The izakaya suddenly became lively with the arrival of Neumann and others.
While everyone was making a fuss, the door of the izakaya was opened again, and Mu pushed Kaz in.
"Sorry, I'm late. I begged your captain for a long time to let me out." Uncle Mu waved in greeting.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Seeing his former companion, Kaz greeted him cautiously.
"Really, are you still struggling with that matter?" Uncle Mu slapped him on the shoulder when he saw this, "Didn't I say that the choice in that situation was also a last resort, you don't need to feel ashamed."
"Kazi, this is a rare gathering, have fun." Dole is also relatively good at things. He went over and pulled Kaz to his seat, and then he and Sai sat on Kaz's left and right sides. on both sides.
"That's right. As punishment for being late, I'll punish myself with a bottle first."
Uncle Mu spoke up, snatched a bottle of beer that had just been opened from Madoc's hand, opened his mouth and finished DuangDuangDuang.
"It feels so good!" Uncle Mu looked like he was extremely happy and complained: "Your captain is so annoying. She banned drinking for three months and almost died."
"Really, you should stop showing off your affection."
Madoc rolled his eyes, getting everyone to laugh.
The men on the Archangel were laughing and laughing, but Li Boyong, who was also qualified to participate in this party, was now struggling to eat a boring set meal in the space battleship's cafeteria.
A battle had just ended, and with a new ZAFT battleship behind him, Li Boyong was seizing the time to replenish his strength.
After a while of devouring food, Li Boyong left the canteen and went to the maintenance room of the enhanced man to check on the situation of Stella and others.
"How is the situation?" Li Boyong asked the man in the white coat who was working.
"Colonel!" The white coat saluted with a military salute and replied: "It's basically settled down, but Oulu seems to have used a forbidden language on Stella, which caused some inconvenience to the debugging."
"Is the problem serious?" Li Boyong asked.
"There should be no problem, it just takes a little more time than usual." The white coat replied.
"That's good." Li Boyong nodded, and then asked tentatively: "Speaking of which, the instructions given to me said that enhanced people must enter the maintenance cabin for a period of time, otherwise they will not be able to maintain normal body functions. If What if something goes wrong with the facilities here during the battle?”
"The maintenance of enhanced humans is indeed what you said. After all, although their appearance is the same as ours, there are differences on the inside. This is the price of strengthening, but it is also a means of control."
The white coat replied: "Of course, if the problem you are worried about happens, Colonel, although it is a bit troublesome, they can barely maintain their physical functions through drug injection, but the adjustment of their mental state cannot be done. If you want to use , we also need to go to the rear to supply new facilities.”
"I see. It seems I need to protect this place, otherwise they won't be of use."
After getting the answer he wanted to know, Li Boyong said that he wanted to wait for the three people to wake up and arrange the operation, and then chat with the researchers while observing the researchers' operations under the cover of the helmet.
About half an hour later, Stella and the three of them woke up one after another and came out of the life-support cabin.
"Neo!"
When Stella woke up and saw Neo, she immediately threw herself into Li Boyong's arms with a wide smile.
To be honest, Li Boyong felt very comfortable holding such a cute girl in his arms at first.
But when I think that the reason why the other party is so dependent on me is just because of the false memory that was implanted, I can't help but feel a little sad and a little ashamed.
"Did you sleep well?"
He stretched out his hand to tidy up Stella's hair and asked softly.
"Hmm~~~"
Stella nodded solemnly, her long nasal voice full of joy.
"That's good. There's a battle coming next. The three of you will gather in the pilot's waiting room later."
Li Boyong touched Stella's blond hair and left the maintenance room.
The three of them still have some inspections to do. He needs to lay out the battle plan first. After all, there is a Minerva behind him that he can't get rid of. He can't run back to the moon base with that kind of thing behind his back. That way If so, it wouldn't be considered a confidential mission.
————
The Garudi running in front was preparing to counterattack, while the Minerva chasing behind was also preparing for battle.
In terms of speed, after all, the Minerva was slightly better, and it was gradually approaching the Garudi.
The battle was about to begin, and the hangar suddenly became busy, giving the MS final inspections before attack.
In the pilot's waiting room, Zhen looked at the ceremony being prepared outside and asked Shihe, who was also in the waiting room: "Are you going to attack too?"
"Can't you?" Shihe asked angrily, not giving a good look to this brat with a one-tongued and stinky personality.
"With this kind of equipment?" Zhen frowned, "Although I admit that you are very skilled and can hold the earth for so long with Ceremonial Jean, but even if Jean is replaced with actual combat equipment, it will be difficult to cause damage to the Gundam."
Shihe raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. For a brat to say something like this, it's already a sign of concern.
"Don't worry."
Shihe replied, "It's you who want to go to the front line and fight. I'm only responsible for escorting the Minerva."
"That's good."
Zhen snorted arrogantly.
"What's this guy doing?"
Lunamaria looked at the real appearance and shook her head secretly. She clearly cared about Shi He in private, and even said that the other party had the same hairstyle as her sister.
As a result, when we meet, we can only use sarcasm to attract others' attention. Is this guy a primary school student?
Luna complained in her heart, and then came close to Shihe and started chatting casually: "Sister Shihe, I heard that you participated in the last war, can you tell me about some of the situations at that time?"
In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming cold and to prevent the guests from feeling that the people on the Minerva did not understand hospitality, Luna decided that she, a girl, would come out to lighten the atmosphere.
Mentioning the last war, Shihe couldn't help but think of Yajin's situation at that time, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Li Boyong, who was neither alive nor dead.
While Minerva was chasing Garudi, Shihe took the time to ask Aslan if there was any news about Li Boyong in the Three Ship Alliance, but unfortunately, Aslan also said that there was no news about Li Boyong.
At that time, Aslan looked at Shihe's disappointed expression and almost lost his composure, hesitating whether to tell Shihe something.
After all, he had been with Orb for more than a year, and many people on the Archangel mentioned that Li Boyong seemed to have a natural lover, a female officer named Natal Baji Lulu.
It seems that the other party is also waiting for news about Li Boyong...
