A sailing yacht sails into a busy harbor with the sea breeze blowing.

On the dock where the sailing yacht is ready to dock, there are already people waiting there, waiting for the sailing yacht to dock.

"Welcome back! Everybody. Most of Ares' face was obscured by the wide sunglasses, but he could still be seen happy that his old friend was back.

"Huh. Brat. If we want to catch up, let's go back and talk about it. The most important thing for us now is to get out of here as soon as possible. Like Ares, the middle-aged man with long hair with a scar on the left side of his face preemptively spoke after looking at the busy ports around him.

"Well, please come with me! We're ready. Ares nodded, not dwelling too much. During his years as a bodyguard, Ares became familiar with the entire process of protecting important people. Therefore, he knew that it was indeed not a good time to talk to his heart's content.

Led by Ares, all wearing sunglasses and pretending to be tourists, they left the dock unhurriedly and boarded the car waiting at the intersection.

As the car started, the convoy of five black sedans gradually drove out of the harbor and quickly drove towards the ring highway under the watchful eyes of those who were unaware.

Along the way, Ares did not take the initiative to talk, but silently observed the situation on both sides of the road, and only after the convoy drove safely on the ring highway and joined the other two convoys waiting in the shadows, did he look back at the man and woman sitting in front of him.

"Mr. Bartfield, and Miss Lux. It's safe now. ”

Hearing Ares say this, the middle-aged man with the scar on the left side of his face breathed a deep sigh of relief, and by the way, he raised his hand to wipe it, and the long hair was actually taken off, revealing the original short brown hair underneath.

"Oops. Finally, I don't have to wear this wig that can suffocate people. After brushing the somewhat heavy wig in his hand, Barterfield said, "After running outside for a few years, in the end it is still comfortable for Orb!" Miss, did you say yes? ”

"That's right. In Orb, it's always easy to get down. With the sound of a crisp and pleasant voice, the long soft and shiny pink hair gently broke free from the wide sun hat and stretched wantonly in the air, while the owner with the beautiful long pink hair closed his eyes slightly, feeling the unique aura of the long-lost Orb.

"Huh. Mr. Barterfield, Miss Lux. Please bear with me. I've got people ready. Relax and rest for the night. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. That's what the representative commanded. Ares smiled. Although Ares's horrible face looked terrifying, Barterfield and Lux didn't care.

Barterfield nodded, and complained as he casually put the fake in the space on the inside of the door. In that case, thank you to the deputies. I've been tired for the past few years. I was just a fighter who could only fight and kill, and I was asked to run a newspaper. It's so embarrassing. ”

"Really?" Lux, who was sitting on the side, had a different opinion. "Judging from the results, you have the greatest credit, President. After all, in a matter of years, a small tabloid company with an unknown name has become a well-known news media company. It seems that the president will not have to bother to work hard for the second half of his life in the future. ”

"Miss. Don't mention the title of president. It's a big headache for me! Barterfield waved his hand and cried bitterly.

The interaction between Lux and Barterfield, Ares naturally saw it in his eyes. Moreover, he knew that before Lux returned to Orb, she had also met the man who was rumored to be the "savior" of mankind.

There was an inexplicable glint in Ares' eyes, and he hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Before I came, I heard from the representative that Miss Lux seemed to have been in contact with the savior during her time in the East Asian Federation, right?" ”

Lux, who was asked, was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Cagalli's current situation, and secretly guessed Cagalli's thoughts and Ares's thoughts in front of her. Lux nodded, acknowledging the claim.

"Well, yes."

Along the way, Ares cautiously asks about Lux's inexplicable meeting with Ho. Although there are many problems, more problems revolve around He Mo's current physical condition. After all, in his opinion, Ho, who is also a paralyzed patient, may bring some help to Cagalli.

In this regard, Lux also did his best to give detailed answers to Ares's questions one by one.

However, in the process of answering this question, the convoy soon drove off the Ring Road and came to the mansion of the Asgha family.

"Huh? What about Cagale? Lux, who had put down all the salutes, looked at the empty house in amazement.

Ares' face sank, and he sighed secretly. "The representative will marry Yuna Roman Ceran, the eldest son of the Seran family, in three days. Now there is no one else in the house of Asghar except the necessary servants. ”

"What? Something like this happened. As soon as Bartfield, who had just walked in through the door, heard the news, he immediately said in surprise: "Miss." So that our plan is possible..."

However, before Lux could reply, the perceptive Ares immediately retorted, "Mr. Barterfield, plan?" What is the plan? ”

Barterfield was stunned for a moment, knowing that his mouth was fast, and accidentally said that he had missed his mouth, so he could only look at Lux with a blank eye.

"Ares. Please don't blame Captain Barterfield. This was our impromptu idea. In fact, there is one more thing we have hidden from you about General He. I'm sorry for that. Lux apologized before she said what Ares wanted to know.

"I met with General Ho twice. The interview I talked to you about earlier was a mixture of those two meetings. But in fact, at the second meeting, I stood beside General Ho and witnessed an attack taking place with my own eyes. ”

Lux paused, looked at Ares with sharp eyes, and said, "An attack on the savior of mankind, General He, who is inexplicable, has happened with my own eyes. ”

"What?" Ares opened his mouth in shock and asked, "So, what about the murderer?" I, no, how come Ob didn't get any news? ”

Lux shook her head and sighed lightly, "After the incident, the East Asian Federation has taken the necessary measures to suppress it before it has been exposed. Now, apart from the East Asian Federation, we are the only ones who know the news. ”

however

Bartfield, however, refuted Lux's statement.

"No, miss. It is not only the East Asian Federation that knows the news, but also us. And don't forget the murderer, and the group of people who stare at PLANT all day. ”

Lux's face was solemn, and though she wanted to refute what Barterfield had said, it might have been worse in reality. Because, after meeting up with Barterfield and others afterwards, Lux learned from various intelligence sources that something seemed to be brewing in the Atlantic Federation. Conversely, the new Speaker of PLANT is no different.

As a result, Lux is even more worried about the rapidly changing future.

What's more, what she hoped for did not give any of the answers she wanted. Therefore, Lux finally decided to return to Orb and join Cagalli and the others to wait and see what happened.

It's just...

"Ares. Can I meet Cagalli now? Lux looked at Ares and asked sincerely.

Ares' face didn't seem to look good at this time, and he knew how closely Cagalli would be watched by the Celean family on the eve of their wedding. He shook his head, moved the corners of his mouth, and finally said, "There should be time tomorrow." ”

"That's good! It's all up to you! Ares. ”

It's night.

Ares, who had arranged for Lux and his party, returned to Cagalli's side again, quietly waiting for the girl who was recuperating after taking the medicine.

Or is the presence of Ares too strong,

Or maybe it's because the girl's mind is cumbersome and she hasn't been able to calm down.

Shortly after Ares entered the room, Cagalli noticed his arrival.

"Ares. You're back? What happened to Lux? As soon as the girl tried to stand up, she was stepped forward by the quick-eyed Ares, who steadily lifted her up and leaned against the edge of the bed to speak.

"Hmm. Miss Lux: They've got it all figured out. Ares nodded, and after gently covering Cagalli, continued, "It's just that Miss Lux wants to meet you tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow?" Cagalli was slightly surprised, and then immediately thought of a possibility. "Is there something wrong? Is it about the Federation of East Asia? ”

Ares hesitated, looked at Cagalli's somewhat pale face, and suddenly felt a little unbearable. But just when he wanted to divert Cagalli's attention, Cagalli grabbed his arm.

"Tell me! Ares! What kind of news did Lux bring! ”

Cagalli's eyes were so bright and firm at this moment.

or

When it comes to the topic of Orb, the girl with a crippled body will burst out with great power.

Ares was silent for a moment, but finally lowered her head and whispered a brief message in Cagalli's ear about the news that Lux had brought.

"What?!" In this shocking news, the ignorant and reckless girl who was no longer the one she was back then thought of countless possibilities at this moment. But the most terrifying possibility is like a hook with countless barbs, grabbing Cagalli's heart and constantly tearing at the girl's heart.

At this moment, the girl's heart was so tingling.

"Is war coming again?"

Looking at the girl, whose face quickly turned pale, Ares's fists clenched tightly.

He knows

At this moment,

In the heart of the maiden,

It must be a cry to avoid war and protect Orb's cry.

But

Ares, however, knew that the girl was no longer able to board the MS she had.

"Strength, maybe be able to fight to protect something."

Ares thought silently as he rubbed the horrible scars on his face.
