Gundam EXARE

Dividing line

The Atlantic Federation will definitely make a comeback, and they will fight to capture Orb for the sake of face.

Is face really that important?

A country's face is so important on the international stage that it is used to measure a country's strength.

Oub is totally asking for trouble and is afraid of losing his life.

But the fight has already happened, what’s the point of saying this now?

The alert ends here temporarily. As of now, there is no sign of the Atlantic Federation making a comeback.

Orb doesn't have to fight the Atlantic Federation for the time being, but there is still a problem ahead.

What's with that red mobile suit? After this battle, the Atlantic Federation will undoubtedly mistake it for Orb's, but Orb doesn't really recognize it.

When Justice rushed out of the sea and the decapitation command ship, Orb was stunned. How come they didn't know that there was such a machine hidden near their own territorial waters?

And when you encounter one inexplicable thing, more inexplicable things may come your way.

The M1 heretic troops, who were still on alert, discovered that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was supposed to be commanding at the military headquarters, jumped out of the car and ran all the way towards them, completely ignoring the white general's uniform she was wearing.

It's dangerous here! Who knows if this machine is friend or foe?

But the moment Cagalli appeared, Justice, who was floating silently in the air, folded up the large gliders on both sides and began to descend towards the main island of Orb.

Before causing more serious alarm, Justice did one more thing. It opened the cockpit installed on the upper chest, and the red-clad ZAFT pilot who left the cockpit raised his hands to show that he had no hostility.

Such an action is enough to show sincerity. It was thanks to the opponent that Orb was able to barely survive this battle.

But the most crucial person is indeed Cagalli. This crazy girl actually ran to such a distance without even taking any precautions.

If you really start a war here, the flying artillery fire will definitely kill her.

The slowly descending Justice stirred up a gust of hot wind filled with dust, and the pilot who had left the cockpit also activated the halyard.

In this way, he really doesn't pose much of a threat, unless you say there is another person in Justice or an AI that can fight autonomously.

Seeing this situation, several M1 heretic pilots who were close enough, including Yasaki, quickly opened the hatch. They grabbed their guns and pulled the lifting ropes to get off the plane.

Killing people doesn't necessarily require using MS. Cagalli is really too reckless.

But thanks to her recklessness, Rey chose to take the risk and leave Justice.

The M1 heretic at the scene didn't know that Rey had just had a brief communication with Orb's military through the Archangel. He hoped that Cagalli could come alone, and Cagalli really came over.

Although no gun was used, Rei did use this method to make Cagalli his hostage.

I'm lying to a stupid girl.

Rey felt a little guilty. Lacus, who looked naive, had a lot on her mind, while Cagalli, who looked impetuous, was innocent in accordance with her age. The gap between people could be so huge.

The halyard was still going down. Cagalli, not knowing whether Ray was calling her stupid in his heart, wiped her forehead. The hot wind blown out by Justice just now made her sweat as she was not used to this kind of clothes.

But she had to see with her own eyes whether the man coming down was him.

I knew he wasn't dead!

Kagalli's argument was very pure—there was no body, so how could you say he was dead?

It sounds strange, but Cagalli really hopes that Rei, whom she has only known for a short time, is okay, because why?

Before Cagalli could think of a reason, Ray had already stepped on the ground, released the halyard and took off his helmet.

He had only one eye beneath his black hair, which seemed to have grown longer than the last time we met.

Cagalli noticed the scar on Rei's tightly closed right eye, and swallowed back what she wanted to say. The tragic scene of Yanhong, whose almost whole body was deformed, appeared in her mind.

Yes, there must be a price to pay for walking through the gates of hell.

Yasaqi, who rushed over with a gun, widened her eyes. Mayura beside her subconsciously said:

“The dead are raised up”

No one thought that Rey could survive, because the Dawn Society had not been able to find Rey in all these days. Could he have been resurrected through photosynthesis?

This sentence brought Cagalli back to her senses, and she subconsciously asked:

"Your eyes aren't."

The girl, who was used to speaking her mind, wanted to scold herself now. Why did she want to rub salt into other people's wounds?

Just when Cagalli was feeling uncomfortable, she discovered that Rei's blind right eye was open. Not only was it open, but the sky-blue pupil was also glowing.

Then that annoying smile appeared on the other person's face, and a possibility arose in Cagalli's mind.

"Yeah, I did it on purpose."

As if he could read his mind, Rei directly admitted his evil intentions.

"You bastard!"

Cagalli cursed without even thinking, and she deserved it.

Rei deliberately closed his right eye and pretended to be blind. It would be fun to play a prank on him after not seeing him for a long time, right?

The estrangement caused by various events and the passage of time completely disappeared, and Cagalli found that Ray was still as evil-minded and liked to play tricks on people as before.

But this man is still the same as before, very reliable at critical moments.

The Archangel, which had just docked at the coast, was impressed by this. Mariu, sitting in the bridge, smiled helplessly. Although she couldn't hear what was going on over there, it was obvious that Cagalli was saying something angrily to Rei.

As always, this man always shows up at the critical moment.

The man was as eloquent as ever with girls.

You want to call him a hero? Have you ever seen a hero who flirts with girls for no reason? He's not noble or righteous at all.

In short, for the Orb army present, Ray is no longer Orb's enemy.

Look at how he interacts with Cagalli. What do you want to do to Her Royal Highness the Princess's friend?

Even without mentioning these, how are you going to describe the person who helped Orb in a battle not long ago? It's hard to describe.

Everyone remembers the scene when Yanhong was taken away. Who could just laugh it off so easily?

Chapter 102 Leader

"I'm really sorry!"

Ah, he apologized.

The color of the sky changed from blue to red. Under the setting sun, Rei apologized very sincerely and reflected deeply on his act of stealing Yanhong.

It was done, and it was wrong.

Just think of the chaos and financial losses caused by stealing the MS that others had spent a lot of money to make without spending a penny.

This is just from a material perspective. The act of betrayal will definitely cause harm to others' hearts.

That's why Rey had to apologize. That's just how he is. Even though he knows it's not good to trash-talk others on the battlefield, he still does it. He reflected on it afterwards and will be better next time!

Let’s not worry about whether we must continue or not do it well.

In short, Rey apologized to the people he hurt.

In fact, not many people knew him, and those who were dissatisfied with his behavior had their worries resolved.

Just think of it as a balance between merit and demerit

The fact that Rey piloted Justice to protect Orb was much more important than the fact that he stole Red. After all, helping someone in need warms the heart.

All everyone needs is an explanation. You can't just not express anything about what you've done.

And since you have expressed your opinion, the merits and demerits will be offset.

""

Uzumi, who was watching from the sidelines, had already reached an age where he was not simple-minded. He wondered whether Rei's behavior was simply out of guilt or had a purpose.

If it is the latter, then he should be the kind of person who understands people's hearts.

Normally, you shouldn't doubt others like this, but think about Rei.

One word is weird

Do you believe that this simple fool picked up an MS with performance far exceeding that of the G series, or do you believe that he is scheming?

This description seems a bit excessive.

Uzumi really couldn't find any good words to describe Rei. After all, it was thanks to Rei that he achieved his goal beyond his expectations.

Speaking of scheming, Uzumi came here to gather people's hearts.

Soldiers' spirit has its limits, and we must show that we value them in order to boost their morale.

It is not a bad thing to understand people's hearts, but it is a bad thing to use it to take advantage of others.

Uzummi is now busy motivating the soldiers, so he leaves first.

And Rey also finished his apology, using it to eliminate the barriers that others had towards him.

As Uzumi suspected, Rei really did understand the human heart, and now it would be much more useful to face up to his mistakes rather than running away from them.

The sunset on the horizon is blocked by patches of fiery clouds, which float quietly in the air. It is a beautiful sight that has not changed on Earth for thousands of years.

No matter what humans do, the Earth doesn't care, it is here and changes over time.

I don't know what she is doing now.

Rey thought of Lux before. After listening to the recording, he wanted to go back, but what could he do when he went back?

Defeat the remaining ZAFT forces single-handedly?

What's the point? Lux couldn't possibly tell him where she was waiting for him, and even if he went back, he might not be able to find Lux.

She is different from me.

Ray feels a little ashamed now. Lux never gave up when he was feeling sorry for himself.

Everyone knows that this road is difficult to walk, and it is not wrong to turn back.

However, when you see someone making a different choice than you, you will always feel bad.

She is very smart.

Know what you want to do, plan and act accordingly.

Although Rey didn't know what Lux wanted to do, he was willing to believe it.

"That sounds nice."

Rei gave a wry smile. He knew he was trying to comfort himself. How big of a heart would it take to not worry? Or else, it meant not caring at all. And Rei cared deeply about his rare companions.

"say what?"

"Ok?"

Rei turned to look at the person who spoke, and it turned out to be Cagalli, who was holding two bottles of energy drinks in her hands.

He had to admit that it was a good thing that the other person's uniform was thick enough, otherwise the water stains would have seeped in and he might have seen something he shouldn't have seen.

Wait, is this a good thing?

The gentleman side of Rey is fighting a desperate battle with his gentleman side!

Not understanding what he was thinking, Cagalli handed one of the drinks to Ray.

"for you."

She has been running around until now, and finally has some free time.

Ray took the drink and thanked him:

"Thank you for your hard work."

Why was Cagalli's uniform a little wet? Because she and the logistics team were running around delivering drinks and food to the soldiers who were exhausted both mentally and physically.

This is also an aspect of winning people's hearts.

That's ridiculous. How could Her Royal Highness the Princess possibly understand all this? She's just a nice person.

The kind princess looked surprised by Ray's thanks.

"So you can speak properly!"

Cagalli was almost used to being pranked by Rei, and for a moment she really couldn't get used to Rei's honest attitude.
