Chapter 71: Mourning (1)

In 2048, Okinawa High School, on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the victory of the absolute defense operation of the solar system.

On the list of alumni who participated in the meeting, the name of Reiko Kashiwahara was clearly marked.

It seems that it is not enough to underline with a red pen, and it is necessary to use an extension line to wind out until the name of "Coach Kasumi Amano".

In the student council office, which had long since passed the school ban time, a girl dressed in a space army dress read the list with a wry smile on her lips.

The end point of the single FLOD should have been outside the Chong Nu campus, but after the teleportation was completed, the girl found herself standing in this office, and she was afraid that she would not see it, and the alumni list was spread out in the most conspicuous place.

Needless to say, this must be DG's masterpiece.

Then the one who was forced to come to see the guest list was, of course, Major Reiko Kashiwahara. (Note 1)

Well, speaking of which, Kashiwahara-senpai is now over forty years old in her household registration, and in fact, she has been on the earth for at least twenty-nine years, so she can't be described as a "girl" anyway, but who has let the big sword-style transformation of the year have been working in a real way......

Whether that red mark was done by young people like Akai Takami or a certain doppelganger of DG who was bored, poor Kashiwahara really didn't know very well. Although she had been with some of the DG clones in the Silverheart Fleet for a long time, she still had the same confusion as Jung about what Roger's symbiote was thinking.

Especially this time back to school, it will never appear in the original book of the so-called plane - of course, Kashiwahara in the original book will have become the headmistress of Oki in 2048, and it is impossible to follow it to the Silver Heart Fleet or anything like that - even if the GUNBUSTER No. 3 does depart from the solar system at this point in time, but based on some dialogues in the original book, it can be inferred that even without the pilot of Kasumi Amano, I am afraid that the pure use of the unmanned control system can still reach the destination.

Then, there is no need for someone to be sent back to "greet" Lieutenant Colonel Amano.

But then again, in fact, the "Absolute Defense Battle Commemoration" event itself does not exist at all in the original book. And even if the Silver Heart Fleet has assembled a super luxury lineup like Roger, Jung, Noriko Takaya and Kashiwahara, its huge logistical supply needs will also squeeze the earth for fifteen years enough. If it weren't for the fact that Takami Akai in the original plane book was able to ask Kasumi Amano to give Aunt Noriko such a "luxury" as a thousand paper cranes, Roger and DG would have defined today's earth as "more resource-scarce than the one in the BETA plane......

"Now it seems, after all, it's slightly stronger than in the original so-called plane books." This is an inconsequential conclusion that Kashiwahara came to after his mind wandered.

Then, another person's voice sounded in the office, almost startling the new reincarnation, "Of course, otherwise wouldn't all our efforts over the years be wasted?" ”

"Yes, too...... I should have guessed that you would be waiting for me here. The reason why I didn't notice the appearance of Kasumi Amano just now was purely because I was used to being given early warning by the DG clone, and now this situation DG must be caused by "not helping each other", and it can't be really scared to the point of collapse, of course, it is easy to adjust the mentality.

Kasumi Amano, on the other hand, has been at ease from beginning to end, she has been a coach for fifteen years, and she is enough to support her to appear in any corner of the Okinawa women's high school. If, if you count all the "this trap is secretly calculated by her and the DG clone a long time ago" on the other side...... "Because there is not much time left before the final battle that you have repeatedly emphasized, right?" Even with something as convenient as a long-distance telepathic link, there are obviously fewer opportunities to communicate with you or Noriko herself than before. ”

Yes, this is another question that Major Kashiwahara cannot avoid.

Although neither the reincarnation team members nor Noriko Takaya's side actually have any intention of alienating Amano Kasumi - doing this to the second heroine of the plane, whether it is public or private, it is not in everyone's interests - but due to the speed of time and the problem of objective combat needs, the entire Silver Heart Fleet has to stop and go all the time, and it is not a WARP matter.

It is not difficult to detonate a black hole bomb in the center of the galaxy, but in order to ensure that the lair of the cosmic monster is completely destroyed and at the same time there are not too many enemies that slip through the net, the so-called Caruniades plan (Operation Aegis) is to deploy at least three Slave detonation control devices within a radius of 1,000 light years from the center of the galaxy.

The coordinates of each control device are not just a walk around and an alarm clock is over. If the intended area has been invaded by cosmic monsters, it is obvious that the Silverheart Fleet needs to clear the field before it can continue to work. Coming and going, although it won't be more than 3,000 battles in a row during this time, the acceleration and deceleration process alone is enough to consume a lot of time, isn't it?

What about this side of the planet? Amano Kasumi's teaching work is also very busy, and in the past fifteen years, he has sent nearly 100 people to the Sizila army alone, and it is easy to say that among these students are more qualified. Those who were only one kick away from the door had to ask her coach to help make up for it...... The elders of the Amano family have complained more than once that she "doesn't even have time for a blind date", so in this case, it is absolutely extravagant to die to try to come up with a "plan" that everyone has a complete block of time to chat.

This kind of result was already considered when Amano Kasumi made her choice, so she didn't really indulge herself in "endless loneliness". Even sometimes my sister will wonder if it was not themselves who chose to stay behind but someone else (such as Kashiwahara in the original book), would they be able to endure this "loneliness"?

And let's not talk about these sour things, just those guys don't look old for more than ten years, they can cause all kinds of weird trouble, right?

Relatively speaking, this old woman is really suitable for this kind of scene in all aspects.

So the next moment, my sister took the initiative to speak again: "...... Although we were classmates, I have become an old woman who is more than 10 years older than you......" (Note 2)

Hey, doesn't it matter if you use other people's lines in the original plane without permission? Especially when that "other person" is clearly standing in front of you?

It's not an illusion, as soon as the words on my sister's side fell, the above sentence rang in her own ears and Kashiwahara's ears at the same time.

Then, they were completely ignored by the two who were already used to it.

"First of all, there are not as many as ten years, whether you go to LEAF64 or the absolute defense of the solar system, I basically stay on Earth." Turning around completely, Kashiwahara, who subconsciously tidied up the military hat on his head first, was actually quite calm in terms of tone. "Moreover, apart from a slight change in your hairstyle, are you really 'old' in other aspects?"

The answer, of course, is no.

Even in the original plane work, Kasumi Amano, who suffered the pain of losing her husband, only became more stable and mature in temperament, and there were no additional details such as "wrinkles" at all. Now that there are DG clones in this plane secretly helping, even if you don't use any means such as broadsword transformation, it's still easy to look as young as possible.

And in fact, not every woman wants to stay at the age of a little girl, especially the small exception of those who have absolute confidence in their appearance and are committed to cultivating their temperament from a very early age, adjusting their external age to their early twenties.

Belch...... Seems a bit off-topic?

But my sister took the initiative to propose that DG, the mastermind behind the scenes, fully cooperated to create this meeting itself, did anyone say that it was just a simple, embarrassing reunion of old friends?

"By the way, there's one more thing that's actually more difficult to arrange than to reminisce, but it's quite important...... For the past 15 years, you have been fighting on the front line, and I have been with the students of Okinawa Girls' High School on holidays. ”

"You still want to do that duel again, right?"

This tacit understanding is probably the real tacit understanding.

A battle that should theoretically be evenly matched, but is likely to be very different, is just the warm-up for the upcoming Silver Heart showdown.

Whether it's my sister or Kashiwahara's side, this is the thought that turns in my heart.

As for whether this "revenge war" itself has any positive significance, whether it is deliberately provoked by DG behind it again, etc., it doesn't seem to matter much.

Well, it's just a look.

Because just when these two walked out of the office and the Okinawa women's high school district one after another, and were about to fly to the far side of the moon again to practice, they were directly banned remotely by Roger in the name of coaching.

Then, it didn't work.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” this is again a dividing line of irrelevant details such as ranksβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Note 1: In the sixth episode of the original book, Kasumi Amano is already Lieutenant Colonel Ota, and everyone knows this. She's Captain Amano in the fifth episode, which is different from the one in this novel, but no one seems to have brought it up when I wrote it. Personally, it's because Noriko Takaya has been cooperating well with her sister after the plot change, and Roger's own record is too dazzling, and the unmanned space fighter has taken most of the credit, so the heroine duo has always maintained the rank of lieutenant. It doesn't matter anyway, just take a look.

Note 2: Regarding the malice of G Society, I remember emphasizing before that with Kashiwahara's official age, as long as he dresses up a little in the sixth episode, it is absolutely impossible to be the kind of person who wants to be seventy or eighty. The specifics will not be repeated, this note indicates that there is obvious foreshadowing here, and I believe everyone can see the content. If you can't see it...... I won't explain it on my side......
