Chapter 303 Don’t do stupid things
“Hey, what are you...doing?” Aslan came to Cagalli and asked with a speechless expression, his tone was as if he was looking at his own bear. The helpless old father of his children.
“Can’t you understand?”
“Huh?”
“I can’t move, stop standing there, help me!”
"You're like this, do you still have a dignified stance?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"
"..." Aslan really can't accept Cagalli With my brain circuit, I really doubt what kind of family can raise such a daughter. We are enemies of each other. We were fighting to the death just now. Now you are tied up by me. Strictly speaking, you are my prisoner. Which family do you belong to? The prisoner yelled at the person who captured him like a young lady?
Although he was speechless, Aslan still squatted down and helped Cagalli up from the water.
As soon as she was helped up, Cagalli was about to say thank you, when a little crab slowly crawled out from under Cagalli's hair. A pair of small dark eyes looked at Cagalli, and then looked at her again. Looking at Aslan, the little mouth that was spitting bubbles seemed to be tilted in a very obscene arc, and with a sound of "Plop~", he jumped into the water again.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha..."
"Are crabs so funny?"
"No, sorry, it's just new to me."
" Are there no crabs in PLANT?" Cagalli glared at Aslan angrily, stood up and jumped out of the shield's shelter, exposing herself to the downpour.
“Hey, where are you going?”
"Just in time to wash up, my whole body is covered with sand and sea water." Feeling the refreshment washed by the rain, Cagalli raised her head and smiled, "Oh ha~! It feels so refreshing!"
Aslan was stunned when he saw this. After a moment, he smiled helplessly, walked behind Cagalli, raised the knife in his hand, and cut the rope that bound Cagalli.
“Uh?”
“You have no weapons, so you can’t cause any big trouble if you want to.”
“What did you say!?”
"There seems to be crabs in your clothes."
"Huh?" Cagalli blushed, and sure enough she felt itching coming from her chest. Without thinking anything, she lifted up her clothes and exposed her clothes. The white and tender skin even reveals the southern hemisphere, which is not alone.
"It really does exist!" Cagalli exclaimed when a little crab fell down, but at this moment, her eyes collided with Aslan's, and they were both stunned at the same time. Face flushed.
Aslan realized that he seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen. He blushed and turned away. However, in his haste, he didn't pay attention to his steps. With a "plop", he ended up in the same situation as Cagalli. end.
……
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping at all, but it is full of ambiguity and warmth, as if it wants to fulfill a certain two people.
In desperation, Aslan and Cagalli did not dare to stay in the rain any longer. They found a nearby cave and hid in it. They set up firewood and dried their soaked clothes.
“Here.”
Wrapped in a blanket, Cagalli stared blankly at the military rations handed over by Aslan.
"The signal here is very poor. We will probably spend the night here tonight." Seeing Cagalli not answering, Aslan shrugged helplessly and placed it at her feet.
"Isn't it your fault that the signal is so bad?"
"..."
Aslan was silent again, turned around and picked up his share of food, and replied in a low voice. : "That's because the Earth Army launched a nuclear strike first."
Now it's Cagalli's turn to be silent. Of course she knows that the source of the war is the Earth Army's nuclear strike. Hatred brings hatred, forming an infinite spread. Chain, but she just couldn't understand why the two sides had to fight to the death? Can't we be like Orb? In Orb, don't natural people and adjusters live together peacefully and happily?
"ZAFT's rations are also rations. Your own were washed away with the bag, right?" Seeing that Cagalli was still unmoved, Aslan persuaded.
Cagalli is arrogant and unwilling to agree or accept charity from Aslan, but her body is very honest.
"Gulu~"
"Hmm..."
From afternoon to now, I really haven't eaten anything. Cagalli is not a delicate girl. Although she was a young lady, she did not leave the scope of a eldest lady. Naturally, her stomach growled with hunger. In the end, she had no choice but to pick up the rations and eat them frankly.
“Ha.” When Aslan saw this, he also showed a gentle smile like an old father.
Time passed little by little, and the fire crackled. Aslan and Cagalli sat opposite each other, relatively speechless.
"You...won't you tie me up?" Cagalli asked. She just felt that the current atmosphere was too embarrassing. It was definitely not the first time that a man and a woman had lived alone in a cave in the wild. Some Fear, "If I snatch your gun away from you, the situation will be reversed." "What?"
"You will look like a fool by then."
"Pfft~ Hahaha..." Aslan laughed again. He thought Cagalli wanted to say something, but this is what happened?
"Why are you laughing!?"
"No, you really don't have a long memory."
"Well..."
"If you want to grab the gun... ..." The smile suddenly faded, and a feeling of sadness surrounded his face illuminated by the fire. "...I can only kill you, so don't do such stupid things."
" ..." Cagalli was stunned for a moment and lowered her head. She really didn't understand what Aslan meant, and why should she treat it so gently? Shouldn't they be enemies? Doesn’t the ZAFT army show no mercy to its enemies? If ZAFT treats its enemies so gently, then what kind of companions have it lost before?
"Whether it was [Heliopolis] or this time, you managed to save your life."
"Huh, I didn't expect people from ZAFT to worry about my safety."< br>
"[Heliopolis] That time... we never thought it would turn out like that."
"What?"
"[Shuguang Society] The mobile suits were developed for the Earth Army, and we originally planned to take them away.”
"What else is there to say now? No amount of sophistry can change the fact that you destroyed the colonial satellite!"
"Then Orb's neutrality is just to act as a backer to both sides?" Aslan asked, In fact, his political literacy was not very high. He couldn't bear to see Orb playing both sides, making deals with both parties and seeking benefits from them. Even though Yang Hui, Wang Liumei and Huang were all his friends, he had the same view.
Since you declare neutrality to the outside world, then don’t do anything, just watch and watch!
"..." Cagalli was silent. Not only Aslan, she was also very dissatisfied with Orb's actions, and she didn't understand it even more.
“We are fighting for PLANT and we cannot leave things like that alone.”
"Isn't it the same on the earth? Your invasion has made the earth a mess, so we..."
The eyes of the two collided, and the flames shone in the pupils of both parties. Some were angry, some were angry. Not willing to give in, he is even more passionate about persuading the other party.
In the end, Aslan averted his gaze and said with joy and fear: "My mother was on [Julius 7] at that time. If it weren't for the emperor and Wang Rumei, she would..."
“Eh?”
“Although my mother was saved, countless innocent people lost their lives in the blink of an eye, and even children could not escape. How can people swallow this? !”
Aslan knew that the tragedy of [Bloody Valentine's Day] could have been avoided. Yang Hui had already given the information in advance, but neither PLANT nor ZAFT executives paid attention, so the Earth Army succeeded.
But in the final analysis, wasn’t it the Earth Army that caused all of this to happen? It is understandable that the two armies are fighting to seek others and themselves, but the Earth Army frantically launched a nuclear strike on [Julius 7], which had no troops stationed there. This is unacceptable to anyone.
"I also have many friends who died under your fire!"
"...Forget it, there is no point in arguing with you here." Aslan gave up, he Realizing that no matter what she said, she couldn't convince Cagalli, she simply lay down and prepared to rest.
Cagalli snorted coldly, wrapped herself in a blanket and walked outside the cave. God may have realized that her help was meaningless, so the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the moon came out.
Looking up at the Holy Shield Gundam, Cagalli recalled what she saw and heard in [Heliopolis], her dispute with Yang Hui, and Yang Hui's lessons and scoldings. Her heart was in confusion. She doesn't know what is right or wrong, she doesn't understand the general principles, she just wants to follow her own ideas.
Turn around, Cagalli was surprised to find that Aslan had fallen asleep with his arms pillowed on his head.
"Hey! Are you going to sleep?"
"No, how could it be...but as soon as we landed on the earth...we were transferred..." Before he could finish his intermittent words, Aslan He closed his eyes again. He was indeed tired, and his tone showed fatigue. He didn't feel it before because he had received strict training and knew how to cheer up when faced with threats. Now he judged that Cagalli was not a threat. He also relaxed, and the accumulated fatigue suddenly surged up.
Cagalli glanced at Aslan who was sleeping, especially the gun at her waist. The angel and the devil were fighting in her heart. She was extremely entangled and sat down with her back to Aslan, and deliberately increased the pressure. The volume complained: "Don't sleep so soundly next to the enemy!"
As a result, Aslan didn't answer Cagalli at all and continued to sleep soundly.
Seeing this, Cagalli also sighed. She was increasingly confused about the situation, especially the ZAFT army.
From Andre Butterfield to Aslan, these are the two ZAFT troops she has really come into contact with, but each one brings her a completely different feeling, Andre ·Butterfield's open-mindedness and passion, and Aslan's gentleness, all impacted her inherent impression of the ZAFT army.
But excluding contact with the two of them, ZAFT only brought her the pain of war, whether it was the collapse of [Heliopolis] or the sacrifice of her North African comrades.
With a very complicated mood, Cagalli squatted next to Aslan, her hand tremblingly reached for the holster on her waist, but when she was about to make contact, she thought of Aslan's love for her. Her gentle warning, her hand paused and then retracted.
At this moment, the sound of crackling firewood woke Aslan up.
