Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Major Wang Ye, perhaps now is not the right time to say this."

"But, has something gone wrong between you and Lieutenant Piris?"

Seeing the two people emerge from the gravity chamber, Sergei should have simply said some polite words about being careful.

However, Sergei, who was initially worried about the safety of the two, looked at Wang Ye and Piris, who were clearly in a bad mood, one in front of the other.

After opening and closing his mouth several times, Sergei, who actually had the awkwardness of an old father, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He asked Wang Ye in a low voice on their private channel.

"No...it's nothing."

What else could Wang Ye, with his strange expression, say but some pleasant words in response to Sergei?

After all, they meant well and were just concerned about you. It wouldn't be right for Wang Ye to say that the reason Piris was upset was...

Wang Liumei acted as his fiancée in the cabin, which is why the super soldier Piris reacted so strongly.

Having severed contact with Sergei, Wang Ye quickened his pace while ensuring his safety.

In a few moments, Wang Ye approached Piris, who was charging forward with his head down, and said...

"Lieutenant Piris, our primary objective is, of course, to remove that metal rod."

"But as long as our own safety can be guaranteed, I don't want you to take any risks."

Without explaining to Piris that Wang Liumei had claimed to be his fiancée, Wang Ye maintained his usual rigorous and serious attitude.

"Received, Major Wang Ye."

Piris answered in a rather cold tone, as if she had instantly returned to the state of blankness she was in when she first met Wang Ye after leaving the super soldier experimental base.

It was obvious that she was keeping everyone at arm's length and didn't want to talk to Wang Ye much.

"Well."

Wang Ye reached out to grab Piris and stop her from rushing so fast, but he pulled his hand back halfway through the movement.

Seeing Piris still charging ahead headfirst, he felt that saying anything more now would be a mistake.

Then there's Super Soldier No. 1. It seems that female instincts still exist in Piris's body, so in this situation, saying nothing might be better than saying something.

Shortly afterward, the two arrived at the point where the two gravity chambers were connected and quickly spotted the metal rod stuck in the hinge.

"Hurry up."

Wang Ye and Piris grabbed the metal rod from above and below, and before pulling it out, Wang Ye gave a low command.

"clear."

The helmeted head nodded up and down, Piris's gaze unwavering.

"One, two, three, pull!"

Seeing that Piris was ready, Wang Ye immediately issued the command to pull, and with Wang Ye's command, the power of Piris's super soldiers came crashing down.

In a silent motion, the metal rod that was preventing the gravity chamber from separating was easily pulled out of the hinge.

"Sazi, you can release the manual valve over there!"

Once the metal rod was pulled out, Wang Ye immediately shouted to Shaci, who had been waiting for a long time on the other end of the communicator.

"Okay, Brother Wang Ye!"

Joyful emotions came through the communicator; Wang Ye and Piris could even hear cheers from the crowd inside the cabin.

Then, the two sat together on the gravity chamber that had escaped danger, which was being pushed by the Iron Man, and watched with a smile as the other gravity chamber, after separating, quickly turned into a fireball due to the Earth's gravity.

"Major, I actually know everything."

Completely unexpectedly, this trip would be so easy. Perhaps because he was about to escape danger, Piris suddenly spoke unexpectedly on their internal communicator.

"Miss Wang Liumei's actions at the time were correct and the best choice under those circumstances."

"She fabricated an identity for herself, and this identity was just right to gain the trust of those troublemakers."

"If Miss Wang Liumei hadn't been taken hostage as your fiancée, even you, Major, wouldn't have been able to proceed with the next step of the plan under those circumstances, would you?"

At this point, Piris looked earnestly at Wang Ye, who was looking at him, and continued.

"Just now, time was the most precious thing. In order to save everyone, we had no room to waste time."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sergei and his comrades who are trapping the Celestial Being Gundam are also working hard, so we have even less reason to get bogged down in certain details."

"This would render everyone's efforts futile."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye smiled nonchalantly, extended his right index and middle fingers together, and then gently tapped the helmet on Piris's forehead.

"You're absolutely right, we all have things we have to do."

"When faced with these necessary tasks, we often have to compromise on some unsatisfactory aspects."

"Look, isn't the result great now? As for the unpleasantness in the process, it's just unpleasantness in the process."

"Yes, Major."

Seeing Wang Ye smiling, seemingly unaccustomed to the slightly ambiguous atmosphere, Piris instinctively turned his head away.

Later, Piris probably felt that her behavior was not good, and just as she was about to turn around and say a few more words to Wang Ye.

Suddenly, the shadow cast by a huge object enveloped the entire gravity chamber and also loomed over the two of them.

"Damn you bastards from the Human Revolutionary Alliance, do you think you can hold me, Hallelujah, back like this?!"

On the international relief channel, a voice filled with violence and malice rang out, a voice that could induce a sense of physical discomfort just by listening to it.

Looking up, Piris, Wang Ye, and everyone else saw the Archangel Gundam, which looked like a demon.

Sergei's heart sank to the bottom of a cold lake, while his three men in the distance had turned into dust in the universe.

The demon that was imprisoned by his three subordinates at the cost of their lives has now come before us, where hope has risen.

"What do you want, Celestial Being's Gundam pilot!"

"Isn't your Celestial Being organization's mission to eradicate war in the world? But what are you doing now?!"

Do you really understand?

In a fit of rage, Sergei quickly shouted into the international public communications channel.

For now, this is the only way he can hope to keep that madman from the Celestial Organization in check with words!

"What am I doing?"

Being so close to Piris, even Hallelujah's patience was starting to crumble under the influence of his brain quantum waves.

Despite the excruciating pain of his brain being churned up by a drill, Hallelujah was determined to smash the Human Revolutionary Alliance super soldier who was the source of this pain into a pulp.

He completely disregarded Sergei's words, believing that only he himself was the most important person and everyone else was dispensable.

Hallelujah's gaze swept over Piris and Wang Ye, but he didn't see Piris's face clearly; he was simply following the direction of the quantum waves in his brain.

"Die, you super soldiers of the People's Revolutionary Alliance!"

With a roar, Hallelujah controlled the Gundam, raised his hand, and then swept it across the battlefield.

"Major!"

The Archangel Gundam's hand missed its target, Piris, and at the crucial moment, Wang Ye pulled Piris out of the attack range of the opponent's hand.

However, the price was that Wang Ye was swept out of the gravity chamber and quickly captured by Earth's gravity.

Seeing this, Piris shouted loudly and tried his best to reach out and grab Wang Ye.

"Mary!"

Now that he could finally see Piris clearly, the crazed Hallelujah was completely stunned...
