Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 45 Orb ([-])

"YO! SAY! Summer is teasing my heart, a charming mermaid with bare legs~"

Siegfried was sitting in Orb's huge living room, with the unsmiling Hilde beside him.Out of psychological considerations, Maru and the others postponed the negotiation with Aslan for the past two days and went to the Dawn Club instead.So after the two of them singled out Prime Minister Orb, the bored Siegfried hummed an unknown song to pass the time.

"The temptation of the heat wave makes the soul naked~"

"Your lyrics are really bad."

However, his strange lyrics made Hilde around him a little bit unbearable. The whole song didn't talk about the rhythm issue, and the lyrics somewhat made her feel a little uncomfortable, who had gradually developed gender awareness.

"Why is it so bad?"

"So straightforward, and obscene!"

"Hilde, you don't understand, how can this be obscene? This is a song by a great pilot, Heine Westinfluth, who made a famous achievement that was killed in his own BGM , you can’t accept it.”

"never heard of that."

"Heh, the Kira you know probably won't tell you this story. In his eyes, the singer-pilot may be no different from Miscellaneous Soldier A."

What Siegfried complained about was the story of the future Faith Heine and the seiyuu meme behind him, but apparently Hilde couldn't understand the grotesque point, and the teenager who felt that he was full of rants but couldn't find an opponent could only lament again and again. Changed the style of music.

"Exposed to the fleeting time, you can't reach the end alone~"

"What is this again?"

"Another song by the great Heine who died of his own BGM called..."

"You are enough!"

Just when Ziggy was eager to introduce the life story of Faith, who is really handsome in the future but has absurd backstory at the same time, Uzmi-Nara-Ashar, who is actually in charge of Orb, was in the sunshine outside the window. Walked in against the background.Siegfried, who was interrupted to complain, even glanced at the wall clock on the wall. The second hand just reached the position of 12, which was within a second of the agreed time.

Putting aside his joking attitude with Hilde, Siegfried straightened his sitting posture again, while Hilde beside him also adjusted his posture slightly.Obviously, no matter how much he looked down on this country in his heart, until the appearance of Uzmi, his stronger aura than Maliu and others still affected Hilde who lacked emotion.

"I don't know how to call you two, Martian rover? Secret mercenary? Or a fugitive from PLANT?"

From the beginning of the conversation, Uzmi tried to take the initiative.The biggest problem for Siegfried and Hilde is identity. After Hilde played the 'Martian' identity card, the two also tried to collect relevant information to avoid loopholes in the identity issue, but limited information Insufficient channels. At present, there is only such an organization as DSSD, and the funders behind it are extremely complicated. Maybe Uzmi himself is one of the participants. Therefore, facing the opponent's method of opening the game, the two unanimously chose not to do it. answer.

Seeing that the two people in front of him remained silent, Uzmi roughly verified his judgment, but for him, it was not his purpose to get to the bottom of it. Kagali's answer yesterday also made him make some decisions, no matter the pair of boys Whether the girl is from Mars is not a problem for Aub, because Uzmi is confident to turn them into Aub's own people.

"I have read the information you sent to the Shuguang Society. There is no problem with the technical certification. So, what do you want? According to my incompetent daughter, the two of you should want to leave there after Orb a ship?"

"Yes, the condition we want is very simple, let him stay in Orb, and then I will go to see Mentor Marchio."

With Siegfried's surprised expression, Hilde made his own request, but the content was different from what the two had discussed. In the previous plan, Siegfried wanted to go to the universe with Hilde. With the MS by my side, I feel at ease, but now Hilde suddenly proposes to let Siegfried stay alone in Orb, which is completely different from the original plan.

"Oh? It seems that the two didn't have a unified opinion?"

As experienced as Uzmi, of course he would not let go of a single detail. Siegfried frowned as soon as Hilde's words came out. Although he immediately covered it up, he still couldn't hide from Uzmi's insight.

"He is my younger brother, and the younger brother should listen to the elder sister, shouldn't he?"

Hilde immediately launched a counterattack, and Uzmi's expression became serious. As he was not the only one who knew the identities of Kagalli and Kira, he couldn't have guessed that the two people on the opposite side had activated the "prophet hook". However, Hilde's sister-brother relationship obviously prolongs the ending, which means something. For a while, the duo, who were somewhat at a disadvantage due to the black household problem, regained a bit of a round.

"There is no problem staying in Orb. Our Orb has always welcomed all kinds of talents to join, whether it is a natural person or an adjustment person. I believe that they can find their own belongings in this country."

Also as a courtesy, Uzmi also prolonged the ending of the word belonging, and at the same time his eyes stayed on Siegfried, so that the boy wondered if there was something wrong with his sitting posture.

"However, since you mentioned Mentor Marchio, I have to be cautious considering all aspects of his involvement"

"I need to get in touch with the Klein faction of PLANT through him, and that's it."

Hilde didn't wait for Uzmi to finish speaking and chose to directly state the purpose, because today they came to talk about cooperation, not to play tricks on the Orb Lion. Acting skills, so telling the truth is the best way.

There was a long silence in response to Hilde. The setting sun cast a huge shadow behind Uzmi, and the two Siegfried sitting in front of him were naturally shrouded in this shadow.

The temperature in March is still a bit cold even in the island country of Orb, but Siegfried clearly felt a drop of sweat slowly condense on the side of his face, and then drew a somewhat cool wet mark along his cheek.

"Young man, what do you think of my useless daughter?"

After the silence, Uzmi did not directly answer Hilde's request, unexpectedly named Siegfried's name, and asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the scene.

"What do you think? With all due respect, if there is any contingency, Kajiali is not suitable to govern a country as a leader."

"The so-called what if?"

"Of course it's you, Master Uzmi, what's the matter?"

Now that he was named, Siegfried also chose to speak directly. From the perspective of outsiders, the young man's words seemed to have no respect for the prime minister of a country at all, not only no respect.It was even more vaguely tinged with curses.

"It seems that you have also seen the crisis in this country, so I will ask directly, my stupid daughter seems to have sent you an invitation?"

As a result, Uzmi did not get angry because of Siegfried's alarmist words. Instead, he nodded in agreement, and then asked the core question of his trip.

Yes, in Uzmi's plan, the cooperation with the two is a secondary issue, including Hilde's conditions are not so important.In his opinion, no matter what demands the boys and girls make, according to the report given by Qisaka, there is a high probability that there is no organization behind them, that is to say, the two people in front of them are rootless at all. Duckweed, and Orb is the best place to gather these 'duckweed'.

So from the very beginning, in the eyes of the father who got his daughter's answer in advance, the most important question of this trip was naturally Siegfried's answer.

"My answer is still the same as last time. Hilde is kind to me and is my only relative. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will stand by Cagalli's side, but..."

"But, is that the problem with you?"

Turning his attention from Siegfried to Hilde, Uzmi can already confirm from the negotiation just now that the opinion of the girl is dominant in this pair, and the relationship between the two is just as the girl herself said,' The younger brother always supports the older sister's decision. '

"I agree to your request for cooperation, but I have one condition." Uzmi's pause made Siegfried want to step over the table and grab his collar and shake it back and forth, but the next moment he found Uzmi pointing his finger at himself , "He can't go to PLANT with you. No matter how you talk with Mentor Marchio, and no matter who he tells you to go to PLANT, you can only go alone, he can't."

"Agree" "Disagree."

"invalid objection."

The opposite answer sounded at the same time, and even Hilde quickly overruled Siegfried's objection in a few tenths of a second. Uzmi, who watched this scene, put away the oppressive feeling that enveloped the entire meeting room, and instead looked kindly. Siegfried, visibly out of breath.

"That's it, thank you Prime Minister for your trust. We will start further development work with Shuguang Society starting tomorrow, so we will leave first."

After Hilde finished speaking, he pressed Siegfried's head who was still struggling, and after giving a slight bow to Uzmi, he planned to leave. Just when Siegfried wanted to say something more, he thought he had finished asking questions. Uzmi opened his mouth again to hold him back.

"Siegfried, the legendary dragon-slaying hero. Did your parents give you this name?"

Although he would like to claim that his name is derived from a boy with the same red hair, it seems that Uzumi understands this name from the Nibelungen song.Nor can it be regarded as a deviation.

"Hilde took it for me, what's the problem?"

"It's just a momentary curiosity, Hilde... I just don't know which Hilde it is"

Siegfried, who did not have a deep study of literature, looked at Uzmi in a daze, but Hilde beside him seemed to understand the subtext of the other party.

"I'm just Hilde-von-Marindorf, not any Hilde, so please leave."

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Uzmi said in a voice that only he could hear, "Hero of the dragon slayer, I hope Kagali will be your linden leaf."

　I personally like this chapter very much (not bragging). There are many careful thoughts hidden under the negotiation. Uzmi does not allow Zig to fly to PLANT. The first reason is naturally to keep him as a hostage, but he did not limit his scope of activities. Then The second reason is a bit thought-provoking. He doesn't want Siegfried to meet Lacus, or prevent him from meeting Lacus.

　　In addition, the meaning of the protagonist's name is not completely copied from Silver Mile (of course, this passage will also have a source), but more importantly, it is a metaphor of the Nibelungen Song.Including Uzmi's question, which Hilde are you, that is Krimhilde and Brunhilde in the Nibelungen, and Hilde's response is to use Yinying's version.
