Chapter 14: Pool Talk
To be honest, Roger was a little wronged this time:
In the original book, when the three future GUNBUSTER pilot candidates meet each other frankly in the bathhouse, a team of RX-7s will appear outside the window to watch them. It's actually easy to find out who the voyeur is, and people who run can't run the body, but that's where Roger is curious.
Theoretically speaking, these members of the TOP troops, who are trump cards in their respective countries, certainly have the right to change the livery of their own bodies at will. However, in general, everyone still retains a little bottom line, and generally speaking, it is necessary to highlight personal style, but also not to forget about national cultivation and so on. Therefore, if you look closely, you can roughly estimate the driver's nationality based on his appearance alone. However, although Roger did not know much about the original text of this mission plane, he had inadvertently jot down a strange detail-ββ
The last unit of the voyeur team, the paint content obviously has little to do with the country, but it has a standard Adidas logo......
Could it be that in the sequence of the Earth Space Army in this plane, Adidas can also be counted as a national force alone?
It was precisely because he was curious about this that Roger stopped the team near the time of the incident and was about to go out for daily space training, wanting to ask whose body paint was so advertisemental, or how much Adi spent to sign him.
As for the crime of peeping at girls taking a shower itself, Roger is also a man, and although he is not interested in the nudity of his students, he also does not want to interfere with the private interests of the members of the TOP force. And in a few months, I don't know how many of these children will be able to continue to live, and on the premise that they can't get over their addictions, at least let them get over their eyes.
As a result, before someone could get an answer to what he wanted to ask, Jung rushed out of his room earlier than expected, so the former's behavior naturally changed in the eyes of the latter, who was also familiar with the plot.
"Okay, instructor! I don't see you doing anything serious.,You've grown up in this kind of crooked and unrelated aspect.,Are you still planning to integrate the camera records on each of these guys' bodies.,The last 3D version is out?! β
Even before Roger had time to look back to confirm Jung's expression, the roar of the former super abyss had already sounded in the psychic link, and it was deliberately amplified by DG.
Someone is not stupid, he doesn't actually need to look at it to know that the whole thing must be fanned by DG behind his back. But he also knows that he has just failed Jung's expectations in other aspects, so even if the other party knows that he has been wronged, he will still deliberately use the topic to play. So his response in Psychic Link is also very unscrupulous," ...... Do you still need to get these little ghosts to shoot? DG there is an HD version there! β
That's right, even if you die, you must not make the other perpetrator feel better.
Unfortunately, this kind of clumsy provocation is certainly not going to make a difference, and the existence of DG is no secret to Priscia in the first place, let alone Jung, who has already gotten to know each other better in this mission plane. It's just that in front of a bunch of hot-blooded little boys who don't know what will happen after a certain amount of time, Jung can't do anything because of the facts that haven't been created yet, so he can only let Roger go for the time being.
"DG, there are also a lot of your own bath shots, right?" In Psychic Link, Jung's voice clearly turns in an erratic direction.
But the threat is real.
Although Roger didn't think that a devil instructor like himself would have any support, who made the environment in the space station relatively closed?
What he showed as a person was "just" an image of an iron-blooded instructor who was injured and retired after fighting the cosmic monster for the first time. In the future, when the official war starts, I am afraid that it will be indispensable on the streets, but only now that the vast majority of earthlings have not even seen the true face of the enemy, especially the elites of the TOP troops, the more they know about the RX-7 series, the more the pilots will have a more in-depth experience of Roger's "hard-won heroic identity".
Even if Kasumi Amano may not have made a secret promise like in the original book, but who knows if there are any other female drivers like Jung in the original book, who will just look at it from afar a few times and get a lot of after a few words of training?
After all, in Roger's initial plane, there were often female freshmen in high school or college, and it was easy to become infatuated with ordinary soldiers (instructors) who came up to give them military training at the beginning of the school.
Or even if none of these are available, if the naked ugliness leaks into the hands of the students, his position as an instructor is probably over. Who will listen to the reprimand of a guy who used to be slick in front of his eyes?
Well, in order to prove his innocence and clear up any misunderstandings that are not conducive to the unity and cooperation between the reincarnated, Roger had to deliberately clear his throat after Jung bypassed them a few meters away, and loudly issued a temporary increase in the coordinates and time limits of the training.
And the former super abyss basically knew as soon as he heard it, the instructor did not leave much spare time for those little boys who had nowhere to vent their energy all day long, and according to the series of coordinates given by Roger just now, no matter how they were by the way, the scenery by the window of the women's bathhouse was a few kilometers away from them......
Count you as acquaintances!
Jung snorted coldly, and went straight to the bathroom without looking back.
Roger, on his part, secretly finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to ask the boring question of who was driving Adidas amid the sighs of the little ghosts.
β¦β¦
In a certain place that the reincarnators have not yet come into contact with, Noriko Takaya is telling her sister about her past.
Or rather, his past as a father who was the admiral of the Space Fleet.
It's a good father who has always lacked time to spend with his family because of his busy work, but he only has to find time to spend with his daughter on Noriko's birthday every year.
Yes, although not competent, it is enough in every sense to be defined as the father of a good person.
Perhaps it could be seen that Kasumi Amano was a little absent-minded about the topic, and after a few minutes of slightly sadness, Noriko decisively and empathetically turned the conversation back to many recent events.
For example, the duel that was inexplicably interrupted by her screaming.
In the eyes of the plane heroine, her incompetence is the key reason for her sister's disparity with that Soviet genius. So although she was a little unwilling in her heart, she still praised her talent as usual, and repented that she shouldn't have affected her sister and so on because of herself.
In Amano's ears, these clumsy comforting lines were even harsher. Because except for the two reincarnators, only she knows that the so-called duel that seemed to be a tie in the previous one actually lost more than one in many aspects.
And the most hateful thing is that he can intuitively experience the other's extraordinary, but in the whole process of the duel, the guy named Jung really didn't show any physical fitness or driving skills beyond ordinary people from beginning to end.
Yes, not at all.
Even more like a normal person than Kashiwahara, who deliberately lost to Noriko before, his own classmate who never really denied releasing water or anything like that.
However, from the moment they started fighting, Kasumi Amano clearly knew that the enemy on the opposite side was definitely a monster.
Far more than Kashiwahara, far more than normal humans, and even some terrifying monsters close to the instructor level.
Wait, why is there an Instructor Roger in the above judging criteria?
And even if there is him, why would he subconsciously divide the instructor into human beings?
(And "rightfully" above that Jung...... οΌ
Compared to that, the cosmic monster that was locked in a glass instrument was nothing. Although that thing is several times larger than the RX-7 that I am driving in terms of size alone.
Kasumi Amano actually knew very well that of the three people present at the time, except for Noriko Takaya, who caused her mentality to be unbalanced because she recalled her father who sacrificed her father, the other two, or everyone, actually didn't have any fear of that cosmic monster. Of course, it's not because the specimen is dead, but judging from the confidence of a TOP force, a monster of that level shouldn't pose any threat to itself.
This is probably also a type of so-called "intuition", right?
But then again, if such an instructor and such a monster-level genius had also been defeated by a cosmic monster, or had to gather the strength of countless people together in order to set off to contend with the cosmic monster, then what would the real enemy that had been hidden in the depths of the universe be?
Can a human like himself, who is at best "good enough", really play his due role in the upcoming battle?
β¦β¦
My sister was a little distracted by the problem, and she didn't notice that her absent-minded attitude had actually caused a little misunderstanding on Noriko Takaya's side. But as an admirer, of course Noriko doesn't care about such a trivial matter.,If my sister doesn't even want to discuss this issue.,Of course, I'll have to keep my mouth shut quietly.,So as not to make a noise.γ
So the plane heroine naturally got up from the bath and walked in the direction of the shower.
Be a little more interesting, and leave enough space for my sister to meditate alone. Anyway, the things that are worth thinking about my sister must be much more important than my own boring nagging.
While unscrewing the faucet with her hands and pouring warm water into the wooden basin, Noriko Takaya didn't feel any loss.
In fact, from a very early age, or at least from the time of the war with Kashiwahara-senpai, Noriko Takaya has made her position very clear-
Although I don't understand what the reason for the instructor to be optimistic about herself, Noriko actually knows very well that even if she has experienced strict training and self-restraint, her real strength is far inferior to that of Kashiwahara Senpai, and she may not be enough to partner with her sister at all.
But it doesn't matter, he can really get stronger gradually, and almost every minute, Noriko has not given up chasing the distant target ahead.
It's as if my sister and Jung had inadvertently left themselves far behind, but if they paused slightly, Noriko's side would try to catch up.
No matter how difficult this experience of catching up is, no matter what kind of obstacles will arise in the process, inexplicable obstacles, etc., Noriko Takaya will bravely meet it and solve it one by one.
Not only for herself, but also for Kashiwahara-senpai, for Kimiko, and for more Okinawa high school students who don't even have the opportunity to come to the universe.
Even if you keep losing, at least you have to do your best.
β¦β¦
"The psychological fluctuations fed back by DG don't seem to be good."
Jung, who had already walked to the bathroom and had even unloaded his clothes, hesitated slightly in the dressing room, and then opened the psychic link again.
Roger, who originally thought that he would not be the object of the call in a short period of time, was a little inexplicable, "Although I don't know what the Dao DG is for Lu and even the telepathic ability is open to you, or under its modulation, is it actually that you already have this kind of perception, but don't you think that I shouldn't be involved in the gossip of the three little girls' bathhouse?" β
"Nonsense, it's not because you have to ask me to start that plot battle." It sounds like a complete shirk of responsibility, but Jung's arrogance does a good job of believing it.
Although he still whispered something, someone still admitted it quite unwillingly. "Are you trying to say that Kasumi Amano and Noriko Takaya have both been hit by your previous performance?"
"I've said a long time ago that someone like Kasumi Amano, who hasn't experienced any setbacks since she was a child, once she finds out that the gap between her and me is so far that it's hard to measure, it will definitely deal a major blow to her self-confidence and even her character or personality, which is why I don't want to fight her now."
"Did you really say that? β¦β¦ Okay, that's not the point, and she's the only one who is afraid, shouldn't it be Noriko Takaya who was depressed after seeing the cosmic monster specimen? β
"That's another reason I'm talking to you! Judging from the current situation, Noriko Takaya is still full of interest, as if she has not deepened any psychological trauma at all. And then again, why do I think her nostalgia for her father is purely in the column of happy memories, and the components of negative emotions such as sadness and pain are getting weaker and weaker? β
"Because Lily empathizes ......"
"Well, I'm stupid enough to want to ask you, it's really my mistake."
"Hey, you can't be such a joke, right?"
β¦β¦
After that, no matter how Roger admitted his mistake in a low profile in the psychic link, Jung's side still "heavyly" closed the call between the two parties.
Then, through the on-site information indirectly transmitted from DG, Roger knew that his good student really still had the idea of "sacrificing the little self", posed as the stupid big sister of the Soviet Union in the original book, walked into the bathroom openly, and used his big grin to act as a mental buffer for the two plane heroines.
As for the actual effect of her contrived words, only God knows.
Anyway, judging from Noriko Takaya's eyes, it seems that the effect is not bad.
But if she switched to Amano Kasumi, the monster she had identified before suddenly appeared in front of her like a natural fool without any scheming, which only seemed to arouse her suspicion more and more.
In order to remedy this aspect, Jung began to talk endlessly about his experience in the cosmic war while soaking in the bath.
Of course, it is not a man-to-man exercise, but some details of the battle against cosmic monsters that can be announced to the public, or that can be conveyed to future GUNBUSTER pilots.
Anyway, so far, mankind's understanding of cosmic monsters is still purely in the melee type, and the artillery type.
(Jung had also faced the high-speed type in previous battles, but usually this kind of combat was completely intolerant of other natives, at most she used some FOLD techniques to keep her battle away from the support fleet, and all the video and communication records were properly tampered with with the assistance of DG, etc.) οΌ
There is no way to do the shelling, only to watch the shield and the luck of dodging. The former is not reflected in the RX series at least on the body, so Jung deliberately brushed it off with a "it's useless" attitude. Of course, the focus of "boasting" is on the side of the corps.
"The size of this cosmic monster is not set in stone, and the specimen we saw before is nothing more than a medium-sized ......"
The former super abyss doesn't have much talent for storytelling, but because the material itself has been double-screened by DG and her, it is still fascinating, so the two plane heroines can be regarded as fascinated by listening.
Then unconsciously, Noriko Takaya's hatred for the remnants of cosmic monsters, as well as Kasumi Amano's confusion and fear of the unknown, were gradually diluted in the still vivid explanation.
Gently wiping a handful of cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, Jung finally breathed a sigh of relief while continuing to change the topic in a small range under DG's prompting.
"Hey, instructor, this was supposed to be your part, okay? Can't just because I'm an intellectual-side reincarnation, just throw everything related to ideological work to me, okay?! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ here is still the dividing line of the transitional chaptersββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Since the arm is not yet complete, even if it is three or five thousand a day during this time, the content must be drowsy, right?
There's no way, if it's replaced with a 10,000-word chapter, this part may be able to skip over quickly in two or three days, after all, I don't think anyone will want to see the psychological journey of the characters in the brain and so on. But that's my personal habit, and it seems even more unreasonable to waste too much time on so-called battle scenes.
