Gundam, Iron Banner

"Until he admits it himself, I can't just talk nonsense."

"Cut, be stingy."

Katz pouted, focusing on the instrument at his feet.

You Bai looked at his back, feeling quite helpless.No matter how heroic things are, in the eyes of others, they always become a joke in the end.This made You Bai a little sad, and he thought, maybe his battles are also understated in the eyes of others.

……

In a corner of the deck, two other people were also talking.But compared to You Bai and Katz, the atmosphere between these two people is not so harmonious.

Perhaps it was because Camus had torn off the camouflage before, when Kobayashi Hayato faced Covatro, his tone became a little blunt: "It is a fact that the federal army in North America has become weaker, but Xia An has no further explanation for this reason." News, is it okay to go directly there? You will be entangled."

"Those two TMSs are very persistent towards Odomula, and the commander is very capable, and may see through our actions. But since we have obtained the information, there is no reason not to use it."

"... also. How is your 'Hundred Style'?"

"The adjustment is very thorough. It should be more compatible with the flying device than before. You can't just rely on You Bai to carry the banner."

"It's hard work. Let him rest a little longer these two days."

"Well, he worked very hard, much better than some capable people who don't do practical things."

When he said this, Cobatro's eyes were drifting to the bench by the wall, on which sat a young man with brown hair.Like a tacit understanding, the young man also turned his head, and the two eyes met.

Kobayashi Hayato realized that the atmosphere was about to turn into something wrong again, and hurriedly wanted to stop him, but at this time Cobatro had already walked over there, his lips parted slightly: "Have you settled your mood...?"

When he said this, even Cobatro himself felt a bit poisonous.

Amuro stared at him with menacing eyes: "Why did you come back to the earth circle?"

Under the sunglasses, there was a smile in Cobatro's eyes: "I came back to laugh at you."

Chapter 130: Disappointment

Amuro jerked to his feet, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Cobatro turned a blind eye to his anger and kept a smile on his face: "Heh, if I say that, will it make you happier?"

"It's not that I want to become like this...! You should understand this."

"Amuro—"

Hayato wants to prevent the two of them from clashing.

He had heard what Amuro had done on Earth.Instead of fighting, the hero of the One Year War spent his days in his mansion, enjoying the comforts of the federal government.

Although there are reasons for the Federation to restrict movement, it is an indisputable fact that this man's will to fight has been wiped out.

Also a combat unit of the White Base, Kai became a freelance reporter, risking his life to inquire about the enemy's intelligence; Hayato himself fought against the Federation as the leader of Karabar.In contrast, Amuro, who can't do anything, looks a bit useless.

Hayato looked at Cobatro from the corner of his eye. He knew that the Red Comet had been looking forward to Amuro's activity, but now he saw such a useless appearance, and it was inevitable to feel angry.

However, Cobatro's tolerance is wider than he thought.

"Captain Hayato, let me say a few words to him..." Cobatro interrupted him, motioning him to leave first.

Hayato's gaze swiveled between the two of them, and he found that the blond man didn't show any abnormalities, so he walked away helplessly.

When his back disappeared outside the door, Cobatro looked at Amuro again, with an enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Although Captain Hayato thinks that your current state is not good, you don't want me to sympathize with you, do you? Then change back to the Amuro who can respond to other people's expectations."

But this sentence seemed to ignite the powder keg named Amuro: "Expectation? I didn't stand here to respond to your expectations! Tell me, Char! Why did you return to the earth circle!"

"Because Lala's soul is still floating around the earth circle, she can't sleep peacefully on Mars."

"Lala—"

Amuro remembered the forgotten name again.

The moment he met Char, he seemed to see the phantom of Lala constantly attacking him. Although he had tried his best to repel him, but this time when he appeared in Char's words again, it seemed to penetrate Amuro's heart. The last line of defense.

That was towards the end of the One Year War.On the dangerous battlefield, he had a telepathic resonance with Shaar's new human soldier Lala Xin.This kind of resonance is different from superficial love. It is a mutual attraction in the soul. Although they have not met each other, the two understand each other at that moment.

Unfortunately, that incident ended in tragedy.Lala blocked Amuro's fatal blow for Char, and finally died on the battlefield.Since that day, Amuro has been haunted by nightmares of the lost woman buried in the invisible gap between him and Char.

Xia Ya looked at his devastated appearance, and the smile on his mouth gradually cooled down.

"Sealing yourself in a shell is just helping the Earth Federation Government... No, Titans is just a big favor."

He turned the topic to the level of reality, but Amuro refused to discuss this matter: "If you don't go to the universe, no one can get out of that shell, right? I also have limits."

"It depends on your own choice. But I want to remind you that the bird in the cage is just an ornamental prop after all. Right now, that's all I can tell you."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But Amuro refused to let go, gritted his teeth and said: "Do you think that everything you say is right? That young man who is similar to Lala, I am different from him. You can use it if you want, or throw it away if you want." Lost props!"

The words that Amuro blurted out made Shaar's movements stop.

He turned his face sideways, his gaze leaked through the gap between the sunglasses and his cheeks, and there was infinite coldness hidden inside.

"If you don't want to cheer up, that's your own business. But Amuro, if you want to use your distress as an excuse to insult others, then you should get off the ship as soon as possible. This shows that the battlefield is no longer suitable for you."

"That kind of thing—"

Before Amuro could refute, Shaar turned and left.

Watching the red figure fade away, Amuro felt a sense of being out of touch with the world, as if he was alone and excluded from the battlefield, which was annoying.

Camus came over just right, holding two lunch boxes, looking in the direction where Cobatro was leaving, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Amuro, did you quarrel?"

"...It's just a little conflict."

"Really? Well, here's your dinner."

"Ah, thank you..."

Amuro caught the lunch box handed over by the other party, without even looking at it, he wanted to turn around and leave.

But Camus was a young man with no eyesight. He walked beside him and said in an excited tone: "Actually, I have always wanted to see you."

"...?"

"I've heard your name from a lot of people, Commodore Blakes, Captain Hanken, and Captain Cobatro, and they compare me to you, and it's a tough job for me. matter."

Amuro sensed that the other party wanted something from him, so he quickened his steps down the stairs, trying to avoid the other party's sharp gaze.

But Camus refused to let go, and said the last sentence: "Mr. Amuro, please tell me, how to deal with the expectations of yourself around you?"

Amuro walked back to the room quickly, put the lunch box on the table, and while untiing the Karabar coat that restrained him, he looked at Camus with serious eyes.

"That's right. When I first got on the Gundam, I was about the same age as you. Looking back now, it's almost like a dream..."

"..."

This sentence confused Camus.

However, Amuro failed to notice the source of Camus' doubts, and he thought that the blankness on the other party's face was due to his distrust of himself, so he said distressedly: "Kazta, did you say anything to me?"

Camus opened his eyes and thought for a long time before finally remembering who the name Katz belonged to.However, he didn't even have a private conversation with that peer, how could he speak ill of Amuro to himself?

Amuro finally noticed the abnormality, and frowned: "I think he should have said something, but..."

"Then ask him yourself! I'm leaving!"

Camus left behind these words, turned around and walked quickly back to the hangar, just in time to meet You Bai who was going to the bridge.

"Camus? What happened? Why are you so angry?"

"It's nothing! It's just that I suddenly feel that the legendary new human is not that great. After all, he is just a boring adult."

An emotion called disappointment filled Camus' blue eyes.

Facing his straightforward emotions, You Bai smiled wryly.

Chapter 130: Touch

You Bai is quite used to Camus' sharp comments.

The kid in front of him was a very sensitive guy, and it was true that he had a bad temper, but what he said could always point to the root of the problem.This is a rather rare talent.Even if he commented on Amuro like this, the legendary hero might be a bit out of character.

Of course You Bai is also very interested in Amuro, but it will be the next day to actually talk alone.And to his surprise, this conversation was initiated by the other party.

"Captain You Bai, are you there?"

The collision of knuckles and the door panel made a soft rattle, and Amuro stood outside the door, quietly waiting for a response from inside.

You Bai had just finished discussing the strategic plan on the bridge. When he walked to the door, he saw the unfamiliar figure and asked in surprise, "Mr. Amuro? What's the matter?"

Only then did Amuro realize that he was knocking on an empty room, and he said "ah" before laughing: "It's not a big deal...can I delay you for a few minutes? It's just a few words."

"It's fine, anyway, please come in and talk first? It's weird to stay in the corridor."

Although You Bai was surprised by the other party's hesitation, he still smiled and led him into the room, moved a stool for him to sit down, and went to the table to get busy, "Tea or coffee?"

"Coffee, um, no, forget it, just plain water."

"Oh, how can there be any reason to give guests plain water?"

"...Okay then, bring me a cup of coffee, please."

Amuro looked a little cramped, his eyes wandered around the room, sometimes he looked up at the ceiling, and sometimes he looked down at the hands he was holding. The common point is that every time his eyes moved, they would involuntarily look towards You Bai's back .

It was a rather strange gaze, as if he wanted to pursue something in the back, and seemed to be missing something, but this gaze would not last long and would be interrupted when Amuro woke up. Pauses to cycle through Move Away and Focus.

This gaze was really piercing, it was hard for You Bai not to notice the other party's sizing up, but he didn't take it to heart.

When he was still in Titans, everyone on the same ship looked at him with similar eyes.How should I put it, for ordinary people, new human beings are a very special existence, and it is only human to care about them, and he won't mind such small things.As for why Amuro looks at him this way, You Bai doesn't plan to think about it for the time being, and this point can be slowly explored in the future communication with the other party.

Humming a tune, You Bai finished making coffee, handed one of the cups to the other party's table, sat on the edge of the bed and asked with a smile, "Mr. Amuro came here specially, is there something I can help with?"

"Captain You Bai is really sharp."

Amuro smiled wryly, staring at the steaming coffee cup in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you the truth, I accidentally made Camus angry yesterday, I heard that Captain You Bai has a good relationship with him, if you can……"

"What about yesterday?"

Of course, You Bai didn't forget how angry Camus looked like a puffer fish yesterday. What he was curious about was that Amuro would come to him for such a trivial matter?Or is this just a way for him to start the conversation?

Amuro smiled wryly: "I accidentally said some narrow-minded words to Camus yesterday, and it turned out...you see, after all, I will spend my days on the same boat after all. Wouldn't it be a headache if he hated him for this? one thing."

"Oh, don't worry, Camus is just more outspoken, I'm not really mad at you."

"Is that so?"

"How can a hot-blooded boy like him know how to hold grudges? It will be fine in two days. Captain Cobatello said some unpleasant things in front of him before, but he punched him. Now, isn't it? Still talking and laughing?"

"He hit Char?"

Amuro was obviously more concerned about this matter, and almost lost his grip on the cup.

You Bai knew that he would be interested in this matter, and nodded repeatedly: "Camus is worthy of having learned karate, with a clean punch, Cobatro hit the wall and couldn't get up for a long time."

Amuro imagined that scene, and felt quite enjoyable. At the same time, he was a little glad that he didn't know Camus that well, otherwise, with his useless appearance, he might not end up better than Shaar.

"That's really... It seems that I have to thank him for showing mercy to me..."

The two laughed at the same time, and through Shaar's embarrassing incident, You Bai felt that the distance between the two parties had been shortened a lot.

This strongest new human is indeed different from the rumors. He is unexpectedly decadent, and even his attitude towards getting along with others is weaker than expected, giving people a feeling that the edges and corners have been smoothed by life.

However, this is very strange. No matter how corroded by matter, Amuro was a hero galloping on the battlefield in the past. As for acting so weak?You Bai felt that he didn't act like an adult in his 20s in front of him, but like a teenager who had made a mistake.

Just at this time, Amuro also noticed his gaffe through You Bai's gaze, picked up the coffee cup, trying to cover his face with the cup, looked away slightly, and said slowly: "Why did Captain You Bai join Aogu? Could it be that Shaar pulled him in?"

You Bai's eyes were fixed, and he could tell that this sentence was what the other party really wanted to ask when they came to the door.

but why?

Why does the White Meteor of the Federation care about such a small person like himself?You Bai was a little confused, so he decided to play a little trick.

"What if I say 'yes'?"

"Then leave as soon as possible. That guy Shay is a dangerous person. If you stay by his side, you will be killed sooner or later. Do you understand? You have to deny him."

This is what Amuro said from the bottom of his heart, his eyes rarely meet You Bai, his eyes are full of seriousness.

Hearing what he said, You Bai felt relieved.Saying this kind of thing proves that Amuro has indeed confided in his heart, and being able to say this to strangers is already considered to be benevolent. As for whether it is correct or not, that is another matter.

You Bai took a sip of his coffee with a smile, shrugged and said, "Sorry, I was just joking, Mr. Amuro."

"joke?"
