"you···"
"you···"
The two of them, who had been reunited after a long separation, were stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled bitterly.
"You talk first!"
Kira glanced at the woman and the old man who went to the underground shelter with the help of Asuka, and took the initiative to give the other party a step.
"Okay! I'm Alex Pat. That's my wife Mia Pat, and my father Lex Pat. Currently, he works as a tower crane operator in the port of the city."
Alex looked at his friend who had been reunited for a long time, and his heart flashed with bitterness that he was reluctant to deceive his friend, but he had no choice but to hide for the sake of his wife and father's safety.
"Kira Yamato, as you can see, is the director of this institute. We are willing to provide you with security without confidentiality involved. So, don't worry! You are already safe."
Kira nodded, signaling that she had understood, and expressed her next arrangement.
But how could Alex not know what the institute represents as a member of Zaft's spy force?
"Is it really okay? If you are embarrassed, we can leave immediately."
Alex took the initiative to express his opinion.
Kira shook her head.
"This is not my decision alone. It is an order issued by the director himself. Don't worry! Your existence will not implicate anyone. So, wait until the crisis is lifted!"
After Kira finished speaking, she opened her mouth and finally failed to say words about caring for her close friends.
As Mary said, as long as the Alexes do not take the initiative to express their identity, they will only regard the Alexes as civilians and provide protection as much as possible without involving confidentiality.
"I understand! But that boy should not be held accountable, right?"
"No. What a good kid. He will be very enthusiastic about helping all the neighbors who have troubles."
Kira hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and patted Alex on the shoulder.
The two looked at each other, as if everything was silent.
"Wait! I almost forgot about Director Kira."
Alex's eyes changed, and he quickly and briefly told what he had seen in the port unloading area, and expressed his own speculation.
Listening to Alex's story silently, Kira's expression became more and more serious.
"This is not good news. But it should be able to stop it in time. Alex, thank you for your information! Stay here before the crisis is lifted. I must report the situation immediately."
"good!"
The two looked at each other again, but immediately turned around and left.
"Huh? Where is the director?"
As soon as Zhen Asuki, who had settled Mia and the old man, walked out, he saw Alex standing alone in the aisle, silently watching the elevator close.
"Well, Director Kira has left. You should be called Shinki, right? Thank you for your help just now."
Alex nodded and looked back at the boy who was still immature on his face, but when facing the attacker, he was able to calmly arrange everything, wait for the opportunity, suppress the attacker in one fell swoop, and rescue their family.
"No! That's what I should do. Those people are really hateful!! We just came out of the last war and spent several years of peace peacefully, but we couldn't help but jump out and ruin it again!!"
Asuka looked extremely angry when he remembered the attackers on the street.
"Did they think of setting up war again! Let us live those suffering days again?"
Faced with the boy's resentment, Alex closed his eyes and shook his head silently.
Although he had exchanged and speculated with his father about the current situation before.
However, that was based on their perceptions several years ago.
Today, under the leadership of the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, there have been too many changes, which have made the undercurrents hidden in the shadows even more complicated.
Did this attack break out because of their family’s identity?
Or is it because the attackers want to seek greater benefits?
Or maybe, both are there, and the gangster who wants to seek greater benefits can bring the whole world into disputes again and realize a more terrifying attempt?
In order to completely hide the identity, the Sarah family has been away from PLANT for too long. The Sarah family, who has been in PLANT for so long, has almost been swept out of PLANT, and even Zaft's power center, becoming an inconspicuous marginal character.
Under such circumstances, Alex could only face the sudden attack with dark eyes.
When Asuka saw Alex in silence, he just thought it was his complaint that made the man in front of him embarrassed.
"Sorry! It's just my temporary complaint that bothered you! I still have something to deal with. Mr. Alex, please stay here to take refuge! Don't worry! There are all things to drink here!"
After apologizing, Asuka quickly left.
Because Alex and the others were placed next to Asakusa's family, Asakusa also had a brief chat with his family and learned from it that the Sashasali and Stella were ready to attack.
"Take care! Real bird."
"Thanks!"
The stormy back of the storm reminded Alex that he was when he joined Zaft Military Academy.
Was this the same thing when I was at that time?
"Alex. It seems that the situation here is not simple, right?"
When he returned to his wife and father, his father, whose pseudonym Lex stared at Alex with a torch.
"Well. Yes. But please rest assured. We are safe here."
Alex nodded and reached out to cover his father's thin hands.
"Oh. I understand. Alex."
The father sighed, he looked around and said in a low voice.
"They already know? Right?"
Alex's eyes changed and he nodded silently.
The father raised his hand and patted Alex on the shoulder.
"Alex. Sometimes, the name can also be a bargaining chip."
"But, father..."
"Don't worry! We can actually be arranged here. Even if, in a short time, people here will not want to do anything to us."
After his father took a look at Mia who was putting the supplies he received, he placed his hands heavily on Alex's shoulder.
"Anyway, you should protect Mia more than me! Do you understand? If necessary, don't be afraid or hesitate. My old bone still has some effect after all."
"Father, I..."
Before Alex could defend himself, his father's heavy drops came from his shoulders, indicating that Alex didn't need to say anything more, and that's what he decided.
