--Earlier, Archangel Clinic--
Amidst the steady beep of the monitoring equipment, Kira gradually regained consciousness and felt the pain all over his body.
"It hurts..."
"Kira, you're awake?! Great!
Doctor, come and see, Kira is awake!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Kira struggled to open his eyes:
In front of me is the familiar friend Miriallia with tears on his face;
And amidst the shouts of Miriallia, the ship's doctor in a white coat also came over.
"Miriallia?"
"Kira, well, it's me, it's Miriallia.
Doctor, please take a look at Kira's condition."
Amid Miriallia's urging, the doctor first confirmed the data of the monitoring instrument, then listened to Kira's heartbeat with a cold stethoscope, then pressed Kira's chest, abdomen and several joints, and finally looked at Miriallia in silence.
"Doctor, Kira What happened to him?"
Facing the anxious Miriallia, the ship's doctor suddenly laughed.
"How should I put it, it is indeed the 'Ultimate Coordinator' certified by 'Celestial Being'.
It was obvious that I had suffered such a severe impact, and that the high temperature in the cockpit had caused me to become comatose and have a high fever. I even had no suitable equipment for treatment at all;
The result was just a simple infusion and oxygen inhalation, and now he has almost completely recovered;
As long as you take a short rest, you will be able to jump around again, and it will be no problem to fly Strike Gundam.
Haha, hahahaha."
Seeing that Miriallia looked uneasy after being teased, the ship's doctor smiled dryly and walked away;
Miriallia also stamped his feet helplessly and angrily, then turned around and looked at Kira again.
"Kira, how do you feel? Do you want to drink water? Or are you hungry?"
Feeling Miriallia's concern, Kira showed a slightly weak smile.
"Thank you, Miriallia. But just like the doctor said, I'm fine."
Kira said this, stopped Miriallia from helping, and sat up on the hospital bed.
Seeing that Kira looked a little bit in pain, he could indeed sit up on his own, and Miriallia felt a lot more relieved.
"Great.
This time you are in a worse situation than last time. No matter how you call, there is no response.
And it is said that when Sergeant Major Murdoch carried him out of the cockpit of Strike Gundam, he was not only extremely hot, but also his body went limp.
On my side... I'm really worried on my side..."
Seeing that Miriallia was about to cry while talking, Kira quickly comforted her and changed the topic.
"Isn't it okay now, Miriallia.
Just like the doctor said, I am a certified 'Ultimate Coordinator' from 'Celestial Being'.
Speaking of which, what's the situation... how is Archangel's situation?
Miriallia Is it okay if you're not on the bridge?"
Facing Kira's inquiry, Miriallia looked at Kira angrily.
"Because I only focused on calling you Kira and neglected the task of contacting Major La Flaga, so I was asked by Lieutenant Badgiruel to reflect."
After saying this, Miriallia couldn't help but laugh when he saw Kira's serious expression.
"I lied to you... ah, I can't say I lied to you.
In short, after Kira you were unconscious, Major La Flaga attacked again and drove away the only remaining enemy plane.
Now Archangel has set sail again and is approaching the advance fleet of 8th Fleet;
The liaison work of Major La Flaga, who is still performing the direct cover mission, has been temporarily handed over to Kuzzey;
With the permission of Captain Murrue, I am here to take care of our savior, Mr. Kira·Yamato, the prince of Orb."
Kira smiled sheepishly at his friend's teasing.
"Even you said that about me, Miriallia, I just..."
"Well, I know, we all know, you are Kira·Yamato, our friend, nothing more.
Thank you for stepping in to protect us, Kira.
When the bridge was almost hit, we... I was really scared."
Faced with Miriallia's comfort and sincere gratitude, Kira felt significantly better;
But soon, Kira recalled the righteous female voice, the uncle who fought desperately, and the angry curses and heart-wrenching last words about the 'betrayer';
Therefore, Kira was not suffering from physical pain, but he lowered his head in pain, holding back the discomfort and crying while 'asking'.
"Why do we have to go to that point?! We just want to go back to Orb, we just want to go back to a peaceful life..."
"This is because both sides have the most righteous thoughts in their hearts;
And those of us who are involved, even if it is just to survive, we have to take up arms to resist;
Otherwise, you will just be at the mercy of others, or you will encounter Heliopolis's situation again, right?"
Unexpectedly, Kira heard a response from Miriallia that was obviously a reflection of deep thought;
Under the gaze of Kira, Miriallia laughed sheepishly and explained the origin of this phrase half-defensively and half-explanatoryly.
"Sorry, Kira, we all heard the conversation between you and the female captain ZAFT.
Then after you failed to communicate with her, this is what Captain Murrue said at the time."
Kira listened quietly to Miriallia's retelling of Murrue's words, and then Miriallia added to it.
"In short, I don't think Captain Murrue can be blamed for this matter. The key is because of the war, right?
Both sides have reasons and beliefs that they have to continue fighting, and they are using all possible means to this end.
If you think about it this way, as long as the war continues, Orb would have been involved in the war sooner or later even if nothing happened on Heliopolis. On the contrary, we who think that we can avoid the war as long as we remain neutral may be too naive.
Master Uzumi must have tried their best, but after all, Orb is just a small country, so everything has its limit, right?"
Seeing that the gentle Miriallia was still thinking about all parties even in the face of such an unreasonable situation, Kira couldn't help but say something.
"If everyone could be as gentle as Miriallia and be willing to consider others, there would be no war, right?"
"That's not certain. After all, for big shots, as long as the war is profitable, they don't care about our life or death."
Kira and Miriallia were both startled, and then they realized that the ship's doctor who had been listening couldn't help but interrupt.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I scared you. But I just couldn't help it.
Perhaps, as 'Celestial Being' in 'Celestial Being Formation Declaration' said, some Logos manipulated 'Blue Cosmos' and deliberately provoked this war.
Ah, Kira, I also want to apologize to you. For you personally, 'Ultimate Coordinator' or even the identity of Coordinator itself brings pain, right?
I'm really sorry just now, it's obvious that you fought to the death to save my life."
Facing the ship's doctor who bowed his head deeply, the kind-hearted Kira responded quickly.
"It's okay, Mr. Ship Doctor, I'm grateful to you for taking care of me, and I'm used to it."
"Have you gotten used to it... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry anyway!"
Kira's casual words elicited a deeper apology from the ship's doctor, and the situation was finally cleared up.
