Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 82
"MS troops appear ahead, number 20."

"JachinDue's defenders? It's a little tricky."

"Gnacu requests ejection preparations, is it Gates? And there are still two!"

"Captain Barudfelt, please open the ejection port, that is our guardian angel."

Perhaps it was the butterfly effect caused by Hilde. The Eternity escaped much earlier than before. At this time, the Victoria Spaceport was still in the hands of ZAFT, so the council had not had time to fully gather the troops on the ground, causing the entire JachinDue The strength of the fortress is not sufficient, otherwise, with the interception lineup of more than 50 planes on the original timeline, it would be impossible for two Gates to rush over.

"Shiho Hanifs, Gates strikes!"

Immediately after Shiho, Hilde didn't even have a routine report, and directly stepped on the tail flame of the MS in front of him and ejected. Two Gates entered the enemy group one after another from the Eternity, the beam rifle fired continuously, and a heavily armed In this way, Ginn became the flame of the explosion and dissipated in JachinDue's universe.

Except for the time when he rescued Siegfried with the Gespenst, this was the first time that Hilde piloted a mobile suit to fight alone. With the continuous explosion of fire around Gates, the fragmented memories in Hilde's brain showed signs of splicing. .

"I seem to be behind someone. I have seen such a scene with my own eyes. Who is that back? She didn't call me Hilde. Who is it?"

"Huh? Is this the level of the current ZAFT driver?"

Zhibao next to her was not troubled by memory, but she couldn't help sighing in confusion after the first shot down was credited. Judging from her short service experience, the level of the fortress's garrison troops was already It was comparable to those of her ungraduated classmates in the military academy.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that ZAFT was too traumatized when it was raped in Alaska. A large number of experienced veterans were buried on the earth, so that the fortress at the door of this house needed to urgently recruit a group of rookies Only recruits can barely form combat effectiveness.

But thanks to this, relying on Hilde's extremely ordinary driving skills and Shiho's ACE level of half a bottle of water, the Eternal was able to break through the siege of the fortress defenders, and left the PLANT mainland smoothly, otherwise there would be no Liberty Gundam to support them It is difficult for most to escape this disaster.

At this moment, Lux was looking at the stars outside the porthole. She had just lost her father and was wrapped tightly in a sense of helplessness, but she kept reminding herself that the entire Eternity was watching her every move. No matter how uncomfortable you are, you can't show it in front of everyone.

"Lax, what is our next destination?"

Although he knew it was not a good time to speak, but for a lonely ship like the Eternity, the next step was the most concerned issue of all the crew members, so Tiger asked Lux ​​after weighing it over and over again.

"In the L4 universe, food and water need to be replenished there, as well as the maintenance of the battleship and... a mobile suit carrying an important contract."

Just when the tiger was preparing to arrange the next action plan, Da Costa received a communication from Ganaku, and then reported it with an unexpected tone.

"Ganaku Shiho communicated, Captain Hilde passed out after returning?"

At this time, near the Earth orbit, the Kusanagi had just completed the assembly of the rest of the components, and Chisaka invited Maru and Mu to the bridge to discuss the next action plan.

"Cagali she."

"Still locked in the room alone, with so many things happening, she must need time to calm down."

After hearing Chisaka's answer, Maru thought about it and asked the key question. As a woman, she was already more sensitive and delicate than a group of men. When she was in Orb, she had already noticed that the pair were During the days when the Archangel escaped, the boys and girls who depended on each other for life seemed to be emotionally a little bit wrong.

"What about Siegfried?"

"I haven't seen him since I threw Yanhong Strike to us. Erica told me that if this goes on, the equipment we brought will not be able to support such a lavish pilot."

Qisaka didn't know if he deliberately avoided Mario's question, and instead talked about Siegfried's second act of using his backpack to block the gun. Throwing a backpack once or twice, Yanhong Strike is about to face the end of attacking naked.

"Colonel, I'm not asking about this whereabouts, you should understand, right?"

But Maliu is obviously not satisfied with such an answer. As the person who 'picked up' Siegfried and Cagalli back in Heliopolis, she now has a dual identity of 'witness and guardian'. Mixed feelings.

"Honestly speaking, I'm not very clear about the matter between him and Kajiali. Mrs. Uzmi just let me do what they want, and our top priority can't just care about the relationship between a pair of children. Now the Kusanagi and Archangel are short of water. Although some parts are not in short supply for the time being, there will definitely be problems in the long run. After all, we will not be able to receive supplies in the short term, and the battleship itself needs to be maintained, so find a foothold now. That's the most urgent thing."

Being blocked by Zisaka with this kind of reason, Maru could not continue to ask further questions. In essence, this was a confrontation between the two sides for the "ownership of Siegfried". In addition, there are only two mobile suits that have not yet been repaired, Beam Xigu and Thunder Gundam, and Thunder will go to the Kusanagi to join the team members later. Kira's Freedom Gundam said it will be back in a while, but Until now, no one has been seen, and Maru instinctively wants to fight for more combat power. In her eyes, Siegfried is obviously one of her own.

From Qisaka's point of view, since Uzmi has asked him not to interfere too much with the princess' emotional issues, he takes it for granted that this matter has been settled, even if it has not been done for the time being, but Siegfried's Aub It was also impossible to tear off the label, so he instinctively prevented Maliu from continuing to inquire about the details of their relationship.

However, this small push and pull will not affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties. The two warships are now rootless duckweed. Decided to go to the L4 universe to find abandoned satellites for resupply.

And the young man that Mario was fighting with Qisaka was leaning against the door of Cagalli's room at this moment, neither knocking on the door nor leaving, just looking up at the ceiling without knowing what he was thinking, beside him The one was Stella who just woke up from sleep therapy.

"Hey? Siegfried, why don't you go in here?"

The dazed boy followed the voice, and it turned out that it was Kira who came here after explaining the preparations for the Freedom Gundam.

As a result, under Kira's suspicious eyes, Siegfried waved his hand casually and then continued to lean back against the door. Stella looked up and found that it was an acquaintance, and then continued to immerse herself in the music in the earphones.

"Don't go in?" In order to prevent himself from ignoring something, Kira asked again. I don't know if he finally regained his senses under his reminder. Siegfried turned and knocked on the door, and then fell into a strange situation again. in the quiet.

Not long after, Kajiali who appeared in front of the two after the electronic door opened should have just finished crying, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but there was no sad expression on her face, but her trembling hands betrayed her heart.

"sorry"

Seeing this scene, the thousands of words in Siegfried's mind could only be turned into a short apology in the end, even though he told himself countless times that he had tried his best and couldn't do better, Orb and Uzi That's how Mi ends up, he's not a savior, enough is enough.

But facing Kagali in front of her, this girl who used to shine on her like the sun, in the panic after saying goodbye to Hilde for the first time, and in the guilt after driving the MS to kill someone for the first time, came into contact with this girl for the first time. In the nostalgia that arose after the real world, these memories shattered like a mirror, and all the fragments were Kagali's figure without exception.

Siegfried couldn't convince himself with 'I tried my best' at all, he didn't know how to say it, what 'it's okay, it will be fine' sounded like a downright lie.

When he was in Orb, he vented his emotions unscrupulously. It was not so much his dissatisfaction with Orb, but it was more like his vacillating dislike for himself. Ha's suffix, everything was smashed in front of his promise to Hilde.

Finally, Cagalli threw herself into Siegfried's arms, and after being driven back by the familiar momentum for a while, under Stella's puzzled and Kira's eyes of course, Siegfried stretched out his hand and pressed The top of Cagalli's head.

"I'm fine. Everything will be fine with you here, right?"

It was not the first time Siegfried hugged Cagalli. In fact, the first time he felt the sense of reality in this world was when she jumped down from the second floor recklessly and bumped into him, but countless times before He didn't even feel the trembling of Kajiali, but at this moment, it was subtle and real, and through his palm, it was transmitted to the depths of his soul.

"Will be fine"

In the end, Siegfried uttered the comforting lie against his will. At this time, he knew clearly that things were exactly the opposite of his comforting, and everything would not get better.Orb, Lianhe, PLANT, everything will develop into a worse situation in two years, and the girl in his arms will also face the second experience of national bankruptcy, and he
'If. I'm stronger. If I have power. If I can stay.'

Stella by the wall was listening to the song carefree. She squatted on the ground and looked curiously at Siegfried's position, only to find that his unraised left hand was tightly clenched into a fist.

For some reason, Stella, who was supposed to be slowly returning to normal after sleep therapy, suddenly said, "Don't be sad, Siegfried. Stella will help you kill them all."

The childish tone said the cruelest words, but just when Kira thought Siegfried would stop him, he found that he was holding Kagalli and did not make any sound.

　After writing this chapter at one o'clock in the middle of the night, the whole person is in a bad mood

　　I will ask for leave tomorrow. I originally asked for it today. I thought it would not be good to stop at Orb and blew myself up, so I used a chapter to save the manuscript. There are so many things that I can’t do anything.
