There was a sound of water in the bathroom.

Under the dim light, a delicate figure is stretching comfortably among the water curtains scattered by the shower.

In the mist, the long black and beautiful hair quietly fell off with the scattered splashes, revealing the beautiful long pink hair that was hidden by black. Audrey, no, it's supposed to be Lux now. I saw that her slender jade hand was hitting the faucet, but it had not been turned off for a long time.

With her head down, Lux, who was deep in thought, quietly watched the water mixed with a touch of jet black flowing towards the drain, and the scene from not long ago gradually appeared in her azure pupils.

It was an interview with the "Savior of Humanity" as a journalist.

Three days ago.

Under the official organization, a number of international media outlets were arranged to go to the 401 hospital one by one, and the interview with the legendary figure was carried out on the premise of using the photographic equipment provided by the government.

Not far behind in this interview, PLANT, which has a hostile relationship with the Earth Union at this stage, finally sent a team of journalists to participate in the interview after contacting and communicating with the Federation of East Asia.

Of course, the news outlet that Lux worked for in the capacity of Audrey Hepburn also had a share in this interview. Therefore, Lux also came to the scene as a participant. It's just that Lux subconsciously frowned when she saw the interview team from PLANT.

Because, she found that in the PLANT interview team, there were ZAFT soldiers who had protected her back then.

After secretly looking at the surrounding soldiers for a while, Lux finally fell silent, obeyed the staff's arrangement, picked up the camera equipment borrowed by the official one by one, and followed the large team into a park located in the depths of Hospital 401.

As the door opened, a slightly cold air came in.

While everyone couldn't help but tighten their collars, a gentle voice quietly sounded in everyone's ears.

"Welcome! Have a seat! ”

The people who heard the sound subconsciously raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came, but they couldn't help but stay in place.

The empty and bleak park, the sky full of fallen leaves, the slightly cold air, and the figure of the wheelchair sitting under the big tree, and the eyes with golden light flowing, but inadvertently making people feel an inexplicable, indescribable emotion.

"Savior?!"

"He's really?! Savior? ”

As soon as they saw that figure, many reporters subconsciously raised the brand-new, unfamiliar photographic equipment in their hands to capture the big tree, the wheelchair, and the quiet, but strong sense of presence figure one after another.

"Everyone! Ladies of the media, please enter in the order of order!! Please enter in the order of admission!! ”

The reporters' capture did not last long, and in less than half a minute, the surrounding staff reacted and carried out the evacuation work.

Although Lux, who was mixed in with the crowd, followed the crowd slowly and slowly walked to the interview area, her eyes were always on the figure under the big tree.

Although Lux had seen all kinds of information about this figure through various channels before she came, it was the first time that she had been in such close contact.

"He is inexplicable. The youngest general of the East Asian Federation, and even the Earth Union. In addition, he is also the partner of the popular singer Lin Mingmei, who was short-lived a few years ago. ”

After recalling the inexplicable information about Ho for a moment, Lux sat down in her seat and quietly watched the interview begin. Over the years, Lux, who has attended several official press conferences, has developed a deep understanding of the process of such press conferences.

She knew that in the beginning, it would not be her news media company's turn to speak, but her news media company's turn after the process of belonging to state media was completed. This is also true for his peers who sit on the left and right sides of Lux.

but

It doesn't seem like that's how the press conference will go this way.

Lux, who was looking down to adjust the camera equipment in her hand, suddenly noticed that the eyes around her seemed to be quietly converging on her, which made her feel an inexplicable pressure for a while.

"What's going on?" Lux frowned secretly and looked up, only to find that in addition to the eyes around her, there was another gaze watching her—eyes that could not be ignored were watching her quietly, like a god who saw everything.

"My identity has been revealed?! No, it's recognized! ”

Lux suddenly felt in his heart, forcibly suppressed the idea of fleeing the road, forcibly stood up according to the process, politely greeted He inexplicably, greeted the peers around him, and after reporting his identity, he started the interview.

The interview went well, but Lux's heart was cloudy.

Although those perceptive eyes didn't stay on her for long, Lux knew that he already knew her true identity. Even though He inexplicably seemed so powerless at this time that he could only be paralyzed in a wheelchair, he didn't know that he didn't have the ability to decide the life and death of everyone present.

Thankfully, the ordeal didn't last long. Just as it was about to be Lux's turn to speak again, a loud explosion suddenly burst through the air from the southeast of Hospital 401. Immediately after, a dark and dense mushroom cloud gradually rose into the sky.

For a moment, under the blue sky, the mushroom cloud was particularly dazzling.

When everyone was surprised by this, several bodyguards with solemn faces quickly turned out from the side, whispered a few words with He Inexplicably, and escorted He Inexplicate all the way back to the depths of the hospital without saying a word.

Witnessing this process, Lux secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She never expected that someone would be able to recognize her identity at a glance after she had fully disguised herself.

Savior...

Maybe it really exists, right?

Lux, who had followed the staff's arrangements for a safe evacuation, did not expect that the arrival of a staff member with an invitation letter would once again strain her nerves as she boarded the car back to the company.

And now, it is the day indicated in the invitation.

The invitation reads: "In three days, someone will come to greet you and leave for a new interview location." ”

No doubt.

In the heart of Lux, who has already recognized her identity, this invitation is undoubtedly a Hongmen banquet.

However, after much thought, Lux decided to go as promised.

Even in the face of the dissuasion of the Desert Tiger and others, who have been following her to this day, Lux still firmly maintained her decision.

"Gurgle, cluck."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss. I brought my clothes. ”

Immediately after, a gentle female voice also sounded outside the door.

Interrupted by the visitor, Lux turned off the faucet, casually removed the large towel placed on the elevated shelf, and covered up the figure that had lost its youth and matured, and then replied loudly.

"Good! Place on the table. I'll come out later. ”

The person who brought the clothes to Lux was Aisha, the companion of the Desert Tiger. During these years, Aisha has been taking care of Lux as a relative of Audrey Hepburn.

"Aisha. I'm sorry for you. Lux wiped her head as she walked out of the bathroom.

"Miss. This is what I should do. Aisha put down her clothes, looked back, and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Miss, your hair has faded." ”

Lux, who had expected it, shook her head and smiled slightly: "Re-dye." There's no need to be so nervous. Aisha. ”

"But, miss, you... Still decided to go? Aisha cautiously tested the seemingly weak but actually strong girl in front of her. My dear is already making arrangements for the evacuation. Wait, and we'll be able to leave the country. ”

Lux put down the towel in her hand, shook her head, and once again rejected Aisha's suggestion.

"No, I'm going. I have a hunch. Perhaps it won't be long before the world will once again be swept away by the flames of war. ”

"At that point, maybe only one person will be able to stop this."

The next day.

After refusing the secret entourage of the Desert Tiger and others, Lux, who was firm in his convictions, naturally got into a special car sent by He and drove towards the new interview location.

However, contrary to Lux's expectations, the place where the special car went was not 401 Hospital, but Capital International Airport. Even after the car arrived at the airport, Lux, who looked puzzled, saw Stella and Mayo standing there, waiting for her arrival.

"Here! Over here! Audrey. Stella pulled Mayo and waved at Lux.

Lux, who didn't know why, tightened her satchel and walked up the aisle in front of Stella and Mayo, smiling and saying hello. Scenes like this have been played out many times over the past few years. So Lux behaved naturally, even though she still had doubts in her mind.

And this was also seen by Stella.

"Audrey. Are you thinking about a good interview? Right? There was a sly glint in Stella's eyes, and there were very few opportunities to trick Lux, so this opportunity in front of her must not be missed.

"Huh? You know I'm going to do an interview? Lux paused for a moment, then looked at Stella with a playful smile, and then at Mayo, who was pursed her mouth tightly and posed as if I didn't speak.

However, when Lux thought about it, she immediately guessed Stella and Mayo's intentions.

"I said, Stella, Mayo, aren't you two going to space? How did this come back? Is it too bad? Kicked down by an instructor? ”

"Nonsense! It's obviously the big brother who is back..." As soon as Mayu, who was tightly pursed, opened her mouth, she immediately realized that she had slipped her mouth. So Mayuna's little white face was quickly overtaken by a flush.

Seeing this, Stella sighed. "Mayu, you're too easy to be tricked into!"

“EMMMM···” Mayo's head was buried even lower.

"Huh. Stella, don't blame Mayo. It's me who is bad. Mayu's mouth has always been tight, but because we are good friends, Mayo didn't think much of it. Lux defended Mayu.

Stella spread her hands and said, "Forget it." Just trying to tease Audrey you. Mayo, all right! Time's up. It's time for Audrey to meet her big brother too. ”

"Hmm. So, Audrey, let's go! Mayu nodded, then took Lux's right hand and walked towards the airport.

Looking at the figures of Stella and Mayo, the haze in Lux's heart seemed to gradually dissipate.

"With them here, maybe I didn't gamble my life this time to act."
