"It's been more than half a year since we left, right?"
Hibiki Yuta, Utsumi Sho and Takarata Rikka looked at the familiar city through the glass of the viewing corridor. They were filled with emotions for a moment. They boarded the "Drestliga" in a daze at first, and then started
After their fighting trip, they returned to their hometown after more than half a year. It seemed that everything was so familiar yet strange.
"Yuta, what do you mean to Shinjo-san..."
"Of course, defeat her!" Rikka Takarata was looking for Yuta Hibiki, but Utsumi Shogun said before Yuta Hibiki could speak. He was the one who knew the truth, and countless people died at the hands of the monster created by Akane Shinjo.
Maybe he has forgotten that among the dead were his friends, so Akane Shinjo is the embodiment of evil and should be defeated.
"Wait! Is this too much?" Rikka Takarata burst out dissatisfied. She was very resistant to General Utsumi's attitude, especially his attitude of treating himself as a hero of justice. The battles were all between Gurlitt and Hibiki Yu.
Tai participated in the training, and the training was led by Yang Hui and others. The logistical supplies and intelligence support were also provided by members of [Drestliga]. What has General Utsumi done? What qualifications do he have to regard himself as a hero?
Support Gullit? Stop joking, you just yelled in front of an old computer. Is this a hero of justice?
If it were in the past, Rikka Takarata wouldn't have said much, and she didn't want to create internal conflicts, so she never had close relations with Utsumi Sho.
But this time when it came to her friends, Rikka Takarata could no longer remain silent.
Yes, the apparent originator of the Azalea Terrace, Shinjo Akane, is a friend of Rikka Takarata. When Yang Hui first talked to them and told them that Shinjou Akane was the creator of the Azalea Terrace and the initiator of the creation of the monster, she
She couldn't believe it no matter what. It wasn't until Yang Hui put out pieces of irrefutable evidence in front of her that she had no choice but to accept this fact.
But despite this, Rikka Takarata is also comforting herself, because the information provided by Yang Hui also mentioned that Akane Shinjo's ability to create monsters is not innate to her, and there is a hidden existence behind Akane Shinjo.
Preliminary speculation is that it is an intruder from an alien civilization, and its existence gave Akane Shinjo such abilities.
In this way, Rikka Takarata naturally shifted all the responsibilities to the intruder. Rikka Takarata was not guilty. She was just bewitched and even manipulated.
"Is this too much? She created monsters and killed so many people, shouldn't she be defeated?" Utsumi Shogun said to Rikka Takarata with a righteous tone.
"Haha? What kind of statement from a knight of justice are you talking about? We still haven't figured out whether Xiao Akane is being manipulated, right!?"
"Even if Shinjou-san is really manipulated, no one can deny what she has done! And...we are the Gulit Alliance! We are the embodiment of justice!"
"You can't do anything except cheering, you can't even persist in ordinary training, and you can't learn anything. How do you have the right to say that!?"
"What did you say!?"
At this moment, Takarata Rikka completely exploded, venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart towards General Utsumi. General Utsumi naturally refused to give up after hearing this. It was probably because Takarata Rikka had stabbed the pain in his heart, causing
General Utsumi was also angry, as if he wanted to fight Takarata Rikka until death.
"Takarata-kun! Sho! Stop arguing!" Hibiki Yuta's mind was still buzzing. He was originally thinking about Shinjo Akane. Was he being manipulated? Was he involuntarily? If so, what should he do?
Save her? If not, how should I treat Shinjo Akane? Should I eliminate her? Or let her go?
But the quarrel between the two was so intense that Hibiki Yuta was forced to interrupt his thoughts and quickly stood between the two to prevent them from fighting. "What are you doing?"
"What happened?"
"Bado-san, Utsumi-san, don't quarrel."
Originally, there were only three of them in the viewing corridor, but the noise caused by the quarrel between Rikka Takarata and Sho Utsumi was so loud that the people around and passing by were attracted, and upon seeing the situation, they quickly stepped forward to stop and persuade the two of them.
However, not knowing the inside story, they could not calm down the two people's excited emotions. They could only separate the two impulsive people, and then persuade and appease them separately.
"Has it finally broken out?" Elzam muttered, leaning against the wall.
"Have you discovered it a long time ago?" Letdis F. Brasciota asked as he looked at Elzam with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you notice?"
"..."
Faced with Erzam's rhetorical question, Ladis F. Braschita was speechless and choked. The correct statement is that there were very few people on the ship who did not notice the conflict between Rikka Takarata and Sho Utsumi, especially Sho Utsumi.
Some people still criticize General Utsumi.
As Rikka Takarata said, there is really nothing that General Utsumi can do on [Drestliga] and he has not made much contribution.
Rikka Takarata and Utsumi Sho are positioned as the support team of Yuta Hibiki and Gulit. They do not participate in the battle, but they can provide emotional support to Yuta Hibiki and Gulit, strengthen Yuta Hibiki's will, encourage and cheer them up.
Apart from that, they have no other abilities. They are just ordinary high school students. How do you expect them to be able to prepare mobile suits? Or join the Marine Corps to fight? Or participate in research work?
In this regard, Rikka Takarata's situation is slightly better. Because she is a girl, she can prepare meals and other things together with the members of the logistics team. Admiral Utsumi... can only help clean the ship.
It’s not that they weren’t given the opportunity. Rikka Takarata knew that she was not that material and didn’t intend to stay in the Federation Army, so she took the initiative to reject the opportunity. Because of this, Rikka Takarata was in [Drestliga].
I have never considered myself a righteous hero, but have always regarded myself as an ordinary person, doing what I can to help everyone.
General Utsumi... signed up excitedly at first, but then... didn't last more than 3 days. Mainly because of his attitude. There was a kind of showing off and showing off that Gullit had a share of the credit for every victory.
, which resulted in some people on the ship not ostracizing him, but they would never have a close friendship with him, and they complained in private.
"It doesn't matter if it breaks out now." Erzam said, "I have read the information carefully. This is an opportunity and a test for them. If Utsumi classmate still can't clearly understand himself, then he... in the end
It's better to disembark here."
"...Hmm." It was very rare that Ladis F. Brasiota could not remember the last time he agreed with Elzam's point of view.
