February 7, CE71, around 8:30 standard time
Although there was a slight accident during the bath, Lacus was still prepared to follow the scheduled plan and first go to inspect and express condolences to the crew members of Silver Wind.
Putting on the clean personal clothes in the suitcase transferred from Silver Wind, and taking the pink Haro, Lacus was ready to follow the prompts given by the female guard before and head to the dormitory area where the Silver Wind crew members were located.
Turning left when going out, just as Lacus passed by the dormitory door of Flay and Cagalli with a little curiosity, Cagalli suddenly opened the dormitory door and rushed out. If Lacus hadn't been Coordinator, he would have been hit.
"Ah, I'm sorry, ah, it's Lacus. Sorry, I'm a little anxious."
Cagalli initially just apologized with his eyes closed, but after seeing that it was Lacus, he stopped in a hurry.
"Gui'an, Cagalli. Where are you going in a hurry?"
Although Cagalli was very anxious, since it was Lacus's inquiry, Cagalli responded patiently.
"The daily training for mobile weapons pilots in the Gna cabin is about to begin. If you are late for no reason, you will be scolded by Sister Cima."
Lacus was about to say something, but the impatient complaining sound of Flay, who had not yet woken up, came from the room.
"Cagalli You are so annoying! If you have anything to say, please close the door before talking."
Faced with Flay's "getting up" mood, the experienced Cagalli took a few steps outside without saying a word, so that the door of the room could be closed automatically;
The considerate Lacus also rushed to let Cagalli go before Cagalli could say anything else.
"Sorry, Cagalli, for causing you trouble.
Go quickly, I also plan to visit the crew of Silver Wind."
"Ah, sorry, I'll leave first then."
After listening to Lacus's words, Cagalli, who was only wearing a vest, grabbed his coat and went downstairs first;
Lacus looked at Cagalli's retreating figure and followed him downstairs.
Although it is an unfamiliar environment, relying on Coordinator's 'high performance', Lacus still has room to think about some insignificant details:
Just now, when Cagalli was standing at the door and blocking the door, Lacus naturally saw the inside of their dormitory.
In addition to Cagalli's unexpectedly neat bed, and Flay who was wearing pajamas just like Lacus earlier but looked a little scruffy when sleeping, the breakfast on the table for two also slightly aroused Lacus's interest.
Although Cagalli eats clean food, it can still be judged from the utensils that it is Japanese breakfast. Although it is not directly related, it is corroborated with some small gossips founded by Orb.
In contrast, as the daughter of Atlantic Federation's deputy minister of foreign affairs, Flay's original continental breakfast seemed bland.
Thinking like this, Lacus has already walked down the stairs and walked on the corridor to the other end;
People came and went from time to time in the noncommissioned officer's dormitory of 'Celestial Being' who was passing by. When they saw the unfamiliar Lacus, they all took the initiative to salute.
Considering that Luther probably did not need to report his situation to the whole ship, Lacus felt that these noncommissioned officers might have a small 'misunderstanding' about their identity;
In contrast, after noticing the commotion here from a distance, the Silver Wind crew member saluting him while 'calling out friends' was much easier to understand;
When Lacus walked to their dormitory area, almost everyone was already dressed and lined up to welcome them.
"Thank you everyone for your hard work.
Don't be so nervous. I see some people haven't finished their breakfast yet, so let's go ahead and have breakfast.
We should be leaving Gwameir today, but the specific situation is not yet clear, so we must make full preparations while we have the time now."
Lacus walked and talked all the way, agreeing with all the crew members, and finally came to Captain Silver Wind who was assigned to the dormitory closest to the stairs - he voluntarily gave up the two-person dormitory on the upper floor and chose to live with the crew.
"Lacus-sama."
"Captain, how is the situation?"
Faced with Lacus's vague inquiry, the captain answered seriously.
"Together with the assisting staff of 'Celestial Being', we completed a thorough overhaul of Silver Wind last night and can leave at any time.
Although the crew is a little unaccustomed to it, they have also received sufficient rest and are ready for everything."
"Thank you for your hard work.
As I said just now, we should leave Gwameir today, but the specific situation is not yet certain.
I will go to the bridge to find Mr. Luther·Deikun later. Please follow the guidance of 'Celestial Being'."
Faced with Captain Silver Wind's serious answer, Lacus naturally responded with a serious explanation of the situation.
"Yes, Master Lacus."
"Seeing that everyone is doing well, I feel relieved.
Then I won't disturb everyone's rest and preparation. Captain, let's get ready.
When I successfully return to the Plant, in addition to the rewards from my father, I will also provide each crew member with front-row tickets to the next concert. I hope you all like it."
Lacus's promise directly caused whispers among the crew members who were watching, and the captain naturally did not miss this opportunity to boost morale.
"Young children, you have all heard it and are now getting ready."
"Oh!" (harmony)
After nodding to everyone again, Lacus waved goodbye to everyone while going upstairs to return to the floor where his dormitory was.
"What a clever skill, Miss Lacus."
Before I could go upstairs, I heard the voice of 'Uncle George' coming from upstairs;
Lacus looked up and saw George·Alstar, the deputy foreign minister wearing only a shirt, standing at the top of the stairs, looking at him with a smile.
"I'm making you laugh. Uncle George, is your dormitory arranged on the edge of this side?"
"The simulated gravity at both ends will be slightly better. It seems that this is the intentional arrangement of Mr. Luther. After all, the next floor above is the harem of Mr. Luther."
Regarding the joke of George·Alstar, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lacus was a little difficult to answer, so he changed the topic to the content related to the previous topic.
"Uncle George should be leaving today too, right?"
George·Alstar The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs nodded, then took out the suit and briefcase that had been placed at the door from his room, and took the lead in walking towards the road leading to the bridge. Lacus followed suit tacitly.
"Yes, it's the same as Miss Lacus.
After all, the results of the talks need to be reported and implemented as soon as possible.
But I really didn't expect that this time it would be so smooth, and it was worth taking the risk to go to the front line."
"I hope that this cooperation can be used as an opportunity to eventually promote peace between Plant and Earth Alliance."
Regarding the "goodwill" released by George·Alstar, the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lacus·Klein, as Clyne Faction, would naturally not miss it, so he responded in this way.
