Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 85: Talking is not suitable for me

Kira rushed into the deserted observation deck and screamed like crazy.

If he didn't do this, he would feel like he was on the verge of self-destruction.

He hit the glass head first, tears floating in the air.

"--What happened to you?"

Unintentionally, a voice nearby made Kira turn her head in surprise.

Lux's innocent face was right in front of him, her eyes blinking constantly, as if she was silently asking him... He felt that this girl seemed to appear suddenly and unintentionally.

No, not this question.

"...W-What are you doing? Why are you here!"

Kira looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in shock.

"I'm taking a walk."

Lux replied with a smile.

"No! You're moving around without permission again. What if you're taken as a spy..."

"No, I was brought out by Ino."

Lux floated in mid-air with an innocent smile on her face.

"Ino?"

Only then did Kira realize that there was another figure not far away.

Perhaps it was because the girl in front of him attracted so much attention that he ignored the man standing not far away.

Ino noticed Kira's gaze, smiled and raised his hand to say hello.

"Ino, you-"

Kira didn't understand the scene in front of her.

"We all knew each other when we were in ZAFT." Ino briefly explained.

"Um...is that so——"

Kira, no, it should be said that most of the crew members on the Archangel don't know much about Ino's existence.

They only knew that Ino was a soldier of ZAFT.

However, Ino has no restrictions on the Archangel. Not only can he enter and leave the bridge alone, he can even drive the aircraft to help assist the Archangel.

The scene fell into silence for a while.

Ino winked at Lacus, but Lacus just looked at him with a smile as if she didn't see him.

finally--

"Kira."

While Kira looked at both sides, Ino stood up helplessly.

Having said that, I really can’t play in this situation.

"what?"

Kira came to her senses.

"I'm leaving the Archangel."

After Ino glanced at Lux, he bluntly stated his intention.

Originally, I didn't have any talent for talking, and I didn't know how to build relationships, so I could only be more honest.

"Eh?"

Kira looked surprised, and Ino's words caused his thoughts to fall into confusion for a moment.

"For some reasons, I must bring Miss Lux back to ZAFT. To do this, I need you to help me open the hangar gate."

Ino really doesn't have Lux's ability to draw attention to others and then destroy the other person's psychological defense.

Kira couldn't help but froze in place when she heard this.

"You should have seen what happened just now."

Ino looked at Kira's stunned look, took a step forward and said: "It is too despicable to use the life of an ordinary girl who has nothing to do with the battlefield to win."

After saying that, Ino didn't wait for Kira's reaction and continued: "Of course, I don't have any complaints about the behavior of the captain and deputy captain. I can understand their behavior for victory and self-protection, but this does not mean that I Be willing to accept this behavior.”

The expression on Kira's face gradually became depressed.

He couldn't accept this result mentally, but he allowed himself to help Ino leave here. Without Lux's amulet, how would the Archangel deal with ZAFT's pursuit next?

Without Lux, can I still protect the Archangel from ZAFT's attack——

"Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. War is just like this. If my life can bring everyone's hope of survival, then it might not be a happy thing."

Lux's voice interrupted Kira's thoughts.

When she looked up, the girl's innocent eyes looked particularly pure.

Looking at the other person's young face, Kira couldn't help but feel a cramping irritability in her heart.You have to treat this person as a hostage so that you can survive...

Can this kind of behavior really be forgiven——

"A battle that requires the lives of innocent people as a bargaining chip cannot be called just or correct in any way."

Ino said quietly from the side: "As I said just now, I can understand the behavior of the captain and deputy captain, but I really can't accept the wife of my friend as a pawn who survived the battle. "

"My friend's wife?"

Kira looked shocked.

"Well, Lux is Aslan's fiancée." Ino nodded.

"Eh!?"

"Don't you know that Lux is Aslan's fiancée?"

Ino couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw Kira's stunned look.

"I do not know."

Kira shook her head.

"Ok?"

Ino set her sights on Lux who was standing aside.

Lux turned her head and looked at the starry sky in the distance, as if there was something fascinating there.

"..."

Ino suddenly felt like a loser. Didn't this guy say that she told Kira her identity?
Did I remember wrong?
"You just said that Lux is Aslan's fiancée. Is this true?"

Kira suddenly remembered Aslan's words when he left.

"Um, it's true."

Ino nodded.

Kira set her sights on Lux.

Lux nodded and said, "Yes, Aslan Sara is the person I will marry in the future!"

He said it as if it was a matter of course. Faced with Kira's gaze, Lux smiled: "...Although he is gentle, he doesn't like to talk...However, he gave me this Harrow."

The pink robot pet "Hello, Hello" floating in the air spoke, and Lux ​​reached out to hug it down.

"As soon as I said I liked it very much, he kept sending me hellos..."

Kira was stunned in surprise, but then he suddenly laughed.

Lux said it sincerely, and he immediately imagined that scene in his mind——

Aslan heard people say that he liked it, and then he kept making hello one after another, and then took it to their homes;
And Lux ​​probably happily accepted them one after another.

Lux's room must have been filled with these silly but adorable spherical robots, singing the chorus of "Hello, Hello."

"...Aslan is still the same. He also made my little bird for me."

Kira couldn't help but think of the bird Aslan gave her.

"really?"

Lux's eyes lit up.

"Well, I'll show it to you next time."

"Okay."

Looking at Lux's face, the gloom in Kira's heart dissipated and became much lighter.

Although surprised at first, now that they have the same friends, Kira feels that he has suddenly become closer to her.

only--

Aslan's words during the battle suddenly rang in his mind again.

The tone of indignation made him feel painful inside.

"——It would be nice if you two didn't fight."

Lux's voice was considerate and gentle, and this gentleness seemed to seep into the wound, making Kira even more reluctant to let go.

But it also made him feel painful inside.

finally--

Kira's gloomy face had a determined look.

"I understand, Ino, this kind of thing is really not allowed! I can help you!"

Looking at Kira who suddenly became determined, Ino twitched her lips silently.

Although the goal was achieved, it was... very complicated.

For no reason, Ino silently glared at Lux who had an inexplicable smile on her face.
