369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSVavdMfTf

「你有著跟其他同齡男孩不一樣的夢想，思想也非常獨到成熟。我還是第一次遇到你這樣的人。大葆士，你就是我夢寐以求的對象。我希望，能跟你一同渡過接下來的歲月。」艾雀公主抬起頭，臉上的羞怯害臊已然消失，取而代之的是堅貞不渝，我只要你的氣勢。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZbd59HKp0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFkK2l35Pe

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrT5rmZ8DG
「德基！香濃和梅因？你們怎麼會在這裡？」大葆士快走上前，四名室友全員到齊已經是六年前的事了！369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFJbQToXdy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1CnozurdQ
「不老少校！還是這張孩子臉！」梅因仗著高壯的身材優勢，硬是擠開其他兩位，直直朝大葆士展臂抱去！369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchRA9Sn9qK

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dkBLtQOzk
「他可是堂堂少校，注意你的行為。梅因武器員中尉。」頭髮被髮膠弄得又刺又尖，膚色蒼白的香濃冷冷道，梅因背著大葆士來到他面前。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1aHfP60W3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1rRxeRHit

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHYcRMxtSi
「……你先放下來啊。」香濃板著臉回應。講的話跟表情完全不搭嘎，瞬間讓梅因和德基大笑出來！
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOU4blXICv
「難得香濃和梅因休假，我今晚也沒事，要不待會一起到港口那邊吃飯？」德基看向大葆士：「小不點少校一起吧？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchCB0iZPyu
