The rich, indescribable aroma of coffee spreads quickly throughout the room with the stirring of hot water. The man, known as the Desert Tiger, was happily pouring his coffee evenly over the cup.

"I'm still pretty confident about the coffee side of things. Would you like a drink? ”

Although Graham learned that he was his current enemy after the man in front of him revealed his true identity, Graham smiled calmly in the face of the coffee handed by the enemy, raised his hand and took it.

Looking at the guy who should have refused his kindness, he calmly took the coffee and took a sip without any psychological hindrance. "It's a frank and respectable opponent!"

Needless to say. As battle-hardened warriors, Graham and the Desert Tiger saw through each other's roots in a short split second. There is no doubt that in this moment, both sides are labeling the same as each other at the same time.

"Hahaha! Joyfully! Bartfield laughed, then raised his hand to pick up another cup of coffee on the table and handed it to the young man who was watching. Come! Juvenile. How about you give my craft a try? ”

Kira hurriedly thanked her and then took it. However, he seemed to be a little worried about the coffee in the cup, and for a moment he did not drink it like Graham did.

"Teenager. Give it a try! Graham raised his glass, gestured to Kira, and said slowly, "Undeniable." Your coffee reminds me of my best friend. ”

"Oh?" Bartefield seemed surprised by Graham's words. "Is that really the case? Then I'm so honored! In the final analysis, the so-called coffee should not only be fragrant, but also memories. ”

"I feel the same way." Graham chimed in.

"Haha! Come! Barterfield laughed and saluted Graham, as if the liquid in the glass was not coffee but a rich wine. In the middle of his head, the still hot cup of coffee was drunk by Barterfield.

"Refreshing!" Graham gave a thumbs up, and finished his cup of coffee in one gulp, just as Barterfield did.

Barterfield gave a thumbs-up as he picked up the coffee that had not yet been poured. "Would you like another drink?"

"I can't ask for it."

At this moment, it is not a good wine, but it is better than a good wine. In this short quarter of an hour, the two of them, who were both warriors, actually sympathized with each other. It's fateful!

While Graham and Barterfield were in the middle of their conversation, Kira, who had no way to interject into the conversation between the two, could only start roaming the room with the seemingly bitter cup of coffee.

The room was big and beautiful. This was Kira's first impression of this room. Western-style décor and reasonable and comfortable furnishings make this room look luxurious and elegant. If you are a vassal and elegant person who comes here, you will definitely boast that this place is a paradise that is not found in heaven and on earth. However, the three people currently in this room are either battle-hardened warriors or ignorant teenagers.

Suddenly, aimlessly, looking around, his gaze fell on the small stone placed in the center of the wall. And the young man who had been there for a long time also diverted the attention of the two who were talking.

Barterfield greeted Graham with his coffee, and then stepped behind Kira. "Evidence 01."

Looking at Kira, who turned around after hearing his voice, Barterfield spoke again and asked, "Have you seen the real thing?" ”

Kira shook her head.

Barterfield glanced down at the cup in Kira's hand, which was still full of coffee, and smiled, "Looks like you're still not used to the taste of adults!" Immediately, Barterfield did not wait for Kira to react and continued: "Why do you say that this stone is a whale stone? Does it look a lot like a whale? ”

As if forced by Barterfield's gaze, Kira finally raised his glass and took a sip, only to have his expression huddled together for a moment. To hide her embarrassment, Kira shook her head and said, "No, I don't know. ”

Looking at Kira, who had turned around to hide his embarrassment, Bartfield bent down slightly, his gaze over Kira's shoulder, and landed on the stone carving. "No matter how you look at it, I think it's a pair of wings. Do the average whale have wings? ”

Kira, who came out of her embarrassment slightly, said in a somewhat slurred voice, "Probably." However, doesn't this mean that this is evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial beings? ”

Hearing this, Barterfield straightened up and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "In my opinion, too!" But why did this fossil be thought to be a whale? ”

"So, what the hell is it?" Thinking about it, Kira unconsciously raised her glass again. Not surprisingly, Kira was once again bitter by the coffee in her cup.

At this moment, Graham, who had finished drinking the cup of coffee, took a few steps forward and came to Barterfield and Kira. His eyes fell on the fossil as well.

"Oh? Cosmic creatures? "Graham, who has followed He inexplicably through the world of the Macross Fortress, is not very surprised by the small stone in front of him after seeing all kinds of strange alien civilizations. And just like that, Bartfield, who was discussing the stone with Kira, once again set his sights on this man who was quite like-minded with him.

"Hmm. Graham. Looking at the way you look, it seems that you have seen Evidence 01? ”

In the face of Barterfield's question, Graham only smiled. "What are you kidding? I have not seen the evidence of this legend 01. Just know some rumors about it. ”

Graham's calmness naturally aroused Bartfield's curiosity, even the ignorant Kira.

"So, can you help us get some clarification? What the hell is this? Whale? Or the birds? Barterfield asked, taking a sip of his cup and savoring the taste of his coffee.

Just when Bartefield and Kira thought that Graham would make a big deal, Graham made a move that made people break their glasses.

"Why pursue what it is? To me, it's just evidence of the existence of an extraterrestrial being. If you want to say what it really is, you have to find out its true body. Graham, seeing the somewhat incredulous looks of Butterfield and Kira, said, "I'm just a mere warrior." I don't understand the big truth. If you're interested, you can talk to my boss. ”

"Uh..." Graham's single-mindedness left Barterfield speechless, but then burst into laughter. "Hahahahaha! He is worthy of the man I have my eye on. Interesting! Interesting! ”

The laughter slowed down, and Barterfield's eyes grew sharper.

"Still, anticipation is a hassle in a sense, isn't it?"

Graham's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he nodded in agreement. "Definitely. Whether it's a friendly army or an enemy, as long as there is something to look forward to, then the next battle is always difficult. ”

"Oops! Graham. You're such a militant. Bartfield exclaimed, and added, "But Graham, don't you think that after discovering such a thing, humanity will go far?" ”

"Cosmic creatures? Truly. The current human beings are not even as good as a single piece of sand in this universe. ”

Barterfield raised an eyebrow, glanced at Kira, who had gradually fallen into thought during his conversation with Graham, and said, "Even if that's the case?" This possibility is also one of the root causes of this war, the biggest one. ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Bartfield, who wanted to continue the discussion of the root causes, spread his hands helplessly after the knock on the door. "Looks like our princess has already changed her clothes."

So, at Barterfield's answer, the door opened. Aisha, the woman who was close to Bartfield, appeared in front of everyone with a pretty girl in a beautiful off-the-shoulder gown as the door opened.

At this moment, Kira's gaze, who looked back at the door, was completely fixed on the beautiful girl beside Aisha.

"It's beautiful!" At this moment, the word naturally crossed Kira's mind.

At the same time, Kira subconsciously shouted the words to make someone in perfect condition break the golden body. "Yes... Girl?! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately detonated the shyness in someone's heart.

"You bastard!!"

"Nope! I'm just saying it turned out to be you. ”

"You bastard. What is the difference between this and the sentence just now!! ”

The boys and girls were playing and making Bartefield laugh. After he glanced at Aisha, who was standing in the doorway, he poured a new cup of coffee for everyone.

"Looks like I'm running out of coffee." Graham picked up his cup, glanced at the depleted coffee, and said meaningfully.

"Yes! The coffee is gone. "After Balterfield had divided the coffee, he sat down on the couch." Well, the pleasant chat time is over. Is there anything you'd like to ask? ”

Graham spread his hands, indicating that he had no intention of asking. Kira, on the other hand, was still confused, and did not recover from the conversation between Graham and Barterfield for a long time. The rest of Cagalli didn't participate in the discussion because she had to wash and change, so she still hated the man in front of her, known as the desert tiger.

"Wandering the streets in disguise, and driving away the inhabitants to burn down the city, are these your hobbies, the desert tigers?" Cagalli couldn't help but raise her voice, questioning the man in front of her.

"It's so straightforward! The eyes are also very sharp. Bartfield didn't take Cagalli's rebuke seriously, but only lightly commented on Cagalli's attitude. But such a move detonated Cagalli's emotions.

"What a joke!" Cagalli slammed the table to her feet, staring sharply at the desert tiger.

"Huh." Bartfield shook his head, and instead of looking at Cagalli, he landed on Kira. "Teenager. How do you think the war will end? ”

Kira, who was a little stunned by Barterfield's surprise attack, failed to answer Barterfield's question right away.

Looking at Kira, who was still confused, Barterfield smiled self-deprecatingly. "Yes! You still haven't figured it out. Well, Graham. What about you? How do you think the war can end? ”

"Me?" Graham pointed at himself, and said with a smile on his lips, "I'm just a soldier." ”

"Is the military order like a mountain?" Barterfield smiled mockingly as soon as he uttered this idiom from the East.

"So, let's end today's good time!"
