Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

"Although I don't want to admit it, it was because I was too young that I made a mistake."

Siegfried who said this was punched in the chest before he could assume Char's posture.

"Ahem, cough, cough, I wonder if you have to hammer me to death to make me happy."

The owner of the fist is Cagalli, who came over from Orb as soon as possible. In fact, from the beginning, Uzmi sent a non-military team, hanging far away on the periphery of the battlefield with an observation attitude. , so they immediately relayed the Archangel's request for help to the Prime Minister's Office, and then Cagalli flew over directly on the Asghar family's private seaplane.

After receiving a message from Hilde on the way and knowing that Siegfried was fine, she did not ask the plane to slow down just so that she could deliver the punch as quickly as possible.

"You still know how to die!!! Do you think you are immortal?! What did you tell me before we left? How did you promise me? If it hadn't been for Hilde, would I have come to collect your body now? Got it!"

"In that case, I'm afraid we won't find the body."

Hilde, who had still not left, gave Cagalli a very rare comment, and then undoubtedly achieved the effect of 'adding fuel to the fire'. Just when Siegfried thought he was about to receive another 'rocket headbutt' ' When Cagalli saw the red light on his raised wrist, she finally softened her heart and spared the life of the guy in front of her who was already smiling apologetically.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that Siegfried was saved by Hilde again. He could completely understand Cagalli's anger, even if the method of expression was a little fierce, but he asked himself that he was used to this kind of communication. Way.

With the arrival of the nearest Orb rescue team, the storm gradually stopped. And a result that Siegfried did not expect was placed in front of him. First, ZAFT's Voskulov-class ship was shadowed by Gespenst. After a battle, two of the four councilor's sons were killed, which made the remaining troops With the idea of ​​saving one by one, he immediately stayed away from the sea area after rescuing Baofeng.

What was left for Cagalli and her rescue team was a broken Thunder Gundam and a tearful Nigel. However, Orb brought enough manpower and equipment, and finally they were in one place. A comatose Aslan was found on the inconspicuous beach.

According to Cagalli's description, Aslan probably only had one breath left when he was found. He had been soaked in sea water for a long time and suffered from hypothermia in the storm. If it weren't for the monster-like physical fitness of the adjuster and the fully functional combat suit, In the future, the Justice Gundam will face the problem of who will drive it.

After that, Orb took the initiative to take in the two of them out of humanitarianism, and the damaged Thunderbolt was naturally packed and taken back together in a grand manner. As the most distinctive mobile suit in G, no matter how simple Cagalli was, the accompanying Chisaka Don't miss this opportunity to have it delivered to your door.

As for the Gespenst, since it sank in the sea, the damage cannot be estimated for the time being, and if you want to salvage it, you will need to transport more professional salvage equipment from the mainland, so you will have to give up the recovery for a while and wait to find a solution later. .

"Then the remaining problem is her?"

Siegfried was naturally referring to Shiho, who was rescued by Hilde. She fell into a coma due to exhaustion and hypothermia, but she woke up before Cagalli arrived.

The first thing Shiho wanted to do when he woke up was to know the outcome of the battle. However, Hilde was not an understanding big sister. In the spirit of answering all questions, she confessed everything about the outcome of Team Sara. . Aslan had not been found at that time, so the version Shiho got was naturally the version in which the captain of his own team and his fiancé were MIA.

As for Siegfried on the side, even though Shiho didn't ask, he could probably guess that he was one of the pilots who united the two MSs, and judging from the way he was wrapped in a blanket, he was almost certain to have been taken out of the sea just like him. If you fish it out, the correct answer will be readily available.

"Duel Gundam."

"It pulled me and blew itself up. I don't know if there is an escape device on it. If not, he was probably killed in action."

Faced with Shiho's inquiry, Siegfried hesitated for a moment before choosing to speak directly. After all, he was connected to Legret, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

After hearing what he was thinking was confirmed, Shiho didn't burst into tears. He just buried his head deeply between his knees, not letting anyone see the expression on his face.

Later, after Cagalli confirmed that Aslan and Nigel had been taken in by Orb, she offered to let Shiho stay with them, but was rejected. Siegfried just couldn't bear to treat this single-celled person. The creature pulled aside.

"Can you please use your brain? How do you ask her to go back now? As a member of the team, at worst, she failed to provide help to win this battle, and at worst, she failed to save her fiancé. You let her How to face the remaining teammates?"

"Then we can't just leave her here. Even if she comes back to Orb with us, she will eventually be returned to PALNT! How about I have someone send Regret over now?"

"Are you, forget it, don't be angry with single-celled animals. Anyway, don't cause trouble. I'll let Hilde think of a solution."

As one of the insiders, Hilde was very aware of the relationship between Shiho and Regret. With her character, she would not care about the life and death of an unrelated person. However, Siegfried said, "You have to go anyway." PLANT, bringing one is just a reason, and bringing two is also a reason, half forced to give Shiho to her.

The last problem was solved successfully. Hilde naturally took Shiho to find tutor Marchio, and then took the two of them to PLANT through his channel. The existence of Kira was concealed. This was also her The main reason why I chose to cooperate with waste dealers instead of the Orb government.

Sitting on Cagalli's exclusive plane, Siegfried looked at the island below. If possible, he would never want to return to this place in his life.

"What are you thinking about?"

After coordinating all the matters, Cagalli was the last to board the plane. Siegfried looked at her and couldn't help but think, 'From the perspective of leading by example, she is indeed a good princess. If only she had a smarter mind.'

"I wonder if my body can be recovered."

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say this idea to Cagalli face to face. It would be no different from asking for a beating, so he gave a random excuse and tried to fool her.

"I heard from the technicians that it sank very deep, and your MS doesn't have PS armor like Assault. With the explosion at such a close range and the added sea pressure, it's probably useless even if it's salvaged."

"My poor Gespenst."

He sighed in an exaggerated manner. In terms of feelings alone, Siegfried still felt a little sorry for Gespenst. After all, it has been with him as a 'training aircraft' for so long, and Hilde said that there is still room for upgrades in the power system. Seeing that we are about to enter the era of nuclear power machine wars, we will not be confident in the future without a reliable mobile suit.

However, Orb, as a supporter, really made a lot of money this time. Not only did they recover the Strike Gundam with intact skeleton, but even the Thunderbolt was recovered together, and neither PLANT nor United could say half of it. No word.

On the PLANT side, Speaker Patrick's only son only saved his life because of Orb. Not to mention the United side, even Heliopolis lost money for Plan G. At this moment, it can be said that Orb is here. The reputation of the world camp briefly reached its highest level.

Unfortunately, if Orb's national destiny is a curve, there is no doubt that this moment is the peak of this curve. From now on, it will continue to decline and then decline, until finally the Sailan family has no bottom line and kneels down to add LOGOS. If Kira and the Klein forces behind him hadn't forcibly extended their lives, it would have been questionable whether this country could still exist after CE73.

However, none of these problems can be solved by Siegfried now, or in other words, with his ability, he probably won't be able to solve Orb's dilemma in another two years. Now he is temporarily in the melancholy of losing his beloved machine, because he knows that at this point in time In the past, MS was still a new product compared to the Earth's circle, and it was not like two years later when all large and small forces and even private armed forces could have their own MS.

So without his own dedicated machine, he couldn't think of a better way for a while. PLANT was known as the 'Security Black Hole', but he and Hilde were not familiar with each other, so he just went there and tried to grab a nuclear power machine so carelessly. Dreaming.

As for Orb, there has never been any outstanding aircraft in his memory. In the next two years, there may be a Dawn that can support the scene, but now he is still in Uzmi's inspection period, so he wants to ask for it at this point. At dawn, whether the mobile suit is completed or not is one thing, but the possibility of being killed directly by Uzumi as a spy is higher.

"By the way, won't Hilde come with us?"

Cagalli saw that Siegfried didn't seem to want to talk, thinking that he was still immersed in the sadness of losing his MS. Under Siegfried's influence, at least now, she doesn't still feel that the sin of the war is on the MS, so she is hesitating whether to get him a decent MS when she goes back, like the golden Heretic of the Sahak family. It looks good.

However, the horoscope has not yet been revealed, and she doesn't want Siegfried to be happy in vain, so she changes the topic to try to get him to stop thinking about MS. However, the technique is too blunt, so stiff that Siegfried can only pretend to cooperate. She went on.

"She is going to PLANT. Didn't your father tell you?"

"As I said, she said she wanted to see Speaker Klein, but she didn't expect to leave in such a hurry. She thought she would at least come back to Orb with us before leaving."

"Correction, Klein, the former Speaker, he stepped down a few days ago, and now the new Speaker is Patrick Sala. Oh, by the way, the young man you took in is his son."

“I can’t tell”

"He is the speaker's son and he doesn't show it on his face. Of course you can't tell."

"you!!!"

After bickering with Cagalli for a while, Siegfried held his chin with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the window. The sunset after the rain reflected the entire sea into a golden color. This scene made him think of something inexplicably.

'A body purer than the waves, the salt washes the shore, while the bright bird flies, rootless in the earth. ’

I wrote 400 words in one day yesterday. I estimate that I will stop for a day or two before the end of the year. There is a lot of report material to write.
