The spacious Gnacou was completely silent.
Olga, who was wearing a pure black kimono, silently stood beside Gao Da Babatos' cockpit. She looked at the three suns and moons who had been unconscious since the simulation battle and still showed no signs of waking up.
In this silence, no one knew what Olga was thinking.
Perhaps, she was looking at the three suns and moons who were in a deep sleep.
Or perhaps, she was blaming herself.
Other than Olga herself, other people might not know what Olga was thinking.
As time gradually passed, Olga, who had reached an important moment, slowly retracted her gaze. She moved her gaze from the sleeping faces of the three suns and moons to the tunnel leading to the outside of Gnacou.
"Sorry! The three suns and moons. This time, I won't wait for you! I hope you won't blame me when you wake up! "
Today was the day Olga and Namase became sworn brothers.
Even though the simulated battle that caused the three suns and moons to fall into a coma shocked everyone, the old man and the doctors decided to observe the situation and not forcefully remove the Alaya Consciousness System that connected the three suns and moons to Barbatos for the time being.
Facing such a result, Olga had expressed that she wanted to postpone the ceremony and wait for the three suns and moons to wake up.
But Makumad rejected Olga's idea because it was better to do it sooner rather than later.
In order to prevent Olga from objecting, Makumad even promised to take care of the three suns and moons 100%.
Therefore, other than the three suns and moons who were in a deep sleep, everyone at the ceremony was the same.
Olga, who slowly walked out of Gnacou, saw the figure guarding the door.
"Yo! Looks like this outfit suits you, Olga. "
The tall Olga changed into the black kimono that symbolized the ceremony and indeed looked like it.
"Don't laugh at me! Your Excellency Ray Mingkai. You look more like one in this dress than I do! "
Olga heard Ray Mingkai praise her outfit and couldn't help but shake her head. Instead, she praised Ray Mingkai's outfit.
"Is that so? Sorry! Looks like I'm the only one wearing a suit in this ceremony! "
"No! The ceremony doesn't have a special requirement for the ceremony. You don't have to worry about it. "
Olga looked at Lei Mingkai's well-ironed black suit and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing. He then casually changed the topic.
"Your Excellency. I didn't mean anything else. However, why did he have to use that final attack back then? It was clear that Miyuki and Babatos had already lost. "
Olga was referring to the moment when the Freedom Gundam took advantage of the moment when Barbatos was struggling to get up and threw a punch at Barbatos' cockpit.
Ray Mingkai wasn't surprised by Olga's question.
On the contrary, Ray Mingkai was waiting for Olga to ask this question.
What he didn't expect was that Olga was able to hold back the doubts in his heart. He only asked this question when the ceremony was about to begin.
Ray Mingkai didn't answer Olga's question immediately. Instead, he looked left and right. After making sure that there was only him and Olga here, he looked at Olga with a serious expression.
"Olga. How much do you know about the Alaya Consciousness system? "
"Eh?"
Olga paused for a moment.
He thought that Ray Mingkai would have thousands of explanations, but he didn't expect Ray Mingkai to lead the topic to the Alaya Consciousness system.
"Nanomachines that enhance human space sensing?! A product left over from the old era? "
For a moment, Olga, who didn't understand why Ray Mingkai would ask this question, hesitated for a moment, then gave the answer that everyone knew.
"That's right! The Alaya Consciousness system is an ancient technology born during the sacrificial war era. The reason for its birth may have been lost in history. But the most common explanation in the world is that this technology was developed and created under the premise of fully activating and utilizing the potential of MS. "
Ray Mingkai talked about the history of the Alaya Consciousness system. Some of this history was known by Olga, but some Olga didn't know.
"But, through the Alaya Consciousness system, humans obtained Gao Da's name, the terrifying power of the 72 Demons. From that moment onwards, the curse followed the pilots who survived the implantation of the Alaya Consciousness system and became the pilots of the 72 Demons."
Ray Mingkai slowly exhaled, looking at Olga who was sometimes confused, sometimes understanding.
"The power displayed by the legendary 72 Demon Gods is so terrifying! But with the release of this power, the pilots who piloted the 72 Demons would be connected to the Alaya Consciousness system and gradually assimilated with the 72 Demons … "
Speaking until here, Ray Mingkai shook his head and turned his head to look at the dome of Jupiter.
"No. Or, that's not assimilation. It should be said that … using sacrifice can be slightly more accurate to describe the situation that the pilots who further released the power of the 72 Demons will face. "
"Sacrifice?!"
Olga was shocked, subconsciously thinking of the current situation of the three suns and moons.
His sleeping appearance made him look like a human whose soul had been seized by something.
"Don't worry! Right now, the three suns and moons are just unconscious. A normal coma. This, I can guarantee. "
Ray Mingkai's words made Olga relieved, but then Olga's heart clenched.
"Wait! Your Excellency. Could it be … the attack that you piloted Gao Da was to stop the three suns and moons' … sacrifice? "
In the end, Olga couldn't believe the conclusion that she came up with.
"En, it's very possible."
Ray Mingkai nodded, then revealed a trace of a self-mocking smile.
"This might be an accident. I didn't think that the three suns and moons' desire to win was so strong! So strong that even if it was a simulated battle, they would do anything to win. "
Ray Mingkai's gaze moved away from the dome and landed on Olga's face.
"Olga, I heard about the things that happened when you were young. Perhaps, the reason why the three suns and moons have such a strong desire to win is because of you. "
"Me?"
In an instant, Olga's mind recalled the time when they were young. In order to avoid being bullied by others, the young three suns and moons actually shot an evil person to death in front of Olga. After that, the three suns and moons who were holding the smoking gun with trembling hands looked at Olga calmly and asked that question.
Probably, this is the root of everything!
These memories continuously flashed in Olga's mind, causing her to lower her head and sigh helplessly and vexedly.
"This bastard! The three suns and moons! It was obviously just a simulated battle!! "
"Pa!"
When the straight suit appeared in front of Olga, Ray Mingkai's hand patted Olga's shoulder.
"If there's a chance, talk to the three suns and moons! If the three suns and moons continue like this, sooner or later, they will become Barbatos' food. "
"Food … is it?"
Olga's gaze became sharp, as if she was thinking about something.
"Yes. Perhaps, at the very beginning, the three suns and moons will lose an eye, then his left hand, left leg, and even half of his body will become unconscious, until his soul completely falls into Barbatos's Alaya consciousness system. "
This, was not Ray Mingkai's alarmist words.
If, at the end, the three suns and moons will most likely end up in a vegetative state.
Olga clenched her teeth and finally took a deep breath.
"I know! Your Excellency Ray Mingkai. Now, I will go and complete the ceremony, then wait for the three suns and moons to wake up, then talk to him. "
"Ok!"
Before Olga could take a few steps, Ray Mingkai's voice sounded again.
"If, you have a result with the three suns and moons, you can tell me. I probably have some ideas. "
Olga's footsteps paused, then she nodded slightly.
"I know! Thank you very much! Your Excellency Ray Mingkai! "
The conversation before the ceremony ended just like that.
Until the start of the ceremony, Ray Mingkai and Olga did not talk about the three suns and moons again.
The two of them acted as if this conversation had never happened, and carried out their activities according to the schedule of the ceremony as usual.
"Miss Lacus, this dress suits you very well!"
The moment Ray Mingkai stepped into the ceremony venue, he heard exclamations from the side.
In the blink of an eye, he saw a group of women surrounding Lacus, praising her, who had changed into a black dress and had her pink hair tied into a high ponytail with a white ribbon.
Although Ray Mingkai was a distance away from the women, Ray Mingkai's sharp eyes could still see that the black dress Lacus was wearing at the end of SEED-D, when she returned to the PLANT Council.
Needless to say, Lacus's outfit did indeed surprise Ray Mingkai.
Disregarding everything else, just Lacus standing there was already the focus of everyone's attention.
Even Gudelia, who had changed into an off-shoulder black dress and tied up her blonde hair, paled in comparison.
As for the other women, there was no need to talk about them.
After all, the ladies of Tubbins wore a black robe on top of their uniforms to show their solemnity.
Lux and Gudelia were probably the only ones who had changed into formal attire.
"How enviable! Your Excellency Ray Mingkai! Just by standing there, Miss Lacus gives people the illusion that a noble princess has appeared in front of them. "
A steady voice with a hint of envy came from behind Ray Mingkai.
It was Makumad.
"Is that so? If Lacus were to hear such an evaluation, she would probably be unhappy! "
Ray Mingkai turned around and looked at Makumad, who had been standing there since who knew when.
"Oh? Is that so? What about you? You must know that the noble and beautiful princess has never lacked a Knight by her side. In my eyes, you are that loyal guardian Knight. Am I right? Your Excellency Ray Mingkai. "
"Your Excellency Makumad. You must be joking! I have never thought of myself as a Knight. "
"Hehe. That's a pity! "
Makumad sighed, then waved his hand and ordered, "Let's go.
"Alright! It's getting late! Let's begin the ceremony! "
This ceremony lacked the three suns and moons, but had the participation of Ray Mingkai and Lacus.
Apart from Makumad, Ray Mingkai, and Lacus, the others might only see this ceremony as an opportunity for the Ironflower Regiment and Tubbins to join forces.
With the end of the ceremony, the Ironflower Regiment and Tubbins' mission schedule was once again brought forward.
In this increasingly busy period, the unconscious three suns and moons finally woke up.
The three suns and moons were sent to the hospital for further examination.
Babatos, who was surrounded by many trainers who were dismantling his armor and undergoing a new round of modifications, became the signal to urge the Ironflower Regiment and Tubbins to set off.
"Sigh … I'm so tired!"
Looking at the mountain-like pile of documents, Olga couldn't help but complain.
While complaining, Olga's gaze subconsciously looked at a certain person who was sitting on the sofa, leisurely looking at documents.
"No, Olga. "Olga, these are your affairs. I'm just a shareholder, I don't participate in the daily operations of the Ironflower Regiment. "
Before Olga could say anything, a certain person rejected Olga's request.
Even though Olga still hadn't said his request out loud.
"Your Excellency …"
Olga's mouth moved, but he still couldn't say a complete sentence.
A tall and sturdy figure appeared at the door.
"General! Are you here? "
Without looking, this tall and sturdy figure was Zhao Hong.
"Oh. Zhao Hong! I'm here! "
Seeing Zhao Hong's figure, Olga's eyes immediately lit up.
He knew that the reason Zhao Hong came here was definitely to look for him.
"En? Your Excellency Ray Mingkai is also here? Just in time, I have something to look for Your Excellency Ray Mingkai! General, I won't disturb you anymore! "
Unfortunately, Zhao Hong wasn't looking for Olga, but Ray Mingkai.
Looking at Ray Mingkai who got up and left the office, Olga suddenly wondered if he should find someone to help him.
These documents, for Olga, were more difficult than fighting!
Olga put aside how distressed he was.
Zhao Hong's matter made Ray Mingkai have an idea.
The reason Zhao Hong came to look for Ray Mingkai wasn't any special reason.
It was basically the same as Mitsuyuki's idea.
That was to become stronger!
This, Ray Mingkai could satisfy Zhao Hong.
However,
Looking at Zhao Hong's blazing eyes that were filled with the desire to become stronger, Ray Mingkai suddenly remembered something that would happen soon.
Something that would cause a huge change in Zhao Hong's life.
"Zhao Hong. I heard that you once had a younger brother. Is that right? "
As soon as Ray Mingkai opened his mouth, Zhao Hong was stunned.
This kind of reaction, just as Lei Mingkai had guessed, Zhao Hong really had subconsciously forgotten the existence of his beloved younger brother in the long life of selling people.
"Your … Your Excellency. What are you talking about? "
Zhao Hong's mouth trembled a few times, somewhat hesitant.
Ray Mingkai secretly sighed.
"Zhao Hong. One of the sources of funds I invested in the Ironflower Group was from the hands of the villain called "Hunter". Therefore, I have some information. Some information about the "goods" he sold over the years. "
