Chapter 21: Still the Suicide Lovers
After Gundam easily moved the gift of turning its nature into a 'commodity' into a space battleship, Ami finally saw aliens...... It's a pity that the appearance of the aliens does not conform to the aesthetics of the fish-people, and the skin color is acceptable, and the skin color of the fish-people who originally lived in different seas is different, and some also have their own patterns and spots, but there are no webs, gills, and fins are really too inconsistent, and they are all physiological defects, right?
The aliens do not conform to the aesthetics of the fish-people, and it is estimated that the fish-people do not meet the aesthetics of the aliens, and Ami thinks that she has a bad future.
Ami and the diplomats were guided by the alien Foreign Minister, Miss Tifa, to the lounge. Although the best place to rest for the Fish-People is the sea, and the soft chair called the 'sofa' is quite interesting, it is not as comfortable as being surrounded by the sea in all directions...... Of course, the aliens have succeeded in conveying kindness, and Ami is not so ignorant.
It didn't take long for the space battleship to leave the ground and fly into the sky, and everyone couldn't help but squeeze to the edge of the standing glass in the lounge, even the oldest and most stable king, watching the sea that he had lived in all his life getting farther and farther away - a few minutes later, Ami knew for the first time that the world he had lived in for more than ten years turned out to be a huge blue sphere.
There was no time for Ami to express her feelings and organize her feelings, and soon came to the place where the aliens lived, a mud-brown sphere much smaller than the mother planet, but it was estimated that it was just a means of transportation, and the aliens also had a home similar to the mother planet elsewhere.
The spaceship flew through a hole in the mud-brown sphere, and after docking, they put on a prop called a "slipper" invented for long-term walking on land, and each person carried a certain amount of "goods" in their backpacks, and walked down the spaceship step by step with the awkwardness on their feet.
They are greeted by the queen, the head maid, and a group of royal guards, and the alien king is not present...... This is also normal, although there are several kings mixed in this team, but unlike the previous summit, this is only a diplomatic mission.
Surprisingly, the queen and the head maid could also speak the language of the Fish-People! It's not Miss Tifa's voice that rings directly in her brain, it's really speaking!
Well, when it comes to diplomatic issues, the work of talking to aliens is not the turn of Ami, the princess who is about to be given away as a gift, and it is done by the leaders of various countries.
"Really, isn't it to give gifts to each other to enhance the relationship? How could the diplomatic team go to the business district to buy things and go back, and that guy is good at asserting himself! β
"Haha...... The master seems to think that this is the healthiest way to interact, and accepting heavy gifts always has a sense of suzerain, and he doesn't like this feeling. β
"Although there is some truth, it still feels very inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette!"
"It's a little weird, but ...... Who made him the head of Orb~ Let's take everyone from the Fish-Man Clan to the business district, right? β
The queen who led the way in front complained about the king in public, still in the language of the fish-people.
Bad relationship between king and queen? But Ami heard her father say that the alien king should be a very friendly man who speaks bluntly and offensively, right, and should be a good husband, right?
"Ahh I kept walking along the passage full of incomprehensible materials, and my feet were a little sore because I wasn't used to walking for a long time, and Ami, who finally walked out of the passage, couldn't help but exclaim.
What appeared before her eyes was a city that she could never have imagined no matter how much she fantasized about it.
The visual shock robbed her of her ability to speak.

ββ¦β¦ I'm kind of sorry Cagalli. "It's true that people have been in the research area since last night, but it's not a critical juncture in research at all, and Lyle simply doesn't want to be a guide for the Fish-People.
"What's wrong?" Graham, who works as a bodyguard on duty, was curious when he heard this.
"A race that doesn't even have metal products, whether they have excellent racial abilities or not, can't change the essence of being a group of technologically backward hillbillies, and you can imagine what kind of ridiculous reaction they will have when they see our city." Lyle looked at the commercial area clinging to the inner walls of the satellite under the gravitational device he had invented, and he knew that Cagalli and Mizuho were already working as guides there," ...... How stupid the reaction of the fish-people is now, and how stupid the reaction will be when I go to the Galactic Alliance later, so when I think about it, I still choose not to see it. β
Graham, who heard the first half of the sentence and thought it would be some kind of shameful remark, furrowed his brows, and was once again convinced that his decision to follow Dr. Efman to Aub was not wrong, and his focus shifted: "Galactic Alliance? Could it be that they have already sent us the spatial coordinates? β
"To be exact, it's for 'me'." Needless to say, Cagalli and her future children are also among them, and there is no way to separate wives from each other, "They think that earthlings are too fierce and do not conform to the ideals of the Galactic Federation - I understand this evaluation." β
Graham's face sank: "I can understand this sentence as the FΓΌhrer, you agreed?" β
'Why not?' The identities of the 'Galactic Alliance National', 'Earthling', and 'Explorer 1 Owner' are not conflicting, and I have an open heart. Lyle withdrew his gaze from the business district and turned to a member of his bodyguard team, "If you think that I am no longer qualified to be the 'FΓΌhrer of Orb', I can give up this status at any time, but it is not you who expel me, but I will throw you back to Earth." β
This home, which I grabbed by myself and spent three years to build, will definitely not be given away for no reason.
Graham smiled casually: "That's not good, after seeing the alien race, I don't want to be trapped in the solar system for the rest of my life, so I'll be your staunch supporter~"
"Oh, Graham, do you understand the pleasure of the explorer?" Lyle shrugged, and then said his follow-up measures, "I am not a racist, the reason why the people of the earth are in civil war is the result of the interaction of many factors such as the education system, the general environment, and cultural traditions. Now that we have left the solar system, the general environment is different, as long as we work education, there will be changes sooner or later in a few generations, and it is not impossible for all members to join the Galactic Alliance at that time - of course, the premise of everything is that I judge the Galactic Alliance to be reliable. β
If it is found to be a pit, Lyle will not step on it with his compatriots, which is the basic morality of reincarnation as an 'earthling'.
"Isn't it a fairly friendly cosmic civilization?" Graham blurted out.
"Ah, it seems that this is indeed the case at the moment...... "Lyle, who is learning the top technology shared by the Galactic Alliance, is the person who has the highest evaluation of the Galactic Alliance, but this will not change his position, "Graham, you used to be the ace pilot of UNION, you should be able to pay attention to international current affairs, right?" How did Orb go to his demise step by step under the leadership of my father-in-law, do you know that you have read expert reviews? β
"More or less." Graham nodded.
If it weren't for luck, with Lyle, a god who could take the entire country to a higher level no matter what country he was born in, Orb would have died early, and the Uzmi regime would not have done a good job in dealing with internal disputes and foreign policy.
"That's the typical example of a good heart doing something wrong." Lyle looked back into the distance, but he wasn't looking at anything," ...... I haven't been to the Galactic Federation yet, so it's hard to say anything else, but I know from Mizuho's spaceship that they're going very far in some dangerous technology. β
Graham's nerves tightened: "Dangerous technology? β
"Artificial intelligence technology." Lyle didn't wait for Granham to ask, and said to himself, "I know that this technology has been being studied by earthlings all along, but the nature of 'low-level artificial intelligence completely controlled by humans' is completely different from 'high-level artificial intelligence with a certain amount of free will'...... I'll be honest, I'm interested in AI technology, but what if I install AI on Calups? β
Even though he knew that this was an extreme example, Granham was extremely serious: "Please stop, I don't want to die in a black hole for no reason." β
"That's what it means~Who knows how many dangerous steps the Galactic Alliance has taken unintentionally or with good intentions~" Lyle turned around and walked towards the laboratory building, "...... But don't worry, Graham, I've already decided that Caleps will disappear from this universe with me. When I'm dying, I'll find an uninhabited galaxy, shoot a retract cannon at myself, and taste the way of death where even atoms will collapse. β
By the way, this is how Lyle died, but because of the retraction cannon fired, his men didn't use full power, and only three planets were blown up. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
