Chapter 33: Silence is the music tonight
"Mr. Mal." Lux looked at Ma Ningze with clear eyes, "The music you play on the piano is very beautiful."
"Ningze, you play really nicely," Kira, who was guarding at the side, said seriously.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ma Ningze took a step back and nodded lightly.
After Ma Ningze said this, he still didn't want to give up. He asked Lux:
"Miss Klein, have you...have you heard this piece of music I played?"
"Sorry, I don't have one." Lux thought for a moment, then shook her head.
Ma Ningze sighed.
Then, with his last glimmer of hope, he asked Lux.
"Then, have you ever heard of... Symphony No. 5 in C minor... that is, the Symphony of Destiny?"
"Symphony of Destiny!" At this time, Lux's eyes lit up, "I've heard of it! It's said to be epic music from before the RC Reorganization War... that is, before the first year of CE!"
"It's a pity...I heard it was lost..."
Having said this, Lux looked at Ma Ningze and suddenly widened her eyes: "Mr. Mal, you...this song..."
"If nothing else happens..." Ma Ningze nodded, "That should be it."
"But if there's a symphony orchestra, that's when the piece really shines."
"Oh my god!" Lux covered her mouth, "This is a great thing, if Nico..."
She stopped suddenly.
"What's Nigao?" Ma Ningze asked knowingly.
Ma Ningze knew who the person she was talking about was, but there was no need to clarify this matter.
"No... nothing..." Lux shook her head, "I just remembered a... friend."
"That's it..." Ma Ningze pretended to think for a while.
Then, he tidied up his clothes.
"Anyway, thank you for your appreciation." Ma Ningze nodded, "If the music I play can catch your eye, it is the greatest compliment to me."
"You are humble." Lux returned.
"Also, there is something that we may have to apologize to you for." Ma Ningze said.
"?" Lux was stunned, "What happened?"
"For what we will most likely do to you in the future." Ma Ningze replied, and then he turned around.
"Okay, please go back to the room quickly." Kira watched Ma Ningze turn around and urged him.
Lux glanced at Ma Ningze who turned away, and then nodded to Kira.
"Thank you Kira-sama for your tolerance." She said with a smile.
Ma Ningze watched the two people walking away, turned around, and saw Isa looking at him at the door.
"What's the matter? Nurse?" Ma Ningze asked with a smile.
"No..." Isa said with a blush, "Next time...when can I hear you play the piano again, senior?"
"Uh." Ma Ningze thought for a moment, "It'll be quick, but I'm a little tired now."
"Okay, I'll take you back to the room." Isha walked to Ma Ningze and whispered.
"..." Ma Ningze was not a person who liked to reject others, so he followed Isha.
"Senior..." Isha walked to the door of Ma Ningze's room, opened the door, and sent Ma Ningze into the room, "You..."
She lowered her voice: "Can you tell me why..."
She hesitated again.
"What why?" Ma Ningze asked knowingly.
"Why...disguise..."
When Isa said this, she seemed to suddenly feel a little offended, and then shook her head.
"No...nothing..."
Watching Isha exit her room, Ma Ningze was left with nothing but silence.
"Sir." Xiao Li jumped out, "I can't feel that she has any hostility towards you, only..."
"Shut up, Xiaoli!" Ma Ningze suddenly said, "The career I am going to devote myself to cannot tolerate the love between children."
"Even if she is really interested in me, so what?"
Ma Ningze said in a deep voice: "The path I will take is not only to quell the war!"
"It is still necessary to end the war forever!"
"This is a road that people in this world have never imagined!"
"This is a road full of thorns and death."
"It is both a dead end and an opportunity."
"I can't enjoy these things..."
"I...I am a weak person." Ma Ningze said with a self-deprecating smile, "I like to lie quietly under the warm sunshine, or sit under the eaves on rainy days..."
"Even playing an exquisite stand-alone game, watching a good movie, or even listening to a popular song..."
"Enjoy those moments of peace and quiet."
"It's just that I can't get real happiness..." Ma Ningze closed his eyes.
“It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together.”
……
"Sir, get up." Xiao Ai appeared on the TV nearby, "As you said before, the advance team of the Eighth Fleet is here."
"Oh." Ma Ningze opened his eyes in confusion, and then quickly got up.
"Xiao Ai, Xiao Li, test my body and prepare to fight."
"Ah?" Xiao Li made a fuss, "Enemies? Where are the enemies?"
"Soon." Ma Ningze put on his clothes and ran out of the room in small steps.
When Ma Ningze hurried to the locker room, he heard something moving inside.
"...So, you like...this...seam..."
In the men's locker room, a female voice came out.
Ma Ningze hesitated for a moment, then came to the door of the locker room and listened.
"Okay, but now the advance team of the Eighth Fleet is coming." Surprisingly, this was the voice of Natal Bakilulu.
"Soon, civilians will leave here."
"Are you really... not going to tell him?" she asked.
"No..." What also surprised Ma Ningze was that it was Isha's voice.
"His heart is very painful, and he always puts things that don't belong to him on his shoulders." Isa said, "He obviously is... He obviously doesn't have the ability, but he insists on taking it..."
"You know he is a natural person, right?" Baji Lulu asked.
"What? You know that too?" Isa also asked in surprise.
"?" Ma Ningze stood dumbly at the door.
"I... I... found out about it on Junius 7." Natal Baqilulu's voice came, and she told how she obtained Ma Ningze's identity, "...
And at that moment, I couldn't believe my eyes..."
"So after that, I retrieved his physical examination report." Bucky Lulu said calmly, "Your disguise was good."
"I...I'm sorry..." Isa said lowly, "I just thought...he must have his reasons for saying that..."
"He doesn't want us to know, he must have his own thoughts..."
"So you want to support him?" Bucky Lulu said, "For example, give him a battle suit with seams stitched open?"
"...Well..." Isa whispered like a mosquito, "I just want to...support him silently..."
Ma Ningze leaned against the door with his head lowered.
