June 14th.
Aslan left the plant with justice.
First he went to see the post-war scenes in Alaska and Panama, and then returned to the place where he thought everything ended.
A little-known island in the Pacific——
There are so many islands like this in Southeast Asia that he almost missed them.
Aslan walked out of the cockpit and came to the beach. The fragments of the Aegis Gundam were still scattered around, but there was no trace of the Strike Gundam.
The white sand, blue waves, and lush green vegetation were so beautiful that people dared not look directly at them. If it weren't for the scattered fragments, he would never have imagined that this was the same island.
But a few weeks ago, he and his friends had a life-and-death battle here.
But for some reason, the painful feeling that I originally felt in retrospect is not as torturous as expected.
Instead, a kind of reluctance mixed with nostalgia arose in my heart.
Looking at the head of the Aegis Gundam lying among the gentle waves, I felt an incredible sense of peace.
The battle he took place here was a private fight that was almost personal and emotional, but afterwards it was described as an official deed, and was evaluated and praised from a perspective that was completely inconsistent with the facts...
Just like one's personal belongings were arbitrarily taken out for auction——
But then again, isn't this ego factor the root of all wars?
Killing because of fear of being killed, and being killed because of killing someone - killing and being killed are intertwined repeatedly, and in the end it will become bigger and bigger. No one can predict to what extent it will eventually expand.
Thinking back to Lux’s words——
Aslan looked at the remains of the Holy Shield with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
If you keep fighting like this until the end, will you really get peace? Can you really get the peace you want...
After an unknown amount of time, Aslan suddenly felt a line of sight staring at him.
Aslan turned his head, and a small head immediately shrank back behind the wreckage of the Holy Shield Gundam.
"What's wrong with you?"
Just when Aslan was surprised, a steady voice sounded.
Following the sound, I saw a man with a temperament completely incompatible with this island, standing there with a cane.
The man had a rational and calm face, with his eyes closed and his head tilted, as if listening to the sound of the wind.
"Teacher Moluki?" Aslan suddenly remembered that Lux had said that Instructor Moluki seemed to be preaching here.
As if he felt Aslan's breath, a warm smile appeared on Teacher Moluki's face.

Inside the Orb Dawn Society—
Everyone on the Archangel was silent, silently watching the young female captain who had led them to this point.
"Now that the Archangel is a deserter, and Orb is facing such a situation, what should we do - to be honest, I don't know."
"So I won't order you to make a choice. Of course, I don't have that authority over you now..."
After hearing these words, everyone seemed more shaken than before.
Over time, they have become accustomed to obeying orders.
After understanding the doubts in their hearts, Ma Liu continued: "The worst-case scenario right now is that the battle will start at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow. Do you want to fight to protect Orb or plan to leave? All this must be judged by yourself."
Fighting to protect Orb means they have to confront the organization they once belonged to.
The soldiers were quite confused by this.
Looking at them, Cagalli also looked unhappy.
After meeting her eyes, Kira nodded slightly to her.
After telling everyone everything, Ma Liu looked at everyone's faces meaningfully and said, "Thank you for following an unreliable captain like me along the way. Thank you very much!"
At this point, she had tears in her eyes and bowed deeply to everyone.
The unreliable captain was a fact, but perhaps it was her confusion that led them to this point.
Only confusion can reveal humanity. If you blindly put aside confusion and choose to follow blindly, even if you eliminate all those who are different from your ideals, you will not be able to escape the fate of struggle.
Are you right? No misunderstanding? Is there any other way? It is precisely because of confusion that people will discover other possibilities.
After disbanding, some of the crew members began to discuss among themselves, while others were meditating alone.
Kira walked towards the residential area. He had already made his decision and was not confused.
"Kira...!"
Just then Cagalli caught up from behind and grabbed Kira.
Facing the panicked Cagalli, Kira couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Cagalli stopped, wringing her hands, and said in a panic: "Kira...that...um...oh!"
"Calm down first, you will make others uneasy too."
"Yes... that's right... no, but!" Gu Leng
Upon hearing his correction, Cagalli nervously adjusted her clothes, but in the end she couldn't help but scratch her head anxiously and said: "Orb is going to become a battlefield. Faced with this kind of thing...!"
"I think the path Orb chose... is the right one, although it is also the most difficult one."
"Kira..."
Cagalli looked at him with disbelief on her face.
Kira smiled at her and said: "So you have to calm down. I can't say how much I can do, but I will try my best to protect the country that Mr. Uzmi and the others want to protect."
There was a quiet determination in his voice.
"——"
Cajiali stared at him, tears welling up in her eyes, and she hugged Kira tightly with great emotion.
"Kira...Kira——...!"
"Well……"
Even though she was like this, Kira still panicked when someone hugged her regardless of the occasion.
"Hey, so I mean...! Huh?"
He was helpless to comfort Cajiali, but at this time she had let go and started crying.
When something like this happened, she, who had always thought about this country more than anyone else, was extremely frightened.
See how she always reveals her true feelings without pretense——
Kira still hoped that Cagalli would have some awareness of being a girl and stop hugging boys all the time.

Inside the temporary prison of the Archangel—
Seeing Milia's appearance, Diaka suddenly sat up from the bed, trying not to show his inner excitement.
Since that day, she would bring meals to him when she was free. Although her face still had that indifferent attitude, she was the only person here who was willing to pay attention to Diaka.
But thinking that her boyfriend died in the war made Diaka feel a little complicated.
But being locked up in a place like this, seeing her for a moment has become the only pleasure in the day.
After all, although she puts on a pretty face every day, I have to say that from a natural person's point of view, she still looks very cute...
Diaka just sat on the bed and thought about this.
"Click——"
Suddenly I heard a crisp sound, and then I realized that Milia was unlocking the cell door.
"Interrogation or transfer?"
Diaka was stunned. Whether it was interrogation or transfer, neither was a good thing.
It would be another matter if he could return to the country, but if he was just sent to another military unit and would not be able to see this girl in the future, he would not be happy at all.
Facing Diaka's question, Milia just replied coldly: "This ship is going to fight again, and the Earth Army is coming to attack Orb."
"ha?"
Hearing this, Diaka couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong.
The Earth Army attacks Orb—what is this woman talking about?
She casually stuffed the clean Diaka driving suit into him, and Milia turned sideways and said to herself: "So you don't have to be locked up anymore. It's...well, released."
After that, he turned around and left.
"Ah! No, just wait a moment!"
Diaka held her clothes in a daze and chased after her.
"What did you just say happen?"
"Didn't I just say that?"
His tone was still the same cold——
Diaka vaguely felt an unusual tension.
Milia didn't even look at him, and said as she walked: "Because the Earth Army is coming, the Archangel is going to fight! Anyway, you are of no use on the ship, so I will let you off the ship!"
Her answer did not resolve Thiago's fundamental question.
"I'm asking why you want to fight the Earth Army?"
Diaka looked confused.
Aren't these guys the Earth Army?
At least it was the case before, so why are you fighting the Earth Army again now?
And why is this "fighting" coming?
Diaka had the feeling that the world had changed when he woke up. If Noel were here, he would definitely tell Diaka that feeling - it's called time travel!
