Lear was silent, he knew what Aina meant, after all, when she was at SIDE4 that day, Aina was also there, she knew what she wanted to do at the time, frankly, Lear was a little nervous at first, for fear that she would report her words and deeds that were similar to betrayal at that time, but who knew that she helped herself hide it.

The Sakhalin and Alksteens were not friendly families, but she cared for herself.

"You're such a good man, Sakhalin." He said sincerely.

"Good guys?" Aina smiled, her eyes filled with gloom: "Me? ”

"Well, you're a good man, Sakhalin."

"You're wrong, Lieutenant, you're the real good guy compared to me, Lieutenant."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Lieutenant, when you're at SIDE4, you want to save people, right?"

“。。。。。。” Lear was silent for a moment, but still said honestly, "Yes." ”

"You know the consequences of that, right?"

“。。。。。。 Yes, I know. ”

"That's the difference between us, Lieutenant, you know what the consequences of doing this will be, but you still desperately want to save people, and I, although I do feel angry when I know what happened, flinched at the thought of the result."

She can't let her brother be implicated because of herself.

"In comparison, I can only say that it is。。。。。。 Hypocrisy? ”

She smiled wryly and said, "It should be like this." ”

"I'm not a good person, and I don't think Sakhalin is a hypocrite, if a person is not willing to do anything that might hurt them because he cares about his relatives and friends," Lear shook his head and said, "Who can say that such a person is not a good person?" ”

"On the other hand, if a person wants to do something and does not hesitate to harm the people closest to him, even if that thing is right and necessary, we can only say that he is a righteous person, but he cannot be considered a good person." He said, smiling bitterly.

"So I'm probably not a good person."

He lifted his spirits: "And you haven't killed a single person even on the battlefield so far, I think this can already show that you are a good person." ”

"How do you know I'm not killing anyone?" Aina retorted.

"You can see from the weapon test report you submitted," Lear smiled, "The most reported are MS Shield's, but the data is too detailed." ”

"You helped your teammates block a lot of bullets, didn't you?"

Aina didn't speak.

"Then there is the report of the new machine gun, I only saw the data of the gun itself at the time of shooting, but I did not see the report of the actual combat sabotage test."

Lear said, "You fired, but you didn't aim at the enemy." ”

"It's just that there's no need for that, and the new machine gun isn't any different from the old one in terms of power, so I didn't write it down."

"That being said, the sabotage test is also part of the field test, and I don't want to mention that," Lear retorted, "You haven't submitted a report on the thermal saber yet." ”

“。。。。。。” Aina was silent.

"You haven't fought with it at all, have you?"

"It's just hypocrisy," Aina said lightly, "It's not so much good intentions as the inability to make up your mind to kill." ”

"No, I think you're amazing, although the battlefield evaluates soldiers by the efficiency of killing, but I think you will never hurt others even in the face of danger to your life, you are really powerful," Lear said sincerely: "On the battlefield, it is much harder not to kill than to kill." ”

"If a man who risks his life to help his comrades and is unable to kill the enemy because of his kindness is considered hypocrite," Lear said, "then I would rather all the people in the world be hypocrites." ”

"Lieutenant, you're such a strange fellow," Aina laughed suddenly, "It's the first time I've seen officers who persuade their men not to kill, and they usually encourage their men to kill as much as possible, right?" ”

"Strange fellow, perhaps," Lear laughed, and he thought the girl was an interesting person, "but in the eyes of a serious soldier, whether it is a commander who tells his subordinates not to kill, or a subordinate who is unwilling to kill, is a strange, even unforgivable fellow." ”

"Probably weirdos are always attracted to each other, Captain Sakhalin."

"Call me Aina, it's rare for two weirdos to get together, let's get along," she said with a smile, "It's only for a short time, but I think we can probably become good friends." ”

Lear paused for a moment, then said happily: "Okay, Sakhalin。。。。。。 Aina, you too, just call me Lear. ”

"Well, okay, Lear。。。。。。。" Aina said, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

"Don't force it if you feel embarrassed, my fault, I'm a little carried away," Lear saw Aina's embarrassment, and said, "It's a little too long, but it's okay to keep calling me Alkstein." ”

"No, that's not what I mean," Aina said after a moment's hesitation, "It's just that I haven't had any male friends of the same age in the past, so I've never called other men by their names." ”

"Just let me get used to it."

Even Lear was a little embarrassed at this time, of course he knew that he had no special thoughts of Aina, and he might have been vague in the past, but now he did see her as an interesting friend and not any other identity, and he also knew that Aina did not mean that way.

But how to put it, the air of embarrassment just spread between the two of them, and Lear racked his brains to wonder if he could open the situation at such a time.

But everyone may know that usually at this time, they can't think of anything, which can only make people fall into silence and be more embarrassed.

"That, that, I still have some things to do over there, I'll see you later," but it was Aina who spoke first, her face was slightly red, although it was not particularly obvious, but it was still understood by Lear, "Well, Lieutenant Lee, Lear." ”

"Okay, I'll see you later, Aina." Lear finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he nodded.

After Aina finished speaking, she turned around as if she had fled from the desert.

"Are you elementary school students?" Just as Aina's figure disappeared and Lear breathed a sigh of relief, a playful laugh came from behind him.

Lear subconsciously looked back, the riotous red military uniform, the strange pointed helmet.

It was Char Aznabul.

Strange to say, Lear had a great contradiction with this person in the past, no, it can't be said to be a contradiction, it can only be said that they don't like each other, but now, Lear sees Char, but he doesn't have that kind of feeling, but feels an indescribable sense of intimacy.

He showed a refreshing smile, and said with sincerity that made Char feel a little sweaty, "It turned out to be you, Char's senior." ”

"You're fine."

"Did you have a bad stomach? Alkestein? Char frowned and said, he couldn't accept Lear's change of attitude, after all, he was used to getting along with Lear-for-tat, arguing with each other.

He thought that Lear would frown and say in disgust, 'Tsk, it's you, Char's senpai' or something.

Just like it was not so long ago.

Lear also knew what Char meant, and he could only smile bitterly and say, "It's just to give up some meaningless entanglements." ”

"There are no eyes on the battlefield, although our relationship is not particularly good, but after all, there is also the friendship of classmates, is there anything strange that I am happy to see you safe and sound?"

It's because I think it's strange that I say this, Char glanced at Lear and said, "Forget it, then again, you have a pretty good relationship with the young lady of the Sakhalin family, and you have reached the point of calling your name directly?" ”

"Where did you start eavesdropping, Char-senpai?" Lear said with some unhappiness that although he is no longer obsessed with some minor contradictions as he used to, he will still feel unhappy if his conversation with others is overheard.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop," Char spread his hands and made an innocent gesture, "I just happened to see you here, so I came over to say hello." ”

"As for hearing your conversation, it was a pure accident."

"I just saw the two of you looking at each other affectionately there, and then intimately calling each other by name."

Where to start? Lear was a little relieved that Char should not have known about the previous conversation that was not very motifty, so he feigned displeasure and wanted to divert the topic.

"Senior Char, I'll forget it, Aina is an unmarried woman, don't talk nonsense."

"What's the matter, you're already a hero of Zeon, aren't you, and there will definitely be many girls who will like you in the future," Char said something that wasn't very serious, but for some reason, Lear didn't think he had a smile, but he was wearing that mask, and Lear couldn't notice anything: "You've always been quite popular, haven't you, who knows how many women you'll have in the future." ”

As I have said before, the great names of the cosmic century are all big followers of 'polygamy', especially the most remote colonies of SIDE3, such as Zeon Dyken and Deggin Sodo Zabi, who don't even have the slightest intention of hiding like the politicians of the Western era, and the values of the cosmic century do not condemn their private lives.

This actually has historical origins, although monogamy is still the mainstream of human civilization in human society, especially on Earth, infidelity is still condemned, whether it is the Earth Federation or Zeon, the crime of bigamy still exists.

But in the cosmic colonies, because of the spread of atheism and the extremely short average life expectancy of the early colonists, the values of short life and timely pleasure were generally accepted.

Coupled with the green religion that originated in polygamy and the Eastern religions that were not particularly opposed to polygamy, polygamy (whether polygamy or polygamy, or even families formed by an indefinite number of men and women) was subjected to the same moral pressure as in the Western era.

In fact, polyamorous families are not legally recognized, but they are also not morally condemned.

Such families are not a common phenomenon, but they do exist, especially in the upper class of Zeon, and it is even popular in a sense.

"You're over there, Char-senpai," Lear frowned, as a traverser he was not particularly able to accept this phenomenon, as a man, of course, he had a desire to possess women, but he was not the kind of waste who let his desires sway, his sense of morality and conscience made him unable to accept this kind of thing, in fact, he would rather spend his life with a specific person who knew each other than having a large harem with a lot of names and faces: "I'll forget it." ”

Unexpectedly, Char nodded and said, "This is good, it is your obligation to be loyal to your fiancée." ”

What is this person talking about, Lear is completely inexplicable, is there some subtle connection in this conversation?

But loyalty, that's really a word that doesn't have anything to do with me.

I guess it's disloyalty.

"What do you mean?" Lear asked blankly.

"Who knows." Char smiled mysteriously.

Be all abroad.

However, Lear didn't want to dwell on his words, and it would be endless if he had to sort them out one by one, so he said casually: "Char-senpai, what are you doing here?" ”

I didn't mean anything else, I just mentioned it casually.

"Adaptive training, a few laps around a little bit, after all, civilians like us need credit if they want to get ahead."

"I'm counting on taking out more Federation soldiers, it's important to stay in good shape."

"That's right," Lear said, nodding, "Come on, then." ”

Who knew that Char looked at him with some surprise: "Alxstein, why do you feel that you have changed a lot?" ”

"What did you say?" Lear glanced at Char inexplicably.

"You may not have noticed it yourself, but your current attitude is very different from your past attitude," Char said: "In the past, as long as others talked about war or meritorious service in front of you, your attitude would change subtly. ”

"It's hard to describe, I should say it's like 。。。。。。 Compassionate? ”

"Whenever anyone talks about this in front of you, you don't seem to change, but in fact you always have a disdain for people, as if 'you are all wrong, only I am right,' and 'I am special.'"

"Yes, it's arrogance."

Yes, Lear couldn't help but smile bitterly, this description of the guy is really full of nasty elements, but not long ago I did feel a little like that, I always felt that in this war, the people of Zeon were stupid, and the people of the Federation were also stupid, and they couldn't grasp the key points of the problem.

The black history that is unbearable to look back on.

"Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but you can't hide it from me," Char said, squinting his eyes if we could see his face directly through the mask, "but don't try to hide it from me." ”

Looking down on others, thinking that everyone is stupid, but having good talent and status, like a foreign body that is out of step with the world around him, this is Char's true feeling about Lear.

"After all, you've had a similar attitude every time you've seen me in the past."

"Did something happen?"

"Actually, it's nothing," Lear smiled bitterly, "It's just that I suddenly discovered that I can't manage as many things as I imagined, and my ability is not as strong as I imagined." ”

"What I want to do is more difficult than I imagined, and I can only try to do what is in front of me as much as possible."

"It's already great to be able to do your own thing well, but where is the energy to take care of other people's affairs?"

"Before criticizing others, you have to do your own thing."

"I didn't understand this until I was at this age, I really lived for so many years in vain."

"The degree of change in your attitude is really amazing." Char couldn't help but say.

"I've grown a little bit too, not always so naïve," Lear waved his hand, ready to leave the place, and he wasn't idle enough to have a long chat with Char: "I'll go first, Char-senpai, we'll see you later." ”

"If neither of them died."
