1040 The Storm Rises (Part II)

There was a roar in the sky.

As the roar approached from far and near, a huge shadow enveloped the real Asuka sitting on the large rock.

"Really. Still in a daze? As the cockpit opened, Aslan's voice rang out.

This shadow that fell from the sky was none other than Aslan's Savior Gundam.

Aslan had a hint of tiredness on his face, but he looked refreshed.

I saw Aslan jump to the ground in three steps and two steps along the arm of the Savior Gundam who was half-kneeling on the ground, and then came to the side of the real Asuka.

"The new mission is down. We are now heading to the new meeting point. There, the captain provided us with an emergency safety point. Rest, resupply, and maintenance of the body can all be satisfied. ”

Looking ahead, Asuka seemed to hear Aslan's words, but he didn't say yes, just nodded slightly.

True Asuka's distracted appearance suddenly made Aslan angry again.

however

Sensing that something was wrong, Aslan subconsciously turned his head and followed the line of sight of the real Asuka and looked ahead.

a familiar organism,

Familiar figures,

And then there's the flat ground that will be filled with emergency relief supplies.

"That new airframe team of the East Asian Federation?" Aslan lowered his eyes slightly, remembering the contents of Captain Talya's communication with him as he walked out of the frontline lab.

Although he had witnessed the entanglement between Shin Asuka and the MS pilot team of the East Asian Federation when he was in Orb, in Aslan's opinion, it was only Shin Asuka's personal matter.

However, these personal matters can no longer be defined as personal matters after Captain Talia took the initiative to contact Aslan. Because, Aslan thinks that if Captain Talia doesn't get the answer she wants, I'm afraid he will have to communicate directly with Speaker Dirandal.

After all, no one can watch a time bomb drop by their side without making any movement and letting it explode as time counts down.

"Really. Can you tell me who was the girl who clashed with you last time, when you were in Orb? Aslan asked in as soft a voice as he could, trying not to irritate the real Asuka. I see you care about her. Well, is it a lover? ”

Aslan's temptation did not stimulate the real Asuka, but only made the real Asuka look even more depressed.

"Nope. Captain Aslan. Shin Asuka shook his head, moved his lips, and continued, "Mayu, Mayu Asuka. It's her name. ”

"Mayo Asuka?" Aslan pondered for a moment, and immediately thought of the key point. "Asuka? Is that girl your relative? Sister? ”

As a result, Aslan's speculation made Asuka smile bitterly.

"Does she feel more like a sister than I do?"

In the midst of Shin Asuka's self-deprecating words, Aslan realizes that the relationship between Shin Asuka and the girl is that of a brother and sister, not a brother and sister.

However, looking back on the few previous contacts, the girl named Mayo Asuka Ear seemed to be more like an older sister. If you look at it compared to a rebellious teenager...

Aslan didn't say anything about this, but casually sat down next to Shin Asuka and looked at the location of the young phoenix team with him.

"So, you just met?"

Shin Asuka didn't reply, but turned his face away and showed Aslan the swollen left side of his face.

"Poof~" Aslan couldn't help it for a moment, and after laughing, he immediately forcibly controlled himself. "Hug, sorry. Really, I didn't mean to. ”

Asuka shook her head.

"No, it doesn't matter. Every time we met, I would be beaten up for no apparent reason. ”

Remembering the experience of being beaten up when she saw her sister once, she felt bitter in her heart.

"Is it wrong to let Mayu come to PLANT? Isn't Earth Union a good place? Why do you keep rejecting me? ”

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, muttering in a low voice.

And these mutterings were also heard by Aslan, who was sitting next to him.

So, Aslan, who had vaguely guessed the reason, raised his hand and patted Asuka on the shoulder.

"It's okay. No matter where you are, as long as the people you care about are happy, you'll be fine. There's no need to force her to become a citizen of PLANT with you. Besides, even if your sister is willing to come to PLANT, it is possible that she will continue to work as an MS pilot instead of living in peace in the colony moons away from the war. ”

"How so? It's enough to be an MS pilot! Why is Mayu still going? As soon as Aslan said this, Asuka jumped on the spot in disbelief.

"Calm down. True. Aslan scolded Shin Asuka a little and motioned for him to continue to sit down. This is the reality. Really, I'm sure you've seen a lot of things in the few years you've lived in PLANT. NOW PLANT IS NO LONGER COMPARABLE TO THAT TIME A FEW YEARS AGO, AND THAT WAR CAUSED BOTH THE UNITED EARTH AND PLANT TO LOSE A LOT OF PEOPLE, WEALTH, AND RESOURCES. ”

Aslan paused, sighed and continued: "If it weren't for the fact that in the battle of Yajin Duwei, that General He drove that legendary mech sword to send back the Genesis, I'm afraid the price would have been even greater. ”

"What do you mean, Captain?" Asuka frowned, thinking hard. "Due to the lack of personnel, Mayo, who has experience in piloting MS, will be naturally pushed to the position of MS pilot when he joins PLANT?"

"Yes." Aslan nodded and added. "Isn't it the same with everyone on the Minerva? I didn't even experience actual combat exercises, I just fought all the way on the battlefield. In my opinion, your sister should have been adopted by that General He. Do you think there is anyone in this world who will do better than that General He? ”

Just as Aslan said this, Asuka suddenly jumped up and shouted towards the location of the young phoenix team.

"Ahh!!hh It turns out that I am such a big idiot!!!! ”

After silently watching the real Asuka yelling for a while, Aslan smiled, "Figured it out? ”

Asuka nodded vigorously. "Figured something out."

After a pause, Shin Asuka said with some embarrassment, "At least, in the next meeting, I don't think I will be beaten by Mayo again." ”

Suddenly, Asuka seemed to pull at the wound that Mayu had violently beaten, and grinned. "I didn't expect that girl to learn a lot of kung fu in the East Asian Federation. What a defeat for her! ”

Aslan nodded in relief, raised his hand and patted Shin Asuka on the shoulder, and said, "If you still want your sister to settle in PLANT, then do your best to end this war." ”

"Yes! Captain. Asuka replied loudly.

That eager look made Aslan can't help but look sideways.

"Has the reckless teenager finally figured it out?"

——————

The alarm is screaming,

A stinging red light streaked through the dimly lit aisles over and over again.

Countless figures shuttled back and forth in the aisles in a tense atmosphere, entering their combat posts as quickly as possible.

Neo picked up his helmet with a blank face and stepped out of the locker room. But just as he was about to go to Gnacu, he was stopped by a man, Kreuzer who was guarding the side of the aisle.

As soon as he saw Kreuzer's figure, a disgust flashed in Neo's eyes, a cold light, and he asked in a cold voice, "Is there something wrong?" Your Excellency the Staff. ”

Kreuzer didn't care about Neo's indifference at the moment, but he felt that it was closer to the state he envisioned.

"Colonel Neo. This is the last chance. Neither the headquarters nor the battle plan I drew up took into account the need for the colonel to fight in person. Colonel, are you sure you want to fight in person? ”

Neo snorted coldly, looking a little disdainful.

"Didn't the headquarters send that thing here just to stand up to the allies? And no matter how good the current state of the biological CPU is, it is ready for the second hand. Therefore, my participation in the battle is necessary. ”

"Really? Is this the consciousness of being a front-line commander? Colonel Neo. Cruze's gaze looked directly into Neo's mask, as if to see Neo through that, into his heart.

"Yes. Staff officer. This is the consciousness of the commander. Neo nodded indifferently.

"Then, I wish Your Excellency the Colonel a victorious start!" Hearing Neo's calm and resolute voice, Kreuzer saluted Neo.

Neo returned the salute and turned straight away, disappearing into the shadows of the aisle.

As Neo's footsteps drifted away, the corners of Kreuzer's mouth curled.

"Go ahead! Mu, maybe in this battle, you remembered everything. All of it. ”

Neo's footsteps were so fast, so fast that he didn't even notice how far he had gone before he reached Gnacu.

"Neo!"

The moment Neo stepped into Gnaku, he was spotted by the others.

The long burgundy hair flew up, and with a gust of fragrant wind, a girl in a pink pilot uniform threw herself into Neo's arms.

"Huh. Frey. Be careful! Neo smiled, gently pushed the girl in his arms, and looked around.

Not far from Neo is a boardwalk that runs from the entrance to the center of Gnaku.

And at the end of the long plank road, there was a door that was opened, and the figure of the huge and terrifying steel monster behind the door.

"Gundam Doom!!" Seeing this giant monster more than three times the size of an ordinary MS, Neo's teeth clenched involuntarily.

He knew that the giant monster was not driven by him, but by Frey, the girl in front of him, whose eyes always sparkled with longing and admiration when she looked at him.

Thinking of this, Neo's heart couldn't help but have a little struggle.

He knew that this Gundam of Doom was not the original Gundam, but a new type of mech that had been modified by a certain technology.

"Frey, remember! Don't try to break through the same frequency to 90%! ”

"Hmmm! I know. Frey nodded.

Then, Neo withdrew his gaze and looked at Stine and Orr, who were standing on the other side, secretly looking at this side.

"Sting, Orr! After the attack, you will be in charge of Frey's left and right flanks. Remember it for me! The body Frey pilots is crucial to the outcome of this battle, and if something goes wrong, I can't excuse you! ”

"I see! Neo! Sting and Orr looked at each other and answered.

"So, let's strike!"
