Chapter 14: Reminiscence
Chapter 14 of the third angel's battle song
"It seems mysterious to come back this time, is there something inconvenient?" After the two sisters had been arguing for a while, Luna pulled me to sit on the couch and asked with concern.
The petite Meiling sat next to me, and then my sister's words echoed: "That's it, my sister has been inquiring about the proposed news almost every day, but she hasn't received any news." Luna's face immediately turned red again and glared at her fiercely, and Meiling stuck out her tongue and grimaced at her.
"There are a lot of inside stories about this matter, you still don't want to know better, that's not good for you." I shook my head and replied. The matter between the Speaker and the Chairwoman Sarah is too complicated to explain in a few words, and I don't want these two innocent girls to be involved in these shady things.
"Well, in that case, I won't ask." Luna nodded thoughtfully. This made me discover another good thing in her personality, that is, she is very knowledgeable, and she will never mess around with things that should not be asked.
"By the way, brother-in-law, you won't leave again when you come back this time, right?" The petite Meiling was already leaning on me, and then she took my arm and asked coquettishly.
"I shouldn't be leaving this time for a short time." I touched Meiling's little head dotingly, and her soft hair was very comfortable to touch: "In a few days, I will come here to be the instructor of the MS driving class of this military school, so that I can see Meiling often." ”
Meiling was touched by my hair, let out a comfortable hum, and said a little gloomily after hearing this: "It's a pity, I studied communication control, and we don't have MS driving courses?" But then she immediately became happy and excitedly exclaimed, "It's okay, my sister is majoring in MS driving and tactical command, so you can be together often." ”
"Hehe, then thank you for your blessings." I looked up at Luna, who blushed away from me.
For the rest of the day, we all recounted to each other about their lives after the separation, and Luna's story with Miling was simple: around the beginning of C.E. '71, on the eve of the events of "Bloody Valentine", Luna finally achieved her goal since childhood - to become a glorious Zaft soldier. Meiling had to enter the communication control major with a juvenile class because she was not old enough, and then the two have been living a tense and simple life in the military academy. In the process of Luna's narration, Meiling intersperses some interesting things that happened on campus with a crisp voice from time to time, such as Luna and she met two senior students who bullied Meiling when they came to sign up on the first day, and as a result, the two were beaten by Luna, and what happened next was the most interesting, one of these two was a strong boy named Wicker who worked hard and practiced his fighting skills hard from then on, and in the future, he came to Luna to challenge Luna once every two months on average, This war, which lasted for more than a year, is now a major victory known to the whole school, and every time the two make an appointment to fight, it attracts a large number of students to watch.
At the end, Meiling said to me mysteriously: "Brother-in-law, do you know this guy's idol? ”
I shook my head and smiled at Meiling who was playing in front of me.
"Huh." Meiling proudly raised her immature little chest and said, "Brother-in-law, you would never have thought of it, that benzene guy is your brother-in-law." His worship of the Bloodstained Angels is exaggerated, and he knows everything about you, and we have heard a lot about you from him. I really want to see his expression when he knows that his idol is his sister's fiancé. Meiling's tone was full of anticipation.
I'm a little interested in this student named Wicker, although my experience is not a high-level secret, but it is not something that two ordinary cadets can find out, Luna and they can inquire about me in such detail through this Wicker, it can be seen that this guy's identity is by no means simple.
"And there's more." Meiling continued: "That benzene guy actually got a set of brother-in-law's battle records out of nowhere, and practiced desperately according to your movements, and now he is the number one pilot in their grade, but no matter how much he practices, he is not as good as his brother-in-law." Meiling's eyes were full of adoration when she looked at me, and I also blushed a little.
I was even more surprised to hear this, unlike some simple news, the battle records are quite important internal secrets of Zaft, some important records are absolutely seamless, and the permission is a little lower than the qualifications to check it at all, this Wicker was able to bring it out blatantly, I can't help but raise the guess of his true identity a lot, it seems that it is necessary for me to meet with him, maybe it will bring me unexpected gains.
Putting the issue aside for a moment, I began to tell the two sisters about my life experiences over the years. What happened on the Aubudang spy and the Archangel must not be told, when I just stepped on the shuttle back to PLANT, the speaker and Zaft's gag order was placed in front of me at the same time, it can be seen that the two sides have formed a tacit understanding of this secrecy, after all, in what I did, whether it was infiltrating the Dawning Society to steal information or bringing back the designer of the latest weapons of the Earth Union from the Archangel, any one of them leaked out was enough to put Zaft under tremendous pressure on diplomacy, If it weren't for the fact that I am a valuable combat talent myself, and that I have gone through PLANT's perennial education and several years of military career, which is enough to reassure the high-level about my secrecy, I am afraid that I would have been silenced by the high-level long ago. So I'm talking mainly about my five years at Junius7, my friendships with Carter, Benjamin, Jim, and Campbell, and my subsequent studies at the Heliopolis Industrial School and the people I met there.
As I spoke, the two sisters just listened quietly. When talking about the interesting things about the life of the army, the two future soldiers clenched their little fists, their faces full of excitement, as if they were looking forward to their future life. When it comes to the fierce scene of the battle of Unius 7, Meiling has a scared expression on her face, Luna is full of worry, but there is a hint of excitement in her eyes, which shows the difference between the two sisters' personalities, although Meiling is innocent and lively, but she is a gentle and kind girl in her heart, and she will naturally be afraid when she hears such a barbaric thing as war, and Luna has a natural strength in her heart, and her personality is much more positive and brave than ordinary girls.
Then I said that Carter's body was injured and lost his mobility, and we asked for help from Fleg but was ruthlessly abandoned, Meiling said angrily: "This Fleg is really bad, we must not let him go." Luna nodded fiercely.
When he said that the bodies of several people had been destroyed one by one, and I was in the midst of a siege, Meiling's big crystal eyes had been covered with a layer of moisture, and Luna's eyes were a little red. At this time, my spirit was deeply immersed in the tragic and sad scene at that time, and I just told the past of those lovely comrades-in-arms, completely forgetting that there were two other listeners who were fascinated by the side. The two sisters were also very considerate and did not speak, quietly listening to these true stories that were hidden under the glory.
When the topic turned to Lux, the two sisters' problems suddenly became more, Lux is the national idol of the entire PLANT, and the two little girls are not exempt from vulgarity, digging up all the information I know about Lux, and finally Meiling asked me to ask Lux for a photo of her autograph.
For the rest of the day, the sisters' expressions changed as I spoke, the look of horror mixed with the joy I had when I had killed Fleg at the banquet, the gloomy and encouraging look on my face when I was exiled to Heliopolis, and the look on my way back to tease Jill with the desperate laughter on my return......
We talked for a long time on this day, and my mood showed that I had not felt more relaxed in a year. During this time, my experience could have been written into a legendary novel, but this legendary experience also put a heavy shackle on my heart. If I had been just an ordinary person, if I hadn't joined Zaft six years ago, would I be living a peaceful and harmonious life like Liogel, I often think about it.
Now I talk about these troublesome things in one go, and suddenly I feel a hearty sense of lightness.
