Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 629: Tearing (Part )
"Lars, am I wrong?"

The wall behind her was like a piece of ice, constantly absorbing Cagalli's body temperature. Perhaps to seek some support for her actions, Cagalli held up the screen in her hand, her tone full of self-doubt.

"Then let me ask you, are you willing to watch Siegfried leave? I can't accept that our child has lost his father before he is even born. If I were you, I would do the same. There is no right or wrong in this matter."

Lars's answer was very idealistic, but her tone was very firm. Through Cagalli's retelling, she knew that the situation at that time was extremely critical. Even Hilde didn't know how to stop Siegfried who wanted to quantum jump, so Cagalli naturally followed her instinct and made a choice.

In retrospect, this approach was full of passion and recklessness. Once Siegfried did not respond, Orb would immediately lose its two major pillars of military and political power. Without the Asha family as a ballast, Mina alone would completely lose the hope of competing for the chairmanship.

Not to mention the remaining celestial beings, Hilde is likely to become the second Patrick, and Aslan's identity also means that he will never get the same level of support as he does now. In this case, Lacus and Kira have not yet joined forces, and it is simply a matter of course for humans to trot directly into self-destruction.

So to the world, there is nothing wrong with Cagalli's choice. It is understandable that she and Lars do not want to see their husbands leave. The only question is whether Siegfried himself really wants this result, but no one can answer this question for him either.

"I don't believe he really wanted to leave at that time. I can sense Siegfried's thoughts. That's not what he really thinks. If I don't jump, I will definitely regret it!"

The decisive voice echoed in the empty doorway. It was never Cagalli's character to look ahead and behind. The slight self-doubt she had just now would only appear in front of her "family". If Siegfried really didn't care and had to leave this world, she would have died in Rio by now, instead of being firmly protected by Phoenix and finally landing safely on the ground.

Not far away, the atmosphere between Stella, Shin Asuka and Luna was even more silent. After a long time, perhaps unable to bear such an atmosphere, Luna, who had been standing with her hands behind her back, kicked the ground and muttered softly.

"I don't like this. I'm the only one in the team who was on standby twice. I'm not that bad."

"Luna."

Zhen opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort Luna, because he knew very well that there was only one reason why Aslan arranged Luna to be on standby, that was her poor skills. Whether it was Berlin against Compass or Rio to besiege Phoenix, Luna did not get permission to attack at all.

Perhaps it was because Aslan had always been dealing with either childhood friends like Isaac or military templates like Heine, so he seldom explained the orders he issued to his subordinates. It was only because Kotori was too dazzling as a newcomer that Aslan paid a little more attention to her. But for a girl as thoughtful as Luna, she couldn't help but think about her position in the team.

"Letting a rookie attack is no different from murder."

Unlike Zhen who had some reservations, Stella said whatever came to her mind. Although the last time she drove a MS was when the Heavenly Pillar was evacuated and she was almost captured by Thiago, this did not affect her ability to distinguish who was strong and who was weak in the Celestial Being team. Perhaps it was that Luna was too obviously weak, and even Stella could see it at a glance.

"Stella"

He looked at the usually taciturn Stella with embarrassment. He really didn't know why she and Luna were born to be incompatible. After all, with Stella's personality, she rarely really hated someone.

But at the same time, he really knew that what Stella said was the truth. Letting Luna go out to fight Shura was pure murder. Aslan must be crazy to give such an order.

"Forget it, she's right, I'm not capable enough. Didn't Siegfried say that all tragedies in this world are due to one's own lack of ability?"

Luna laughed at herself, surprisingly she did not refute Stella. Lies don't hurt people, the truth is sometimes the sharpest. In the whole Tianren team, even Canard can deal with Luna in a few rounds, and he doesn't even need Liuli's help. But she has a very strong personality, and lying down is no different from a slap in the face in Luna's eyes.

The conversation between the three people was overheard by Mu who pushed the door open. Mu was actually aware of Luna's embarrassing situation.

From a military perspective, he naturally fully supports Aslan's decision, but from a teammate's perspective, he feels that Luna's current mentality is somewhat dangerous. If Luna can't stand this marginalized arrangement and forces an attack in a future mission, it may lead to irreversible consequences.

"In fact, it is normal for a team to have strong and weak people. Different abilities naturally lead to different divisions of labor, but I believe that there are no useless people in the world."

"Uncle Mu, but I."

"Then let me ask you, if another Compass person comes while we are intercepting Siegfried, and the only one who can move on the scene is that kid's 1.5 Gundam, will you attack without hesitation?"

"Of course!"

"What if the opponent is very strong and your life is in danger?"

"Then I will try my best to buy you some time and avoid a head-on battle."

"Look, there are no such things as unimportant people. Just because an accident didn't happen this time doesn't mean it won't happen next time or the next time. At that time, you'll be the only one on the team. As long as you can execute the order without hesitation, you'll be a good teammate."

He patted Luna's shoulder with a look of relief. After a moment, Mu seemed to remember something and added, "But you have to believe that the five of us men will not let you face life and death moments under normal circumstances. Hahahaha, my words are a bit chauvinistic, don't mind."

Just as Mu was trying to dispel the awkwardness of the scene with laughter, the red light on the lintel of the emergency room suddenly turned green. Everyone quickly restrained their emotions and stood at the door. After a while, Hilde, with a tired face, slowly pushed open the door and walked out.

"elder sister!"

Holding down the anxious Cagalli and Stella with one hand each, Mu first took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his pocket, then signaled everyone to be more considerate of Hilde's mental condition before silently standing aside.

"The external injuries on his body have been treated, but he is still in a coma. This is probably because he forced a quantum leap when he was weak. Fortunately, he was stopped by Cagalli at the last moment. Otherwise, given his condition at the time, entering the quantum space without any consciousness would probably have annihilated his body into atoms."

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Hilde's eyes softened a bit. She looked into Cagalli's eyes seriously and spoke in a very gentle voice for the first time.
"As expected of the idiot wife of idiot number one."

"elder sister."

"Thank you, you did a great job. You saved Siegfried."
