Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 11: Battle Interval
"I am extremely sorry, Lord Ginias, that I was unable to save that position."

Norris, with a bloody bandage wrapped around his right arm, spoke to the man in front of him with shame.

Ginias Sakhalin, the current head of the Sakhalin family to which Norris is loyal.

But as for the family, there are only Ginias and his sister nowadays.

This is also the reason why the once glorious Sakhalin family appeared on this Southeast Asian battlefield.

Kinias wants to revive the Sakhalin family with his grand plan.

Based on this, Norris, who compared himself to a retainer, could not accept that his failure would affect Cinias' plan.

"It's okay, just a few losses. As long as Apsaras can succeed, these losses will not be a problem."

Certainly, Ginias would not punish himself Norris for an insignificant artillery position.

"You should take good care of yourself. The test flight will be carried out soon. Without your escort, Aina will not be safe in the sky."

Ginis smiled kindly at Norris, and even personally reached out to tighten the bandage that Norris had not bandaged properly because he was in a hurry to come and apologize.

"Boom!"

Ginis had just finished bandaging the wound on Norris's right arm when the sound of a clock chimed.

"squeak…"

There was a sound of a heavy wooden door being pushed open.

"Brother, it's time to take medicine."

The person who came was the Aina mentioned by Kinyas, another member of the Sakhalin family and Kinyas's sister.

Aina was wearing a standard uniform and holding a tray with water and pills in glass cups on it.

She stopped in front of Ginis and smiled at him.

Then his gaze turned to Norris, and after seeing the wound on his right arm, worry appeared in his eyes.

"Are you okay, Norris?"

Aina put the tray in her hand on the coffee table beside her and gently lifted Norris's right arm with her hand.

"It's okay, Ms. Aina. It's just a minor injury that won't affect Apsaras' test flight mission. Allow me to take my leave and go rest."

Norris waited for Aina to finish the examination and feel relieved before he said goodbye to the two of them.

Ginis nodded, and Aina waved at him.

Norris left, leaving the space to the brother and sister.

After watching Norris leave the room, Aina turned around and looked at her brother.

Ginis was now sitting on the sofa, taking the medicine with the water on the coffee table.

Ina walked over slowly, sat next to Ginis, and then lay on top of Ginis.

"My brother's dream is about to come true."

Aina watched Ginias swallow the medicine and spoke.

“There’s still a long way to go, but at least we’ve taken the first step.”

Ginis also gently stroked Aina's neat short hair.

Even though her hair was cut short to facilitate driving MS, Aina's hair was still smooth to the touch and full of feminine charm.

Just like Aina herself is a beauty, that smell will not change due to her appearance.

"How is the status of Apsaras?"

As the person in charge of the Apsaras Project, Ginias was naturally aware of its status.

But he still asked Aina.

For him, this is their way of communicating their emotions as siblings.

"Well, everything is perfect, but the air conditioning doesn't seem to be very effective. I'm sweating all over."

Aina answered her brother in a slightly playful manner.

Until just now, she had been coordinating and making adjustments in the cockpit of Apsaras.

As soon as she got off the plane, she came here with medicine without even changing her clothes. "Is that so...be patient. Changing clothes now will affect the test flight."

Even though his sister made this request, Ginis did not compromise and showed how much he cherished his sister.

Aina didn't continue to act like a spoiled child.

She lay quietly on Ginias's chest, feeling his heartbeat.

All this was the dream of Kinyas, to complete the Apsaras and revive the Sakhalin family.

Because of this, Ginis couldn't even tolerate anyone else serving as the test pilot of the Apsaras, and he would only feel at ease if his own sister was flying the plane.

Aina had no complaints about this.

"This is all as it should be."

Aina felt Ginias's weak heartbeat, allowed the guilt in her heart to overwhelm her, and followed Ginias's arrangements.

……

Shirou Amada put away the women's pocket watch in his hand.

For some reason it suddenly rang just now, disturbing Shirou's sweet dream.

This pocket watch rings at this time every day. I guess it is a very important time for her.

With this in mind, Shiro Amada did not touch the pocket watch or cancel the timing.

But today they had just returned to the base to rest, and Shirou Amada and the others were sleeping.

"That's really noisy. Did your girlfriend give this to you?"

Eli, who was also an officer and lived with Shirou Amada, rubbed his eyes and sat up on the bed, teasing Shirou Amada.

Of course, Eli knew exactly what this pocket watch was, but if he pointed it out directly, it would be too shocking.

Besides, there was something else Eli wanted to know.

Now that he has joined the battle against Zeon, what kind of feelings does Shirou Amada have for Aina?
"Did I wake you up? Sorry. This, of course, is not my girlfriend. How can I have such thoughts in my current state?"

Shirou Amada apologized to Eli first before answering Eli's question.

"This is something my friend gave me. I may never see it again, so just think of it as a reminder."

Shirou Amada looked at the pocket watch in his hand, with some regret in his words.

So what is the reason for regret? Is it because of the regret that I couldn't go with Aina at that time, or is it because I miss the time when the two of them were together regardless of their positions?

Eli didn't pursue the question further, but climbed out of bed and got dressed.

"Are you going out?"

Shirou Amada asked when he saw Eli like this.

"Go prepare the machine. I have some weapons I want to use."

Eli, of course, had nothing to hide, and said to Shirou Amada.

"what is it?"

"Beam rifle."

"What are you doing with this all of a sudden?"

Amada Shirou asked doubtfully.

The Land Combat Gundam can also use beam rifles, but the beam rifles can only be used about ten times in a battle before their energy is exhausted and they cannot be recharged on the battlefield.

In addition, Southeast Asia is a region with abundant moisture, and the precious beam rifle often encounters various problems.

Moreover, abundant water vapor will affect the accuracy of shooting to a certain extent, so most of these weapons are sealed in warehouses and rarely used.

Eli naturally knew these things.

He turned and smiled at Shirou Amada.

"Just call it my intuition."
