book of contract

The Archangel is looking for the nearest Federation, hoping for a chance.

<<<<<<<<<

Feiyin and Kira had just walked to the door of the lounge, and before the door opened, they heard a conversation coming from inside.

"Is this really the Earth Army, Sai, when can we disembark? If it continues to fight, wouldn't it be more dangerous for us here!?" This was the voice of a strange girl that Feiyin had never heard before. But Kira is very familiar, it is Fleur.

"Don't worry, Kira won't let this happen." The voice was the child named Kazui.

"Eh!? Why, how could that child named Kira protect such a large ship?"

"Fleur, your lifeboat was brought up by a mobile suit before, and the manipulator was Kira." Sai replied to Fleur.

"How is this possible? Is that child controlling that huge body! How is it possible? Who is that person named Kira?"

"Because Kira is a new human."

"Kazui!" I'm afraid Saiyi didn't expect Kazuyi to say it so lightly.

Feiyin couldn't see what was going on inside, but she could guess what mentality the child named Kazui used to say it.He never seemed to know what the less people know, the better, and he never knew what consequences Kira would have if the name New Human was spoken among natural people.Maybe he knew it, but he never cared.

"How is it possible, as a new human being, standing in the Earth Army, this is simply impossible. Will he really protect us!" The unbelievable female voice sounded immediately, and at the same time, Kira's heart was shaken for a moment .

Fei Yin noticed the pale complexion of the people around her, and slowly lowered their raised hands.

As if aware of her gaze, Kira forced a smile and said, "Um... Feiyin, let's not go to the lounge yet."

"En." Fei Yin nodded.

Because it would be embarrassing to meet, Kira and Feiyin had already left before the door was opened, and at the same time Dole and Miria just came back from another aisle, and what they saw was Feiyin and Kira leaving back view.

<<<<<<<<<

Feiyin looked at Kira who was always walking some distance away from her, and she sighed silently. "Kira, are we going to place the Strike Gundam now?"

Kira, who had been walking with her head buried, suddenly stopped, and turned to her and said, "Well, because they said it was my body, I have to take care of it myself, so as not to cause problems in future battles."

"Your body? You are not a soldier, what is your body!?"

"Ah, Fei Yin had the same reaction as me at that time. When he told me, I also had the same reaction." Kira smiled wryly, his body, this statement is like tying him to Strike Gundam. .

"Is that the man named Mu?" Feiyin looked at the young man in front of her,

"Yes." Kira nodded.

"You said yes? Do you want to be a soldier?"

"It has nothing to do with whether I am a soldier or not. I have to fight, don't I? And the officer named Mu also said the same thing, saying that I need to use that assault to fight, so it is my body." I don't know when, they Already in front of Strike Gundam, Kira looked complicatedly at the huge Battle Gundam in front of him. Compared with it, they were really small.

And he will continue to fight with this Gundam in the near future.

After climbing up the Gundam, Kira was busy adjusting and maintaining the body for a long time, and couldn't be distracted to chat with Fei Yin who was sitting quietly by the side.

"I'm sorry, Feiyin, I asked you to accompany me to adjust the Gundam. It's boring to watch from the side."

"No, I think it's interesting."

"Eh!?" Kira was taken aback by Fei Yin's words, but her hands were still moving on the keyboard without stopping.

In the dark eyes of Feiyin who was sitting beside him, countless digital codes and command phrases were spinning rapidly.

The whole person sat there like a machine, absorbing all the knowledge of this world, and the inner system was running rapidly, but Kira hadn't noticed it.

After a long time, after digesting all the information and the system, and fully understanding the world, she felt bored instead, which was similar to what she had guessed. Feiyin looked at Kira beside her, and at his side face focused on doing one thing, This child belongs to the heterogeneous in this world. As a new human being but on the side of natural people, his future will be very tiring.

If she wanted to leave this world, could she really let go of this child and not worry about him?

"What's the matter? Feiyin, is it really too boring?" When Kira noticed it, what she saw was Feiyin staring at him in a daze, which shocked him.

"No, it's just the fatigue caused by knowing too much and absorbing too much. I really want to end it soon, such days." Feiyin felt dissatisfied with everything she saw, so she wanted to end herself Such a sober day.

But Kira thought that she, like Fleur, felt disgusted by being trapped on the Archangel and wanted to leave quickly, so his hand typing on the keyboard stopped again, "Yes, on such a day, It should be over soon. Captain Mu said that the days when the Archangel enters the Eurasian Federation should be over."

"I don't mean this..."

Kira looked at the girl hugging her knees beside her, her dark eyes seemed to hide a lot of thoughts. "Concubine always knows a lot of things, but also hides a lot of things."

"Do you think I will tell you all the secrets one day~"

"If there is such a day, I will be very happy." Kira replied with a smile, "Because everyone has their own secrets, and if Feiyin is willing to tell me the secret one day, it means that I am trustworthy, and I will It's an honour."

This gentle answer was indeed Kira's style.

However, this is not an honor, because her hands are stained with the blood of those who know her secret.The people she accepted and believed in were all killed by her in the end.

"Don't you think it's unfair that everyone knows your secret and you don't know other people's secret?"

"Not at all. Secrets don't have to be exchanged with secrets. Everyone has the right to choose not to tell. And if I tell my secret, that's my choice, and I won't regret it."

"Huh? Really?"

"Well, really."

"You're lying." Feiyin said unceremoniously, and even poked his cheek with her hand, "Your face is full of regrets. You obviously care about this secret, but you insist on pretending not to care, doesn't it hurt?" ?”

If no one said it, with Kira's character, he would keep it in his heart and pretend not to care.Don't tell anyone, let it rot in the bottom of my heart, until the pain can't be ignored.

"..." He covered his forehead in a bit of trouble, and felt a little distressed and painful when Fei Yin raised this question and had to face it squarely.

"Maybe Feiyin is right...I seem to...really regret it." He was a little shaken, regretting the fact that he exposed himself as a new human being, regretting fighting, regretting... always felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his friends. "...Feiyin, you always seem to be with me and don't communicate with other people, is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't know anyone else, I only know you here, and I don't think it's a big deal that you are a new human being."

"Thank you." Kira looked at the string of command phrases in front of him. It was because Feiyin didn't care about the difference between new humans and natural humans that he could face her so calmly.

"You're always saying thank you and sorry, and I don't feel like I've done anything that deserves your thanks."

"..." Facing Feiyin's words, Kira couldn't refute, and then he laughed, "It seems to be true, but I still want to say thank you."

Apart from thank you, he didn't know what words to use to express his gratitude.

He exhausted all his strength before leaving the lounge door, it was like fleeing in a panic, he didn't know what expression to use to face those friends, and he didn't know how to face the seemingly harmless The phrase 'Kira is a new human'.He still minds the fact that he is a new human being.

It's really embarrassing, if it wasn't for Feiyin's side, if it wasn't for looking at her, Kira couldn't imagine what it would be like to sit here alone, as if even she would lose herself.

"Kira, you're working too hard. You don't like fighting, right? You're afraid...but you use protection as an excuse to force yourself to be strong and move forward." Feiyin looked at him,

"Has anyone told you that it doesn't matter if you don't work so hard? If not, let me tell you. It doesn't matter if you don't need to work so hard. If you hate war, don't fight. It doesn't matter if you don't need to protect others."

Seeing Feiyin like this, Kira couldn't help laughing. "Feiyin is very gentle, she always seems to be able to say what I want to hear the most." In those eyes, she will be seen clearly, as if she knows everything he fears in his heart, giving him an illusion that he can be forgiven An illusion, as if she was willing to bear all his negative thoughts for him.

He really wanted to admit it, he really wanted to tell the person in front of him frankly that he didn't want to fight, but he couldn't say it in the end.

He couldn't say it either.

"Feiyin is always different from other people. She never seems to care about her own life, and never shows fear of death in war."

"Why should I be afraid?" Feiyin replied, "To me, death is like sleeping. I never entrust my life to others. I would rather die than hide behind others like a weak person, praying others to protect."

Looking at Feiyin's calm eyes, she has no doubts about the truth in her words, but what made her think like this?

What is it about her character that she is not afraid of death and even looks forward to death?

There are countless questions in my heart that cannot be answered, probably related to the secret that Feiyin is carrying.Finally, Kira rubbed her head with his hands, and said half-jokingly, "Feiyin doesn't care, but I will. I am fighting for this, and it has nothing to do with Feiyin's wishes. I want to protect, as long as I If I don't fall down, I will never let the gunfire spread behind me, and as long as I don't die, I will never let Feiyin die before me."

"Hey, Kira, don't make promises casually. One life is very heavy. There is a ship of people behind you. Do you want to exhaust yourself? And just now you said that you hate fighting."

"Yeah, I hate fighting, but I have someone I want to protect. For this reason, I will work hard not to be afraid."

lie.Concubine frowned tightly, facing this kind of dumb, but gentle, good person who always thinks of others... Her words are really useless, are they useless?

"Forget about my complaints." Kira treated her like a child again, reaching out and stroking her hair, "Don't worry about me, I don't care anymore."

Fei Yin just let her hair be rubbed without any resistance.

Kira, do you know that when some words are spoken, it seems that even oneself is about to be deceived, and even oneself is about to believe, but in fact it is still a lie.

Facing Fei Yin's eyes, Kira could only dodge in embarrassment, because he and Captain Mu were the only combat power left on the Archangel. His friends, Sai, Miria, Dole, Kazui, And Fleur, they were all afraid, so he couldn't be afraid.

Finally, Fei Yin let out a breath, "Well, you have the right to complain, and I will treat it as a complaint and forget about it."

At this moment, the sound of warning suddenly sounded, [Enemy shadow captured, first battle configuration, military personnel immediately returned to their posts, Kira Yamato, quickly went to the bridge. ]

Feiyin raised her head to listen to the call that almost spread to every cabin.

"Going to fight."

"Well, do you want to send me to the battlefield?"

"Going to the battlefield? You said it was really easy." In the end, Feiyin still followed, watching Kira put on the blue and white driving suit. "Is this the driving suit?"

"En." When Kira put on the driving suit, Feiyin handed him the helmet.

"Hey, did I bother you?" Mu, who had already put on his driving suit, walked in and smiled, even Feiyin gave her a glare, she didn't care at all, "It's nice to be young, it's really enviable."

"Eh!?" Kira, who came back to his senses, blushed. "No." He was misunderstood again.

"No need to explain, no need to explain, I understand." Mu patted Kira on the shoulder, and then gave a thumbs up. "She is beautiful, and she helps you everywhere. She is a good girl except for her sharp words. Boy, you have a good vision. So this time Let's fight, let's fight together, fight a good fight and come back alive."

Kira, who was very speechless when Mu teased her, calmed down when she heard the next sentence, "As long as you win this battle, it's over, right?"

"Well, it can be said that this battle is a surprise attack. When I am going to attack the local fleet, you have to assist and protect the Archangel in the rear. If they are successfully retreated, our ship will be able to reach the Eurasian Federation smoothly. Inside, you and your friends will be safe." Mu replied to Kira in this way.

And Kira believed it too, is that really the case?The shadow between Fei Yin's eyebrows is getting deeper and deeper.

"Concubine." Thinking that Concubine was disturbed, Kira called her name, "I will definitely protect you and let you reach the Eurasian Federation safely. I will never let the flames of war spread behind me."

What I said was to comfort the people behind me, and it was also to stabilize my shaky heart.

As Concubine Yin who was being comforted, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally she couldn't help but sigh for this fool.He really doesn't think about himself at all. For him, it is best not to reach the Eurasian Federation.

"Then, come back alive."

In the end, he didn't say anything to stop him, but obeyed his will and sent him to the battlefield.

Looking at Kira's smile, even knowing that he was holding on, he couldn't bear to expose it.

<<<<<<<<

——I will protect you.

This belief accompanies Kira to sit on Strike Gundam.

But he never let go of his nervous heart, he had already vaguely anticipated what he was going to face.

You will meet friends who have been lost for many years, and you will meet each other.

Only by saying the word protection can he be temporarily freed from hesitation, and only in this way can he have the courage to move forward.

—Kira, you're trying too hard, you don't like fighting, right, you're scared...

He's still hesitating, so he's wavering, he's not as determined as he appears to be.

As a new human being among natural people... there is indeed an urge to give up everything as Fei Yin said.

But... If he really wants to leave behind Feiyin, Sai, Miria, and Dole, he can't do it.Even if what Fei Yin said, no one would blame him... He couldn't forgive himself either.

He is indeed afraid, but... Complaints are frustrating words that cannot change the status quo even if they are spoken out.

Kira looked at the joystick tightly in his hands sadly.He has to fight.

He was afraid that once he admitted this kind of thing, the belief he had been holding on to for a long time would disappear.

Pretending to be strong will definitely be defeated in an instant.

He has already lost the past, and also lost the chance to reunite with Aslan. Now that he has given up on one side, he must not lose his natural friend again.

absolutely can't...

[Strike Gundam, enter ejection position. ]

"The equipment is the Air Combat Strike Gundam. After leaving the Archangel, you will encounter the enemy immediately. Do you understand!?"

"Yes." Kira, who forced himself to calm down, had already clenched the joystick, and the thruster was also opened instantly.

"Kira Yamato, Gundam, attack!"

<<<<<<<<<<

——Because Kira is a new human.

——As a new human, standing in the Earth Army, this is simply impossible.Will he really protect us!

In the most dangerous moving passage, facing the danger that the explosion generated by the high-temperature particle cannon could break through the transparent wall at any time, Feiyin didn't care. Spots of light emanate from the pages in her hands, spreading in this unmanned passage, spreading in the universe full of gunpowder and war.

Those pitch-black eyes looked at those war shells calmly and sadly, just like the universe that contained all of this.

Those on the Archangel who were rescued by Kira from the lifeboat hugged their close ones and cried, and they all complained about why they had to go into battle after carrying them.

They all worried that they would die in the next moment amidst the explosions and tremors.Hiding in the huge Archangel and shivering, he never thought about the mood of those who fought outside the Angel, who faced death head-on.

Kira's efforts, his hard work, are taken for granted by them, because he is a new human being, only he has this ability, who can fight if he doesn't fight.

No one cares about his struggle, no one believes his protection.

His choice, his persistence, in the end, is just meaningless.

"Kira, actually, I like gentle humans the most, but I hate humans who live for others the most."

Because such a person is too painful and too sad...

Having fought countless such people, their blood always stained her whole body.

Such a person has a beautiful heart, but is also fragile. Every time I watch such a person cry or die, I feel sad.
