AST
54 . IF I WERE YOU
Adnan held out one hand, approaching Hubert's face. However, the man clasped his hand and shook his head. Highlight the eyes that Adnan had never found from a notorious commander. It was as if the man had kept many secrets and burdens at once all this time without Adnan knowing.
“They'll be here any minute,” hiss Hubert. He switched, sitting leaning against the wall while grimacing
endure pain. The man looked at the young man who was still kneeling in front of him.
“Tell me, what should I know,” said the young man.
Adnan's blue eyes expressed seriousness. Make Hubert gulp down the saliva. The man sighed, turned his face in one direction, then looked back at Adnan.
“I don't want you to trust me because what you're going to hear from me is going to be the opposite of what you've been getting all this time.”. “Kids like you ... shouldn't you guys be here now.”
“Why?” adnan asked in the same position. “Why didn't you cause that
happened? Then who? Who did it?”
Hubert smiled. Really smiling, not grinning and Adnan knew that this expression was never
shown by the man.
“Sarkan,” Hubert said, making the forehead of the young man in front of him completely wrinkled. “She keeps a lot of things that no one ever knows.”
Liur Adnan swallowed perfectly. Still in his mind fighting with the monsters, he waited again
the man spoke.
“I, your father, the girl's father. We were friends for a long time. I know your father's greatest wish long ago,”
Hubert. “Your father made Sarkan and Paladin, not to be played like this. Your father was very sincere, finishing those two Clibanarii for many to learn. So that the technology can be used to help rebuild the Earth. To fix the Earth. Not to ruin.
“But darling, there are many parties trying to bring him down. Many people also dislike our relationship and try to separate us in various ways. They take advantage of children who have no parents to be educated, and brainwashed, to be willing to side with them. Erick and you are two of those they managed to recruit.”
“What do you mean .. Cosmo ..” Adnan hung up his words, hesitating with his heart. “What do you mean Cosmo is not the torus we've been thinking about?”
Hubert was silent with his eyes staring into Adnan's blue eyes. “Cosmo is a form of peace, indeed. But no longer since many traitors are working just to fulfill their ambitions,” he replied. “Cosmo will collapse, sooner or later.”
Adnan breathed a moment. The neurons in his brain are working too hard and fast at the moment, while the
monster tried to judge him so he wouldn't believe the words Hubert had told him. However, something seemed to make him flinch.
“Can I ask you something?”
The brown-haired man nodded faintly.
“If Paladin can only be controlled by Yusagi Richard and his daughter, it should only be controlled by Father and me. Butwhy? Why you ...”
The two pairs of different-colored eyes sat against each other for a few seconds.
“I,” said Hubert then pointed his index finger at Adnan. “Your father,” continued, “and the girl's father.”
In this second, Adnan was quite taken aback. It has never been heard from anyone. About why the man could control Sarkan five years ago. Oscar and Morgan, who were more than a month or so long known, never told me about this information. They seem to be figuring it out, though ….
“So, during this ...” Adnan was stunned, hesitating in attachment to his vocal cords.
Hubert nodded slowly. “Me and Richard are destined to be the first controllers of both.
Your own father wanted it.”
“But, why …. Wh why? Then, then who? Who killed my father? Why did you kill Adara's father?” The 17-year-old was curious.
Hubert. His eyes half bowed. Until finally, the young man held his shoulder.
“Hubert, tell me!”
The man sighed. “I have no other choice,” he said weakly. “I was forced to do it.”
“Hah?”
“Your friend is alive,” said the man. “You just calm down.”
A smile was re-engraved at the corner of Hubert's lips. His hand grabbed Adnan's arm, then
patting slowly.
“If I were you, I would find that girl,” he said. “I'll take him running, anywhere. It was better than me and he had to die at the hands of the person I already considered a friend during—”
DORR!
The red liquid splashed perfectly, splashing on the black-haired young man's face. Blue net is blocking. His body was stiff for a moment.
Meanwhile, the body of the man sitting in front of Adnan was staggered, then sprawled right in front of the young man
those. Blood flowed from his head that was pierced by bullets, before finally inundating around.
In silence, Adnan turned his head towards the shooter. The man who had helped her stood not far away from her
with one hand held. The end of the revolver he held looked thin smoky. The owner of the same eye color, which has been considered by Adnan as ….
The man lowered his hand slowly. Some people seemed to be walking over.
“Bring him to cell.”
“T-wait!”
Adnan had not had time to talk, some people blocked both hands that were pressed back. That young man
forced to rise and be taken away. He saw Hubert's body rolled helplessly. Eyes closed.
“Dispose of the body,” said the shooter. “Do not till anyone kisses his trail anywhere.”
just seen. However, the man. Yeah, right, that guy. Why could? Why could the man do something Adnan never even thought of himself.
Adnan rebelled with a grimace. However, what power, check the soldiers on his current movements
it makes it more locked. His mind growled, before finally the young man shouted;
“OSCAR!!”

The sound of debum unraveled Adara's daydream in an instant. Smoke billowed high from one side of the base. Girl
the one who was originally sitting leaning against the guardrail stood up for a while.
“What is it?” muttered.
Adara turned around and ran out of her unit. However, the mother who had just arrived outside the unit then held back her movements.
“Mother, what's up?” ask the black haired girl.
Naomi looked worried. He looked in one direction for a few seconds, then pulled his only daughter quickly
and take it to the CB-222. Adara who was so inocene even tried to read the mind of the mother. However, the woman as before, was not good at guessing even by her own child.
Naomi hastily locked the door of the room CB-222. His breath was hunting.
“Mother,” call Adara. The woman in front of him looked at him with an inexplicable look on her face. “What
happened?”
Saliva Naomi swallowed for a moment. “They surrounded us,” he said.
“Hah? Who?”
Naomi clasped Adara's arms tightly, looking through the girl's entire body. He sighed
breathing many times, trying to regulate the emotions that were about to explode within him.
The loud sounds again control hearing. It sounded loud and shook the floor of the room. Wall CB-222
looks vibrate a little. Adara looked back at the mother who seemed to want to say something to her.
“I'm sorry, Richard,” I'm sorry Naomi. Both of his hands were trembling. “I'm sorry.”
Adara then gripped both hands of the mother. “Mother, explain it to me. What happened?” his bur. “What sound
that?”
Naomi lifted her eyes. “There will be a time when we fall into a trap, so ...”
“So?”
Their eyes are facing each other. Meanwhile, the noisy voices outside sounded closer and closer.
“You must remember Mother's words,” said Naomi then gently rubbed her daughter's cheeks. “Sometimes,
what we think is right is not entirely right, and what we think is wrong is not entirely wrong. Friends become opponents and opponents become friends.”
Adara's forehead is wrinkled. His mind was trying to interpret every utterance of the woman before him. That woman
back pulling his arm closer to a large robot that was still unmoved.
“Go and bring Paladin,” the door later.
“A-what does Mother mean? I don't get it!” the black haired girl.
Thin smoke shot out from the second puff of breath and billowed through the air. Silence lasts for a few seconds, though,
along with the bang out there.
“They're after you,” said Naomi.
“Then, how about Mom?” ask Adara. “If I go, will many know that I go—”
Adara. Recalls the people he met after he tried to arrest Jason
back to the battlefield. They asked him to stay in the unit. Maybe it was planned in advance? Was there something that the girl had not understood all along?
“Mother ...”
The short-haired woman nodded. She immediately hugged her only daughter. Closely. Swiped
adara's back many times.
“Paladin can handle it,” whispered Naomi.
Adara let go of the woman's embrace. “Then what about Mom?” tanyakanya.
“If possible, we will meet again later,” replied Naomi.
The 17-year-old girl fell silent, fighting with her own thoughts. Of course, if he were to come out with the Paladin now, there would definitely be many who knew and chased after him. But where should he go? She herself? Is that true?
“What about Jun, Jo's sister? His brother is in the front row at the moment,” he said later.
“He is fine. Trust in Mother.”
