The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Only Miao Meng, who was present, knew that around Valentine's Day on February 14th of each year,

The legendary captain Naomi Aozora and a mercenary named An will come to the statue and offer a bouquet of white lilies to commemorate their comrades.

If Maya is Xia Ya, An's friend, then Meow Meng will definitely tell her what kind of person Flora is.

But unfortunately, she is not.

So, telling Flora's story is meaningless...

…………

……

The 'settlement' arranged by the Federation for the group was only a kilometer away from Flora's statue.

To call it a place of rest is indeed a bit of an understatement. It might be more accurate to call it a manor.

It is much larger than most villas, with an artificial lake and a large lawn the size of a football field. Away from the "castle", there is a spacious white stable.

Two brown horses were wagging their tails and eating the carefully proportioned grass in the trough, as if the spring rain outside had nothing to do with them.

This scene may not be uncommon on Earth, but in space, where every inch of land is valuable,

Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to come and visit Aurora. What kind of person can own such a residence?

"The owner has said hello. You are all free to use the facilities in the manor. With that, I will take my leave."

"Thank you for troubling me today, Lieutenant Li,"

Maya didn't ask her who was the owner of this place.

The person who could be sent to pick them up must have said everything that needed to be said.

She would not reveal a single word that she shouldn't say.

"I feel a little angry,"

After Lieutenant Li left, Rencai looked around the living room and frowned. "When I think about someone like Maya-san, who works 11 hours a day and has to live in a pigeon coop, it makes me even angrier!"

As a "working warrior", Maya felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

"Well, big shots need pomp and ceremony, right?"

Ang tried to smooth things over, fearing that Rencai would say something offensive again.

They certainly didn't come here for vacation... Well, although arranging them here is no different from letting them go on vacation,

But Maya does have a hard time doing it—

Gain support from the bigwigs.

Although the Thornless Fleet was temporarily safe after being anchored at the Earth-Moon L1 Lagrange Point,

But the bigwigs are turning a deaf ear to this. Due to the lack of spare parts and equipment, even the repair work of the battleship is difficult to carry out.

Obviously, this is to come to Wuci's door to pay tribute.

"Please sit down first," Maya took the lead and walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

The layout of the castle is similar to that of the Toyokawa family's residence.

Maya had no interest in visiting everywhere, and the same was true for Nina and Xiaozhi.

"I really should have hidden a camera!"

Miao Meng regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh.

"Captain Maya, come and take a look! If this painting is authentic, it would be worth at least one million dollars in the old days, right?!"

“This pot seems to be from the Northern Song Dynasty!”

Subaru's spirits were equally high. Anyone who could understand this would probably be in high spirits upon entering this 'castle'.

Rare antiques and famous paintings are free of charge here.

Maybe...Maya should be excluded,

If she wanted to, even if she couldn't become the richest person in the world seven years ago, she could still become a big shot.

But these only made her feel bored.

Compared to the two people's useless appearance, the angry Rencai was more interesting.

"Rinna, we can't expect everyone to be a hero. Most people yearn for a better life. This is human nature."

"Maya-san, do you think it's okay for everyone to be like this?"

Jinna turned her gaze towards the two enthusiastic people.

"There's nothing we can do about it,"

Maya's answer is not that it is good.

But isn't this the reality? Perhaps the owner of this manor was once an honest and upright person.

But when people walk on the road, they will always be contaminated by the dust unconsciously.

No matter how white your clothes are, they will get dirty after being worn for a long time.

and so…

There is no way around it.

At least she is powerless to change it now.

After hearing her say that, Rencai was upset for a while.

There was a girl who often told her: This is something that cannot be changed by a student like you.

Although Nina has not given up until now, but just as she said, judging from the results,

She...couldn't change anything.

This is natural, let alone a fight.

It is not uncommon to hear news reports of bullied people getting angry and slashing their bullies with dozens of knives.

But bullying will not decrease.

Perhaps... humans are a species that cannot survive without dominating others and establishing their own superior status...

…………

……

"Nina!"

On the other side of the universe, the pink-haired girl on the hospital bed suddenly opened her eyes and tried to get up, but was pulled back to the bed by the restraints.

"Hina,"

A gentle hand patted her cheek,

"How much is this?"

Then he made a 2 in front of her eyes,

"Major Isabella, what's going on?"

Seeing that she recognized her, Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Your machine was in the hangar and was affected by the explosion. Fortunately, you were flying the Marase instead of the Gozaku, so you survived."

"Hangar explosion?"

Hina was a little bit incredulous. "Didn't they say there was only a small group of MS troops lying in ambush near the wreckage? The Britannic was clearly far away!"

"Thornless has acquired a type of mobile suit with ultra-long-range cannons. I hope the next fleet commander will learn from this lesson and deploy all the mobile suits instead of keeping them around as trump cards."

There is a lot of information in Major Isabella's words.

Because she had just woken up, her head was a little confused, and it took a while for Yang Cai to react.

Lieutenant General Douglas is probably dead.

Chapter 63: My President Father

"Are you going to take me to meet a new 'stepmother' again this time?"

At 4 pm, the rain gradually stopped.

A car belonging to the federal government drove on the slippery road after the rain, passing the "bridge" connecting the two lands and heading towards the Flora statue.

The girl looked at the scene outside the car window gloomily,

The long hem of her white dress was lifted up and placed on her red knees. Her black hair was carefully braided, as if to hold a crown.

"Do you think I really like those women? I'm not a pervert, Aoi-ya."

Cage Michelle's voice is tired,

"If you don't fight for the power behind those women and someone else snatches it away, it will become a threat to us. Aoi, you have to understand this."

"So I have to win over others too?"

The black-haired girl scoffed at her father's words and made a conclusion before he could answer.

"Who is the person you want me to meet this time? Is it the son of the general again?"

"Or a rich man's daughter?"

"Let me be frank. If it's truly too irritating, I can't guarantee I'll be able to remain friendly."

"Don't make it sound like I'm constantly forcing you to meet people you hate."

Cage sighed.

"The Thornless have come to Aurora, and Caius is a bit disobedient. We can take this opportunity to teach them a lesson..."

Knowing that his daughter was not interested, he did not mention these "details" any more.

Instead, he got straight to the point and said, "Maya the Thornless is the person we are going to meet now. If you are not interested, I can arrange a car to take you home."

"Captain Maya?"

The girl's voice immediately rose a beat, "Sure enough, my feeling this morning was right!"

"You are not a new human, how can you feel anything?"

Cage poured cold water on his daughter. "The New Humanity Research Institute has already politely told you not to go there if you have nothing to do."

"If you have that much time, you might as well spend it on your studies and socializing."

Seeing her father transformed into a nanny again, Kuisi sighed in her heart.

She...really felt it...

…………

……

"Everyone, my master and eldest daughter invite you to dinner. Please follow me."

Under the guidance of a female butler, Maya and her group came to the magnificent 'restaurant'.

Sitting in the main seat was a brown-haired man about 50 years old. He was a little overweight and had a very friendly smile.

Seeing several people coming, he quickly stood up to greet them and asked them to sit down.

"Captain Maya, thank you for your hard work along the way. I was busy with official duties and was unable to entertain you all right away. Please forgive me!"

Seeing that person, the girls were extremely surprised. Although they sat down subconsciously, they didn't know where to put their hands for a moment.

As long as people are not out of touch with the times, most of them know him.

The current Vice President of the Earth Federation, Cage Mitchell.

"Hello, Mr. Cage,"

Maya smiled politely, "Ms. Aoi, you are even more beautiful than in the photo."

Aoi Ya smiled sweetly and joked, "I won't let that photographer take pictures of me anymore. He actually made me look ugly."

"Hey, hey, hey, let me take the photo, Xiao Kuiya!"

Miao Meng can get along well with everyone.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Meow Dream dear,"

Aoi Ya seems to be an expert as well, and is acquainted with Miao Meng?
