Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

The banquet ended a little hastily, but it was reasonable.

At least everyone who should lie down was lying down, and a few who shouldn't be lying down were also lying down.

"It's been a long time since we sat together like this, right?"

Aslan, who sent Cagalli back to her room, walked into the pavilion.

It is a comforting thing to meet good friends in this lonely place.

"seems like it."

Noel nodded and replied, "It's true that we haven't been together like this for a long time. Unfortunately, there are still three people missing today."

Thinking about it carefully, they have never sat together like this since graduation.

While pouring tea for the two of them, Lux replied softly: "There will be opportunities in the future."

"The future -"

The word Noel doesn't want to hear right now is the future.

Given my current situation, is there really a future?

"What's wrong?"

Aslan heard the melancholy in Noel's voice.

"It's nothing. Lux is right, there will be opportunities in the future." Noel shook his head without explaining.

Some things cannot be explained with words.

As Noel finished speaking.

Silence fell in the pavilion.

They have a thousand words to say, and they do have a lot to say.

But when they actually face each other, they don't know how to speak.

"Lux—"

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Noel suddenly broke the atmosphere by speaking.

Hearing this, Lux turned her head and looked at Noel.

"Sing a song."

Noel met Lux's gaze and smiled: "Otherwise, I really don't know what to say."

Aslan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Noel really hasn't changed at all.

I used to like to say this from time to time during gatherings, and it's still the same now, but I still have to blame Lacus for this, after all, Lacus is so talkative.

"That's it-"

After Lux pondered for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "Then I refuse."

"Why?"

Noel was stunned. This situation was wrong. This had never happened before when requesting songs.

Aslan also looked puzzled. In his memory, Lacus seemed to have never refused such a request.

Although Noel was the only one who would make such a rude request from beginning to end.

"There's no reason, I just want to refuse, can't you?" Lux asked with a smile, her chin clenched.

"Uh-ok, why not!"

Noel was speechless. What else can I say after you have already mentioned this?

"However, if Noel really wants to hear it, I can choose to accept it."

However, just as Noel spoke, Lux suddenly changed her tone and laughed.

"No, do you want to sing or not?" Noel was speechless.

"Then do you want me to sing or not?" Lux continued to ask.

"What do you think?"

Noel rolled his eyes. Lux was afraid that there was something wrong with his head.

"That's why I asked you."

Lux said as if she didn't hear the complaint in Noel's words.

"Are you—really Lux?"

Noel clicked his head, feeling something was wrong, or something was wrong with Lux.

"A selfless person can do immeasurable harm to the public and do endless harm to himself. I sincerely hope that one day I can hear you sing your own song of peace -"

Lux suddenly said something incomprehensible, and then looked at Noel with a playful look.

Noel was embarrassed. Is this something I said?

I didn’t feel it at the time, but now that I think about it——

What's the matter with this inexplicable feeling of shame!

Aslan looked at the two of them confused, wondering what happened to them suddenly.

"You still remember, you have such a good memory."

Noel looked a little embarrassed, but actually this sentence was nothing.

But when I think of that scene, my tone and demeanor——

"So, Noel, do you think I can sing my own song of peace?" Lux continued to ask.

"when--"

Noel was about to say of course, but for some reason, when he caught Lux's gaze, Noel couldn't say the following words.

Just because he knows that the current peace is just a false peace.

"However, if you really want to listen to music now, Noel, it's not impossible."

Lux's eyes flickered and she suddenly laughed again.

"What's the meaning?"

Noel felt that he couldn't keep up with Lux's thoughts.

Aslan was confused the whole time and had no idea what they were talking about.

"If Noel is willing to help me write a song, a peace song of my own, then maybe I can sing to you all the time."

Lux stared at Noel with a joking tone and eyes that seemed to hold a sky full of stars.

Noel was about to pick up the tea cup and paused, savoring Lux's words, his eyes gradually became solemn and serious.

"Lux!?"

Aslan also heard the voice of Lux's words, and looked at Lux with a pair of eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Noel slowly put down the tea cup, tilted his head and looked at Lux with a solemn expression and asked: "You - is it worth it?"

For the sake of that illusory peace, even one's own lifelong happiness is willing to be used as a bargaining chip.

Noel couldn't help but feel a little sad for Lux.

"value--"

"I'm asking you very seriously! Do you really think it's worth it?"

Noel interrupted Lux's words sternly, and also interrupted the smile on Lux's face.

"I--"

Facing Noel's gaze, Lux hesitated to speak.

Her reason and analysis told her it was worth it.

But the human emotion and Noel's cold and serious gaze made her doubt the answer.

Aslan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

A moment of silence——

"Maybe you have another choice."

Noel spoke up and broke the calm.

It attracted the attention of the two people.

"I don't know what your values ​​are like, nor what your heart is like, and I'm just an ordinary layman, so I can't judge and criticize whether your choice is correct. Of course, I don't have that either." qualifications."

Noel looked at the ocean in the distance and said calmly: "But as a friend, I still want to boldly speak out my ridiculous words based on my own values ​​and my self-righteous understanding."

Lux listened quietly and waited for Noel's next words.

"Because you are the princess of PLANT, you have been burdened with the ideals of the Kleinists since you were born. You are willing to work for the ideals of the Kleinists, for world peace, and to cut off the hatred of this war... for Peace on earth is something one is willing to sacrifice everything for.”

"This cannot be said to be wrong. At least the idea of ​​pursuing peace is never wrong. It is a lofty ideal."

"But, the hope for peace and Mr. Siegel's legacy should not be shackles that bind you, they should be the driving force to push you forward."

"The song that truly belongs to you and the path that belongs to you should be created and chosen by you."

As he spoke, Noel picked up the tea cup and drank it, then continued: "On this road of life, it is absolutely wrong to place your hopes on others. Besides, I can't write songs, and I don't have that ability."

Lux's eyes flickered, showing no emotion or anger.

"but--"

Noel suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "When you are writing songs, when you are moving forward, I will try my best to help you. After all, compared to a lonely world, I want to live in a world full of songs. .”

Lux was stunned, she heard what Noel meant.
