The moon base and the Sixth Military Port were busy.

Space warships with varying battle damage have entered the port one after another, and the control tower of the port is frantically busy, fully mobilizing personnel to repair and maintain these warships.

In the battle of low orbit, the Eighth Fleet desperately covered the landing of the Archangel.

Although he managed to escape from the pursuit of the Zaft army after that, he still suffered a great blow.

The number of surviving ships was less than a third of what it had been at full strength, and none of them were intact.

On the bridge of the Menelaos, Commander Halbarton laughed at the horror of the Eighth Fleet.

The Plan G, which he had been pushing hard, was finally proven in actual combat, but unfortunately it came at the cost of the ruthless fact that the Eighth Fleet was almost completely wiped out.

How sad it is to use the sacrifice of one's own troops to test one's own military theories.

Thinking of those colleagues who died at the gunpoint of the Gundam, Halbottom's heart tingled.

"Commander, I'll take care of the rest, you go and rest first."

Colonel Hoffman persuaded.

"I'm fine." Halbarton shook his hand.

After a pause, he asked, "Is there good news for the Archangel?" ”

"This ......," Hoffman looked unspeakable.

"It doesn't seem like good news." Halbarton smiled wryly, "Say, I'm not that fragile yet. ”

"Yes." Colonel Hoffman nodded and spoke slowly: "Due to the last-minute attempt to rescue the Strike Gundam, which could not return, the Archangel deviated from the scheduled landing trajectory and finally fell in the Sahara Desert. ”

"That's the Zaft's sphere of influence." Halbarton sighed, "I didn't expect to pay such a price, but I still didn't achieve my goal." ”

He could already foresee that the military headquarters was now presumably in turmoil over how to deal with its own problems.

I hope that Vice Foreign Minister Astar, who has experienced the rescue operation of the Archangel by the Eighth Fleet throughout the whole process, will be able to make a difference.

——

Deep in the Sahara Desert, behind a certain sand dune, the Archangel who has just landed on Earth is hidden here.

In the hangar.

"Ahh

Mu, who was debugging Airmaster 2, looked at the tattered attack and sighed.

"After all, it was in that situation that it burst into the atmosphere." Sergeant Maddock, who was under his command to repair the attack, said: "But don't look miserable, the important parts inside are not broken at all, and you can attack again with a little repair." ”

"It's a good mech." Mu touched his chin and said.

Watching the eyes of the strong attack gradually deepen, following the Archangel all the way, he was already deeply unable to do so.

Wouldn't it be nice to have one more MS that a natural person could drive at this time......

"How's the little ghost?" Uncle Madoc asked.

"Still in a coma with a fever, his little friends are taking turns to take care of him." Mu said, "I hope he can recover soon, this is the sphere of influence of the Zaft army, and if we are attacked now, we will not even be able to fight back." ”

"That's right." Uncle Madoc nodded, and then yelled at his men who were repairing the attack, "Speed it up for me, make sure you get the attack done before the imp wakes up." ”

After speaking, the head of the preparation class rolled up his sleeves and joined in the intense work.

Living area, Kira room.

Because the pilots of the Earth Union all have the rank of second lieutenant at the least, Kira, who is a raid pilot, is different from his friends and is assigned his own separate room.

Now he was lying in his bed, still in a coma.

Milia gave the towel cold water, then dried it and reapplied it to Kira's forehead.

"You're so lucky, even I haven't enjoyed Millie's care so much." Thor on the side saw that his girlfriend took care of Kira, and couldn't help but complain to Kira in a coma.

Milia hit her boyfriend on the head with a knife, "When is it, it's still so indecent." ”

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Thor immediately begged for mercy, then looked at his girlfriend's dark circles and comforted, "Don't worry, Kira is an adjuster, nothing will happen." ”

"That's right......" Miliaria bowed her head and said, "but I always feel that I haven't done enough for him, if he hadn't protected us all the way through, I'm afraid we would have ...... long ago."

"I feel the same way about this." Thor patted his girlfriend on the shoulder, "This guy is so hard, he's almost finished several times, and sometimes I'm really ashamed of myself hiding on the bridge." ”

As she spoke, the door to the room opened, and Frey, dressed in military uniform, walked in.

"It's time for the shift change, so let's go and rest first."

"Oh." Thor was stunned as she watched Frey walk in alone.

"What's wrong?" Frey asked curiously.

"No, nothing." Milia pulled Thor out of the room, leaving Frey alone to take care of Kira.

After leaving the room, Miliaria hammered Thor, "Why are you acting so strangely?" ”

Thor whispered to his girlfriend: "I just didn't expect Frey to take the initiative to take care of Kira, if that kid knew about it, I'm afraid he wouldn't wake up happily immediately." ”

"What's so strange!" Milia pushed away her boyfriend's face that was too close, "Frey, she's not bad by nature, and she wasn't very friendly to Kira before because she didn't come into contact with the adjuster again. She'd been on the bridge all this time, just like us, and knew how much risk Kira had taken to protect us. ”

Thor thought for a moment, and then asked gossipily, "You said that it is possible for Frey to like Kira because of this, and you also know that she and Sey are only matched by elders." ”

"I don't know." Mirialia shook her head, "But my gut tells me Kira doesn't stand a chance." ”

After Miliaria and Thor left, only Frey and Kira were left in the room.

Originally, she and Sey were supposed to take care of Kira at this time, but Sey was temporarily left to work by Ensign Bucky Lulu, so she had to come alone.

Originally, she still had some concerns about taking care of Kira alone, but she couldn't stand her boyfriend's please, so she had to come alone.

"Really, I know Kirakira." Frey suddenly whispered in a little irritation, "Aren't you worried about your cute girlfriend at all?" ”

Hum...... I actually asked my girlfriend to share a room with another man, so don't blame others if something happens.

Frey complains about her boyfriend in her heart while taking care of Kira.

It's pretty cute.

Frey looked at Kira's delicate face, wondering why this thought popped into her head.

This pure baby-like sleeping face......

It's really hard to connect the current Kira with the powerful pilot who piloted the assault to protect everyone along the way.
