Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

"Captain Aslan, Mr. Heine, good morning, I am Ray Za Barel."

Heine responded to Lei's greeting with a relaxed and casual attitude: "Oh, it's the 'Instant Zaku Phantom', right? It's a pleasure to meet you. Speaking of which, the Minerva is really full of talents."

"Has Captain Heine served on the Nazca class before?"

Seeing that the topic had changed, Luna Maria continued to ask him.

"Captain Heine?"

Heine said with a puzzled look on his face: "Just call me Heine. Don't be so stiff. It's a serious occasion for any captain. There is no need to say anything about captain in private. This is ZAFT The basic spirit of combat driving, isn’t it?”

"Ah, yes..."

Luna Maria answered hesitantly, and Shin Asuka also peeked at Aslan in confusion.

Indeed, ZAFT does not have a class system like a general military organization, only units and their leaders.

The units of the team are different. Three to five people are a team, and all the crew members on a ship or even multiple battleships can also be a team.

The Minerva was originally captained by Thalia and part-time captain. After Aslan and Noel arrived, the MS fleet was handed over to Aslan.

Therefore, for Shin Asuka and others, Aslan is their direct captain.

At least that's what Shin Asuka thinks.

But now that Heine is added, what will happen in the future?

As for Noel, that guy has always been out of tune. Although he is also called captain, but——

Heine looked at the faces of these people and suddenly smiled crookedly. He looked at Aslan in surprise and said, "What? Have you always been called captain?"

"Uh...yes."

Aslan replied awkwardly, and an uncomfortable and embarrassing atmosphere suddenly appeared on the scene.

He didn't ask others to call him captain, but Zhen and others all called him that. Aslan himself thought it was very common, so he didn't stop them.

As a result, Heine said in front of everyone that the captain's shouting was not friendly enough, which was embarrassing.

As if he was here to smooth things over, Ray Za Barel explained lightly: "As a combat commander, of course we have to..."

"Huh? Oh~"

Heine thought for a while and then suddenly changed the topic: "But think about it, captain, captain, it's not good to create estrangement and lose touch with your partners like this, isn't it?"

"this?"

I was really surprised by this unexpected statement - out of touch with my partners?

"We are all ZAFT's combat pilots. When we go to the front line, we are treated equally, whether we are faith, red or green."

Heine said confidently, and then asked everyone: "If you only obey orders and have to stay together to fight, wouldn't you be just like those idiots in the Earth Army? So let's sit down as equals."

Zhen Asuka and others still could not accept this concept immediately, so they subconsciously looked at Aslan.

Aslan didn't know what to say.

He understood what Heine said.

In the military, in order to achieve goals quickly, a command system is necessary, but placing too much emphasis on the form of this system will make the organization rigid and lose its functionality.

This is why ZAFT decided to abolish classes so that on-the-spot judgment could take priority in actual combat.

The ZAFT army's individual IQ levels are relatively high, so this measure can be effective, but conversely, the responsibilities imposed on individuals are also huge.

Therefore, treat everyone equally - Heine's opinion makes sense, but -

"So Heine Westenfleurs, do you have a problem with me?"

Just when Aslan didn't know what to say, a burst of extremely unpleasant words came from not far away.

"Um?"

"Captain Noel?"

"Noel?"

After hearing this, several people subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Noel suddenly appeared in the restaurant with a gloomy expression.

"Is he angry when he wakes up too?"

Subconsciously, this idea appeared in Zhen Feiniao's mind for no apparent reason.

Tell me what happened today.

Luna Maria has wake-up anger, Aslan has wake-up anger, so why does Captain Noel also have wake-up anger?

"How could that be? Noel, you misunderstood."

Heine Westenflaus stood up from his seat and replied with a smile.

In fact, his arrival was not that simple, which is why he talked to Aslan like this.

But Aslan and Noel are two completely different people.

You can try to suppress the former. After all, Aslan is relatively reasonable. As long as the reason is appropriate, Aslan won't have too many opinions.

But Noel Cassia—

"Captain Noel, long time no see."

"Captain Noel."

Behind Heine, Rika Sita, Marie Straw and Michal Koster, who had been sitting watching the show, stood up and laughed.

"Captain Noel, you misunderstood. Heine was just saying that the word captain is a bit serious in private."

Rika Sheeta continued to smile and smooth things over, then winked at Luna Maria and said, "Are you right?"

"Huh? Ah, yes, yes."

Luna Maria nodded quickly when she heard this and said, "That's right."

Zhen Asuka and others also nodded quickly.

Although I don’t know why Noel suddenly got angry today, don’t tell me, this guy getting angry is really a bit bluffing.

Noel turned his head and looked at Aslan after hearing this.

Aslan noticed Noel's gaze and nodded with a smile. He could see that Noel was trying to help him out.

Although he personally feels that it is not necessary.

"Forget it, no matter what you say, just call me captain if you like, forget it if you don't."

Seeing this, Noel lost interest in continuing to criticize others: "Don't bullshit me here. No one is forcing you to call me captain in private. If you don't like it, you don't have to call me captain."

I originally thought that Heine would force himself to vent his anger, but in the end——

"Captain Noel, what happened today?"

Luna Maria looked at Noel's leaving back and subconsciously asked Aslan.

This was the first time she had seen Noel lose his temper.

"I am not sure as well."

Aslan also looked confused, he didn't know what happened to Noel suddenly.

"Captain Noll is kind of—humph!"

Luna Maria was about to continue saying something, but when she turned her head, she saw Lux holding Aslan on her arm.

The scene from the morning came to mind unconsciously, and he suddenly tilted his head and snorted.

Aslan looked at the back of Luna Maria's head and opened his mouth subconsciously, but felt the touch on his arm and couldn't say anything when it reached his throat.

Because of Noel's sudden arrival, the conversation was stopped.

Mia also left the guest house under the leadership of the escort.

After all, she also plays Lux Klein and has a very full schedule.

"call--"

Watching Mia's helicopter take off, Aslan felt a lot more relaxed.

Aslan had really had enough of this farce.

The guilt of deceiving the world is ever-present, and nothing can be done to erase it.

Speaking of which, what is Mia planning?

Playing a fiancée in public - this is Mia's own opinion, but Aslan feels that her performance is not so innocent, and even feels like she has too much acting skills.

Or is she actually trying to get close to him in this name?

If so, this approach is simply counterproductive.
