At night, in the July Satellite Orphanage, Noel was lying on the bed in a daze after dinner.
"If I remember correctly, the reason why adjusters and natural people completely fell out is because on Valentine's Day, the Earth Alliance dropped a nuclear bomb on PLANT's colonial satellite, which not only killed countless innocent adjusters, but also Blast Aslan’s mother to death too.”
"And Aslan's father is one of the twelve members of the PLANT Supreme Council and the chairman of the ZAFT Defense Committee..."
"By the way, when is Valentine's Day? What's the name of the satellite that was bombed?"
"Noel, are you still awake?"
Just when Noel was leaning on the bed in a daze, his roommate Asya opened the door and walked in.
"Isn't this waiting for you?" Noel said without looking back.
"Wait for me? What are you waiting for?" Asya, who was about to take off his clothes and go to bed, stopped and looked at Noel with a puzzled expression.
"I'm worried about you," Noel randomly found an excuse and smiled.
"What do I have to worry about?" Asya was completely confused. Worried about me?
"nothing."
Noel realized that he was getting more and more confused as he spoke, so he quickly stopped the topic and asked instead: "By the way, do you know when Valentine's Day is?"
"Valentine's Day? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? And I feel like you've changed a lot lately!"
Asya felt that Noel was a little strange today. No, it should be said that Noel had become strange since he was injured and hospitalized.
For example, fertilizing, transplanting rice seedlings, and picking fruits... are obviously much easier than before.
In addition to this, there is also his expression and tone of voice. I don't know if it is my imagination, but I always feel that it is different from before.
He has become less childish, and he no longer shouts about avenging his parents every day, as if nothing happened.
If it weren't for the fact that he was very familiar with Noel and ruled out the possibility of being switched, he would have thought that Noel was not Noel.
"A sudden thought, you know?" Noel continued to ask.
He also knew that his usual style was different from the previous Noel, but even if he knew, he couldn't change it. He was not the same person in the first place, how could it be the same.
And if you ask yourself to pretend to be bitter and resentful every day, he won't be able to do it.
"Suddenly...hoho, I know!"
Asya seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Noel with bright eyes.
"What's that look in your eyes? I'm just asking you about Valentine's Day. Are you like this?" Noel felt uncomfortable when Asya looked at her.
"Noel has grown up without knowing it. He has reached this age." Asya did not answer, but said melancholy and emotionally, just like the expression of an old father who heard that his son had a girlfriend.
"Asia."
"Um?"
"Do you know you deserve a beating like this?"
"What do you owe...Wait a minute, what are you going to do! What are you doing with a stick...I need help! I'm killing someone!"
"It is the fault of a son not to teach his father. Today I will let my father tell you what it means that a golden stick produces good people!"
Maybe it's because of Noel's memory, or maybe it's because of Asya's unabashed enthusiasm and concern, and the pure look in his eyes.
After Noel came here, he once again experienced the feeling of a close friend.
"Noel Cassia! Asya! What time is it and you still don't sleep!"
Amid the scolding of Sister Aya from the orphanage, Noel took Asya back to the dormitory with a stick, ending the night's farce.
"What did you say?"
"Valentine's Day is February 14th!?"
Noel, who had just returned to the dormitory and was about to rest, exclaimed, "2/17, isn't that... Hey, there doesn't seem to be anything exciting. Valentine's Day happens every year, so maybe it's that one."
The orphanage suddenly lights up!
"Noel Cassia!"
"Forehead·····"
Seeing Aya who suddenly broke into the room, Noel's body trembled involuntarily. This was the fear engraved in his bones!
Even Noel, who had changed his soul, couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"It seems that you are in good spirits!" Aya said as she rolled up her sleeves and slowly approached Noel.
"Um...I...I'm still injured!"
"It's okay, I won't beat you to death!"
"Don't! Don't... ow~!"
······
Leisure time is always short and time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
"What should I do..."
Noel sat in front of something that looked like a computer from his previous life, frowning secretly as he looked at the information on it.
During this period, the more Noel got to know PLANT, the more panicked he became.
The thing that worried Noel the most was the news about Lacus Klein.
This SEED hidden boss is actually fourteen years old. Of course, age is not the important point. The important point is that Lux is already a singer.
At the same time, the relationship with Aslan Sara as his fiancée has been confirmed, which means that the plot is about to begin!
PLANT and the Earth Alliance are about to start a genocide war!
"Cio! I still don't know how to save my life..."
Although Noel didn't know the specific time when the war broke out, he still had a rough impression that when the war broke out, both Lux and Aslan were very young, about fourteen, fifteen or six years old. left and right.
And now, Lux is fourteen years old.
In other words, the Earth Alliance's nuclear bomb is coming soon!
But now I don’t know at all which satellite the Earth Alliance’s nuclear bomb bombed. What if it was the July satellite I was waiting for?
That's not the end of the world!
It's not like he hasn't thought about telling PLANT's top brass about this information, or using some method to pass it on.
But he is not a child, and his mind is not so naive. He is just thinking about this kind of thing.
Putting aside whether you can give the information to someone with sufficient authority, even if you actually hand it over, how can you prove the authenticity of the information?
Just because of a fifteen-year-old child's words, the entire PLANT readjusted its strategic plan?
Even if you think about it with your toes, it’s impossible!
Let alone him, a bastard, it's Aslan, and it's useless for Lacus to say it.
Nowadays, there is constant friction between PLANT and the Earth Federation, and the troops are basically concentrated on the front line. In addition, the strength of PLANT is several times that of the Earth Federation. In order to ensure the safety of the front line, it is impossible to retreat on a large scale for defense.
Therefore, now he can only protect himself, but now he is not even qualified to protect himself.
And to put it another step back, so what if he was really protecting himself?
Do you want to walk alone in this strange world of war, like a lonely ghost?
"Noel!"
Just when Noel was thinking about how to save his life, outside the house, Asya, who had just returned from the fields, stood downstairs with his friends and called.
"Huh? Why are you back so early?" Noel closed the computer and stood up to read it, feeling a little confused.
Although the orphanage receives assistance from all parties, it does not mean that the orphanage has to raise disabled people, so it will not lack the training it deserves.
In addition to studying in class, I have to help out with work the rest of the time.
However, there is not much land in the orphanage, and the thirty or so orphans can only work in batches, and they usually come back during dinner time.
Why is it so early today?
"You don't know?" Asya asked.
"What do you know?" Noel looked confused.
"Dr. Lenoa Sara is coming to visit us, so the dean asked us to come back early to prepare." Asya explained standing below.
"Oh, that's it, then come on!"
After hearing this, Noel said that he understood. This kind of thing is actually normal. In the orphanage, basically anyone with a certain status will come to express condolences when they meet.
Not to mention Lenoa Sara's...
"Who are you talking about!?"
Noel, who was about to turn around and continue checking information, suddenly froze and looked at Asya with a dull expression.
Lenoa Sara...isn't that Aslan's fucking name?
