I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 72
“Second Lieutenant Keiko and I have something to talk about in private.”
“Yes, Major,” the driver replied, and the electric separator between the driver’s seat, the co-pilot, and the rear seats was closed.
“Turn around,” Jeanne turned her head and said to Keiko commandingly.
“Ah?” Keiko didn’t understand why.
“I said, turn around.”
“Oh,” Keiko said as she turned around, and Jeanne suddenly grabbed her back, pulled down her collar, and examined the back of her neck.
“Uh, Major…” Keiko cried out.
“Good, the wound healed quickly,” Jeanne said, sounding satisfied.
“Thank you, I’ve troubled you, Major Jeanne,” Keiko said politely.
Who knew Jeanne wouldn’t follow the usual script and instead shamelessly said, “Well…you really make me worry a lot. Second Lieutenant Lee, you really don’t remember anything?”
Keiko was a little embarrassed. What should she remember? Could it be that she unconsciously did something to offend the eldest lady during the five days she was in a coma?
Jeanne stretched out her hand and opened her lower lip to show Keiko, and Keiko saw a deep wound, as if it had been bitten out.
“This…” Keiko stared at Jeanne blankly; her silly expression was inexplicably cute.
“Second Lieutenant Lee, people are kind enough to see you. You said that you were poisoned by kudzu and had hallucinations. It doesn’t matter, but don’t admit the wrong person, and then hug and kiss them wildly. This kiss is also kissed. Why are you still What about biting? How painful,” Jeanne said it deliberately in a aggrived tone.
“I, I, I…” Keiko’s face flushed red. Did she really kiss Jeanne and bite her?
“You you you…” Jeanne raised her beautiful eyes and looked at her without a smile in her eyes, “You tell me what to do, Lieutenant Lee.”
“Y-yes… I’m sorry… it’s… it’s really not my intention…” Keiko stammered.
She didn’t have any memory of being unconcious for five days. At least she remembered that she seemed to dream about Yaya, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, and she seemed to have done something unspeakable together with her.
She thought it was just a spring dream. How could she know that she was actually… God! What had she done?
“Oh, an apology is useful, so what else are the military and police to do?” Jeanne raised her eyebrows.
“Then… I don’t know what to do either, or you could tell me what to do,” Keiko replied helplessly.
“Second Lieutenant Lee, you really have no sincerity at all,” Jeanne teased her.
“I…really…I’m really sorry, I promise to do everything you say,” Keiko was embarrassed and remorseful, so he could only say that.
“Everything?” A strange light glimmered in Jeanne’s eyes before quickly dissapearing like it was never there before. Then she smiled and said, “Then when we get back to the base, you have to accompany me on a date for a day. You have to pay for what I buy and eat.”
Keiko’s expression was a little subtle, but then he became serious and replied, “Well, I promise you.”
Inside, the atmosphere in the car suddenly turned quiet. Keiko looked out of the car window, seemingly calm on the surface, but actually struggling fiercely inside.
The moment Jeanne proposed a date, she had confirmed that Jeanne liked her, no, it should be said that she liked the former Keiko. No matter how slow she was, with how persistent Jeanne was, she couldn’t fool herself and act as if she saw nothing.
Ambiguity and feelings are not what she wanted.
She had not been in this world for a long time and had not yet established a firm foothold.
Jeanne’s personality was cunning and unpredictable. It was not clear whether she was an enemy or a friend.
Keiko had experienced Jeanne’s cunning and ruthless means many times, which didn’t give her the best impression of this lady and somehow left a psychological shadow in her heart.
No matter how well the major had treated her, she couldn’t bring herself to trust Jeanne completely. Also, she couldn’t confirm whether the eldest lady’s feelings for her were just her fooling around or serious.
Or, the eldest lady was only interested in her existence, without involving any feelings whatsoever. She would have no qualms about ending their relationship once she stopped being interested in her.
Keiko always had a notion that a person with a character like Jeanne would always put reason above emotion. If there was a conflict between them in the future, she believed that Jeanne would never act sentimentally.
And there was indeed a hidden danger between them.
Even now, Keiko still didn’t know what plan the original owner had with General Armstrong. From the perspective that they have been hiding this matter from Jeanne, meaning that this was something that Jeanne shouldn’t have involved herself in, then they are likely to have a conflict of interest in the future. She didn’t want to taste the feeling of being betrayed or opposed by her girlfriend.
The most important point was that she was not the original owner, Keiko Lee. She didn’t know anything about many things that she should have known, and she had no way to find out about them.
This huge hidden danger was like an invincible blade that was hanging above her head, making her feel ill at ease and always on guard.
What about falling in love with the eldest lady who knew Keiko’s past? That’s simply digging a hole for yourself to jump into.
Although she felt physical attraction to her, she didn’t think that she liked the eldest lady romantically, and perhaps the original owner didn’t feel about her in that way either.
She knew that, deep in her heart, she was really afraid of this woman, and she was always on guard when she was around. There was no way a relationship based on fear could last long or be rewarded with a happy ending.
The reason why she agreed to go on a date with Jeanne was that she really owed the eldest a lot of favours, and she had to pay it back. This was her principle in life; otherwise, she couldn’t live her life with a clear conscience.
Keiko decided that after the date, she would draw a clear line with the eldest lady. Even if it seemed cruel, it was something that had to be done, or she would dig her own grave.
“Major, we are about to enter the city.” The driver’s voice came from the loudspeaker on the separator.
“Okay,” Jeanne responded lightly.
Through the car window, Keiko could see that the car had driven into the shadow of the 100-meter city wall. The road into the city was lined with tall grass, which blocked the view and buried the car.
Outside the gate of the city wall was a meadow about the size of a football field, and beyond the meadow was a vast forest. This exit in the Trudheim faced the forest directly, so it was also the most dangerous opening. Every time you open the city gate, you need to be vigilant.
At this moment, 90% of the main force has entered the city, and there are only four armored vehicles left behind, a cargo vehicle, a medical vehicle, and Jeanne’s jeep that was in the rear.
Originally, they thought that they would return to the city safe and sound, but no one thought that the accident would happen at this time.. Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped into the grass and rushed towards the jeep where Jeanne and the others were.
