The light gray giant ship broke through the waves and sailed towards the distant island.
After passing through the long and orderly pier, the giant ship slowed down and sailed into the harbor until a large open gate appeared in front of it, and the giant ship slowly turned.
Inside the gate is a wide shipyard. The radio announces the arrival of the giant ship, and the operators are running around.
A group of people who were obviously not shipyard operators stood on the edge of the dock, watching the scarred warship slowly dock. A strong man in the front row murmured with a worried look:
"Zavolt's latest battleship, the Minerva...the princess chose this juncture to return home on such a troublesome thing..."
Unat Loma Shenglan is one of the Orb chiefs. He is slightly fat, slightly bald, and wears a purple chief's uniform.
Futai has a pair of disproportionately large orange glasses on his face. He is currently the prime minister and is responsible for assisting the young Cagalli.
A young man standing next to him heard this and replied: "What can I do, father? Besides, how could Cagalli think that such a thing would happen?"
Although they were a few words to smooth things over, the tone contained a hint of insult - he was Yuna Loma Saint Lan, the son of Unat and one of the cabinet staff.
Yuna was also dressed in purple. He was tall and well-looking, but his expression revealed a certain sense of self-esteem and parental pampering unique to a child from a rich family.
Then he said to his father beside him: "Besides, this is a ship escorting the head of state back to the country. We can't show the slightest neglect at this time!"
In Orb, the authority of the chiefs remains rock solid.
This country, which consists of islands in the South China Sea, established a parliament as its decision-making body when it became a modern country. Although sovereignty is vested in all the people, the chief representative who symbolizes the head of state has always been the Asghar family, the largest chief minister.
Orb's technological level is the highest in the world, and it is also one of the trade transfer stations between the universe and the earth. As a result, the country has prospered.
After hearing this, Unat looked up at the Minerva and echoed his son's words meaningfully: "That's true, at least at this time..."
Because of his identity, Noel did not go ashore with Thalia and others.
Instead, he walked out of the battleship's lounge only after the battleship entered the repair dock.
At least for now, he is still a natural war criminal in a sense, and rashly appearing on ZAFT's battleships will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After requesting a car from the Minerva.
Noel left the dock and headed towards Lux's residence.
To be honest, he didn't know why he wanted to find Lux, but now he seemed to have no choice but to go to Lux, and he only wanted to go to Lux.
No reason, just the thought.
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away in Eurasia.
Kira and Fleur are currently conducting post-disaster rescue work.
The Archangel loaded with supplies landed in a ruins.
After distributing the supplies, Kira drove the engineering rescue Lesata MS to participate in the rescue work. This was the only job he could do.
I have to say that MS can still play a very important role in this kind of rescue mission.
Especially with the operation of a driver of Kira's level, disaster rescue is much more convenient than in the past.
The rescue work continued until dusk.
Kira, who was exhausted physically and mentally, drove the machine to dock near the Archangel.
[Watch and help each other, and overcome the difficulties together. My compatriots on the earth, please be strong——]
Durandal's speech slowly came out through the adjuster's own communication broadcast.
It has to be said that the Adjusters have done a very great job in rescuing the Earth. There are Adjuster rescue teams in almost every disaster-stricken location.
However, listening to Durandal's speech, there was no warmth in Kira's heart at this time, only cold anger.
In fact, Kira is not such a person. He has his own ideas and actions.
However, his environment has changed.
He is surrounded by natural beings and almost without an adjuster.
At the same time, those natural people also accepted him as an adjuster.
Whether it was the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, or ordinary natural people, Kira found a familiar sense of belonging.
In fact, the most difficult thing for Kira to accept during the first war between the Adjusters and the Natural Man was not the hostility to Aslan.
It is the group that he can never integrate into. The hostility of natural people makes him unable to find any sense of belonging, as if he is always alone and struggling in pain.
But he had to step onto the battlefield to fight with his best friends. Finally, with the help of Lux, he regained his strength and determined his path - to fight to end the war.
Now, he has found his home and his place - Earth.
The Eurasian Federation, which was not so repellent to adjusters, accepted him as an adjuster.
And he was regarded as a hero. Children liked him, soldiers worshiped him, politicians accepted him, and people praised him.
Even the people of the Atlantic Federation no longer maintained a hostile attitude towards him, but instead accepted him as a friendly force.
Unknowingly, Kira also regarded himself as a part of the earth.
In other words, he was originally a part of the earth, but now he has just returned to the earth.
Of course, if it was just a matter of the above stance, Kira might not be too angry.
What really threw him over the edge was the video provided by Hills Satie.
The one who pushed Junius off the earth was Plant.
It was the plant that crushed Junius, but it was also the plant that pushed Junius off the earth. The first person to actively rescue a natural person was the plant——
With Hills Satie's suggestion, it's hard not to wonder whether this is a show.
Even Hills Sati had already guessed everything that would happen next when Junius fell, and she even guessed what would happen next.
They even know what attitude Plant will use to face the United Earth next, and even the reasons have been stated, for example - strictly speaking, those people do not belong to Plant, but are just deserters from Plant.
certainly.
Just like this, Kira would not have too much anger towards the plant. What really made him unable to accept was that most of the dead were innocent people.
If the plant was only for the military, he could barely accept it.
But why do they want to affect these innocent people?
"Kira?"
Just as Kira was looking at the refugee camp in the distance, Fleur came to him at some point.
Kira heard this and looked back at Fleur. Looking at her tired face and eyes, Kira stretched out her hand to wipe the stains on her face, with a hint of distress and emotion in her eyes.
Since leaving Orb, he saw another Fleur.
In the past, Fleur was like a rich young lady, who lived in fine clothes and food every day, and never touched the spring water with her fingers.
But now, she has really changed.
During the war, she called for peace during the war and did her best for peace. Even though she faced the threat of death several times, she still did not flinch.
When the Eurasian Federation was in rebellion, she not only had to give speeches to appease the anger of the people, but also led the Lord Angel around to stop the battlefield.
Now, after disaster strikes, she continues to be on the front line of disaster relief.
As someone who has been watching her, Kira knows very well that Fleur is not doing it for show, but is truly participating in the rescue from the bottom of her heart.
Even without those reporters and without those spotlights, she was still participating in the rescue.
At the same time, she not only has to go around to collect supplies, but also has to give speeches to appease people's emotions, and she also has to discuss her attitude towards plants with politicians.
After her argument, the Atlantic Federation gave up the idea of directly going to war with Plant, and turned to the second best hope that Plant would hand over the people involved in the case.
Although the final answer to this option has been revealed in advance by Hills Satie, it is at least a hope, right?

Noel drove down the coastal road.
The evening sky has been dyed as red as blood. Because of the dust, it will take a long time to see the cloudless sky again.
Below the road is a whole stretch of sandy beach, with waves lapping at the shallows regularly.
Seeing a few figures on the shoal, Noel slowly slowed down the speed of the car.
Among the playful little figures, there was a figure stroking her long pink hair. Seeing her smiling face, the clouds in Noel's heart because of Junius also dissipated a lot.
After a while.
The girl with long pink hair found Noel standing at the edge of the road.
She said something to the woman with long black hair, and after leaving the children in the care of the other party, the girl walked slowly on the beach and was blown by the sea breeze.
Lux came to Noel's side and didn't ask any questions. She just stood aside quietly holding her hair blown by the sea breeze.
"There's going to be a war."
After a while, the thousands of words in Noel's heart merged into one boring sentence.
"Yeah." Lux nodded, not denying the answer to the question.
"You know, I actually have a chance to prevent Junius from falling." Noel asked.
Hearing this, Lux turned her head and looked at Noel.
Seeing Noel's wandering eyes, Lux reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Noel's brows.
Noel looked down at Lux and said calmly: "I have been thinking about the meaning of my appearance in this world these days."
"War, Peace, New Man, Adjuster, Natural Man——"
"I didn't save anyone, I didn't save anything."
"I didn't change anything and I didn't gain anything."
"It seems that I have been drifting with the flow since I emerged, and I was ignorantly moving along with the current of this world."
"I want to change, but I don't dare to change. I want to move forward, but I'm afraid to move forward."
At this point, Noel paused, looked at Lux's face and smiled: "Tell me, what is the meaning of my appearance in this world?"
Since the problem of genetic collapse in the body was solved, Noel actually thought that his mission would end like this.
From beginning to end, he regarded himself as an ordinary person, an ordinary person without any characteristics.
It's just that he was unfortunately chosen by fate to come to this world, and then unfortunately became the experimental subject of a certain plan.
So he doesn't want to change anything, nor does he want to gain anything, he just wants to live simply.
After all, this world has not had much to do with him from the beginning. He has always been an alien in this world, both in soul and body.
But as he struggled, he changed from an ordinary person to the Red Death, to ZAFT's hero, and even to Lux's boyfriend.
In fact, Noel was really relieved when he took off his ZAFT uniform.
The world has returned to normal, and the aliens have disappeared.
Just wait quietly for the world to follow its original path to the end.
Then he can quietly spend this perfect life with the glory of ZAFT hero and the name of Lux's boyfriend.
But Junius's fall, Sator's final farewell, all these things made Noel's heart ripples.
If he was just an ordinary person, then all this would not seem to matter. After all, he was just an ordinary person.
But he is no longer an ordinary person, and has escaped the category of ordinary people.
He had the opportunity to prevent the tragedy from happening, but instead allowed it to happen.
Yes, the world is back to normal and everything is moving along its original path.
War, then peace—
So what does all this have to do with yourself?
What is the meaning of my own appearance?
"Did Noel suddenly start to yearn for philosophy?"
After Lux smiled and made a joke, she reached out to hold Noel's arm and smiled: "Actually, the answer to this question has never appeared. In other words, we exist because we don't know why."
Noel fell silent upon hearing this.
Seeing that Noel didn't speak, Lux's expression suddenly became angry and said, "Is it because you came to see me after so long just to ask me this kind of question?"
"Um... I can't find anyone to talk to about this issue."
Noel looked at Lux's somewhat dangerous expression and replied quickly.
"Really? Then I'm really honored." Lux narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.
"Ahem, it's getting late today. Let's go back to eat first. Don't keep them waiting."
Seeing this, Noel quickly changed the subject.
Lux's dark side attribute is slightly higher.
"Sure enough, people's hearts are fickle."
Lux shook her head and sighed with emotion, and said with a melancholy expression: "Noel is no exception."
"No, I came to see you as soon as I arrived in Orb. How can I say that people's hearts are changeable?" Noel quickly replied.
"And then you asked me about the meaning of my existence?" Lux asked.
"...I'm sorry I was wrong."
You must admit when you have made a mistake, and you must stand upright when you are beaten.
"Then do you know where you went wrong?" Lux continued to ask.
Noel was stunned. If he wasn't sure that the Lux in front of him was the real Lux, he would have thought that Lux had traveled through time.
Didi——
Just when Noel didn't know what to do, a whistle suddenly sounded from behind.
"Aslan?"
"Lux, Noel?"
"Aslan, come and play too."
Seeing this, Noel hurriedly smiled and waved to Aslan, his expression as enthusiastic as possible.
Seeing this, Lux held Noel's arm slightly harder, smiled and glanced at him sideways.
"Ahem, what about that? The weather is so nice."
Noel was agitated and said awkwardly.
"????"
Aslan looked at the two of them confused.
