Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 75 The heart-warming singer

"The supply problem has just been solved, and now here comes another pink princess..."

Mu glanced at Ma Liu and saluted her jokingly: "The seeds of trouble are really endless, Captain."

Looking at Mu who looked like it had nothing to do with him, Ma Liu shook his head helplessly.

But she didn't say much.

During this time, she also got used to Mu's style.

And although this person seems casual at ordinary times, he is very reliable when things happen.

Whether it was the battle during the colonial satellite, the front and rear attacks by Artemis from behind, or the supplies in front of him, his wit has solved many crises.

Perhaps this casual attitude was also faked by Mu, in order to relax the nervous newcomers like himself.

"What's wrong? Are you confused by my handsome appearance?"

Seeing that Ma Liu kept staring at him, Mu couldn't help but touch his chin.

After hearing this, Ma Liu denied his conjecture. Maybe this guy's nature is like this.

But now is not the time to think about these issues. Thinking of the pink princess who was under house arrest, Ma Liu said with a headache: "Do we have to take her to the Moon Headquarters like this..."

"Do we have any other reservations for parking?"

"But if she is taken to the moon headquarters like this, then she..."

"But you will receive a grand welcome!"

Mu sarcastically expressed Ma Liu's worries.

Lux Klein, the daughter of PLANT Speaker, still has a very high reputation among the people. Such a person will definitely be used as a diplomatic ace.

"But... if possible, I don't want her to be treated like that. She is a civilian and a child. She came here this time to mourn Junius..."

"In that case, what about them?"

Before Captain Malu finished speaking, he heard Natal's mocking voice behind him: "——They who serve on the ship and fight on the battlefield like this are also civilians and children."

"Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, that's because..."

"Although you have no choice, after letting Kira Yamato and others participate in the battle, you now say that you don't want to involve that girl? Don't you think this sentence is too inappropriate? Besides, she is Siegel Klein's My daughter, when she has this identity, she is no longer an ordinary civilian!"

"・・・"

Ma Liu opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment.

She understood what Natal meant, but this decision——

He is really not suitable to be a captain, Ma Liu unconsciously had this thought in his mind.

The dispute on the bridge finally ended with Malu shutting herself down.

"Do I still have to stay here?"

After being brought back to the original wardroom, Lux looked a little lonely.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Kira placed the dinner plate on the side table and suppressed her gloomy mood and forced a smile to her.

Lux said a little melancholy: "How I wish I could chat with everyone over there and have a happy meal at the same time!"

Even though Lux looked melancholy and unhappy, she still had an indescribable sense of cuteness.

Kira suddenly woke up, as if he saw something dazzling, and couldn't help but look away: "This is a battleship of the Earth Army. It is inevitable that some people don't like the adjuster... uh... not very much..."

Probably, you don’t like me either——

As if trying to cover up the pain in her chest when she said the words, Kira quickly added: "Besides, everyone is hostile to each other now... So, I think there is no solution for the time being... "

"Is that so? War and stuff like that are really annoying."

Lux nodded with a lonely expression after hearing this.

"Yeah, but everyone is a good person."

Kira forced a smile and nodded, but these words coming out of her own mouth made her feel even more irritated.

Why do you want to speak like this for a group of natural people?

It's not like I can get along with them just because of that.

The more she thought about it, the more pathetic she felt, and Kira couldn't help lowering her eyes for a moment.The scene in the cafeteria flashed through my mind.

Fleur's words were indeed aimed at Zaft, but was she really just targeting Zaft——

Adjuster - It's not like I volunteered to be an adjuster.

Even if I am adjusting, am I not protecting them... For a moment, cold despair and sadness filled his chest.

"What a legacy..."

As Lux spoke, she noticed Kira's frustrated expression, and the discomfort on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a smile that seemed to be able to tolerate everything: "But there is nothing we can do about it, after all, we are still at a time when we don't understand each other. , but you are very kind. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what I would do. Thank you so much.”

"I……"

Kira was a little surprised by Lux's reaction. He felt inexplicably guilty and blurted out: "Because I am also an adjuster."

Lux opened her eyes in surprise when she heard this, and tilted her head in confusion.

Looking at Lux's reaction, Kira suddenly thought of Garcia's reaction. The other person's next sentence was probably "Why would an adjuster appear in the Earth Army?"

In other words, you are a traitor to your compatriots - something like that.

"...Your kindness comes from your nature, right? This should have nothing to do with whether you are an adjuster or a natural person."

plop~
Lux's completely different and unexpected answer made Kira's heart beat hard.

"Can I ask for your name? Although I know your name is Kira, I would like to know your full name even more."

Lux smiled softly, and Kira was almost stunned by that innocent smile.

After a pause, Kira woke up and hurriedly replied: "Ah... I, my name is Kira... Kira Yamato."

"Kira, Kira Yamato - thank you so much, Kira-san. Your kindness makes me feel warm and at ease."

Hearing this, Lux clasped her hands together, and a heart-warming smile appeared on her face.

Kira was stunned when he saw this, feeling an indescribable warmth in his heart, and even the pain of being hurt by Fleur disappeared in a daze.

Inside the canteen.

"...Frey, are you Blue Cosmos?"

Kaz, who was eating, couldn't help but ask.

"Not at all!"

Fleur denied it loudly in surprise, and then lowered her voice: "——But what those people said is right. It's not a disease, so why would you want to control your genes? That kind of person goes against the laws of nature. It’s a mistake!”

She looked around at the faces of the others with an unhappy expression: "Actually, you all think so too, right?"

Kaz looked away in panic, and Mirialia, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be thinking seriously.

To be honest, part of Kaz wanted to agree with Fleur.

As a student of Orb.

He knows and understands the difference between the natural man and the adjuster better than the natural man anywhere else.

Everyone entered the school together and started studying together.

But the ones who excel are always the adjusters, and the ones who come out on top are always the adjusters.

I have worked very hard, really hard.

but--

Those adjusters just got a little serious and achieved results that they could not touch after working hard for a long time.

Physical fitness, appearance, IQ, ability, reflexes——

"We seem to...always accidentally forget..."

Unable to help himself, Kaz murmured to himself: "Forgot that Kira is also an adjuster..."

"Eh?"

"Caz?"

Fleur and the others looked at Kaz in astonishment.
