It's night.

A slight night breeze blows the willows on the shore, and the raised willow branches divide the moonlight scattered from the sky. Occasionally, a small fish would jump out of the water and shatter the moonlight reflected on the river, causing ripples.

In the path by the river, a chorus of crickets was interrupted by footsteps from far and near.

"Rustle..."

The willow branches made a loud noise under the blowing of the night wind, which gradually increased.

"Chief, the wind is strong." At this moment, two figures came out of the shadow under the willow tree, and after one of them looked up at the moon and the willow branches dancing in the wind, he looked back at the old man who was supported by him and said.

"Out of the way. There is still some way to go. Let's go first. The old man who was being supported waved his hand and motioned to continue walking.

"Good. Watch your step. ”

With the rustle of willow branches dancing in the wind, the two continued on their journey.

"Hmm." As if feeling a little cool, the old man stopped, looked back at the young man who was supporting him, and said, "General He, how long have you been in command of the fleet now?" ”

It turned out that the young man who was supporting the old man was inexplicable. I saw that after thinking about it for a while, he estimated and said, "It's not a year, it's more than half a year." ”

"Hmm. Almost. The afterlife is terrifying! The old man nodded, and then took another step.

He inexplicably hurriedly followed.

Now he is supported by the supreme leader of the East Asian Federation, an old man who is greatly respected and loved by thousands of people.

Not long ago, after completing the "suppression" task of the lunar base, He Moming was planning to place the 17th Task Force in the Daystar Satellite Fortress, so he temporarily appointed Feng Yun as the commander, and he himself returned to the capital of the East Asian Federation with everyone, including Kreuzer and Bucky Lulu, to prepare to propose a confidential mission to the Cosmodrome Headquarters and the top leadership. In fact, this so-called secret mission is actually a lie cloaked in a veneer, and the fundamental purpose is to cover why he and others have returned to the extradimensional fortress.

However, before He could inexplicably take the initiative to make a request, an order from the Cosmos Army Headquarters was issued. First of all, let Feng Yun temporarily take the position of commander of the 17th Task Force, and secondly, let He Mo return to the capital of the East Asian Federation as quickly as possible, and a certain chief was urgently summoned.

As a result, after He was inexplicably ordered and rushed back to the capital in a hurry, he found that the chief who urgently summoned him was the old man.

"General He, you have contributed a lot to the fact that this war can be won. In addition to the normal promotion as a reward, I may be able to accomplish something for you in my personal capacity. Just when He was thinking inexplicably, the old man who was being supported by him suddenly said.

"Huh? Heads? He was inexplicably stunned for a moment, as if to make sure that he had heard correctly.

"Huh. General Ho. Don't be surprised. Maybe in the near future, you'll be on some mission. Naturally, the little ones you rescued have an agency to take over. It's just that Avril Lavigne, and the little sister you rescued in Orb, are too lonely. The old man smiled and said meaningfully.

"Huh? Avril They? Oh, actually, I've already arranged for someone to take care of them. That man was Marius Ramias..." Halfway through He's inexplicable words, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. As the head of a country (river crab), there is no need for the old man to pay so much attention to a few children. Although Avril and He Inexplicably have a close relationship, and because He Inexplicably is about to leave the Gundam Seed World, He Inexplicable also asks Marie Ramias, who is temporarily idle due to the retirement of the Archangel, to take care of him. It's just...

"Chief, what are you?" The thoughts in He's inexplicable heart kept coming to mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it for a while.

"Huh. General Ho. You don't have to be abusive. This battlefield broke out during my tenure and can end during my tenure. I am worthy of my ancestors. In that case, it's time for me to give way to young people. So, I hope that when I retire, I can have a few little ones by my side. The old man's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be full of anticipation for He Mo to agree to his request.

He was inexplicably speechless for a while.

Judging from the information gathered from various sources, it seems that the old man had no children other than his son, who had been born before, because of the wounds he had suffered on the battlefield when he was young. Especially now that his son has no intention of politics, he is concentrating on staying in the army and serving the country, and the old man who is facing retirement will inevitably feel a little lonely.

Perhaps, this is why the old man suddenly made this somewhat abrupt request.

Countless thoughts flashed in He inexplicably's heart, and the ultimate purpose of these thoughts all pointed to the option of agreeing to the old man without exception. None of them. For He Moming, this option is the most correct and advantageous. Whether it is now, or leaving, or returning at some point in the future, with the friendly relationship with Avril and others as a bridge as a guarantee, he can inexplicably not worry about the occurrence of some people in the country coveting the 17th Task Force because of the long absence.

It seems to see what inexplicable hesitation he has. The old man spoke again, "Don't worry. General Ho. I adopted Avril Lavril out of selfishness and had nothing to do with anything else that didn't matter. When people are old, they always want to have a few little ones with them. ”

At this point, He Mo no longer hesitated, and agreed to the old man's request very simply. "Okay. Heads. It's a blessing for you to be able to adopt Avril Lavigne. ”

"Huh. Look at what you said. If I hadn't estimated that General He, you would have gone on a mission again, I wouldn't have wanted to make this request so soon. Young man, don't think too much nonsense. The old man smiled, raised his finger, pointed at He inexplicably and scolded with a smile.

He smiled helplessly in return. Indeed, as the old man said, he thought too much. No way. Facing the old man who is the head of the country (river crab), He inexplicably pays attention to his behavior all the time, so as not to make some mistakes in it, which will lead to some unnecessary troubles.

The two walked out of the road again in a laughing and talking.

Ahead, the exit of the riverside trail looms.

"Chief. I have something to say. At this time, He inexplicably stopped.

"Oh? Go ahead. The old man answered, and then spoke again to stop He inexplicable words. Let me guess how? ”

"Okay. Heads. He blinked inexplicably, so he had to nod.

"Now the war is over. I believe that there are still some finishing touches that have not yet been completed, is General He going to take the initiative to ask for these finishing touches to be carried out? The old man pushed his black-rimmed glasses, and there was a glint of wisdom in his eyes.

"Huh?" He was inexplicably stunned. Before he could open his mouth, the old man guessed what he was going to say first.

"Young people. It's good to be clear, but in this position, it's better to keep things a little deeper. The old man smiled wisely and said, "However, I don't think General He, who has that earth-shattering power, doesn't need those crooked things. ”

"Chief?!" He was inexplicably shocked at this time, he was really surprised. Could it be that the old man in front of him already knew the truth that he was not actually from this world? The moment a trace of panic emerged, it was suppressed by He inexplicably with strong spiritual power.

"Don't panic. If you want to go, you can go. This time, the East Asian Federation thanks you and the forces behind you. As long as there is a need, just say. The old man raised his hand and patted He Mo's shoulder, then said with a smile: "As long as General He is willing, the East Asian Federation will welcome your return at any time." ”

"Chief?!" He blinked inexplicably, his face full of astonishment. Feng Circle turned, He Mo, who originally thought that he had been exposed to the truth, was about to take measures, but was told that there was a mysterious force standing behind him. This made He inexplicably surprised. I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

After He Mo Mo hurriedly sorted out his emotions, he nodded calmly, indicating that the old man was right, he was too right. Since they think there is a mysterious force standing behind them, let them go. At least you don't have to use your own brains and words to clarify the facts.

"When are you leaving?" The old man nodded with satisfaction, looked at He and asked inexplicably.

"In a few days. We also need to prepare something. For example, there are still some materials to be handed over to Liu Lao. After inexplicably touching the next process, He shook his head and said.

"Facts? Was it General He who broke out at the last moment the development data of that groundbreaking divine sword? As soon as he heard the word "information", the old man's eyes immediately released a burst of brilliance.

He was inexplicably speechless again.

No way! Ever since he piloted the Phoenix Gundam to explode and split Genesis in two, he has become thoroughly famous. Even the Phoenix Gundam's unique appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention. And everywhere he went, whether it was a familiar friend or an unfamiliar officer, he would gather around and ask about the Phoenix Gundam. In desperation, He had no choice but to avoid these crazy people who were obsessed with Phoenix Gundam.

"Chief. The development of the Phoenix Gundam was extremely difficult. It took a lot of our means and the accumulation of several generations to barely create such a body. Moreover, there is another drawback to this body. Anyone who boards it will be sucked dry by the NTD system except me. ”

"NTD system?" The old man's intuition was very sharp, and he immediately grasped the point.

"Hmm. It is a system developed for new humans. And the so-called new humans are not those who adjust. Only in order to adapt to the cosmic environment, and naturally evolve the perception, mental power, and other abilities that are different from ordinary people, can they be called new humans. He inexplicably gave a brief introduction to what NTD is and what NT is.

"You are?"

"Hmm. I am. ”

"So, they?" The old man meant something.

He inexplicably took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "Avril is."

The old man nodded, and finally said solemnly: "In the name of the head of the country (river crab), I promise that I will never treat them badly, and I will never let anyone hurt them." I'll treat them as my own. ”

"Thanks! Heads. He stood up inexplicably and made a solemn military salute.

"Hmm." The old man patted He Inexplicable on the shoulder, looked into his eyes and said, "If you should prepare, go and prepare!" It's best to meet Avril and the others before you go! ”

He inexplicably put down his hand, shook his head and said, "No." We'll see you again. Chief, peace does not last long. We must gather more strength before war strikes again. ”

The old man did not answer, but nodded heavily.

In fact, there is no need to be reminded inexplicably, the old man who controls the entire country has also gained insight into everything from the information transmitted from various channels. Yajin Duwey's battle, although ZAFT failed, but with the suicide of Patrick Sarah, the power of the Sara faction also hidden. That's a bunch of war maniacs! Even if they have an epiphany and stop asking about the world, there will be people with bad intentions who will come to their door and encourage them to pilot the body again and launch an attack on the world.

Looking at the old man's increasingly solemn face, He inexplicably knew that what he needed to say had been finished.

He slowly raised his head, looked at the bright moon above the night sky, and said slowly, "It's time to leave!" ”
