Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 65 A New Direction ([-])

Aprilius, which is one of the cores of PLANT, is the capital of spring. Shiho stood on the open platform and looked at the wide lake in front of him. Kira was lying unconscious on the bed behind him, but his thoughts returned to the bloody battle on the earth. middle.

"Itzhak"

The last impression in my mind is the picture of the duel falling into the sea, so that every night after returning to PLANT, I will be awakened by this nightmare, holding the railing with both hands, the knuckles have begun to turn white due to excessive force, 'Hello, hello, Don't be sad', a familiar mechanical sound slowly rolled to her feet.

"Ahhhhhhh~ Xiaofan, don't bother Shiho~"

In the next second, a pink figure came to Shiho's side with an apologetic expression. As an adjustment person who was born and raised in PLANT, the owner of the voice that can be recognized even with his eyes closed is the national idol Lacus - Klein.

"Miss Lacus"

"Don't be so extravagant, just call me Lux, after all, I'm calling you Shiho, right?"

Lux tilted her head slightly, the waves of the lake reflected on her beautiful face, and even the girl Zhibao lost her mind for a moment. After realizing her gaffe, Zhibao quickly turned her face to the side, trying hard to let herself see It didn't look so sad, but as Lux's warm palm gently caressed his face, Zhibao still couldn't restrain the sadness in his heart after all, and the emotions he had finally calmed down surged out like a flood that burst a bank. .

"If you feel uncomfortable, there is no shame in crying, because we are all girls."

"I can't save Yitzhak and I can't help everyone."

"Maybe, Shiho, you are not suitable for fighting"

A small flame had just been ignited in the warm atmosphere, and as the bewildered Hilde stepped onto the platform, she was blown away. She was already free to enter and leave Klein's house, surrounded by a group of hellos, and walked abruptly to Shiho before.

"Due to the mental state of Councilor Jiuer, your marriage information has not been destroyed before, should you dismantle it yourself?"

Shiho leaned weakly on Lacus's body, seeing the document handed over by Hilde, he hesitated to reach out.She didn't dare to think that if the contents of the document were really what Regret said, wouldn't her sadness become a complete joke?

But at the same time, her heart was telling her that the truth was probably true, and there was really no reason for Regret to lie to her again before leaving.Behind this feeling of hesitation and fear, the shadows of his teammates' death and deceit are repeatedly entangled, like two opposite forces mercilessly tearing at Zhibao's soul.

"Aren't you afraid to read it? It's okay, I'll read it to you."

Hilde, as always, has no communication barriers in front of communication partners other than Siegfried. With Shiho's desperate eyes, she didn't open the file bag at all, but directly read the contents above.

"About the report on the selection of Zhibao-Hanifus' forced marriage, in February CE70, according to the test results of the Gene Matching Bureau, the primary candidate was Regret-Aaron. According to the request, this record was artificially modified, and the matching result was, inappropriate. On March 2 of the same year, the matching object was changed to Yizhak-Juer, marked here as, Regret is conducting the offensive and defensive battle of Victoria, 3 In July, the original marriage partner, Regret, returned to PLANT with the assistance of his captain, Roland Gabelle. In July, he participated in the assassination of Councilor Juer."

"enough!!!!!"

Shiho's voice suddenly became sharp and harsh, and he lost control and waved away the document, but the expressionless Hilde was not angry, as if he was reciting an irrelevant piece of history.

"It seems that you already understand, then I don't need it."

"Enough!! I said enough is enough!!!"

"Knowing the truth is everyone's right, not to mention I asked for your consent before setting off."

"Hilde-von-Marindorf!"

In the end, it was Lux who interrupted Hilde's continued stabbing. She really couldn't accept that someone could tear open other people's wounds in front of her without any empathy.

"In addition, there are three more secret sentries at the gate of your house. If your father didn't arrange it, then you should consider the situation of Klein's house."

If Siegfried was here, he would definitely praise his sister for being a good stabbing expert, first Shiho and then Lacus, perfectly highlighting the characteristics of a chat killer.

In this atmosphere, Haro’s voice came from the bed at the back. Kira, who was struggling to return to the real world from the darkness, saw three women when she opened her eyes, and the relationship between them seemed not very friendly. low air pressure.

At the same time, Siegfried, who had just completed the customs clearance procedures, was instructing workers to load Ginn, which was disguised as ordinary goods, onto a transport vehicle in the territory of the Eurasian Union on Earth.

"Hey, you two just watch, right?"

Seeing Regret and Mayura on the side showing no intention of helping, Siegfried couldn't help complaining, but it didn't help but drew ridicule from the two.

"Who is nagging you to look down on Ginn? If this mobile suit is intelligent, it will cry, right? And if there is no Ginn, you and I can talk about whether we can come back from the universe. You are really A model of turning one's face and denying one's identity."

As a person who shared a room with Siegfried along the way, Regret swore that he had never seen anyone who could talk so much. If he knew his roommate could talk so much, he would rather pay for it himself and order an extra one. Room.

"I'm not mistaken, you touch your conscience, Ginn, isn't it out of date?"

Unlike Siegfried, Regret, as a veteran ZAFT soldier, still has deep personal feelings for the Ginn suit. Although he admits that heresy has indeed crushed this old-fashioned mobile suit in every way, he still has deep feelings for it. Can't let go of the memory of Ginn.

"So if you say that war is the best way to catalyze technology, Ginn has only been in actual combat for a few years, and it is already synonymous with outdatedness. It is unimaginable."

What Siegfried said was also true. According to Hilde's information, it has only been four short years since the appearance of the Ginn No. [-] machine.Orb is already working hard to increase the output of heresy, and the short sword of the United will appear in front of the world in a short time. No matter how much Ginn changes, it will not violate the law of technological progress.

During the chat, the "antique machine" that Siegfried was talking about had been loaded into the car. After greeting the staff of the trading company, the three of them got on the transport car and started heading towards the hinterland of Eurasia.

Thanks to the rotation of Siegfried and Regret along the way, it didn't take too much energy. Due to sufficient funds, several people even had time to taste the local delicacies.

"Come on, come on, you two must try this tripe soup, it's delicious together with cornmeal."

"Senior, is it really okay for you to do this? We are almost near our destination?"

In a small local restaurant, Mayura looked helplessly at Siegfried, who was feasting. Originally, she didn't want to call him that, but after the three of them compared MS'driving age' to each other during the boring journey, she was surprised. Found that 'newbie was me'?
Regret's qualifications are the most unquestionable. CE69 was the first time he sat on a mobile suit in the military academy, and he began to engage in actual combat in 70. It has been exactly two years now, but Siegfried's answer made both of them feel that Somewhat unbelievable.

According to his narration, in CE68, Siegfried, who had just been in this world for only the second month, had already sat on the Gespenst, and then started a nightmarish two-year journey under Hilde's cramming education. The knowledge system of the world, as well as what makes him want to hang himself in the cockpit - 'MS driving - from entry to mastery'.

Of course, the version he uttered is naturally the plot of the survivors of Mars. In the story, as a commoner, he learned to drive a mobile suit because he was forced to do nothing, but he didn't expect that this answer would invisibly give him a hand in Versailles.

From Siegfried's own point of view, although he doesn't know his exact age, if he can estimate based on his appearance, he will not be more than 13 years old when he first sat on a mobile suit.His 'dead memories' clearly told him that in front of the invincible superman Zabot, driving a mobile suit at the age of twelve or thirteen was really nothing but ordinary.

But as Regret and Mayura who have not been influenced by radish slices, his age is a bit unimaginable. Even though ZAFT is already known for its low age of enlistment, it is not so inhumane that 12 Year-old kid sits on MS.

In the end, the three of them ranked seniority based on MS driving age, and Siegfried became Mayura's senior without a doubt. However, Regret insisted on sorting by the actual combat time, and was determined not to use the same title with Mayura.But no matter which calculation method is used, among the three, Mayura is definitely the junior.

"what?"

With cornmeal in his mouth, Siegfried didn't seem to care about Mayura's doubts. After taking another sip of tripe soup, he said slowly in a mature tone, "This town is the closest to our target location. In a human gathering area, the task has already started, or do you think I'm just eating?"

"No, otherwise? Otherwise?"

Mayura was a little confused by Siegfried's question. From her point of view, the three of them just ate, drank and drank all the way, even if they came here, it was no different from the previous towns, so she instinctively felt that Siegfried was bluffing.

"So, it's really the right choice to bring you out to carry out the mission, otherwise Orb expects a zero-experience recruit like you to die sooner or later, right?"

Glancing at Regret next to him, he found that he didn't want to talk to him at all, so Siegfried could only continue to play the role of 'teacher' temporarily, "Don't you find anything strange about this town?"

"Strange place?. There are no children here?"

Under Siegfried's reminder, Mayura realized that since they came to this small town, they haven't seen even a single child on the street, which is extremely rare in non-war areas situation.

"Not only that, since we sat down until now, two groups of people have approached this table. In addition, our van has sounded the alarm four times, which proves that we have been targeted."

Regret looked at his naive student, shook his head and chose to speak more thoroughly.

"And their goal is obviously this guy who can eat. After all, he looks like a child among us."

At this time, Siegfried finally finished eating the food in front of him, and while calling loudly for the boss to come and pay the bill, he looked out the window at several suspicious-looking figures.

"Find a place to rest and get ready to work at night. The target is the Rhodes Institute."

　The sorrows and joys of human beings are not understandable. Siegfried and Hilde experienced completely different things in the same timeline, and of course Regret and Shiho were also included.

　　In addition, I have nothing to write this book at the moment, and I haven’t given much thought to such a thing as being on the shelves, let alone full attendance. Not satisfied until the end of the book.However, writing books is a hobby, and if you don’t want to make money, you have opened up a lot of ideas. At least you won’t be unable to eat because of writing tragedies. Even if there are too many things at the end of the year, sometimes it will happen that yesterday’s situation where it was too late to type. Please forgive me.

　　But should I say it or not, the feeling of being urged to change is okay, at least knowing that someone is looking forward to it, and it is miserable if no one is urged.
