Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

"Your return time is coming soon, give it a wipe."

Because Kannad allegedly discovered something, Siegfried temporarily needed to drive the Red Holy Shield to help. Before leaving, he specifically told Stella to keep an eye on Zhen's return time.

In the infirmary, Zhen Asuka sat silently beside Mayu's bed. The appearance of his lovely sister has not changed much, but Mayu, who loved to smile and was a bit squeamish in the memory, is now lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He didn't speak, and he didn't look back to see Stella who came in to inform him. He just buried his head in his arms and sat there motionless.

"If you delay returning to the team, it will affect Siegfried's commitment."

For Stella, Mayo's experience gave her a subtle sense of dislocation. It seemed that there was always a voice whispering in her ear, telling her that the person lying on the bed at this moment should It's her.

"Did you come from that place too?"

Zhen finally spoke, but due to damage to his vocal cords caused by roaring too loudly before, his originally boyish voice actually had a hint of hoarseness.

"Um."

"That place would treat children like you"

"Sorry, I don't know. After being rescued by Siegfried, all my previous memories were lost. I don't know who I am or where I came from. If there was no Siegfried... maybe"

"But you standing here now are the greatest luck, aren't you?"

"Um."

"If only Mayu had half as much luck as you."

"Um"

Stella didn't know how to comfort Zhen Asuka. The tense situation when the two met for the first time disappeared. For her who puts her 'brother' first in her life, she faced a powerless brother. , Stella felt that some soft places in her heart were suddenly touched.

"I believe Siegfried. He promised me to save Mayu. Now Mayu is lying here. Please, please, please beg him. After returning to Orb, he must rescue Mayu."

After using it and wiping it on her face, Stella noticed with sharp eyes that some crystal clear things were thrown to the ground by real flying birds. She sighed in her heart that every brother in the world can do this for his sister. But Stella knew that she could not promise some promises that she could not fulfill.

"I'm sorry I can't guarantee that."

"But isn't he Orb's hero!!! Why even Mayu?"

"Heroes are not omnipotent."

"We will do our best, and Siegfried will do his best, but I can't guarantee you. People can't live in false expectations. That's a kind of deception!"

Stella's answer was decisive. For her, who was gradually recovering her emotional awareness, although she knew very well that Zhen Asuka just wanted a comforting promise, her intuition was telling herself that it was wrong to do so.

"If you can't even give me this little hope."

"False hope should never have existed from the beginning. You are a good brother."

Looking at Zhen's sad expression, Stella gently put her hand on his head, just like she did when comforting Lars in East Asia. This was a habit Stella learned from Siegfried, because whenever she When she was unhappy, she would look forward to her brother comforting her in this way, so she did the same thing to Zhen, hoping that this could alleviate the pain of her 'brother'.

At this moment, Mayu on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, lifted up the sheets with one hand and jumped up in a hospital gown. After discovering that there were only two 'ordinary people' in the room, Mayu directly pulled out the needle used for infusion on the back of her hand, held the tip of the needle with two fingers and stabbed Zhen who was closest to her.

"Mayu!"

Stella immediately understood what had happened. Originally, Mayu was supposed to be fixed on the bed, but during the short time she left just now, she must have been unable to see her sister suffering such inhuman treatment, and secretly gave it to Mayu. You loosened his ties.

As a result, the sedatives used by ordinary people that the doctor had used before had no effect on Mayu's body at all, and were directly metabolized by the nanorobots and highly activated cells in her body.

Seeing that the tip of the needle was about to hit Zhen Asuka's eye, Stella supported the edge of the bed with one hand and kicked Mayu in the abdomen with her horizontal whip leg. Then she adjusted her posture again and used the reaction force to use the uninjured one. He pushed his legs hard on the bed, bent his other leg slightly, and directly hit Mayu's chest with his knee.

After landing, Stella twisted her legs around Mayu's hand holding the needle, and controlled Mayu to the floor in a standard cross-body posture.

"Tranquilizer! The first one on the left hand!"

Stella only felt that the strength of Mayu's struggle was amazing. When she looked up, she found that Zhen was still hesitating and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"If your sister breaks free, we will both die here!"

Only then did Asuka come to his senses from his daze. He hurriedly found the sedative on the cabinet, but he didn't know where to inject it.

"Kill you! Kill you!"

Mayu let out a roar that was different from human beings. Just as he was about to break free from Stella's strangulation, Zhen Asuka finally stabbed the needle directly in Mayu's leg.

"Kill you and I will kill my brother."

Feeling that the strength of Mayu's struggle was slowly weakening, Stella did not dare to let go of the other party at all. It was not until Mayu's body completely softened after a while that she stood up with some difficulty holding on to the bed.

"Tie them up, it's better for everyone."

After putting Mayu back on the bed with Zhen, seeing that the other party was still hesitating about the shackles, Stella directly took action and fixed Mayu tightly.

"Mayu knows me, did you hear just now? Mayu called me brother!"

"What she said was, kill her brother."

Stella's correction was like a basin of cold water that extinguished Zhen Asuka's hope. In fact, he also heard Mayu's original words. His brother, who was not hearing impaired, just subconsciously did not want to believe that his sister actually said that he wanted to kill her. Die to your own words.

"They seem to have set a forbidden word for your sister."

While rubbing her injured leg, Stella recalled the details before Mayu went berserk. The last word she heard was probably the words she comforted Ma Asuka, 'You are a good brother.'

"What is a forbidden word?"

"That is something developed by Atlantic to better manage the expansion people. It is generally used as a safety device to suppress their out-of-control rampage. When the banned words are triggered, the expansion people will quickly lose their minds and enter a state of forced rampage. Your sister must have been like this just now."

For some reason, when Stella said these words, a deep hatred for the Atlantic surged in her heart. In her heart, the title brother should be sacred and inviolable, but now it has been used as a forbidden word. , which made her, who had never had any emotional fluctuations, even feel a little angry.

"Why are you treating Mayu like this? Why are you depriving her of the right to call her brother? Atlantic! LOGOS! Why are you doing this!"

Red seeds shattered in Zhen Asuka's mind. For the first time, he entered SEED mode without a non-combat situation, and Stella just looked at him without saying a word. After a moment, she again He put his hand on Zhen Asuka's head and completed the sentence interrupted by Mayu just now.

"You are a good brother, you can't do this in front of your sister."

Stella is the real Asuka’s salvation
