At this moment, on the optical screen, the red Holy Shield Gundam was rapidly approaching the Assault Gundam. Then, when it was still a short distance away from the Assault Gundam, it stopped and quietly stood opposite the Assault Gundam. Then, the Assault Gundam that had been waiting there raised the beam gun in its hand and aimed it at the Holy Shield Gundam's chest. Then, the cockpits of the Assault Gundam and the Holy Shield Gundam opened one after another, exposing the pilots inside. Then, the Holy Shield Gundam's pilot came outside the cockpit and reached out to grab Lux's hand that was flying towards him from the Assault Gundam's cockpit. He pulled her to his side and said a few words to Kira. Then, he brought Lux back to the cockpit and flew back to their respective warships with the Assault Gundam.
"The enemy's mecha are attacking." Just as the two Gundams were on their way back to their respective warships, the Archangel's radar adjutant suddenly reported.
"The Nascar-class warship's engine has been activated." The thermal radar monitor followed.
Immediately, Mu, who had already predicted that Cruz would do this, immediately started the MA's engine and rushed out of the Archangel. However, just as Mu Suo's Ma and Kreutzer's Ms rushed past Assault and Holy Shield Gundam, Kreutzer's Ms suddenly came to an abrupt stop and flew back to Holy Shield Gundam's side. Together with the Holy Shield, they flew back to the Nazca class warship.
Then, the Assault Gundam, accompanied by the MA driven by Mu, returned to the Archangel.
After the Assault Gundam and the MA returned to the Archangel, Bujiluru stood up and said to Margaret, "Captain, I suggest that we conduct a military trial for Lord Kira and the MA."
"Okay." Margaret turned to look at Bujilulu, who had a determined look on her face. She sighed and agreed. Then, she got up and left the bridge with Bujiluru and Sei Itō. She found Mu and Kira who had just walked out of the garage and announced the decision.
"Huh?" Hearing that there was going to be a military trial, Mu immediately made a sound of surprise and turned to look at the depressed Kira beside him. But as a soldier, Mu couldn't say anything about this matter and could only agree helplessly.
"As the party involved. You can have a lawyer, "Bakilulu said to Kira with a serious face.
"If it's a lawyer …" Maui's gaze immediately fell on Sei Itō and Mu.
"Don't look for me, I'm not familiar with military law at all." Sei Itō floated to Bucky Lulu's side and said to Marlene in a hurry.
"Alright then. Let me be Kira's defender. "Mu Chang sighed and said helplessly.
Then, Maryu, Bucky, Lulu, and Sei Itō went to the captain's lounge. They were going to use this place as a military court for the time being. Then, the three of them each found a place to sit down and waited.
After a while, Mu and Kira, who had changed back into the Earth Alliance Army uniform, came into the room.
In the room, Maryu, as the captain and the judge of the temporary military court, naturally sat in the main seat behind the desk. In the open space in front of her stood Kira, who was the prisoner awaiting trial. On Kira's left and right sat his defender Mu and prosecutor Bujiluru. As for the only idle person, Sei Itō, as a witness, sat behind Kira by the window frame.
"The court is in session." After everyone arrived, Maryu announced.
As Maryu's voice fell, Bucky Lulu, as the prosecutor, immediately recounted the crimes committed by Kira.
"The defendant didn't realize how much of a threat his actions would pose to the safety of the ship," Bucky Lulu said.
"This is just your speculation. There is no real evidence. I want to delete this speech from the record. "Mu defended Kira.
"Permission granted." With her hands clasped together, her elbows on the table, and her eyes fixed on Kira in front of her, Maryu agreed.
"This case … using civilians as hostages violated Article 4 of the Treaty of Golusca." Mu, who held the military law manual in both hands, continued to defend.
"The actions this time were based on the wartime measures of Special Case Project C. Only then would they be appropriately dealt with. " Although Bujiluru also held a military law manual in her hand, she didn't look at it. She retorted based on the military regulations in her mind.
"Huh? Special Case Project C? How come I didn't know there was such a thing? " Mu was also a military law amateur. When he heard Bujiluru's words, he immediately flipped through the manual in his hand with a surprised expression. But there were so many military laws, how could he find it in a short time? In the end, Mu had to put aside the Special Case Project C. He directly used the results to defend himself, "But because the hostages were released, the Naska-class battleship retreated, and we were out of danger."
"This is just based on the results," Bujiluru retorted.
"Yamato Kira, do you have anything to say?" Maryu said to Kira, who had been silent the whole time. But after waiting for a while and still not hearing Kira's answer, she had to ask directly, "Why did you do that without authorization?"
"I didn't save her because she was a hostage." Kira was disgusted by the Earth Army that used civilians as hostages from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he had nothing to say, so he said with a very serious expression.
"You didn't save her because she was a hostage, but because you didn't want her to be used again. Or you didn't want her to stay on the ship and be imprisoned. "Sei Itō, who had been watching the trial, thought to himself after hearing Kira's words.
"That's right. If you want to do it, you would only do it for your girlfriend," Mu said in a joking tone, but Kira only glared at him.
"Objection." Bujiluru immediately stood up and protested.
"Defense, please pay attention to what you say," Maryu turned to Mu and warned him. Then she put her hands in front of her, looked at Kira, and said, "Yamato Kira, you violated Article 3.b, Article 10.f of the military law, and also contradicted Article 13.3 of the military law. The court has decided to sentence you to death."
Hearing this, Kira immediately showed an expression of disbelief. He looked at Maryu in shock, his eyes full of despair. He probably never thought that his actions would bring about his death.
"But in the end, that was the verdict in the military court. The court has no right to punish civilians. So I hope Yamato Kira can be careful in the future. I will leave the court now. "After a pause, Maryu suddenly changed her tone and said in a calm tone.
This sudden change was like a light in the darkness, immediately calling back Kira who had fallen into despair. He looked at Maryu with a face full of surprise and opened his mouth, "That …"
"That is to say, don't act on your own in the future." Mu on the side stood up and said to Kira.
Although Bujiluru was dissatisfied with this verdict, she also knew that everything on the ship was decided by Maryu, so she didn't argue. She just stood there silently and angrily looked at Mu and Kira who were leisurely chatting there.
"I'll leave first." Kira calmed down and said to the four people in the room, then he turned and walked out. After him, the relaxed Mu and the angry Bujiluru also left the room one after another.
"Phew." Maryu let out a long breath when she saw Bujiluru leave.
"It seems that you are powerless against Second Lieutenant Bujiluru." Sei Itō walked to Maryu's table and looked at her with a smile.
"Natale is too serious about everything. Although this will make her an excellent soldier, it will also make her lose a lot of things." Maryu raised her hand to rub her forehead and said in a low voice.
"Don't you think this is the best Natale for you?" Sei Itō smiled.
"Maybe." Maryu tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said.
"Hey, Maryu …" Suddenly, Sei Itō called Maryu in a very gentle tone.
"Hmm?" Maryu looked at Sei Itō in front of her in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.
"There are no outsiders in the room now." Sei Itō walked around the table to Maryu's side and said with a smile.
"Lieutenant Sei Itō." Maryu immediately knew what Sei Itō was going to do. Her face flashed red, and then she called out to Sei Itō in a serious tone.
"Hehe." Sei Itō turned a deaf ear to Maryu's name. He chuckled and walked in front of Maryu. He pressed one hand on the armrest of the chair Maryu was sitting on and put the other hand on the top of the chair. He looked down at Maryu and gradually moved his head closer.
Hearing Sei Itō's and her own breathing and feeling the warm breath, Maryu dodged in a panic. At the same time, she reached out her hands to Sei Itō's chest and pushed. But Sei Itō's strength was not something Maryu could compare to. After pushing a few times, Sei Itō didn't loosen at all. In the end, Maryu had no choice but to close her eyes and prepare to accept Sei Itō's kiss.
Maryu closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but she still didn't see Sei Itō kiss her. She carefully opened her eyes and saw Sei Itō's face almost touching hers …
"Since you're so resistant, I'll let it go this time. I'll taste your beautiful lips next time." Sei Itō looked at Maryu and said softly. After that, he backed away from Maryu and left Maryu's room.
"Phew." After the sensor door closed again, Maryu let out a long sigh. Then a half relaxed and half disappointed feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.
The next three days were peaceful. There were no more Zaft's pursuit outside, and there were no more incidents on the ship. They successfully arrived near the main force of the 8th fleet and prepared to rendezvous with the main force of the 8th fleet.
"We'll reach the rendezvous point in about 30 minutes." Inside the bridge, Maryu, who had her hands crossed in front of her chest, looked at the dark space outside and said softly, "This day has finally arrived."
"Everyone, increase your vigilance and pay attention to the fleet. There may be enemies targeting the fleet." Hearing Maryu's words, Bakilulu immediately ordered loudly.
"Yes!" The radar officer responded.
