book of contract

In order to prevent the Archangel from entering the umbrella of the Eurasian Federation, the ZAFT Army did not hesitate to put all the Gundam series of bodies snatched from the Earth Army into battle.

"This machine...Aslan." Looking at the enlarged machine on his screen, the red Holy Shield Gundam was his best friend who had met and fought with him in Heliopolis before and destroyed Heliopolis.

Seeing that the Strike Gundam was surrounded by three aircraft, the Archangel launched an attack first, in order to assist Kira, and to protect their only combat power, the Strike Gundam.

When the radar aimed at those airframes and fired thirteen to eighteen tubes of missiles, a Gundam had already passed Kira's assault, avoiding the attack and rushing towards the Archangel with a weapon.

"How can I let you succeed!" Kira's purpose is to cover and protect the Archangel, so he picked up the giant long sword equipped, rushed towards the Gundam and swung the sword for melee, Aslan drove the red Gundam quickly. stood before him and braced his sword with a similar weapon. "Stop it, Kira!"

Flicking off Kira's weapon, Aslan's red Gundam retreated instantly, but it still held the sword in front of Kira, and did not take the initiative to attack.

"Aslan." Facing his friend, Kira didn't forcefully surpass him because he didn't want to fight him.

"Put down the sword Kira, you and I are not enemies, are we!? I don't want to fight with you." Even because of his different positions, Aslan didn't have the mood to kill Kira. If he could, he wanted to Choose to fight side by side with Kira, not with swords at each other. "Why do we have to fight! Kira..."

Why fight... Kira clenched the joystick, if he could, he didn't want to...

But it was agreed, to protect them... It was an agreement with Fei Yin.

"Kira! You, a new human, why are you standing with the Earth Army! Why do you have to fight me!" Aslan didn't understand why he had to fight when they met again after being separated for more than ten years.

If the position is different, then why would Kira stand on the side of the natural person, obviously they are all new humans!

Every word, every word, every call of Aslan pierced into Kira's heart like a needle with incomparable precision.

Faced with such a question, he was extremely hesitant.

——Because Kira is a new human.

The strong pressure made him feel difficult to breathe... "I..." Seeing that the Archangel was hit, he turned back immediately, but Aslan blocked him again.

"Stop Kira, why are you in the Earth Army? Why are you helping the old humans!" Aslan asked angrily.

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

Not only Aslan, but even Fleur's previous question resurfaced again, echoing in his ears.

In the dilemma, Kira can't even choose at all.While protecting the Archangel, he defended against the attacks of other organisms, and he was unable to attack Aslan from the beginning to the end.Can't answer either.

——As long as you cross here, our ship can reach the Eurasian Federation, enter there, and you and your friends will be safe.

He and his friends could be safe as long as ZAFT's army was defeated and allowed to retreat.

Behind him is everyone's safety, and what he bears is their lives.

Just defeat the guy in front of him...Kira gripped the joystick tightly.

But it's not just Zaft who stands in front of him at this moment, it's his lost past, his friend, and Aslan.

And the identity of a new human being is the root of his painful struggle.

——Kira, you're trying too hard... Has anyone told you that it's okay not to work so hard?If not, let me tell you.It doesn't matter if you don't have to work so hard, don't fight if you hate war, and it doesn't matter if you don't need to protect others.

——For me, death is like sleeping. I never entrust my life to others. I would rather die than hide behind others like a weak person and pray for their protection.

Can't be shaken, can't lose, if you lose, everyone will die with him.

Behind him, there is Concubine Yin who always thinks about him, doesn't care that he is a new human being, and cares tenderly for him.

He had to protect them, he couldn't give up, not at this moment... He had promised Feiyin.

Will protect her, will protect them...

——I am fighting for this, it has nothing to do with Feiyin's wishes, I want to protect, as long as I don't fall, never let the gunfire spread behind me, as long as I don't die, never let Feiyin die before me .

Faced with Aslan's approaching every step of the way, he shouted, "I just want to protect people! There are my important friends in the ship behind me! Why do you stand in my way as the ZAFT army?" In front of you, don't you also want to fight!"

All pain, all struggles can only be vented through fighting in this silent universe.

"Didn't you say you hate war yourself! Aslan!"

"I……"

"What are you dawdling about, Aslan!" Another Gundam intervened in the battle between the two, and took the initiative to attack Kira.

The Archangel can only continuously fire shells and missiles to defend itself to force the enemy back, and Kira is completely unable to get away to help them.At this time, Captain Mu's artillery fire attacked the local fleet, and they issued a retreat signal.

But those who received the retreat signal didn't seem to be ready to let go of the Strike Gundam that hindered them.

Kira was surrounded, and every time his heart was almost hit, he avoided it dangerously.All around are artillery missiles.

Every time he seems to pass by the god of death, seeing the inevitable death situation where he can't break out of the siege, since he will be attacked no matter what, instead of passively waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to die with the other party... He simply stopped , began to fight back.

"hateful!"

Kira's attack failed to force the enemy back. Seeing that the energy was gradually exhausted, the color of Strike Gundam disappeared and gradually turned gray, as if it had been petrified. No matter how hard he struggled, it was difficult to move in the universe.Watching the enemy raise his sword at this moment, seeing the sword swinging down towards him with destructive power, if he was hit, he would die, captured by that desperate fear, but without any energy to move.

"Damn it, move!"

Can't keep protecting the Archangel?What about those who cry?

Did you lose? ?

Kira closed her eyes subconsciously, all sounds seemed to disappear at that moment, only the beating of the heart was heard.

Will he die here!

……

Feiyin was floating in the moving channel, no matter what kind of tremors could affect her, it seemed that it was not because of the lack of gravity that she was suspended, but because she stood in nothingness from the beginning and was not affected by anything.

She closed the red eyes that were faintly revealing blood, she could see all the battlefields, and could hear everyone's voice, including what Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu said that the Archangel could not assist Kira in the chaos.

Feiyin saw Kira gritted her teeth unwillingly in the face of the artillery fire.I saw the way he gave up hope and closed his eyes.

I also saw the red Holy Shield Gundam turn into claws in an instant, grabbing Strike Gundam and saving Kira.

— Kira, are you scared?

It seems to hear a familiar voice, is it a hallucination?Is it an illusion before people despair! ?Kira suddenly opened his eyes, but found that he was not dead.

It was Aslan who saved his life at a critical moment, "Aslan?" Not only him, but even Aslan's companions didn't know what he was doing, why did he save the enemy from the sword at the last moment? Down.Kira couldn't understand what her friend was thinking.Why catch him.

— Don't be afraid, Kira.

Concubine Yin, this hallucination again, seemed to hear Concubine Yin's voice.

Kira, who was caught by Aslan's Holy Shield Gundam, searched left and right in the cockpit. This is the universe and the battlefield. Feiyin will not appear here.Some lost, some relieved.

"Aslan, what are you doing!" It seemed to be the angry voice of someone who wanted to kill Kira.

In Kira's ear was the dispute between Aslan and his comrades, "I captured this aircraft."

"What did you say! The order is to break through!" But there is no capture order, and all enemies should be killed.And at that moment Aslan disobeyed the order.

"It's best to capture it. Retreat." Aslan wanted to take away with Kira who attacked Gundam. As long as Kira was still in the Earth Army, they would continue to fight like this.

Feiyin closed her eyes tightly, but raised the corners of her mouth lightly. This would be a blow to the Archangel and the Earth Army.The enemy did not destroy Strike Gundam, did not kill Kira, but directly captured it.

Leave with your friends, Kira.

If you are taken by force, you don't need to struggle, and you don't need to have this unnecessary sense of guilt.

If Kira left, she would not have to continue to face this boring battlefield like a game.

After all, when she first opened her eyes, she didn't want to get involved with anyone, but Kira pulled her in without hesitation. She has no ties to this world, if she has to say that there is something she can't let go of, it's just this child.

However, things did not develop as Feiyin hoped.

Under the suggestion of Captain Mu, the Archangel prepared to take a gamble to shoot out long gun equipment from the bullet slot, and wanted Kira to change equipment and energy packs in danger.

<<<<<

"Aslan, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take you to the Gamow ship like this."

"Are you kidding, I don't want to go to ZAFT's ship!" Kira desperately pulled the joystick, trying to make Strike Gundam move.

"You are a new human being, our partner!" Aslan reminded of this fact.

"I'm not going to ZAFT!"

"Enough is enough, Kira! Just go with me like this, otherwise, I will have to kill you!" Aslan said loudly, holding back the pain, not only Kira, but also his hand holding the joystick tightly I couldn't help trembling, just thinking about the picture of killing Kira would make me feel scared. "My mother died on Blood Valentine's Day, I..." Just as he was about to continue talking to Kira, the sudden missiles forced him to stop speaking, and manipulated the Holy Shield Gundam, which was clutching the attack, to dodge .

But in the end, he was forced by those missiles to let go of the Strike Gundam and enter the battle mode.

Aslan suffered as much as he did, they were all forced by the war to pick up the blade and stand here.

Kira, who realized this, did not run away immediately when he was free.

"The Archangel is about to launch long gun equipment, go, kid, there are us behind you." Mu connected to Kira.

— to come back alive.

Thinking of Feiyin's words, thinking of the friends on the Archangel, even though he was shaken by Aslan for a moment, he still resolutely chose to turn his head, gave up the hand extended by his best friend in the war, and resolutely stayed away from the war. Ford's ships.

"Kira!!!" Aslan never expected that Kira would leave.What is more important than being a new human, what makes him not hesitate to stay with the natural person as a new human!

All the artillery fire and missiles are to stop him and the Gundam beside him from getting close to Kira.

One of the Gundam broke into the launch range regardless of the surrounding dangers when Kira was receiving the long gun equipment, and locked and aimed at Kira who was changing the equipment.

This is a gamble that even puts one's life on the line. Amidst the artillery fire and thunder, even Kira, who was fighting with the idea that he must not die and go back alive, had the illusion that he would be blown to pieces at that moment.

In the end, he was successfully replaced, and the energy was full again.Strike Gundam regained its fighting power once again.Under the attack of his pulse gun, all four ZAFT Gundams retreated.

The battle was narrowly won.

Back in the Archangel, Kira's head was still dripping with sweat, he was panting, he didn't recover from the fear of almost dying, his heart was still beating fast.

In front of his eyes was the distant scene of Aslan's red Gundam.

When the cabin door opened, Fei Yin rushed in ahead of Captain Mu, "Kira." She saw Kira's constricted pupils, pale cheeks, and the tense contraction of his muscles. down. "Are you scared?"

The familiar and concerned words were the same as those he had heard in distress before, bringing Kira back to his senses, and his blurred vision recovered, and what he saw were the faces of Fei Yin and Captain Mu.

"Are you still alive?"

"En." Kira nodded, and with Feiyin's help, he relaxed his body and let go of his hands.

"What are you talking about? Of course we are alive and have survived the battle victoriously!" Mu said to Feiyin, as if he was very dissatisfied with her obvious question.

"Oh? Is that so, are you still alive?" Feiyin squinted at Mu, and the expression that she saw you just now made Mu choke for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

It took a long time before he said, "I know I'm hindering you two, I'll go away..." The aggrieved look like being bullied by Feiyin made Kira laugh.

Seeing such a scene, even though she was still a little tired and scared, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "I came back alive, Feiyin."

"Welcome back, Kira."

When Kira completely relaxed himself, he couldn't stand anymore and fell directly towards Feiyin. If the bridge had gravity, if Kira pressed down from Feiyin's head like this, both of them would fall off the huge Gundam , not dead but also seriously injured.

Because of the lack of gravity, Kira pressed on Feiyin, and Feiyin raised her hand subconsciously, and the two of them were suspended in mid-air, which looked like they were hugging, which made people feel warm.

Holding the unconscious Kira, Fei Yin said to herself, "If I say, I don't expect you to come back, will you be very sad?"

In the end, Kira came back and risked his life.

If the replacement was slower at that time, the result would not be Zaft's retreat, but Kira's body would be smashed to pieces in the artillery fire.

Kira just lost consciousness for a short time, and soon woke up, and found that she was actually pressing on Fei Yin, and her face turned red.

"woke up?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, Feiyin, I'm sorry. I'll get up right away."

"It doesn't matter, you are not very heavy." Feiyin replied calmly, in this gravity-free situation, there is no weight at all. "If you're tired, you can take a rest, I don't mind." She put her arms around Kira's back.

Kira, who was a little surprised, looked at Feiyin's calm expression, unable to bring up any misleading thoughts, "Feiyin, thank you." Regarding Kira's thanks, Feiyin did not refute at all this time. "Just one touch, let me give you a hug..." At that moment, he thought he was really going to die. If he hadn't heard Fei Yin's voice at that moment, he would have given up long ago.The voice was trembling a little, and the emotions finally poured out unbearably, with strong uneasiness and fear, and the sting caused by Aslan's previous words could not be ignored.

It's really gentle... Feiyin thought, her dark eyes looked helplessly at Kira who was hugging her.Can't help but care about him more and more... This is not good news.

Couldn't help sighing, she patted Kira's head with her hand, "Does this make you feel better?"

Kira's tense and trembling body gradually returned to calm, "Thank you, Feiyin. Are we in the Eurasian Federation now?"

"Yes, when you return to the ship, the Archangel has already entered the Eurasian Federation." Fei Yin calmly let go of her hand without any smile.

"It's finally over, it's great." In this way, ZAFT's army will no longer chase after him, he doesn't have to go to the battlefield, and everyone's safety is guaranteed. Kira let go of his arm and pulled Feiyin stood up, and the two of them stood together on the non-gravity ground.

"Great? Why?" She asked after a long time.

"Eh? Why?" Kira didn't see Feiyin's joy, but was stunned by her rhetorical question.

"I said, what's so good?" Feiyin asked again.

"Feiyin, you can leave the Archangel and leave the war, okay?"

Can you really leave?Such naive expectations with expectations. "Hey, Kira, did you really think that this was the last in the war before, so you worked so hard?"

"No, it's not just that... it's just subconscious, wanting to come back alive." Kira replied with some embarrassment and hesitation.Facing Concubine Yin's puzzled gaze, he moved his gaze aside, "When I was about to die, I seemed to hear Concubine Yin's voice, and... I promised Concubine Yin that I would come back alive."

"..." Is that so, is it only because of her unintentional words, because of her existence here, that this result is caused?What a gentle person.She sighed, "You shouldn't have come back." The soft whisper was barely heard by Kira.

"Fei Yin?"

"Do you really think that this is the end? Who have you been fighting with all this time?"

"of course……"

"Zaft?" Feiyin interrupted him with a sarcastic smile, "Then why do natural people fight Zft? Because Zaft is a new human being."

The belief you have always adhered to protects the people behind you, but who are you protecting behind you?Who are you fighting with?

As a new human being, what you protect are natural persons, and what you kill are your real compatriots.

"Do you think, as a new human being, staying in this place full of natural people, what do you think you will encounter?"

Where is the Eurasian Federation?It is a branch of the Earth Army.What will a new human encounter in a place full of natural people?

For a long time, the problems that I had no time to take into account gradually surfaced.

Facing Feiyin's indifferent smile, Kira subconsciously took two steps back, "Feiyin...I..."

Kira only felt that Feiyin in front of him seemed to become alienated in an instant, and she became a little unfamiliar, as if the Feiyin who hugged him before and sat beside him with a smile to comfort him were all fake.

Seeming to see through Kira's uneasiness, Feiyin replied, "Hey, it's all fake. What you see, feel, and hear are all fake. All along, you insisted on fighting desperately until now. Beliefs are also false, and those are the lies you use to deceive yourself. Here, no one will really be good for you and care about you."

……

"If I'm not here, I'm gone, you will continue to deceive yourself and know nothing." Feiyin approached Kira, watching him unable to move because of the cruel future that was placed in front of him, even Feiyin couldn't respond to the gentle and cold movement of approaching and reaching out to touch his cheek.

"You must think that I am very kind, but my tenderness to you may not be true, I just feel that you are very pitiful." At that moment, she seemed to hear a cracking sound, and she shattered Kira's fantasy , gave his sensitive heart a fatal blow.

[Forgive me for being cruel, I don’t want to endure it anymore, this kind of waste of time is meaningless to me. ]

[The closer you are, the easier it is to be attracted.I can't help but want to forget my own nature.Forget the fact that you have blood on your hands. ]

[If it doesn't end, let it develop, and one day I will kill you. ]
