This……
Looking at the young man who bowed to the ground, knocked his head on the backrest, almost leaving blood, Chiba's eyes widened slightly, and his face was astonished as hard to hide.
Nao, who was on the side, also lost her voice in surprise. She opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. She didn't see the situation of the young man now, but she heard the sound of apology and the sound of flesh hitting the backrest. She could imagine it without looking When what happened, it was obvious that the visitor was apologizing to Chiba.
At the same time, Xuena's eyes widened, looking at the situation where the adult bowed and apologized to the child in front of her, she was shocked to speak.
The act of apologizing came too suddenly, and they all couldn't react to it, and at the same time, they didn't know why.
What is it, let this person apologize to Chiba like this.
In the world of Hokage, such a ninety-degree bow and apology is already a very high standard of apology, and above it, there is only one kneeling to apologize.
And the young man closed his eyes tightly, his face was not knowing whether it was because of anxiety or pain. He looked a little stiff throughout his body, but it could be seen that this was a very sincere apology.
Moreover, the young man also knows what kind of mistake he has made, knows where he is wrong, and sincerely asks the other party, that is, Chiba's forgiveness.
However, apparently this apology was sudden and unexpected, and the three of Chiba were stunned.
After this sudden apology, the atmosphere returned to silence again.
The young man has been maintaining this posture, but as time goes by, his body has become more and more stiff, and gradually a faint bead of sweat has surfaced on his forehead.
"Please raise your head, Captain Watanabe."
Seeing the appearance of the young man, Chiba's face was complicated, but he still spoke calmly, making him raise his head.
Captain Watanabe?
This sound also pulled Xuena and Nao back from surprise.
Turns out to be a figure of the rank of troop leader? Such a character actually apologized to Chiba? Why is that?
In the next second, a greater surprise appeared on their faces.
And who is this Watanabe leader?
Is it related to Dr. Watanabe?
Next, there is a series of questions.
Hearing Chiba's words, the young man's slightly stiff body condensed, but he didn't straighten up immediately. He seemed to hesitate for a while before he straightened up slowly, with a sad look on his face.
He knew that the other party didn't forgive himself. This sentence was actually just a soft-hearted polite remark that he couldn't stand.
I have not been forgiven by the other party.
During this period of time, two years, maybe three years, the front-line warfare has made him a little fuzzy on the concept of time. Battle reports, strategic meetings, battles...every day is occupied by these. When he returns to the camp , Or when he was able to return to the camp, he almost always fell asleep, the concept of time has been blurred, and some are only the concept of mission time and mission interval.
However, in this hellish front-line day, there is one thing that he always remembers and remembers it every day.
That is, before he came to the front line, on that defense mission, his decision was wrong, which killed many robes and killed three children innocently.
Everything is because of his arrogance and recklessness.
In the past few years, he has been living in guilt and regret all the time, even the frequent wars and countless surviving deaths cannot be erased.
Finally, in a nearly fatal injury, he finally knew that he had to apologize to those who cared about the sacrificed teammates and children.
Because this was the most difficult thing to do before he died.
He knew for the first time that it was so heavy and hard to let go of carrying someone else's life.
That is to say, this heavy and hard to let go of, wiped out his self-righteousness and reckless conceit that had been planted in his heart before this defense mission.
Really grew.
Then, just a few days ago, he received an order to return to that position again, but the first thing he thought about was not the joy of being promoted, but an apology.
He must apologize well, must be forgiven by those people, and must be responsible for the mistakes he made before.
Therefore, on the first day of his return, after the report, he went to apologize one by one. He originally thought that he would definitely be blamed by those people, those who lost important people, and he was ready to endure everything and bear what he should bear. infamy.
but none.
Not at all...
He was forgiven.
Some were emotional, some were silent, some were weeping, but he was not scolded, and he was not blamed.
They, those who lost important people, eventually forgave him.
Even the family of those three children...
At that moment, the regret and ashamed in his heart deepened, and he felt even more insignificant and how serious his mistakes were at that time.
He felt that the weight of life on his shoulders seemed to be much heavier.
Therefore, he finally plucked up the courage to face a person whom he has felt ashamed and unable to face in the past few years. He is also a person who has lost his "important person", and even more so because of prejudice he once despised or even slandered. People.
One, a ten-year-old child.
"I……"
Kenshin Watanabe took a slight breath, his body was completely straight, but his head was slightly lowered.
"There are some things that I cannot forgive you, but this is not entirely your fault."
Seeing the scar on Watanabe Kenshin's face extending from the left cheek to the bridge of the nose and the scars from the right forehead to the left forehead, Chiba pursed his lips, and the stiffness on his face finally eased a bit. Watanabe Kenshin felt sad. But with his firm face and the courageous look in his eyes that faced the error, he ultimately did not blame, but he did not choose to forgive.
Perhaps, emotionally, he would never be able to make Watanabe Kenshin's mistake, but rationally, he knew it was not entirely Watanabe Kenshin's mistake.
Therefore, he does not forgive and cannot blame.
Therefore, he interrupted Watanabe Kenshin's words of repentance and his intention to leave after saying these repentances.
"Let's talk about it, as long as it is for the safety of the village, anything is fine."
Therefore, he spoke like this again.
"So ~www.novelhall.com~ don't use such a penitent posture to discuss with me on the issue of the village."
Chiba...
As soon as he said this, Watanabe Kenshin's body almost shook, his head suddenly lifted, his eyes widened unimaginably, and he was extremely surprised. Obviously, he did not expect Chiba to say that.
"So sit down, tell me what's the matter."
Chiba took a slight breath and pushed aside the chair in front of him, which was the chair with Watanabe Kenshin's forehead knocked, and sat down.
He could see that in addition to apologizing, Watanabe Kenshin had more important things to look for. According to the current situation, Watanabe Kenshin was more important than an apology, of course, it was the defense of the village, which was annihilation. The problem of the plan.
If he was just apologizing, he would not hesitate so long and would not hesitate to apologize for so long.
"Don't look at me like this, I, like you, don't want to make mistakes and lose anyone again."
Chiba looked at Watanabe Kenshin and said without any doubt.
