Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 90 Frey's Transformation

"...Then I'll go first."

After receiving a good scolding from the three officers, Kira walked out of the captain's room.

Thor and Mirialia, who were waiting outside, immediately came up worriedly.

"Are you okay Kira? What did they say?"

"Is he going to clean toilets for a week too?"

After Thor asked eagerly, Mu just walked out and heard: "Hey, that's not bad."

After saying that, Mu nodded towards Kira, patted their shoulders and walked away.

In contrast, Natal just glared at them coldly and left.

Kira smiled at Thor and the others: "It's okay - but what about cleaning the toilet?"

Nothing serious happened to him this time. At most, he just got scolded.

"Thor was scolded bloody by Sergeant Madek. Then he was punished by cleaning toilets for a week."

Mirialia laughed unscrupulously on the side.

Thor, who had suffered a heavy sacrifice, had an unhappy look on his face: "Humph, we are going to rendezvous with the Lunar Fleet soon anyway, I just need to be patient for a little longer."

Kira smiled and hooked Thor's shoulder: "Sorry! I will sweep it for you too."

As they walked down the aisle laughing, Thor's expression suddenly turned serious.

"...To be honest, I was a little worried."

"Ok?"

"Isn't the person on that Holy Shield Gundam your former friend... I'm sorry, I heard it."

Kira stopped in surprise.

What he said to Lux on the observation deck—were they heard?
What would Thor and Sai think?
Do they think they are not fighting seriously because the other person is their friend?

Kira felt a twinge of unease in her chest.

The next second, Thor's face showed a solemn look: "It must be hard for you to fight with your good friend. You should tell us earlier next time something like this happens. Aren't we friends?"

"Although we can't help you fight, it's good to have one more person to listen to what you say in your heart. Of course, we will work hard so that we can help you."

"Ah."

Listening to Thor's words from the bottom of his heart, Kira's chest was filled with warmth.

His choice at that time was not wrong. Although he might fight Aslan in the future, he was right.

However, where they were not paying attention, Fleur hid in the branched passage and listened to their conversation.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was livid, and she had a distracted expression.

The eyes that looked at Kira's leaving figure were filled with paranoia and madness.

Time goes by.

The Archangel is about to rendezvous with the Lunar Fleet.

After all kinds of difficulties, they finally got here.

According to the scheduled plan, the refugees will transfer to the space shuttle and land on the earth after rendezvous with the fleet.

"But...what will happen to Kira...?"

At this moment, Thor thought of Kira's situation.

Only after a few people heard this did they realize this subtle problem.

Kira wondered if she would be allowed to disembark with them.

The only one who can drive Strike Gundam is Kira. From the perspective of the Earth Alliance, they probably won't want to let him go...

Kira also walked into the restaurant at this time.

Faced with Kira's sudden appearance, Thor and others didn't know whether to explain this issue for a while, or that this issue was simply beyond their control.

Kira couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw the reactions of several people.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He nodded to a few people and walked towards the water dispenser on the side.

"Frey?"

At this moment, an unexpected figure appeared in the cafeteria.

"Fleur, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?"

Sai noticed something was wrong with Fleur's expression and quickly stood up and called her.

But Fleur didn't even look at him, she just walked towards Kira.

Thinking of what happened before, the sudden appearance of Fleur made Kira feel nervous and didn't know what to say.

"Kira——" Fleur walked up to Kira who lowered his head.

Kira's whole body tensed up when she heard this, not knowing what she was going to say this time.

"I was really sorry at that time. I was in a panic and said a lot of excessive things. I'm sorry!"

However, Fleur's words made everyone freeze in place for a moment.

Kira also raised her head and looked at Fleur in disbelief.

Fleur raised her head and glanced at him. With tears in her eyes, she said sadly: "I'm sorry... you fought desperately to protect us... but I blamed you like that..."

"Fleur! Don't say that...it's okay."

Kira finally reacted at this time and waved her hand quickly.

But Fleur shook her head vigorously, as if she hadn't said enough, and continued: "I also know that you are working hard for us... but I... I'm sorry!"

Fleur's words made Kira feel warm in her heart.

I thought she would hate myself and hate myself from now on, but I didn't expect that she would forgive myself now.

She had just experienced the pain of losing her father, but she was still so considerate of her own feelings. Kira's heart was filled with warmth and encouragement for a while.

"...Thank you Fleur, I should apologize...because I failed to protect your father..."

"This is not your fault. Everything is the fault of this war. You have fought with all your strength. I can't blame you."

Fleur shook her head and denied Kira's words.

"Fule——"

Woo~!

Suddenly, the first combat position alarm sounded inside the ship, interrupting what Kira wanted to say.

"Sorry Fleur! We'll talk later!"

Kira quickly put down the cup, turned around and ran out.

However, behind him, Fleur was still saying with a dull expression: "You have worked very hard and fought very hard. I can't blame you for this-"

"Eh?"

Kira vaguely seemed to hear something, and couldn't help but turn around and glance at Fleur.

"We're going to fight again—ah!"

Suddenly, there was a crashing feeling in front of him, followed by the child's exclamation.

Kira was interrupted and quickly looked at the child who was hit by him.

"I'm sorry, are you okay!"

Kira didn't care about Fleur's situation at this time and quickly helped the child up.

"It's okay, I don't feel any pain at all! I'm not afraid at all!"

The child said with tears in his eyes.

This picture made Kira feel slightly shaken.

"sorry, I--"

"I'm sorry, this big brother is in a hurry."

However, before Kira could apologize, Fleur gently took the little girl and comforted her with a bright smile: "Although we are going to fight again, don't be afraid, this big brother will fight to protect us."

"Really……?"

The little girl timidly looked up at Kira, and Fleur nodded vigorously: "Well, he will kill all the bad guys~"

Kira looked at the smile on Fleur's face and felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

"Kira! Why are you still here?"

At this moment, Mu, who was about to go to the hangar, discovered Kira's figure.

"Sorry, I'll be right over."

When Kira heard this, she didn't care about the situation in front of her: "Fulei, this child will trouble you."

"Okay, just leave it to me. You can go and fight peacefully, Kira."

"Ah."

Kira nodded, then unbuttoned his collar and ran towards the locker room.

However, behind what he couldn't see, Fleur's eyes became cold, and the smile that didn't change in amplitude also became weird.
