Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 68 Ino’s tangle

The Archangel, which successfully escaped by taking advantage of Artemis's chaos, sailed through the dark universe.

But facing the result of escaping capture, the gloom on Captain Malu's face still remained.

Because Garcia wanted to study and analyze the reasons for the battleship and mobile suit, they did not replenish the Archangel immediately.

And because of Artemis, they even wasted some more supplies.

This makes it difficult to rely on the existing supplies of Archangel to reach the moon.

But if they don't go to the moon, they really can't find anywhere else to go.

Earth sounds like a good choice, but the problem is that the current situation on Earth is extremely chaotic.

Artemis's experience also made them clearly aware of how delicious they were in the eyes of people other than the Atlantic Federation.

"Seriously, what's going on now? Is it really miserable?"

M. La Flag looked at the gloom on Captain Malu's face that was so intense that it was almost impossible to get rid of it and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

"In terms of food, there is indeed emergency food available...the problem is ammunition and water sources."

"Water..."

"Anyway, let's think of a plan first. We need to save water as much as possible... and please ask the refugees to help us."

Malu replied somewhat frustrated.

In this case, they can only reach the moon as soon as possible.

A simulation diagram of the planned navigation path also popped up on the screen at this time.

"Is this the limit? Can't you really find a more decent route?"

Natal Baqilulu was a little unwilling.

We can still rely on saving water resources, but the problem is ammunition. We can't just pray that ZAFT won't catch up.

"It's impossible. If the orbit gets closer to the earth, it will run into the gravel belt."

"It would be much faster if we could get through the gravel strip."

Ma Liu smiled bitterly and encouraged herself.

Neumann responded with a wry smile: "If we rush over at this speed, we might become part of the gravel before we get past?"

The rubble belt refers to the drifting area of ​​space debris that is attracted to the Earth.

After human beings enter the field of space, they always throw abandoned artificial satellites or various wastes from space development into space.

Those space wastes float at a certain distance under the gravitational pull of the earth. It is like a cemetery of garbage.

Unintentionally, Mu, who was staring at the screen, muttered to himself.

"Wait a minute, the gravel belt..."

He seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Ma Liu's upright face with a proud smile and said, "——Maybe I am really a man who can make the impossible possible?"

"Eh?"

Ma Liu looked confused, wondering what happened to this usually unobtrusive guy suddenly.

Inside the restaurant.

Ino felt an indescribable feeling as he looked at the emergency food on the plate while eating.

The smell and appearance after heating are so familiar that they are almost too familiar.

In his memory, he had eaten this thing more than once, and his tongue automatically gave out the taste of this food without even tasting it.

Of course, this is the memory of the predecessor, and this thing does not exist in the memory of my own personality.

With a sense of novelty and exploration, Ino stuffed a spoon full of emergency food into his mouth and closed his eyes silently.

That's right, this is the taste and feeling.

At this moment, Ino actually had the illusion of peace of mind.

"An Xin... I'm so damn An Xin——"

Feeling his own state of mind, Ino couldn't help but complain to himself.

Ino still feels headache and irritable when talking about this matter.

I now clearly know that I am a time traveler. After all, those memories cannot be false.

But even if he knows and accepts this fact, his psychology and thinking still undergo some uncontrollable distortions due to the three memories of his predecessor.

To put it bluntly, perception has changed.

Everything has changed.

In the past, I was just a time-traveler who arrived by chance, a time-traveler who didn't want to take too many actions in this world.

For me, the good or bad of this world has little to do with me.

Just like a detached bystander, he has no sense of belonging to this world. The so-called war between adjusters and natural people is just like that to him.

At best, it feels cruel on a humanitarian basis.

But now - in order to achieve personality shaping and memory control, the memories and thoughts instilled in the predecessor are of the most extreme kind.

But now, thanks to the deaths of three personalities, these three extreme mentalities are mixedly affecting the time-traveling personality that does not have much sense of belonging to this world.

Recalling the resurrected memory of his predecessor, Ino's eyes flashed with indifference and entanglement. His palms clenched unconsciously, and the straight spoon changed its shape under the pressure.

Damn the adjuster, damn the natural man, damn everything—

"What on earth should I do now—"

Ino looked at the distorted spoon in his hand and felt irritable.

In fact, he still has a rough solution to this problem in his mind, and that is-acceptance.

Accept everything calmly, accept the influence of memory, and completely integrate your own personality with the memory and cognition of your predecessor.

Then choose the path you want based on your changed heart and cognition.

But this choice made Ino a little scared.

Because he wasn't sure what he would become after accepting all this.

Your past flows in your blood, and your future is engraved in your mind. Once your cognition is distorted and changed, you can almost be said to be a completely different person.

If he becomes Cruze, the world will be completely ruined.

What if I killed Lux, Kira and the others with one shot?

I can’t say that this will definitely achieve the goal of destroying the world, but there is no problem at all in letting an additional [-] to [-] billion people die in this world.

What's even more terrifying is that he himself doesn't have much objection to this idea, but instead finds it interesting...

"What am I thinking-"

Ino quickly shook this thought away.

As a young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, it is best not to do this kind of thing.

"Kira!"

Just when Ino was struggling and irritable, Mirialia's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It's hard work!"

"Come and sit here."

Thor and Mirialia, who had already started, smiled at Kira.

Looking at Kira's face, Sai quietly poked Fleur, who looked apologetically.

Faced with Sai's actions, Fleur looked over subconsciously.

Sai didn't speak, just winked in Kira's direction.

There was a trace of confusion in Fleur's eyes.

Seeing that Fleur still didn't move, Sai had no choice but to poke the other person again: "Some things cannot be avoided, and didn't we agree on it?"

After listening to Sai's words, Fleur pursed her lips and suddenly stood up from the chair.

Kira, who was just about to sit down, was startled and quickly stood up.

"Uh... Well, Kira, I was really sorry when I was there before! I, I shouldn't have said that that day!" Fleur mustered up the courage to say to Kira.

"Eh? What...what?"

Suddenly faced with Fleur's apology, Kira's heart was so frightened that her thoughts stopped.

Thor on the side pouted and said: "...Well, we are in Artemis."

Thor's words suddenly reminded Kira of what happened at that time, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

——Because of his adjuster.

——The adjuster who defected...

Commander Garcia's words and Fleur's words made Kira feel heavy.

But looking at Fleur's face, as well as the faces of Sai and others, Kira forced a smile and replied: "Forget it, it's okay, I don't care - after all, that's the truth."

When he said this, Fleur's expression immediately seemed to be relieved and she quickly said: "...Thank you so much."

After saying that, Fleur quickly looked at Sai next to her, with a proud expression asking him to praise her.

Faced with Fleur's request for credit, Sai naturally responded and praised with a smile.

Seeing the close relationship between the two of them, Kira's expression became melancholy again.

"There is no woman in my heart, so I can shoot the God of Nature. This child is still too young."

Seeing Kira's roller coaster-like reaction, Ino said it was wonderful, and even the irritability from before was gone.

Sure enough, no matter what personality you are, there is an irresistible temptation to watch the excitement.

But after Kira was with Lux, the colorful cannon seemed to be aiming accurately——

Lux also has BUF bonus?
