Chapter 1495 Contradiction and Conflict
"I'm back."
"Yeah, I'm back."
"It's been more than half a year since we left, right?"
Hibiki Yuta, Utsumi Sho and Takarata Rikka looked at the familiar city through the glass of the viewing corridor. They were filled with emotions for a moment. They boarded the [Drestliga] in a daze at first, and then started After their fighting trip, they returned to their hometown after more than half a year. It seemed that everything was so familiar yet strange.
"Yuta, what do you mean to Shinjo-san..."
"Of course, defeat her!" Rikka Takarata was looking for Yuta Hibiki, but Utsumi Shogun said before Yuta Hibiki could speak. He was the one who knew the truth, and countless people died at the hands of the monster created by Akane Shinjo. Maybe he has forgotten that among the dead are his friends, so Akane Shinjo is the embodiment of evil and should be knocked down.
"Wait! Is this too much!?" Rikka Takarata burst out dissatisfied. She was very resistant to General Utsumi's attitude, especially his attitude of treating himself as a hero of justice. The battles were fought between Gurlitt and Hibiki Yu. Tai participated, the training was led by Yang Hui and others, and the logistical supplies and intelligence support were also provided by members of [Drestliga]. What did Inland Sea do? What qualifications do you have to consider yourself a hero?
Support Gullit? Don't be ridiculous. You just yelled in front of an old computer. Is this a hero of justice?
If it were in the past, Rikka Takarata wouldn't have said much, and she didn't want to create internal conflicts, so she never had a close relationship with Utsumi Shoji.
But this time when it came to her friends, Rikka Takarata couldn't stay silent any longer.
Yes, Akane Shinjo, the apparent instigator of the Azalea Terrace, is a friend of Rikka Takarata. When Yang Hui first talked to them and told them that Akane Shinjou was the creator of the Azalea Terrace and the initiator of the creation of the monster, she She couldn't believe it no matter what. It wasn't until Yang Hui put out pieces of ironclad evidence in front of her that she had no choice but to accept this fact.
But despite this, Rikka Takarata is also comforting herself, because the information provided by Yang Hui also mentioned that Akane Shinjo's ability to create monsters is not innate to her, and there is a hidden existence behind Akane Shinjo. Preliminary speculation is that it is an intruder from an alien civilization, and its existence gave Akane Shinjo such abilities.
In this way, Rikka Takarata naturally shifted all the responsibilities to the intruder. Rikka Takarata was not guilty. She was just bewitched and even manipulated.
"Is this too much? She created monsters and killed so many people, shouldn't she be knocked down?" Utsumi Shogun said to Rikka Takarata with a righteous tone.
"Haha? What kind of statement from a knight of justice are you talking about? We still haven't figured out whether Xiao Qian is being manipulated, okay!?"
"Even if Shinjou-san is really manipulated, no one can deny what she has done! And... we are the Gulit Alliance! We are the embodiment of justice!"
"Obviously you can't do anything except cheering, you can't even persist in ordinary training, and you can't learn anything. How do you have the right to say that!?"
"What did you say!?"
At this moment, Takarata Rikka completely exploded, venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart towards General Utsumi. General Utsumi naturally refused to give up after hearing the words. It was probably because Takarata Rikka stabbed the pain in his heart, causing Utsumi Shoya was also angry, as if he wanted to fight Takarata Rikka until death.
"Takarata-san! Sho! Stop arguing!" Yuta Hibiki's mind was still buzzing. He was originally thinking about Akane Shinjou. Was he being manipulated? Is it out of control? If so, how should she be saved? If not, how should I treat Shinjo Akane? Is it annihilation? Or let her go?
But the quarrel between the two was so fierce that Hibiki Yuta was forced to interrupt his thoughts and quickly stood between the two to prevent them from fighting. "What are you doing?"
"What happened?"
"Bado-san, Utsumi-san, don't quarrel."
Originally, there were only three of them in the viewing corridor, but the noise caused by the quarrel between Rikka Takarata and Sho Utsumi was so loud that people around and passing by were attracted, and when they saw it, they quickly stepped forward to stop and persuade the two.
However, not knowing the inside story, they could not calm down the two people's excited emotions. They could only separate the two impulsive people, and then persuade and comfort them respectively.
"Finally broke out?" Elzam muttered, leaning against the wall.
"Have you discovered it a long time ago?" Ladis F. Braxitta asked as he looked at Elzam with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you notice?"
"..."
Faced with Elzam's rhetorical question, Ladis F. Braschita was speechless and choked. The correct statement is that there were very few people on the ship who did not notice the conflict between Takarata Rikka and Utsumi Sho. Especially Utsukai Sho. Some people still criticize General Utsumi.
As Rikka Takarata said, General Utsumi really had nothing to do on [Drestliga] and did not make much contribution.
Rikka Takarata and Utsumi Sho are positioned as the support team of Hibiki Yuta and Gulit. They do not participate in the battle, but they can provide emotional support to Hibiki Yuta and Gulit, strengthen Hibiki Yuta's will, encourage and cheer up.
Apart from that, they have no other abilities. They are just ordinary high school students. How do you expect them to be able to prepare mobile suits? Or join the Marine Corps to fight? Or participate in research work?
In this regard, Rikka Takarata's situation is slightly better. Because she is a girl, she can prepare meals and other things together with the members of the logistics team. Utsumi General... can only help clean the ship.
It’s not that they weren’t given a chance. Rikka Takarata knew that she was not that material and didn’t intend to stay in the Federation Army, so she took the initiative to reject the opportunity. Because of this, Rikka Takarata was in [Drestliga] I have never regarded myself as a righteous hero, but always regarded myself as an ordinary person, doing what I can to help everyone.
General Utsumi... signed up excitedly at first, but then... didn't persist for more than 3 days. Mainly because of his attitude. There was a kind of showing off and showing off that Gullit had a share of the credit for every victory. , causing some people in the ship to not exclude him, but they would never have a close friendship with him, and they complained in private.
"It doesn't matter if it breaks out now." Erzam said, "I have read the information carefully. This is an opportunity and a test for them. If Utsumi classmate can't clearly understand himself, then he... in the end It’s better to disembark here.”
"...Hmm." It was very rare that Ladis F. Brasiuta couldn't remember the last time he agreed with Elzam's point of view.
