Gundam EXARE

Lux, who had handed justice to Ray at the time, escaped from the base and her situation became even more dangerous.

But Patrick only treated Lux ​​as a vase. When he realized that something was wrong, Lux already had a foundation for activities, justice had already landed on Earth, and it was Orb who fired the first shot and the first knife?

No Adjuster would mourn the death of Azrael, the leader of the Blue Cosmos Alliance. He should have died long ago.

Back to the topic, Bartfield continued:

"Although I never thought you were such a delicate person, she probably needs you now."

Bartfield didn't know what kind of emotional journey Lux had with a man who had once captured her, but the trust she showed when she launched the meteor and bet everything on Rey was definitely not false.

Rey reciprocated this trust and even gained many more allies than the Eternal.

At first, Bartfield thought that their entire combat force was just one Eternity and one Justice, but he didn't expect that there were other experts on Rey's side.

It’s great that we have more partners!

But Lux might not be in good condition. No matter how strong she appears to be, she is just a child who has not yet reached adulthood.

At this time, Rei, who had confirmed the situation in advance, scratched his hair. He didn't even want to attend the funeral of his comrades before, let alone face their families.

How can you comfort someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one?

There is only one thing that cannot be done—resurrecting the dead.

Rei took a deep breath with a conflicted expression and made up his mind.

If he is not willing to comfort a child, he has no right to be an adult.

"See you later."

Rei turned and floated away, his mind racing through all the possible scenarios.

I feel sorry for what happened to Siegel.

No, no, you are bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

I'm here to fulfill my promise.

No, no, who would be in the mood to sing after losing a loved one.

Did you see me on Earth? First, Azrael, and next, I'm going to kill—

No, no, she's not a murderer, why are you telling her about her death?

I have a headache.

Rey's teeth started to ache at the thought, but the Eternal was just a battleship after all, and it was normal for it to run into someone from time to time.

Although I haven't seen him yet, his voice has already come over:

"Please conduct a thorough inspection of the Justice and Meteor systems. We haven't completely escaped their pursuit yet, so we must ensure that Justice is in perfect condition."

It was Lux, she was giving orders as the leader.

As mentioned before, the Eternal is a support ship dedicated to Justice, and it is also equipped with equipment specifically for maintaining nuclear reactors.

Lux's idea was correct. It had been more than a month since Rey drove away Justice and reunited with the Eternal. During this time, Justice had never undergone power reactor maintenance.

The anti-neutron jammer is of great importance, and no matter how brave Rey is, he will not let anyone check it casually.

Is Zhengyi, who has experienced many high-intensity battles in this month, in good condition? This can only be determined by examination.

Moreover, this is the first time that the Meteor system is being used in actual combat. God knows if there are any system errors or internal damage.

"Everyone must be under a lot of pressure, but I still hope you can persevere."

Lux's voice, with a hint of coldness, gradually became familiar to her companions, and the gentle singer of the past seemed gone forever.

"Please leave it to us, Miss Lacus!"

What they said does make sense. No one wants to fail because of the wrong state of justice.

The former ZAFT soldier of the Eternal headed towards the maintenance room, not noticing Ray standing silently on the right side of the intersection and listening.

Judging from Lux's performance, she is fine.

Everything is fine? How is that possible?

Who can easily forget their family? It's not like there are any serious family problems.

Rei's thoughts ended there. He flashed out from the aisle and greeted openly:

"Long time no see, Miss."

Lux, who was about to go somewhere else, turned around after hearing the voice and saw the young man who had been away for a long time floating there.

"Nice to meet you, Rei."

Lux responded with a smile, and then saw Ray with his arms folded across his chest with a somewhat unhappy expression. He said:

"Why does it seem like even the words we use seem distant after not seeing each other for over a month? Could it be that our relationship has grown apart?"

As Ray spoke, he pushed the wall with his right hand and bounced himself to Lux's side.

"Or is this not just a compliment, but a genuine happiness?"

If you ask whether he is polite or not, this man is definitely not polite at all and is very sharp-tongued.

It's exactly the same as before, which is reassuring.

Lux was already used to Ray's way of speaking, and she said without any shyness:

"If I wasn't happy, I wouldn't have given you the shooting star."

Lux had no idea that Rey could mobilize so much combat power, and at that time she placed all her hopes on Rey.

There was no other way, even asking Da Costa to contact Rey was a gamble.

"I'm glad you came back. It's worth my worrying about you."

Worrying does not mean you have to stop the other person. Restricting the other person out of worry is just like keeping a bird in a cage.

Just as Rey on Earth would occasionally wonder about Lux's situation, Lux also wondered what Rey would do when he piloted Justice.

Both of them are doing dangerous things. Once they embark on this path, danger is unavoidable, and disgrace is also an outcome.

But everyone already knows this, so there's no need to keep talking about it.

So Rei still focused on lighter topics:

"Are you worried about justice?"

He was joking with Lux. After all, he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only do what Lux wanted.

Since she didn't want to mention it, Rei wouldn't force herself to bring it up.

But he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

"No, I'm just worried about you."

The thing is that Lux has agreed with his words more than once, not to retort or refute. How should I describe it?

Without trying to find an adjective, Rei's eyes first widened a little, then blinked rapidly.

His expression turned into a slightly strange smile, a feeling of being a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed.

not good.

Rey is good at teasing others but not good at being teased. In other words, he is the type of person who is good at attacking but weak at defending.

There is no way. There are many men who are full of fickleness in life, but not many women who will launch a fierce attack on men.

Rei had no such experience. How could there be such a woman who said strange things with a gentle smile?

"what happened?"

Lux tilted her head, looking as if she didn't understand what you were doing.

"I'm just flattered."

Rei came back to his senses from being stunned. What else could he say?

"You sometimes say things that I can't quite react to."

"Really? But I think I'm speaking the truth."

"Um"

Rey wanted to pinch his eyebrows, but Lux was still smiling, and the flowers were shining.

Chapter 124 Small Classroom

The universe, a world completely different from the ground, is the new battlefield of M1 Heresy.

Although the M1 Heretic's high jump ability cannot be fully utilized here, the maneuverability brought by the high thrust is actually better than in a gravity environment.

"Don't just keep moving left and right, but also up and down!"

"Develop muscle memory to ascend immediately upon hearing the warning, because ascending is the fastest movement a mobile suit can perform in space!"

"I mean, going up is the fastest, but don't keep going up when you see artillery fire flying overhead!"

"You have to have eyes behind your back too!"

"Eyes should be on the chin too!"

"There should be eyes in the middle of the forehead too!"

What is this person talking about?

No matter how much Yasaqi admired Ray, she couldn't accept this increasingly abstract statement.

"Instructor, even if genetic modification was done before birth, it's impossible to have five eyes!"

As Yasaki said this, she was shot through by a beam of light coming from directly below the M1 Heretic in the simulated battle.

The performance of the M1 Heresy will vary greatly depending on the driver's ability!

Well, not quite there yet.

However, pilots who are skilled in using the space environment can launch attacks from any direction. There is no gravity here, so if you dive down, you will not be unable to pull up again.

The mock battle ended again. Ray stroked his chin and asked:

"Don't you understand?"

Looking back now, he feels that his words were a bit too abstract.

"Who knows this?"

Mayura refuted Rei without thinking. Her behavior was completely different from Asaki's. It could be said that there was no respect in her words at all.

After all, Mayura had seen what kind of person Rei was last time. Unlike his somewhat unreliable appearance, he was actually very delicate.

Rough yet refined? It reminds me of the historical figure named Yide.

Back to the present, Rei started the simulation device again, and he quickly wrote data on the pulled-out keyboard with both hands.

Immediately afterwards, the current situation was displayed in the new simulated universe.

"Having eyes at your back means paying attention to the rearview mirror on your screen. It's not there for nothing; it allows you to check what's happening behind you. Don't ignore it; you need to be aware of it and slowly develop a habit of looking at it."

Ray said as he piloted the M1 Heresy to move behind Mayura, and then he saw the enemy in the rearview mirror.

"Having eyes on the chin means paying attention to the radar on the dashboard. Have you ever been so focused on something that you didn't hear other sounds? Sometimes, even if the aircraft system has issued a warning, the focused pilot won't be able to respond. In such cases, eyes are more useful than ears."

Before Rei finished speaking, he continued:

"Although neutron interference will disrupt radar over a large area, once you get closer you'll be able to use the radar to determine the number of enemies, the types of aircraft, their positions, and even their altitude. Most of the time, the mechanical eye is more accurate than the human eye."

Understanding the radar gives you an advantage, and it all comes back to one thing:

"First, you have to be aware of it, and then you develop muscle memory. Driving a mobile suit is like physical activity. Only after you develop muscle memory do you have room to think."

Rei's MS classroom is open!

"Hmm."

Yashaqi nodded rapidly, she listened very carefully.

"Then the forehead should also have eyes."

Finally, we come to the last confusing sentence, which actually makes no sense.

"Sorry, I just blurted it out after it came to my mind. Maybe having an eye on the chin is too scary, so I added one on the forehead for symmetry."
