Not Super Robot Wars at All

It has been almost a week since Ed and Lux ​​were placed under house arrest at the Trinton base. Although there is no lack of freedom in life, and even the treatment of food, clothing, housing and transportation is very good, he is deprived of all means of communication, and as long as he leaves the house, he will be accompanied by two enthusiastic soldiers. So in comparison, Ed prefers to stay in the room alone every day—sometimes two people.

According to Graham, after he lost contact, the Moon somehow received the news as soon as possible and notified the Earth Federation to assist in the rescue. After the Earth Federation captured images of the Eternity's descent through a spy satellite, it inferred the landing location and ordered the Tlington base to send rescue troops. Graham was the first to find himself in the search and rescue mission.

With the light of his identity, Ed had already brushed his goodwill to a high level before seeing him.

Ed still clearly remembers Graham’s original line, “As one of the two people I respect most, how can you and I meet in the vast Pacific Ocean? This is the guide of fate!” And Lacus heard A subtle expression appeared after this line.

By the way, another person Graham respects is Amuro Ray.

In Ed's opinion, Graham is very cute. He can say whatever he thinks of. It is very easy to deal with him, and occasionally he will say some pleasant lines for himself to complain.

And he is currently Ed's main source of information. For example, the Moon was very dissatisfied with the federal detainees' unwillingness to hand over. He showed Ed the video published by Roland. This is the first time Ed saw Roland angry like this, and his heart was a little warm? But there is absolutely no bend, and Roland in the video is also menswear.

For example, he told Ed that Orb was gone again. Hey, why do you want to say it again?

But Graham was also a very principled person, strictly abiding by the discipline, and did not help Ed to contact the outside world.

At this moment Ed is typing something in his notebook that only he can understand. This is how many times it is possible to deduct the possibility of human beings over ELS. Of course, the laptop's network card was removed. Lux was sitting next to him, and although she didn't understand what he was doing, she still looked at him silently.

The moment he saw Graham, he remembered who the father of the adjuster was, and then there was another ELS to worry about. As for expecting Setsuna to drive OOQ and ELS to understand each other, first of all, does Setsuna really exist? Secondly, who will make the quantum OO Gundam? Finally, what if ELS is not willing to understand each other with you? Instead of relying on these completely vague things, it's better to count on yourself.

But the result of the deduction was relatively desperate. With the current level of technology, it was almost impossible to get the ELS in his memory. No matter how he deduced it, he could only bet on Moonlight Butterfly in the end. Even Moonlight Butterfly is not 100% safe. He doesn't know whether the Nanoworm will decompose the ELS first, or the ELS will erode the Nanoworm first.

But Ed is no longer surprised by the appearance of ELS. It's a world of difference whether there are aliens or not, and it doesn't matter whether there are one or two. And he probably understood the structure of this world.

"Lax, suppose there is such a story." He closed his notebook and looked at the girl next to him. "The protagonist will have new and stronger enemies popping up every once in a while. The backgrounds of these enemies are endless. It must be different. How do you say this story?"

"Huh?" Lacus did not understand the metaphor, put her finger on her cheek and tilted her head cutely. "The story is not well-written? Just for the purpose of allowing the plot to continue indefinitely, in the eyes of the protagonist. The world should be discontinuous."

"Then let's add another setting. Whenever a new enemy appears, the protagonist can always find the previous foreshadowing in various horns, indicating that this kind of enemy has always been there, and it is not made up now. What do you think of this?"

"... The author's malice, right?" Lacus thought for a while and gave the answer, "It's as if the author is saying to the protagonist, it's not my pot, you didn't find it."

Sure enough, Lux thought so too, and Ed nodded in agreement. Based on this reasoning, there must be other things that will come up after ELS. Should I make a record of which FLAGs I have set up before?

There was a knock on the door, and Graham walked in with Ed's permission.

"Dr. Adrian, you really are in the room. Your daughter is in great condition today!" Then he showed a surprised expression just like he found Lacus next to Ed, "Miss Klein is also with Dr. Are you together? Sorry, the existence of Dr. Adrian has taken all my sights, I didn't even notice you."

"Captain Aika, please don't care." Lacus smiled politely. "It's also very interesting to watch the interaction between Captain and Mr. Ed."

The "your daughter" Graham said here refers to V2, from another line after the two met: "Is this the daughter of Dr. Adrian? What a beauty, I really want to kiss Fangze!" If a passerby hears this, he will probably call him a fool.

After Ed was "protected" by the Federation, V2 was "custodial" by the EFF, but Graham promised him: "As a soldier, I cannot evaluate what the EFF did, but I will definitely protect the doctor. The safety of your daughter and me, this is my promise as a man!" The words that came out of Graham's mouth were somehow reassuring.

"Doc, Ob's government-in-exile is going to the base soon, do you want to go see it with me?" Graham invited him at this time, "Of course, Miss Klein can also go with him."

When Graham didn't have a mission, he occasionally came back to invite Ed to go out and watch V2 and the like. At this time, the few who were in charge of monitoring him at the door would not follow him.

"That's great, let's set off right away." Ed agrees readily, "I remember you said that Orb only ran out of a ship, and the administrative building where the representative of Ashar was located was washed by missiles and died on the spot?"

"Yes, the daughter of the head of government in exile this time is Kagali Yura Asha. It is said that she escaped because she was having a private meeting with Brigadier General Kira Yamato, but Brigadier General Yamato didn’t. Can organize an effective counterattack in the first time."

With too many slots, Ed can only sigh: "Emotional entanglement is always the fate of every ACE..."

"This is too profound." Graham gave a thumbs up. "As a Virgo, I feel the same way."

After a while, the three arrived at the port, and a battleship just finished docking not long ago. There was a row of officers who were in charge of reception on the shore. Looking at the epaulettes, it was the colonel's starting point. No wonder Captain Graham had time to hang out with him.

The gangway was lowered, and it was Kagali and Kira who walked in the front as expected. Kagali actually looks good, and she wore a long skirt with a look of sorrow. Kira shook her hand and walked down the gangway step by step, and came to the Union officers to start a conversation.

Looking at Kagali like this, Ed suddenly thought that Lux was actually in the same situation. Will the loss of his father and the subjugation of the country be touched? He looked at the girl next to him worriedly. The girl noticed his gaze and seemed to understand what he meant, turning her face to give him a sweet smile.

After watching it for a while, everyone felt that it was not interesting, because standing too far away could not hear what was being said. Graham sent Ed and Lux ​​back to the room, and left.

"Where is the politician's daughter..." Lacus looked thoughtful. "Mr. Ed, what do you think Miss Ashar would do?"

"I guess she still wants to restore the country, but what can only one boat do." He looked at Luxe and thought she really thought of herself, "Do you think she has hope?"

"It's difficult." Lacus shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. "Now the core of the government in exile is Miss Ashar and Brigadier General Yamato. The Federation will surely win over Brigadier General Yamato at all costs and divide the ship. Exile. I am afraid that the people within the government are also faltering, and I don’t all want to restore the country. She may be able to sell her body to the Federation and become a puppet government.

"What would you do if you were Kagali?" He was quite curious about this.

"Kagali?" Lacus glanced at Ed with a little surprise, "Does Mr. Ed like this neutral type? But Miss Ashar does look good."

"... I missed the word, it's Miss Ashar." The woman was so sensitive, he vaguely remembered having a similar conversation with C.C., "She is not the type I like."

Lacus looked at him with a smile from the corner of her eyes and returned to the original topic: "If I were her, I would settle a marriage relationship with Brigadier General Yamato as soon as possible. At least I must first settle down within the exile government and have a backbone."

But they are brothers and sisters, they can't be together...Wait, old Ashar just died this time. I wonder if I told Kagali the truth beforehand? Wouldn't it be fun if there were any?

"However, it is inevitable to sign a treaty that will humiliate the country afterwards. Whether she can even keep her innocence in the negotiations with the Federation can only depend on her good fortune." So, it’s better to sell yourself to the moon. What do you think, Mr. Ed?"

Lux became like this after that day. What happened on the island was a bit embarrassing. At that time, Lacus seemed to be out of control, and she was a little impulsive. Afterwards, everyone did not mention it sensibly. After that, Lacus continued to sell cute when she was supposed to be cute, but she never shy away from showing her side as a politician, and occasionally said something that people didn't know how to answer.

In general, as she had previously announced, she became more "aggressive". For example, for this question, do you think the answer should be yes or no.

"Aub died on their own. They can only ask for their own blessings." The correct answer is to change the topic. "Let's consider our own affairs first. His Royal Highness Roland said that. It is estimated that the Federation will begin in a few days. It's handed over."

After all, how can Moonlight Butterfly ride his face to lose?

He also remembered the news that Graham told him before he left that tomorrow the Federal Army headquarters will send people to Tlington Base to discuss the inclusion of the Orb remnants. In fact, the so-called remnants mainly refer to Kira himself, and this level of combat power federation wants to be under his command anyway.

"This person sent here, Paputhimas Silok, do you know Mr. Ed?" Lacus looked worried. "He is only a major, but he is in charge of such an important matter. It shouldn't be an idle generation."

"Yes. This person is Heyman's confidant and a cruel careerist. The driving skill is ACE, he understands scientific research, and he is a new human. In short, it is difficult to deal with. He was also responsible when he took the Justice Gundam before."

Ed can’t explain well how he knew that Silok was involved in the seizure of justice, but Lacus never asked him about the source and credibility of various intelligence, and he would not even look at him with a playful expression like CC did. Presumably, only analysis will be made directly on the information given.

"If such an important task fails, he can continue to be responsible for the equally important task. This person should be trusted by Brigadier General Hyman. This time I am afraid he will make him guilty and meritorious." Lacus looked straight into Ed's eyes, with both pupils. Showed a pitiful and moving gaze, "I am worried that he is here not only to take care of Orb's disposal, but also to take care of my disposal. It's hard to justify being aired for so many days in my capacity. This should be a treatment for me. Great opportunity."

"Lux..."

"After all, we are not relatives or reasons. The Federation may take me away with a strong attitude." Lacus gently held his hand, a soft touch came from his palm, "Mr. Ed will protect me, right?"

This look, this movement, is not necessary. It was agreed long ago. She knew Ed's answer, but she wanted to show it to him deliberately and let him tell it in person.

"...I will protect you."
