"Confirm that the strength of the G-force field is decreasing. Based on the current rate of descent, there will be an opportunity within 56 hours for MS to enter the wreckage activity. ”

Hearing the calculation results obtained by combining the real-time monitoring data, Seleni sighed secretly, and then clapped her palms, and after everyone in the computing center noticed her, she said loudly:

"Thank you all for your hard work. Now that the results have been obtained, this data should be communicated to the Union, Orb, PLANT, and the East Asian Federation, so that they can decide for themselves what to do next? We've now completed most of our DDSD mission. Now, let's have a good rest for the day! ”

Since the time when PLANT sent a research ship to follow the Combined Fleet to this universe at the request of PLANT, Seleni's team has been fighting until now, just to provide a more accurate time for the Combined Fleet.

As soon as Seleni walked out of the computing center after announcing a day off, she saw a young man in a red military uniform standing on the edge of the aisle, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a while.

"Oh~ Isn't this our DDSD heartthrob Alex? Why did you change into a ZAFT military uniform after a few days of leave? And it's also an elite in red! Sereni's eyes flashed with a sly glint and she made a knowingly quipping of the young man.

As she spoke, Seleni thought about it slightly, and seemed to have found something unusual, and said, "Is it that the salary offered by our DDSD is not attractive enough?" It annoys heartthrob Alex! ”

Faced with these sarcastic and ridiculous words, Aslan smiled helplessly a few times. "Doctor, stop making fun of me. You know why I came back to ZAFT. ”

Right.

When Aslan decided to leave DDSD, Seleni learned from Aslan the reason why he was returning to ZAFT, and the reason why Aslan would appear on the neutral DDSD research ship at this moment.

"Huh. It seems that you have made a lot of determination to return to ZAFT. Seleni smiled slightly, looked at the white Medal of Wings pinned to Aslan's collar, and asked tentatively, "So, are you Alex from DDSD now, or Aslan Sara from PLANT Sarah?" ”

Aslan was stunned, and just as the eyes of the two met in midair.

Aslan did not hide his emotions at all, and said seriously and frankly: "Now, I am Aslan Sarah. ”

After getting the answer she wanted, a big smile gradually appeared on Sereni's face. "Really? So, standing in front of me now is Master Sarah, the majority shareholder of our DDSD. ”

Aslan, who was almost crushed by Seleni in a few words, sighed and shook his head. "Doctor. Do we need to see each other like this? ”

Looking at Aslan, who was helpless by herself, Seleni couldn't help but laugh. But she gradually put away her smile and said:

"Alex. Now I am making a routine report to the major shareholders as a Ph.D. in DDSD. ”

Hearing this, Aslan's heart was stunned, and his face became solemn.

Selene looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was around, she stepped forward and whispered in Aslan's ear in an almost skin-to-skin fashion, "Alex." The results have already been made. The G-force field that enveloped the remains of Junius would subside within 56 hours. ”

With that, Seleni retracted her body slightly, and stared directly at Aslan face to face.

"But, according to my personal predictions, the mysterious force field may fade within 12 hours. I don't have any valid scientific data to support this. It's just my intuition. ”

Aslan, who had a solemn face, didn't notice that the distance between him and Seleni was extremely close at this time, and the breath of the two of them was clear and warm.

"Intuition? Didn't you tell anyone else about that? ”

The corners of Seleni's mouth curled slightly, and a little charm appeared on her face.

"How is that possible. It's just a woman's instinct. ”

"So, you only told me?" Aslan's face was stunned.

Seleni held out a finger and shook it.

"Yes. Believe it or not. A woman's intuition is sometimes very accurate. ”

Suddenly, Aslan, who was in deep thought, finally noticed that the distance between the two was extremely close, and even the faint fragrance of Sereni's body could be clearly smelled. This made Aslan subconsciously take a step back and say goodbye without a trace.

"Doctor. Thanks for the reminder. I need to go back to the Minerva to make sure. If that's true, I hope DDSD can leave this space for a while. What happens next, we may not be able to take care of anything else. ”

"Understood! Our majority shareholder, Master Sarah. ”

——————

Soon after.

Under the pretext of daily patrols, the young phoenix squad attacked again.

"Mayo, how is the flame sparrow doing? The next move, we may have to do a big job! Avril's voice came from the Thundersparrow, which had taken the front of the formation.

"Hmmm! No problem! Captain! Ofar has just replaced Flame Sparrow with his grandfather's latest design radiator. Theoretically, the Flame Sparrow can turn on the light wing system for at least ten minutes or so. Mayo nodded, and with a quick press of a button on the control panel, retrieved the working condition of the cooling system.

"Ten minutes? It should be enough! Stella, who was on the side, also chimed in.

"Hmm!" Mayu nodded, but asked a new question with some concern. "Sister Avril, did you notice something?"

"Huh?" Avril blinked, stared at the Mayu avatar on the screen and asked seriously, "How did you find out?" ”

"Hee~" Mayu smiled, squeezing her eyebrows at the camera, and said proudly: "It's just that I accidentally discovered some situations." When you are in the cafeteria, are you suddenly in a daze for a while. If it weren't for Uncle Graham, who was sitting not far away, I would have thought that Sister Avril was thinking something. ”

Avril laughed and cursed, and then admitted the fact that she was in a daze in the dining hall just now. "Eccentric. Mayo, Stella. Listen up! Although we were on a daily patrol, we had to keep as much distance as possible from the Phoenix Gundam. ”

"Phoenix Gundam?" Stella's eyes rolled, and she immediately exclaimed, "Is the big brother waking up?" ”

Avril's mouth moved, and she shook her head, a little hesitant on her face. "I don't know. Now the situation with the big brother is strange. It seems to be back, but it seems to have stayed somewhere. It feels like I'm standing here, but I'm far away. ”

Mayo listened and shook her head in annoyance, looked at Stella and asked, "Stella, do you understand?" ”

Stella frowned and shook her head to indicate that she didn't understand either.

Looking at the two confused eggs, Avril reluctantly patted her helmet.

"Alright. Don't even think about it. We have to get started right now. Later, Lieutenant Colonel Kreuzer and Major Graham will also attack. Until then, we're going to have to empty this area! ”

"Yes!" Mayo and Stella answered in unison.

In the bridge of the Archangel.

The solemn-looking people sat in their seats, doing all the inspection work in the state of battle.

Marryu's gaze moved away from the main screen and landed on Kreuzer, who was standing aside and had already changed into a pilot's suit.

"Lieutenant Colonel. How much longer is the time? ”

After placing the helmet next to his body and letting it float in mid-air, Kreuzer glanced at Graham who was standing next to him and nodded.

"Captain. I'm sure you've seen the report just now from DDSD. Under normal circumstances, this is indeed a highly accurate report. However, in our perception, this report is wrong. ”

Kreuzer's gaze fell on the report that Malu had placed under her left hand.

"According to this report, the hybrid force field that envelops the wreckage of Junius will subside within 56 hours. However, in our perception, the adults have already returned. ”

"What?" As soon as Malu heard the news that He had inexplicably woken up, she immediately looked at Kreuzer with wide eyes.

Kreuzer nodded, and after giving an affirmative effect, he continued: "Although we have sensed that the adults have returned, there seems to be an unknown force blocking the connection between us and the adults. ”

"Didn't you remind you of this at the beginning?" Malu relaxed, leaned back in her chair, and asked.

"Definitely. But the situation is different now. In our perception, this force, while blocking our connection with adults, also seems to be giving an answer, letting us know the awakening time of adults, the real awakening time. ”

"When, then?" Maliu's gaze became serious.

"Eight hours later." Kreuzer gave a number, adding: "That's the exact answer." ”

"Eight hours." Malius thought about the time, and when she thought about it, she immediately thought of the situation around the wreckage of Junius now. "Lieutenant Colonel, do you have any ideas?"

The corners of Kreuzer's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't answer, just looked at Graham. "Graham, interested in going out for a spin?"

"Huh! Can't ask for it! Graham nodded confidently.

"Then, those cosmic mayflies are for you." Kreuzer gestured to the void outside.

"Understood!" Graham stood up and saluted, and after taking the order neatly, he walked down the captain's command platform, came to Bucky Lulu's side, and said softly, "I'll attack with courage, please." ”

"Well, be careful all the way." Bucky Lulu admonished.

With the courageous appearance of the appearance and style that is different from the Phoenix Squad and the SEED World series of mechs, the attention of the Minerva and the Phantom troops, who are thinking about how to attack, are also attracted to it.

"So, that's? Another new type of machine?! Taria, who had a special medal for members of the ZAFT special unit FAITH on her neckline, like Aslan, came to the bridge as soon as she received an emergency communication from the bridge, staring at the courage that was quietly staying on the open-air catapult frame.

"Captain. Then, the light, although the color is different, could it be the same as the light emitted by the corner splitting machine? Arthur exclaimed, pointing to the reddish glow emanating from the two particle vents of the Courage Form.

"What?" Just thinking about the slender body shape of the courage style, Taria, who didn't think of this aspect at all, was immediately shocked. In the past few years, PLANT, which has been eyeing the development of related technologies in East Asia due to the Phoenix Gundam, has not discovered the technology related to the mysterious particle for a long time, and it has begun to relax a little. But I never imagined that at this moment, there would be another body with similar particle power.

"How many hole cards does the East Asian Federation hide?" Talia bit her lip, subconsciously remembering Dilandal's face that hid a secret that people couldn't understand.

however

It's not the same shock as the Minerva.

In the bridge of the Phantom Army's mothership, a man in a steel mask that obscures half of his face laughs as he looks at the Courage on the screen.

"Haha! Interesting! I didn't expect that the East Asian Federation would once again light up a new type of body at this critical time. Hehe. “

Only to see Gu Nan looked at the captain standing aside and asked, "You say, in addition to the three young phoenixes and the new aircraft that has just appeared, will the East Asian Federation hide other hole cards?" ”

The serious captain did not give an answer, and after thinking about it, the captain could only shake his head in the end.

Since that war a few years ago, the East Asian Federation has taken advantage of the storm set off by the Gundam named Phoenix and has ascended to the same level as the Atlantic Federation. If it weren't for the fact that the East Asian Federation has maintained a low-key style of doing things in recent years, I am afraid that a heartbreaking internal strife would break out within the federation.
