Machine Lion Roar

The blood-stained clothes were changed, and the bleeding wounds were bandaged.

The embarrassed Lei Mingkai had now recovered his clean appearance.

"This is your room. Teacher Britannia."

After some inquiries, the officers of the Archangel, represented by Mario and Bucky Lulu, have recognized Lei Mingkai’s identity, and later arranged for manpower to treat Lei Mingkai’s injuries. And arrange board and lodging.

"Yeah. Thank you! Kira. Also, don't call me a teacher. Actually, I am not much older than you."

Lei Mingkai glanced at the empty four-person room, then nodded towards Kira, thanking him.

Kira was taken aback, but still accepted Lei Mingkai's statement.

After all, from the perspective of appearance, Lei Mingkai's young face does not have much resemblance to the teacher in Kira's impression.

Seeing Kira who wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say, Lei Mingkai stepped forward and patted Kira on the shoulder.

"You can just call my name, Kay, that's it. In addition, thank you very much for today! If it weren't for you, my sister and I would both be dead in space."

"No! Old Kay, you don't need to say that. I just did what I was supposed to do."

Kira shook his head repeatedly, and did not take the rescue of Lei Mingkai two as his own credit.

"Really? So, this time, I owe you a favor. Kira!"

Lei Mingkai smiled, and took the initiative to end the conversation, letting Kira leave on the grounds that he needed a rest.

Kira's back disappeared at the end of the passage, and at the moment there was no one left. Lei Mingkai carefully looked at the passage that no one would pass through for a short time, then turned and closed the door.

By the single bed on the left side of the room, there was a black-haired girl with a beautiful face.

She was looking at Lei Mingkai, smiling slightly:

"Thank you! Lei Mingkai."

Lei Mingkai waved his hand.

"Stop calling this name for now! Our current situation is not considered safe."

The black-haired girl was silent for a while, her mouth moved, but she couldn't say anything.

When Lei Mingkai saw this, he couldn't help but ponder.

"If it feels uncomfortable, it's okay to temporarily liberate it."

The black-haired girl nodded when she heard the words.

Then she took a slow breath, put her hands together in front of her heart, and whispered:

"In the name of Visser, liberate! Aldnoah."

The brilliance was overflowing, and the image of the black-haired girl quietly disappeared in the twinkling of light. What replaced it was the image of the girl in a white dress with long beautiful pink hair.

She is Lux Klein.

It turned out that when Lei Mingkai and Lacus Klein hid in the escape pod, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles caused by Lacus Klein’s face in the next encounter, Lei Mingkai Therefore, it was decided to give him the pendant that Empress Ethelam gave him, which had a holographic projection that could perfectly disguise the wearer as someone else, and temporarily hand it over to Lacus Klein.

Now it seems that this pendant is indeed performing its proper function perfectly.

"How do you feel? Lux."

Lei Mingkai nodded slowly looking at Lux, who was showing her true face in the overflowing brilliance.

"It feels good! It seems like you have changed another person."

Lux looked around, with a hint of joy on her face, as if she was a child getting a new toy.

The innocent smile made Lei Mingkai stunned, but almost instantly, Lei Mingkai recovered his calm.

"Well, that's fine! Now my name is Kay, and Lux, your name is Audrey. Understand?"

"Yes. I understand."

Lux nodded cheerfully.

Moreover, after recovering her true face for a while, Lacusi said silently again without waiting for Lei Mingkai to speak:

"In the name of Visser, seal it! Seal my real face!"

The brilliance overflowed, and the image of the pink princess gradually disappeared and was replaced by the image of the black-haired girl again.

"Audrey Britannia. This is my current name. Right! Kay."

"Ok."

Late at night.

The Archangel, which was keeping the wireless signal silent, suddenly received a strong signal from the public channel, and at the moment this signal appeared, most of the interference that had been plagued by the Archangel disappeared magically.

This surprised cic, who had been trying to contact the Earth Alliance’s lunar base, and was shocked by the strong signal that made most of the interference disappear.

"what happened?"

The noise in the corridor outside the door made Lei Mingkai open his eyes, ready to get up to check the situation.

Lux, who was sleeping on the opposite bed, opened the curtain and cast a puzzled look.

"Audrey, you continue to rest. I'll see the situation."

Lei Mingkai motioned for Lux to continue to rest, but Lux shook her head.

"I'll go with you. For some reason, I always feel a little uneasy."

Seeing the uneasy emotion in Lux's eyes, Lei Mingkai nodded silently.

The environment where the two of them are now is the inside of a combined Earth battleship that may kill them at any time.

Although Lei Mingkai knew the composition of the crew on the Archangel, Lacus felt uneasy about it.

It's just that, compared to the former facing the Archangel alone and facing the malicious Lux from the surroundings, the current Lux has Lei Mingkai standing in front, protecting her.

A few minutes later, the two people who came to the dining hall saw the screen surrounded by crowds.

"What happened?"

The sharp-eyed Lei Mingkai saw Kira at a glance.

"Ah, old..., no, Kay."

Kira stunned, then nodded stunnedly, pointing to the screen and saying:

"It seems that some important person in Zaft was injured?"

Kira's vague words stunned both Lei Mingkai and Lux.

Compared with Kira, who is not sure about the facts, the two who were the experiencers of the whole incident knew well.

However, Lux is standing next to Lei Mingkai now.

"Lax Klein, the pearl of our plant, was assassinated by the United Earth Army while holding a ceremony to commemorate the compatriots who died on Scarlet Valentine's Day... In order to protect Lacus Klein, we Uniu Lei Mingkai, the last compatriot on the 7th, died with the enemy..."

"Now, the Supreme Council of Plant has issued an order, Zaft will seek justice for our dead compatriots!!"

"how come?!!"

Looking at the angry Patrick Sarah on the screen, Lux subconsciously took two steps back and almost fainted.

"Audrey! Be careful!"

Lei Mingkai quickly supported Lux ​​with his eyes and hands, and after making him stand firm, he once again looked at the picture of Patrick Sarah raising his arms and shouting revenge.

This was already a declaration of war, which surprised Lei Mingkai.

Lacus Klein clearly stood by her side, but became a comatose wounded.

And he became a hero who died with the enemy, and became one of the more than two hundred thousand undead on Junius 7.

Lei Mingkai was caught off guard by such a shocking change.

But soon, Lei Mingkai recovered his calm.

Combining all the things he experienced before, Lei Mingkai already had a certain guess in his heart.

The factors that make this familiar world and even the timeline change, apart from your own activity, are probably only those who have always been hostile to you!

But now I...

"Kira Yamato. The captain ordered. Please go to the bridge immediately!"

At this time, a soldier of the Earth Alliance stood at the entrance of the dining hall, shouting Kira's name loudly.

"Kira? Is it going to fight again?"

As soon as the young girls standing with Kira heard the soldiers' call, they subconsciously thought of terrible things on the spot.

Kira lowered her head, bit her lip, but nodded silently, turned and walked out of the dining hall.

"Audrey, probably, I will leave for a while!"

Looking at Kira's back, Lei Mingkai had a thought in his heart.

"Kay. You..."

"Audrey. Sorry! I have to figure out something. Can you go back and wait for me?"

Lei Mingkai looked at Lux's eyes and said sincerely.

At this moment, Lux's heart was messed up by the news from Plant announcing that she had been "seriously injured and unconscious", and she was constantly arguing.

Lux was silent.

But she nodded quickly.

"Go! Kay. I'm waiting for you."

The war is coming!

Although the real Lux Klein was on the Archangel, the plant at this moment might have been caught in a whirlpool of hatred and dragged into the flames of war that swallowed everything.

As Lei Mingkai who was declared a "heroic sacrifice", if he wanted to find the man behind the war that was about to expand, he could only take certain measures.

"Captain! Kay Britannia asked to see the captain."

On the bridge of the Archangel, Maru and others who were discussing the global press conference announced by the plant waited for the news of Lei Mingkai's request to meet.

"Kay Britannia?! What is he doing?"

Bucky Lulu expressed opposition on the spot.

Now it is the internal meeting of the Archangel.

Kira's participation is already the limit of Bucky Lulu's tolerance.

"Oh? Are the knights coming to fight?"

Compared to Bucky Lulu, who subconsciously expressed opposition, Mu La Flagg, the only combatant on the Archangel who could take part in the battle, showed a meaningful smile.

"Huh? Major Flagg. You mean?"

Maru didn't seem to understand the meaning of Mu's words.

Mu smiled.

"Eyes! Eyes! Those are to protect the princess in my heart, eyes at all costs! Captain. And Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, I don't think this Kai will be our enemy."

Although Mu had not had face-to-face contact with Lei Mingkai before, Mu, who was standing not far away, could see it more clearly than Maru and Bakiruru.

"What's a joke? How can the situation now be judged by intuition!"

Bucky Lulu objected again.

In response, Mu just spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"I didn't say anything. It's just that, if there is a choice, will the captain choose to let the students drive the fuselage?"

Maru was taken aback, then looked at Kira, who still had a trace of resistance.

Then she sighed quietly.

"Major. I don't think there is anyone on this ship who is more suitable for driving Assault Gundam than Kira Yamato. Moreover, Kay Britannia is here for the plant's press conference! "

Mu smiled and stopped talking.

In fact, Mu's hunch is right.

Kira's surprised and grateful eyes,

Maru and Bucky Lulu looked incredible,

And Mu Na really smiled like this,

It was the scene when Lei Mingkai offered to try to drive assault Gundam.

"Captain! I strongly veto Kay Britania's expression. Strikes on Gundam and the Archangel are the top secrets of our earth union! Even Kay Britania is an assistant professor at the Institute of Technology. its···"

"Lieutenant Bucky Lulu. Now Strike Gundam is driven by students! What's more, Strike Gundam's os system has been adjusted by Kira Yamato. Do you think there are still secrets in it?"

Mu denied Bucky Lulu's doubts on the spot.

"Major! You!!"

"be quiet!"

Maru suddenly interrupted their dispute loudly.

Then she glanced at Kira, but found the happiness and expectations in Kira's eyes, and she couldn't help sighing.

"Kay Britania. Assault Gundam is important to us, you should understand! It is impossible for us to let people of unknown origin drive. But..."

Maru was silent for a while, and continued:

"But if there is a choice, I hope Strike Gundam will not be driven by students. Therefore, I decided to give you a chance."

"captain!!"

Maru's decision caused Bucky Lulu to object on the spot.

"Needless to say! This is my decision! If there is any problem, I will be responsible!"

Maru showed her toughness for the first time, vetoing Bucky Lulu's objection, and looked at Kira.

"Kira Yamato. Thank you for your help! Arrange the simulation program. I want to see what the confidence of the teaching assistants in the Industrial College have?"

"Yes! Captain!"

Familiar cockpit,

Familiar instrument layout,

For everything in front of him, Lei Mingkai, who once drove the assault Gundam iwsp, was very familiar with it and surprised Kira.

"Kay, have you driven a Gundam before?"

Lei Mingkai, who turned on various buttons familiarly and started the Strike Gundam driving program, smiled lightly.

"Just participated in part of the construction work of the x series! There is nothing surprising."

Kira, who didn't know the truth or not, nodded as if understanding.

"That's it. Then, Kay, just press the button over there to start the driving simulation program."

"understand!"

Seeing Kira walking out of the cockpit and closing the door, Bucky Lulu, who was standing below, wanted to continue protesting against Maru's decision, but was stopped by Mu.

"Lieutenant, if there is a choice, who do you want to be sitting in that machine? Student? Or, you would rather put students on the battlefield than try to let adults who want to protect others try it. ?"

Bucky Lulu was taken aback, and finally closed her mouth.
