ce. October 2, 1973.
Due to the Zaft military parade, the space port was crowded with people.
Aslan Sala, who stepped out of the space shuttle, looked at the noisy scene with a mixture of suspicion and caution.
The resident staff came forward and gave a briefing to Cagalli behind him.
"In addition to the launching ceremony of the new warship tomorrow, there is also a military parade scheduled..."
Listening to the report from the resident staff, Cagalli shook her blond hair and looked around, with complicated thoughts hidden in her brown eyes.
'Dad, where's the battleship -'
'Speaker Durandal did the right thing, we should really let those damn natural people take a good look at our strength! '
'····'
Listening to people's mixed and vague conversations, Cagalli looked a little confused.
There was no hesitation or doubt on the faces of the citizens of the plant colony who were invited to watch the ceremony.
They just talked about the necessity of warships in an excited tone, were proud of the high technology possessed by the country, and made no secret of their malice towards natural people.
Aslan, who had a big ink stain on his face, quietly approached Cagalli, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Are you going to dress like this? Did you bring a dress or something?"
"Well...it doesn't matter what you wear. I'm also wearing a formal suit, so it doesn't matter."
Cagalli retorted with a guilty pout.
At this moment, she is still the same masculine girl as when they first met.
Facing Cagalli like this, Aslan actually liked her very much in his heart.
However, this was not an ordinary visit after all, so I cautiously suggested to her: "You are also the head of state of Orb, so you have to put on a show. Although you don't have to put on airs, you can't make others look down on you."
When he said this, Cagalli suddenly fell silent as if she thought of something.
A gloomy expression that didn't look like her appeared on her face.
Seeing the expression on Cagalli's face, Aslan couldn't help but turn his head and look at the pedestrians on the road. His mood was also a bit complicated.
In the previous battle, both of them devoted all their efforts.
People with the same doubts began to gather together, trying their best to find a "battle that can end the war" and pouring all their strength into one goal.
Cagalli was also by Aslan's side at that time, confused and troubled with him, sharing each other's pain, and moving towards the future in her heart at the same pace.
Although there were helpless conflicts, looking back now, the wholeheartedness of those days may also be a kind of fulfillment.
While thinking wildly, Aslan and Cagalli walked into the elevator under the guidance of the steward.
After a while.
The glass wall of the elevator suddenly lit up.
Cagalli looked out the glass wall and saw a transparent central axis that could be seen through at a glance.
Below, the blue ocean sparkled in the bright sunlight.
This charming scene is reminiscent of the brightness of the Mediterranean Sea.
But this beautiful scenery is all artificially created. Behind the glass shell with self-healing function is the cold and vacuum universe.
Thinking of this, Cagalli couldn't help but feel a hint of emotion on her face. It would be great if humans put the power of war into construction.
Different from Cagalli's emotion, Aslan couldn't help but feel a trace of nostalgia in his heart when he looked down at the approaching scenery.
Below, because the military parade is approaching, the MS base square in the armory has become more complicated.
Rude shouts came and went.
The vast factory building was noisy.
The most eye-catching thing among them was the mobiles that were at least twenty meters tall, pacing back and forth under the instructions of the soldiers.
I'm afraid it only becomes so active when attacked by the enemy.
At the same time, a jet helicopter approached the base square from a distance.
"It's really lively. Compared to now, I'm afraid it's only so lively during the war."
Noel sat on the helicopter, looking at the square in the distance through the glass and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is a big deal, so you have to do a better job of protection."
Durandal, who was sitting opposite Noel, could not help but narrow his eyes when he heard this and looked at Noel without saying a word.
"Captain Noel, don't worry."
The accompanying affairs officer on the side heard this and quickly replied: "Such a thing will never happen!"
"That's fine, I just mentioned it casually."
Noel smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then asked Durandal, who had been silent, "What should I do after a while? I can't always follow you."
Speaking of which, the reason why Noel appeared here was because of the upcoming military parade.
Although Noel was expelled from the military, his reputation is still relatively good, so he will appear in the auditorium.
The position is a bit forward, in the second row.
"Of course not, you just need to promise to attend the military parade."
Durandal is as elegant and easy-going as ever.
However, I deliberately emphasized my tone when attending.
"Okay, then I will find a place to play by myself."
Noel nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
At the same time, in the base square below.
A military off-road vehicle shuttled back and forth between ms.
squeak--
Suddenly, the small SUV almost hit Keane who appeared from behind the building.
The driver hurriedly turned the steering wheel, causing the car's side wheels to lift off the ground, and narrowly missed Ms's feet.
"Wow...what a mess!"
Lunamaria Hawke, who was sitting in the driver's seat, fell down on her seat in fear.
She has red hair and is very active. She is wearing a red military uniform that symbolizes a top combat driver, which seems inappropriate for her age.
"There's no way, it's been a long time since this happened - besides, there are so many newbies, just like the two of us."
Compared to Lunamaria, who looked impatient, Vinod Dupree in the driver's seat had a more high-spirited expression.
"But in this way, the Minerva can finally be officially put into service. I wonder if it will be deployed to the lunar orbit as rumored?"
There was an unintentional tone of pride in Vinod Dupree's voice.
After all, he and Luna Maria have been assigned to serve on this new battleship, which is the most eye-catching in the entire colony.
Although it has been on it before, this time it is officially confirmed, and it will show up in all colonies and even the entire human world. It is quite exciting to think about it.
Lunamaria looked around with half interest.
She's not heartless like Vinod Dupree.
As the pilot of the Minerva, she often comes into contact with other pilots, who are not so happy to see them.
So she really wasn't interested in things that she should be happy about.
"thunder!"
At this moment, Lunamaria suddenly saw a blond man wearing a red uniform like herself.
Lei waved towards Lunamaria and suddenly heard a rumble from mid-air.
I saw a jet helicopter landing slowly from mid-air.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers.
A man about thirty years old got off the helicopter.
The man was wearing a long robe, with a neat manner, and some slightly longer black hair hanging casually on his shoulders.
The expression on his fair and handsome face is very soft, and his whole body exudes an eye-catching presence.
Lei's face showed a rare expression, and he trotted closer.
However, just as he raised his hand to salute, a young black-haired man wearing an MS maintenance uniform came down from behind the helicopter.
The appearance of a man dressed as a maintenance man in a place full of black uniforms seemed particularly abrupt, but the soldiers around him puffed up their chests subconsciously.
The black-haired man and the man wearing the speaker's uniform said something casually.
After nodding slightly in Lei's direction, he turned and left the range of the helicopter.
