"Say, I'm not even an MS pilot. Was there really any need to drag me up here too?"
Inside the Strike Gundam's cockpit, Noer stood half-bent behind Kira, asking the soldiers guarding the cockpit.
As for Lusia, after answering his question, she had left because of Flaga and the others.
"Click."
The two soldiers did not answer. They merely tightened their grips on their weapons.

Noer curled his lip disdainfully and turned his head away, unwilling to look at this irritating situation.
"Noer, sorry..."

Noer laughed awkwardly. His little thoughts had been exposed.
"So, Noer, do you really like Gundams?" Kira continued.
"I..."
Noer had been about to say
