Chapter 22: Estrangement

The second part of the helpless journey Chapter 22 is estranged

After saying goodbye to the four MS with only the torso left, Kira and Mu and I returned to the Archangel number. With mixed feelings, I opened the cockpit and rushed out without saying a word, heading straight for the warehouse door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Malu and Lieutenant Bucky Lulu looking at me with serious expressions, and Lieutenant Bucky Lulu still had a spark of resentment in his eyes.

"I'm tired, I want to go back and rest." I tried to get around them, but Lieutenant Bucky Lulu blocked the door before I did. I looked to the other side, and Malu was staring at me with a serious expression that she had never seen before, "Lesser, I need an explanation for what you did today. ”

"Explain?" I looked away, avoiding her gaze: "I flew the MS to help you fight to protect my friends. It's not my responsibility to kill people. ”

As if to escape something, I made no further excuses, and passed through the gap between the two men, and after I had left the distance, I could catch the whispered conversation of the two men beyond normal hearing.

"Captain, from the very beginning, I thought that Raysor Rogge was very suspicious, and judging by his past performance, he was definitely not an ordinary civilian. Shall we imprison him? ”

"This ......" Marpy hesitated for a moment, and finally rejected her proposal, "I don't think he has any ill intentions." Since he entered the Archangel number, there have been no suspicious actions, maybe he really just doesn't want to kill people today. ”

"Captain, the Archangel is in a very critical moment, and we must eliminate all possible factors that may cause danger." Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu said eagerly.

"It's better to do this, anyway, after entering the fortress of Arutamis, those civilians should leave the Archangel, and in this time, you can just call attention to him." Marco made a decision.

I wasn't surprised by Mahay's decision, and I would have chosen to do so in this case, but I still inevitably felt a little lost in my heart. In the few days I have been on the Archangel, I have gotten along well with everyone on the ship, and I put myself in the shoes of Captain Mario Ramias; the somewhat unruly but manly Captain Mur La Flagg; Uncle Cogello, the head of the maintenance squad who treats the young men on the ship as if they were children; Even the unkind and ruthless soldier Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, who, despite the fact that she made such and such opinions to me from time to time, handled the entire military affairs of the Archangel in an orderly manner, and made each of us feel more or less convenient. Being in such a warm environment for a long time, I seem to have a warm feeling of being lost, and the archangel number like a family reminds me of five years of military camp life, in the days with Carter and them, that kind of unwitting, sincere and enthusiastic life is the happiest time in my life, and the false happiness makes me deeply intoxicated by it, and gradually sink into it......

It wasn't until today that I woke up again, and when I think back on my life in the past few days, I feel like I'm dreaming. It's time for everything to end, no matter what, I'm a soldier of PLANT, and the people of the Archangel are people from two camps after all, and sooner or later there will be a day when we will meet each other.

With a sense of relief, I left the porthole where I had been meditating for a long time and walked into the dining room to comfort my somewhat hungry belly. It wasn't the time to eat, and there were only a few people in the restaurant talking in a dull voice. Because of the unknown future, their faces are full of worry and uneasiness, and the whole mental state of the whole person is in an inexplicable irritability. Dole, Millie, and the others gathered at the table in the corner, and when they saw me, they immediately beckoned me over. Several people, except for Frey, were wearing military uniforms, and they seemed to have somewhat concealed some of the immaturity that belonged to the students.

I looked them up and down, "Yes, it looks like a bit of a soldier." ”

"Where, where." While saying modest words, Dore tried to pretend to be a mighty soldier with his chest straight, but it was a pity that his lean body, which had few taels of flesh, looked like he was wearing a monkey.

"Stupid, don't show off there, you don't even have a military rank." Mi Li pinched him hard, and finally said longingly: "If you want to talk about military uniforms, they are still Zaft's good-looking, especially their women's red-level military uniforms, which are really beautiful." ”

Dole rubbed desperately where he had been pinched, and rolled his eyes at Millie, who had stars in her eyes.

Stuffy brought me a portion of food from the cupboard, "Eat, Lesser, you should be hungry too." Kira had already eaten it just now. ”

"Thank you." I took the plate, and suddenly I noticed that Frey, who was leaning on the plug, was looking at me with a look of resentment, and then glanced around, and several people looked at me strangely.

"If you have any questions, you can just ask them." I sighed and placed the plate on the table.

Dole and Millie looked away unnaturally and didn't say a word, and Kaz stole a glance at me from time to time, and sat with her head bowed. Sey looked at Frey, pondered for a moment, and asked me, "Doom...... Rayser. I heard you ...... today Released four MSs of the enemy troops, this matter ...... Is it true? ”

"It's true." I said calmly.

"Why, you knew that if you let them go, they will come to attack the Archangel next time." Hearing my admission, Sai asked me with a sword in his eyes.

"It's nothing, I just don't want to kill anyone." With a deep sigh, I gave a weak answer.

"You're lying." Frey, who was next to the plug, jumped out and pointed at me and shouted, "The adjusters are all in the same group. You monsters who wantonly change human genes and violate the laws of nature, you, you are all ......"

"Alright, Frey." Sai didn't expect Frey to be so excited, and took her in his arms. At this moment, there was a sudden soft sound, and I saw a bottle slowly rolling through the doorway.

"Kira, you're ......" Miri said as she stared at the door in surprise, a little embarrassed.

Kirakira at the doorway looked very lost, staring blankly at Frey struggling in Sai's arms, one hand still holding something.

"Kira, you...... You hear it all," Millie looked at him with some uneasiness.

"I'm just here to get some water." Grimly, Kira picked up a glass of water from the shelf beside her, and turned away a little sadly.

Sera grabbed Frey and drank sternly: "Frey, you went too far just now, apologize to Rayser and Kira immediately." ”

"Am I wrong?" Frey stubbornly said, "Isn't that what the adjuster is like that, what's wrong with what I'm saying?" ”

"You ......" Sey looked guiltily at Kira's departing back, a little overwhelmed.

There was a crisp sound of "pop".

Frey clutched her red and swollen cheeks and looked at Millie in disbelief as she stood in front of her with a cold expression.

"What are you doing? Miriaria. Sai shouted in surprise, Miri's shot just now was too fast, and everyone didn't react at all, and Frey had already been slapped in the face.

"Don't go too far, Frey." The expression on Mi Li's face is like a snowy mountain that will not melt for thousands of years, usually when she is angry, she usually shows a very clear look of anger, I never thought that this sunny girl would have such a side.

"Whether or not the adjuster is violating the laws of nature, it's not up to Kira and Rayser to decide. Even so, you are not qualified to say what you just said. Ever since Heliopolis, you, who have been hiding in a safe place alone, hiding under their wings who are fighting with their lives to protect everyone, Frey Alsta is not qualified to say such things. ”

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring girl in the field, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Milia Hawu, a girl I have known since half a year ago, and who has always seemed cheerful and lively, until this moment I realized that I had never really understood her, and when I was most lost, she showed the heroic appearance of a noble woman with her actions.

Suddenly, I found myself in a much better mood, and Millie's actions had an uplifting effect, and with such a friend, what else could I regret?
