658 On the eve of confluence
"This is the Earth United Eighth Fleet. Archangel number, please answer! ”
"This is the Archangel, and I'm Captain Marius Ramias."
"Marius Ramias? Is it? It's you! It's been a long time! I am Admiral Halbarton of the Eighth Fleet. Archangel number, how is it going? ”
"Yes! Admiral Halbarton! The Archangel is in good condition, but the advance team has been wiped out in the face of the ZAFT fleet. Now our Archangel is under the protection of the Tengyun from friendly forces in the East Asian Federation. ”
"The Clouds?" Halbarton seemed surprised by the appearance of the Clouds, but he quickly calmed down. "Archangel, everything will be discussed in detail after it has converged."
"Yes!"
This is the last line of communication before the convergence with the United Eighth Fleet of Earth. At this point, there is still one day left before the rendezvous.
After this communication ended, Mu was the first to sigh with his back against the wall. "This day of running back and forth is finally coming to an end! It's hard to look back on. ”
Malu nodded sympathetically and said, "Yes! Although it was a bit thrilling, it was finally surviving thanks to the help of Lieutenant Aldesia and Captain Graham. ”
With the good news that they were about to return home, the improvised privates of Dole and Mirialia were able to go back and pack their things and prepare to go home. As a result, Aldesia is once again back in the CIC position that she has been absent for a long time. I saw that this blonde beauty was quite skillful in using the equipment and carrying out the tasks that CIC had to undertake.
And this scene also made Maliu see it. "Lieutenant Aldethea, is there something I can ask you?"
Ardasia, who was working seriously, nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”
"That's offended. I think Lieutenant, your CIC skill level is quite high. Have you done this before? Malu seemed a little hesitant, but she couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart. After all, since they met, Aldesia has shown that she is a blonde beauty pilot with superb MS piloting skills. And now, after Aldesia took over the work of CIC, she is a girl next door with a smile like a spring breeze. The difference is so great that it makes Marlu feel unreal.
In response to Malu's question, Aldesia said calmly: "Well, my previous job was CIC. It's just that something happened, and I got on the MS, and I got on the Gundam. ”
"Sure enough. I still think it's better for Lieutenant Aldesia to stay in the CIC! Malu looked like that's exactly what she was.
Aldesia tuddled her long hair indifferently, looked back at Marlu and said, "No, I prefer to drive the MS to the CIC. After all, that's my brother's way of survival. Only then will I be able to catch up with him as much as I can. ”
"Brother?" Malu seemed a little surprised.
"Hmm. I have an older brother. He's strong. Aldesia nodded.
At this time, Mu, who was watching from the sidelines, was also interested. I saw him ask, "Lieutenant Aldesia, I don't know what your brother's name is?" Maybe I fought alongside him before. ”
Who knew that Ardasia showed a noncommittal expression, she shook her head and said, "Impossible. Adults and my brother have only fought alongside each other in this world, well, once before that. ”
"Colonel Ho?" Maliu and Mu exclaimed at the same time.
Al Daisia pressed the buttons on the keyboard seemingly nonchalantly, talking about her brother's deeds. "Hmm. Yes. My brother's name was Char, and everyone called him Red Comet. ”
"Char? Red Comet? At this time, Mu Mu, the elite pilot who was the focus of the United Earth propaganda, was completely stunned. As an elite pilot, how could he not know his ace pilot? What's more, he also knows a little about the situation on ZAFT's side. But in this case, the Char that Aldesia was talking about, the red comet, no matter how much Mu racked his brain, couldn't remember who it was. There was a moment when Mu wondered if Artesia was lying, but due to Ho's inexplicable existence and the influence of Aldesia's usual style, Mu quickly gave up this idea. Therefore, he began to pay attention to Char, the red comet that Aldesia had in his mouth.
But no matter how much Mu was concerned and how he never forgot it, he couldn't have imagined that the legendary Red Yousan, Red Comet, and Char Aznabul turned out to be from another world.
Just as Malu and Mu racked their brains to recall all the current ace pilots of the human race, a communication from Gnaku interrupted their thoughts.
"Please." Malu pressed the communication button. The head of Cojero Cao suddenly appeared in the frame.
I saw him look around and say, "I said captain, just let that young man be trained?" ”
"Huh?" Maru was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't understood what Cojero meant.
Looking at Maliu's puzzled expression, Cojero scratched his hair helplessly, and then gestured and said, "Captain, captain." Although the rank of the man is very large, it is enough to let him dictate our crew, right? Although the child was only a temporary conscription. ”
"Kid? Temporary call-up? Malu blinked, remembering what was going on.
Since Tengyun and the Archangel reached a short-term offensive and defensive alliance, He inexplicably excused Lin Mingmei to like to stay on the Archangel and stayed on the Archangel. Because the rank on Ho's inexplicable shoulder rolled over everyone on the Archangel, Malu had no choice but to let this unreasonable request go. But she didn't expect that after He inexplicably met Kira Yamato, who had just been temporarily recruited by Bucky Lulu, He inexplicably beat Kira Yamato on the spot on the grounds of disrespect to Shangguan. Since then, this Colonel Ho seems to have set his sights on Kira Yamato, a young man, and he is looking for all kinds of excuses to find fault with him, uh, no, it's training, training Kira Yamato.
Maliu, who used to have a weak personality, was quite unbearable to see Kira being beaten without saying a few more words, so she tried to persuade He Mozhi that there was no need to be so serious, but she didn't expect He Moto to refuse Malu's request. On the contrary, Maliu persuaded a lot, and He who was trained by Kira to train him inexplicably deliberately provoked a few outrageous words. Embarrassed, Malu also had to flee.
Recalling that embarrassing scene, Malu couldn't help but sigh secretly. After thinking about it, Malu still looked back at Aldesia and tried to say, "Lieutenant Aldesia, I don't know if you can..."
"Captain, I can't do that." Without waiting for Malu to finish, Aldesia directly rejected Malu's request. But she showed the way. "But Captain, you can try to find Akemi, Akemi Hayashi. She is able to influence the decisions of adults in many cases. ”
"Huh? Miss Akemi Hayashi? Ma Liu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the relationship between He Moming and Lin Mingmei, and was relieved. But asking her to go to Lin Mingmei for help, how could an indescribable strange feeling arise in her heart. But thinking of a poor young man who was being trained by Colonel He, who was incarnating as a demon instructor, Maliu's motherhood made her unbearable. Finally, Malu sighed faintly.
"Lieutenant Aldeesia, I wonder where Miss Lin Mingmei is now?"
"Hmm~ Now, I should stay with my lord in Gnaku." Ardasia thought about it for a moment and smiled slightly. Look at the glint in her eyes, as if she was expecting something interesting to happen. Malu knew nothing about this. She just had a headache, how could she discuss things with Lin Mingmei in He inexplicably.
In addition to the busy preparation class, all that was left in Gnaku was a teenager who was panting violently, jogging, no, a turtle pace. With fifty kilograms of weight on her back, Kira had already run no less than 100 laps around Gnaku under Ho's inexplicable order. Behind the heavy load and creating such an amazing number of laps, it is He who inexplicably sees what the strongest adjuster is.
"I really didn't expect it! It's just an untrained civilian who can set this record. He stood tall in front of the cockpit of the Strike Gundam, looking down at Kira, who was panting for breath and looking like he had been fished out of the water.
"It's funny to watch. Why bother this child like this? Lin Mingmei, who was standing by her side, watched the whole process of He inexplicably reprimanding Kira from beginning to end. At the beginning, Lin Mingmei still found it interesting. After all, it was the first time she had seen He Moming so obsessed with training a person. But after a long time, Lin Mingmei also began to feel that the trained boy, Kira Yamato, was pitiful, and it was too pitiful.
Why? As long as he showed the slightest hesitation in response to He Mo's order, He Mozhi immediately took action, beating him and scolding him at the lightest. Lin Mingmei's gaze fell on the swollen black and purple patches of the young man, which was the result of the young man's repeated hesitation and disobedience to orders. And after being beaten many times, the boy finally carried out the order honestly, so as not to encounter another inexplicable atrocity from He.
However, even if the young man honestly executes the order, he will still find fault with various excuses. Under grief and indignation, the young man once took off the weight on his body and threw it at He inexplicably with all his strength. The result? Couldn't smash people, but He inexplicably easily caught the weight jacket weighing 50 kilograms with one hand.
"Do you still have the strength to throw things and smash people? Is it energetic? After He inexplicably looked Kira up and down, he said in a voice that only Lin Mingmei could hear: "No wonder you can sleep a scheming." ”
Just in Lin Mingmei's puzzled eyes, a new round of drills from the chief began again.
Suddenly, Lin Mingmei, who was thinking about things, saw in the corner of her eye that Malu was waving to her. So Lin Mingmei said to He inexplicably and roared, and came to Ma Liu.
"Captain, is there something wrong?" Lin Mingmei nodded, as a greeting.
Malu secretly glanced at He Mozhi and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that He Moming was concentrating on training Kira. "Miss Lin Mingmei, I don't know if you can help persuade Colonel He, this is the end of Kira's training, right?"
"Huh? This one! Lin Mingmei blinked, looked back at Kira, who was almost on the ground, and then looked back at Malu and said, "I heard that the Archangel is about to merge with the Eighth Fleet." When the time comes, I will inexplicably stop. ”
"Confluence?" Ma Liu still wanted to fight for it, but seemed to feel He inexplicable eyes looking at this side, so he hurriedly thanked Lin Mingmei and left in a hurry.
Looking at Lin Mingmei, who had returned to his side, He asked inexplicably with some doubts: "What is the matter with Captain Maryu looking for you?" ”
Lin Mingmei shook her head. "Nope. It's Kira's thing. ”
He nodded inexplicably. Presumably because it was about to join the Eighth Fleet, Maliu, a female captain who was full of motherhood, finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she came here. But what Ma Liu didn't expect was that He was also looking forward to the convergence with the Eighth Fleet. Because, at that time, there will be a big war. When the time comes, this Kira, who has been trained under his rigorous training, may create a different result.
