PLANT's capital, April City.
The atmosphere in the headquarters of the National Defense Committee, which was noisier than usual, made Aslan frown slightly.
This was the complete opposite of the slightly relaxed atmosphere from a few days ago due to the good battle situation.
"What the hell happened?"
For the past few days, Aslan had spent most of his time in the hospital, accompanied by "Lacus Klein".
For a Zaft pilot, this was obviously out of line.
But the reason why Aslan could do this was because of his father, who was also the Chairman of the National Defense Committee, Patrick Sala.
Now that "Lacus'" condition had improved, Aslan had the time to come to the headquarters of the National Defense Committee to see the current situation. But in the end, it was like this.
"Oh, it's been a long time! Aslan, how have you been recently? "
Just as Aslan was puzzled by what he saw, a familiar, magnetic voice came from behind him.
"Captain Kreutzer."
Turning around, Aslan realized that Kreutzer, whom he had not seen for a long time, was standing behind him.
"Mm, you're in good spirits. Looks like your lovely fiancée's condition has improved, right? "
Kreutzer had a satisfied smile under his mask.
After patting Aslan's shoulder, he started walking towards the office of the Chairman of the National Defense Committee.
"Aslan. Do you know what happened these few days? "
Although the surroundings were noisy, Kreutzer still heard Aslan's footsteps.
"No. I don't know. "
Aslan, who was asked, showed a look of shame.
"Aslan. Don't worry about these things. To a man, family is equally important. Also, it's not your turn yet. "
At this moment, Kreutzer seemed to have transformed into a life mentor, comforting Aslan.
Aslan, who was following behind Kreutzer, looked at Kreutzer's back and replied softly.
"Yes! I know! Captain Kreutzer. "
"Mm. That's good. Speaking of which, the Chairman has been very worried about you and Miss Lacus these few days. Now it seems that the Chairman should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. "
After the two of them stepped onto the escalator, Kreutzer said something that seemed unintentional, but made Aslan tense up.
"Captain Kreutzer. You're saying? "
"Yes. The man known as the "Desert Tiger", Andy Butterfield, was confirmed dead a few days ago. Our Zaft base at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean has fallen. "
"Then, then Victoria Airport …"
"Yes. The Chairman is worried that the death of that man will lead to the recapture of Victoria Airport by the Earth Alliance. "
The two of them, one at the front and one at the back, would exchange their thoughts on the current situation from time to time. But in reality, most of the time, it was Kreutzer who was speaking, and Aslan who was listening.
The conversation only stopped when the two of them arrived at the National Defense Chairman's Office.
"Go in! Aslan. He believed that the Chairman had been waiting for some time. My matter isn't too urgent! "
What made Aslan feel strange was that Kreutzer was supposed to be the first to enter, but instead, Aslan was the first to enter the office.
"Aslan, you've come. Take a seat first! "
Entering the office, the first person Aslan saw was Patrick Sarah, who was listening to the conversation on the phone.
The latter gestured for Aslan to take a seat and wait for a while, then quickly and softly instructed the person on the other end of the phone. Only then did he put down the phone, closed his eyes, and silently thought about something.
Fortunately, Patrick didn't make Aslan wait for too long.
In less than five minutes, Patrick, who had closed his eyes and was deep in thought, opened his eyes again. The expression on his face had eased slightly.
"Aslan. How's Lux's condition? "
Aslan immediately stood up and saluted Patrick.
"Yes. Lux's condition has improved. The doctor also said that she can be discharged in the next two days. "
"Yes. Not bad. Aslan, it's just a gathering at Sarah's house now. There's no need to be so serious. "
Aslan was slightly taken aback by Patrick's words, but he still nodded silently.
"Yes! Father. "
Patrick waved his hand and gestured for Aslan to sit down again. Then, he also left the office desk and sat on the sofa opposite Aslan, looking at him face to face.
Patrick's scrutinizing gaze made Aslan subconsciously avoid it, not daring to look directly at Patrick.
"Aslan. How long has it been since that incident? "
It was a scar.
A scar that was placed in front of Sarah and his father, unavoidable, and even affected them until now.
"A year. Father. Mother has left us for a year. "
Every time he mentioned his mother, who had died tragically under the joint attack of the Earth, Aslan's emotions would fall to the freezing point.
"Yes! A year. I've been home a few times recently, and I feel that the house is much quieter. Aslan, it's time for you to think about this family. "
"Eh?"
Immersed in the sadness of his mother's death, Aslan couldn't react for a moment.
"You're really too slow! Aslan. You lucky brat! "
In Patrick's eyes, Aslan had never satisfied him.
On the contrary, his best friend who had always held the opposite ideals had a daughter who could turn around in time and see the world clearly.
"Slow?"
Aslan really couldn't understand.
Even if the anger in Patrick's eyes grew stronger, Aslan still couldn't figure out what his father was referring to.
"Hmph! Forget it. You go back first! Let Kreutzer in. "
Aslan, who was confused, was finally driven out by Patrick, who hated him for not living up to his expectations.
But after all, they were still father and son. The moment Aslan stepped out of the office, Patrick's words floated from afar.
"Siena just called, hoping that Lux will stay at our house for a while. You, go back and prepare! "
Aslan froze on the spot, but he didn't have the courage to turn back to the office and ask his father.
"Congratulations! Aslan! "
And Kreutzer, who was waiting by the door, naturally heard this. After giving his blessing to Aslan, he walked into Patrick's office, leaving Aslan standing alone at the door.
"Lucky guy! Enjoy this time to the fullest! "
Looking back at the Earth.
In the scorching desert, a group of people were bidding farewell to each other.
"Guy, can't you let me continue to study for a while?"
After receiving the commission reward, Law, who was informed by the professor of the recycling house to go to Aub to pick up the new mothership, looked at the white Baku in front of him reluctantly.
During this period of time, Law had encountered a tough nut to crack.
No matter how hard he racked his brain, he still couldn't find the reason why the white Baku was reactivated.
The reality made Law both discouraged and helpless.
"If this continues, I'm afraid we will miss the time to go to Scandinavia."
The "death" of the Desert Tiger was undoubtedly a trigger in this area, and even the Victoria Airport thousands of miles away. The two sides that haven't reacted yet will quickly react with the passage of time. At that time, this area will probably once again fall into the battle between the two sides.
Ray Mingkai rejected Law's unwillingness to give up while looking at Seb, who was guarding the children and saying goodbye to Lux.
As soon as their eyes met, Ray Mingkai already knew that Seb was already prepared for the possible future.
Seb didn't say anything, he just nodded silently as a farewell to Ray Mingkai.
"Hey! Kay. One more time, one last time! Is that okay? "
Seeing that Lei Mingkai had made up his mind, Law could only beg again for one last chance.
"Law. Let's make it clear in advance! This is the last time. If we delay any longer, it won't be as easy as it is now to cross the desert with this Baku. "
"Okay! I'll be right there! "
As soon as he got Lei Mingkai's permission, Roll immediately jumped up the ladder into the cockpit of the white Baku and began another round of inspection with familiarity, even though this inspection was destined to be fruitless.
"This kid really doesn't give up!"
The White Cat Zero's nagging also ran into the white Baku's cockpit and sounded in Ray Mingkai's mind.
"Let him be! Is the Baku ready? Our journey this time is a bit far. "
"Well, we can leave at any time. After all, this kid has some skills, it saves me a lot of effort. "
"That's good."
After communicating with the White Cat Zero about the current state of the white Baku, Ray Mingkai felt that it was about time and walked up to Lux, who was reluctant to part with the children.
"Time's up! Audrey, let's go! "
"Okay!"
Knowing that it was not early, Lux nodded and gave a big hug to a little girl. After gently exhorting a few words, she walked with Ray Mingkai to the foot of the white Baku and waited for Law's last inspection to end.
"Kai, Audrey. If you have time, can you go to Audrey? It's my home, I'll treat you then. "
Seeing Ray Mingkai and Lux bid farewell to everyone from afar, Carrie couldn't help but run over and take the initiative to invite them.
"Hmm?"
Lei Mingkai and Lacus looked at each other in surprise, and the latter asked, "What's the matter?
"Carrie, aren't you from here?"
"No! I just happened to be here. In fact, my home is in Audrey. "
When Lux asked about her home, Carrie stammered a few times, then she simply finished in one breath, waved her hand, turned around, and ran away.
"Kai, what's wrong with Carrie?"
"Maybe she ran away from home!"
Ray Mingkai sighed, then shook his head, turned to the white Baku's cockpit and shouted:
"Law! Is it done? We're leaving! "
"Oh oh! Done! "
Law stuck his head out from the cockpit and sighed dejectedly.
"Forget it! Little Hachi, let's go! It seems that we can't find out the secret of this Baku. "
"That's just because they don't want to tell you! Law. "
Hearing this, Law shrugged his shoulders and didn't care much.
The reward for coming to the desert was enough for them to spend some time on Earth.
"Kai. If you want to go along the coastline of the Mediterranean all the way to Scandinavia, you might meet someone. Say hello to him for me. "
Law and Ray Mingkai, who jumped down from the cockpit, bumped their fists, and Law seemed to suddenly remember something.
"A person? Who? "
Ray Mingkai thought about it and wondered if it was another Heretic Gao Da's pilot.
"Mhmm. His name is Cong Yunqiao, the leader of the mercenary group Giant Snake's Tail. According to the mission mentioned when I parted with him last time, Cong Yunqiao should be working with the Eurasian Federation now. "
As he spoke, Law suddenly clapped his hands.
"Right! His body is the Heretic Gao Da. But his body is painted blue, the opposite of my Red Heretic. It's easy to be human. At that time, if you meet him, just say that Luo said hello to him. "
He didn't expect that Ray Mingkai, who was about to leave the desert and go to Scandinavia, would have the opportunity to encounter the Giant Snake's Tail.
Judging from the current situation, if he drove the White Baku across the Eurasian Federation, it was likely that he would be targeted by the Giant Snake's Tail who worked for the Earth most of the time.
Thinking of this, Ray Mingkai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At that time, how could he say hello to Cong Yunqiao?
It's really difficult!
Ray Mingkai sighed in his heart, but he still reached out and patted Law on the shoulder.
"Law. If we meet again, we might as well go for a drink. In the name of a friend. "
"Friend?"
Law seemed a little surprised.
"Mhmm. Friend. But it depends on whether we have this fate in the future? "
After that, Ray Mingkai picked up Lacus, pulled the leash hanging from the top of the cockpit, and slowly boarded the White Baku.
As the cockpit closed, the hot desert air that they had gotten used to was suddenly isolated by the thick cabin door. Then, the air conditioner from the air conditioner was turned on, quickly lowering the temperature of the cockpit to a suitable level.
"Lacus. Is there anything else you want to say? "
Before driving the White Baku away, Ray Mingkai asked.
"No. What needed to be said had already been said. Let's go! Kai, we have wasted too much time. The departure of Captain Butterfield and the others will probably trigger a new round of battles. "
During this time, Lacus thought a lot and saw a lot of things. The departure of Butterfield and the others made a rare peace in this area.
But how long can this peace last?
Lacus didn't know that as long as Victoria Airport was still there, this area would inevitably fall into a new round of battles.
Therefore, there was not enough time.
"Then, let's go! Baku, start, full speed ahead! "
