Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

"YO! SAY! Summer is teasing my heart, the mermaid with bare legs is full of charm~"

Siegfried was sitting upright in Orb's huge living room, with the unsmiling Hilde beside him. Out of psychological considerations, Malu and the others suspended negotiations with Aslan for the past two days and went to Dawn Society instead. So after the two of them were left alone to defeat Prime Minister Orb, Siegfried, who was bored, hummed an unknown ditty 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 beside her really unbearable. Not to mention the rhythm of the whole song, the lyrics made her feel a little uncomfortable as she 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 the song of a great pilot, Heine Westinflus, who achieved the famous achievement of being killed in his own BGM. , It’s okay not to accept it.”

"never heard of that."

"Huh, I guess the Kira you know won't tell you this story. In his eyes, the singer pilot may be no different from Soldier A."

What Siegfried complained about was the story of the future Faith Heine and the voice actor behind him, but obviously Hilde couldn't understand the flaws. The boy who felt that he had the desire to complain but couldn't find an opponent lamented and could only do it again. changed the style of music.

"Exposed to the fleeting time, one cannot reach the end point alone~"

"What is this."

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

"You've had enough!"

Just as Sieg was excitedly trying to introduce the life story of the future Faith, who was really handsome but had a very ridiculous story behind him, Uzmi Nala Ashar, the actual leader of Orb, looked out of the window in the sunshine. walked in under the background. Siegfried, who was interrupted from complaining, even glanced at the clock on the wall. The second hand happened to reach the 12 position, which was exactly the same as the agreed time.

Putting aside his attitude of joking with Hilde, Siegfried straightened his sitting posture again, while Hilde beside him also slightly adjusted his posture. Obviously, no matter how much he despises this country in his heart, until Uzumi appeared, his aura that was more powerful than Malu and others still affected Hilde, who lacked emotion.

"I don't know what to call you two, Mars wanderers? Secret mercenaries? Or escapees from PLANT?"

From the beginning of the conversation, Uzmi tried to take the initiative. The biggest problem between Siegfried and Hilde is identity. After Hilde played the identity card of "Martian", the two also tried to collect relevant information to avoid loopholes in the identity issue, but they were limited by information. There are insufficient channels. At present, we only know that there is an organization like D.S.S.D., and the funders behind it are extremely complicated. Uzmi himself might be one of the participants. Therefore, facing the other party's aggressive start method, the two of them unanimously chose not to do it. answer.

After seeing the two people in front of him remain silent, Uzumi roughly verified his judgment, but for him, getting to the bottom of things was not the purpose. Cagalli's answer yesterday also made him make some decisions, regardless of whether the young boy Whether the girl is from Mars or not is not a problem to Orb, because Uzmi has the confidence to turn them into Orb's own.

"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 useless daughter, the two of you should want to leave the place before Orb. A ship?"

"Yes, the conditions we want are very simple. Let him stay in Orb, and then I will go to see Teacher Malchio."

In Siegfried's surprised expression, Hilde made his 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. After all, You can feel more at ease with MS by your side, but now Hilde suddenly proposed that Siegfried should be left alone in Orb, which was completely different from the original plan.

"Oh? It seems that the two of you don't agree on the same opinion?"

Of course, a sophisticated person like Uzmi would not let go of any details. Siegfried frowned as soon as Hilde's words came out of his mouth. Although he immediately covered it up, he still couldn't hide from Uzmi's insight.

"He is my brother, and a brother should listen to his sister, right?"

Hilde immediately launched a counterattack, and Uzmi's expression became serious. As he was not the only person present who knew the identities of Cagalli and Kira, he could not have guessed that the two people opposite him had activated the 'Prophet Hook'. However, Hilde's sister-sister relationship obviously lengthened the ending, and the duo, who were initially at a disadvantage due to the black account issue, slightly regained their composure.

"There is no problem in staying in AUB. Our AUB has always welcomed all kinds of talents to join, whether they are natural people or adjusted people. I believe that everyone can find their home in this country."

Also as a courtesy, Uzmi protracted the word "belong" at the end. At the same time, his eyes stayed on Siegfried, so much so that the young man doubted whether there was something wrong with his sitting posture.

"However, since you mentioned Tutor Marchio, considering all the aspects he is involved in, I have to be cautious."

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

Hilde chose to express his purpose directly without waiting for Uzmi to finish speaking, because today they came to discuss cooperation, not to play tricks on the Orb Lion. In fact, the two of them asked themselves that even if they drove the Prophet, they would not be able to do that. Acting skills, so telling the truth is the best way.

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

The temperature in March was still a bit cold even in the island country of Orb, but Siegfried could clearly feel a drop of sweat slowly gathering on the side of his face, and then a cool wet streak was drawn along his cheek.

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

After silence, Uzmi did not directly answer Hilde's request. He unexpectedly called 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 emergency, Cagalli is not suitable as a leader to govern a country."

"What do you mean by what if?"

"Of course it's you, Master Uzumi, if anything happens."

Now that his name was called, Siegfried chose to speak his mind. To outsiders, the young man's words seemed to show no respect for the prime minister of a country, not only no respect. There is a vague hint of curse inside.

"It seems that you have also seen the crisis in this country, so let me ask directly, my idiot daughter seems to have extended an invitation to you?"

In the end, Uzmi was not angry because of Siegfried's alarmism. Instead, he nodded in agreement, and then asked the most important question of his trip.

Yes, in Uzmi's plan, cooperation with the two is a secondary issue, including Hilde's conditions. In his opinion, no matter what requests the boy and girl made, according to the report given by Chisaka, there was a high probability that there was no organization behind them. In other words, the two people in front of him were simply rootless. Duckweed, and Orb is the best place to gather these 'duckweeds'.

So from the very beginning, in the eyes of this father who had received his daughter's answer in advance, the most important question of the 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 there is a chance in the future, I will stand by Cagalli's side, but..."

"But, then the problem lies with you?"

Uzmi turned his attention from Siegfried to Hilde. From the negotiation just now, Uzmi was able to determine that the girl's opinion led the pair. The relationship between the two was just as the girl herself said,' My brother always supports my sister's decisions. ’

"I agree to your request for cooperation, but I have a condition." Uzmi's pause made Siegfried want to cross the table, grab his collar and shake him back and forth, but the next moment he found that Uzmi was pointing at him with his finger. , "He can't go to PLANT with you. No matter how you talk to Teacher Marchio, or who he asks you to go to PLANT to meet, you can only go alone, not him."

"Agree" "Disagree."

"invalid objection."

Opposite answers sounded at the same time, and even Hilde quickly overturned Siegfried's objection within a few tenths of a second. Watching this scene, Uzmi put away the sense of oppression that enveloped the entire conference room, and instead looked at it kindly. Looking at Siegfried who was obviously furious.

"That's it. Thank you Prime Minister for your trust. Starting tomorrow, we will start further development work with Shuguang Society. Then we will leave first."

After Hilde finished speaking, she pressed the still struggling Siegfried's head, bowed slightly to Uzmi and planned to leave. Just when Siegfried wanted to say something more, he thought he had finished asking the question. Uzmi spoke again to keep him.

"Siegfried, the legendary dragon-slaying hero. Was this name given to you by your parents?"

Although he wanted to state that his name was derived from a certain boy with the same red hair, it seemed that Uzmi understood the name from the Nibelungenlied. It cannot be regarded as a deviation.

"Hilde picked it up for me. Is there any problem?"

"I'm just curious for a moment, Hilde? I just don't know which Hilde it is."

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

"I am just Hilde von Marindorff, not Hilde. So, take my leave."

Watching the two people leaving, Uzumi said in a voice that only she could hear, "Dragon-slaying hero, I hope Cagalli will be your linden leaf."

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

In addition, the meaning of the protagonist's name is not entirely copied from Silver Mile (of course there will be sources for this paragraph), but more importantly, it is the metaphor of the Nibelungenlied. Including Uzmi's question, which Hilde are you, that is, Kriemhild and Brünnhilde in the Nibelungen, and Hilde's response was the Yinying version.
