"What! Real or fake?"
After receiving the order to sail, Asuka walked into the saloon and heard Vino yelling there.
"Isn't it because of it? Not only Noel and Aslan, but also the captain has become a man of faith?"
Mei Ling sat on the chair with a drink and nodded affirmatively to Vino: "Well, it seems that it will be officially released soon. The deputy captain is very happy!"
"Wow!"
For some reason, Vino was also very happy.
Zhen Asuka was secretly surprised by this big news, but deliberately looked away with a straight face.
At this time, Youlan answered with a somewhat bored tone: "...What does this have to do with the deputy captain?"
"Hey, does it have nothing to do with him?"
Vino leaned forward and asked in surprise: "Isn't there a vice-captain? Hey... what about us?"
"It's impossible! You understand, the award of faith is only for individuals!"
"What, personally, doesn't that have nothing to do with us?"
Seeing the disappointment on Vino's face, Yolan sighed even more impatiently: "You are also a ZAFT soldier after all, how come you don't even know this? You really... only have a remarkable personal record, and you also have to be qualified in terms of character. , and then only those approved by the Council or Speaker can be awarded!"
Listening to Youlan's explanation, Zhen Feiniao felt more and more upset.
Qualified in terms of character? That guy Aslan can actually get such a high rating!
Let's not mention Noel for the moment. After all, he has the aura of a plant hero, so it is not a surprise to receive the Faith Medal.
But Aslan, a guy who is lying around like a grassroots...!
Just as he was thinking this, he remembered that Aslan had stayed until the last moment when assisting in the explosion of Julius 7.
While Zhen Feiniao was thinking wildly in his mind, Youlan on the side was still saying triumphantly: "...and they have higher authority than the mission commander, so when operating on the front line, they can also directly file combat cases, and even Give orders for the execution of the battle plan!”
"Wow!"
Wei Nuo was stunned for a moment.
However, in fact, faith must also obey the instructions of the mission commander, and may have higher command authority than the commander only when expediency requires.
For example, the commander's instructions may not reflect the situation on the front line in time, so members of faith can make orders that violate the instructions at this time.
Therefore, conversely, only those with such judgment can be selected as faith.
"I am a super elite who directly belongs to the Council. How can I have anything to do with you?"
Stung by Youlan's contemptuous tone, Wei Nuo replied angrily: "You are not the same."
Youlan probably had to admit this heartbreaking fact.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Faith Medal will only be awarded to frontline combatants. As for the logistics members... don't even think about it in this life.
Ignoring the nonsense of the teenagers, Meiling raised her head with longing on her face and muttered words, as if she was intoxicated with admiration and yearning.
"Super elite..."
Seeing Mei Ling's infatuation, Zhen Asuka directly threw the drink bag into the trash can and left the saloon.
In fact, Meiling is also a lovely girl, but it's a pity that... she has this problem.
————
Under the deep sea, the submersible Archangel began to gradually surface.
After packing their personal belongings, Noel and Aslan carried two suitcases and walked along the passage towards the hangar.
Because of the robbery, the two of them were already one day later than the scheduled time.
If it continues to drag on - it's not impossible, but there is Aslan.
"Um?"
However, at the fork in the passage, a pink figure stood there with Cagalli, who kept tilting her head and looking back.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed subtly.
Noel looked at Aslan subconsciously, and saw that the expression on the other person's face was a little——
I heard that Cagalli and Aslan had a big fight the day they boarded the ship, and it seems they haven't reconciled yet.
With this thought, Noel patted Aslan on the shoulder and walked over, waved to Lux and said with a smile: "Are you so reluctant to let us go? You even came to see me and Aslan off."
The originally good atmosphere was instantly shattered.
The smile on Lux's face froze subconsciously.
"Hey, sometimes I really don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid."
Lux gave a rare sigh.
"What are you afraid of? If a couple quarrels at the end of the bed, what's the big deal?"
Noel said bluntly.
Aslan's body stiffened subconsciously as he followed Noel.
"Who wants to be husband and wife with him?"
However, before Aslan could speak, Cagalli yelled.
Aslan had a gloomy expression on his face when he heard this.
Looking at Cagalli's flushed face, the gloom on Aslan's face gradually disappeared. He just smiled and shook his head, and said in a somewhat lonely tone: "Noel, I'll go there first."
After saying that, Aslan walked straight forward.
"I, I didn't mean that... I... Oh, Aslan -"
Cagalli saw this and trotted after her.
Seeing the two people leaving, Noel couldn't help but scratch his head: "This is what happened."
Is this the so-called world line closing?
Aslan and Cagalli really can't get together?
Lux didn't say anything after hearing this, but just stretched out her hand to straighten Noel's collar.
Touching the ZAFT Army logo on her clothes, Lux showed a hint of loneliness on her face.
"If you don't want me to go there, I don't have to leave."
Noel looked at Lux's expression and said seriously.
Lux froze subconsciously after hearing this. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "Everyone has their own path. Your path is not mine."
"What's the meaning?"
Noel frowned and asked.
"You still have unfinished business in ZAFT. That is the redemption that can only be completed in ZAFT."
Lux raised her head and replied.
"Um·····??"
Noel couldn't understand it for a moment.
Redemption?
What redemption?
"I'm sorry, for some reasons, there are some things I can't tell you directly right now."
When Lux said this, her expression was extremely sincere, but there was a hint of anxiety.
"hehe."
Seeing the anxiety in Lux's eyes, Noel suddenly laughed, reached out and hugged Lux to his chest, and said: "Because of you, I now have the meaning of fighting, so just do whatever you want. There’s no need to feel any mental burden.”
Did Lux really have no plan in this war——
the answer is negative.
As the one who really had the last laugh, it would be an insult to Durandal if she did nothing.
But no matter what she did, Noel believed her ultimate purpose was the right one.
It is enough for you to know this and believe this.
Lux didn't say anything after hearing this, but slowly closed her eyes, twisted her head slightly on Noel's chest, and quietly experienced this rare comfort and peace of mind.
The future is the future because it is full of uncertainty.
So she cherishes every day and every moment she spends with Noel.
"By the way, I almost forgot."
At this moment, Noel suddenly thought of something and broke the silence with a voice.
"What's wrong?"
Lux's face showed obvious displeasure, but she still looked at Noel with concern.
"Although this is a bit untimely, I really can't seem to find a better time."
As Noel spoke, he took out a small gift box from his coat and said, "This is a gift in return for you."
"Return gift?"
Lux looked confused.
Noel opened the gift box without saying a word and took out a ring.
In Lux's eyes that gradually became dull.
Noel picked up her wrist and put the ring on her ring finger.
"As expected of me, I have good vision."
Listening to Noel's words, Lux did not answer, but just looked at the ring on her hand blankly.
"Okay, it's getting late, I'll leave first."
After Noel finished speaking, he kissed Lux gently on the forehead, who had not yet reacted, picked up the suitcase and left quickly.
Stroking the ring on her ring finger, Lux watched Noel's hurried away figure, and a happy smile gradually appeared on her face.
