Gundam EXARE

"Want a woman to treat us?"

"Equality between men and women."

Ray said without being shy at all, causing Maru to chuckle.

"Then I'll think about it."

Malu neither accepted nor refused, and responded politely while maintaining a good social distance.

Rei didn't mind all this. After all, he'd been to many women like that, so who would take it seriously? Showing interest appropriately was actually a good way to get closer to women.

After some back and forth like this, a look of distress appeared on Malu's face, because she really didn't understand psychology. Who could tell her how a psychologist would ask someone if they were sick?

You can't just say you're sick.

To be more tactful, to be more tactful is uh

"Rey."

"Ah."

Ray looked at Maru and smiled. He wanted to hear what the captain would say. Then Maru said:

"If you feel stressed, you can discuss it with me."

Although Malu doesn't understand psychology, she still knows some common sense, such as people with mental illness do not want others to know that they are sick.

As the captain, you naturally have to care about the psychological problems of the crew and be considerate of their feelings.

"Does that mean I can come to the Captain privately?"

Rei's words alone really make people think a lot.

“Just words to talk about.”

After a moment's hesitation, Maru finally gave a positive answer, followed by Ray's laughter:

"Haha."

The laughter made Malu immediately realize that she seemed to have been fooled, and a slightly unhappy expression appeared on her face.

Chapter 29: On the Voyage (Part 2)

Rei apologized and felt a little guilty for accidentally making someone unhappy.

Because he did it on purpose. It's nice to see a beautiful woman frown, right?

The joke ended here. As soon as Mariu opened her mouth, Rei knew what she was talking about.

This is not the first time he has encountered this. He was confronted by his teammates for the same thing when he was in AEU before, but it was not him who discovered the problem and went to see a psychologist.

He had said some very vicious things before in Junius 7, and Ray was well aware of it.

“Sometimes it’s like there’s a fog in my head.”

He smiled and spoke his true thoughts. After all, he had been diagnosed with a disease by a psychiatrist before, so he could be said to be very experienced.

"It's like there's another person in my head."

Rei's description was so strange that it even made people think he was really sick.

"But don't worry. After I deliver the Archangel to the lunar headquarters, I'll get off the ship and return to Orb to seek treatment from a psychiatrist."

He didn't seem to care much about it, because everything had to wait until the dust settled. If the enemy was not shot down, the Archangel would be shot down next.

Rey deeply understood how dangerous it was for the enemies chasing the Archangel. Lacus had asked him before who his enemy was. Let's not worry about those distant things for now. Now the enemy of the Archangel is his enemy.

From Rey's perspective, he doesn't know whether ZAFT wants to capture the ship or sink it. Is he going to gamble his life on the enemy's mercy?

At this moment, he was also a member of the war. Compared with his fellow adjusters who did not grow up in the same hometown and whom he did not really know, he chose the Archangel that was right next to him.

From this point of view, he felt that Kira was much kinder than him.

That's right, people like him have nothing to do with kindness. Even if you use the theory of time travel, he has already pulled the trigger and killed someone here.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain. This is not enough to express my gratitude."

Rei felt that if he hadn't been holding the plate in his hand, he would have definitely added some body language to express himself.

But Mariu felt a little uncomfortable. She came here to care about Rei's mental health, but what was going on now?

Without waiting for Mariu to think any further, Ray said excitedly as if he had thought of something good:

"When it's safe, we'll go out together. You can buy whatever you want. It's all on me."

This is what Malu is not used to. She is not actually a very proactive person.

What about Rei? Actually, Maru felt that Rei was in control of all the conversations. She wasn't used to being led around like that.

Then again, you're a little bit wrong.

"Didn't we just have a drink? How did it become a date?"

If you're drinking, you can always leave, but if you say you're going out shopping, isn't that just window shopping? Isn't that just a date?

Maru, who had never actually heard what Ray said during the battle, began to wonder if Ray really had a mental problem.

"Dating me wouldn't be such a bad idea, right?"

Rei straightened his chest, but couldn't put his hands on his hips because he had a plate in his hand.

"I'm a handsome guy anyway."

"How can anyone brag about himself like this?"

"Now it is."

Should you say that this person is persistent and optimistic, or call him shameless?

Mari could only say that she felt relieved. After all, Rei's behavior was still quite good. He wasn't in a state of wanting to die or being violent and hurtful.

"Then I'll think about it."

As if inspired, Malu said this with a smile, and the slight unhappiness he had felt before had long since disappeared.

That's good. Rey dispelled other people's worries and responded to the kindness shown to him by others.

But he knew one thing in his heart—that it was an impossible promise.

Because he is a test pilot of the Aurora Society and Mari is a soldier of the Earth Army, he will get off the ship with Kira and the others after arriving at the lunar base.

Is this really good?

It’s not that Ray wants to join the army directly to protect Maru, the two of them don’t have a particularly close relationship.

However, in the brief time they spent together, Rei could see what kind of people Mu and Malu were. Unfortunately, good people did not get preferential treatment on the battlefield and might suddenly die at some point.

They are soldiers of the Earth Army and they will fight for the Earth Union.

But why was this war fought? Was it for the country, for the people?

""

Rei suddenly thought of someone, the pink-haired girl who asked him a question - Aren't you thirsty?

The Earth Army during wartime cannot allow soldiers to retire.

Rey admitted that what Lux said was right. There was indeed a hunger in his heart that he had not found a way to relieve, and it was this hunger that made him gradually become twisted.

Dividing line

The three backpacks of the Assault each have their own weight. It is indeed possible to install all three equipment at the same time, but the weight of the machine will increase to a terrifying level, which will greatly reduce the maneuverability of the machine.

"No problem, let me make up for it with courage and skills."

Mu clearly realized one thing: just dodging was useless. Just because he could dodge didn't mean the Archangel could be as agile.

What's the point of him hiding there? There's no way to escape the crisis unless the Archangel is shot down by the enemy.

The weak number of armed forces makes it difficult for Mu to use them, so he now uses mobility to exchange for firepower.

At this time, another question arises, that is, whether the body has enough energy.

A cannon-equipped Flame God, an air-mounted 57mm high-energy beam rifle, two beam sabers, an anti-ship sword, and a beam boomerang. Can the energy of the assault rifle be enough to support so many weapons?

"No problem, let me make up for it with courage and skills."

Carrying a weapon on your body doesn't consume any power, so why don't you just not activate it?

It's not like the Strike is an octopus-type MS that can use eight robotic arms to wield different weapons at the same time, firing and swinging swords at the same time.

As for the battery issue, if you can't hit anyone no matter how hard you try, isn't that just a waste of power? As long as you can shoot down the enemy, it's not a waste of power.

Mu's only goal is firepower. He needs multiple firepower options, so he combines the three types of assault backpacks together.

Kira was sitting next to the cockpit of the Raider, and he was the one who was writing the three-in-one Raider.

"Captain, I can lower the power of the Flame God to save the burden on the Perfect Assault. What do you think?"

The good thing about the beam rifle is that it doesn't have any real ammunition, it consumes power directly connected to the body to shoot out the beam.

In other words, the power of a weapon can be forcibly changed through programming.

This is what Kira's proposal means now. By weakening the power and range of the Flame God, power can be saved, allowing it to fire more times and allowing the Perfect Assault to fight longer.

"I think it's great, even the name Perfect Assault is great!"

Although it was a bit inappropriate, Mu felt that the Archangel had really found a treasure.

If it weren't for Kira, the engineer, a perfect assault would be just a pipe dream.

"By the way, are you and Seitor in the same grade?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Kira didn't understand what Mu meant, but Mu's meaning was very simple:

"I thought you had already skipped several levels."

It's not like Mu hadn't seen the original test pilots on the way to Heliopolis. The OS they used couldn't even make the machine move.

In other words, the OS engineers on the Earth Army's side are completely inferior to Kira. Even if Kira is an adjuster, it is a bit too exaggerated.

Although I have seen those geniuses mentioned on the Internet from time to time

But Mu never thought that he would actually encounter it in real life.

Facing Mu's words, Kira shook his head and replied:

"Skipping grades is troublesome, and I don't want to be separated from my friends."

Skipping a grade? And then being surrounded by people and praised for being awesome?

Kira had no interest in this. He had no goals to strive for, and the reason he chose this major was simply because it was easy.

After graduation, you can make money just by sitting still and typing your fingers on the keyboard. Isn’t that great?

Kira only wants to live a peaceful, stable and idle life. He feels that as long as he can be lazy and fish, he will be happy.

Mu in the cockpit clearly felt Kira's desire.

"That's it."

He felt an even greater sense of responsibility. At this moment, he was not acting as a soldier, but as an adult who wanted Kira and the others to return to Orb safely.

This is a battlefield, and the Archangel will definitely fight a fierce battle later.

Whether it was fate or not, these young people had been drawn into the war.

Crossing a fierce battle means killing. What else is there on the battlefield besides killing?

So

"Should I follow Rei's example?"

Mu had to admit that it was difficult to evaluate Rey's mouth. If it weren't for his vicious mouth, Cruze and Holy Shield would have run away long ago and would never have turned around to fight.

To survive, you must use all means.

"You bastard!"

""

Silence, Kira didn't understand why Mu suddenly started cursing.

""

Silence. Mu couldn't think of any other curse words. It seemed that his quality was a little too high.
