February 6, CE71, around 14:00 standard time
In order to find Archangel who in Luther's memory was originally heading to the wreckage of Junius Seven, Gwameir as a whole also headed towards the wreckage of Junius Seven;
Just to avoid passing by each other on the road, Gwameir, who had plenty of fuel and spread Minovsky Particle appropriately without worrying about being easily discovered, took a zigzag route.
Therefore, when Haman wanted to conduct a 'real aircraft exercise' with Cagalli in order to fulfill its promise, considering that it would not affect the voyage, Luther certainly agreed:
This has nothing to do with the fact that he agreed to Flay's request the day before yesterday and helped her choose a meeting gift for Flay's father, George·Alstar, but was discovered by Haman and everyone took the stolen goods on the spot.
In short, at a distance where the largest gravel of Cosmic Era can be clearly seen in the distance, the two people who have completed the preparations are going through the attack procedure.
"Cagalli·Yula·Athha, Bigro Custom, advance!"
"Haman·Kahn, Newtype special Bigro Custom, leave the ship!"
In the command area of the Gwameir bridge, Tessa opened two screens, one on the left and one on the right, contacting Haman and Cagalli respectively;
The large screen in the middle clearly captures the shadows of the two machines through the Gwameir observation equipment.
At this time, Cagalli's temporarily borrowed standard green paint Bigro Custom is in front, Haman's own white and pink Newtype's special Bigro Custom was behind, and after he came out directly in front of Gwameir, they confronted each other on the left and right, waiting for Luther, who was still standing next to Tessa habitually, to announce the start of the exercise.
However, before the actual exercise officially begins, Cagalli seems to have something to say.
"I'm very happy that you can fulfill your promise to convince Luther.
But does it really matter? I will just use live ammunition here."
For Cagalli's concern, Haman is indifferent.
"This Newtype is dedicated to Bigro Custom. I am also troubled by being underestimated.
Depending on your driving skills, if you just want to hit the target, I'll have to practice for another ten years.
Not convinced? Then let me see, as the sister of Ultimate Coordinator, how good are you compared to your weak brother!"
Haman's kind concern was rewarded with ridicule, and Cagalli's outspoken temper naturally failed.
"Then just wait and see! Also, it's the elder sister, not the younger sister!"
Looking at Cagalli who had cut off communication, Haman changed his face and faced Luther.
"Luther brother, do you want to release the water?"
"With Cagalli's character, he will definitely go to the front line personally in the future.
In order to prevent her from taking it seriously, I'd better teach her a lesson."
Haman was obviously very satisfied with Luther's answer. He nodded and temporarily cut off the communication;
After Luther nodded to Tessa, Tessa issued the specific start instruction.
"Send permission to start the exercise to Haman machine and Cagalli machine."
For Cagalli in Bigro Custom, after receiving permission to start the exercise, he is preparing to use quadruple missiles to teach Haman a non-fatal lesson;
As a result, Cagalli was still locking the quadruple missiles, and Haman, who was already proficient in fully opening the thrusters and maneuvering his body, disappeared from Cagalli's field of vision.
"Where? Where have you been?!"
Just when Cagalli relied on the prompts from the onboard equipment and awkwardly began to adjust the fuselage in an attempt to re-lock Haman;
In the cockpit of Cagalli's Bigro Custom, the locked warning sounded wildly, and locked alarms came from 18 directions everywhere;
At this point, Cagalli naturally did not bother to search and lock Haman, but tried to get rid of the lock;
It's just that whether it's the triple 120mm cannon mounted on the back and belly firing wildly, or whether it's driving Bigro Custom around at full speed against the limits of its body, the 18 locks still sound piercing alarms one after another, making Cagalli upset and irritated;
Under such adversity, Cagalli's bullish temper also came up, and he was ready to accelerate further regardless of his physical condition!
"As expected of Wild Boar Princess, the thing around your neck seems to be just a decoration."
As the Bigro Custom airborne system of Cagalli emitted 18 hit warnings almost simultaneously, it automatically shut down under the control of the exercise system, and a bright red 'you lose' was also displayed on the main screen;
Then the communications from Haman and Gwameir were connected one after another, and the first one to come was the above-mentioned taunt from Haman.
Cagalli was about to get angry and retort, but then the conversation between Luther and Haman came from the communication, which made her temporarily hold back her anger.
"Haman, how does the new Funnel for practice feel? Is it much different from the real machine?"
"It's very good, brother Luther.
When I use it, it feels basically exactly the same as the actual Funnel.
The only difference is that after being activated, I didn't see Wild Boar Princess, which was just running around, turn into a grand firework.
Ah, I'm sorry, Wild Boar Princess is driving our Bigro Custom, it's such a waste of resources."
Facing Haman's constant provocation, Cagalli couldn't bear it any longer, but just when she was about to retort loudly, she seemed to vaguely hear singing.
"The moonlight is swaying, Silent Deep Night, I raise my head to look at the moon, and lower my head to think of you;
Your smile seems to have been forgotten, and the sparse stars and bright moon are at the top of my heart again..."
For some reason, Cagalli, who was concentrating on listening to the singing, immediately calmed down; when he looked at the communication, he found that both Luther and Haman had serious expressions on their faces.
"Haman, did you hear it too?"
"Of course, brother Luther, you see, even our Wild Boar Princess heard it."
Facing Haman's reply to Luther, Cagalli did not forget to ridicule himself, but Cagalli was unusually not angry. Even the uneasiness in his heart was calmed by the previous singing, leaving only curiosity;
And soon, Luther's response in the communication partially satisfied Cagalli's curiosity.
"This song <Silent Deep Night> (quiet night), is it Lacus·Klein?
It turns out she is also Newtype.
Tessa, is it located?"
Tessa, who is in the same communication as Luther, is meditating with his eyes closed;
However, although his hands did not move at all, he was still operating quickly on Tessa's own terminal, which was projected into the communication, and quickly located the source of the singing:
Silver Wind is running away at full speed, and the pursuers are getting closer and closer, consisting of one Ginn, two Moebius and a modified Marseille III Transport.
"Hey, who did this come from?"
"Isn't this what you expected, the change in the world line? My Luther master."
Faced with Luther's apparently unexpected complaint, A-Qiu's response came from outside the communication screen;
When A-Qiu said that, Luther seemed very helpless.
"So even if the general trend is good, there will be negative fluctuations in the details, right?
In short, Haman, Cagalli, please come back first, the actual combat exercise can only end here!
Tessa, let Cima seize the time and prepare to attack.
Just in case, get my 'Time Observer' ready too."
