Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 87 Lux’s second face

Inside the Vesalius.

Cruze has arrived at the bridge.

Listening to the fluctuating information coming from all around, Kruse, who was leaning on the command chair and tapping his fingers on the armrest, couldn't help but frown slightly.

Ino is still alive - it's not surprising if you have some guesses in your mind.

Instead, it was his return. Didn't he know that he had now lost ZAFT's trust?
Or is it that he has reached some kind of special agreement with the Klein faction?

For a moment, Cruze was a little unsure about Ino's situation.

"Ino and Lux?"

In the hangar, Aslan, who was ready to attack, also received sounds from the outside world.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was a little confused.

"That machine - it's that guy!"

The Hilda trio also boarded their respective MSs.

The three of them were also a little surprised when they saw the MS identification number coming from the bridge.

The three of them have personal experience of the opponent's strength. They can't say that one of them can suppress the three of them, but the difference is not big.

I thought that the other party was from the United Earth, but I didn't expect that the other party was actually from my side, and now even brought Miss Lux back.

This overwhelming and unexpected situation made the three of them a little confused.

However, the three of them still drove the machine body out of the hangar of the Vesalius according to the normal situation of facing the enemy.

For them, fighting is not their main responsibility. They have one and only one goal for this trip - to find Lux ​​Klein, and other combat missions can make way for this.

soon.

Led by the Aegis Gundam, the four mobile suits quickly spotted Keen approaching in the distance on the screen.

"Ino, Ino Kamal?"

Aslan took the lead in connecting the communication with Keen.

"Long time no see, Aslan."

Ino smiled and connected the communication.

"you--"

"Hello, Aslan."

Before Aslan could ask his doubts, Lux, who was wearing an aviation jacket on the screen, smiled and greeted Aslan.

"Lux, it's great that you're safe."

Aslan looked at Lux's face and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how worried he was when the Archangel took out Lux and threatened him.

Well now, Lux is back.

"Miss Lacus!"

"I'm so glad you're safe, Miss Lux!"

Before the three of them could reminisce about old times, Hilda and the other three who came from behind directly cut into the communication.

"Sister Hilda, Mr. Mass, Mr. Herbert - thank you for your hard work!"

Lux obviously knew the three of them, and seemed to have a very close relationship with them.

"It's not hard, Miss Lux, I hope you can come back safely."

One-eyed Hilda also had a relieved smile on her face.

"The mission is finally over, and I can finally go back and have a good rest."

Mas also had a smile on his face.

"This time it is really too troublesome for you."

Lux smiled and nodded to the three of them in thanks.

"Let's not talk about reminiscing about old times for now, Ino, right? Thank you so much this time. You take Miss Lux back first, and leave the guy behind to us to deal with!"

Hilda also realized that now was not the time to reminisce about old times, and while speaking, she drove the machine body and activated the engine to rush forward.

Their mission was to search and rescue Lux. Now that they finally met Lux, they had to ensure Lux's safety no matter what.

"and many more!"

Seeing this, Lux quickly stopped Hilda and others: "Kira is not an enemy."

"Ok?"

"Miss Lux?"

Hilda and others looked confused.

"I was able to leave the Archangel this time, thanks to Mr. Kira's help." Lux explained.

"Kira?"

Aslan, who had not interrupted until now, heard his haunting name, and there was a strange look on his face.

"Kira should have a lot to say to you Aslan." After Lux finished speaking, as if she had discovered something, the expression on her face suddenly changed, and a firm and stern tone came from her mouth: "Ke Captain Lu Ze, during this special period, as a representative of the memorial group, I request you to immediately stop all subsequent military operations!"

"Eh?"

"Lax?"

"Miss Lacus!"

Lux's sudden change made Aslan and others look surprised.

"Ok?"

Inside the Vesalius, Cruze frowned slightly. Is this my business?

"Captain Cruze?"

Adis subconsciously looked at Cruze behind him.

This command certainly won't cause much trouble to it under normal circumstances.

But the problem is that this is not a normal situation. The mission of the Vesalius is to search and rescue Lux Klein.

Coupled with Lacus Klein's identity, this sudden order is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

"Captain Cruze, are you planning to turn this place into a battlefield in front of me, the representative of the memorial group?"

"Lux..."

This is the first time Aslan has seen Lux look like this.

In his impression, Lux always had a sweet and quiet smile, but at this time, she was stern and majestic that he had never seen before.

Hilda and the other two immediately stopped moving without any hesitation.

"Is this—possible?"

In the Archangel at the rear, thanks to the full-circuit wave band, Ma Liu and others also received the sound from the front.

It's just that they are still a little unsure whether the other party will stop fighting as Lux asks.

"Probably not."

Sai and others who were 'caught' on the bridge said with some uncertainty.

Although Lux is the child of the Speaker of the Supreme Council of PLANT, she is only a child. She should not be able to influence the wishes of a frontline commander.

"Be prepared for battle, but we must not launch a probing attack before the opponent makes any move!"

Captain Malu reacted quickly: "Captain Flagg, please be ready to attack at any time!"

Regardless of whether the other party will stop acting according to Lux's order, it is certain to be prepared.

"understand!"

Flagg, who had already entered Mobius Zero, nodded.

Inside the bridge of the Vesalius.

The soldiers were waiting for Kruse's orders.

"Tsk, what a wayward young lady——"

After a while, Kruse's reply came in: "...I understand, Lux Klein"

After saying that, Cruze ordered to his soldiers: "Addis, turn off the main guns and send a signal to return to the ship!"

Although I was a bit troubled by the fact that I couldn't solve the problem of long legs here, I had no choice but to search and rescue Lux Klein.

It was okay to attack Long Legs before, but now that Lux has returned, if we continue, we may end up losing a lot.

And in a sense, Lacus Klein is indeed qualified to interfere in the military operation of the Vesalius at this time.

"Yes!"

"Send the main guns to shut down and send the return signal!"

After receiving the order, the Vesalius quickly began to take action.

The retreat signal flare instantly ejected into the air.

"Thank you."

As she spoke, Lux cut off the communication with the Vesalius, and then smiled at Aslan, who was stunned: "Aslan, you can have a good chat with Mr. Kira next. I miss him." I also have a lot to say to you.”

"how about you?"

Aslan asked quickly after hearing this.

"Ino and the others will go back to the Vesalius and wait for you."

Lux immediately hung up the communication after speaking.

"that's it?"

Ino couldn't help but ask.

Normally, shouldn't Lux be emotionally involved at this moment?

"Many times if there is an extra unrelated bystander, the parties concerned will not be able to speak freely."

"·····All right."
