Holding documents back and forth, the many ZAFT clerks who were busy with their own work almost involuntarily stopped, and looked at the pair of men and women who quickly passed through the aisle and walked towards the door. Well, why is this happening to everyone? Because the man is the son of the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, His Excellency Patrick Sarah, Aslan Sarah, and the fiancé of PLANT's popular idol and peace ambassador Lux Klein, at this time, such a man was enthusiastically held by another girl's right hand, walked out of the gate quickly, and drove away in a car. At this moment, everyone who witnessed all this felt that their brains were not enough. What the hell is going on?

Aslan, who was forced into the car by the girl, didn't know about other people's rumors and speculations about this scene, he only knew that the girl in front of him was constantly using the woman-exclusive skill "Broken Thoughts" towards him.

"Naa, Aslan. The chairman asked me to carry out a special mission. I'm afraid I won't see you for a while! Why don't we go shopping? ”

"Huh? Oh. Aslan, who was driving the car, responded stunned, his attention was almost on driving, and he only heard the keyword "special mission" for the girl's fragmented thoughts. "Special mission?"

"Hmm. If Aslan wants to know, I can tell you. A bright smile bloomed on the girl's face.

“···” Aslan was stunned for a moment, then turned his attention back to driving the car.

Aslan's wooden flute once again aroused the girl's dissatisfaction. Since the two met, in the communication between the two sides, Aslan will face it with silence once he encounters something difficult to solve. This made Elica very dissatisfied.

“ZGMF-X09A！” The girl's voice was full of dissatisfaction.

"Scare?"

“JUSTICE。” The girl continued to lay down the bait, and the line used for fishing gradually lengthened.

"Scare?" Aslan finally reacted to what was going on, quickly pulled over the car, stopped, straightened his face, looked at the girl solemnly and shouted angrily: "Elico Pompeii! You're leaking secrets!! What the hell are you messing around?! ”

Aslan's scolding did not scare off the girl, but the girl showed a prank that had succeeded, and said with a playful smile: "Finally, it's no longer a wooden face!" ”

I don't know why, although Aslan was very angry at the girl's unauthorized leak, he couldn't help but be deflated by the girl's smile. After sighing secretly, Aslan sat upright, put his hands on the steering wheel and said resignedly, "Are you going shopping?" Right now? ”

"Hmm. Right now. Don't you have a day or two off left? Just stay with me before you go. Elek's smile was full of triumph.

"Where is there a day or two? Preparation before departure is always done. Aslan was reluctant to speak, but his movements were very flexible. Driven by him, the sedan drove towards the downtown area at a high speed. So, in the laughter of the girl, Aslan once again became the loser.

Soon after, Aslan, who was accompanying the girl on a shopping trip, unexpectedly received a phone call. Aslan hurriedly put all the big bags and small bags in his hand on the table next to him, and hurriedly took his mobile phone to look, and found that it was his fiancée Lux calling.

"Hey! I'm Aslan. Aslan suddenly panicked a little, and didn't know why.

"Aslan. I'm Lux. I heard you're on another mission. Do you have time to hang out with me? The voice of the popular idol girl is very pleasant, which makes Aslan immediately think of that familiar little face.

"Ahh Yes. Commissioner, no, my father gave a new task. I'm still on vacation right now. Aslan said again and again.

"Yes! So, is it available now? Lux's voice seemed to be excited.

"Ahh Well, sort of! Aslan's eyes looked uncontrollably at Erico, who was bargaining with the clerk for a piece of clothing, and said subconsciously.

"Really?" Lux's voice rose high, as joyful as a girl getting a new gift.

"Hmm. It's true. Aslan's eyes were already fixed on Erik, who had won the bargaining battle, and he shouted in his heart not to agree, but his mouth agreed to Lux again.

"Really!" As the voice sounded, Aslan suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from behind him. "So, Aslan, please turn around, is that okay?"

At this moment, Aslan's body stiffened like a stone, and even the thoughts in his mind seemed to be frozen by the cold ice of ten thousand years.

"What? Aslan. Don't want to see me? Lux's voice rang behind Aslan at the same time on the phone.

"No, no, it's not." Aslan's voice suddenly shuddered. In his gaze, Eliko, who had finished paying the money and carrying the bag, was happily walking out of the store and walking towards where he was. The next second, the next moment, Alice and Lux were about to see each other.

What should I do?!!! Aslan's mind kept yelling. Despite this, the Judgment gradually drew closer to Aslan as the distance between Elice and Lux shortened.

Suddenly, Aslan, who was already stiff, stood up abruptly and quickly turned to look over.

I saw my long pink hair blowing in the breeze, gently raised. Between the fluttering side hair, that cute and beautiful face was looking at the man in front of him with a smile.

"Aslan, you're finally willing to turn around and look at me!" Lux's large eyes narrowed slightly, like a crescent moon.

Aslan, who wanted to find a reason to let Lux go first, was easily defeated by Lux's smile. The anxiety was all in vain, and the sound of Elek's footsteps came to his side.

"Hey! Aslan, do you think this dress looks good? As soon as Eriko showed off her newly purchased clothes, she looked at Lux, who was standing face to face with Aslan. Oh. It turned out to be Miss Lux. Hello! ”

Alice didn't show any panic when she noticed that Lux had suddenly appeared, not even a hint of surprise. Instead, he greeted Lux neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hello! Miss Elico. It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time since the last goodbye. Lux's smile was still gentle.

"Soon. It's only two days. Elicot shrugged her shoulders and tucked her clothes back into the bag. Now that Lux has appeared, it doesn't matter if she's showing loot or something.

"Really?" After watching Alice take the dress back, Lux said regretfully, "I think that dress suits you well." Don't you try it? ”

The seemingly friendly words suddenly made Elicon's body tense. "Really? I don't think it's very good. It's all to blame on the clerk for touting it too much. ”

"Where. I think the clerk's comment is very pertinent. ”

"No, no. I kind of regret buying this dress. ”

The-for-tat unfolded silently at this moment. Aslan, the center of the storm, once again served as the dividing line between the two battlefields and the target of fire, as in the past. Even though Aslan wanted to stop the "war" that was happening in front of him, he couldn't and had no way to separate the two because of his gentle personality. Regardless of which side it was, Aslan didn't want to hurt. In this way, Elek, who was slightly inferior to Lux in kung fu, was quickly defeated.

I saw that the angry girl quickly glanced at Aslan, who was being the silent person, and directly picked up those big bags and small bags, dropped a sentence and left.

"Aslan, come see me when you have time."

Just when Aslan didn't know whether to rush up and stop Ericon, his right hand was grabbed by a pair of delicate hands.

"Aslan, we're left now." A hint of fragrance wafted into Aslan's nostrils.

The Vethalius was nearing the end of its rearmament. As the captain, Kreuzer had also returned to the mothership the day before, and all that remained was to wait for the departing crew to finish reporting before the scheduled return time. This is how Aslan stepped on the Vethalius just before the end of the return time.

"Oops. Aslan, I can understand your plight, but you always have to arrange time to complete the task, right? Although Kreuzer had been on the Vesallius for days, his eyes were on the occasional news of Aslan. Originally, his eyeliner didn't care about Aslan's itinerary at all, but because of the recent days, Lux's activities have been very active, and even Aslan has also appeared frequently. For a while, eyeliner couldn't do it even if he didn't want to see Aslan.

"Yes. Captain. It was my rereliction of duty. Aslan replied with a serious expression.

"Forget it. Let's go back and prepare. Next, we're going to land on Earth. The Vethalius will only take us to the nearest stronghold to Earth. Until then, I hope you'll be able to adjust your body's performance. Kreuzer said as he pulled out a chip from a drawer. This is the data of the systems that Yitzhak uses on Earth. Although I don't think it's very useful for the Glitter Aegis. But at least there will be some references. ”

"Yes." After Aslan took the chip, he took a step back and saluted, "Then, I'll take my leave first." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Faced with the room that had turned back into a human being, Kreuzer fixed his gaze on the world map hanging on the wall not far in front of him. In the blue area marked on the map as the Indian Ocean, a red pin is inserted into it.

"Long legs." Kreuzer muttered the name silently. In the information sent earlier, Kreuzer was surprised to find that the desert tiger who had been at odds with him had been defeated. It is said that he was still defeated to the point that he almost had to fight his own troops, and even encountered terrible sandstorms during the retreat. Now, except for the Desert Tigers who still maintain a certain level of mobility under the leadership of the former Desert Tigers' lieutenant, they themselves disappeared in that sandstorm. Afterwards, some people even went out of their way to search and rescue desert tigers. But all they could find was the remains of Lako.

"What a scourge! Long legs. ”
