"Alaska is here, and we are here now. We really landed in a very tricky place, completely within the sphere of influence of Zaft. " In the captain's lounge, Mu held a coffee cup in one hand and pointed to the two areas represented by two colors on the map of the world hanging on the wall in front of him with the other.
"Libya Desert." Sei Itō leaned back on the pillar of the bed next to him with his hands crossed in front of his chest. He looked at the map painted red, which represented the landing area of the Archangel, and said softly.
"There was no other way, we couldn't just watch the Gundam get separated." Sitting behind the desk, Margaret, who also held a coffee cup in her hand, said softly with a look of reminiscence.
"In short, the goal and destination of the ship remain the same." Margaret, who put the coffee cup on the table, played with the hair on her forehead with one hand, and said in a low mood.
"Are you okay?" Mu turned around and looked at Margaret with concern.
"Mhmm." Margaret responded in a low voice.
"Is the vice-captain okay?" Mu continued to ask with concern.
"He's fine." Margaret looked up at Mu and smiled.
"That's good." Mu raised his hand and finished the coffee in the cup. He put the empty cup on the table, got up, and said, "I'm going to check on the child, and then I'm going to sleep. Also, you should go to bed early. If you are still so tired, you can't do anything. "
After that, Mu left the captain's lounge.
"Don't worry, Kira is fine." Sei Itō straightened up from the pillar and put down his arms. He walked around the table to Margaret's side, leaned his butt on the edge of the table, and put his left hand on the table. He tilted his body and looked down at Margaret to comfort her. "Since we have landed on Earth, Alaska can go back sooner or later."
"I know," Margaret whispered.
"Since you know, why do you still look so sad?" Sei Itō said, reached out his right hand to Margaret's chin, and raised her head so that she looked at him. He smiled.
"Don't mess around." Margaret rolled her eyes at Sei Itō, raised her hand, and slapped away Sei Itō's right hand from her chin.
"Okay. I'm not fooling around. " Sei Itō shrugged. Then, under Maureen's shocked gaze, he bent down and carried her in his arms. He walked around the table to the bed on the side. He gently laid Ma Liu down, then lowered his head to look at Ma Liu who was still looking at him in shock. He chuckled and said, "Mu is right. It seems that you really need to have a good rest."
As he spoke, he reached out and brushed the messy hair on Ma Liu's forehead. Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed Ma Liu's slightly opened lips due to her shock …
"Ugh!" Suffering Sei Itō's sudden attack, Margaux instinctively let out a muffled cry.
"Oh, there's a bitter taste of coffee. Drink less of that in the future. It's not good for your health." After a while, Sei Itō raised his head slightly and looked at the blushing Margaret. Then, he quickly straightened his back as the latter became angry from embarrassment. She smiled and said, "Okay, I won't disturb your rest. Good night, dear Ma Liu."
After that, he quickly exited the captain's lounge and disappeared behind the door.
"This bastard." Lying on the bed, Ma Liu cursed in a low voice.
…
"It's Earth. Well, let's contact Chen Deren again. "Sei Itō walked out of the captain's lounge and licked his lips with his tongue. Then, he slowly walked to the middle section of the Archangel. There was a corridor with a huge observation window and he took out the communication device from the Rubik's cube world. He contacted Chen Deren.
"Oh, sir." Soon, Chen Deren's voice came from the phone.
"Chen Deren, you don't need to collect the information I mentioned before. From now on, help me collect the nuclear fuel on Earth. Collect as much as you can and send it to me before April 12. Do you understand?" Sei Itō said.
"Understood, sir." Chen Deren immediately agreed, and from the tone of his reply, he was obviously much more relaxed than when he first received the call. Obviously, Chen Deren was very supportive of the decision to not collect the expensive and difficult to obtain information.
After hearing Chen Deren's agreement, Sei Itō simply turned off the call and put away the communication device. He stood in the corridor and looked at the night outside the window …
After a while, Sei Itō, who felt a little bored, turned around and left the corridor. He came to the garage and happened to meet Mu who was inspecting the new body.
"Yo, you're here too." Sei Itō raised his hand and greeted Mu.
"You're here to look at the body too?" Mu turned to Sei Itō and asked.
"Mhmm, no matter what, you're going to be my combat partner. If I don't get to know you, what if you suddenly throw a tantrum at me?" Sei Itō walked to Mu's side and patted the blue and white body of the Sky Overlord that used fighter jets in the atmosphere.
"You're a master who can fight Gundam alone. Why would you care about this?" Mu joked.
"That was in the universe. There was no gravity. Now we're on Earth. I'm not afraid of anything on land, but in the sky … I haven't evolved to the level of a bird man yet." Sei Itō said meaningfully.
"Haha, that's true." People like Mu didn't understand the deeper meaning in Sei Itō's words, so they didn't even hear it. They only thought that Sei Itō was joking and laughed.
"How is it?" Sei Itō retracted his hand from the nose of the plane and asked Mu.
"Didn't you read the manual?" Mu looked at Sei Itō in surprise and asked.
"Not yet." Sei Itō shook his head.
"How should I put it? It's a very interesting body. It can even be equipped with Assault Gundam equipment. Looks like we'll have to be a courier in the future." Mu looked at the Sky Overlord and joked.
"It's a captain's … Ah, no, a major. I believe it can reach anywhere safely." The captain of the maintenance team, Kejermadok, added.
"Although it's a recommendation from Commander Harbarton, it's still …" Mu looked at Kejermadok and said.
"Mu, are you trying to show off? You know. Compared to the situation where all of you were promoted, I only shortened the promotion time and was punished by one year. How can a guy like you complain after being promoted make me feel bad? "After listening to Mu's words, Sei Itō on the side pretended to be depressed and complained.
"Sorry, sorry." Mu also remembered that there was a guy next to him who didn't get promoted. He quickly apologized, and then continued, "The salary increase is really good."
"But there's no time to spend, right?" Kejermadok, who was checking whether the fixed facilities were safe, said, "Those guys are all on the front line. Especially that kid is already a second lieutenant, but he's the pilot. "
"Yeah, the others are all second-class soldiers. It's really … "Mu, who was checking the condition of the body, said.
"Hahaha, he'll be able to stand alone soon." Kejermadok, who finished checking the fixed facilities, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, has the kid's fever gone down?"
"It went down in the morning. I really don't know if the Assault Gundam is better or the kid's body is better. " Mu climbed onto the Sky Overlord and looked at the situation in the cockpit while answering. Then he turned to look at Kejermadok and asked in confusion, "By the way, do you know why Kira always calls that thing Gundam?"
"Ah, that's what appeared on the startup screen. It's an all-domain universal continuous enhancement mobile weapon mechanism. You read the first letter together. In the army, it's called by the first letter, "Kejermadok explained.
"However, don't you think the name of the institution is a bit exaggerated? All-domain, universal application, continuous enhancement … It seems that none of these three words are simple. If you put them together, when has there been such an exaggerated scientific research institution on earth? "Sei Itō, who was reading the manual, suddenly said.
"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have noticed. It's really an exaggerated name," Mu said.
"Indeed," Kejermadok also agreed.
"I'm done. I've understood most of the things. Let's start setting up now, "Sei Itō closed the manual in his hand and looked at the Sky Overlord in front of him.
Then he walked to the side of the Sky Overlord, stretched out his foot, stepped on the stairs in front of him, and flipped into the cockpit. He pulled the system keyboard in front of the console and started to operate it.
"Shh! Beautiful. " Mu looked at Sei Itō's straightforward action of getting on the machine. He whistled, then made a fist with his right hand and praised Sei Itō.
In response to Mu's praise, Sei Itō smiled at him indifferently, then lowered his head and continued to adjust the system parameters of the Sky Overlord.
"With your skill, if you encounter land, can you win with an MS?" Mu put his hands on the edge of the cockpit of the Sky Overlord he was sitting in. He looked at Sei Itō and asked curiously.
"If there's a single soldier with a small beam sword, probably." Sei Itō's hands that were modifying the basic settings paused and said.
"In that case, you're equivalent to a small MS? I suddenly feel that you're more of a monster than Kira, "Mu exclaimed.
"What's so strange about that? There are countless capable people on Earth. I know of a few who can do this. You'll be surprised when I can play with Gundams in space," Sei Itō curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"You're saying that there are many people like you on Earth who can fight Gundams alone as long as they have the right equipment?" Mu and Koro Jie looked at each other and said in surprise.
"Yes, let's not talk about other countries. Just look at the East Asia Alliance. There are many people with this skill. After all, that was the place where the sects used to travel," Sei Itō explained.
"Sects?" As a European and a person from the CE era, he had no understanding of the East before the AD era. He muttered to himself with a face full of doubt.
"It's an organization that passes down Kung Fu. If you want to describe it, it's probably similar to some small multi-functional departments of the government," Sei Itō explained.
"Kung Fu?" Koro Jie Madoc said thoughtfully, "Is it the kind of thing that often looks good in old movies?"
"Uh … What you see is a product of the movies. Real Kung Fu is not like that. It's like the combat skills in the military. It's a killing technique. Compared to the combat skills in the military, it's much more complicated and dangerous," Sei Itō explained to Koro Jie Madoc in surprise.
After that, Mu, who had figured out new terms such as Kung Fu and sects, chatted with Sei Itō. Then, like Sei Itō, he began to adjust the various system data of the Sky Overlord. The adjustment took an entire night. By the time the two of them were done adjusting the data, it was already past ten o 'clock in the morning on February 15th.
"Phew, I've finally finished a part of it. I'll do the rest when I have time at night." After pressing the last button, Sei Itō lifted the keyboard and put it aside. He turned off the system, got up, and jumped out of the cockpit. He looked up at Mu who was still busy and said, "I'm going back to sleep."
"Mhmm, you go first. I'll probably wait for a while," Mu said without looking up.
"Okay, see you later." Sei Itō turned around and left the garage. He returned to his own bedroom and fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes.
When Sei Itō woke up again, it was already night time. After a simple shower, Sei Itō went straight to the bridge after dinner and saw Bucky Lulu who was on duty.
"Hey, Natale, how was your rest?" Sei Itō walked to Bucky Lulu's side, put his left elbow on her shoulder, and asked with a smile.
"Very good." Bucky Lulu spat out the straw in her mouth, moved her body slightly, and said softly.
"Don't be so cold." Sei Itō turned his head and looked at Bucky Lulu's side face, pretending to be depressed.
Just when Bucky Lulu was about to speak, a rapid "beep beep beep" suddenly sounded in the bridge. Everyone who was familiar with this sound immediately looked at Katz who was being monitored by the radar. But whether it was because he was too nervous or not familiar with the business, Katz, who was being watched by everyone, looked at the radar screen in front of him with a bewildered expression. He didn't know where to start.
Fortunately, there was another radar officer in the bridge. He hurriedly reported. "The ship has been locked on by a laser. It is determined to lock on to the enemy!"
As soon as his words fell, a rapid alarm immediately sounded in Archangel, waking up the sleeping combatants from their dreams and quickly rushing to their respective posts.
"I just woke up and I have to go to war, how annoying." Sei Itō curled his lips, turned around, ran out of the bridge room, and quickly rushed to the garage. If there was no gravity in the universe, Sei Itō's speed might be affected, but there was no such problem on Earth, so it didn't take long for Sei Itō to run to the garage.
"How is it? Can we attack? " After rushing to Sei Itō in the garage, he found Kejermadok who was nervously adjusting the data of the Sky Overlord and asked.
"No, the data of the body has not been adjusted yet. It is too dangerous to take off now." Kejermadok shook his head and said, "And it is too late to load the ammunition."
