Gundam EXARE

You really can't guess what will come out of his mouth next.

But Malu laughed and she was quite happy.

At this moment, she remembered something that had nothing to do with the war:

"On the contrary, boys will care more about your figure."

Hearing this, Rei recalled the heavy reality of his student days.

"Stop talking about it. I remember that day when a group of men were touching me all over."

Lei Yi had a headache. The female students were quite reserved, while the male students came over, shouting "Wow! Is this true?"

"I didn't know who was touching my butt at the time. I hoped it was a female classmate who had sneaked in."

Otherwise it would be too terrible. We have been classmates for three years and didn’t know that my classmate was gay!

After being lectured by the teacher, Rei understood one thing: clothes cannot be taken off at will, so:

"Then I learned guitar, piano, violin, basketball, soccer, and rugby."

"You didn't learn any?"

"The captain is wise."

Rey raised his hands in surrender. He spent a lot of time working on his body, and the rest of the time was ruined by his fickleness.

Today I see that girls like sports, tomorrow I see that girls like music, I try everything, but I fail in nothing.

“A lot of things happened afterwards.”

It's like joining the army with great enthusiasm, thinking that they are the army of justice.

It's like discovering that reality is different from propaganda, and gradually becoming mentally weak.

It's like a person staying at home and reading and reading.

It's like I traveled through time inexplicably. Now when I think about it, I find that my memories are all vivid. It's really strange.

"Where's the Captain? The Captain from our student days must have been incredibly handsome."

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's an evaluation only women in history books would make."

Malu smiled and shook her head. She also found that Rei could speak a lot of words in one breath without taking a breath. It was amazing.

"I used to"

After trying to recall the past, Malu felt that it would be better not to say anything. The idea of ​​blue cosmos was not something that had only become popular in recent years.

What kind of sports will young students with full vigor and vitality participate in? Isn't it these things?

"Ugh"

Malu sighed, she had to say that things in this world are unpredictable.

Now the Assault and Archangel are the hope of the Earth Army, and it is the Adjuster who drives the Assault to protect the Archangel.

"You are the adjuster, I am the natural."

It seemed as if some incoherent words came out of Mariu's mouth.

"Isn't this nice?"

There were no quarrels or conflicts.

Rei could understand what Mariu wanted to express. Everyone on the Archangel should have thought about something more or less, and he was the same.

"Regardless of whether they are adjusters or natural persons, once there are a lot of people, there will definitely be conflicts."

For example, if two people started arguing and fighting in the park, and both sides are natural persons, you can't blame the regulator, right?

Hey, that’s really possible. It’s all the adjuster’s fault anyway!

"But the environment can alienate people, and the blue cosmos proves this."

Let’s not take the adjusters of the past thirty years as an example. A hundred years ago, people would think that people of color were rude, uncultured, and potential criminals. You see, isn’t it exactly the same?

“If you want to change the environment, you must first get people to change their mindsets.”

Rey understands the truth, but unfortunately the truth and practice are completely different.

If I admit I was wrong, wouldn't I be a clown? Wouldn't everything I've done so far be in vain?

So even if there is definitely no mistake, even if there is a mistake, it is someone else's fault!

Chapter 61 The Third Person

"Since we can't change other people's minds, we can only take care of ourselves."

Rei poked his own head and said, "I'm not asking you to speak out, I'm just asking you not to be assimilated."

“It’s quite difficult though.”

How can one remain untainted since one has emerged from the mud?

If everyone could manage themselves, how could Cosmos have grown to its current size and strength?

"By the way, Captain, I want to change the subject."

After all, there's no point in talking about this here. It's not like he can control the whole world with his mind.

Can we find some interesting topics to talk about late at night?

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

He once saw a statement on the Internet that this passage was equivalent to a confession.

"It is very beautiful, completely different from when we were in space."

Malu responded naturally, it seemed that she didn't understand this.

In fact, after the topic became serious again, Malu thought of one thing:

"Rei, let me ask you a question."

Her question was a bit excessive, or even completely inappropriate.

The students were not real soldiers, judging by their age, but Ray looked young but was a complete adult.

But putting appearances aside, consider again what will happen as the Archangel heads to Orb.

"Will you disembark at Orb?"

This is a confusing question. Rei originally planned to get off the ship after arriving in Orb.

They had to go to Orb. It was impossible to let Cagalli stay on the ship and go to the Alaska base with them. Secondly, there was Lacus, and she could not be handed over to the Earth Army.

In the afternoon, Rei asked Cagalli if Orb was still neutral, and Cagalli said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

All things considered, Orb is a great choice.

Actually, there is no choice. Should I tell the ZAFT pursuers that I will return Lux to you and you will just leave?

Isn't this just gambling on the enemy's moral level? You can't afford to gamble.

After thinking for a moment, Ray asked back:

"So you want me to get off the boat?"

He swallowed the words "If you ask me for something" in a serious state, and then heard the answer:

"I do not know."

Mariu didn't know either. Although Orb was a hidden ally of the Earth Union, it was impossible for Orb to sail all the way to send the Archangel to the Alaskan base.

If Ray and the others disembark, the only available combat forces will be Mu and Qiang Xi.

The combat power of the Archangel was directly weakened by half. What if the ZAFT army attacks again on the way?

The above is a consideration of the current issues, and considering the more distant future:

"If you and the Archangel go to the Alaskan base, I don't know what will happen next."

Although the higher-ups wouldn't do something as foolish as killing me just because I'm an Adjuster, they certainly wouldn't let a pilot like Ray go.

"I can neither promise you anything nor protect you completely."

This is the problem that Mariu is struggling with. She knows Ray's driving skills, Kira's talent and his importance in the maintenance room.

However, the temporary captain of the Archangel was actually unable to protect her crew members at all, and she even had to rely on others for protection.

“So I don’t know.”

Maru couldn't take sides. If she let Ray and the others get off the ship, it would be tantamount to being irresponsible to the remaining crew members. If she didn't let Ray and the others get off the ship, it would be tantamount to forcing others to go to the battlefield.

For Rei, Maru's hesitation on this matter was actually a good thing, because it proved that he was not wrong about the person.

"What a coincidence, I didn't know either."

Rey has always been in this state, he thinks a lot but can do very little.

"But what I want to do most right now is to protect the Archangel."

Let’s talk about the future later. Even if you ask Rey to give an answer, he won’t be able to give it.

"What follows is my opinion from the perspective of a bystander from the neutral country of Orb."

It will sound a bit harsh.

"I think the Earth Army that starts the war by massacring civilians is not a good thing."

Mariu had no way to refute it, as she herself had seen the miserable state of Junius 7.

"ZAFT, for strategic reasons, dropped neutron jammers on Earth to block nuclear technology, causing such a severe energy crisis. This practice of putting others at risk for their own safety is bound to have a huge negative impact."

The Earth Army used extreme measures from the beginning, and ZAFT also used extreme measures to retaliate.

What will happen if you lose the bottom line at the beginning?

The life of a natural person is life, and the life of an adjuster is also life. Are we going to play a game of comparing numbers next?

"In my opinion, the Earth United leadership who decided to drop the nuclear bomb should be hanged, but I can't guarantee that the PLANT leadership is sane."

This is the crux of the matter. As an Orb native, Ray neither understands the extreme ideas of Cosmos nor can he empathize with the adjusters of PLANT.

Humans are the kind of creatures who cannot understand pain unless they experience it themselves.

Rey was only worried about one thing, that is, using extreme measures followed by very extreme measures and even very extreme measures.

"I've read about nuclear winter in books before. It's a long time ago that humans mastered weapons that could destroy human civilization."

So what about weapons in this era?

"Will humanity be destroyed in this war?"

Rei asked this question seriously, but Mari still couldn't answer it. After all, this question was too unrealistic.

The claim that war destroys humanity is also a thing of the past.

"When I was a kid, I saw two classmates fighting."

Rei changed the subject and began to reminisce about the past.

"They started fighting, and then the students who tried to stop them were also beaten. It seemed like no one could stop them."

He showed a very strange expression in the night, and then continued:

"In the end, it wasn't about who won the fight, but the teacher, who seemed to us elementary school students to be absolutely powerless to resist, ran over and pulled them apart."

For primary school students, teachers are authority and justice, and it is impossible for primary school students to defeat their adult teachers in terms of strength.

There is only one reason to say this at this time:

"If only war were that simple."

Rei's mind was full of memories, and these double memories naturally included childhood memories.

I saw war news when I was a child, and the child’s innocent mind once had such a simple idea: why don’t we defeat them all?

Because neither side was willing to give in no matter what, they continued to fight each other.

Can't someone stop both parties at the same time like an adult pulling two children apart?

When he grew up, Rei discovered that the two children were fighting because they were instigated by adults. The world is not that simple.

“Although most people are simple, some people sit in complicated positions and think complicated things, making the world complicated.”

Before the Junius 7 incident, did all the adjusters in PLANT shout about using violence to gain independence?
