Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 69 Kennaf’s speculation
There are countless turquoise islands on the sea that shines with the light reflected from sunglasses.

Beyond the self-repairing glass exuding silver smoke lies a vast ocean of space that cannot tolerate any life.

Tiny human beings have created this floating island-like life in this vast ocean. This unique miracle of mankind makes the PLANT colonial satellite appear great and beautiful.

Aslan and Cruze were taking the elevator from the spacecraft docking station installed at the fulcrum of PLANT, and slowly descended along the huge 60-kilometer-long axis tower.

Cruzer sat in his seat reading the data on the computer, while Aslan stood and looked down at the beautiful scenery under his feet.

[During the memorial ceremony for the first anniversary of Junius [-] held yesterday, the Speaker of the Supreme Council, Klein, issued a statement...]

The anchor's voice and the name inside made Aslan and Cruze subconsciously move their eyes.

In the picture, a man in his 40s with outstanding temperament is standing in front of the podium, telling the sorrow and nostalgia caused by the war in a very contagious tone.

And diagonally behind the man, a girl stood respectfully.

Just like some people are born to be the protagonist, the girl can still attract people's attention even if she does not occupy the center of the video.

There is nothing sharp or harsh about her appearance or figure.

Her wavy long hair was dyed a soft bright red, and her long pink hair set off her snow-white skin and fell down lightly.

Her big watery eyes have a dreamy look in them, and with her plump cheeks, she always seems to be smiling.

Dressed in formal attire, Lux Klein has a radiance and presence that cannot be ignored.

"——You seem to have not seen your fiancée for a long time."

After Cruze's words fell, Aslan was shocked to realize that he was staring at the girl intently.

Aslan, who felt that this was inappropriate, quickly averted his gaze.

Although this was something that everyone in PLANT knew, Aslan still felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Because the people around them had already recognized the two of them as an unmarried couple, this completely arranged and non-rebuttable thing made Aslan feel a complicated sense of resistance in his heart.

Of course, as far as Aslan is concerned, he doesn't hate Lux——

No, it’s not so much that I don’t hate Lux, but that I think Lux is lovable and makes me want to cherish her.

I just talked about getting married one day...
Say something disrespectful.

Perhaps it was the rebellious stage of the young man, or perhaps it was because both parties wanted to get closer but were mixed with some impurities, which prevented him from truly accepting this fact calmly.

"I heard that she also served as the representative of the memorial group this time, which is really amazing."

Cruze didn't seem to notice Aslan's discomfort, and said with a smile: "——You have inherited the blood of Chief Sarah and Speaker Klein, and your next generation will definitely be great too. Let’s show off, I’m really looking forward to it.”

"Uh...thank you."

Faced with this somewhat hollow compliment, Aslan could only bow dully.

But he didn't know if it was his own imagination, but he always felt that when Captain Cruze said this again, his eyes hidden under the mask were a little strange.

at the same time.

Deep in the distant starry sky.

A modified Earth United Nelson-class battleship sailed silently in the starry sky.

Lux's singing voice slowly came out through the speakers on both sides.

Wearing a modified Earth United military uniform, Kenav Luchini stacked his legs in front of the instrument console and chewed candy unconsciously in his mouth.

This is his habit when thinking about problems. Sugar can make his thoughts flow smoothly.

beep-

The door behind him slowly opened.

The slightly scantily clad heroine walked in slowly, casually found a seat and sat down, then picked up some cosmetics and started playing with her face.

click!
Kennaff bit the candy in his mouth, making a crisp crashing sound.

"If you really can't bear it, you can regret it."

The girl seemed to be aware of Kennaf's concerns and sat aside and said without looking back.

"She and I have never even met face to face, so there is nothing to be reluctant to part with."

Kennav said and swallowed the candy in his mouth directly: "It's just a pity that I will never hear her new songs again." "Then what were you thinking and hesitating here just now?"

After hearing this, the girl put down the makeup mirror in her hand and asked.

"I always feel like I'm being used as a weapon."

Kennaff replied somewhat unhappily.

Adhering to the belief that information dominates the world, manipulating the world with one's own information, and getting pleasure from the process - this is Kennaf's concept of action and the meaning of existence as an intelligence dealer.

Therefore, he likes to travel among various forces, sell the same information repeatedly, and use the information to manipulate the world and the direction of certain things according to his own imagination.

But this time—

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt as if he was being used as a weapon.

"I think you are simply sick."

Alyssa really couldn't understand Kennaff's brain circuit.

Who in this world is not taking advantage of each other?

The only difference is whether the benefits obtained by both parties after using it meet their expectations.

"Who knows, but I'm really curious, who gave me this information, and what is its significance?"

Kennaf looked at the route map in the radar instrument and couldn't help but be confused.

He unconsciously took out a new candy with his right hand and threw it into his mouth.

The news that the PLANT Memorial Corps will go to the Junius wreckage to mourn their fallen compatriots is no secret.

Basically everyone in PLANT knows something about it.

The problem is that Lux Klein will also be accompanying him, as well as the specific departure time and specific route of the Silver Wind battleship to the wreckage——

These things are not accessible to ordinary people.

It can be inferred from this that the person who gave him the information must have a high status in PLANT.

What is the other party's purpose?
During this special time period, the conflict between the Earth United and PLANT has already been completely intensified.

As the only daughter of the Speaker of the Supreme Council, the singer with a high reputation among the people in PLANT went to Junius with almost no armed force.

With the style of the Blue Cosmos group of people, it was impossible to turn a blind eye to this.

Don't say that war is a matter for soldiers and does not harm civilians.

Civilians who take up arms are soldiers. When the war reaches this point, no one cares whether you are a soldier or not.

Moreover, Lux Klein is Siegel's only daughter, and her identity means that she cannot be a civilian.

Want Lux to die?

What will be the consequences of Lux's death - provoking the people's war sentiments and intensifying the war conflicts between adjusters and natural people?

"The Sara faction... doesn't look like them either."

Kennaf thought of the people from the Sara faction, but the problem was that the people from the Sara faction would not do such a thing.

After all, Aslan Sara and Lux ​​Klein are an unmarried couple.

No matter how many differences there are among the upper-level factions, for the sake of the stability of PLANT, both parties will tacitly promote the marriage contract between Aslan and Lux.

The so-called factional struggle in PLANT is different from the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation. The factional struggle in PLANT is based on ensuring the interests of PLANT as the first premise.

Senior people know better than anyone else the truth behind the loss of lips and teeth.

The seemingly stupid actions made by some senior executives are actually just compromises that have to be made based on consideration of the existing environment and factors.

But if it weren’t for Sara’s faction——

"Tsk, there seems to be a dangerous person with some serious ideas inside PLANT——"

Kennaf suddenly became curious about the future development of this war.

If things can really get messy like this, then there seems to be no reason why I can't go in and play with my hands.
