Chapter 265 Kira's Cry (Extra Chapter for Chu Fengzhi!)
Kira was in pain. He was not Yang Hui, a young man with a mature soul in his body. He was not Lacus, who had lived in a complex environment since childhood and needed to constantly disguise himself. He could not bear all this. It was too heavy. At this moment, Kira felt that the whole world had abandoned him.
"Ah!!!!"
"Kira! Are you okay?"
After hearing Yang Hui's words, Miliariya chased after him. On the way, she met Kaz and heard Kira's crying and shouting. Only then did they realize that the identity of the adjuster did not bring happiness to Kira, but brought him great pain. They also realized how much pressure Kira was carrying on his shoulders.
Saiyi was also worried about Kira, but he also had to take care of Frey, so he could only entrust his share to Miliariya.
"Kaz... Mirialia..."
"Kira..."
"I don't know what to do... I really don't know what to do! So what if I'm an adjuster? It's not like I want to be an adjuster! I don't want to fight! Not at all! But there's no way! You're on this ship too! Yang Hui is on this ship too! I want to protect you! Only I can protect you! But... why... why on earth!?"
"Kira..."
Miriaria and Kaz were upset, but they couldn't share Kira's pain, and they didn't want Kira to fight alone, otherwise they wouldn't have volunteered to work on the bridge.
But... anyone who has seen it knows how difficult it is to drive a MS to fight. Kira is an adjuster, but he's not a soldier. In order to protect them, he was forced to drive the Strike Gundam to fight on the front line. Who can understand his pain? Who can understand his pressure?
"It's okay, Kira, whether you're an adjuster or not, we're friends, companions, and the best companions." Mirialia comforted.
"That's right, Kira, although we can't drive a MS, we will fight with you." Kaz persuaded.
"Kaz... Miria..."
"So Kira... It's okay, cry, vent, we will accompany you."
"Kira, you are not alone."
"Wuwuwu... Ah~!!!!"
Kira found his companions and the harbor to return to. He could finally vent all the pain in his heart and cried while hugging Kaz.
At the edge of the corner, Yang Hui saw this and left with peace of mind. It was not that he didn't care about Kira, but he couldn't comfort Kira. Yang Hui was the culprit for Kira's becoming like this, and Kira would not confide in him, let alone vent to him.
Only Thor, Saiyi, Kaz and Miria could help Kira.
After crying for about a few minutes, Kira's heart gradually calmed down.
"Thank you, thank you, Kaz, Miria."
"Don't be so polite, Kira, we are companions, aren't we?"
"That's right, don't mind what Frey said, she's just too sad, after you left, she said the same thing to Yang Hui, so she's not targeting you..."
"Frey... Yang Hui..."
"Well, it's Yang Hui, but Yang Hui deserves it, after all, he brought us on board, and also..."
"Kaz!" Miria stopped Kaz, although she didn't like Yang Hui's behavior, but now was not the time to say these things, don't forget that Kira and Yang Hui are also friends.
"Uh... sorry."
"No, it's nothing, but you misunderstood Yang Hui, he's not that kind of person, Yang Hui cares about his companions more than anyone else." Kira wiped his tears and explained for Yang Hui.
"Eh? But he..."
Then Kira told Kaz and Miria all of Lacus's explanations to him.
"Eh? Is that so?"
"I'm sorry, Kira, we shouldn't..."
"Yang Hui...has taken on much more than us, but he won't tell anyone else. The reason I chose to continue driving the MS to fight is because I want to share some of the burden for him..." Kira said, looking at the boundless starry sky outside the window.
"Is that so..."
"Maybe it's because his position is too high, Yang Hui...is really ashamed."
"He won't care about these, but Frey..."
"It's not your fault, Kira." Seeing Kira start to blame himself again, Milia and Kaz immediately persuaded him.
"No, I...I may not have really fought seriously..." Kira blamed himself.
"Eh?"
"What happened?"
Kaz and Milia exclaimed.
"Actually..." Then, Kira told all the stories about how he and Aegis pilot Aslan were friends, how they met in [Heliopolis], and how he hesitated during the battle. He had kept this secret in his heart for too long, and he felt that if he didn't say it out loud, he would be sorry for Kaz's trust.
"So... that's how it is..." Kaz and Miria were speechless, and could only sigh that fate was playing tricks on them, and good friends became enemies when they met again.
They did not blame Kira for this. If it were them, they might also hesitate and be distressed. Moreover, Kira is an adjuster, Aslan is also an adjuster, and PLANT is the country of adjusters. Instead of being looked down upon on this ship, they might have directly surrendered to the enemy.
"It's okay, Kira, we don't blame you."
"Yes, it must have been painful for you to fight with that... man named Aslan? Sorry, we didn't know it all along."
"No, no, no, you don't need to apologize, Kaz, Miria, really, it's my fault for not telling you, but it feels much better after I told you." Kira smiled, and he hadn't had a sunny smile on his face for a long time.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Kira, just remember that we are the best companions, that's enough."
"Yeah, me too."
"Alas, who could have thought that the first half of the journey was safe, and it suddenly became so dangerous when it was attacked, even the advance fleet... Alas."
"But Kira, did you see the mercenaries that Yang Hui found? Their machines!"
"Yeah... I saw them."
"It feels like the Strike, and they are all so powerful, even more powerful than you, Kira." Katz exclaimed.
Not only Katz, but everyone on the bridge at that time saw that the Astray Gundam Blue Machine of Congyun He, the Exiah of Setsuna, the Cherubim of Lyle, and the De Angel of Tieria, four MSs that were extremely similar to the Strike Gundam suddenly appeared, and they all showed powerful combat power, which no one could ignore.
"Well... maybe..." Although he had a guess, Kira suddenly stopped talking.
"What is it?" Miliaria and Kaz asked. They were very curious, even if it was just a guess.
"Nothing, let's go, I'm fine."
"Really, Kira, why are you hiding it from us again!"
"That's right! Where are the companions you promised to meet! You guy..."
"Ahaha..."
...
Kira was questioned by Kaz and Miliaria, and Yang Hui, who had just filled his stomach, was also called by Malu, Bakilu and Mu, just for the four new MSs.
"Don't you have anything to say about these four machines?" Bakilu called up the images of the four machines and asked Yang Hui.
"What? Is this an interrogation?" Yang Hui asked Bakilu.
"Of course..."
"Of course not, Yang Hui, we are just curious. If you don't want to say it, we won't force you. Of course, you know the procedure, and we will report it truthfully." Malu interrupted Bakilu and explained to Yang Hui.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong to say. I remember I told you about this machine, right?" Yang Hui pointed at the Blue Gundam Astray and said to Baki Lulu.
Baki Lulu certainly recognized this machine. It was the same model she had seen at the Scrap Recycling Merchants' Union before. She didn't want to ask about this machine, but about the other three. They were not from the same series.
"I'm not talking about this one."
"Then you have to ask them. They are mercenaries. We are just a commissioned relationship." Yang Hui said shamelessly.
"You!"
Mercenaries? Commissioned relationship? Did you assume we were not present when you contacted the emperor?
"Forget it, Natal." Malu rubbed his painful brows and said, asking Baki Lulu not to delve into it. Since Yang Hui didn't want to say it, he would definitely not get an answer.
Mu knew the least among the three people present, but he was also a veteran in the army. He saw the problem at a glance, but he would not delve into it. He had served in the army for so many years and knew a truth: the less you know, the better.
"Yang Hui..."
"Sorry, I can't tell you."
Baki Lulu's eyes were no longer stubborn and coercive, but a request. She asked Yang Hui not to hide herself. She wanted to know the answer.
But Yang Hui would not tell her. This was related to the secrets of Orb. If Yang Hui told them, would Yang Hui be a traitor? Or would Malu, Baki Lulu and Mu betray the Atlantic Federation?
"...I know."
It was a common helpless answer, but Yang Hui clearly found that there was a hint of alienation in Baki Lulu's answer, and even the state of facing Yang Hui was more unfamiliar.
"If it's okay, I'll leave first."
"Thank you for your hard work." Malu said.
Yang Hui waved his hand with his back to them, but before leaving, he reminded them: "Remember my identity, don't get too close to me, especially now."
After that, he left, and the back figure that was left in their sight at last had a sad meaning.
"Damn it!" After Yang Hui left, Baki Lulu punched Malu's desk, "What does he mean? What does it mean to get too close? We are not the same kind of people! So after using him, there is no connection?"
"Natal..." Malu and Mu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They were very calm and understood what Yang Hui meant. It was not that he didn't want to be associated with us, but he reminded us not to be associated with him.
"We are the Earth Army." Mu reminded Baki Lulu.
"..."
"And he... is a high-ranking official in Orb." Malu added.
No matter how stupid Baki Lulu was, she understood what Malu and Mu meant, and also understood what Yang Hui meant. This was to protect them.
"Tsk..." Although she was very unhappy, Baki Lulu felt a sense of warmth for some reason.
"Okay, let's stop here for now. The next thing is the return of Lacus Klein. Be prepared."
"...Understood."
"Understood, really, what is this all about."
Thanks to Chu Fengzhi for the 5,000 reward, love you, muah! (Ugh~ Sorry, I made myself sick.)
