Machine Lion Roar

The small compact disc was offered by the subordinates' hands, and the proud young man took a look and then weighed it in his hands.

"Is this the gift from that George?"

The subordinate who provided the CD-ROM respectfully responded:

"Yes! The data in the CD has been preliminarily verified. It is indeed an OS program suitable for natural man-machine engineers."

"Really? It seems that our George's friend is very powerful, doesn't it?"

The young man moved his eyes and looked at the surveillance picture that seemed to be silent.

In fact, he knew that this seemingly peaceful picture, the man who was supposed to stay in the cramped single room had disappeared.

The CD in his hand was also delivered to him at that time.

"Hmph! Forget it. Although he was a little unhappy, at least he still sent timely rain. It can be considered as a contribution to the great cause of natural persons! After all, we need as many pilots as there are."

After a few sneers, the young man threw the CD back to his subordinates.

"Take it! Research and study for those people. If feasible, accelerate the progress of the plan!"

"Yes!"

Just when the subordinate was about to leave with the CD-ROM, the young man suddenly called him.

"Wait! I remember that two people had driven the aircraft, didn't it?"

"Yes. One of them..."

The subordinate paused, glanced at the unchanging screen, and immediately walked around.

"The second one is an Orb student, um, the first-generation adjuster. According to the people on the Archangel, he wrote the original OS program for Strike Gundam."

"Oh? There's something like this? Interesting! Take him away too! If anyone asks, it's me, Yazlar."

"Yes! Your Excellency Yazlar."

The two people, with different destinies, were pulled apart.

Passenger planes from all over the world landed on the runway of the international airport with the roar of engines under the direction of the tower.At this time, there will always be a large number of passengers stepping off the passenger plane, following the guidance all the way to the passenger passage, ready to go to the distant city.

Among these travelers, a pair of teenagers and girls with similar faces are also among them.

"We are here. Audrey."

Lei Mingkai carried a few salutes, looked around the crowd around him, frowning slightly from time to time.

In the constant flow of people, there seemed to be some unkind existences.

Moreover, the number seems to be a bit high.

"Yeah. Let's go!"

Lacus also noticed Lei Mingkai's strangeness and moved closer to Lei Mingkai.

"The big man on the left is staring here."

In order to board the plane smoothly, the White Cat Zero will not follow the process like those cats and dogs, but simply restore the previous look that no one can see, and follow Lei Mingkai.

"Yes. Pay attention to staring around!"

After Lei Mingkai exchanged a few words with the white cat, he walked out of the airport with Lacus, and he found a taxi at random to head to the distant city.

The reason for coming here is not because of George.

In fact, when George initially arranged for Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​to leave North America, the city did not appear.

The reason that led Lei Mingkai and the others to come here was the suggestion made by Lacus suddenly.

It seems that there are people in this city that Lux wants to meet.

As for who it was, Lacus did not confess until the two arrived at the scheduled hotel to rest.

It was only when night fell quietly that Lux took Lei Mingkai out of the hotel and came to a restaurant open on the corner of the street.

"here is?"

"Find someone."

Lacus answered very simply.

Lei Mingkai glanced at the neon sign with the words Herman Brothers on his head and pushed the door open.

As a result, the situation inside surprised Lei Mingkai a bit.

It is different from the noisy bustling outside. Although there are many people sitting at their tables, chatting, or eating, there is a certain tranquility that maintains a tacit understanding.

Lux looked at the situation behind Lei Mingkai, searched carefully, and found the person she was looking for.

A woman who sits in a corner and dines on her own, but is faintly different from this peaceful atmosphere.

"Kay, over there."

Laks pulled Lei Mingkai into the restaurant, walked through the crowd in the eyes of the waiter, and came to the corner where the woman was.

"Gui'an. Miss Yemengarde."

Lacus seemed nervous when she said this.

Except for her face that is trying her best to maintain a calm face, only the little hands that hold Lei Mingkai, harder and harder, will reveal the tension in her heart.

Obviously, the name Yemengarde made the woman pause for a while, but she quickly put down the knife and fork in her hand and raised her head to look at Lux and Lei Mingkai.

Especially when he saw Lei Mingkai's face, Lei Mingkai noticed that the woman's breathing was a little messy.

"Gui'an."

The woman's response was just nodding silently, then lowered her head and ignored Lux ​​and Lei Mingkai.

Immediately afterwards, Lux stretched out her finger and drew a circle on the tabletop beside the woman.

The appearance of this circle caused the woman to raise her head again and stare at Lux's face. The holographic image inspired by the pendant concealed her true face.

"Please come with me! Honorable guest."

This time, the woman didn't avoid it, but stood up straight and walked into the restaurant without looking back.

Lei Mingkai cast a questioning look at Lux, but Lux just shook her head slightly, indicating that he would tell Lei Mingkai the truth later, and then pulled Lei Mingkai along with him.

When going to the innermost part of the restaurant, you can see all kinds of waiters along the way, but what they all have in common is that they immediately lower their heads and no longer look at the surroundings after seeing the woman who became Yemengard by Lacus It wasn't until the woman, Lux and Lei Mingkai passed by them, that they hurriedly left here.

The heavy iron door slowly opened and then slowly closed.

The woman known as Yemengarde stood between the only desk and sofa in the entire room, looking at Lux and Lei Mingkai.

"Please prove your identity."

Lacus took a deep breath, glanced at Lei Mingkai, and under the guarantee of the latter, said softly:

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

The brilliance passed, and the image of the black-haired girl quietly disappeared, revealing a face that shouldn't exist here.

At the moment the long pink hair fluttered, the woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she took a quick step back subconsciously and pressed a button on the desk.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

Thick metal plates continued to smash down, blocking the room, preventing anything inside or any sound from reaching outside.

The long pink hair stretched out gently, and her simple and beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes without any concealment. Those eyes gleaming with pure brilliance made the woman confirm the identity of the girl in front of her.

"This... the world is crazy."

The woman took a few steps back, leaning against the desk, supporting her body with her hands.

"So, do you want us to take everything back for you? Miss Lux Klein!"

"Don't you doubt my identity?"

Lux looked at the woman who didn't seem to doubt her identity.

"Doubt? Don't be kidding! Miss Lacus. Yemengarde's nouns surround the ring of the atrium. These things will only appear in Klein's memory once. Moreover, it may not be used until death. "

"It's father."

As if perceiving Lei Mingkai's doubts, Lacus finally revealed the secret of the trip.

"On my sixth birthday, after my father gave me a new dress, he told me a story about Yemengarde. Although at that time, I only regarded it as a fairy tale, but after school, But I found that the traditional Yemengad story is very different from what my father said about Yemengad."

"That's why you want to come here and try?"

Lei Mingkai couldn't help being surprised by Lux's courage. In an unknown situation, relying on vague childhood memories to find it all the way.

"Well. This is an opportunity. An opportunity for me to find the truth."

The communication between Lux and Lei Mingkai was also seen by the woman.

"Presumably this gentleman is the legendary Mr. Lei Mingkai, the last survivor of Yunius No. 7, right? It surprised me. I didn't expect that Mr. Lei Mingkai, who had been rumored to have died with the enemy, would appear here. And, with the real Lux Klein."

Yemengarde smiled, and did not break the relationship between the two.

"Stop gossip. Yemengarde. I want to see someone."

"A person?"

Yemengade raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.

"Miss Lacus didn't go to Scandinavia right away to seek help from the Sass family, but came to me to find someone?"

"Yes. Please do me a favor."

Lux's solemn request made Yemengarde shrug his shoulders.

"Okay! Just say the person's name! In fact, the ring around the atrium is yours the moment you identify yourself. Master Lux Klein."

"The developer, Serene Markgrave."

Despite watching the process, Lei Mingkai was still a little illusory. Even if he left the restaurant named Herman Brothers, returned to the hotel and stood on the balcony surrounded by the night wind, he never recovered.

As for what happened in front of him, he had a certain understanding of the world, and he discovered that for many Gundam fans, the Klein family, which should have been transparent, was so elusive at this moment, unable to see the reality.

The ring around the atrium.

This is derived from the description of Yemengarde in Norse mythology.

The giant snake is large and slender enough to surround the entire world, so it is called the "earthly giant python", or "the giant snake surrounding the atrium".

Presumably, the name surrounding the atrium ring comes from here.

"Are you surprised? Kay."

Lux's figure walked out of the room and came to Lei Mingkai's side.

When the hem of Lux's skirt was blown by the night wind, and there was a faint sound, Lei Mingkai's gaze retracted from the brightly lit city in the distance, and fell on Lux's face, who had become a black-haired girl again. on.

"Somewhat. I didn't expect that there is such an organization behind Klein."

"Actually, I am the same."

Lacus raised her eyes to meet Lei Mingkai, and said her thoughts frankly.

"Actually, I didn't have much fantasies about the ring surrounding the atrium from the beginning. I just wanted to prove that when I was six years old, my father, who spoke the story of Yemengard with a serious face, wanted to express the truth. "

"The result, as you wished?"

"Yes. But, I am a little confused now."

Lux's face was very calm, but there was a trace of confusion deep in her eyes.

"The complexity of this world is beyond my imagination. This war may not be as simple as the contradiction between a natural person and an adjustment person."

"The world can never be understood simply. Audrey, it's good for you to understand this."

"Ok."

Lax nodded silently.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and it is another sunny day.

When the sun, which arbitrarily scattered the brilliance on the earth, rose to mid-air, a car drove out of the densely trafficked central street and slowly stopped in a small lane where there were few vehicles.

"Is it here?"

The door opened, and a mature woman in a white coat stepped out of the car, looking at the restaurant named Herman Brothers, and said silently.

"Yes. It's here. I didn't expect that the director would let you come to this restaurant!"

Driving the car is a calm middle-aged man who seems to be familiar with the restaurant in front of him.

"You came here? Edmund."

The woman seemed surprised that her colleagues would be familiar with this place.

"That's right! I've been here a few times during the welcoming ceremony for my subordinates before. Well, yes. The rum here is pretty good!"

After the car was parked, the man named Edmund walked up to the woman and nodded.

"Let's go! See what kind of work the director did for Sereni?"

What Celene did not expect was that sitting in this restaurant, the person who pointed out that she wanted to see her turned out to be the big one among the many sponsors.

"Good meeting! Miss Serene Macgrave. I am Audrey Ogg Sass from Scandinavia."

The dark-haired girl introduced her name gracefully and calmly.

"Sass? The eldest lady of the Sass family?"

None of the researches carried out are frontier projects with huge investment and many costs.In order to complete research projects that stand at the forefront of the human world, it is necessary to attract investment from funds from all over the world.

Among these benefactors, the funds provided by the Sass family from Scandinavia are among the top three.

"No, it's just a name that is not worth mentioning. Miss Sereni. This is what I want to see you for. I hope you can help me."

Lacus did not feel complacent about Sai Lei and Edmund's sigh, but pushed an envelope containing a piece of information in front of Sai Renee.
