Early morning.

The cool sea breeze blew away the last trace of warmth from the fire, and gently rolled up the ashes, swirling and spreading them in all directions.

"Huh?"

Aslan gradually woke up from his slumber, and the moment he regained consciousness, Aslan suddenly lowered his head and looked.

What catches your eye is a pretty face that has fallen asleep peacefully.

The faint sound of breathing inadvertently tapped lightly on Aslan's heart.

Aslan didn't think much about it, just observed the complexion of the person in his arms a little, and lowered his head and touched his forehead against it, feeling the body temperature of the person in his arms, and finally slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The person in his arms fell asleep peacefully.

The defenseless sleeping position, the calm and natural sleeping face, inadvertently made Aslan look a little intoxicated.

It's too much of a resemblance.

Although it was a glimpse of it before, or in daily contact, Aslan just thought that this was a girl who happened to look alike. But now, for special reasons, when Aslan embraced Erin Adler in his arms and carefully looked at the face that was so similar that it was almost a mold, Aslan found that

this

Maybe it's her.

"Impossible!"

The moment this thought came to mind, Aslan subconsciously denied it.

but

Aslan, however, knew that his heart was shaken.

Even if he knew the fact that the man, his lover Elico Pompeii, could not come back, he could not control himself from thinking about the delusional, naïve, ridiculous little thoughts when he saw the face again.

"Hmm..."

As Aslan was thinking, a murmur sounded quietly in his arms.

At the same time, the closed eyes slowly opened.

Continue.

When Aslan, who heard the voice, subconsciously looked into Erin's eyes, he still saw those cold, as if they had no emotion.

"Huh? No, no, no..." Aslan was shocked, and hurriedly put Erin on the ground, took a few steps back, waved his hands and explained quickly: "Captain Erin! This is because you are injured, have lost too much blood, and you have symptoms such as wound infection, and fever, so I have to use all the methods I can to keep you warm. ”

Erin looked at Aslan, who was waving her hand and trying to explain, and then looked down at the two pilot's suits on her body, and the blood-stained bandages on her thighs. At this moment, the tingling pain coming from his thighs really proved that Aslan's words were true.

"Thank you." Erin didn't feel shy about this, but nodded generously in thanks.

This made Aslan, who had been explaining again and again, stunned for a while.

In his opinion, even if he was slapped by Erin, it was normal. But now what's the matter with this generous nod of thanks?

In the end, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Aslan still chose to uncover this stubble and no longer talk about this matter.

After all, even if Erin put on a look of no longer pursuing it, but still thanking for saving her life, Aslan would not reveal it without interest.

Even so, silence quietly took place.

There was a long silence.

Aslan still took the initiative to break the silence.

Whatever the reason, he knew that now, he probably shouldn't stay here. For both him and Irene, perhaps both of them need some time alone.

Aslan's mouth opened and he said, "Captain Erin." Now that you've woken up, I'll have to go see if your Zagu Phantom can get in touch with the Minerva. After all, your injuries need to be returned to the Minerva for further treatment. ”

And after Erin heard Aslan say this, she still looked cold and cold, and nodded without sadness or joy, which was regarded as a way to express her approval.

"Well, then, please get some rest." Aslan didn't linger any longer, turned around and walked out a few steps, and suddenly stopped again. "Erin, there's some emergency food and water in the emergency kit. If you can, it's better to have some energy. ”

With that, Aslan walked out without looking back, jumped on the wreckage of the Zagu Phantom in three or two clicks, plunged headlong into the cockpit, and tinkered.

Only Erin, who was holding the pilot's suit, silently looked at the food and water in the emergency kit, and sat there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

————————

At this point,

In an unknown sea, two steel bodies were flying quickly across the sea.

The roar of the engine tore through the tranquility of the sea, and the steel body flew and broke the calm water into huge waves.

"Whoa..."

Under the refraction of the sun, countless water droplets are emitting a crystal colorful light, which at first glance is beautiful.

At the same time, in this crystal beautiful colorful water curtain, there is a steel body with wings of light that is also full of dexterity, as if stepping on the beat of music and shuttling in the water curtain.

"Mayo!! Be serious! Now we are on a search mission!! ”

If it were in normal times, Masuka would have been, no, I would definitely be happier to be with my sister Mayu. What's more, at the moment, after consulting with Captain Taria, He inexplicably negotiated with Captain Taria, and specially approved the two of them to team up to carry out the same mission together.

However, after a brief period of joy, Shin Asuka's mind continued to sink into the task of searching for the traces of the two captains, Aslan and Erin. For this reason, Shin Asuka was ordered to take a break by Captain Talia and waited until the time limit was over, and then immediately asked to attack.

He was so anxious, ignoring the surrounding gaze, and even did not hesitate to collide with Captain Talia, just to find Aslan's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Of course.

Mayo, who was traveling with him, naturally knew this too.

Therefore, compared to the real Asuka who is bitter and hateful, and wants to find Aslan immediately, Mayu is much easier.

Why is this happening?

Because before leaving, the eldest sister Avril found Mayu and told Mayu a hint.

Although this hint did not allow Mayu to find Aslan immediately, Mayu knew that as long as she followed this prompt, it would definitely not be too difficult to find Aslan's whereabouts.

Therefore, the flight trajectory of the Flame Sparrow is much more scattered and free compared to the straight flight path of the Pulse Gundam.

As a result, the spirit was tense to the extreme, and the real Asuka was almost about to explode, and finally stepped on the edge of the explosion.

"Huh? What's there? Mayu said lightly after glancing at Shin Asuka's avatar on the screen. At the same time, Mayo's left hand does not forget to enter a series of commands on the keypad that rises from the left side of the driver's seat. Under the execution of these commands, the flight trajectory of the flame sparrow suddenly changed, becoming more scattered and chaotic.

In an instant, a curtain of water stirred a few times in the light wings of the flame sparrow, and exploded one after another, causing bursts of fine artificial rain to fall in this sea area.

"Mayo! Give me enough to stop!! ”

Exploded!

Under Mayuna's casual actions, the real Asuka, who has been suppressed by self-blame and has been in a state of extreme mental tension, finally explodes!!

The straight flight path of the Pulse Gundam suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, it completed its turn and swooped down on the Sparrow.

"Huh?"

The Flame Sparrow, which was walking around in the mist, was not intimidated by the menacing Pulse Gundam.

As soon as I saw the light wings behind the Flame Sparrow, the Flame Sparrow, which should have been in front of the Pulse Gundam, suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared on the right side of the Pulse Gundam, gently breaking away from the sea and rising higher into the sky.

"Oh La? The stupid brother is angry. Mayu glanced at the new communication signal prompt box on the screen and feigned surprise.

"Bastard! Mayo. When did you become so cold-blooded!! Now it's a life-threatening mission. You..."

Asuka is really angry.

Whether it was just now, or now, Mayo always showed a breezy and irrelevant look.

"Mayo! I don't remember your parents ever teaching you what you look like now!! Unexpectedly... At this time, I still have the heart to play!! Mayo, how did you become so cold-blooded!! ”

Asuka roared angrily.

Originally, he thought that Mayu had walked through the door of death, and it was not bad to be able to live happily in the East Asian Federation with the help of that General He. This is also the enlightenment that Shin Asuka gained during a heart-to-heart conversation with Aslan.

However, now that it seems, Asuka feels as if she is thinking too simply.

He never expected that his younger sister, who was so innocent and lovely when he was a child, would become so cold-blooded!!

however

In the face of the roar of the real bird, Mayu was extraordinarily calm.

"Dad? Mom? Hehe. O my foolish brother! I don't know who hasn't been back to Orb once in the past few years, and he won't even come back to see his parents. Now, you dare to use my parents to press me?! Very good! ”

As she spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Mayu's eyes.

"In that case, let's have a match!!"

"Come..." As soon as Asuka spoke, he immediately stopped, and forcibly stuffed the last words back.

"No, we're on a mission right now."

Who knows, in the face of Shin Asuka's denial and justification, Mayu sneered again and again.

"Really? You have the courage to use your parents to press me, but you don't have the courage to fight me, right? Still using tasks to prevaricate me? Very good! ”

Mayo's left hand on the keyboard swam in quick succession, typing a set of commands into the system. Under the operation of this set of commands, a common frequency that looks somewhat unfamiliar, but is familiar is transmitted to the pulse gundam.

"Z... Secret··· Zi··· Minne···· Minerva ··· Zi"

The sudden sound made Asuka stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and quickly replied.

"This is the Pulse Gundam. I'm Shin Asuka. Is Captain Aslan? Please answer when you receive it!! ”

Asuka's voice was very excited.

"Pulse... Zi··· Pulse Gundam··· Really..."

Due to the influence of neutron jammers, airborne communication equipment will inevitably be affected when conducting long-distance communication. As a result, Asuka subconsciously wanted to move the Pulse Gundam in order to gain a better communication distance.

However, just as the Pulse Gundam was moving, a new set of coordinates was transmitted from the outside to the Pulse Gundam's onboard system.

As soon as he saw this kind of coordinates, Shin Asuka was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked back, only to find that he had already lost the trace of the flame sparrow.

"Could it be that Mayo knew the location of Captain Aslan in the first place?"

Such questions lingered in the mind of Shin Asuka for a long time.
