--Earlier, Silver Wind bridge--
Although Mr. Luther, who has the ability to foresee, has ensured safety, Silver Wind has to travel through a war zone after all.
Therefore, Lacus·Klein is wearing standard clothes, holding the pink Haro, and sitting quietly in the VIP seat behind the captain's seat on the bridge of Silver Wind;
In my mind, I recalled what George·Alstar, the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, said in his capacity as uncle George when he was walking from the Gwameir bridge to the boat deck.
Of course, the things that need to be discussed have already been discussed, so it was just a little joke played by George·Alstar, the deputy foreign minister, after seeing Lacus who was shy after the last brief exchange with Luther, as uncle George.
"It seems that Lacus you are getting along well with Mr. Luther.
If it were earlier, you, my little girl, and Miss Cagalli could all be connected by Mr. Luther, which would be a way to restore peace."
Although considering the friendship between them, George·Alstar, the deputy foreign minister's joke, still chose the words slightly;
However, for Lacus, it is not difficult to understand that Uncle George is obviously referring to the United States under the monarchy.
'How did you answer Uncle George?'
Obviously it just happened just now, but Lacus couldn't recall it at the moment.
"Master Lacus, Master Lacus!"
Captain Silver Wind's repeated calls finally pulled Lacus out of the fruitless memories;
Seeing the anxious look on the captain's face, Lacus quickly apologized softly.
"Sorry, Mr. Captain, I was distracted."
"Please don't worry, Master Lacus.
You have worked hard these past two days. Please have a good rest when you return to the Plant.
I'm disturbing you here because I received a communication signed Cagalli, do you think?"
Captain Silver Wind, while excusing Lacus, reported his reasons;
Compared to Captain Silver Wind, who was simply cautious, Lacus was naturally able to understand the importance of this communication.
"Please help me take it."
"Yes!"
Since both Cagalli and Lacus are currently within the communication system of Gwameir, they naturally only need a simple transfer to connect.
"Cagalli, what's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, Lacus, I didn't come to see you off. It was Luther who suggested that I say goodbye to you and that person."
Facing Lacus's gentle inquiry, Cagalli first apologized and then directly told the 'truth';
Fortunately, although it was only a brief contact, Lacus already understood Cagalli's character quite well;
Therefore, Lacus not only did not feel unhappy about this, but instead reminded and confirmed it first.
"That's right, then did you say goodbye to Mr. George·Alstar properly?"
Facing Lacus's inquiry, Cagalli, who was wearing the standard uniform of 'Celestial Being' but had not yet put on a helmet, scratched his head in embarrassment.
"That should be considered right?
Anyway, I said a few polite words first;
Then when I didn't know what to say, I asked him to take care of Flay;
After agreeing, he took the initiative to say a few words, mentioned my father and said goodbye to me..."
Looking at Cagalli who has not yet calculated how much he was sold for, Lacus probably knows the mentality of "Uncle George".
"Well, that's a good farewell.
I also ask you to take good care of Ms. Flay."
"Oh, leave it to me."
Although he didn't understand why Lacus asked him to take care of Flay, Cagalli still agreed;
Then he lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then apologized to Lacus again.
"Sorry, Lacus, I was impulsive and naive.
You have all reached an agreement, but I still don't understand what can be done to end the war.
In the end, I am just hiding here to escape, and even the driving of mobile weapons is just the skill of a three-legged cat..."
Regarding Cagalli's reflection, Lacus sighed lightly, and then expressed Lacus's own views quite seriously.
"Cagalli, don't worry, it's the most meaningful thing if you can start thinking like this.
And in fact, the very fact that you and Ms. Flay are staying on Gwameir are already contributing to the end of the war.
Unfortunately, there is still work that I have to complete on the Plant side;
Otherwise, maybe I will stay on Gwameir, this matter is of such great significance."
Facing Lacus's half-relieved, half-serious words, Cagalli fell into thinking again.
"Is that so..."
Lacus was about to say something more, but the captain next to him Silver Wind interrupted apologetically.
"Miss Lacus, there is a high-priority intra-ship broadcast from Gwameir."
After hearing the message from Cagalli's communication that the female officer of the Imperial Guard was announcing that "Your Excellency Luther·Deikun is about to give a speech," Lacus had nothing to hesitate.
"Please come in."
Together with Cagalli who did not cut off communication, the crew members of Lacus and Silver Wind listened to the internal speech of Luther.
During the communication and the shouts of 'Deikun·Long live!' that came from everywhere, Cagalli, who came back to his senses, expressed his surprise in a half-awake and half-drowsy manner.
"Luther They... are you really okay with just saying it in front of us?"
Facing Cagalli, who was partially informed but still surprised, and the crew members of Silver Wind, who could be said to be completely unaware and therefore even more surprised, Lacus responded calmly.
"Sooner or later, the fact will be discovered. The more you hide it, the greater the trouble, right?
And as Luther said, the key is conceptual agreement.
The relationship between the earth and the universe, Natural and Coordinator, has deteriorated to an almost impossible level;
Let alone earthlings from other worlds, even if aliens come holding high the banner of peace, we have nothing more to lose.
Now Coordinator and 'Celestial Being' are both in the minority, let's see how everyone at the Earth Alliance will respond."
Since it is mainly to explain to the crew members of Silver Wind, Lacus's statement is biased towards Plant's 'artistic processing';
While the crew members of Cagalli and Silver Wind were still thinking about Lacus, new news came again.
"Silver Wind, please prepare to send it."
"Silver Wind understand."
The brief communication between Captain Silver Wind and the bridge of Gwameir was also a farewell reminder for Lacus and Cagalli.
"Then, Cagalli, please take care of yourself.
Remember, your stay on Gwameir itself has great significance."
"I understand, Lacus, please take care of yourself."
As the two said goodbye, the unilateral notice issued by Luther also sounded on both sides at the same time through the communication system;
After Luther waved goodbye to Cagalli in his words, soon, the official notification of Silver Wind's arrival also came from the Gwameir bridge.
"Lacus-sama?"
"Please follow the instructions, Mr. Captain."
Under the command of Captain Silver Wind, the newly repaired Silver Wind slowly started and left Gwameir, which had stayed for less than two days.
