Chapter 576: Every Building and Old Man Has Its Historical Background

「...I'll pretend I didn't hear that just now.」 Elizabeth silently turned around, raising a signboard slowly. 「Renpou regulations state that an immediate purge will follow if any hint of rebellion is shown.」

「Shut up, I won't remind you again.」

Watching Elizabeth retract the signboard and walk away with a slightly sad silhouette, Katsura spoke calmly: "If the general shows any intention of rebellion, it would incite everyone to rebel. In that case, everyone would be purged, right?"

Elizabeth stopped again, without turning around, slowly pulling out another signboard.

「I learned many things on Earth...」

「Things that this cold star doesn't have...」

「...Many warm things.」

「I learned them after fighting together.」

「From the back of that person.」

「So, I don't regret it...」

「I have something I must protect.」

「Even if it means destroying Earth...」

「Even if it means fighting that person...」

「A person who protects their friend's back is called a friend.」

「Yes, that's what that person... Earth's friend taught me.」

Raising the last signboard, Elizabeth looked back at Katsura, then turned and ran off swiftly with duck-like strides.

Watching Elizabeth disappear into the distance, Katsura Elizabeth opened her mouth, revealing Katsura's face full of unresolved emotions.

"Eli... Elizabeth..."

Seeing Katsura's expression, Kawaki rubbed his eyes and yawned. Then, he tried to scratch his head but couldn't reach it due to the suit, so he gave up.

At this awkward moment, an urgent alarm sounded over their heads!

Immediately, all the Renpou soldiers playing UNO stopped and looked up.

A black virtual screen appeared above them.

[Deployment order! Full assault on Earth in one hour! All units are prepared immediately!]

Seeing the deployment order, all the Renpou soldiers dropped their UNO cards, stood up, and hurriedly ran towards the armory's exit with duck-like steps.

"It's... it's a deployment order, aru!" Kagura's expression grew slightly tense.
