A journey through the Gundam world

"You always say you are confident, but this will make us worry! Right!"

He looked at Kira and Mu.

The two also nodded, obviously supporting Cagalli's idea.

Mu kept winking at Alex at this time, so he opened his mouth while still thinking of arguing, swallowed what he originally wanted to say, and apologized to the three of them honestly.

"Sorry for worrying you."

In response to his apology, Cagalli shed tears, then turned and ran out.

"Kira, go see Cagalli."

Mu gave an order and pushed Kira away.

Chapter 126 Discussion with Team Sara

"Ok."

Kira stood up and left, leaving only the two of them in the restaurant. Only then did Mu speak.

"Cagalli is right. Every time you risk walking a tightrope, sooner or later it will overturn."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu continued.

"Although this plan has gained a lot, you have also seen that we have also suffered a lot. I am not afraid of death, but as adults, if both of us are killed in this battle, then you Have you ever thought about what will happen next?"

Picking up the coffee cup, Alex took a sip of the bitter black coffee.

"I know that walking a tightrope is not good. But with the current situation, we have no choice. If we want to reach Orb safely, we must make more efforts."

"I know you are doing it for everyone's good, but sometimes, don't just immerse yourself in fighting alone. Although we are not as capable as you, we can't always watch you work hard alone. Although we belong to different troops , but as you once said, we are now grasshoppers on a rope and should help each other."

Mu patted his shoulder and said sincerely.

"I understand, thank you, Mu."

Feeling the other party's sincerity, Alex thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Mu picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

"But when you get to Aub, you must remember to introduce me to a good restaurant. It feels like I haven't had a good drink in a long time."

"no problem."

While the two continued chatting in the restaurant, Kira found Cagalli on the observation deck.

Seeing her depressed, Kira didn't know how to persuade her.

"Kira, you're here. Was I being too unreasonable just now?"

Cagalli took the initiative to stop him and asked a question.

"Huh? No, it's nothing. What you said is what I want to say, but I'm not as straightforward as you."

"yes……"

Cagalli walked away from the railing, walked to the wall, and sat against the deck.

"I know that his adventure is for everyone. However, I hate this feeling. I...the relationship with my father has never been good. Others also have high hopes for me, and many people also have high hopes for me because of my identity... Be respectful to me."

She hugged her knees with her hands and began to confide in Kira.

"This guy is the only one who can face me as an equal and not treat me as a noble being. Sometimes, I wonder how great it would be if he really was my uncle."

"Hey? Captain Alex, isn't he your uncle?"

Kira's words made Cagalli realize that she still spilled the beans.

"Ah... not good."

But seeing that Kira was the only one there, she continued speaking half-heartedly.

"Now that things have happened, this matter will soon be no longer a secret, but Kira, you have to keep it a secret for the time being. Alex is not my uncle, he is actually a person sent by my father to protect me."

"That's it...I understand, I will keep it a secret."

Kira also imitated her actions and sat on the deck.

Sitting and talking with Cagalli gave Kira an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

This is not a strange emotion, but a warm feeling like being with family.

"Actually, I also have secrets that I can't tell others."

"Really? What is it?"

Looking at Cagalli's curious eyes, Kira hesitated.

"Actually... the pilot of Holy Shield is my former good friend."

"what!"

Cagalli's eyes widened.

Later, Kira told him about her relationship with Aslan, how they separated and how they dramatically reunited on the battlefield.

Even Lux and Aslan's relationship was told to Cagalli.

After listening, Cagalli didn't know how to comfort Kira.

Because this sounds absolutely ridiculous...

"It's all because of this damn war. If there hadn't been a war, you and your good friends wouldn't have to bear this price."

Kira nodded silently.

At this time, with the mechanical sound of 'Dolly', the yellow-green mechanical bird flew over from nowhere and landed on Kira's shoulder.

Looking at the mechanical bird given to her by Aslan, Kira recalled the past again...

Meanwhile, inside the Carpantaria base.

Team Kruse is having a meeting.

"Captain! No matter what, I will take revenge! This scar is reserved for this!"

Yitzhak's sudden request stunned the other three.

But Cruze held his chin and spoke to him in a gentle voice.

"I can understand your feelings, Yitzhak, but this matter has been handed over to other troops. Our current task is to focus on the next 'Throat Cutting Operation'. And..."

He raised his masked face and stared at Yitzhak and the others.

Even though they were separated by masks, Aslan and the others felt like they were being watched.

"The MS pilot named Heretic was your former instructor. When facing him, can you really pull the trigger?"

When he said this, Aslan felt as if Kruse looked at him again.

This made Aslan couldn't help but remember that Cruze once said similar words to himself.

It's a pity that although he answered very simply, in actual combat, he was always reluctant to take action.

"That guy... was our instructor in the past."

Yitzhak clenched his fists, his voice trembling.

"But now he is an enemy! Since he is an enemy, there is nothing that cannot be done! And I am also aware of it!"

What he said was categorical.

However, Aslan could tell that Yitzhak was actually a little entangled in his heart just like himself.

"Good realization, Yitzhak."

However, Kruse was very satisfied with his answer.

Then he turned to look at the other three.

"What do you think? Aslan, Nicol, Diego?"

Faced with Cruze's question, Diego answered first.

"I can also shoot. Although that man has a teaching affection for us, he himself once said that if we encounter someone on the battlefield, don't hesitate."

Cruze nodded and said appreciatively.

"Although I have never met him, this man is indeed right. On the battlefield, showing mercy to the enemy means being irresponsible to yourself and your comrades."

Aslan felt that every word Cruze said was like a sharp arrow piercing his heart.

But in this atmosphere, he couldn't say anything, he couldn't pull the trigger.

The same was true for Nigel. After the two of them expressed their opinions, Yitzhak asked urgently again.

"Captain, since we all have this awareness, can we agree to let us chase the long-legged one? I heard that that ship is in Davao!"

Of course, Cruze took note of Aslan's performance, because he deliberately said this just to stimulate the other party.

As a villain who longs for the destruction of the world, he naturally scorns those seemingly righteous excuses.

In his opinion, the so-called family affection and love are nothing more than hallucinations caused by the stimulation of hormones secreted by the human brain.

Once hormone secretion is insufficient, these emotions will disappear.

As a kind of selfish creature, human beings have never been afraid of killing their own kind.

This is true whether it is a friend, a lover, or a blood relative.

Regardless of Aslan's hesitation and entanglement now, if something changes in the future, he and his former friends will immediately turn into unrelenting enemies.

What he has to do is push the opponent behind and accelerate the rhythm.

For Kruse, nothing in the world can satisfy his heart more than this.

So he nodded happily.

"Since you all have such strong demands, I will mobilize a submarine carrier to the Carpantalia base to carry you to the battlefield."

Yitzhak was overjoyed.

"Thank you very much! Captain Cruse!"

"Don't be busy, but I can't go with you. There are still many things to be busy with during the Cut Throat Operation. So only the four of you can go."

"How many of us are going together?"

Several people looked at each other. If Cruze didn't go, then who would command them?

As red elites, their authority is quite high.

Although he has no military rank, in terms of job authority, he is equivalent to the captain of a battleship.

And among four people of the same level, who will command whom?

"Then Aslan will be in charge."

Cruze said lightly.

"Team Sara..."

Diego muttered softly.

The unique organization of ZAFT forces means that each team is generally called by the last name of the captain.

"Yitzhak, your current state is too abnormal, so in order to prevent you from being impulsive and putting others in danger, I arranged for Aslan to take command."

Kruse explained very 'considerately', and his explanation sounded very reasonable.

"So, you have to obey the command, do you understand?"

Although Yitzhak was dissatisfied with this, he could only agree with a frown as he was able to pursue the long-legged ones.

"I understand. Captain Cruse."

"Very good, I will arrange a submarine carrier as soon as possible. You..."

Just before he finished speaking, the communicator on the table rang.

He picked up the phone and spoke loudly.

"I'm Cruze..."

"what?"
