be exchanged for the highest purity gold bars, as well as non-consecutive banknotes from various countries."

Why would you think in that direction? Has your IQ been replaced by muscles?

"Cough, cough."

Kitahara Sora couldn't help but cough, and his facial muscles twitched slightly.

"What on earth do you mean? Xiao, Captain, I don't understand."

Even though Goda Takeo was a bit stubborn, he could see that something was wrong with the two people's expressions. He said a little embarrassedly, "I have never been very smart since I was a child. It is because of Makoto that I am not disliked by everyone. Whenever I don't understand something, Makoto will explain it very clearly until I understand it."

He stared at the captain and his second friend with his big copper bell eyes, and said very seriously: "So if I made any mistakes, please tell me directly, because only if you tell me directly, I will understand, just like the captain assigns me a task."

As he was speaking, he thought of the imposing oath he had just taken, and suddenly sat up straight, then bowed to Kitahara Sora and Komuro Kotochi as if they were sitting down.

"I want to live. If I die, Makoto will be sad and Rinko will cry for a long time, so please!"

"Takeshi, what are you doing all of a sudden? Get up quickly, that's not what I meant!" Komuro Takashi looked embarrassed and reached out his hand in a panic to help Takeshi up.

He was just trying to make a joke, but this straightforward guy suddenly thought of something and asked so seriously.

But Komuro Takashi's actions seemed to make this guy get stuck in a rut. He rested his forehead on the grass and did not move no matter how hard Komuro Takashi tried.

His unusual behavior even attracted the attention of Yukino and the other two.

Kitahara Sora shook his head slightly at Yukino, and the other party in the distance also nodded in understanding and continued to explain the basic rules to the two newcomers.

"Get up first, tough guy, are you an idiot?" Komuro Takashi pulled his arm desperately, his face angry and a little regretful in his heart.

You shouldn't joke with this guy, because if he understands what you're doing, he'll just smile foolishly and won't get angry, because he knows his friends will never really hate him anyway.

But if he doesn't understand, he will ask questions or think too much. It's not that he can't take a joke, but he is afraid of accidentally making his friends angry. If his friends are angry because of him, he must apologize sincerely.

In order not to make everyone angry, we took precautions in advance.

Kitahara Sora sighed helplessly and reached out to help Gouda Takeo up. Strangely, he didn't have to use much force and the big man stood up, staring at him with extremely enthusiastic eyes.

To be honest, this look makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Why is he unmoved by Komuro Takashi's advice, but he raised his head just when I raised my hand?

Because Gouda Takeo treats Komuro Takashi as a friend, he can be willful to his friends. Kitahara Sora is his captain and his superior, and although he trusts him, the big guy is afraid of him in his heart.

"Big guy, I heard from Hui that you almost died for everyone before?"

"Dead?" Gotada Takeo looked reminiscent, and after a while he suddenly said, "It was that incident. I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that the power of the archangel crashing down from the sky would be very large, so I blocked it in front of everyone."

"Is that so?" Beiyuan Kong reached out and patted the big man's shoulder vigorously. Suddenly his face turned cold and his tone was extremely serious. He shouted sternly: "Tell the truth!"

This sudden change of expression not only made Komuro Takashi stunned, but the big guy almost shouted out unconsciously: "Ah, yes!"

This response was an instinctive reaction. As the ace of the judo club, he was accustomed to strictness. Normally, the coach's tone was much more fierce than Kitahara Sora's, because as long as someone did not meet the requirements in terms of momentum, the coach would curse at him.

But after he finished shouting, his momentum collapsed, and his body even trembled slightly...

He lowered his head and stammered for a long time before a dull voice came out: "I...I..."

Then he turned his eyes for help to his second best friend, but the other party sighed silently and ignored him.

It was not until he had no other choice that the big guy reached into his pocket, pulled out a booklet, and handed it to Kitahara Sora.

After taking the book and opening it, Beiyuan Kong quickly scanned it, but after just two glances, he tore the book in half with a "rip" sound and threw it to the ground.

Yukino's eyes swept over again, this time just a slight glance, and then turned her head back.

"Who told you to look at this thing?" Pointing at the booklet on the ground, Beiyuan Kong asked weakly.

"I... didn't understand, and I didn't want to cause trouble for the captain, so I tried to find a solution myself."

"I told you not to believe this middle school thing! The captain will be angry." Komuro Takashi held his forehead helplessly.

The tough guy exchanged this 'Warrior's Code' for one point, because the matched profession was a warrior, but he didn't understand what the warriors of Azeroth were at all, so he exchanged for this thing.

The world of Azeroth is a world created by observers based on the background view of the game, so the beliefs of the characters in it are all based on that game. Therefore, in addition to introducing the basic information about the warrior profession, this booklet also records the beliefs and spiritual thoughts about this profession.

There are even creeds and codes made up by gamers, such as the very chuunibyou:

'Heaven to the left, warrior to the right';

'After the charge comes immortality';

"The sword points to the enemy, the shield protects friends, if you want to hurt my teammates, just step over my dead body", and other cool lines.

When playing games in the past, Kitahara Sora was moved to the point of blood boiling by lines like these, but those were stories from more than ten years ago when he was still a teenager. Only at that passionate, fearless age would he be moved by such childish lines.

Takeo Goda lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for the scolding from his elders.

Beiyuan Kong stared at him intently, and after a long time he sighed weakly, feeling amused, angry, and a little touched.

"Strong man."

"Yes!" The voice was as loud as a bell, and the response was still as powerful as ever.

"Thank you."

“You’re welcome… huh?”

Looking at the confused big guy, Beiyuan smacked his lower lip, and the words he wanted to say came to his lips but he couldn't say them.

After a long pause, he continued, "In the future, I hope you will not only regard me as your captain, but also as your friend."

"Friend?" Takeo Gouda asked in surprise.

"Yes, friends, just like Xiao, just like Cheng."

He split his sausage-like lips, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and a silly smile appeared.
