Even though they had finished dinner, Darlene, Yara, and Lina were still sitting at the dining table chatting unselfishly.

They chatted until late at night, when the moon was already high in the sky. Only then did the three of them realize that they had been chatting for a long time and it was time to go to bed.

The mansion where Lina and Yara live is located in the center of the manor. It is a three-story luxury mansion with countless vacant rooms.

Lena and Yara worked together to clean one of the spare rooms adjacent to theirs so Darlene could move in.

By the time Lena and Yara had cleaned up and Darlene could move in, it was already past 23 o'clock late at night.

In the fairly spacious room, Darlene sat down on her bed.

Whether it was sheets or cups, Lina gave Darlene the latest set, and she took great care of Darlene.

Darlene has decided to stay here and work together with Lena and Yara to build this farm and orphanage. In other words, this room will be Darlene's room in the future, and it is the room where Darlene spends most time. place.

Darlene is quite satisfied with this room.

Not only is it spacious, but it also has many windows and faces the south.

On a clear day, this room is bound to be quite bright.

Just when Darlene was about to take off her coat and prepare to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room.

"Who is it?" Darlene asked.

"It's me." It was Yara's voice.

"Come in." Darlene didn't hesitate and let Yara open the door and come in.

With a "squeak" sound, Yara opened the door and slowly walked into Darlene's room.

Yara was not empty-handed, she still had two bottles of wine in her hand.

"Darlene." Yara smiled and shook the two bottles of wine in her hands, "Let's talk for a while longer."

"Do we still want to talk..." Darlene smiled bitterly, "Anyway, I have decided to stay here to help. We will spend a lot of time together in the future. If you want to chat, there will be plenty of time to chat in the future..."

Although Darlene said so, she patted the bed next to her and motioned for Yara to sit down.

After holding two bottles of wine and sitting next to Darlene, Yara opened both bottles of wine in her hands, and then handed one of them to Darlene.

"Here, Darlene. Let's have a little drink together."

"Um."

The two did not start chatting immediately.

Instead, they held the wine together and took a few sips together silently before Darlene took the lead to break the silence:

"Lina... she's recovering well. She looks like she's back to normal."

"Yes." Yara nodded, "But the two of us should be careful not to mention topics related to the Aurora Offensive in front of Lina."

"Yes, I know."

The two nodded tacitly.

Lena couldn't bear the pressure of massacring civilians during the "Aurora Offensive" and suffered mental problems, which forced her to quit the army.

At that time, a doctor told Darlene that this kind of mental illness is the most difficult to treat. There is currently no specific medicine that can treat this mental illness.

If you want to treat this kind of mental illness, you have to rely on the patient himself.

It is up to the patient to recover slowly.

Some patients are lucky and can return to normal after a long period of rest.

Some patients are so unlucky that their mental condition does not stabilize until they die...

Lina is the lucky one.

From the moment Darlene met Lena today until now, all of Lena's behaviors seem quite normal, with nothing weird about them.

This made Darlene couldn't help but feel relieved, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel lucky.

After the two of them sipped the wine from each other's bottles silently for a while, Yara suddenly asked Darlene:

"Darlene, when you were living in the Holy Shiran Empire,

What happened? "

"Huh?" Darlene looked puzzled at the question that Yara suddenly asked.

"Just now, when you were describing your journey of escaping back to the country from the Holy Shiran Empire, I noticed that - when you were talking about sneaking into a village to steal food, your expression turned weird for a moment. "

"Lina happened to be immersed in eating at the time, so she didn't notice it."

"But I found it."

"Darlene, something must have happened when you sneaked into that village to steal food, right?"

After Yara's question ended, Darlene pursed her lips, buried her head and said nothing, with a complex look on her face.

Yara glanced at Darlene, then scratched her hair:

"Darlene, if you don't want to say more, then don't say anything..."

"No...it's not something that must never be told to others..."

"The reason why I didn't talk about this in detail just now is because... I'm worried that after talking about it, it will bring back Lina's bad memories..."

Hearing what Darlene said, Yara's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Darlene...could it be possible...that you..."

A look of horror appeared on Yara's face at this time.

"That's right..." Darlene smiled bitterly and nodded, "When I sneaked into that village to steal food, I was unfortunately discovered by the villagers of that village."

"I originally... didn't want to hurt these villagers..."

"But these villagers have been chasing me, forcing me to the point of desperation..."

"So...I had to kill civilians again..."

At this point, Darlene closed her eyes in pain.

"It's just like the 'Aurora' offensive back then... I kept waving the sword in my hand, cutting down the civilians within sight one by one..."

"Kill until these villagers realize that I am not to be trifled with and they all run away."

"By the time these villagers fled, there were already 12 corpses of civilians lying at my feet..."

"It's really annoying...this feeling of having to kill civilians..."

"...I can understand." Yara said softly.

…

…

"Yara."

The room was immersed in an atmosphere of silence. After a long time, Darlene broke the silence again and spoke softly to Yara beside her.

"Do you still remember... the Great Patriotic War many years ago...?"

"Of course I remember it. This is the largest battle I have ever fought in my life. How could I forget it?"

"Then do you still remember... what I said to you on the eve of participating in the Great Patriotic War?"

"Words? What words?" Yara looked confused.

"It seems you have forgotten..." Darlene smiled helplessly, "But it's no wonder, after all, that happened many years ago."

"At that time, I told you - the reason why I participated in the war now has a new purpose."

"But I didn't tell you what my purpose was."

"And now I can tell you."

"My purpose is to find out through my own personal experience the reason why wars never stop."

"And now...I have found the reason..."
