Machine Lion Roar

PLANT Capital, April City.

The atmosphere exuded by the headquarters of the National Defense Commission, which was more noisy than usual, made Aslan frowned slightly.

This is in stark contrast to the slightly relaxed atmosphere a few days ago because of the good fighting situation.

"So what happened?"

In the past few days, Aslan has almost stayed in the hospital, accompanied by his "Lax Klein".

For a Zaft pilot, this was obviously an extraordinary behavior.

But the reason why Aslan was able to do this was because he was instructed by his father, who was also the defense chairman Patrick Sara.

Now, the situation of "Lux" has improved, and Aslan has time to get out and come to the headquarters of the National Defense Commission to look at the current situation. As a result, it looks like this.

"Oh, it's been a long time! Aslan, how are you doing?"

Just when Aslan was puzzled by what he was seeing, a familiar, magnetic voice came from behind him.

"Captain Cruzer."

Turning around, Aslan found that Kluzer, who hadn't seen him for many days, was standing behind him at some point.

"Well, in good spirits. It seems that your lovely fiancee's situation has improved, hasn't it?"

There was a smile of satisfaction under Cruzer's mask.

After he raised his hand and patted Aslan on the shoulder, he lifted his steps and walked towards the office of the chief of defense.

"Aslan. Do you know what happened these days?"

Although the surrounding voices were a bit noisy, Cruze heard Aslan's footsteps following.

"No. I don't know."

Aslan, who was asked about it, showed a trace of shame.

"Aslan. Don't care about these things. For men, family is equally important. Moreover, it is not yet your turn to play."

At this moment, Cruze seemed to be an incarnation of a life mentor, unlocking Aslan.

Aslan, who followed Kluzer, looked at Kluzer's back and responded softly.

"Yes! I see! Captain Cruzer."

"Yeah. That's good. Speaking of which, the chairman has also been worried about you and Miss Lux in the past few days. It seems that the chairman should be able to breathe a sigh of relief."

After the two of them stepped on the escalator one after another, a seemingly unintentional word from Cruze made Aslan's nerves tense.

"Captain Cruze. You mean?"

"Well. The man known as the "Desert Tiger", Andy Baltfield was confirmed dead a few days ago. Our Zaft base at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean has fallen."

"That, that Victoria Airport..."

"Yes. Now what the chairman is worried about is that the Victoria Airport we just captured will be retaken by the Earth United because of that man's death."

The two of them exchanged ideas about the current situation from time to time in tandem, but in fact, most of the time, it was Kruzer talking and Aslan listening.

This exchange didn't stop until the two came to the office of the chief of defense.

"Go in! Aslan. I believe the chairman has been waiting for a while. My business is not too urgent!"

What makes Aslan strange is that Kruze should have taken the first step, but instead let himself enter the office first.

"Aslan, you are here. Sit for a while!"

Entering the office, the first thing Aslan saw was Patrick Sarah listening on the phone.

The latter signaled Aslan to sit down and wait for a while, then quietly and quickly told the person on the other end of the microphone before putting down the microphone, closing his eyes and thinking about something silently.

Fortunately, Patrick did not make Aslan wait too long.

Only in less than five minutes, when Patrick closed his eyes and opened his eyes again in contemplation, the expression on his face was already slightly softened.

"Athlan. What's the situation with Lux?"

Aslan stood up immediately and saluted to Patrick:

"Yes. Lux's condition has improved. The doctor also said that she can be discharged from the hospital in the last two days."

"Yeah. Not bad. Aslan, it's just Sara's party now. There is no need to be so serious."

Aslan was taken aback by Patrick's words, but he nodded silently.

"Yes! Father."

Patrick waved his hand and motioned to Aslan to sit down again, and then he also left the desk and sat on the sofa opposite Aslan, looking at him face to face.

Patrick's scrutiny gaze made Aslan subconsciously avoid it, and he dared not look directly at Patrick.

"Aslan. How long has it passed since that happened?"

That is a scar.

A side in front of Sarah and his son, can not be avoided, it is a scar that has affected the present.

"One year. Father. Mother has been away from us for one year."

Every time he mentions his mother who died tragically under the combined attack of the earth, Aslan's mood will drop to the freezing point.

"Yeah! It's been a year. I have been back home several times recently and it feels much deserted. Aslan, it's time for you to think about this family."

"Eh?"

Immersed in the sorrow caused by the death of his mother, Aslan was unable to react for a while.

"Sure enough! Aslan. You lucky brat!"

In Patrick's eyes, Aslan has never been able to satisfy him.

On the contrary, a close friend who has always held the opposite idea to him has a daughter who can look back in time to see the world clearly.

"slow?"

Aslan really couldn't figure it out.

Even if the anger in Patrick's eyes grew, Aslan couldn't think of what his father was referring to.

"Humph! Forget it. You go back first! Let Cruzer come in."

The confused Aslan was finally driven out by Patrick who hated iron and steel.

But after all, it was a father-son game. The moment Aslan stepped out of the office, Patrick's words floated over.

"Siegel called just now, hoping that Lux will stay at our house for a while. You, go back and prepare!"

Aslan was stunned on the spot, but he didn't have the courage to turn around and return to the office to ask his father clearly.

"Congratulations! Aslan!"

Cruze, who was standing by the door waiting, naturally heard these words. After sending his blessings to Aslan, he walked into Patrick's office, leaving Aslan alone at the door.

"Lucky guy! Enjoy this time to your heart's content!"

Looking back at the earth.

In that hot desert, a group of people are making a temporary goodbye.

"Kay, can't you really let me continue to study for a while?"

After receiving the commission payment, Luo, who was notified by the member professor of the recovery room to go to Orb to collect the new mothership, looked at the white Baku in front of him very reluctantly.

During this time, Luo really encountered hard stubble.

No matter how hard he racked his brains and let Xiao 8 exhaust all his computing power, he still couldn't find out the reason why White Baku restarted.

Reality made Luo both discouraged and helpless.

"If we procrastinate like this, we will probably miss the time to travel to Scandinavia."

The "death" of the Desert Tiger was undoubtedly a thunderstorm that triggered this area and even affected the Victoria Airport thousands of miles away.The two sides who have not yet reacted will react quickly with the passage of time. At that time, this area may once again be caught in the competition between the two sides.

Lei Mingkai politely rejected Luo Na's still unwilling thoughts, and looked at Seb, who was guarding the children to bid farewell to Lux.

As soon as the eyes of the two met, Lei Mingkai knew that Seb was already prepared for a possible future.

Seb didn't speak, but nodded silently, even if he said goodbye to Lei Mingkai.

"Hey! Kay. Again, the last time! Is that okay?"

Seeing that Lei Mingkai's determination had been made, Luo could only beg to give him one last chance again.

"Ro. I've said it in advance! This is the last time. If you delay any longer, driving this Baku across the desert will not be as easy as it is now."

"Okay! I'll be fine soon!"

As soon as Lei Mingkai's permission was obtained, Luo immediately followed the ladder and jumped all the way into the cockpit of the white Baku, and started another round of testing in a familiar way-although this test was destined to be fruitless.

"This kid really doesn't give up!"

The white cat's fragmented thoughts followed Luo ran to the cockpit of the white Baku, and it sounded in Lei Mingkai's mind.

"Let him alone! Is Baku ready? Our journey is a bit far this time."

"Well, you can set off at any time. After all, this kid has two tricks, which saves me a lot of effort."

"That's good."

Communicate with the White Cat Zero Style about the current state of White Baku. Lei Mingkai, who felt that the time was about the same, raised his footsteps and came to Lacus who was reluctant to leave with the children.

"Time is up! Audrey, let's go!"

"Ok!"

Knowing that the time is not early, Lacus nodded, and finally gave a little girl a big hug, and after a few words gently, he walked to the feet of White Baku with Lei Mingkai and waited. Luo's last test is over.

"Kay, Audrey. If you have time, can you go to Orb? That's my home. I'll treat you at that time."

Kakali, who watched Lei Mingkai and Lacus farewell to everyone from the beginning, finally couldn't help but ran over and proactively offered an invitation.

"Ok?"

Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​looked at each other in surprise, and the latter asked:

"Kagali, aren't you from here?"

"No! I just happened to be here. Actually, my home is in Orb."

When Lacus asked about getting home, Kagali hesitated a few times, and then after finishing speaking in one breath, she waved her hand, turned and ran away.

"Kay, what's wrong with Kagali?"

"I'm afraid it's not running away from home!"

Lei Mingkai sighed, then shook his head, turned to the cockpit of the white Baku and shouted:

"Ro! Are you done? We are going to start!"

"Oh! Alright!"

Luo stretched his head from the cockpit and sighed in frustration.

"Forget it! Xiaoba, let's go! It seems we can't find out the secret of this Baku."

"It's just that people don't want to tell you yet! Luo."

Hearing this, Luo shrugged his shoulders and didn't care much.

The reward for coming to this desert is enough for them to spend some time on earth.

"Kay. If you are going all the way to Scandinavia along the coast of the Mediterranean, you might meet someone. Then help me greet him."

Luo and Lei Mingkai, who jumped from the cockpit, made a fist and touched each other, Luo seemed to suddenly remember something.

"A person? Who?"

Lei Mingkai changed his mind and thought it would be another pilot of Gundam heresy, right?

"Yeah. His name is Cong Yunjie, the leader of the Serpent's Tail of the mercenary group. Judging from the mission mentioned when he was separated from him last time, Cong Yunjie should now be an activity on the Eurasian Federation. ."

While talking, Luo suddenly patted his palm.

"That's right! His body is heresy Gundam. It's just that his body is painted in blue, which is the opposite of my red heresy. It's easy to do. When you meet him, say Luo to him. "

Unexpectedly, Lei Mingkai, who was about to leave this desert and head to Scandinavia, might have the chance to encounter the Serpent's Tail.

Judging from the current situation, if he drove across the Eurasian Federation in white Baku like this, he would most likely be targeted by the Serpent's Tail, which works for the earth most of the time, right?

Thinking of this, Lei Mingkai couldn't help but smile secretly.

When the time comes, how can you still say hello to Luo Xiang Cong Yun?

It's really embarrassing!

He sighed so much in his heart, but Lei Mingkai still reached out and patted Luo on the shoulder.

"Ro. If we meet again, we might as well go have a drink. In the name of a friend."

"friend?"

Luo seemed surprised.

"Yeah. Friends. But, it depends on whether we have this fate in the future?"

After that, Lei Mingkai picked up Lux and slowly boarded the white Baku with the towing rope hanging from the top of the cockpit.

With the closing of the cockpit, the hot air of the desert, which has been used to some extent, was immediately isolated by the thick cabin door. Then, the cold air from the air conditioner also opened up, quickly reducing the temperature of the cockpit to a suitable level. .

"Lux. Is there anything else to say?"

Lei Mingkai asked before driving away in White Baku.

"No. Goodbye has already been said goodbye. Let's go! Kay, we have lost too much time. Captain Baltfield and their departure may trigger the next round of battles."

During this period of time, Lacus thought a lot and saw a lot of things. Baltfield and others left simply, which brought a rare peace in this area.

Just how long can this peace last?

Lacus did not know that as long as the Victoria Airport is still there, this area will inevitably fall into a new round of competition.

Therefore, time is not enough.

"Then, let's go! Baku, start, go ahead at full speed!"
