The shining Shoko Toyokawa

……

"The situation is really serious, haha..."

Aine wanted to laugh, but failed.

"What state of emergency? Isn't it just that old pedophile who's clinging to the presidency? It's not like he hasn't entered one before during the satellite war."

Li Xi frowned as he listened to the broadcast on the Ford. "Rather than that, let's discuss how we can win Oblivionis."

"Oblivionis or something, don't talk about her as if she is a stranger, Lixi..."

"Yes, Sushi, Oblivionis is just a stranger," Li Xi's eyebrows were raised high, and his fists were clenched, "We can only see it this way before we can fight her, right?!"

"Tomorrow we will pass through the strait and enter the Atlantic Ocean. Perhaps in the next moment, she will attack us, and we can't even treat her as an enemy. How can we fight like this?"

"..."

"Xia Ya, Xiangzi, and Oblivionis are all Lenai's enemies," Lenai broke the silence between them, "because Lenai doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want everyone else to die either."

“Let’s talk about the battle plan first,” Aine decided to put aside all that for now, “Beam weapons won’t pose much of a threat to her, so…”

"Only the floating missiles are left, right..." Su Shi took over the conversation. "Floating weapons controlled by brain waves sometimes go beyond reason. Even if the floating missiles can catch up with her, I can't guarantee that I can make the missiles explode at the last moment..."

"No," Aiyin placed her hands on Soyo's shoulders and said seriously, "Soyo, you have to make sure the missile explodes."

"But..." Su Shi wanted to say something, but seeing Aine's determined look, she couldn't say it in the end.

"Cosi's cockpit is very sturdy," Aine assured her companions, glancing around at them. "From now on, leave her to me."

"Aine,"

Li Xi's mood was complicated.

"Are you leaving too..."

But Li Xi did not try to keep him, because for a "bird" with wings, the free sky is its home.

"For Xiao Deng," the black-haired girl slowly extended her hand to her friends.

Then it was Lenai, "For grandma and family,"

"So that humans can reach the space soon,"

Su Shi was slow to extend her hand, and the three of them did not urge her. They just kept their three palms overlapping and waited quietly.

The flaxen-haired girl recalled the afternoon she came to see him and the time they spent together.

Finally, she returned to reality, and her companions were watching her—

So, she placed her hands on the backs of her friends' hands, "...in order to return to normal daily life,"

"We... absolutely cannot lose!"*4

The four tender palms remained overlapping for a long time.

……

At night, in the Atlantic Ocean, a gray island is rising,

It is called an island, but it looks more like a steel shark monster that only appears in monster movies.

It is so big that King Kong and Godzilla from the legendary universe can stand on its back and fight.

The 26-meter-high Cauchy looks like a toy in front of it. This is the Nautilus, a Mazur-class submarine.

Under the guidance of the navigator, Cauchy slowly entered the hangar which was half flooded.

Two Zakus and one Anxia had already been put into storage, and the accompanying operators also boarded the Nautilus in kayaks.

When the hatch was closed, the seawater in the hangar was quickly drained, and the ground crew quickly pulled out the water guns and used the stored fresh water to wash the seawater off Coch's legs, and then the other MS.

"Sorry, Cosey..."

Xia Ya stared at the steel giant that belonged to her with mixed feelings.

A large machine like Cauchy would be hard to fit in the hangar of the Nautilus, and there were no spare parts available for replacement.

Filling it with some normal nozzle propellant and replenishing the ammunition for the 60mm Vulcan cannon on the head is already the limit.

The ammunition for the 60mm Vulcan cannon still comes from the "friendly sponsorship" of a major country.

"I'm sorry, Adele, I couldn't get your sister out,"

Without turning around, Xia Ya noticed Adele's approaching footsteps.

"Because we're on the battlefield..." Adele forced a smile, "So there's nothing we can do."

"It's all because of those guys getting in the way. There might not be such a good opportunity again. I was trying to force her to abandon the plane and escape."

"That's it..."

Although she didn't know the details, Adele had roughly figured out what was going on. "Thank you for your hard work, Xia Ya-san,"

Adele knew, having fought with her sister before, that this... was really hard.

"You should go and get some rest. Tomorrow is the final battle, and there's also Miss Natasha."

"No, it's you who should rest," Natasha said calmly, looking at Adele. To be more precise, Maya Hilbert. "You will drive Anxia tomorrow."

"Huh?" Maya felt a little bitter, but it was natural for a spy like her to be suspected.

So Maya nodded and said, "Well, I'll drive it."

"You may have misunderstood something,"

Seeing her expression, Natasha clearly understood what she was thinking. "I'm staying here to ensure your escape route. There might be more than one spy on the Nautilus right now. I'm better at catching mice than driving a mobile suit.

And you need to ensure her escape route. You absolutely cannot let her die. Do you understand?"

"Xia Ya-san," Maya was even more bewildered. "Can you really leave this kind of thing to me?"

Maya didn't know what to say about asking a spy to pick her up.

"You're the one who piloted the Ankhsha and survived the Kshatriyas, Adele... no, Lieutenant Maya."

"Lieutenant Maya or something..." She was a little embarrassed, "You should just call me Adele."

"Okay, Adele, can you come here for a moment? I need your help."

"Help? Are you hurt there?!"

Looking at the background of the two people, Natasha sighed in her heart, "Don't die, Xia Ya..."

…………

Looking at the tidy room that hadn't changed much since she left, Xia Ya felt quite satisfied.

"You want me to pretend to be you again?" Adele said with a wry smile, "I was exposed when Cosi attacked last time."

"Of course, the same trick can't be used a second time."

Xia Ya took out the hair dye and tools from the hidden compartment of the closet.

"Please help me dye my hair."

Adele took the hair dye and took a look. The color was clearly marked on the plastic bottle.

aqua blue

"Dye me back to... my original color."

"The original color?"

Adele was a little surprised. Fearing exposure, she had only had brief contact with Jian a few times, and not even once since arriving at the Demon Shark level.

Therefore, until now, she did not know Xia Ya's true identity.

"Toyokawa Shoko is my real name, and Xia Isabella is the name of my half-sister."

"Eh?"

Adele was stunned.

"I borrowed this name and identity from her."

"Xia Ya... no, Fengchuan..." Adele pronounced the name with some unfamiliarity, "Shoko-san, it turns out that we are all the same."

"No, we are different, Adele," Xiangzi said seriously, "My sister will never come back, but your sister still has hope.

Tomorrow I will try my best to cut off the Kshatriya's wings, you take the pilot away first."

"What about you?" Adele was extremely distressed. "Penelope and the other Gundams are not easy to deal with, right? And America may use nuclear bombs at any time. Even Cosey is not invincible!"

"I can't let my tragedy happen to you, Adele," Xia Ya said seriously, "Before I knew I had a sister, she died in a cold and uncared-for forest because of the greed of adults.

Your sister is probably still a little kid,

Her heart was twisted by the adults, and even her memories were taken away. Isn't it too sad to let such a child die on the battlefield?"

"But…"

Adele wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

Is there any sister in this world who can say something like: "Kill my sister, or just ignore her"?

"Xiangzi, you're not looking for death, are you?"

More importantly, Adele discovered something strange. "Even though we only fought once, because of those damn adults, my sister is definitely not a likable person, right?"

Adele spoke faster and faster, "Anyway, she's definitely not as important to you as your friends! But even so, you still want to save her life...

Are you really ready to fight them?"

"I'm not ready..." Xiangzi chose to answer honestly, "But... I have to fight."

"Hey, Adele, help me dye my hair first,"

"Ms. Xia..."

Adele was silent for a long time, then she opened the tools and started to mix the hair dye.

"Adele, let me tell you about me... Toyokawa Shoko,"

"I was born in District 11, into a family called Fengchuan. Before I was 15, I didn't really know what worry was..."

Xiangzi tells his story like a storyteller.

Adele felt as if she were making arrangements for her death.

Perhaps it was because the hair dye had a pungent smell, tears gradually wet Adele's eyes.

Adele now feels embarrassed when being called by her real name.

Xia Ya...Xiangzi, if she dyes her hair back to its original color, can she really become the carefree young lady again?

The answer is…no.

Xiangzi's "color" can never be "dyed" back.

Chapter 173: Survive...

"...Well, everyone, I'm going out."

The girl with aquamarine hair finished recording, put down the camera facing the mirror, and said, "Adele, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay, I understand," Adele nodded vigorously, "Please leave it to me!"

"Xiangzi..."

Just as the aqua-haired girl was about to leave, Adele stopped her, "Please put on your protective driving suit!"
