"Princess. We'll take care of the rest. On behalf of the entire crew of Minerva, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the princess in the previous battles and to the help she has provided us. "Durandal, the new president of PLANT, politely thanked the girl sitting in the guest seat.

The blonde girl in a white military uniform in front of her is the new representative of Orb, Cagalli Yura Asla. Her arrival was due to a meeting between Orb and PLANT. It's just that in this meeting, there were some surprises. First of all, the first surprise was that the girl actually landed in the universe and came to PLANT, which made Dilandal very surprised.

Because Cagalli Yura Ashar's current situation is known almost all the leaders of the world. The young girl, the heir of the Asgha family, one of the leaders of the Orb family, fell ill in the great war a few years ago, and thus lost her mobility and was confined to a wheelchair all day long. Under such circumstances, Dilandal felt a little respect for the girl who came to PLANT and appeared in front of him.

Then, while leading Cagalli Yura Assha and others to visit the military base, the attack took place. Although this attack was expected by the old fox Dirandal, he never imagined that the young man standing next to Cagalli Yura Assha was so terrifying because of the scars on his face that he had to wear a mask turned out to be a good driver of the MS.

When Cagalli Yura Asha's crisis was in crisis, the masked man held the incapacitated Cagalli without saying a word, climbed to the side of Zaku, suppressed the enemy, and repelled the enemy with the Pulse Gundam that followed.

This series of accidents made Dilandal feel very delicate.

Although this series of events was indispensable to his covert planning, the fact that it was going so smoothly made Dirandal feel that everything was under control.

Especially when Cagalli is in danger again, the masked man stands up again and points out a way out for Minerva, who is in crisis. As a result, the old fox Dirandal became interested in the identity of the Masked Man.

However, this interest was perfectly hidden by the old fox.

In Cagalli's opinion, the old fox's current performance is just a sign of gratitude from her guards for saving Minerva's life-and-death crisis.

"No, Speaker Durandal. It's something we can do. Personally, I'd love to help you more, but because of some relationship, we're just going to have to stay here and watch you work for the planet. Cagalli shook her head, sincere, even embarrassed. Since Cagalli and his party stayed on the Minerva, ZAFT's newest battleship, without going through formal official procedures, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, both Dilandal and Cagalli tacitly maintained a tacit understanding.

"I know that. There is no need for the representative to feel guilty about this. Dirandal nodded, and turned slightly to look at the female captain sitting in the captain's seat below, Talia Curradis. Well, of course. In private, this outstanding female captain also has an identity, the lover of PLANT Speaker Gilbert DiLandal.

The two with such an emotional experience will naturally have a high degree of tacit understanding.

Captain Talia nodded, got up from her chair, looked at Cagalli sincerely, and said, "Representative, our room for you is ready. For the rest of the time, please take a good rest. Since the ship is now performing special tasks, please forgive the representatives for any inconvenience! ”

As Captain Talia spoke, the old fox Dilandar also gave an apologetic look at the right time.

Although she has experienced a tragic battlefield that ordinary people can't imagine, Cagalli, who is not mature enough in some aspects, naturally can't detect that the former lovers of Dilandar and Talia secretly teamed up to exclude her from the next action.

"yes, I see. I'm so tired of you. Captain. Cagalli thought about it for a moment, but finally agreed. Speaker, I'll leave for a moment. ”

"Well, reps don't need to be that outlooked. We at PLANT and Orb have always been close and friendly countries. Next, please have a good rest! Representative. Dirandal smiled kindly and sent Cagalli and the others out of Minerva's bridge with words of concern.

After seeing the figures of Cagalli and the others isolated from the bridge, the beautiful female captain stood on the side of the captain's seat, looked up, and turned her eyes back to her former lover, Gilbert DiRandal.

"Speaker. What a big problem! The captain said.

Dilandal sighed, as if he had a little helplessness. "There's no way around that. Captain. Everything happened so suddenly. ”

"Really? Is it as sudden as the sudden landing of Junius 7, which should have been in the universe for hundreds of years? ”

Dilandar stared at him and said solemnly, "Yes! It was a very sudden thing. Captain, can I ask you for the next action? ”

"That's all there is to it for now." Talia knew that only the new ship Minerva, with its high speed, would be able to complete the next mission. But, before that, there is one more thing that must be resolved. "Speaker, if something uncontrollable happens, please leave Minerva and return to PLANT immediately! It doesn't matter if the Minerva is lost, but if anything goes wrong with you, Speaker, the PLANT, and even the ZAFT will be thrown into chaos. ”

Dilandal looked at Taria, who had said these words in a forced tone with a serious expression, and was slightly stunned for a moment, and then showed a gentle smile. "yes, I see. It's up to you to take care of everything. Taria. ”

Dimly lit room.

An emaciated figure sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Judging by the way he looks, it seems like he's been sitting here for a while.

At this moment, the bright lights in the hallway scattered into the room as the automatic doors opened, dispelling the darkness that surrounded the boy.

"So you're here! True. A familiar and gentle voice rang out.

The boy looked up and looked at the visitor, and saw that it was his roommate and comrade-in-arms, Ray Za Barrel.

"Hmm. Just want to be quiet. Zhen nodded and said casually.

Ray, who had long blond hair, stood at the door, stared at Zhen, and said slowly, "Although it is not right to disturb you, but next, we must go and standby." The Minerva is going to smash the 7 of Junius that fell towards the earth! Really, the mission is coming! ”

"I see! Coming soon! Shin closed her eyes and nodded.

The automatic door closed, and after informing Shin, Ray left the room and went to Gnaku to stand by.

Surrounded by silence again, Shin stood quietly in front of the table, staring at the pink flip phone on the table with a strip of blue, black and red beads.

Reached

Pick it up,

Open the flip cover,

Looking at the keys that are already familiar and can no longer be familiar,

true

Stretch out your fingers,

With a few clicks on the key, a familiar voice played out of the microphone.

"I'm Mayu. I'm sorry though. Now I can't answer the phone for the time being, please leave your name and phone number and I will get back to you soon. ”

···

"Mayo!! Wake up!! ”

A scream broke the tension inside the battleship.

In the midst of that piercing scream, a confused girl fell to the ground and was pulled out of bed.

"Mayo! Mayo!! Wake up!! Task!! The mission is about to begin!! ”

With that powerful shaking, the girl in the confused DEBUF that came with getting up finally came to her senses.

"Task? Task? Task!!! ”

"Time? Time!? What time is it!? ”

Another scream tore through the tension inside the battleship.

Major Marius Ramias, who was wearing a white unified officer uniform, looked helplessly at the two girls in front of him who lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her, sighed and said, "Stella, Mayo. Although you were not incorporated into the army, you are no different from the military now. Watch the timing! ”

"Yes! Sister Maliu! Stella and Mayu shouted happily when they heard that Malu didn't mean to punish them.

"It's the captain!! You two, have you forgotten again? The tall girl standing beside Malu corrected Stella and Mayo with a serious face. The coldness of his gaze suddenly made Stella and Mayo shrink their necks in unison.

"Yes! Captain! Be! Captain!! The two women's desire to survive has always been strong, and while feeling the cold chill, they reacted instantly.

"Forget it! Avril. Malu waved her hand, and her face straightened. Second Lieutenant Avril, as well as Warrant Officer Stella and Warrant Officer Mayu. The ship is now heading towards the Celestial Domain where the Junius 7 is located. According to the forecast, the ship will enter the distance where the Junius 7 can be observed in half an hour. At that point, Second Lieutenant Avril, your team may be sent over there to check on the situation. ”

Marliu paused, his face was solemn, and he said in a stern voice: "Although you have been unanimously approved by the instructors on the test base, actual combat is a completely different concept from the exercise. I hope you will think clearly, do you want to participate in the next mission? ”

With that, the sternness on Maliu's face subsided, and a friendly smile was replaced by a friendly smile. "Of course, you can give up participating in this mission."

however

The girl team led by Avril doesn't seem to be backing down.

After glancing at each other, they all stepped forward and saluted to Maliu neatly: "Captain, I have applied to participate in this mission!" ”

"It's a real fight! Once you enter the battlefield, life and death are not up to you! Is that okay? Avril, Stella, Mayo, if something goes wrong with you, how will I face your big brother when he returns? When Malu saw that the previous method had failed, she immediately switched to an emotional offensive.

In the years that He was inexplicably away, although he was taken care of by the previous chief, more often. Avril's siblings, as well as Stella and Mayo, are all taken care of by Marlu. Therefore, Malu has already established a deep relationship with these four little ones.

However, such an emotional offensive only made the three girls hesitate for a while. Eventually, at the firm request of Avril's three daughters, Marlough agreed to their request to attack.

After seeing Avril Lavigne off, Malu turned around. Through the glass, he looked at the three new airframes neatly parked in the Gnaku. From the outline of these three new airframes, Malu vaguely saw the golden airframe that had once won the battle of Yajin Duwei.

"Are you back?"
