Yura, who was driving a raptor in the search, received a message from Chisaka.

said that after learning of the attack, Cagalli participated in the search and rescue operation despite the prevention.

Yura suppressed the inexplicable vinegar and said that Chisaka must take care of Cagalli.

After an intense day of search and rescue work, Obufang found Aslan washed up on a nearby island.

Yura ordered him to be protected and gave him the best treatment she could.

However, he did not end the search, but asked the Orb Army to continue to search for any of the Combine pilots nearby.

At this moment, Chisaka urgently reported that Cagalli had gone to Aslan despite the obstacles.

Frightened, Yura quickly turned around and flew towards the ship where Aslan was.

At the same time, a terrible thought came to my heart.

I'll go, Cagalli's fiery temper won't blow Aslan with one shot, will it?

After an emergency landing on the water next to the ship, Yura, with the help of the crew, boarded the search and rescue ship and headed straight for Aslan's room.

Pushing the door in, Cagalli was seen tugging at Aslan's collar with one hand and holding a gun against his neck with the other, crying about Kira's innocence.

She had always felt sorry for Kira in her heart, and it was because Orb allowed the United to secretly create MS in Heliopolis that Kira and his friends were drawn into the war from a peaceful life.

Now that Aslan learns of Kira's death, this guilt has reached its climax.

She almost avenged Kira by stabbing Aslan in her hand.

If it weren't for Aslan's infection by the grieving Cagalli, it was revealed that she and Kira were friends since childhood, maybe she would have really done it.

"Since you're Kira's friend, why kill him!" Cagalli asked with tears in her eyes.

"I can't help it! I have already persuaded him to come with me to Zaft. Aslan choked up and replied, "He's a tuner, it's strange to stay on the Union side!" Do you know how many of my compatriots died at his hands? And how many of his companions were almost killed by him? ”

"Damn." Yura let go of Aslan, "How many people will die in this ridiculous war before it ends?" ”

She remembered her father's teachings about the chain of hateful wars, and Kira and Aslan's story showed her how desperate that spiral of hatred could be.

The two of them are obviously good friends!

As a result, he had to fight to the death for one reason or another.

This kind of thing is too sad.

Seeing that Cagalli's mood seemed to have stabilized, Yura went over and put away her gun.

"Yura......"

Cagalli hugged Yura and buried her face in his arms, like a wounded child seeking comfort from her parents.

It was a strange feeling, but he comforted Cagalli, but he wasn't going to tell him that Kira was still alive for the time being.

Kira's death seems to have touched Cagalli so much that Yura hopes to make her understand more.

After calming Cagalli, Yura told her to go to rest first, and she stayed behind to talk to Aslan alone.

Aslan's condition seems to be much better than Kira's, except for the fracture of his right hand, there are no unnecessary injuries, and when he was found, he was in a coma only because of the exhaustion of his physical strength after a day of drifting, and he had eaten a lot better before.

"Introduce yourself." Yura found a chair and sat down across from Aslan, "My name is Yura. Rome. Ceran, the pilot of the Raptor that fought you all the way is me. ”

"But I left the Archangel after the Libyan desert, and you seem to have knocked my body down in the previous battle, but I don't know who was on it at that time?" Saying that, You stretched out his left hand, and saw Aslan hesitate, "What?" Reluctant to shake hands with an opponent you've been fighting with? ”

Seeing that Aslan still didn't react, Yura continued to talk to herself like a homely person, "Speaking of which, it doesn't seem like we're meeting for the first time, right? Remember the first time you returned to PLANT? I happened to see you in Spaceport at that time, but you probably didn't remember it. ”

"I really didn't expect it!" Yura shrugged exaggeratedly, "You just separated from Kira at that time, and you killed Kira when we met again. ”

The sudden words pierced Aslan's heart like a sharp blade, making him feel as if he was about to suffocate.

Seeing his painful appearance, Yura continued to ask, "How?" How does it feel to kill your best friend? ”

"Shut up, don't say any more." Aslan shouted as if he was running away.

Seeing that Aslan really seemed to be about to collapse, Yura stopped spurring him with the guilt of killing his friend with her own hands.

"Now, can you tell me how you feel about this war?" Jura waited for him to calm down a bit, and then asked again.

"What do you want to say, and what do you know?" Aslan gasped and retorted, "Are you trying to accuse us?" They were the ones who attacked first! ”

He didn't understand why this guy who claimed to have met for the second time was asking himself like this, was it because of Kira's death?

Because this guy has a good relationship with Kira, right?

So......

Kira's friends will grieve over Kira's death, but what about the Earth Army soldiers he killed before?

Is there anyone else who grieves for them?

Aslan suddenly didn't dare to think about it, he had always thought that his act of joining the army was sacred and justified!

But now there was a violent shake due to Kira's death.

Jura didn't say anything more, and Aslan's appearance was already shaken.

Let's do it now, but one day he will break free from the shackles of his father and the army, and become an indispensable and important combat force of the third force.

Aslan. Sara and Justice Gundam will be important cornerstones of world peace.

"Toru...... Stop up...... Aslan ...... Stop it! ”

Kira wakes up from a nightmare, and when he opens his eyes, the first thing he sees is an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Here?" Kira, who found that her body didn't seem to have any strength and couldn't move, asked weakly.

"Are you awake?" Mentor Marchio, who had been watching over him, pressed the button to call the doctor.

At the same time, he pressed Kira and admonished, "Don't move, your body hasn't recovered yet." ”

Seeing that Kira was still dazed, Mentor Marchio comforted, "Don't worry, you're in Orb right now, it's safe here." ”

Safe?

Orb?

These two words reminded him of his two dead friends, and tears flowed uncontrollably and soaked the pillow.

Bastard!

You two fools!

Why fly a fighter!

You died like this, what's the point of me fighting all this time?
