"The casualties caused by the demonstrations have exceeded thousands, and the Equator coalition government stated..."
"Due to the remarks made by the President of the Atlantic Federation on the 18th, the Speaker of the South African Community also yesterday..."
"Faced with this statement, Speaker of the Plant Colony Supreme Council Speaker Gilbert Durandal spoke again last night, saying: The Plant Colony will make every effort..."
"Fierce fighting continues in western Eurasia. In order to reduce the damage to neighboring cities, the commander-in-chief of the Eurasian Army's frontline has decided to dispatch three additional divisions of ground troops..."
"In order to ease the fighting in western Eurasia, Miss Frey Alsta will go to western Eurasia together with the crew of the Archangel and the Eurasian frontline troops..."
Cagalli looked away and stopped looking at the screen, feeling sad and depressed.
The split screen on the bridge screen broadcasts news from various countries around the world.
Holding a coffee cup in one hand, Andrew sat in front of the big TV wall and sighed.
"Broadcasting these boring news all day long is really——"
Hidden under a fjord in Scandinavia, the Archangel receives the latest news through a buoy antenna on the sea.
However, what has happened in the past few days is that the world situation has become increasingly difficult.
"...Isn't there some cheerful news that makes people feel better?"
Andrew muttered, and Ma Liu, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but joked: "Like the white dolphin in the aquarium gave birth to a baby dolphin or something?"
"It doesn't have to be like that..."
Cagalli, who was still listening to the news silently, suddenly realized something and asked:
"But... I always feel a little strange... How is the battle between them and the colonies going? Why is there only news about the chaos within the Union Army on TV?"
These days, the news they receive is almost all about civil wars, protests, or regional disputes on Earth.
At first glance, it seemed as if the Union Army had completely forgotten who their opponent was.
"The colonies are not much better, it has always been the same."
Lux said, switching the channel on one of the screens, and a gorgeous concert scene immediately appeared on the screen.
Lux on the stage - no, a girl who looked exactly like Lux was receiving enthusiastic cheers from the audience. It seemed like a labor performance.
"Dear brave ZAFT soldiers——"
The girl shouted loudly and waved in response to the cheers from the audience.
"For the sake of peace, we will work harder! Everyone, please be more careful—!"
It sounded serious, but Lux would never say such a thing.
The girl in the picture made this statement as if Lux had turned into a cheap singer who wanted to impress the public.
“Everyone is so energetic and seems to be very happy!”
Looking at 'myself' Lux on the screen, she smiled sweetly, but her tone was a little cold and she said with a kind smile: "Noel and Aslan had a very happy chat with her back then."
Chandra, who was sitting next door, felt Lux's rare anger and subconsciously shrank her head in surprise.
"Forehead····"
Cagalli was silent for a moment, glanced at the girl on the screen, and showed a disgusted expression: "By the way, do you think this is really okay?"
Andrew shrugged: "That's all we can do for now, we can't act rashly, otherwise the news about us here will be leaked, which will not only be detrimental to the current situation, but also unjustifiable to Scandinavia, which is kind enough to protect us."
They are currently hiding in the Kingdom of Scandinavia, which was once a neutral country.
Although the country also formed an alliance with the United Earth like Orb, the royal family itself did not like this decision, and therefore was willing to secretly assist the Archangel.
The Scandinavian royal family has always had a close relationship with the Orb family.
"But you can't always hide here, right? Orb also has some things to do... I..."
When she thought of the country thousands of miles away, she felt restless.
But Lux replied: "The news is not clear enough."
"yes……"
Malu also said, thinking:
"...Although the fall of Junius caused serious casualties to the earth, the attitude of the colonies after that was very sincere and humane. On the contrary, these United Nations acted like idiots."
"Is it a blue cosmos?"
Andrew corrected her.
Maru raised her face and smiled.
"Yes - but Speaker Durandal is really capable. The coalition launched an unbelievable first wave of attacks. Instead of seeking revenge, he was able to appease the people and the parliament and only carried out a minimum defensive war... …”
When Ma Liu said this, he shrugged: "The other party doesn't look like a bad person at all -"
"Actually, I also think Speaker Durandal is a very good leader."
Cagalli also nodded with a complicated expression and replied: "——Or that's what I originally thought, before I knew about the assassination of Lux... and this matter."
As she spoke, she turned her attention to the pink-haired girl singing on the screen.
It was only after she boarded the Archangel that she heard that Lux had been assassinated. At first, she couldn't understand why.
But after seeing the picture on the screen, she seemed to understand somehow.
Not just her, but also Andrew, Malu and others.
Two days later.
After refitting, the Minerva arrived at the Persian Gulf port in the Suez region smoothly.
At the same time, the inspection work of each MS is also being stepped up in the hangar.
"Ah~ Those people at the headquarters are so lucky. Lux Klein hasn't had a live concert for a long time! I really want to see it live too!"
"However, I think her singing style seems to have changed. Although the way she looks now is the style I used to like, I always feel that she has changed. I don't know whether it is because she has become younger or...she has become more and more cuter recently. ,right?"
At this moment, Aslan and Noel appeared in the hangar.
Listening to their conversation, Aslan looked at Noel subconsciously. After all, Lux——
And Noel also looked at Aslan subconsciously at this time. The Lux they called——
"Her stage outfit this time is super tight!"
"Yes, yes! It's very tight, so when I squeeze it, wow! Her breasts are so big! Ah~ I must buy this version of her poster——"
"Where are the maintenance records of the Savior Gundam?"
Finally, Aslan, who was still shameless, couldn't resist Noel's gaze and said something behind them, which made the two of them suddenly jump up.
"Ah...uh, uh, here!"
Wei Nuo broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly displayed the information on the screen.
"Thanks."
After Aslan finished speaking, he silently compared the checklist in his hand.
Vino and Youlan looked timidly at the side and peeked at his face. It wasn't until Aslan finished checking and walked away as if nothing had happened that they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Lux, does it look good?"
At this moment, Noel appeared out of nowhere and said faintly.
"ah?"
"Captain Noel?"
Vino and Youlan were startled, but after listening to Noel's answer.
Vino said sadly: "Of course she's good-looking, but Lux is his fiancee... I'm so envious!"
"I'm jealous--"
"With a fiancée like this, death is worth it."
"That good looks, that figure, wow——"
"Hmm~~"
Noel felt inexplicably happy when he heard this.
But I heard Youlan complaining sourly: "It's so good that pigs can't get enough of the cabbage——"
"Um?"
"That's right, I don't know-"
Bang bang——
Before the two of them could finish speaking, Noel gave each of them a big blow on the back of their head with his backhand.
"Ouch--"
"Captain Noel, what are you doing!"
Vino and Youlan looked at Noel in astonishment.
Weren't we on the same front just now?
But I heard Noel say righteously: "You two really can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour. What do you mean by letting pigs pick up good cabbage? Why don't you pick up the good cabbage wherever it is? You are just jealous!"
"ha?"
"Ah this——"
Noel's words immediately stopped the two of them.
