Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

As for Siegfried, regarding the fact that he is an adjuster, to be honest, he actually has no sense of substitution. He has never lived in PLANT, has never been persecuted by Blue Cosmos, and has never even been treated differently by his friends like Kira. It is a bit reluctant to make him feel that he is carrying the deep hatred of the adjuster.

On the wreckage of Junius 7, his anger did not come from the identity of the adjusted person, but from the hellish scene, which would make any normal person feel uncomfortable. Including this battle, specifically regarding the life and death of the Desert Tiger, he actually didn't care that much.

In his opinion, Andrew Butterfield is just Plan A of the Klein faction. Even if he dies in the desert, with Lux's methods or the power behind her, he will definitely be able to find a replacement.

"Siegfried, Siegfried!"

The voice in her ear pulled the young man back from his thoughts. The sudden distracted attitude made Cagalli furious. However, considering the other person's health, it was difficult to attack directly. This made her with a straight temper have no choice but to turn up her volume. to vent their dissatisfaction.

"Ah? What did you say?"

"I said...I said...I really am!!!"

Seeing that Cagalli was so angry that she was incoherent, Siegfried stopped teasing her. Of course he heard what he just said very clearly. Malsu gave the entire ship a half-day holiday, and those who were not alive could go in batches. Looking at the sea from the deck is a big temptation for many people who have never been to the earth since birth.

"Go, go, go, oh, there's really nothing I can do about you."

"Am I begging you to go!"

"Is not it?"

After a few days of training, the repeated injuries caused by the rash attack have finally recovered. Although I still can't fight with others, at least I don't need to continue to 'hang' on Hilde's body. I only need someone to support me. You can walk now.

However, when he thought about the eyes of the two women he saw when he opened the cabin door after returning to the ship, Siegfried felt that the sea breeze blowing on him was somewhat cool.

There were already many people on the deck taking turns to relax. In addition to Masuo and the divine helmsman Neumann who could not leave his post, they were still on duty in the bridge. What surprised Siegfried the most was that the military model also appeared. Here it is.

"second lieutenant?"

"Please pay attention to your wording. You are now a lieutenant. The confusion of military ranks will have very serious consequences!"

As expected, Siegfried was corrected by Bucky Lulu after using the wrong title. However, although it was a rebuke, the tone was not as serious as expected.

"Yes, yes, it seems it will be more convenient to call her by her first name next time? Natal."

"you!"

It was the first time that a boy younger than him directly called his name, and Bucky Lulu had a strange expression on his face. In her knowledge, only Masuo on the entire Archangel would call her that, and even Mu didn't dare to be so casual. But when she thought about the other person's age, she felt a little relieved, 'After all, he is still just a child. ’

Speaking of which, as the first mate who fulfilled his duties, Bucky Lulu would never leave the bridge, but Hilde and Cagalli went to the bridge after the shift. Originally it was just to help the technicians adjust the sonar parameters, but it turned out that Ma Su felt that her adjutant had been too nervous since landing on the earth, so she took the initiative to ask Hilde if she could stand guard for Natal and get After answering in the affirmative, he pushed her to the deck with half encouragement and half force.

However, the deck was currently filled with Millie and the other student soldiers. Bucky Lulu, who felt a little out of place, was thinking about whether it would be better to go back directly, when she happened to meet Siegfried who came out to enjoy the breeze.

"Lieutenant, I must point out your reckless and unnecessary actions during the sortie in the desert!"

"Wait, what ensign? Me?"

After Bucky Lulu's explanation, Siegfried was surprised to find that not only did Kira become a second lieutenant of the Union Army, but he also received an official military rank. But he was the first to rush out during the low-orbit battle, and he was seriously injured and comatose after he came back. He finally waited until he felt better and then impulsively attacked again. As a result, it was only now that he got the news from Bucky Lulu.

"A soldier..."

"Don't you like it?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not, but I never thought that this identity would be related to me. Rather than being an identity, it's actually more of a responsibility and burden."

"Is it because I am an adjuster?"

"No, no, no, I don't care much about identity. It's just that you don't like to adjust people, Natal? After all, as far as I know, you come from a family of Atlantic Alliance soldiers. In that kind of environment, you didn't meet me for the first time. It’s not easy to kill me with one shot.”

It was not very difficult for the familiar Siegfried to switch names easily, but for Bucky Lulu, who was originally rigid and almost rigid, this kind of familiarity was more like a rough smash. The violence in her heart made her unable to hear the second half of Siegfried's words for a moment.

"Lieutenant? Lieutenant?"

"I'm sorry...Actually, you are right. Before I came into contact with you, my impression of adjusters was that they were monsters in the sky. They did not get sick, were handsome, and learned everything quickly. Everything seemed like humans challenging the gods. The results obtained in the restricted area. However, your appearance made me understand that adjusters are also human beings, and the blood they shed is red, and they will die if they are injured. Outside ZAFT, there are many adjusters who are not willing to get involved in the war, but regardless of the Earth United Or maybe PLANT, including me, didn’t see this..."

"Hey, you've grown up, Natal~"

"Has anyone ever told you that your attitude is annoying?"

"Sorry, no, Hilde is the type who doesn't have a big reaction no matter what I do or say, so I really don't know how annoying I am, Natal."

"That's enough... Besides, do you really think that girl has no feelings? The moment you adjusted the power of the machine without authorization, that girl's expression was so cold that it could kill someone."

"Because Hilde and I only have each other, ahem...not that kind of each other. Cagalli, you know that we are related by blood, so don't think about it."

Taking off his military cap for the rare occasion, Bucky Lulu enjoyed the feeling of the sea breeze on his face. Watching Siegfried hurriedly explaining something to the girl next to him, Bucky Lulu couldn't help but think of her past self. At that time, she was not It's not like now that he only focuses on fighting. It seems that he once had someone he liked.

"By the way, what are your plans next?"

After blowing the sea breeze for a while, Bucky Lulu thought of an important question. From her perspective, she did not think that Siegfried and Hilde would be willing to go to Alaska with them.

"After that... I haven't decided yet, but I probably won't go to Alaska with you, so I'm sorry Natal."

"There is nothing to be sorry for. From a joint standpoint, I certainly hope that you and Kira can fight for us. To be honest, I have also thought about whether I can find a weakness to exploit you. However, from a human perspective, let Kira continues to slaughter his compatriots like he did in the desert, and it is too cruel for you, a Martian, to continue to intervene in the war in our earth circle."

"You've still grown up, Natal."

"It's enough!"

But then Bucky Lulu looked meaningfully at Cagalli, who had been unable to say anything. The little girl's thoughts were written on her face, so as an adult, she could still understand that Cagalli, no matter how weak her interpersonal communication was, was What was Carrie thinking.

"Princess of Orb, do you think clearly that you must drag Siegfried into this muddy water?"

"Why?"

Bucky Lulu shook her head. This question word basically announced that Cagalli didn't understand what she was talking about. Fortunately, Siegfried should know what Orb's situation was. It was just that Cagalli was present, so it was not convenient for him to express himself. the opinion of.

"What is a puddle of muddy water in Orb?"

Siegfried covered his face in despair. Do you still not understand what he said so plainly? This battleship itself and Wutai G have made it clear that they are inseparable from your "absolutely neutral" country. You still ask others in confusion why they say that. ． ．

However, the alarm that sounded throughout the ship interrupted the three people's chat. Ma Liu issued the second combat alert, and everyone, including Mili, hurried back to the bridge.

While Bucky Lulu was blaming herself, "Why did she let down her guard like this?" she was also worried that her dereliction of duty would cause the Archangel to miss the opportunity to meet the enemy. As a result, before entering the bridge, Hilde's calm voice could be heard. out.

"Hell Darts No. 7-10 are loaded and launched. The Porcupine Formation is activated to automatically attack."

Under clear orders, everyone knew what they needed to do as soon as they returned to their posts. There was no panic in the whole process. Bucky Lulu asked herself that this was all she could do.

After seeing the owner of the position return, Hilde stood up to make way for him, then nodded to Malu and left the bridge, because she knew that in this environment, Siegfried would be unable to resist sitting on it. MS.

Sure enough, in the Gnaku, Cagalli stood in front of the Gespenst cockpit and said something loudly, and in front of her, Siegfried was trying to get around her so that he could enter the cockpit.

Seeing this scene, Hilde involuntarily quickened her pace. In Cagalli's surprised eyes, Siegfried felt someone grabbed him from the back before he could turn around, and then he was thrown to the ground.

"Ahem...I'm still a patient..."

"You still know that you are a patient?"

As a result, before Siegfried could say anything, Cagalli was the first to be unhappy. After helping Siegfried up, the Orb princess silently protected him behind her.

Seeing the other party's move, Hilde was not angry, but pointed at Siegfried with her index finger, and then spoke in Cagalli's wary eyes.

"You are not the savior. This battleship will not sink without you. Don't take yourself too seriously."
