After all, it was a bit embarrassing, so Kira felt that his condition was much better. After being examined by the ship's doctor again, he left the infirmary with the ship's doctor's expression of disbelief and relief.
At Miriallia's suggestion, the two decided to go to the canteen to rest for a while and take the opportunity to have lunch, especially since Kira, who had just woken up, was indeed very hungry:
In any case, even if it is 'Ultimate Coordinator', the resilience is not sourceless water, and it still has to abide by the law of conservation of energy.
Both are functional buildings, and the infirmary and canteen are not far apart, so Kira quickly arrived at the canteen with the insistence of Miriallia.
And because it was still in the first level of combat readiness, there was no one in the cafeteria.
So after helping Kira to sit down in the seats that several people were accustomed to, Miriallia went into the "kitchen" and started preparing lunch by himself - although he just made some drinks and took out a few set meals from the freezer to heat them.
While waiting for heating, Miriallia casually confirmed with Kira.
"But now that ZAFT's attack has been repelled, we should be able to successfully rendezvous with the advance fleet, right?
Then, when we return to the base of the Earth Alliance with the advance fleet, we can finally leave the army and return to Orb safely this time, right?"
"According to what you just said Miriallia, even if you return Orb, you might be involved in the war again."
In response to Miriallia's uneasy inquiry, Kira first told a 'joke'.
"Hmph, Kira, you are really hateful, I won't feed you anymore."
After Miriallia's cooperative 'performance' of stomping their feet, the two looked at each other and smiled;
With a 'ding' sound, Miriallia took out the hot set meal and put it on the dinner plate, then brought it to the dining table and sat down.
"Here, Kira, I'll heat up three portions for you first. If it's not enough, I'll heat it up again."
"Thank you, Miriallia, I'm starting."
After Miriallia also echoed "I'm starting", Kira, who was really hungry, wolfed down the first set meal;
Then after having the first set meal at the bottom, Kira began to slow down to eat the second set meal, while seriously replying to the questions Miriallia had just asked.
"About the question just now.
Although we did repulse the attack of the ZAFT mobile suit team, considering that the advance fleet did not appear or contact us, ZAFT must have just divided some of its troops to attack Archangel, right?
And even if the advance fleet is reunited, since ZAFT can attack the advance fleet once, it won't be surprising if we are attacked again after our whereabouts have been exposed.
If you think like this, it may be difficult to avoid entering the battle again."
Listening to Kira's "calm" analysis, Miriallia's face was full of worry.
"Kira, you will have to fly Strike Gundam to attack again, right?
Does it really not matter, Kira?!
Moreover, Strike Gundam's Aile Pack and Sword Striker have been lost."
Faced with Miriallia's concern, Kira responded with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Miriallia, but it's okay now.
In fact, as a soldier, the female captain ZAFT must be as reasonable as Miss Murrue, right?
Even so, she could not accept our naive appeal, which shows that the road of surrendering to ZAFT so as to return to Orb as soon as possible is indeed unworkable;
Then we can only hope that Captain Murrue and the Lord Halberton she mentioned can really act as insiders and keep their promises after ensuring the safety of Archangel and Strike Gundam.
This is also the only hope for everyone to withdraw from the army as soon as possible and return to Orb to reunite with their families.
I also have many things, and I want to go back to Orb to confirm with my parents as soon as possible. Although my hands are already stained with blood, I don't know if I can still get their approval, even so...!"
Regarding Kira's judgment about Shiho Hahnenfuss, Miriallia also nodded repeatedly;
Considering the 'sacrifice' of Kuzzey and the response of Badgiruel, regarding the return of Orb, we can only place our hope on Captain Murrue and the so-called Lord Halberton;
As for what Kira said, what he wanted to confirm with his (adoptive) parents is probably related to the 'Prince of Orb';
However, when Miriallia heard Kira's final guilty remorse, he naturally hurriedly expressed his comfort.
"What you're worried about won't happen, Kira.
After all, Kira, you went to the battlefield solely to protect us.
This is completely self-defense, yes, there is no doubt that it is self-defense!"
"If you insist on saying it, it's an emergency evacuation, right?!
But no matter what, just like what she said, I, we are already participants in this war..."
After forcing a smile to respond to Miriallia's relief, Kira spoke in a low voice. Noticing Miriallia's anxious look, Kira also quickly changed the topic after taking a bite of the black pepper steak as a staple food.
"As for Strike Gundam, isn't there Launcher Striker, who has the strongest firepower?
Moreover, there are actually some scattered parts and spare parts on Archangel. Let's think of a way with Sergeant Major Murdoch, and maybe we can get another set together.
I can't sit still when I think of this, I have to finish eating quickly and go to the gnar cabin to help."
"Kira!"
Looking at Kira who was eating faster, Miriallia called Kira's name with concern, but could not say anything;
It wasn't until Kira finished his second set meal and started eating his third, and Miriallia almost finished his own, that he finally thought of what to say.
"We will work hard too, Kira. Leave support and communications to us."
Kira did not respond immediately, but covered his head and finished the third portion;
After signaling to Miriallia that he was full, he watched Miriallia start to put away the tableware;
Before leaving the cafeteria and heading to the cabin, Kira stood up and said goodbye to Miriallia's previous topic.
"Thank you, Miriallia. And Sai, Tolle and Kuzzey.
It is precisely because of you that I can fight with peace of mind, and you also helped a lot in the battle just now.
Also, I want to apologize to you. Without me, you might not have been involved in this series of incidents."
"Without you, we might have died in Heliopolis!"
Miriallia responded pretending to be angry, and just as he was about to say something else, the restaurant's intercom phone rang;
Seeing Miriallia rinsing the tableware, Kira answered the phone at the door of the restaurant.
"I am Kira·Yamato."
"Great, I finally found you, young man.
I called the infirmary just now, but they said you had already left..."
Kira responded consciously to Uncle Li Mu's "lucky" voice.
"We're about to attack, right? I'll be at the Gnar cabin right away."
"Ah, not this time. Anyway, come to the bridge first;
If Miss Miriallia is with you, please come back with her."
Mu's response made Kira and Miriallia look at each other, and then Kira also responded as Miriallia nodded.
"I understand, I'll come to the bridge with Miriallia right away."
