Chapter 296 The Danger that Approaches Quietly
"We have entered the sea. This is the Red Sea."
Leaving the scorching yellow sand, we entered the blue ocean. The fresh breath of life came to our faces. The sea breeze blew, the blue waves rippled, and the dolphins seemed to open the door to welcome guests. They jumped for joy as the Archangel moved forward.
"I allow everyone to take turns to stay on the deck for a while, and notify all places in the ship." Finally entering the sea, there were no enemies, so of course Malu allowed everyone to relax.
"Great!"
"Sergeant Major Madek, how is the sonar prepared?" Baki Lulu liked to break the cheerful atmosphere of everyone as always.
"It's being done. Yang Hui and the kid are doing the final debugging. Wait a minute." Madek reported.
"Hurry up, and... it's not appropriate to call someone with a higher military rank than you a kid? This is the source of breaking discipline. Be careful."
"Uh... ahaha."
After the communication ended, Madek covered his face and was speechless.
"It's really troublesome to have a strict boss." Madek complained.
"Isn't this the lovely side of Natal?" Yang Hui teased. Baki Lulu gave everyone the impression of being a strict and rigorous soldier, but Yang Hui knew her very well. What kind of woman's heart was hidden under her iron-blooded appearance, but she had never shown it to others.
"Hahaha, only you dare to say that about Lieutenant Baki Lulu." Mu and Madek both laughed, and laughed happily. Although they had never seen it, they had heard a lot of rumors about Baki Lulu's pink girlish heart in private.
In response, Yang Hui shrugged and did not respond. He knew that Baki Lulu had a good impression of him, and he also had a lot of feelings for Baki Lulu, but it was only a good impression, not even like, let alone love.
So Yang Hui directly told Baki Lulu that he already had two fiancées. It was not to reject Baki Lulu, but to let her think about it carefully. She was also a woman. Most women would not like scumbags and wanted to enjoy a love alone.
The world of adults is so straightforward, unlike idol dramas where there are so many twists and turns. If you like me and I like you, then we can talk openly. If it’s suitable, we can get along. If it’s not suitable, we can break up. Why is there so much boredom?
As for the gap in status... it has never been a problem. If Baki Lulu is entangled in this issue, Yang Hui has countless ways to lure Baki Lulu to Orb.
"But Kira, you are good. You will be a second lieutenant when you join the army!" Yang Hui teased Kira.
"Uh... this." Kira was embarrassed. It is impossible for ordinary soldiers to become second lieutenants without qualifications and merits. Kira was a second lieutenant right after he was awarded the rank. It is a start that many people cannot get.
However, everyone understood and did not envy Kira. Kira's combat effectiveness was obvious to all, and the situation was special. Kira did not have a good impression of the Earth Army. The reason why he stayed on the Archangel was just to protect Thor and others. Now, all the members of the Archangel were included, but in the final analysis, he just wanted to protect his companions. He still had no good impression of the army and war. Therefore, Malu gave Kira such a high rank, on the one hand to reward Kira's achievements, and on the other hand to retain Kira's talent.
"Heh! You are still embarrassed! Brat! I was taught a lesson again because of you!" Madek hooked Kira's neck and joked.
"Ahaha."
"Hurry up, or I will urge you again." Mu reminded, "But Yang Hui, you are really amazing. Not only MS, but also sonar system can be obtained."
"As long as you have money, you can also get it." Yang Hui teased.
"The problem is that I don't have money." Mu spread his hands, very sad. Although he is a major, the salary of the Earth Army... Let's not talk about it.
"Do you want to change jobs? Five social insurances and one housing fund plus high salary."
"Forgive me, such good conditions, I am very tempted, but I am afraid that your husband will shoot me."
"Don't talk nonsense, Natal and I are innocent."
"Hehe, only you can't see it. Who on the ship doesn't know that Lieutenant Bakilulu likes you?" Mu rolled his eyes and said unhappily. Malu hid it better, so only Mu saw a little clue, but Bakilulu's performance couldn't be more obvious. What are you still quibbling about?
Yang Hui looked at Mu, Madek, Kira, and the other two, and found that they were all looking at him with strange expressions, and sighed.
"... I have two fiancées."
"Uh... damn winner in life!" Mu held Yang Hui in his arms and cursed.
"Ouch! I'm a wounded soldier!"
"That's not enough to calm my anger! Accept the punishment!"
"Hahahaha..."
Everyone knew that Mu was not really angry. Of course, he was jealous, but he was not angry enough to turn against Yang Hui. He was playing with Yang Hui because he understood that Yang Hui was not showing off, but telling them that it was not that he didn't see that Baki Lulu liked him, but that the reality made it very likely that the two of them would not be together.
So Mu's playfulness with Yang Hui just revitalized the heavy atmosphere.
"It's done." Although Kira was amused by Yang Hui and Mu's playfulness, he didn't stop his hands. He had adjusted the sonar system while playing.
"Oh, you are still reliable, not like a certain second-generation official." Madek teased.
"Haha, I'll just think you are jealous!" Yang Hui broke free from Mu's grip and said proudly.
At this time, everyone also heard the broadcast and could go to the deck to relax.
"Do you want to go to the deck to play?" Mu asked Yang Hui and Kira. Yang Hui was a guest, and he and Kira were frontline combatants and did not need to be on duty.
"I won't go. There is nothing new in the sea, and I am still in a cast." Yang Hui raised his left arm, which was still in a useless state.
"That's right, Orb is an island country, what about you? Are you going?" Mu looked at Kira again.
"I won't go either."
"...Okay, then I'll go by myself. Alas, the hatred of single dogs."
Madek had to stay in the hangar on duty, and the other two had to return to the bridge. Mu went to the deck alone, and Yang Hui and Kira returned to the ship.
"You and Frey..."
"I don't know what to do."
At this time, Kira had already realized that his relationship with Frey was wrong. They were not together because of love. Frey wanted to use him to retaliate against the adjuster, and he was also using Frey to soothe his irritable heart.
After getting along for a long time, Kira knew it was wrong, but he still didn't leave Frey, because he was too kind. The moment Frey's father died, her world lost its color. Although Frey was using Kira for revenge, she also regarded Kira as a spiritual pillar, so she didn't fall into the abyss completely. So even if Kira knew that the relationship between the two was wrong, he didn't leave Frey, but just hid and didn't have an intimate relationship again.
"Two choices, decisively break up, don't get along..."
"But Frey... I don't want to see her collapse." Kira directly rejected the first choice.
"Then the second one, maintain this relationship."
"But Frey and I are not... lovers, we are just comforting each other."
"Then it depends on how you choose."
"If it were you... what would you do?" Kira asked Yang Hui.
"I wouldn't pay attention to her at the beginning." Yang Hui rolled his eyes and said, he might be slow in emotions, but after going through so many things, there is nothing wrong with the way he looks at people. If Frey chose him instead of Kira, she would directly refuse at the beginning.
"That's right..."
"But Kira, as a man, my personal opinion is that since you have chosen to be responsible, you should be responsible to the end."
"Responsible... to the end?"
"That's right, after all, she is your first woman, isn't she?" Yang Hui teased.
"Yang Hui!"
"Hahaha..."
"I'm serious!"
"Then let me ask you, do you love Frey?"
"...I don't know."
"Then think it over before deciding. It's hard for me to give you advice on relationships."
Yang Hui didn't lie. Although he was a "veteran", he was still slow. His wives basically pursued him. Yulin didn't pursue him, but it was a natural thing. So he didn't know what advice he could give to the twisted relationship between Kira and Frey.
"Okay, I got it."
"Come on, young man, I wish you can get the beauty! o( ̄▽ ̄)d"
"Cagallie is right! You are a bastard!"
"Ouch! Don't touch my wound!"
...
Everyone on the Archangel took turns to come to the deck to feel the vastness and beauty of the sea. The tense atmosphere was rarely relaxed, but they didn't know that danger was quietly approaching in the bottomless sea.
At the ZAFT Carpentaria base, the commander of the submarine carrier-Bosgolov-class, Marco Morassim, received a communication from Cruze.
"I was also shocked when I received the news of Captain Bartfield's defeat. To be honest, it was my fault for letting Long Legs land on Earth. I was also seriously injured by an unknown machine. I feel very complicated. But please rest assured that my subordinates and I have recovered and the troops have rested. Because of [Breakthrough Operation], I will land on Earth soon. At that time, I also ask Captain Morasim to assist me in all aspects."
"Humph! This Cruze, sending me this kind of communication is just a simple provocation."
Not only Andre Bartfield, there are many people in the ZAFT army who hate Cruze, and Marco Morasim is one of them.
He is also a veteran on the battlefield. He immediately realized that Cruze said that he would wait until he landed on Earth to deal with the Archangel, but in fact he was provoking him to deal with the Archangel.
But... although he saw through the provocation, Marco Morasim had to admit that he was tempted. The Archangel was a great achievement. If he could get it, he might be able to move up, or even get out of the annoying cage of the sea and return to the longed-for universe.
Looking at the sea map hanging on the wall, he analyzed the Archangel's route and decided, "That's it. I'll use their trick against me and sink that ship called Long Legs in the Indian Ocean."
