Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 43 Dialogue
"...He can still sleep in this situation. He is really capable."

"He's tired, Kira has really worked hard too."

When Mirialia said this, Kaz, who was standing next to him, laughed softly, but this was not a happy laugh: "Haha, thank you for your hard work... For Kira, such a Isn’t this just a small problem that can be solved with a little hard work?”

"Kaz, what exactly do you want to say?"

Thor heard something wrong in Kaz's tone and looked over with reproach in his eyes.

"Nothing...but, didn't they say that Kira rewritten the operating system of that machine? But have you ever thought about when he changed it?" Kaz said, looking at Kira who was sleeping against the wall.

"When, of course... uh..."

Thor and others couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Kira must have never been exposed to that kind of MS, and they all knew this.

After all, the officer said when we were on the colonial satellite, this is the latest mobile suit.

So if there was anything about rewriting the system, it must have been that he started changing it right after he got into the mobile suit and the battle started.

but--

Except for Fleur, everyone else saw the battle.

Strike Gundam's movements suddenly become extremely flexible during the battle.

And the time span in between...

So Kira made changes in such a short period of time while fighting Keen——

Everyone who got this guess couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

They had long known that Kira was an adjuster, which is why Professor Garten relied so much on his ability and always asked him to do a lot of difficult things.

But they never thought or cared that Kira's ability was so overwhelming.

"...That's how they are. They can accomplish such difficult things with just a little hard work, and ZAFT is full of guys like that."

Kaz's voice sounded a little depressed: "...How can the Earth Army win against that kind of person?"

In fact, there is one sentence that Kaz hasn't said yet, that is, how can a natural person like himself defeat adjusters like Kira and the others?
Sai and others cautiously turned their attention to Kira's sleeping face. He looked innocent while sleeping.

His face was childish, just like a 16-year-old boy like himself.

Everyone used to think that he just had a good mind, was a little out of line in his work, but had an easy-going personality.

But he never realized that there was such a decisive gap between him and natural people like himself.

Everyone who knew this reality for the first time felt inexplicably heavy and complicated.

Only Fleur looked confused, wondering why they were so depressed all of a sudden.

"Kira Yamato!"

At this moment, the figures of Ma Liu and Mu appeared at the door of the room.

Thor, who heard the noise, hurriedly pushed Kira awake.

After Kira, who was still sleepy, saw the person clearly, he quickly rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed and floated over.

a while.

"I reject!"

After hearing Maru explain her purpose in a stiff tone, Kira suddenly woke up.

Kira's angry voice attracted the attention of Thor and others.

"Why do you have to drive me? You may be right. There is war around us, and that is also reality. But we chose neutral Heliopolis just because we hate war! Please don't involve us again. There’s a war!”

Kira doesn't want to fight, and he doesn't like fighting, or his character prefers peace and tranquility.

Malu, who was ready to be a villain just now, was immediately at a loss. After all, she had never been a harsh villain.

Looking at Ma Liu's appearance, Mu took over the topic and said, "But only you can operate that thing now, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"What do you mean you can't help it! I'm neither a soldier nor anyone else! I'm just an ordinary person!"

Kira yelled back.

He is indeed an adjuster, but he is only a 16-year-old boy who has never been exposed to war.

The feeling of dying if he was not careful made him almost collapse, and he did not want to experience that feeling again. "Then if there is another battle later, you will say that you are not a soldier but an ordinary person, so you will not go, and then you will wait here to die?"

Mu understood Kira's inner fluctuations, because he also started from this.

But it is precisely because of understanding that he knows what reality is.

Kira listened to the reality told by the other party and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing Kira lowering his head and saying nothing, Mu couldn't help but reach out and put his shoulder on his shoulder and said softly: "You and I are the only ones who can protect this ship now. This is the reality we are facing now."

"but I……"

Looking down at Kira, whose voice was trembling, Mu's expression softened: "You have the power to protect everyone, don't you? In this case, then try your best to do what you can, and try your best to protect what you want to protect Don’t regret it until you lose something and want to recover it, because that kind of pain is definitely not what you want to experience.”

Kira looked at Mu's face in astonishment, and then lowered his head bitterly.

"You should think about it slowly, there is really not much time left for you to worry."

After Mu finished speaking, he patted Kira on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"Um, where are we going?"

Sai quickly stood up and asked about the destination of the battleship.

"The military fortress of the Eurasian Federation."

Mu, who was just about to leave, replied: "Of course, the premise is that everything goes well. I hope everything goes well."

Kira felt upset listening to what Mu just said.

Strength, regret——

After his eyes drifted towards the girl with long red hair, Kira, who was upset, turned around and ran out without looking back.

"Eh? What's the situation?"

Fleur looked at Kira who glanced at her and turned away and couldn't help but look at the other people: "What were you talking about just now? What happened to the person named Kira?"

"You should know that it was the MS that brought the rescue capsule you were in to this battleship."

Sai thought for a moment and said, "And the one driving that mobile suit is Kira."

"You said it was him, the young man named Kira who drove the MS?"

Frey Alstar couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this: "But why can he drive a mobile suit?"

Listening to Fleur's inquiry, Mirialia and others who knew everything could not help but frown slightly.

"Kira is actually the adjuster."

Kaz on the side told the truth directly.

"Ok!"

When Fleur heard this, her eyes turned cold, and she subconsciously looked at her boyfriend Sai beside her.

"Caz!"

Thor couldn't help but scolded.

Because they all know Kira's secret love for Fleur, and they also know Fleur's disgusting attitude towards the adjuster.

Of course, Kira herself knew this, and it was also the reason why Kira didn't dare to express her feelings even though she met Fleur first.

"What's the matter? It's now this time, do you think you can keep hiding it?"

Kaz couldn't help but retort after hearing Thor's reproachful tone.

Thor opened his mouth when he heard the words, but in the end nothing came out.

Sai noticed Fleur's gaze, lowered his head and muttered: "Kira is an adjuster, but he is not ZAFT."

"He was our best friend, our most important friend."

Mirialia also spoke up for Kira at this time.

"Is it·····"

However, after listening to several people's answers, Fleur's eyes gradually changed.
