Kapitel 369: Third choice

Ninth had to decide now. The Queen's vengeful hand was nearing towards her teammates, her friends, who she has called her family for years on end. The only thing she had to do was to push Tulip towards the Queen, and she would save not only herself, but her teammates.

It would be so easy. Just when Ninth was wracking her mind over this monumental decision, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

She looked behind and saw Tulip looking at her with the kindest of eyes. The Canzer nodded, giving the implicit assurance that she was okay.

Tulip was letting Ninth choose her teammates.

After all, Ninth knew she was going to do either way. At least now, there wouldn't be more casualties because of her. 

Ninth and the other humans that had been so kind to her didn't deserve this kind of fate. Tulip wanted to make sure that they didn't get caught up in her death.
