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

Chapter 96 Sera's Gift

"Eh—birthday?"

As soon as Rebil and his group disappeared into the hangar, the others immediately surrounded Eli from top to bottom.

"Birthday, is it the Lieutenant's birthday? Tomorrow, isn't that Christmas?"

"Why didn't you say it!"

The noisy sound instantly drowned out Eli.

As I said before, the atmosphere at the White Base is incredibly friendly, just like one big family.

What's more, Eli doesn't seem to be the kind of person who puts on airs, and he is very popular among the crew members of the White Base.

Speaking of birthdays, everyone naturally wants to celebrate for Eli.

Even on the front lines, there are front-line ways to celebrate.

"Etc., etc!"

Just then, Christina shouted in the crowd and stopped them.

If the White Base is a big family, then Christina, a woman who has only been on the White Base for a short time, has undoubtedly become a head of the family.

As soon as she spoke, everyone stopped making noise and looked at Christina.

Seeing that all eyes were focused on her, Christina coughed slightly and cleared her throat.

"Elaisan, do you want to celebrate your birthday?"

If it were any other time, Christina, as a woman, would definitely use a more emotional approach to solve this matter.

For example, preparing a surprise without telling the person involved.

But as I said before, this is the front line after all, and what to do depends on the opinions of the parties involved.

"No... I used to live with my parents, and now..."

Eli raised his hands in front of him and answered with a slightly forced smile.

The Gunaku fell silent.

The next moment, everyone seemed to have found something they had to do at the same time, and they left the hangar quickly and silently.

No one continued to make a fuss because everyone knew Lieutenant Eli's background.

Only Christina, Amuro and Sera were left.

"Leave it to you, Miss Sera."

Amuro placed his hand on Sera's body with a serious look, then pushed her towards Eli.

Then, Amuro took Christina's wrist and disappeared into the hangar almost in the next moment.

"Huh? No..."

Sera was suddenly pushed over and floated in the air in the hangar, looking frantically at the enlarged Eli in front of her.

The corners of Eli's eyes became much softer, no longer as forced as before.

He reached out and tried to grab Sera's wrist.

But, this boy Amuro seems to be trying too hard!
Sera fluttered and fell into Eli's arms.

Eli was also lifted off the ground of the hangar by this force, and he and Sera were slowly circling in the air in the hangar, hugging each other.

The two of them stared at each other.

"Sad?"

There was some compassion in Sera's eyes.

When birthdays were mentioned, Sera realized that although the man in front of her was older than her, he was only nineteen years old and would soon be twenty.

In peacetime, he should still be in college.

"Not sad."

"Liar."

Sera had no intention of leaving Eli's arms. Instead, she folded her hands, hung them on the back of Eli's neck, and pressed her upper body against Eli's chest.

"I can feel that your heart is sad." Even though there were two layers of cloth between them, Sera knew it clearly.

Sierra placed her ear against Eli's chest, taking in his presence.

Eli remained silent, looking down at Sera's golden hair.

He didn't mind the feeling of having his inner emotions seen through by the person in front of him.

Eli reached out and put his hands on Sera's waist, holding her firmly in his arms.

At this moment, the strong emotions almost broke through Eli's superficial maturity, which he had always disguised by saying "I don't belong to this universe."

Eventually, those emotions turned into a few tears that flowed out of my eyes uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I obviously..."

Eli let go and tried to raise his hand to wipe away his tears.

However, there was a sudden force at the back of his neck, pushing his head down.

On my lips, I felt the materialization of tenderness.

Eli looked in front of him, eyes closed, eyelashes fluttering slightly, and kissed his Sera.

I should just give up on the idea that I don't belong to this world... I have been stuck here for a long time and cannot extricate myself.

Eli closed his eyes and kissed back as he pulled Sierra tighter into his arms.

“It’s so beautiful…”

In the shadow of the passage, Christina raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

She just watched the two of them hugging each other and slowly spinning in the empty hangar.

The two of them kissed right in front of the EZ-SR Gundam.

This scene is simply the most romantic scene in the mind of Christina, who loves machines.

Amuro squatted beside Christina and also leaned his head out to look at Eli.

Seeing Mr. Eli, who seemed to be detached at first, now I can truly feel what he has let go of and what he has accepted.

Amuro was genuinely happy.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Christina, whose eyes were slightly red, and his eyes swept across Christina's lips inconspicuously.

……

No one knew what the conversation between Rebil and Dozle was about.

The only thing known is a photo of Dozle wearing a neat Zeon military uniform, but sitting in front of General Revil and glaring at him.

This photo was rushed and printed on the front page of all newspapers that day. In other words, everyone in the entire Earth circle knew that Dozle had been captured by the Federation Army!
For a time, the federal troops in the entire Solomon Fortress were discussing this matter.

This is really great news for federal soldiers.

But Eli was completely unable to participate in the discussion.

Because, after General Rebil had talked with Dozle for nearly three hours, he actually summoned Eli to the captain's room.

When Eli got the news, he was being affectionate with Sera in the viewing area.

Anyway, Eli came to the captain's room in a dazed state.

If it was for the battle report, I should have already given a comprehensive report to General Tianm, so there was no need for Rebil to ask me any more questions.

Most importantly, when Eli entered the captain's room, he found that only Rebil was inside.

In other words, this was a conversation between Ray Bill and Eli alone.

What we are going to talk about next will be quite personal.

When Eli saw this situation, he immediately understood.

"Lieutenant, you have really given me a difficult problem. Someone in the Federation Congress has proposed to use Dozle as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace with Zeon."

As soon as Eli took his seat at Rebill's instruction, Rebill began to speak.
