Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 923 Reaching cooperation!

"Gudai, you go down first!"

In the captain's room, after everyone saluted each other, Okita Jusan looked at Gudaijin and let him go first.

"In addition, if there is nothing else, follow the deputy captain's orders."

"Yes! Captain! Then, I will take my leave now!"

After Gu Daijin saluted Okita Jusan and He Ming respectively, he turned and left, gently closing the cabin door.

"Please sit down!"

Okita Jusan sat down beside the bed and motioned He Ming and the other man to sit on the chairs that had been arranged for them.

"Thank you, Captain."

He Ming and Bell sat down and looked at Okita Jusan.

The same is true for the other party.

Moreover, Okita Jusan's sharp gaze was always on He Ming, and occasionally when he looked at Bell, he would unconsciously reveal a hint of doubt.

He Ming knew the reason for this doubt.

From the moment he boarded the Yamato and saw Gu Daijin coming to greet him, he had already guessed that Okita Jusan had anticipated his and Chengying's arrival.

Moreover, from the moment He Ming boarded the ship, the Yamato led by Okita Jusan did not take any coercive measures, but came to greet him with a friendly attitude. The reason was probably because of Belfast or Sasha Iskandar.

"Bell, no need to pretend! Let Miss Sasha come out and meet the captain!"

He Ming smiled slightly and said to Belfast who was sitting next to him.

"Yes! Major."

As Belfast responded crisply, lines lit up from his chest all the way up, completely covering his entire face. Then, they quietly shattered, revealing another face covered by Belfast's face - Sasha Iskandar.

Looking at such an astonishing and incredible scene, even Okita Jusan, a veteran with a will of steel, couldn't help but reveal a serious expression.

"The second princess of the Iskandar royal family, Sasha Iskandar, greets Captain Okita Jusan."

With her long golden hair falling casually, the beautiful woman with starry eyes bowed slightly to Okita Jusan.

Okita Jusan quickly stood up, stood at attention again, and saluted solemnly.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! Please forgive me, my dear guest! Princess Sasha, please take a seat!"

After the two met again in their new identities, they sat down one after another.

After Okita Jusan sat down, he looked at He Ming.

"I learned from Gu Koshin's report that the spaceship Princess Sasha was on exploded when it entered the Martian atmosphere, and Princess Sasha was confirmed dead by Gu Koshin and Shima Daisuke who was accompanying her."

"Yes. It is true. Sasha Iskandar is dead on Mars."

He Ming admitted this frankly.

He was well aware of the importance the League of Nations placed on Sasha Iskandar, who brought the wave engine to Earth.

Especially after Yulisa Iskandar suffered a terrorist attack and has been in a coma ever since, this respect has only increased.

If in the original work, the spaceship that Sasha Iskandar was on had not encountered any accidents, and instead successfully reunited with Gudaishin and Daisuke Shima, then Sasha Iskandar would definitely have been on the Yamato that set off afterwards.

However, Sasha Iskandar in the original novel was not very lucky.

"So, did you lend a helping hand to Princess Sasha? According to the report, it was a golden bird, not a fighter plane, that took Princess Sasha away." Okita Jusan is worthy of being the first captain of the space battleship Yamato.

In just a few words, he got to the bottom of the truth as to why He Ming fabricated the golden bird.

"I just don't want to cause any more trouble. Sasha Iskandar's treatment is not easy. Even now, Sasha Iskandar is still in danger. It is only because of the special nature of my maid Belfast that Sasha Iskandar can move freely like a healthy human being."

"Yes, Captain. It was because of the help of Major He Ming and Miss Bell that I was able to come back from death. For this kindness, I, and even the Iskandar royal family, will do our best to repay it."

As soon as He Ming finished speaking, Sasha Iskandar's words rang out, causing Okita Jusan to fall into silence.

I have to say, this is a difficult problem.

After Okita Jusan launched an attack on He Ming, He Ming counterattacked with Sasha Iskandar.

Moreover, he could neither ignore nor avoid this counterattack.

The space battleship Yamato could be built and successfully set sail thanks to the support of Iskandar.

Even in the face of a long journey of 336,000 light years round trip, the space battleship Yamato and the League of Nations owed Iskandar a favor.

The third princess of the Iskandar royal family, Yulisa Iskandar, who was in a coma after being attacked by a terrorist and sent the design drawings of the wave engine to Earth, is now the core of the automatic navigation system of the space battleship Yamato.

Facing Sasha Iskandar, who is also a member of the Iskandar royal family, Okita Jusan, who is used to seeing life and death, didn't know how to start for a moment, let alone continue to question He Ming's identity.

After a long time, Okita Jusan spoke again.

"I understand the situation now. Will Princess Sasha be acting as Miss Belfast on the ship from now on? I need to confirm this."

"Due to her injuries, Sasha Iskandar will enter a period of intensive treatment. During this period, my maid, Belfast, will be the one carrying out activities on the ship. Of course, in public, Belfast is my partner and Chengying's co-pilot."

"Ok!"

Listening to He Ming's explanation, Okita Jusan nodded slowly.

Okita Jusan doesn't want to pursue the existence of Belfast for the time being.

If we continue to investigate, it might irritate Sasha Iskandar's emotions, and might even affect Yulisa Iskandar, who is the core of the automatic navigation.

Just as he had discussed with Hijikata Ryu before, when humans who have never stepped out of the solar system look up at the starry sky, they will realize that behind the magnificent, vast and dazzling starry sky, there must be secrets that humans have never uncovered or known.

Even though the space battleship Yamato has successfully set sail, humans still do not know the secrets of the wave engine or the origin of the wave core.

In this unknown, He Ming's identity seems to become less important.

"Major He Ming. Please report your mission!"

Okita Jusan looked at He Ming and asked.

He Ming stood up and said loudly.

"Escort Sasha Iskandar back to Iskandar, and, during the journey, provide support to Yamato and assist it in completing its mission."

Hearing this, Okita Jusan let out a slow breath.

He stood up and extended his right hand to He Ming.

"Welcome to the Yamato! Major He Ming, from now on, you are the second mate of the Yamato, and you have the right to take action in the event of war. Except for me, you are not under the control of anyone else!"

He Ming nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Okita Jusan.

"Thank you very much, Captain!"
