It was unexpectedly early when night fell, and under the starry sky, the flames of the bonfire were red.

"Shaohui, can you really be sure of someone? It's so late, it's probably not easy to find one." Yufei sighed. Nie Shaohui frowned, "No sure, maybe I heard it wrong, but this island is not big, so you should be able to meet the other three."

"Guru~~" Youfei saw that his face was red and red, and a sound that surprised Nie Shaohui came from her belly, "Well, sorry, I forgot, you haven't eaten yet, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Whatever, but Shaohui, don't you feel hungry?" Yufei asked a little embarrassedly. Nie Shaohui shook his head with a smile. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Yufei's hungry stomach, Nie Shaohui wouldn't notice it at all. For him who broke through to the innate world, it would have nothing to do if he didn't eat for a day or two.

Nie Shaohui waved his hand and took out some simple tools from the small world, all of which were needed in the kitchen. Yufei looked at this scene and his eyes widened. Although he knew that Nie Shaohui was very magical and curious, he didn't expect that he was so powerful? But where did these things come from? Yufei had too many questions in his heart.

Seeing him skillfully cooking, Yufei was a little stunned. Yufei still had a certain understanding of the Federation of China. It seemed that the Federation of China has always paid attention to the so-called "gentleman stays away from the kitchen". These things have always been done by women. Few men do such things, which made her feel that it was an alternative. When Euphemia was in a daze, Nie Shaohui prepared two bowls of noodles.

"Come on, fresh seafood noodles, flour is ready, there are a lot of seafood nearby, so I'll just go there today." Looking at the steaming noodles, Yufei's heart trembled. She remembered that this feeling seemed to have only been experienced by her sister. Others always thought that she was just a vase that could not do anything, and now she met another one...

"Yeah?" Nie Shaohui looked at Euphemia with some confusion, "What's wrong? Euphemhe?"

"Ah? Nothing!" After saying that, he hurriedly took the noodles, picked them up and put them in his mouth, "Oh, hot~~"

"Haha, it's just out of the pot, be careful."

——Sister, Shaohui, and Zhuque, only you three will not look at me with discriminatory eyes.

Looking at Nie Shaohui who was still busy, he was as smart, so knowledgeable, so confident, so gentle as before. He also made people feel reliable and safe... All of this made Euphemia feel extremely precious...

Under the same starry sky, the flames of the bonfire reflected red.

On the bonfire, several strings of cut branches were equipped with grilled fish at the front end. Of course, this was something that Suzaku caught from the river and the sea during the day. And it was not just a simple barbecue, he also took out his internal organs and soaked them in sea water to add a unique flavor. By the way, it was Karen's knife who handled the food. Although this man used simple processing skills to catch fish without props or later processing can be regarded as a perfect example of survival skills in the wild, but Karen always complained too much about a person who tied himself up and lying comfortably there.

"Didn't there be anything like soy sauce?" He agreed with him that he had to let go of himself at least during meal time and said, holding the grilled fish in one hand. Suzaku couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Although I don't think this is your truth...but to put it, this is a very authentic Japanese way of eating."

"Hmph, it's a coincidence. Although I have half the British blood, I grew up with Japanese education. Of course, it must be soy sauce with grilled fish and grilled seafood."

"But the school usually comes with olive oil."

"Come on, it should have stopped long ago."

However, it is impossible to ask for seasonings now. Karen gnawed the grilled fish in a completely different posture than the poor daughter-in-law she was at school. A hint of awe at the deliciousness of the fish flashed in her eyes, but after seeing Suzaku staring at her, Karen frowned immediately, "There are too many bones. Since all the internal organs are cleaned, you should remove the bones together."

Suzaku sighed, "You are not good at cooking at all, Karen. At least from what you said, I don't think you are good at cooking."

"Noisy, it's so noisy! - That's it. How can you only have fish and shellfish in a meal? How can you maintain a balanced nutrition by consuming only animal protein!"

"If it weren't for this occasion, I thought I could satisfy you. But now I don't have the energy to pick wild vegetables or fruits." Of course, he didn't know that at another place on the same island at the same time, Yufei and Nie Shaohui were enjoying delicious pasta.

"There is no time today. But tomorrow I want to go deeper into the island and find something to eat."

"Haha, you really have time. Maybe you will become a prisoner tomorrow."

"It's a pity that you are the captive now."

"Ah~ I'm so annoying! You guy is as good as a cat at school. I didn't expect you to be such an annoying guy."

"You speak more like yourself." Although he was busy with bickering, Karen continued to eat what he was in his hands. The same was true for Suzaku. Soon after, the prepared food was put into the stomach bags of the two of them. The two who would not lose their appetite under any circumstances proved their tenacious vitality. However, it can also be considered that this was just because they were young.

He tied the loose Kalian's hands again on the belt, and Suzaku returned to the other side of the fire to sit down. Kalian exhaled heavily, "I'm full, but I seem to eat too much." Suzaku also felt a little strange, "You really have a completely different attitude from when you were in school. Is it because of the different occasions?"

"Yes, are you unhappy?" Kalian glanced at Suzaku. The boy shook his head.

"No. I think you are more attractive now, who is vivid now." In an instant, Kalian's mouth opened into an O-shaped shape. But then the girl turned her gaze and muttered a little unhappy, "...The introduction is withdrawn. In short, just like the president said, you are not so annoying. Maybe this is your nature. But if you are deliberately doing it, it will be different."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing. It's best if you don't understand it in your whole life." After saying that, Kalian fell into silence and looked quietly into the distance. After noticing that Suzaku looked at him in surprise, he immediately adjusted his expression.

In the darkness, only the bonfire was beating slightly. After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Suzaku stared at Kalian seriously again, "Kalian."

"What?"

"If you want to ask me to repay your supper... leave the Knights. It's still time."

Kalian's face changed instantly. In the flames, her eyes were instantly stained with the light of a carnivorous. With a strong murderous aura, she looked directly at Suzaku.

"Ha, it really makes people feel warm. Is this your truth? I want to save your classmate? It's a coincidence. I am the captain of Zero's personal guard. I have also fought with you in a mecha, whether in Narita or in Nagata."

"!?...No, you're the red one..."

"That's right. You see clearly. Although I've failed, one day I'll cut off your head."

Zhuque closed his eyes. He shook his head gently, and then quietly spoke, "Your approach is no future."

"...Is that so? What about your future? It's just a living dog under the control of others! Honorary Britons? The Knight of the Third Princess? Haha, it's so funny. Who did you inherit these titles from?!"

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shumu Xuanwu was rated as the last samurai and traitor slave in the seven years after the war. But what Karen refers to was of course his previous name.

"I am different from you! I am proud of being a Japanese rather than a British! And I fight for the same purpose with the people who are most important to me! In order to change this wrong world, to realize our dreams, and to win, we will do whatever we can!"

Zhuque knew that this was also a belief. He could also imagine what she was fighting for. Family members - I'm afraid that was her reason. But while understanding all this, something cold was throbbing in his chest.

Fight for the dreams of important people...

Zhuque opened his eyes again. He looked at his hands. These hands reflected by the flames, blood-like color. No, that's right. This used to kill his father's hands for the important people, for the dreams of the brother and sister, and for the family. In fact, he did not do this for the brother and sister. This sin should not be pushed to them.

However, that was just his unilateral relationship with them. In order to rescue himself from this relationship, to get rid of that relationship, he dyed his hands red with his father's blood-

Suzaku slowly raised his head, "Kalian-I, kill my father. I personally..."

"!?" So, I have no qualifications to inherit this name at all.

Nor allowed to inherit—

"Of course, I was not discouraged at this." Facing the silent Kalian, Suzaku said lightly.

"But I'm also very clear about the consequences of wrong practices..."

The emptiness and regret of no place to live. In his heart, he roared desperately at the face of himself who had no other way and his bloody father. He obeyed his feelings, and in order to rescue himself from this feelings, he pulled out the knife. This is the result. The knife will only respond to the correct user's correct use method. If it is used by someone who should not hold it, it will tear the person's heart apart. As long as this person still feels guilty for taking other people's lives, it will never tell you what "correctness" is, and how to "prove it". You can only endure the pain of being backwards by it forever.

But even so, if you have to wield the knife that was wrongly pulled out of the sheath--

"I'm not trying to completely deny your opinion...I don't have this right. I know very well that many people are suffering because of the current British government."

And I'm afraid the person who became his lord before also knew this very well.

"But because of this, I cannot agree with you - Zero's approach. His approach will eventually lead to 'sacrificial'. This is no different from my father... No, not just that. It is probably not different from me before. I just want to achieve my goal and forget what I lost during the period."

The moment he heard Zero's name, Karen, who was in a daze, finally came to his senses.

"In other words, do you want us to stop? Because we hate sacrifice and fear death, we must bow down to Britain? There are more and more important things than life!"

"Maybe there are. But because of this, I say so. Your actions will cause you to lose more than life, but there must be something else. I will never think this is correct."

Karen couldn't agree. However, she couldn't argue directly. So she lay down in the posture of her hands tied up. But Suzaku murmured alone as if she didn't see it.

"If this is the case... then tell me, what if my brother was still alive?"

Suzaku was stunned.

"No one can assert that something is really correct. There are things that are lost? And at the same time there will be things that are left behind. I will never...abandon them..."

The girl's words were like a sharp sword piercing into Suzaku's chest.

This time it was Zhuque's turn to be speechless.
