The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Page 293

The bad woman Maya had a triumphant smile on her lips.

"If it weren't for Niina, I might still be working in a factory."

"I suddenly wanted to go back to District 11 to prepare for the exam,"

Maya knew that Rencai was complaining, so she cooperatively asked, "Huh? Why?"

"For the sake of the future, I won't go to work in a factory."

"Then Renai doesn't want to work in a factory. What kind of adult do you want to be in the future?"

"Hmm..." The girl thought seriously for a while, looking at the figure reflected on the full-circle screen, but she still couldn't come up with an answer.

"I do not know either…"

"Then why did you lock yourself in the cockpit, Renna?"

"because…"

Rencai was almost tricked by the evil woman and looked at her back angrily, "Maya-san, you plotted against me!"

"Ah, it's been exposed," the blond figure said in a voice without any emotion.

"Hey, Maya-san, what do you think? What do you think..."

Nina felt a little embarrassed when she was halfway through her words, and after a while she continued to ask:

"What kind of adult do you think I should be?"

As if afraid that Maya would have some subtle misunderstanding,

The girl quickly added, "My father hopes that I can study hard and become an educator."

"My mother probably hopes that I can marry a good man in the future."

"As for my sister, well, maybe she hopes I can be happy?"

The more she added, the more shy the girl became.

She really didn't want to give an example of an outsider, but since she was talking about family members, didn't it mean that in her heart, Maya was at least like 'family'?

"Anyway...anyway, Maya-san, what about you?"

"me?"

Maya thought carefully for a long time, and finally... came up with her own answer -

"I want Jinna... to always be Jinna, and not be anyone else,"

"There's no need to pretend to be a stranger in front of friends," she added in her mind, "and there's always a home to return to."

This... is the unfulfilled wish of a girl named Toyokawa Shoko, and it is also a thing of the past that can never be changed.

She sincerely hoped that this girl who was like the sun would not repeat her mistakes.

…………

"Xiao Xiang..."

On the other side of the hangar, Su Shi was in a complicated mood.

"If...if I were more perceptive..."

"This isn't Su Shi's fault," An retorted subconsciously, "This is..."

But if this is not Su Shi’s fault, then whose fault is it?

The answer is obvious, but An is reluctant to say it.

Some people, even though you know she did something wrong, you are not willing to blame her.

"Hey, let me tell you, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to eavesdrop on their conversation like this?"

Li Xi is now speechless to the point of being 100% or even 90% speechless.

Finding a short-range communication band and then receiving it unilaterally is not a difficult task for them from a technical perspective.

But from a 'moral' perspective, this kind of thing is indeed very delicate.

"We are doing this to protect Xiaoxiang!"

The clever An never lost himself in his inner thoughts. "I was just monitoring Garuda to see if there were any spies when I happened to receive a communication from Xiaoxiang and the others."

An spoke righteously, and it was obvious at first glance that he was an expert at telling lies.

Su Shi glanced at her with some disdain and said sternly, "Don't let Xiao Xiang find out!"

Hearing her say this, Li Xi, who had a momentary expectation that she would stop eavesdropping, was speechless and kept covering his forehead.

At this time, Garuda had passed through the narrow Suez Canal. Through the door of the hangar, it could be clearly felt that the sea surface had become much wider.

The water from the Mediterranean Sea merges with the water from the Red Sea in the bay. A large number of seagulls are circling on the sea surface below. From the air, they look like white ribbons floating in the wind.

The patrolling troops found no enemy and most of the aircraft were ready.

Next,

A funeral is about to be held on the Garuda...

Chapter 92: Chuhua...I'm sorry

A funeral is a ceremony where the living say farewell to the dead.

But such farewells were too frequent for young Rencai.

In the past twenty days, she has attended three funerals, which can only be considered as farewell ceremonies.

In the center of the Garuda hangar, on a military green supply box, were three black and white photos.

There are no frames to hold their portraits, no coffins to hold their bodies.

Because they came to Earth in a hurry, they didn't even leave behind any relics that belonged to them.

After the eulogy was read, everyone saluted their deceased comrades. The huge hangar was solemn and dignified.

Some mechanical sounds that are not obvious on weekdays, the hissing sound of compressed air leaking slightly,

At this moment, it was like a wave, flooding the entire hangar.

For those who have passed away, time has been frozen on the battlefield, but those who are still alive must continue to move forward.

No matter what their mood is.

As veterans who have been driving 'traditional' MS, it is actually very frustrating.

Even though their overall technology was superior to the enemy's, and they had a slight advantage in numbers,

But in a gravity environment, the transformable MS can suppress you and you can't even catch up.

They have seen all kinds of storms, but in the end... they died because of technological innovation.

"Chu Hua, from a purely technical perspective, how long would it take to imitate Yashima?"

As soon as the memorial service was over, Maya talked to Chuhua about this matter. Although she already knew the general answer, she felt uneasy if she didn't ask something.

The limitations of "antique machines" are still too great. Not only are they less reliable, but the time required to repair them is more than twice that of a new machine of the same model.

Taking into account the high failure rate, its combat effectiveness is less than 1/3 of that of a new aircraft. Every time you drive it, you are gambling on whether it is strong enough.

"If Caius is willing to transfer technology and production lines, it would be fine, but that's impossible."

Chu Hua knew that Maya was just seeking psychological comfort, but she still explained seriously:

“Even if there are no technical problems, producing a whole set of parts with new specifications from scratch, regardless of cost, would take several months under ideal conditions.

As for Caius's 'Bayalan', it won't be long before it can be put into actual combat testing."

"Does serving in the military mean falling behind..."

If Maya could smoke, she would have already lit up a cigarette.

"Please, Chuhua,"

Although I know that my request is very willful, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shameless.

But in this regard, the only one Maya can rely on is Chuhua.

"We desperately need the power of Gundam right now..."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, and she didn't know how to say it.

Because this is just like driving Chuhua away,

If...if Cosi was still here, then Baialan wouldn't be a concern at all...

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang. I really shouldn't have been so willful."

Seeing Xiaoxiang's distress, Chuhua subconsciously apologized.

"Chuhua, why are you apologizing?" Maya said with a wry smile, "I know this information. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for not coming up with a more perfect combat method."

"Xiaoxiang, you have done very well,"

Chu Hua looked at Maya seriously. "In the atmosphere, using mobile suits to fight a similar number of TM-As and successfully repelling them is already quite impressive!"

(PS: TM-A, a transformable MS with MA form as its main combat form)

"That's thanks to everyone who risked their lives, and also to Niina."

"I'm really worried about Chuhua's future children."

Maya pretended to be worried.

"Eh? Why?"

"Because Chuhua looks like a mother who would spoil her children."

"No," Chu Hua said firmly, "If I had a child, I would probably be very strict with her (him)."

"Because I want to spoil..." Chu Hua added the second half of the sentence in his mind, "Only you, Xiaoxiang."

Maya forced a smile and did not comment on Chuhua's words.

Often, people who are in trouble don’t realize the seriousness of the situation.

If Maya had the ability to read minds, she would never dare to say such jokes to Chuhua again.

"Xiaoxiang,"

Chu Hua suddenly looked seriously at the girl who dyed her aqua blue hair into gold.

"I will do everything I can to deliver the Z Gundam No. 1 intact within a month... no, within 20 days. Before that, I hope you can temporarily postpone your attack on Caius Headquarters."

To increase the persuasiveness of his words, Chu Hua continued to analyze: "Time is on our side. Caius's Psycho Gundam is far behind the Z Gundam due to its lack of experience in designing and manufacturing biosensors.

Within 20 days, with such high mental strength, you won't even be able to fight in real combat!"

That’s right, Chuhua was scared.

Her driving skills are very strong, but if she only drives a MS like Rikdias, she will be very powerless when facing new MS.

Although it is very unwilling, the Z Gundam, which has been adjusted for Jinna and adopts the Psycho system, does have the potential to overturn the situation of the war.

If there was a Z Gundam, Chuhua would feel a little more at ease.

"I see…"

Maya thought about it and based on objective facts, Wuci's current strength, especially on Earth, was overwhelmingly inferior to Caius.

With more time, she can try to recruit more people and also give everyone who is exhausted physically and mentally after a series of battles a break.

more importantly,

she believes,

Believing in the possibilities of Niina,

And she firmly believes that it will be young people like her who will create the new era.

"Chuhua, thank you..."

There is actually very little that Maya can give to Chuhua now.

What the future may offer is also full of uncertainties.

If we look at it from the principle of equal exchange, Chuhua would have lost a lot of money to Lao Lao long ago.
