PLANT Capital, April City.

The atmosphere emitted by the headquarters of the National Defense Commission, which was even more noisy than before, made Aslan frown slightly.

This is completely contrary to the atmosphere that became slightly relaxed a few days ago because of the great battle situation.

“What the hell happened?”

During these days, Aslan has almost stayed in the hospital, accompanying him as "Lucks Klein".

For a Zaft pilot, this is obviously an extraordinary behavior.

But the reason why Aslan was able to do this was because of his father and also the instructor of the chairman of National Defense Patrick Sarah.

Now, the situation of "Lucks" has improved, and Aslan has time to withdraw and come to the headquarters of the National Defense Commission to see the current situation, but the result is this.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I saw you! Aslan, how are you doing recently?"

Just as Aslan was puzzled by what he saw, a familiar, magnetic voice came from behind.

"Captain Kruze."

Turning around, Aslan found that Kruze, who had not seen for many days, was standing behind him at some point.

"Well, in good spirits. It seems that your cute fiancée has improved, isn't it?"

There was a smile of satisfaction under Kruze's mask.

After raising his hand and patting Aslan on the shoulder, he raised his foot and walked towards the Chairman of the National Defense Commission's office first.

"Aslan. Do you know what happened these days?"

Although the sounds around were a little noisy, Kruze still heard Aslan keep up with him.

"No. I don't know."

Aslan showed a hint of ashamed when asked.

"Aslan. Don't care about these things. For men, family is equally important. And, it's not your turn to play."

At this moment, Kruze seemed to be transforming into a life mentor, enlightening Aslan.

Aslan, who was following Kruze, looked at Kruze's back and replied softly.

"Yes! I get it! Captain Kruze."

"Well. That's good. Speaking of which, the Chairman has been worried about your affairs with Miss Lux in recent days. Now it seems that the Chairman should be able to breathe a sigh of relief."

After the two of them stepped onto the escalator one after another, a sentence from Kruze, which seemed to be unintentional, made Aslan's nerves tense up.

"Captain Kruze. You mean?"

"Well. The man known as the "Desert Tiger", Andy Balterfield was confirmed to be killed a few days ago. Our Zaft base at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean has fallen."

"Well, that Victoria Airport..."

"Yes. What the Chairman is worried about now is that the death of that man has caused the Victoria Airport we just captured to be recaptured by the Earth United."

The two of them exchanged ideas about the current situation from time to time, but in fact, most of the time, Kruze was talking and Aslan was listening.

This exchange did not stop until the two arrived at the office of the Chairman of the National Defense.

"Get in! Aslan. I believe the Chairman has been waiting for a while. My affairs are not too urgent!"

What surprised Aslan was that Kruze should have taken the lead, but instead let himself enter the office first.

"Aslan, you are here. Sit for a while!"

When he entered the office, the first thing Aslan saw was Patrick Sarah listening with a phone.

The latter signaled Aslan to sit down and wait for a while, then quickly reminded the person on the other end of the microphone before putting down the microphone, closing his eyes and thinking silently about some things.

Fortunately, Patrick didn't let Aslan wait too long.

In less than five minutes, when Patrick, who had closed his eyes and thoughts, opened his eyes again, his expression on his face was already slightly calmer.

"How is Aslan Lax?"

Aslan immediately stood up and saluted Patrick:

"Yes. Lux's condition has improved. The doctor also said he would be discharged from the hospital in the past two days."

"Well. Not bad. Aslan, it's just a party for Sara's house now. There's no need to be so serious."

Patrick's words made Aslan slightly stunned, but he nodded silently.

"Yes! Father."

Patrick waved and signaled Aslan to sit down again, then he also left his desk and sat on the sofa opposite Aslan, looking at him face to face.

Patrick's scrutiny gaze made Aslan subconsciously avoid it and dared not look directly at Patrick.

"Aslan. How long has it been since that incident happened?"

That was a scar.

A staircase in front of Sarah and his son was unavoidable, and it also affected the scars that have been affected to this day.

"It's been a year. My father and my mother have been away from us for a year."

Whenever he mentioned his mother who died tragically under the attack of the Earth's union, Aslan's emotions would fall to freezing point.

"Yes! It's been a year. I've been back home several times recently and I feel that my home is much deserted. Aslan, it's time for you to think about this home."

“Eh?”

Immersed in the sadness brought by his mother's death, Aslan failed to react for a while.

"It's really too slow! Aslan. You lucky brat!"

In Patrick's eyes, Aslan never satisfies him.

On the contrary, my close friend who has always held the opposite idea of ​​him has a daughter who can look back in time and see the world clearly.

"slow?"

Aslan is really confused.

Even though the anger in Patrick's eyes became more and more intense, Aslan couldn't even think of what his father was referring to.

"Hmph! Forget it. Go back first! Let Kruze come in."

Aslan, who was confused, was finally driven out by Patrick, who was disappointed.

But after all, it was a father-son fight. The moment Aslan stepped out of the office, Patrick's words floated over from afar.

"Sigel called just now, hoping that Lux would stay at our house for a while. You, go back and prepare!"

Aslan was stunned on the spot, but he didn't have the courage to turn around and go back to the office to ask his father clearly.

"Congratulations! Aslan!"

Kruze, who was standing next to the door, naturally heard these words. After sending blessings to Aslan, he walked into Patrick's office, leaving Aslan standing alone at the door.

"Lucky guy! Enjoy this time!"

Looking back at the earth.

On that hot desert, the group was saying a temporary farewell.

"Kay, can't I really let me continue to study for a while?"

After receiving the commission, Luo, a member of the recycling house, was notified by Luo, who went to Aubu to collect the new mothership, looked at the white Baku in front of him reluctantly.

During this period, Luo Zhen met a tough guy.

No matter how hard he racked his brains and even more, Xiao 8 used up all his computing power, he still couldn't find out the reason why the White Baku started again.

Reality made Luo both discouraged and helpless.

"If we delay like this, we may miss the time to Scandinavia."

The "death" of the Desert Tiger is undoubtedly a thunder that triggers this area and even affects Victoria Airport thousands of miles away. Both sides who have not yet reacted will react quickly over time, and then

, this area may be once again caught in the battle between the two sides.

Lei Mingkai declined Rona's still unwilling thoughts, while looking at Seb, who was guarding the children to say goodbye to Lax.

As soon as the two of them had contacted their eyes, Lei Mingkai knew that Seb was already prepared for a possible future.

Seb didn't say anything, but just nodded silently, even saying goodbye to Lei Mingkai.

"Hey! Kai. Once again, last time! Is it OK?"

Seeing that Lei Mingkai had made up his mind, Luo could only beg him for another last chance.

"Ro. I agreed in advance! This is the last time. If you delay any further, driving this Baku across this desert will not be as easy as it is now."

"Okay! I'll be fine right away!"

As soon as he obtained Lei Mingkai's permission, Luo immediately jumped along the ladder and jumped into the cockpit of white Baku, and began another round of testing in a familiar way - although this testing was destined to be fruitless.

"This kid is really unwilling to give up!"

The white cat Zero-style thoughts also followed Luo to the cockpit of white Baku, and it rang in Lei Mingkai's mind.
