The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Chapter 12: My Mark Rabbit!

"Ship spotted ahead! Model unknown, approaching slowly. Radar signature confirms it's the warship that picked up 'Char' five hours ago."

"come yet!"

Natasha's eyes swept across the empty universe. The distance was still outside the reliable combat radius of the MS plus the flight pedals, and she couldn't see the other party at all.

But the other party was approaching slowly, perhaps out of contempt, or perhaps with other intentions.

No matter which possibility it is, in this universe where no one can be relied upon, we must be prepared to fight to the death with the other party.

"Inform Captain Maya of the situation here. She will make her own judgment!"

"After contacting her, tell her to gather at location B14, then disperse Minovsky particles and send out reconnaissance aircraft."

Natasha gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Be careful not to get too close to the colony, or you'll get it sucked in. Now keep your distance from that battleship."

The reason why she had to arrange everything at once was because she was also wearing a pilot's suit.

She prefers to be at the front line rather than hiding behind and giving orders!

"Who would let a mere imposter be killed? The real Char is on our side!"

…………

On Colony Satellite No. 13, An and Subaru are facing an unprecedented crisis.

"boom!"

A Caius officer slammed the table, startling the girl.

"Tell me, are you in cahoots with this guy?!"

He practically pasted a blown-up ID photo onto Subaru's face.

This photo should have been taken in the past. Rencai in it looks younger and more well-behaved.

"We also found a topographic map of Colony Satellite No. 13 from your phone."

"You three came here on the same immigration ship, right? And you're hanging out with this brawler named Jing Qin Rencai. It's suspicious no matter how you look at it!"

"Don't think that just because your grandma is a celebrity, we won't dare to use force against you!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't think so!"

Subaru was almost crying. She ran all the way from the earth to the universe just to take a look at the Gundam, so why did she encounter so many problems?

"Lieutenant, the major is looking for you,"

A pink-haired officer in a black driving uniform pushed open the door and said to the furious middle-aged officer, "It seems I want to ask you where you were five hours ago."

The officer who was arrogant just now immediately became dispirited.

"Lieutenant Amano, can you help me hide the fact that I..."

"Lieutenant, what are you talking about?" Amano Haruna interrupted. "Do I know something that needs to be concealed?"

The middle-aged officer understood immediately and said with a flattering smile, "Excuse me, Lieutenant, for letting me know. I will definitely treat you to a meal if I have the chance in the future."

Seeing such a 'dirty' scene unfolding right before my eyes,

Subaru couldn't bear to watch, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cover his eyes or ears.

It's not that she is upright, but she is afraid of being silenced.

She originally thought that Hina and the pink-haired officer were having an affair, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.

The two people have completely opposite principles in dealing with people and things. One cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, while the other is as smooth as an adult.

"Are you friends with that idiot Niina?"

Uh, she's so tactful, but her first question was too direct.

Subaru was at a loss for words for a moment.

"I don't think so. After all, I think you are quite smart. You wouldn't be friends with a fool."

"Hahaha…"

Subaru didn't know what to say anymore. Perhaps these two people really were friends?

"Don't worry, I've checked your information. You're not a suspect. You just happened to run into the lieutenant and wanted to vent your anger."

She didn't look up, just filled out the information on the paper. "I'll take you away in a moment, but you must report your destination to the Colonial Security Bureau before leaving the colony."

"Um..." Subaru hesitated, "Second Lieutenant Amano, why are you helping me?"

"Because this is just a piece of cake for me," Amano Haruna raised her head with a calm expression. "As long as you have even the slightest suspicion, I won't get involved. I hate trouble."

"Come on, follow me. It's getting dark, and the security here in Colony 13 is not very good."

When leaving Caius's base, Subaru, who had been to the police station for the first time, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll take you here. Remember not to take a private car."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Subaru quickly bowed to Haruna, "Then I'll go first..."

Just when Subaru was about to show some courtesy, a roar came from far away.

"This is...MS?!"

Amano Haruna was the first to react and quickly pressed the black-haired girl under her body.

The next moment, a red steel giant roared past.

The heat jet from the engine creates distorted "waves" in the air.

It smoothly slowed down in the air and landed at the Caius base not far away.

"My Mark Rabbit!" Amano Haruna instantly understood the purpose of the red MS and ran towards the base.

The only two remaining Mark Rabbits are now lying on a special trailer, and one of them has not yet had the mud on its surface cleaned.

Faced with this situation, Subaru's natural choice was... to run!

Just kidding, if MSs were fighting and a stone was accidentally kicked over, she, an ordinary high school student, wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Since there were no usable mobile suits, one of the two Mark Rabbits lost its pilot and was damaged, and the other one did not even have time to refuel.

A few anti-tank rocket launchers were hit by the red MS's outer wall repair materials, and the people and their equipment were stuck to the ground, unable to move at all. The weak firepower of the rifle alone could not threaten the MS.

With her familiarity with the terrain of Colony Satellite No. 13, Maya only took a short time to enter the colony satellite from the space port.

Jim, the riot cop from the Colonial Police Department, didn't even react.

The two flight pedals landed, and Miss Amano Haruna once again lost her own body.

“Damn Ave Mujica!”

…………

The operation to seize the Mark Rabbit went very smoothly. They even took away many parts without any mercy.

In the end, not a single Mark Rabbit was left for Caius.

However, when meeting the intelligence officer... Taoxiang, a small incident occurred.

Looking at the black-haired girl on the line, whose mouth was taped shut and could only make mumbling sounds, Maya's forehead was dotted with black lines. "MMK, I'll need your explanation after we get back to the battleship."

Miss An and Subaru, who were Gundam fans, made the same mistake again because they were too young. They found a high place that they thought was safe to watch the fun.

'I'm so stupid, really,'

"I just thought that the view there was good and the vegetation was blocking the view, so no one would notice me. I didn't realize that there were bad guys hiding there..."

(╥﹏╥)

Chapter 13: The Crying Girl and the Survivors of Time

"Girl, girl, if you can hear me, please come to me. Something tragic has happened..."

“…Shaya again?”

Rencai frowned and took several deep breaths before she recovered. "This guy is really haunting me!"

"What's wrong, Niina?" Natasha floated into the hangar and, using her magnetic shoes, stopped in front of the floating girl. "Is that the one who calls herself Xia looking for you?"

"Colonel Natasha," Rencai quickly hooked his foot onto the handrail to gain leverage, rubbing his brow and saying, "That guy keeps haunting me. I told you I wouldn't go."

Although the girl said this, the confusion on her face was obvious and anyone could understand.

"She told me something tragic had happened, but I didn't feel any sadness from her..."

"Uh…"

After Jinna finished speaking, she realized that this idea of ​​being able to feel other people's thoughts from a distance was a bit strange... or even unbelievable.

"Do you want to go see her again?"

Natasha didn't find it strange, but directly pointed out her idea.

"...I do," after hesitating for a while, Renai nodded, "I have always regarded Xia as my idol, but she is... completely different from what I thought. I want to know if she is the real Xia.

I also want to understand why she acted like this.

If she is the real Xia Ya, what made her become what she is now?

I… would really like to know.”

"I also want to know what kind of person she is and whether she can bear the name Xia." Natasha patted the girl's shoulder. "Are you willing to wait a little longer? Captain Maya will be back soon."

"What does this have to do with Maya-san?" The girl asked in surprise, "This is my own business."

"Then why don't we just go there now instead of waiting for Captain Maya?" Natasha suggested. "Captain Maya always likes to abandon her companions and go on her own anyway, so let's give her a taste of what it feels like to be left behind."

"Uh…"

"Just kidding." Although he was joking, there was still no smile on the colonel's face. To be honest, it was quite scary.

But what the girl felt from her was a very relaxed feeling, as if she had accomplished something, or the big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Colonel Natasha, did something good happen to you? No!" The girl shook her head vigorously. "Why are you talking about us? Could it be that you..."

Looking at the man's pilot suit, Renai understood. "You're being so willful! Maya-san and everyone else will be worried."

The girl was always outspoken, saying whatever she thought.

Natasha only raised the corner of her mouth slightly in response to this, "I know why Captain Maya likes you so much."

"Like it?" Rencai subconsciously made a big cross on her chest. "I received a very traditional education, so I can't really accept this!"

The cold-faced colonel suddenly patted the girl's shoulders twice. The girl thought that maybe she couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Well, if Captain Maya is worried, then I won't go, if she's willing to go with you."

"You still haven't told me why Captain Maya wants to go with me?"

Natasha was silent for a moment, as if choosing her words. "Because no one is more qualified than her to evaluate the person who calls herself Xia Ya."

"Clam?"

Rencai was even more confused.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason, Renai. If you want to know, you can only ask Captain Maya yourself."

The girl didn't ask any more questions. She decided to ask Maya-san later.

…………

Maya, who was already approaching the Agama, suddenly sneezed and had a bad premonition.

"Land as soon as possible, those guys are getting very close, I have to prepare to attack again!"

As they entered the hangar, Maya said as gently as possible, "Student, we have no intention of offending you. We will send you back to the colony satellite after the battle is over."

"Hahaha…"

Subaru let out a hollow laugh, "Yes, I understand. I'll cooperate."

The previous time was fine, she was just watching others snatching the Gundam with the "troublemakers", but this time, she has directly boarded the "pirate ship" and she may not be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

Just as Subaru was lamenting the impermanence of life and the complexities of life, a person she had been worried about not long ago floated past the window of the flight platform.

"That idiot... is he also a reactionary?"
