Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 74 I'm an Honest Man

"Are you crazy?"

Outside the door, Captain Maru, who pulled Ino out of the room, couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Can you say this casually?"

Mu and Second Lieutenant Baji Lulu also looked at Ino with solemn expressions.

They had no doubts about Ino's identity as a spy for the Eurasian Federation to infiltrate ZAFT.

After all, this was determined by Artemis herself.

And Ino also helped them in Artemis.

But that's why they find it unacceptable. You said that you, a spy, don't think about how to hide yourself, but instead jumped out and became a self-destructing infantryman.

Although you have returned now, this does not mean it is safe.

The profession of spy is very disgusting. If ZAFT knew that you were a spy before, you were still a redcoat.

Zaft must not go crazy and kill you to boost morale!

"I am a more honest person."

Enoch chuckled and replied, "And that's Lux Klein. Facing such an innocent person, how could I bear to deceive her?"

"..."

The three of them felt bad looking at Ino's smile.

They know that Lux is innocent, but the question is - are you sick?
"Okay, I'm going to help carry the supplies first, and you guys should get started early."

After saying that, Ino ignored the astonished looks of the three people, turned around and left.

In fact, what he said was true. He really didn't look like he was cheating on Lux.

Of course, this is not because he likes Lux, but because the possibility of deceiving Lux is really too low.

As long as Lacus boards the Archangel, he will definitely meet Lacus.

As the successor carefully cultivated by Sigel Klein, Lux also has an IQ and thinking far beyond ordinary people.

With my current behavior, it is almost impossible to deal with lies.

It was indeed a simple lie at that time, but it was too difficult to prevent that lie from being exposed.

At least I don't have such ability yet.

Therefore, instead of thinking about how to explain that you are on the Archangel later, it is better to go straight to the point and tell the other party the truth.

As for what the consequences will be after naming your identity——

To be honest, for people like Lux and others, things like birth and identity play a very small role in their eyes.

Patrick Sala, Siegel Klein, Durandal, Captain Cruze, or the politicians on Earth... In fact, they do not have enemies and friends in the strict sense in their eyes. .

What they focus on is the contradiction between the entire regulator and natural man, and they look at the interests of the overall environment rather than individual personal interests.

Except for the unacceptable.

What they value is not your identity and abilities, but what kind of 'benefits' you can bring to them.

This is also the reason why Patrick Sala did not continue to assassinate Eno.

Because the value of killing Ino is lower than the value of keeping Ino alive.

in the room.

Lux overcame the surprise that Ino brought her and turned her head to look at the screen on the wall, which reflected Junius outside the window.

Looking at the countless debris floating around and the broken and barren land covered by the dark vacuum, Lux gently held Harrow on her lap and whispered: "Let's pray, Harrow... pray for everyone's soul. Everyone can find rest..."

There was a trace of sadness on Lux's gentle face, and her expression was so illusory that it seemed like it would melt and disappear at any time.

It was as if he had already experienced and accepted everything about the fate of the ship he was riding on and his future destiny.

A few hours later, the Archangel completed its handling operations and prepared to set sail.at the same time.

Aslan arrived at the Vesalius docked at the PLANT colonial satellite port.

"Father?"

However, Aslan saw a shocking figure here.

But soon doubts arose in his mind. He knew that his father was not a person who would make a special trip to see his son off.

"Aslan."

Patrick Sara discovered Aslan's figure and turned to him and asked: "Have you heard about Miss Lux?"

"Lux...no?"

"No news of the inspection ship arriving on Junius [-] to prepare for the memorial ceremony."

Cruze, who was standing next to Patrick Sala, stepped forward and said succinctly.

"what!?"

Aslan's eyes widened in surprise.

Needless to say, Lux must also be sitting on that ship.

Thinking of her safety, Aslan's mind immediately equated this news with his father's appearance here, but this made him think of another possibility: "Captain Cruze, Vesalius What’s your next goal?”

"Hey Aslan, you are such a heartless man."

Kruse looked at Aslan's surprised look and couldn't help but smile: "Of course we have to look for her next."

Aslan couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this: "But isn't that a civilian ship? Junius [-] is in the gravel belt. Could it be because of the magnetic field..."

"No, the captain aircraft that went to search before has lost contact."

Kruse directly interrupted Aslan's speculation.

Aslan's expression suddenly turned gloomy when he heard the news.

Although Aslan did not think that the Earth Army would go there specifically to spy on civilian ships, waiting to attack civilian ships, Keen's loss of contact was indeed an unsettling thing.

Patrick Sara said to Aslan who was deep in thought: "Miss Lux is engaged to you. This is something that the entire PLANT knows, so your Cruze team cannot slack off at this time."

After finishing what he wanted to say, Patrick Sara turned around and added another sentence before leaving: "She is an idol and a PLANT singer, so please, Cruze and Aslan .”

What Lux carries is not just an idol, but the will of the Klein faction behind it.

Of course, in addition to the above political considerations, Lux is also a child he has watched since childhood. People are not like grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless.

Watching his father's figure, Aslan murmured to himself a little irritably: "...Does this mean you want me to be like a hero and rescue her?"

The other party is an idol, a singer from PLANT, so does this mean that he wants to be a hero and save the beautiful young man? As for the purpose——

"Not necessarily."

However, Cruze laughed as if he heard Aslan's whisper.

"Eh?"

Aslan looked at Cruze's leaving back in confusion. Is there any other choice?

But I heard Captain Cruze turn his back to Aslan and reply with a smile: "——You can also choose to hold her remains and come back crying. This is also a good choice."

Listening to Captain Cruze's speech, Aslan had a look of astonishment on his face.

Whether it was Rusty's death, Ino's disappearance, the collapse of the colonial satellite, or the matter before us.

The words and deeds of his superior officer were sometimes so careless to the point of being frightening.
