Chapter 18: Follow Me
Masaki Keigo was made like a chicken blood by Kasto, Kasto originally wanted to meet with Dagu to see what kind of character this person who entered the ultimate level by miracles was, but Masaki Keigo directly pulled Dagu away from the dojo, and then got on the plane directly and didn't know where to go.
Casto originally felt that his interest in directing the country had finally risen, but the sudden departure of Keigo Masaki with Dagu always made him feel unhappy.
Originally, he thought that although Keigo Masaki was gone, there was another problem in TPC - Ryosuke Sanada.
Then, Castor contacted the Space Development Agency to check the schedule, and was surprised to find that the guy had submitted a leave letter and should now be on vacation to the Gold Coast of Australia.
With a heart full of emptiness, Casto walked aimlessly on the circular bridge of TPC, when suddenly a voice interrupted his thoughts,
"Is it so much harder to train new hires now than we were back then? It's incredible. ”
"What?"
Castor looked up to see a not-so-familiar face facing him, holding his helmet in one hand and the wall in front of him with the other.
“...... Tempest: Why are you back on Earth? Is the work of the lunar base so idle? ”
"Tell me more! If it weren't for you, I would still be my cosmic prodigal son in space, you guy, it's really annoying. ”
"What's that?" Casto looked at Hurricane with some puzzlement, although the two of them knew each other, he hadn't thought of this guy at all lately.
"Did you say that the Victory Feiyan is going to be equipped with a new weapon system? Megumi Atoma should be scolded by Director Sawai now. ”
In the TPC director's office, Sawai has just received a notification that the wind has returned to Earth without permission, and in front of him is Megumi Kama, the captain of the victory team, who is fighting for this reason.
"Do you have to let that Blastwind come back this way? Returning to Earth without permission is a violation, and you must know that Carlo, the lunar base, can't be without him. ”
"Old man Sawai, you are getting less and less bold now, you know that the wind is the best of all."
The door to the office was opened, and Chief Yoshioka walked in with an order that still had ink marks, "Now he didn't return to Earth without permission, but came back at my invitation, and the invitation of the chief of the police department, although it was a bit overstepping, there should be no problem in terms of rank." ”
"At most, there is a problem with the process, so it's good to make up for it later, Director Yoshioka." Megumi looked at Director Yoshioka who came to help him out with a grateful face, and then turned his head to Director Sawai and said, "Anyway, this is the situation now, Casto is now active again, although we still don't know what is special about him, but he is special. ”
"Director Sawai, I hope you can't ignore the fact that he suddenly started acting because of his personal feelings with Casto." Megumi looked at Director Sawai with pretended to be angry, but the word serious was written on her face.
"Well, Megumi Juma misunderstood, I just think it's ......"
"Wait, after all these years, the most special thing you've been able to discover about Casto so far is ....... Does he speak Chinese and like to eat Chinese food? ”
Yoshioka interrupted the conversation between Megumi and Sawai about family and the past, and asked directly.
Megumi and Director Sawai glanced at each other, and then their faces showed helpless magic, in fact, even they felt that the conclusion they had come to after so many years of observation was somewhat like something had affected their brains.
Yoshioka looked at the silent Sawai and Megumi Kurama, took a deep breath, and then held back from swearing, "To be honest, I'm curious, why can't I find a relevant argument for a matter that is obviously obvious?" Obviously, we all guessed that guy had some strange abilities, but why didn't there be any warning for so long? ”
"Speaking of which, can't we really ask him directly? Everyone's relationship is actually pretty good, right? ”
"Forehead......" Megumi Juma stroked her hair a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and finally said as if she had made up her mind, "I actually asked him if he had any superpowers, but he asked me instead, 'Sister, don't you feel that there is something different in yourself?' ’。 ”
"So, you shouldn't be fooled by his rhetorical question, right? Isn't it normal for each of us to be different? Yoshioka looked at Megumi Kuma with some surprise, he didn't believe Megumi Kuruma was the one who would be fooled by such words, "You're the guy chosen by Sawai, unless you really ...... Wait a minute?! ”
Sawai had already reacted, and he looked at Megumi Kuruma in surprise, as if waiting for the other party to say something strange.
"Not what you think, just me." Megumi Kuruma frowned, "It was also with the encouragement of that guy Casto that I realized that I seemed to be able to hear some voices since I was a child"
Megumi Kuma's voice trembled unusually rarely, although it was only for a moment, it reflected her inner turmoil at the moment, and she was still a little scared in her heart.
"I seem to have been able to feel something different since I was a child, although I don't know how I felt it, what I felt.
But it's precisely because I'm interested in all kinds of things and my body is active that I can't pay attention to the "voice" Megumi looked at Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka, and this was the first time she revealed her secret, "If I hadn't been so busy, I might have collapsed because of my anxiety. ”
"I seem to be able to feel some kind of terrible crisis, or panic, or something like that, slowly approaching."
"That's why you called the wind back from the moon?"
Surprisingly, neither Sawai nor Yoshioka reacted excessively to Megumi Juma's secret, on the contrary, Sawai asked his own question very calmly.
"Well, aren't you curious?" Megumi was a little unconfident by the performance of the two old men, and suddenly revealed the tone of a woman who is rarely revealed.
"Aha, Sawai and I have lived for most of our lives." Yoshioka patted Megumi Kuruma on the shoulder indifferently, "Although the two of us don't have the talent of yours ourselves, we are very well-informed, don't underestimate us." ”
Sawai smiled and nodded, he couldn't count how many strange things he had seen since he became the Secretary-General of the United Nations and now established the TPC.
"But why did you bring Blast back? That guy is very powerful, but he shouldn't have gotten to the point where he's out yet, right?" Director Yoshioka was still a little curious, "But I remember that you were contemporaries, and it seems that you were trainees of the first Victory Feiyan series, right?" ”
"Yes, Castor told me many years ago that he wanted to be able to install weapons and equipment on the Victory Feiyan series, and I always thought that the time had not yet come."
"But if even men like Keigo Masaki are persuaded by Castor to join TPC, then we should be ready."
Tokyo, 1994.
Megumi Kurama returned to Metropolitan University and participated in the development of the WING system, which Professor Reiko Kashiwamura was working on.
In order to cope with the unpredictable activities of unconfirmed aerial phenomena, Sawai and Yoshioka, the technical development officer of the Defense Agency, decided that the existing flight system was no longer up to the task, so it was necessary to develop a new flight system.
At the same time as Megumi Kuruma, he entered the training with a pilot of the Defense Air Force named Hurricane.
For Megumi Kuruma, the first impression of the wind was not very good.
Although the wind has a handsome face and a dignified and decent way of speaking, its overconfident performance can always make people feel faintly uncomfortable.
Not only that, but Megumi himself sometimes provokes the other party unknowingly, which is the same for Hurricane.
Although the simulator has reached the final stage, there is still a long way to go in the development of the testing machine.
The first batch of trainees will be sent to various departments of TPC to serve as leaders in the future, and everyone who joins the training has a clear understanding of this.
At that time, Hurricane was no longer satisfied with mere physical training, and he felt the need to incorporate martial arts into his training curriculum.
And Megumi Kuma, who is quite confident in her physical fitness, actually doesn't have any kendo experience.
She was asked to do the most basic kendo training, such as air striking, which uses the sword to strike in the air.
At that time, she kept wondering if doing such training was deliberately entertaining herself, but until the end, she did not give up.
And before that, he had been sneering and watching the lively wind on the sidelines, but it seemed that because of the sweat left by Megumi in the dojo again and again, he understood her inner firmness, so he began to take her seriously.
"Hey, follow me, Megumi Kurama, although I think you can't do it, ahahahahaha."
Although she lost badly every time, when Megumi Kuruma last saw Tempest, she was already a very strong fighter.
"Hey, Mr. Masaki, can I really be a warrior as strong as you? I've been trying to join the winning team to protect everyone, do you think I can? ”
Masaki Keigo was in Kumamoto's building, and Daiko was lying in the infirmary, looking at Masaki Keigo sitting next to him with some frustration, he could feel that he was making rapid progress, but at the same time, he was also more and more able to feel how big the gap between himself and Masaki Keigo was.
"Huh, like me? Impossible. Masaki Keigo glanced at Dagu with disdain, and it was visible to the naked eye that Dagu's expression fell.
"But if you want to protect, keep up with me, then you still have a chance to do it."
"Yes! Brother Zhengmu! ”
"Hey! Don't take an inch! I didn't allow you to call me that! ”
"Okay! Brother Zhengmu! ”
