Chapter 4 On the Way Home

Chapter 3: The Battle Song of the Angels: Chapter 4: On the Way Home

The conversation with Aslan was not as easy as I had imagined, and there were too many doubts accumulated in the teenager's mind, not only about the relationship between the natural man and the adjuster. Kira, Law, Chairman Sarah, Lux, and I all instilled so much in him, but none of them noticed that he didn't have the ability to digest it. Aslan is still a very innocent teenager, at the age of sixteen, he has not experienced too many things, he himself does not have a firm set of beliefs and ways of thinking, compared to him, Kira is a little weak, but in terms of thinking may be much more mature than him, at least he already knows what he wants to do and is doing it firmly.

Aslan left with a stomach full of melancholy and doubts, and I suggested that he talk to Lux, and she was undoubtedly the most suitable person for this kind of explanation, but I regretted it a little when Aslan left. Although compared to Chairman Sarah and Law, Lux is undoubtedly much gentler and calmer, but from another point of view, several people have the same characteristic, that is, they are all unusually insistent on their beliefs, if Aslan is led from one extreme to the other, I am afraid it will not be a good thing.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that among the people around me, it seemed that I was the only one who had no position of my own, and was always in a state of swinging around, no wonder Lux and Law were always trying their best to win me over. Although I had a strict attitude of neutrality from the beginning, I watched like a bystander when everyone was doing their best for their own ideas, and I always felt a sense of alienation that seemed out of place in this era.

C.E.712/10

I boarded the shuttle to PLANT with Lux and Aslan at this sensitive time, and when I left, Law didn't come to see me off, he was busy making plans to intercept the Archangel, because time was more important than expected, and the Eighth Fleet of the United Earth Force had already driven out of the atmosphere at a speed never before before. Judging by the speed of the Archangel, the time for the two sides to converge should be around tomorrow afternoon. In other words, if Rau wants to make another interception, the time between today and tomorrow afternoon is the last chance. And the urgency of the fighter also brought me an unexpected benefit, the three of Yitzhak, who were busy cultivating and debugging MS, were not able to get a chance to contact me in the end, after learning that I was the one who brought them trouble and humiliation three times and twice, Diack and Nicol were very considerate and didn't say anything, but Yitzhak seemed extremely annoyed, if it wasn't for the two of them deadlifting, he would definitely rush directly to me and scold me.

After boarding the shuttle that Law had prepared for us, Lux picked a window seat and sat down, and Aslan and I smiled at each other before sitting behind her.

After a slight shaking, the shuttle flew smoothly into the universe, and Haro seemed to feel the atmosphere of home, jumping excitedly between the few of us, and finally provoked Ratty to join in, and for a while the cabin was filled with their funny-sounding electronic sounds.

After a while, Lux stretched out his hand and beckoned Haro back, and said with some reproach, "Okay, Haro, you should stay quiet until you get home, and don't disturb others." โ€

Aslan secretly looked at Lux and said a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, let it go, we don't know what to say along the way anyway." โ€

"In that case, let's find something to do." I propose to.

"Well, okay then." Lux put Haro on his lap: "By the way, Leonard, you haven't been back to PLANT for half a year, and you'll be surprised when you get back." โ€

"Yes, sir, last December the council passed an Environmental Modification Bill, which transformed the environment of the plant according to the natural process of the earth in the 16th century, and now all cities are full of large areas of trees and green spaces." Aslan answered very politely, and after finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at Lux, his eyes full of apprehension.

I can't help but recall the way the two of them used to get along, it always seemed that Lux was always chatting with interest about topics of interest to her, Aslan catered attentively, and occasionally sneaked a glance at that beautiful face from the corner of his eye. Now it seems that in the six months since I left, the relationship between the two has not changed much. Although Aslan has become much more crisp and decisive after experiencing the baptism of the battlefield, he has only changed from a preschool child to a first-grade elementary school student in front of Lux. I sighed in my heart, although I didn't know much about Lux's preferences, but I knew that she was a very independent and intelligent woman, and a guy like Aslan who was submissive in front of her might be regarded as a friend by her, but it was difficult to go further.

"By the way, Aslan, you're in red now, you don't need to call me sir anymore." I laughed suddenly.

"No, it's not." Aslan shook his head very firmly: "In any case, the commander is the senior who taught a soldier what a soldier should know when I didn't understand anything, even if I have gone to the battlefield today, but I still use the things given to me by the commander to fulfill my responsibilities as a soldier, these things can't be changed." Whether it's me, Izsรกk, Diack, or Nichol, I'm sure we all think so. โ€

I smiled wryly, "You may be fine, but that kid Yitzhak seems to be about to hate me to death, didn't you see his attitude just now that he was eager to rush over and punch me away?" โ€

"Sir, don't you know about Yitzhak?" Aslan smiled and said, "No matter how big it is, he will forget it all in a few days." I think he'll be dancing with joy the next time I meet him. โ€

We talked a little bit more about the separation, from Aslan and the others' lives at the non-commissioned officer school, to the few simple missions they carried out after joining the Cruz, and finally a series of experiences in the snatching of the MS and the pursuit of the Archangel in Heliopolis. Aslan told me that he was scared half to death after the shield was cut off by me, especially when Mu's Zero fired at him, he thought he was going to die there, and when he finally returned to the battleship, even the usually most smug Yitzhak was scared and weak, and he only crawled out of the cockpit of the duel with the help of others.

At the end, Aslan asked with some concern, "Sir, do you think Kira will be punished by the United Earth Army after letting you and Lux go without permission?" โ€

Looking at Aslan's nervous appearance, I was also a little moved, completely different from his father, Chairman Sarah, Aslan has always been a very emotional person, and everyone who gets along with him will be moved by his sincere emotions. These are completely different from the charm of Lux, who has a strong attraction that draws everyone's eyes unreservedly, like a dazzling sun, exuding endless brilliance. Aslan, on the other hand, has a soft trait that makes everyone who approaches him naturally feel good.

I comforted him, "Don't worry, now that I'm gone, the Archangel's combat power has dropped to its lowest point, and it's impossible for them to leave Kira's power." Moreover, the officers of the Archangel are not scheming people, and Kira will definitely be fine. "Speaking of which, I added to my heart that Malu and Mu are indeed not scheming people, but Ensign Bucky Lulu is not. However, this is the critical period for the Archangel to escape, and he can't mess with himself no matter what, and Lieutenant Bucky Lulu should always have this bit of proportion.
