Interlude: Old Friends (2)

"Huh?" Lear was scolded inexplicably: "What do you say? ”

"Why don't you want them to know, and you don't want to implicate them, you just don't believe them, right?" Reinstein said mercilessly: "Family members are meant to help each other and support each other, right? Don't you believe they will support your ideals? ”

"Or are you just indulging in the self-satisfaction of sacrificing for your family and fighting alone?"

"I don't have a reason for you to say that," Lear said coldly, "and what do you say I should do?" ”

"Tell my father, who has been working hard for Daken's ideals all his life, that all his ideals are wrong, and that I want to completely destroy his ideals?"

"Involve Maggie, who could have spent her life in peace, in a revolution that could have died at any time?"

"If I do that, I'm being irresponsible to them, right? Because I am a family member, there are some things that I understand and they may not know, so for the sake of their lives, I can do these things alone, and success is naturally easy to say, even if I become a stepping stone to the revolution, their lives will not be affected more, so why involve them? ”

"It's just sophistry," said Reinstein, shaking his head, "they were already at the center of the revolutionary maelstrom from the moment you joined the revolution, and in that case, it is better to tell them what happened." ”

"I'm not going to do that." Lear said stubbornly, full of the meaning that he was not ready to continue talking about the topic.

"Anything else? Instructor Ryan Stein? Lear said, "If not, I have some other things to do on my side." ”

Full of eviction.

"Nope." Since Lear wasn't prepared to take his opinion, Reinstein wasn't going to continue, after all, he had known Lear since he was a child, and knew how stubborn Lear was before hitting the south wall.

However, before hanging up the correspondence, he asked as if something had suddenly occurred to him, "By the way, I heard that you are getting married?" ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing, it's just a little awkward," Ryanstein sighed, "The younger brother actually got married before me, that's all." ”

"That's your own problem, right?" Lear couldn't help but complain, he didn't carry this pot.

"Which lady is it for?" Lear only felt a glint in Ryanstein's eyes.

Is this guy's premise? Lear thought to himself and said, "It's the eldest lady of the Mars family, and her name is Serra." ”

"The Mars family? Serra? Ryanstein asked, confused, as he had the impression that the Mars family did not have daughters.

"Yes, you know?" Lear asked.

"I don't know, it's just like I've heard of this guy for the first time," Reinstein asked, "What about Maggie?" What are you going to do? Married to be a side room? ”

"What's going on with Maggie?" Lear looked puzzled: "It's me who gets married, not her." ”

He ignored Reinstein's meaning: "She's just my maid, and it's her own choice who she wants to marry, and I will bless her whoever she chooses." ”

"Wait, aren't you going to marry her?" Ryanstein looked surprised and said something to this guy: "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course not, I'm already engaged to Serra, my dad is in a hurry, and I feel like I'm still getting along with Serra, so I guess I'll get married in a while."

"Since I'm going to marry Serra, it's naturally impossible to be with Maggie," he felt a subtle throbbing pain in his chest when he said this, so he frowned and rubbed his chest: "For me, she is like my sister, and I can't tolerate her marrying the same person with another woman." ”

It's the same even if that person is himself.

In the past, he didn't understand what kind of mood this was, but now he understands it more or less, after all, he is not really dull and stupid, just because he used to focus on other aspects and did not really think carefully about this aspect, even if he said something like wanting to talk about a vigorous love, it was just casual talk, and he didn't really put it into action.

After all, he now skips the love stage and has a fiancΓ©e directly, which is considered to be a study, and some questions can be understood if you think about it, after all, the basic intelligence value is there, and if you still look dull and stupid, it will make people feel weird.

He understood something now, but pretended not to understand.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Forget it," Ryan Stein was speechless at this guy, he and Lear were like-minded, but he wasn't prepared to get too involved in each other's lives, so he said, "It's your own business, you decide." ”

"That's how it should be," Lear said without hesitation, "That's it, we'll see you next time, Reinstein." ”

He changed his title again.

"See you next time."

The communication was hung up, and Lear stood up, feeling a swelling all over his body, and he stretched heavily, making a sound that he didn't know if it was comfortable or uncomfortable.

"Goo~" He only felt a throbbing pain in his stomach, probably reminding him that he should eat, and that should be the case, so Lear walked out the door, ready to go to the Leipzig's cafeteria to find himself something to eat.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Maggie coming from not far away.

The moment he saw Maggie, his body stiffened.

However, Maggie seemed to be casual, and she habitually frowned and straightened up the clothes that had been messed up by Lear just now, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? ”

"Are you doing something bad?"

"The clothes are not well organized."

"No," Lear unconsciously brushed Maggie's hand away, he didn't notice Maggie's expression darkened, "It's just a little surprised to see you come back so soon." ”

"It's just a trip back to Zim, and it's not far, it's all at once." Maggie took two steps back and said.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing back to Zim?" Lear thought it was Maggie's private affair, so he didn't bother to ask.

"What are you doing all day?" Maggie raised an eyebrow, an action almost exactly like Lear did, "You don't have a job at all today, right?" ”

"I'm going back to Zim to coordinate the technicians sent by the Zeonnick side," Maggie said helplessly, "I've already put the official document in the part of the document you want to deal with today, right?" You didn't watch it at all? ”

"Huh? Is that so? Ah, yes, it seems like that! Well, I remembered! Lear snorted, he couldn't have said that he had spent the whole day working on the illegal organization today, and he hadn't read a single page of the Zeon Army's documents.

"You definitely didn't look at it." Maggie said firmly, as soon as Lear's eyes rolled, she knew what bad things Lear was going to do, and she wanted to hide this kind of thing from her?

"No, don't mention this, by the way, what are you talking about the technicians at Gionnick, tell me about it." Lear asked a random question.

"Didn't you just say you had read the papers?"

"Hmmm! It's a bit vague, though, after all, I've worked so hard today that I've read too many documents, so I can't remember some things clearly," Lear said flatteringly, "Remind me." ”

Effort is effort, but it is not effort to do the work of the Zeon Army.

"It's really 。。。。。。。" Maggie still didn't dig into it after all, she glanced at Lear and said: "The Technology Development Bureau asked Zeonnick to send experts to form a team of experts to conduct combat tests on new MS and new technologies, and the lord thought that he would send people anyway, so he simply sent you here, and this request was also approved by Albert Scharnhorst, Director of the Technology Development Bureau, and the newly established Zeonnick Field Technical Test Force will be attached to this force." ”

"After that, there will be some new trial MS that will be assigned to this unit, which will help you somewhat, my lord thinks so."

"I came here as the representative in charge of communication with the Technology Development Bureau on the Gionnick side, so I was awarded a military rank, you don't think I entered the army by bribery, do you?"

"It's not just your lieutenant, but my main job is over there."

"Thisβ€”That's it." Lear really didn't have a deep understanding.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Maggie smiled and said, "By the way, in addition, I also brought you something." ”

"I didn't have time to give it to you because I commissioned the workshop at SIDE5," Maggie said, "I brought it with me when I returned to Zim this time." ”

"What's that?" Lear asked, confused, as if it didn't sound like weaponry.

Maggie takes out a red box from her pocket, the kind used for jewelry, and seeing this, Lear has a bad premonition.

He silently took the box and opened it, inside was a pair of simple but by no means ordinary rings, the materials and craftsmanship are the best, larger than ordinary rings, the worry will not be so big as to hinder the movement of the diamond set in the center of the ring (Note 1), the ring itself is not too cumbersome or ornate ornamentation, but the overall look is indeed just right, low-key luxury.

He picked up the ring and looked at it, and inside the inner ring of the ring were two names engraved on them: Lear and Serra.

I really don't want what I got from Maggie, Lear smiled bitterly in his heart, but asked with a puzzled face, "What is this?" ”

"Your engagement ring," replied Maggie, without the slightest hesitation or gloom on her face, "the next time you see Miss Mars, give it away." ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Ah, I see. Lear said with a smile.

That's it.

Lear has also grown, and he is now able to control himself more steadily than he used to show his displeasure on his face.

After all, you see, he is the kind of person with high performance, and his learning ability is also top-notch.

"By the way, I'm going to go eat something, do you want to come along?" Lear asked, digressing the subject.

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Maggie said with a frown.

"Well, do you want to go along?"

"Forget it, I've already eaten," Maggie said, looking at Lear's somewhat haggard face, "Go and rest when you're done, I'll take care of the documents for you." ”

"Oooh! Then please. ”

"Okay, hurry up and go to dinner, don't spoil your body."

"Oh, then I'm leaving."

With that, Lear walked towards the cafeteria without looking back, and behind him, the sound of the door being opened was heard, and Maggie entered his room.

Maggie is by her side, taking care of herself, reminding herself, spurring herself, and always coming to help her when she is in trouble.

It's the same as usual.

But I don't know how long it will last.

It's almost time to learn how to live independently.

Lear thought.

Note 1: Because engagement rings are different from wedding rings and are not long-term jewelry, generally speaking, engagement rings are set with larger gemstones than wedding rings, not for the purpose of showing off.
