A journey through the Gundam world

She has always been under a lot of pressure.

So she sighed.

"Yes, I never thought that I would become the deputy captain of this ship so quickly."

She reached out to smooth her short hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and her mind fell into memories.

Originally, as a reserve crew member of the Archangel, she was simply responsible for CIC command.

Although her military quality and background are excellent, as a second lieutenant, her qualifications are still relatively young and not enough for a command position.

Not just her, even Ma Su, who was originally scheduled to be the deputy captain, was only given the position of deputy captain because he was responsible for the G-plan aircraft.

But Masuo was only responsible for the operation and testing of the mobile suit. The original captain of the Archangel was an experienced colonel.

The officers in charge of other positions are also carefully selected outstanding talents.

As the Atlantic Federation's first true mobile suit carrier and mobile suit, the military has carefully selected its crew.

It's a pity that with the enemy's surprise attack, the senior officers on the ship were basically wiped out.

In just a moment, there were only two lieutenants left on the entire ship.

Captain Masuo was in charge of MS technology, and she was a second lieutenant in charge of CIC.

In fact, Bucky Lulu was a little at a loss in her heart.

However, as the only officer, she was forced to put aside her inner tension and uneasiness, and used toughness as her mask to direct the battle.

Although this caused many crew members to criticize her, Bucky Lulu herself didn't care.

It is precisely because of this that she and Ma Su, as the captain, had repeated conflicts.

She believes that Captain Masuo is often more emotional than rational.

Fortunately, Alex and Mu acted as the lubricant between the two, and one person even took the initiative to act as a target to attract firepower.

After bumping along the way, the Archangel finally persisted until now.

"Destiny is actually very miraculous. There is an old saying in the East Asian Federation, 'If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will be shaded.' This is the situation of the Archangel."

Alex looked at the track left by the ship's stern on the sea.

After repeating this sentence in a low voice, Bucky Lulu showed a thoughtful expression.

"Captain Alex, he seems to be from the East Asian Federation, but why did you join Orb?"

"As for me, I actually have a reason, but it's just inconvenient to say."

"Is that so..."

Although he didn't get a definite answer, the other party obviously didn't make excuses to excuse himself.

This made Bucky Lulu feel very comfortable inside.

She had to admit that although the guy in front of her was a fisherman and had a lazy personality, he didn't look like a soldier at all.

However, it is precisely because of his wisdom and combat skills that the Archangel has repeatedly broken through the encirclement.

At the same time, his approachable personality allowed the crew members on the ship, especially Kira as the pilot, to maintain a good attitude and fight until now.

These are all things she lacks.

"I thought you would find reasons to stall me."

"How could it be? I am a person known as the 'honest and reliable young gentleman'."

Hearing his narcissistic name, Bucky Lulu couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the smile on her face, Alex tilted his head.

"This seems to be the first time I've seen you smile, Captain Nuttall. I originally thought you couldn't smile."

"I'm not a robot, how can I not smile? It's just that as an officer, I need to maintain dignity in front of my subordinates."

Faced with her retort, Alex recalled the only time in his memory that Bucky showed a smile.

That was when she saw the Archangel's positron cannon about to hit the Archangel, sending her and Azrael to hell.

He shook his head to clear this ominous image from his mind.

He turned around, leaned his back against the railing, and looked up at the bridge of the Archangel.

"The impression you have left on me all along is that you are capable, calm, and very capable. But you are a bit old-fashioned and inhumane."

"I didn't expect that my evaluation in your heart is actually positive."

Bucky Lulu didn't expect that his evaluation of herself would be so objective.

Alex shrugged.

"I'm not someone who relies on emotions. I can see your shortcomings, and I can also see your strengths."

"If Captain Masuo heard what you said, he would think you were accusing her."

"Captain Masuo is a very good person, but sometimes she is really indecisive. She still needs more training, and so do you."

Although Bucky Lulu felt a little depressed about his unceremonious criticism.

However, I have to admit that Alex’s evaluation is spot-on and unbiased.

She originally thought that because she had had several conflicts with the other party, the evaluation she received must be highly biased.

However, this was actually not the case, which further enhanced Bucky Lulu's affection for Alex.

I felt that through this conversation, I learned a little more about this mysterious Orb Army captain.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say.

"This seems to be the first time we have had such a normal conversation."

Alex nodded at her emotion.

"Indeed, since we boarded the ship, we have been busy escaping, fighting, continuing to escape, and continuing to fight. Now, there are less than 4000 kilometers left to the destination. The next journey should be... uh."

He suddenly covered his mouth.

"what happened?"

Bucky Lulu was curious as to why he suddenly covered his mouth with a slap.

Alex, who covered his mouth, slowly shook his head.

"I have a problem. My good words are always ineffective, but my bad words are very effective. I'd better stop talking nonsense."

"Are you superstitious? I don't believe such people exist."

Baji Lulu suddenly felt that this person was really interesting, and he actually believed in this.

"We can't. If you said we would encounter enemies next, we would, right?"

"Believe me, Captain Natal, although it sounds incredible, this is metaphysics..."

Baji Lulu didn't believe what he said, although it was always known in the army that this kind of thing had a nose and an eye.

"I don't believe it."

Hearing this, Alex suddenly smiled.

"How about we make a bet?"

Although the expression on his face told her intuitively that this was not normal, so she instinctively became wary.

But Baji Lulu still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, what's the bet?"

"Just bet on whether we will encounter ZAFT before arriving in Palau, I bet we will."

"Then I bet you won't."

"Very good. How about the winner having the right to make the loser agree to a condition that is not excessive?"

She thought about it and decided there was no problem.

"Okay, that's it."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Alex took the initiative to extend his hand to her.

The two held hands together, which was considered a bet.

"Then, I'll go back first. I hope you'll be in a good mood, Captain Natal."

Seeing that meditation was no longer possible, Alex put away his big bath towel and staggered into the cabin.

Looking at his leaving figure, Bucky Lulu smiled again.

"This guy is really an interesting person."

At this time, Jackie and others came to the deck to bask in the sun, and first met Alex face to face.

Then when he stepped out of the hatch, he saw Bucky smiling again.

Due to a strange combination of circumstances, the gossip souls of several people are burning brightly again.

Later that day, Mu sat down next to Alex in the restaurant.

After putting down the plate, he asked in a mysterious voice.

"I heard that you and Captain Natal had a very happy chat on the viewing terrace? And you could actually make her laugh. Tell me honestly, what kind of ecstasy did you give her?"

Alex nodded calmly. This was the truth after all, and there was nothing to hide.

"Yes, not long after you left, Captain Natal also came to the terrace to get some fresh air."

"Oh. That's it."

Mu's answer seemed meaningful.

"What? You don't think that I have an affair with her, do you?"

As someone who has had sex with him before, and not just once, Alex is not the first brother in love.

With Mu like this, how could he not know what the other person was thinking.

But after coming to the CE world, he really didn't think about it.

After all, they were being chased and fought all the way, and they were also busy providing psychological counseling to Kira and Cagalli.

He really didn't have the time to think about these things.

"There's gossip about you two circulating on the ship. I don't think you don't know about it, right?"

"Of course I know."

"Answer honestly, do you have any ideas?"

"If you say no, that's impossible. However, I have always let things take their own course."

Mu appreciated his honesty very much.

We are all adults, and it is not uncommon for something to happen between you and me.

"I thought you would answer me with Eastern subtlety."

"Please, although I am an East Asian, but today's East Asians are not as old-fashioned as you say. Be careful, I will sue you for discrimination."

Mu certainly didn't take his joke to heart.

Through this period of fighting and their similar personalities, the two have established a good relationship as friends.

"Then come on, Captain Natal may be very old-fashioned, but he is indeed a good match."

Seeing Mu winking, Alex calmly took a sip of juice and pierced his heart without politeness.

"Oh, are you afraid that the captain and I will get too close and ruin your good deeds?"

"Uh...you actually found out?"

Chapter 140 The bet comes true

Although Mu was embarrassed when his inner feelings were revealed, fortunately, he was also thick-skinned.

He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and admitted with a haha.

"Of course I can see it. Your eyes are almost stuck to Captain Masuo and can't be removed. And I can also see that the Captain also appreciates you very much."
