Not Super Robot Wars at All

By the time Ed came home, it was almost eight o'clock, the sky was pitch black, and only the artificial light source on the side of the road was still lighting. It is the first half of the month, and the man-made giant screen is covering the top of the head, and the real starry sky cannot be seen.

A day and night on the moon is approximately 29:5 Earth days. In other words, with the earth as the reference system, every month there will be fifteen days in the daytime and fifteen days in the evening. In order to match the body's biological clock to create about twenty-four hours a day, Anaheim built an artificial giant screen covering the entire city above the lunar city. In the first half of each month, the real sun filtered by the giant screen is seen during the day, and the giant screen is completely closed at night. The opposite is true in the second half of each month. During the day, the giant screen is closed and the sun is replaced by artificial light sources. At night, when the giant screen is opened, the real starry sky can be seen.

Ed prefers the second half of the month. Even if the entire universe is different, looking up at the stars can still make him feel tranquil in his heart.

Artificial day and night, like artificial gravity, are technologies that Ed is completely incomprehensible, and it is said that it largely utilizes the black technology discovered by Queen Diana. But where did these black technologies come from? There must be a reasonable explanation.

Ed opened the door, the entrance was completely dark, and there was a voice in the direction of the living room.

"You should also know how cold the enemy is?"

"But even if you get revenge, everyone won't survive."

"It seems that you and I have nothing to say."

When I walked to the living room, it turned out that C.C. was watching TV without turning on the lights. Ed turned on the light casually, and the sudden bright light made C.C. who had adapted to the darkness shrank. The TV show is a TV series that I haven't watched before, and all the actors and actresses are very seductive. C.C. was wearing a shirt turned out of Ed's closet, holding the large Harrow pillow from last year's shopping draw in his arms. The duck sat on the sofa and stared at the TV watching attentively. The hem of the dress was also very eye-catching.

Ed sat on the sofa and watched it for a while, and then realized that this was the recently hit TV series "08MS Team", because it was not an animation, so I didn't recognize it at first. In the afternoon, I heard people talk about it. It seems that today is the finale? In the picture, the evil-looking villain drove Abu Silas, a circular mobile weapon the size of a mountain, and began to bombard indiscriminately.

"Such a big MA is too nonsense." Ed can't help but want to complain, "This screenwriter has no scientific common sense at all."

"Quiet."

Ed curled his lips and did not choose to continue to complain. As the plot progressed, the pictures on the TV and the animation in the memory gradually overlapped. For a moment, Ed thought he was sitting in his original home, watching a cartoon adapted into a TV series. But that was just an illusion for a moment, and he soon became sober.

It didn’t take long for the story to come to an end. The hero and heroine drove the broken mobile suit towards Abu Silas’s main gun and staged an oversized version of Huang Jiguang blocking the gun’s eye. It crashed to the top of the mountain after sending it out. Amidst the heartbreaking cry of a group of supporting actors, a sad ending song sounded. By the way, this actress who plays Ai Na is pretty good-looking, so I looked back and searched it quietly.

"Unacceptable." C.C. squeezed the Harrow pillow hard, trying to show anger, "This kind of ending is unacceptable. Is there still a blade at home?"

"Maybe there is an easter egg after the ending song? Wait and it's not too late to decide." Although Ed has seen the animated version, after all, it is two things with this TV series. There is no guarantee that the ending will be exactly the same, so I dare not say too much. "Has your personal settings become more and more disintegrated in the past few years? It feels completely different from when you first met."

"I haven't changed at all, or my changes stopped very early. What changed is the familiarity between us and your perception of me." CC turned his head and looked at Ed seriously, " Or do you have any preconceived opinions about my personality before you knew me?"

Ed pretended not to understand the question, got up and walked towards the restaurant. On the dining table, there is a pizza for takeout, half of which is cold. This is probably my dinner? It's not as good as your own nutrient. While putting the pizza in the microwave, Ed secretly slandered himself.

Since the signing of the contract, C.C. will fly to the moon on the first day of the Anaheim shareholders meeting every year and stay in his own home for about a week before leaving, nominally "caring about the growth of contractors." And Ed, who was short-handed, was unable to protest any behavior of C.C. after understanding the astronomical number of shares that C.C. transferred to him. Dangerous dialogues like the one just now were staged every now and then, and Ed always wondered if C.C. had noticed something, and he didn't say anything about it.

Five minutes later, Ed was still eating pizza, C.C. sat at the table with a Harrow pillow, and looked in a good mood. It seems that the TV series ended in a happy ending? The TV is not turned off, and the sound of advertisements coming from the living room can be heard.

"Have you made any progress with your Geass?"

Ed swallowed the last bite of food and drank again: "Not at all, I still don't know what the Geass is for."

"Geass's ability is closely related to the desire of the contractor. Your situation is very special, and I don't know what it will be." CC is also very distressed if there is no progress for so many years. If you don't know the ability, you can't use it. , "Maybe your ability is inability? It's also suitable for Paramecium, isn't it."

Ed was speechless, because he felt that what C.C. said made sense.

"Let’s investigate again when I return to Earth." C.C.'s voice gradually became quieter, "If this continues, I'm afraid I can only go to Tokyo..."

"Why Tokyo?" A familiar place name suddenly appeared. Does Tokyo have anything to do with Geass? Ed vaguely remembers that there is a place called God Island that is related to Geass, not to mention whether the island is in Tokyo, such a place should have been investigated for a long time, and it is definitely impossible to be left by CC as the last option. . so-

"Why don't you ask the magic conch?"

Ed stood up abruptly and stared at C.C.'s eyes. Due to the excessive movement, the cup on the table was touched on the ground by his hand, making a bang.

"Isn't this the sentence you used, why is the reaction so big?" After waiting for about ten seconds, CC broke the silence, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. , Is there any reason why I must never know this sentence?"

Ed was stunned, bent over to pick up the cup, and sat back in silence.

"We have a meeting tomorrow. Let's rest early. I will go back to the room." C.C. chuckled and got up and walked to the original Ed's parents' room, which was occupied a few years ago. Opening the door of the room, C.C. suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, night attacks are not allowed this year."

"Is it necessary to say it every year? I have said that I can't do this kind of thing."

"You just peeked at my thigh many times, right? Although I dressed up like this to express my acquiescence to your behavior, it does not mean that our relationship is close enough to exchange body fluids." CC looked at Ai After being said, De blushed slightly and felt a little happy, "Good night."

With a click, the door was closed.

At the beginning, Ed felt very tired from dealing with C.C., while he must be careful not to leak his mouth, and at the same time complain about C.C.'s various jumping behaviors. Over the past few years, although there is only about one week together each year, Ed has gradually become accustomed to the rhythm of C.C. Since last year, the trough has stopped vomiting, and has simply pretended to be dumb to all kinds of temptations. The "magic conch" just now should be a new routine come up this year, right? Maybe even this will get used to it in a few days.

One night later, when Ed got up to wash, he found that C.C. was already preparing breakfast. Ed, who had finished packing, went to the table and opened the news assistant.

"PLANT infighting! Senator Aznab publicly criticized Speaker Klein's ruling philosophy, the Earth Federation might become the biggest winner?" Ed glanced at the terminal, there is a picture, it is indeed Char. It is estimated that the media is out of context and trying to catch the wind. Ed doesn't believe that Isha's political wisdom will do this kind of thing.

"The Moon's Most Outstanding Person Award held every five years, who will be the winner this year? An exclusive in-depth analysis of the top ten candidates!"

C.C. sat opposite, craned his neck and looked at the terminal: "You are at the top. It's not long before, don't you want to work it out?"

"Today is to go to work." Ed took a leisurely sip of milk. "Whoever wins the prize is the final decision of Queen Diana. There is no more effective way than Prince Roland to blow the pillow wind, right?"

"It's really a despicable method, and it's too unfair to other candidates."

Ed smiled and continued to listen to the news.

"Shocked! Netizens actually took pictures of dragons in their selfies! Is it a fake hype or a subversion of science?"

"How did this thing make the headlines?" Ed felt that this needed to be really shocked. Does this little news assistant's algorithm have to be changed again, "You are a South China tiger and I will recognize it, and you are a dragon. Is it a fool?"

"How can you be sure that there are no dragons in the world?" CC reached out to take the terminal and clicked on the detailed information and opened it, looking very interested. Do you still choose to believe in your common sense? Or is there something else that restricts your cognition and makes you think that Geass is reasonable and dragon is unreasonable?"

"Even Geass has a past principle that seems to be reluctant to say. Dragons are already pure fantasy creatures, right?" Ed did not understand why CC would be interested in this kind of news. "If dragons really exist, what It’s no surprise that angels and BETA both ran out."

C.C. raised his head and looked at Ed deeply, without speaking.

"I'm finished, I'm leaving now."

"hair."

"Eh?"

"Hair is curling up." C.C. continued to lower his head to read the news, and pointed his finger at the top of his head. "Aren't you going to win Prince Roland's favor? At least get a better image."

…

Ed came first, sitting alone in the largest conference room at the Anaheim headquarters.

This is the true headquarters of Anaheim, located in one of the most central areas of the city. This building does not have any R&D and production functions, but a pure administrative building. This meeting room is a fixed place for the annual general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors.

Except for Prince Roland, who represents the plenipotentiary Queen Diana, and herself who lives on the moon, almost all shareholders attended the meeting remotely. Generally speaking, only when a certain shareholder wants to show to the lunar power for some reason will he go to the moon for a meeting in person.

For example, last year, PLANT's neutron interference canceller was successfully developed. Speaker Siegel Klein wanted to secretly develop a nuclear-powered MS with Anaheim. He came to the meeting in person. And I also took this opportunity to go online with Speaker Klein, using a powerful PPT at the Indian CEO level, and drew to the other party such as "Gundam's father self-hosted architecture design", "A new system that only adjusters can use freely", etc. Several big cakes, coupled with multiple methods such as die-hard fans pretending to be his daughter, signing non-disclosure agreements, and donating to PLANT, finally succeeded in obtaining a small neutron interference canceller from the opposite hand. Of course, the moon’s detached status and a symbol of absolute security are also important plus points. Ed can be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants in negotiations.

This year should only be you and Prince Roland, right?

The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Ed stood up reflexively, and was about to greet him when he walked in but was a middle-aged blond man. This man is wearing a dark blue suit and looks about forty years old. He has a short beard above his lips, and the beard on his chin is cleanly shaved, showing a shrewd and capable look. He quickly looked around the meeting room and found Ed, who was standing, with an affectionate smile on his face, and walked over quickly.

"Dr. Adrian, long time no see." The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand.

"Long time no see, Mr. Klein." Ed shook his hand. I didn't expect this person to come again this year, is there anything else?

"I brought you some PLANT specialties. I'm ready to rush. I hope you don't dislike it." As he said, Klein took out a flat square box from the inner pocket of his suit jacket and handed it to Ed. The box is the size of a palm, and the packaging is exquisite, and you can't see what's inside.

"Where, you are too polite." It shouldn't be a big deal, but it's not the time to look at the gift. Ed caught the box and prepared to put it away.

"Speaking of which, Prince Roland hasn't arrived yet." Klein moved his body closer by handing a gift, and his voice was low. "I want to invite Dr. Adrian for lunch after the meeting. convenient?"
