Chapter 31: Choosing and Helping
The beginning of the fourth angel battle, Chapter 31, Choice, and Help
My mind echoed what Andy had just said, but my thoughts were in a state of confusion. What he said seemed to make sense, but I felt that it was a little out of step with my own philosophy. Could it be that the military regulations of China in the past really did not apply in this era!?
"I don't know...... Is it true that a soldier is responsible? I don't know......" I said in a trance.
"Don't think about it anymore, you can't figure it out so quickly." Andy approached and patted me on the shoulder, smiling, "Go calm down, you're almost leaving." It's time for you to go back to P.L.A.N.T. ”
"Then I'll send you away, sir." Aslan said, then prepared to take me to the hangar.
"Hehe, boy, you're a wounded, so I won't bother you. Let's ask Miss Singer to send him off. Andy laughed and dragged Aslan back.
"I'm fine...... Aslan was about to say something, but suddenly found Andy making eye contact with him, and hurriedly changed his words: "Lux, then I'll trouble you." ”
"Yes. Leonard, come with me. With that, Lax led the way and left the bridge.
…… There was silence all the way, and on the way to the hangar, Lux didn't speak to me again. I didn't know how to speak, so I chose to be silent.
Suddenly, Lux stopped, turned to look at me, and said, "...... Leonard ...... Actually, I understand what you and Aslan just said. But...... Even if you understand...... Even if I'm not strong enough, I'm going to do it...... Because...... Because...... It is my father's wish to stop this war from happening......" said Lux's moving eyes, "Father...... He's gone...... I'm going to help him fulfill his last wish......" With that, Lux couldn't stop her tears, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"......" At the moment, I can't say anything. I reached out my hands and pulled her into my arms. My heart hurts when I look at the tears in Lux's eyes...... It hurts. I knew all I could do now was hold her tight. Feeling the sadness in the heart of the girl in my arms, the thought of guarding her for the rest of my life came to my heart, I shook my head, shook off this thought, tightened my arms, and lowered my head to comfort the crying Lux.
…………
I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, a shudder woke me up, and Lux felt it, and struggled out of my embrace, and Sakura glanced at me with a blushing face, realizing that I was looking at her too. Hurriedly turned around and turned on the communication with the bridge.
"What's wrong, what's going on? Andy. "As soon as the communication was connected, before Lux could speak, I plugged in to the communication screen.
"Suspicious!? Aren't you gone, boy? Andy asked.
"I was about to leave, but I was startled by the shock just now. What's going on? ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that it was intercepted by the Z.A.F.T's MS team." Andy said calmly.
"What!? For the encirclement? What is the number of MSs and what is the equipment!? "When I heard that the Eternity was surrounded, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Quantity 50, model Ginn, mostly D gear." Andy said.
"What!? Damn, with D equipment, it looks like they're trying to destroy the Eternity. Is there still an MS on board the battleship? "When I heard that it was Ginn with D gear, I was a little anxious.
"It's a pity that there are no other MSs on board this ship other than your collective." Andy said helplessly.
"Damn, while 50 Ginn isn't a lethal threat to the Eternity, it's still quite dangerous." I turned my head to see Lux looking at me with a little hesitation.
"Lux, do you want me to do it?" I casually turned off the comms, looked at Lux, and said softly.
"Well...... Ah, no. I know you're owned by Z.A.F.T, and you're going to have a hard time making your move. Lux nodded, then shook her head as if she had noticed something was wrong. I knew what was going on in her heart, she didn't want me to be me, she didn't want to make the other sacrifices on the Eternity, she must be struggling at the moment.
"Lux, I understand what you're worried about...... Indeed, it was a difficult choice. I don't want you to get hurt, so I'll help you. I looked at Lux and said lightly.
"Will you help me? Really!? Great, with your help, my father's legacy may be fulfilled. Lux said with some excitement.
"I'm sorry...... Lux, I think you're mistaken. I'm just helping you now. I'll still be back to P.L.A.N.T. I poured a handful of cold water on Lux.
“…… Are you still leaving...... Can't you stay!? Lux sighed, "You still can't let go of the P.L.A.N.T'......"
"I'm sorry, Lux. I am a soldier, I cannot betray the army to which I am loyal, and today I will help you, it has already violated my own scale. I said solemnly.
Hearing the serious words, Lux's eyes turned red again. Slowly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Leonard...... It's me who is so selfish that I only think about myself and don't take into account your feelings. ”
Looking at Lux's aggrieved appearance, my heart softened, and I sighed slightly: "There are some things I haven't thought through yet, maybe when I figure it out, I'll come to you." Or maybe I'll never figure it out. ”
Hearing my words, Lux's eyes became firm, he bit his lip, and said seriously: "Leonard, I will wait for you." Whenever you can figure it out, I'll be waiting for you. I ......"
I gently covered Lux's mouth and whispered, "Lux, what are you thinking...... I understand, I need time, okay? Don't push me to ......" With that, I gently grabbed Lux on the cheek and kissed her smooth forehead. Immediately, he turned and walked towards Knight.
"Leonard, I'll always be waiting for you. Stay safe. Lux admonished, and her voice sobbed.
I waved my hand back, but I didn't dare look back. I'm afraid I'll change my mind and stay when I see Lux's reluctant eyes. I got on the Knight and started up and was ready to leave.
Finally, looking at Lux under my feet through the monitor, I shifted my gaze and turned on the system to rush out of the Eternity. But Lux, who didn't know it, looked at Knight's departing figure, and tears flowed again.
