Zhen borrowed a motorcycle from the base and rode along the coastal road.
The oncoming wind, the sense of speed and the sound of the engine brought sensory satisfaction, and he could focus only on the road, regardless of the scenery on the roadside.
Normally, he would put aside unnecessary distractions and worries at this moment and let himself relax at this moment.
But now, all kinds of thoughts were swirling in his mind, but he couldn't find an outlet.
The truths he learned during the Speaker's interview yesterday made him feel helpless and empty.
He is fighting a man-made war.
He has never thought about the idea that war will bring benefits to people, because once there is war, not only weapons, but all people and things will be destroyed and lost, including houses, factories, roads or power plants, There is still life in cities and villages.
Those should be incalculable losses.
However, Zhen Asuka thought of what he had been taught in school - what if loss was interpreted as the word consumption?
Expanding consumption will produce economic effects.
What is missing needs to be re-produced, which generates considerable money.
Everything can be reproduced, except life.
――Think about it for yourself, why do we still need power?
Suddenly, the girl's angry scream sounded in her head.
Zhen·Niao was suddenly startled.
That's what Cagalli said to the Speaker.
Why do people have to make murderous weapons? It turned out that she had asked so straightforwardly, and the words that sounded like hypocrisy at the time now made him feel a little heartache.
――You kill someone because you are killed, and you are killed because you kill someone. Can you really get peace in the end like this...?
Aslan said so.
He doesn't understand, he doesn't understand what to do to make the world peaceful.
Since the enemy is coming, of course we have to fight - Zhen Asuka has always had this concept.
Now he knows that this is tantamount to winning the hearts of those death merchants, because it is the agitators who jump out to ask everyone to fight against the enemy.
So, how does peace begin?
——Do not invade other countries, do not allow other countries to invade, and do not intervene in the disputes of other countries.
Orb, who refused the war to the last moment, still lost peace.
He doesn't understand.
If he knew where those LOGOS guys were hiding, he would kill them right away.
He wants them to know how much pain the people who have been "consumed" feel.
But I'm afraid things are not that simple. Even the Speaker said it is not easy.
When we came to the top of a sea cliff, we really stopped the motorcycle.
The waves are crashing under the cliff, and the sea is dotted with towering and strange rocks. The view is wide and the scenery is spectacular.
He took off his helmet and let the sea breeze blow through his slightly sweaty hair. He felt the silence coming from all directions, and a feeling of being isolated from the world emerged spontaneously.
There are faint songs of seabirds in the distance.
Amidst the sound of the waves, a thin song floated in the wind.
Zhen·Asuka looked towards where the sound came from.
He saw a girl singing and dancing.
Her blond hair looked so soft, and her white skirt fluttered lightly in the wind.
On the top of another cliff not far away, the girl held her slender arms high and danced in circles happily. Although her steps were random and random, they were full of vivid joy and beauty.
Asuka was fascinated by it.
The world is obviously so beautiful...
For some reason, my chest really tightened, so I turned my gaze to the sea and sighed.
"ah……"
Hearing a small cry, he inadvertently looked back at the girl, only to find that in just a blink of an eye, the girl's figure disappeared from the cliff, and then the sound of water came from below.
"Where are the people?"
Zhen Feiniao thought of the scream just now, quickly dropped the motorcycle and ran towards the place where the girl had been.
At the same time, find your way along the gaps between the stones.
Until he reached the front of the cliff, he finally saw the little golden head among the waves.
"This is too outrageous? Did you actually fall?"
Zhen Feiniao leaned out from the cliff in shock and saw the girl struggling desperately in the sea, but the waves still hit her and covered her head.
Then she stopped floating.
"You... you can't swim and why are you coming to the beach to play?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhen Feiniao hurriedly took off his shirt and jumped down without hesitation. After a second of blankness, the sea hit him like it was biting him.
He surfaced first and dived towards the sea surface where the girl last disappeared. Soon he saw her figure slowly sinking.
Zhen Asuka struggled to pull out the water and moved forward, reaching out to grab the girl's body, then picked her up by the waist and swam toward the water.
The girl's hands and feet were kicking and clawing at his face and legs, but he had no time to feel the pain now.
It didn't take long for the two of them to surface.
The girl was already frightened, waving her hands around trying to catch Zhen.
She was too strong for a girl.
When she caught him, Zhen Feiniao was almost dragged into the water again.
"Damn it! Calm down!"
Tasting the saltiness of the sea water, Zhen Asuka still tried his best to tell her, but the girl didn't care at all and still struggled hard, and Zhen Asuka's face was scratched by her nails.
That does not work. He really had no choice but to let go of her, dive into the water again, then go around to the back of the girl, hold her firmly from behind with one hand so that she couldn't move, and then bring her back to the surface.
After holding on to the girl who finally stopped moving, Zhen successfully swam to a shoal.
With his help, the girl climbed up the beach with staggering steps, choking and coughing from time to time.
She wanted to walk to the rocks, but her feet were probably cramped or she was tired from struggling. She accidentally fell into the shallow water without even making a cry.
The cheek she had scratched just now suddenly started to sting.
Zhen Asuka couldn't help but yelled: "You want to die! Idiot!"
The girl shrank in horror.
"You can't even swim, yet you dare to run around in a place like that! Why are you so dazed..."
Zhen Asuka kept cursing and felt that the girl's reaction was not quite right. When he raised his eyes and looked up, he saw that her lips were blue and her whole body was trembling.
"Ah...ah...don't..."
She backed away in fear, her discolored lips moaning.
"Death... don't..."
"What……?"
Zhen·Asuka leaned her face towards him in confusion and impatientness.
As soon as she saw him approaching, the girl jumped up.
"don't want!"
She stepped on the shallow water and ran out, as if escaping from reality.
"What are you doing? Ah, hey! Wait a minute! What's wrong...?"
I was really dumbfounded by her actions. I could only stand and watch as she tripped over the water, got up and stumbled away again.
"No...I don't want to die...! It's so scary!"
"No, I just asked you to wait a moment! Why are you running away?"
She had just saved her life and actually fled to the sea again.
Zhen Feiniao had no choice but to rush over and stop her, otherwise if she drowned in front of him again, wouldn't he have to go down and fish her out again?
Feeling the sting on his face, Asuka ran over quickly.
However, the girl twisted her body desperately to prevent him from grabbing her, and kept screaming.
"I will die! If I get hit by a gun, I will die!"
Who is this girl? ——Zhen Asuka was shocked.
In a sudden flash, the girl's elbow hit his real face firmly, causing his eyes to go white for an instant, and the smell of blood spread in his mouth.
The feeling at this moment was like the white light that burned my parents and sister to death.
"No! No, no..."
The girl staggered into the shallows and fell again after a few steps.
"It's so scary...I'm so afraid of death—!"
Nao Asuka quickly picked up her body.
"Okay, okay, I understand! Don't worry, you won't die!"
Those thin shoulders trembled again. Hug her really tight. Try to calm her down:
"Don't be afraid! I will... I will protect you!"
As soon as these words came out, the girl's stiff body slowly relaxed, and the face of Zhen Asuka was reflected in her big purple eyes.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she burst into tears like a young child.
"I'm sorry...it's all my fault."
Zhen Asuka kept her voice as low as possible and tried to comfort her.
"...Really, I'm sorry...It's okay, stop crying...ok?"
The girl clung to Zhen's body, still crying.
This girl must have encountered something terrible before, maybe it was during the time of the war.
Zhen·Asuka has heard someone say that many people have been traumatized by the war and have been unable to recover.
Such a poor girl, and she almost lost her life just now, yet he was so cruel to her, fearing that she would become like this.
Zhen Feiniao felt a little guilty for a moment.
"Don't be afraid... don't be afraid. You will be fine..."
He spoke softly, gazing intently at the girl's face.
"I will protect you well..."
The girl still looked up at Zhen in horror. Her purple eyes were wet with tears, but they exuded an innocent and flawless light, as bright as gems.
Such fragile and delicate beauty made Zhen Asuka speechless for a moment.
"protect me……?"
Intermittently, the girl repeated this sentence.
"Um."
Shin Asuka said firmly, with a sacred heart.
"So...you don't have to be afraid anymore. You won't die, you won't...!"
Making such a promise may seem like nonsense. There is no one who is immortal in this world.
However, at this moment, Zhen Asuka also missed what he said.
He secretly vowed that he would use everything he had to protect this life that seemed likely to disappear at any time.
The girl held up the real hand with both hands and placed it on her fair cheek, as if to confirm the feeling.
"Protect……?"
I felt her delicate and warm skin in my palm, and I really smiled at her.
"Well...protection."
The girl closed her eyes in intoxication, and her expression gradually became peaceful. I really held my breath and watched the changes in her expression, and was so moved that I wanted to cry.
There was a feeling that was filling his heart, and it was filling up bit by bit. What's this……?
The two returned to the shore and walked to the rocks.
I don't know whether it was because she was cold or because she was still afraid, but the girl kept trembling.
Zhen took out a handkerchief, wrung it out, and wiped her hair that was still dripping.
"Are you okay? Are you cold? Ah."
He found that the girl's ankle was bleeding and quickly squatted down.
"Did you get cut by the stone...does it hurt?"
He really asked her, but she didn't answer as if she let him make the decision, and just looked at him with an innocent expression. A desire for protection really aroused in my heart. The only one who can protect this girl now is myself.
He wrung out the handkerchief again, pressed it against the bleeding wound, and tied it up. After temporarily performing first aid measures, I really stood up and looked around.
"But, what should we do now...?"
This is a small fjord rocky shore. On both sides of where they are are cliffs towering like screens. The cliff walls are more than 90 degrees. Even as an adjuster, it is difficult for him to climb up by hand.
Following this rocky land, the path was soon blocked by a cliff. There was no other way to go around the cliff. It seemed that the only way was to swim to the sea again and find another place to go ashore?
"But this girl can't swim..."
The girl followed Zhen with pure eyes, seemingly unaware of the situation they were in.
Zhen smiled at her to prevent her from being flustered for no reason, and then pulled out the necklace hanging from his neck.
At the bottom of the chain hangs his identification tag and a small emergency transmitter, which can be used to report his location when he encounters an emergency in battle or other situations.
"I don't know how I will be scolded when the time comes...Hey, never mind."
Literally snap the transmitter machine in half. In fact, this thing can only be used in real emergencies, but at least he really can't return to the team on his own now. The signal may be unstable in a neutron interference environment, but it should still be able to reach the mothership parked at the Deokia base, right?
All we have to do again is wait.
I really looked behind the stone ground, and there seemed to be a small cave there. It didn't matter if there was nothing else, at least it could be sheltered from the wind.
Watching Mana walking around, the girl's eyes were still so innocent.
Stella stared blankly at the dancing tongues of fire. After she fell into the sea, the boy who rescued her ran to pick up driftwood and then made this fire.
The fire kept burning, occasionally bursting out with incredible blue and green light.
The boy can do many things well, including swimming and making fires.
He tied a piece of cloth on Stella's wound so that the wound would stop bleeding, just like a doctor in a research institute.
Moreover, he also said that he would protect Stella.
They took off their clothes and spread them out by the fire to dry.
Just like when she was with Stink and the others, Stella also took off her dress, but for some reason, when the boy saw that she was only wearing shorts, he blushed and turned away from her.
"You...live here?"
The boy asked as they sat back to back.
When she touched his skin, her body heat spread over her.
"Where's the name?...Do you understand it?"
He spoke slowly and gently. She understands this.
"Name...Stella. Lives, don't know."
There was a hint of confusion in the boy's voice.
"So, who do you usually hang out with? Where are your parents?"
"'Together' are...Al, Sting, Preia, Niya...Mom and Dad...don't know."
Hearing Stella's answer, the boy's voice became sad.
"...That's it. Then you must have encountered terrible things, right?"
"'horrible'?"
Stella looked at the boy in panic.
In fact, she is still afraid.
From the moment she heard the word "death", she would be afraid until she fell asleep.
The young man turned his head nervously: "Ah, I'm sorry. Don't be afraid now! I will - well, this, I will stay here to protect you, and I won't leave."
When she heard him say this, her heart suddenly lit up with warmth.
"Protect Stella?...I won't die?"
"Well! Don't worry, you won't die!"
The boy looked directly into Stella's eyes and said. Seeing his eyes, Stella's heart jumped.
How amazing. When she was first scolded by him, Stella thought he was so scary, and his eyes were as red as fire, and he said the word that Stella hated.
But then he hugged her again and said to her: Stella will not die. He will protect her.
Protecting her didn't even know what it meant before, but now she knew.
Protection means that she will not die, and it means that she is so warm and gentle, just like the feeling when she was hugged tightly by a boy.
"Ah, my name is Zhen."
The boy suddenly remembered and said, "My name is Zhen Asuka. Do you know?"
"real……?"
Stella read along in a low voice. The young man - he seemed to be really happy and smiled.
"Yes, true. Do you remember that?"
Seeing the real smiling face, Stella's heart skipped a beat again.
Incredible.
Although it is a bit "scary", it is also light and comfortable.
The flying birds are so wonderful, she likes them. She also likes Al and Sting, but it's a little different from that kind of liking.
"real……"
She thought about the name carefully.
Stella suddenly thought of something, stood up and ran to the spread clothes.
She searched in the pocket of her skirt and touched something hard and cold.
This pale pink shell is a treasure she picked up on the beach this morning.
She turned around with the shell in hand and found that Zhen was originally looking here. Then she suddenly turned around and looked to the side as if she was frightened.
Stella walked towards him and said "come",
Give him the shell on your palm.
"Hey, this?"
Zhen raised his head and looked at Stella's face, and immediately looked away in a panic, while asking: "Is it for me?"
Zhen Asuka accepted the shell and looked into Stella's eyes this time and smiled.
"……Thanks."
Stella was very happy, she felt more and more like Zhen.
She sat down next to him, originally leaning on his shoulder, but he turned her back awkwardly.
Stella can’t understand him, so what does it matter if he turns around? Only when you turn around can you see his face!
However, as long as you touch his back, you will feel the warmth on his body.
Stella just stared at the fire in silence for a while.
After a while, they put on their clothes.
The skirt was still wet and uncomfortable to wear, but after putting it on, I finally turned around.
"Well...I think someone will be here soon. Don't worry."
Stella was so happy to be able to see her real face that she just smiled.
She is no longer afraid.
As long as she is really by her side, Stella has nothing to fear.
Stella rested her head on Gu's shoulder, and silence surrounded them.
Stella felt this way for the first time since she was born.
I don’t know how long I sat like this, but the sound of the engine gradually came from the sound of the waves, coming closer and closer.
"coming!"
Zhen stood up, ran to the cave entrance and stuck his head out.
Dazzling white light suddenly shone in from outside.
Zhen jumped onto the stone ground outside the cave and shouted loudly to someone.
The sound of engines at sea grew louder.
"You sent me an emergency signal even though you were on vacation. You're a guy who only cares about yourself if nothing happens to you. But if something happens, it's a big deal!"
"team leader!"
The man spoke to Shin, who called out to him.
Stella felt a little uneasy, so she stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
She saw a small boat parked on the other side of the shoal, and a figure stood on the bow talking to Zhen.
The searchlight was bright and dazzling, and the man had his back to the light, so she couldn't see clearly.
"How could something happen to you in a place like this?"
"How could I? Nothing happened to me! I just encountered..."
Stella sneaked over and tried to hide behind Zhen. Zhen was halfway talking to the people on the boat when he noticed her running and turned around, then gently held Stella's hand.
Stella calmed down a little, and when she was talking to the strangers on the boat, she really seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She was afraid that the original person was really gone.
Not long after, the boat put down a rubber boat and took Zhen and Stella to the boat.
The people on the boat brought a blanket and gently wrapped it around Stella. Stella was afraid of those she didn't know, so she stayed close to Zhen's side.
"This girl fell from the cliff into the sea... I rescued her and swam here, but she got trapped..."
After hearing the real explanation, the person who had just spoken to him turned to look at Stella.
"Does she live in Diokia?"
The man was wearing a red uniform, and his black hair was blown by the sea breeze. He was still very young and looked to be about the same age as Stink and the others.
"No, she didn't make it clear..."
Zhen lowered his voice slightly and replied to the person: "Maybe her parents died in the war... I guess she may have been hit hard."
"That's it..."
The man realized something and glanced at Stella again.
The two of them chatted for a while, but Stella couldn't quite understand it, so she couldn't help but shrink up under the blanket and get closer to Zhen.
"...Since we only know her name, we have no choice but to take her to the base and ask them to investigate her identity."
The man in red finished speaking worriedly, then turned back to face the front.
The boat was speeding on the dark sea.
At this moment, Stella heard a familiar voice in the sound of the engine.
"…Stella—!"
Stella suddenly turned her head in the direction of the sound and saw two small figures on the cliff. No
It was already dark, and she could only see shadows.
It's Sting and Al, they're looking for Stella.
Stella looked at the shore wholeheartedly, and asked her hurriedly: "I'm afraid it's impossible from here."
The man in red clothes was sitting in front, looking up at the cliff, and said:
"We can only go back to the base first and then come here. Drive faster!"
It had been more than an hour since the sun went down. Steen slowed down and searched along the coastal road, feeling increasingly anxious.
Nothing could be seen on the sea, but Orr, who was sitting next to him, was still looking toward the coastline, his eyes wide.
"...Really! That big idiot!"
Stink has heard Al's curse at least a dozen times.
It was rare to say that Preia gave the three of them a day off because of their injuries, and said they could do whatever they wanted in an urban area like this.
In fact, it cannot be said to be rare, it is simply unprecedented, so Stella put on her favorite dress and ran to the beach early in the morning.
Just find a place where you can see the sea and throw her away, and that guy won't get tired of playing with it all day long. Even when they are in space, she can keep watching the fish in the small bottle silently.
Just because she was that kind of idiot, Sting and Al didn't think much about it and just left her on the beach and let her go.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the beach to pick her up at dusk, they could not see her figure, so they had no choice but to look for her everywhere.
"Could it be that... there was a thud... and it fell?"
Al muffled something, which made Sting angry: "Don't give me such a bad mouth! If something really happens to Stella, how will we explain it to Preia?"
"But we have been looking for so long and still haven't found it..."
Al only said this and didn't say any more. Although he gave up, his eyes were still looking for the shore without giving up.
Al is impulsive and loves to laugh at people, but he is as worried about Stella as Sting.
After all, the three of them are the only partners who can rely on each other, and they are also the only ones of the same kind.
To them, a partner is something special.
At least they are the same as themselves.
Even Stella, who has always cherished her life with an empty head, is the same.
Just then, a military vehicle came from the opposite lane.
At the moment they met the car, Steen heard someone calling his name in the car and quickly stepped on the brakes.
"ah?"
Al screamed in surprise, and Sting quickly shouted to the back: "Stella!"
The military vehicle also stopped, a few meters away from their car.
Al recognized Stella sitting in the car wrapped in a blanket, and couldn't help but murmured in shock: "Uh, isn't that ZAFT's jeep?"
The two looked at each other immediately. Why was Stella sitting in the enemy's car?
Sting immediately reversed the car and stopped hard and urgently.
"Stella!"
"Sting!"
Stella happily jumped out of the car and ran quickly to Stink who was getting out of the car. She seemed uninjured and not restrained.
Al walked around the car and walked behind Stink and whispered: "Hey, don't mess around. That's ZAFT's red coat. It will be very troublesome if it is killed."
Just as Steen was about to speak, he looked at the figures coming off the jeep and saw that one of them was wearing casual clothes and the other was wearing a red uniform that symbolized the elite.
Stella ran over and hugged him, but her whole body smelled of sea water, so Sting asked her: "What happened to you?"
"She fell into the sea."
A young man in casual clothes came over and answered for her.
He stood behind Stella and smiled very kindly.
"I happened to see it from the side - but it would be great if you guys came. We don't know her identity, so we don't know what to do!"
Sting looked at the red uniform standing behind the young man, guessing that he was about the same age as himself, and his face had the same unwary expression as the young man.
From this point of view, they probably didn't find out the true identities of Stella and themselves. Maybe they thought she was an ordinary citizen, so they rescued her and sent her away in a car.
"I see, that's really embarrassing, thank you."
Sting put on a friendly smile and thanked him so that the other party would not notice his nervousness. Then he glanced sideways and saw Al staring at the red uniform with hostility, so he immediately bumped him with his elbow.
Al was in pain and looked away pretending to be serious.
Sting pretended to smile again and said: "I'm really sorry. Thanks to everyone at ZAFT for taking care of me..."
The two teenagers didn't seem to notice the irony of these words at all.
Their smiles were extremely kind and they accepted his thanks politely.
"No, don't say that - great, Stella, luckily I can find your brother."
"Um."
Stella nodded vigorously, and the ZAFT boy laughed heartily as if he was truly happy for her.
Sting suddenly had a strange idea. They were obviously adjusters, but why did they look almost the same as ordinary people?
The military vehicle turned around and drove back, stopping next to Zaft's boy.
"Then I'll take my leave."
The boy in red bowed slightly to them and sat in the front seat.
The boy in casual clothes followed him to get in the car, but Stella suddenly ran towards him.
"Really...are you leaving?"
"Huh?...Yeah, sorry."
Stella's expression became sad, and the boy looked a little troubled.
"But look...your brothers are here, so you don't have to be afraid, right?"
"Um-…"
Stella thought for a moment, but still looked at the boy reluctantly.
Sting was secretly furious.
Stella, this guy, actually became familiar with her in just a short while!
That guy is an enemy!
But seeing that the young man in the car seemed to be infected by Stella's emotions, his expression also looked reluctant.
"Uh, well... we will meet again, definitely..."
"It's time to go, really. Do you hear me?"
The man in red uniform urged in a superior tone.
The car started to move, and Stella ran after him for two or three steps, and the boy named Zhen also leaned out of the car.
"Sorry, Stella! But I will definitely, really... we will meet again! No, I will go find you!"
The boy kept shouting until the car turned the corner and disappeared.
Stella stood on the road in a daze, staring in that direction.
"real……"
It looked like a puppy abandoned by its owner. Sting got angry when he saw it and got into the car.
"I really lost to her! It's so scary, I can't stand it!"
Al suddenly became cheerful and clamored to get into the front seat.
Sting was thinking in his mind.
See you again - how could this be possible?
If Stella really meets that kid again, it will definitely be on the battlefield.
As a hostile——
But for some reason, thinking of her conversation and expression with him, he felt a little irritated, angry, and sad.
The fire in his heart just couldn't go away, but when he saw Stella still standing there motionless, Steen couldn't help but shouted sharply: "Stella! Hey, we have to leave!"
After a long while, Stella walked towards them with a lonely expression.
An unfamiliar handkerchief tied around her ankle caught Sting's eye.
Is it that boy's thing?
Recalling the conversation between the two and Stella's last look, for some reason, Sting subconsciously prayed that the two of them would not meet again, at least not in this world.
