Chapter XIII: The Acting of the Führer

"-So many important things, what do you mean by hiding them in your heart all the time!" Cagalli, who had been in Ozmi's office the day before, snarled at the new head of state.

Because the maid was still angry, Lyle, who was lying on the sofa, could not enjoy the knee pillow service, and waved her hand when she heard the words: "If I say it in advance, I will not be a 'loser of Orb', without this convenient character, I would not have made Caleps so easily." ”

"After all, you still don't trust us!" Cagalli said angrily.

"It turns out that two of the Big Five are undercover pig teammates and two are incompetent pig teammates, and I feel that I made a wise choice back then." Lyle paused and turned to look at Cachari, "However, after Calups is done, I can accept a pig teammate like you. ”

"Miss Cagalli." Mizuho next to her handed an envelope to Cagalli at the right time.

Cagalli took the envelope suspiciously, opened it, and took out a letter of appointment: "What?!" You want to appoint me as the Führer's deputy? ”

"If I spend too much time on administration, my research time will be greatly reduced, and only I know how to modify the resource satellite, so I don't have time to stay on Orb's side." Lyle is much safer on the Resource Satellite than on Orb, which is a big reason why he doesn't want to live in protective armor every day.

"Then why don't you appoint a father?" Cagalli was puzzled.

"You're stupid, all I need now is an agent to help with simple administrative matters, not a deputy who might make his own decisions." Now that Lyle had inherited his ancestral legacy, and sat in the position of Führer Orb, he would not allow anyone to touch his rudder.

“…… I don't feel happy. Cagalli accepted the answer depressedly, and just as she was about to put away the letter of assignment, she suddenly noticed one of the lines of text, "Hey, Lyle, you wrote the official document with a snack, and there are a few more words here, and it has become the dress entrusted to me." ”

Lyle waved his hand: "Not much, please interpret it literally, if you wear a skirt, you are 'Aubu's deputy', if you don't wear it, it's not, not only do others not need to listen to what you say, but you will also be counted as absenteeism and deduction of wages - Mizuho, be sure to inform everyone about this matter, I'm worried that someone is pretending to be the Führer's agent to exercise power." ”

"Yes~" Mizuho snickered.

Cagalli tore up the letter of appointment in her hand a few times, and said loudly: "What are you kidding, so that I won't become the laughing stock of all Orb?!" Write me a serious letter of appointment! ”

Lyle suddenly said in a serious tone: "It's okay, it's not me who is being ridiculed." ”

"Why don't you die!" Cagalli rudely jumped on the couch and jumped on top of Lyle, who was lying flat, despite her fluttering dress.

"Come, jump with a little force, jump high, let me feel the protective effect of the protective armor I built!"

By the way, Lyle wasn't joking, the letter of appointment was really sent through official channels, and then leaked by internal staff.

"We're the test pilots of the new MS......"

"All of a sudden, it became a maintenance person...... No, I don't have the knowledge of maintenance personnel, so I can only work as a porter. ”

“…… After changing from a soldier to a porter, will our wages be reduced? ”

The trio of test pilots, who were on duty today, lay on the table like dead fish after listening to Lyle's inaugural speech.

However, they were one of the very few people who felt negative after listening to Lyle's speech, and the vast majority of the citizens of Orb were excited after listening to the speech - just like the Asuka brothers and sisters at the next table.

"Brother, do you hear it? The new Führer, he has already fought with aliens! My sister screamed excitedly.

“…… Since Caleps is an organism capable of precise wormhole movement, it must be equipped with some kind of space device that may be able to detect the traces of aliens who are also moving wormholes. Asuka calmly analyzed.

"Aliens, though...... Wouldn't it be a little dangerous? After the excitement, my sister began to worry again, "After all, it's an alien, isn't it?" Maybe some of the aliens are technologically advanced than the new Führer's Caleps, and we simply won't be able to win. ”

If Lyle is defeated, it will not only destroy the Macross Fortress, but sooner or later it will also harm all the humans left in the solar system.

"I can't rule it out, it's just ...... Humanity has to get out of the solar system after all, doesn't it? The real bird smiled helplessly.

My sister thought about it and had to nod: "Okay, this has always been the direction of all mankind's efforts, I'm just a little worried......"

"Worried...... Is it? Asuka turned his gaze to Lyle in armor on the screen, replaying an image in his mind.

On the day the Federation attacked Orb, the family was unable to complete the evacuation due to some force majeure, and on the way to the shelter, he saw the whole process of Caleps protecting Orb.

From that day on, he was disgusted with himself who could only flee, and longed for Lyle, who guarded Orb.

The flame in the young man's heart was ignited for the first time in his life.

"Sorry, can I go home today? I have something I want to talk to my parents about. Asuka asked her sister.

"Huh, what's the matter?" My sister was curious.

"—I'm going to apply to join the 'Super Robotics Project'!"

》》》》》》》

"Hey, to put it bluntly, it's just-[You imbeciles continue to fight among themselves, we Orb are playing with aliens]." Dior, who was lying in the hammock and watching the live broadcast, casually put his mobile phone back in his bag, "This guy is good, much more interesting than those official uncles, I want to apply to join the 'Super Robot Project'." ”

"Haha, it's a pity, the five of you, like the four of us, must be on the unwelcome list." Lok Ang smiled at the group of temporary allies he had met during the defense of Orb, but his expression quickly became gloomy, "...... However, if it were him, I really hope that he would use absolute power to suppress all mankind, and not only would the world be peaceful for decades, but also move in the right direction, right? ”

Everyone was silent.

Wu Xiaoqiang is not as naïve as the driver of the celestials, but he is an anti-war person after all.

Now there is really a man who can make the war disappear as long as he is not assassinated, but this man chooses to take off with only the people of his homeland, so that the nine Gundam pilots who are still doing their best for the cause of justice are about to suffocate their internal injuries.

"Found it! That guy hacked into the traces of VEDA! Tieria broke the silence.

"Did you read that right?" Lockon asked.

Tieria gritted her teeth and said, "Ah, he also deliberately left a mocking message...... How the hell did that guy do it? ”

"Skip the methods and principles, and don't try to estimate the upper limit of genius's abilities with the eyes of mortals." Dio jumped out of the hammock and stretched, "All I know is that the information revealed by the genius is very true, even more true than the information that you open-faced Celestial Gundam pilots know—don't you want to find out why?" ”
