The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Xiangzi took two deep breaths, stopped thinking about the troubles of the Fengchuan family, and concentrated on listening to the answer from Miss AI.

The AI ​​projected a map of Area 11 on the screen and marked the end point.

Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, Japan's Mysterious Suicide 'Sacred Site'

…………

At this moment, in a corner of the park, a gray-haired girl watched Cosey disappear into the clouds like a retrograde meteor.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes, but her surprise was not because of the Gundam flying into the air,

But -

"The Gundam pilot is Xiangzi?!"

I couldn't sleep at night, so I looked at the stars on the balcony. I was attracted by the Koshi that landed near my home, and I felt that I must be dreaming.

If this is a dream, she hopes that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day thereafter, she will have such a dream.

Dreaming of the person who first illuminated her life——

The wolf pack

Chapter 3: Corpse

West of Mount Fuji, Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees,

Xiangzi opened his eyes and what came into view was the darkened full-circle screen.

Last night, due to the fatigue accumulated over a long period of time, she fell asleep as soon as she decided on a hiding place.

She took out the 21st century's latest external organ, the Smartphone... that is, the smart phone, and wanted to check the time.

But I found that it couldn't be turned on at all.

Last night she thought there was no power, but she was so eager to watch Gundam that she didn't pay much attention to it. But now it seems that this is not the case.

"Good afternoon, Commander Toyokawa. Are you worried about your damaged phone? The remaining Minovsky particles have dissipated, and this phone can now provide communication and internet services."

"Wait, my phone won't break because of Minovsky particles, right?"

Xiangzi, who had less than 2000 yen in her pocket, was a little desperate. The money to buy a mobile phone was a huge sum of money for her now.

"Precision electronic equipment without electromagnetic protection will be damaged if exposed to a certain concentration of Minovsky particles."

Xiangzi's heart finally died.

She rubbed her temples and said, "Please call..."

Xiangzi suddenly fell silent. Did she need to call her bastard dad?

That bastard dad who only thinks about himself is now even drunk and it’s unclear whether he’s sober or not. He probably didn’t even notice that his daughter didn’t come home yesterday.

Finally she gave the number of the place where she worked in the morning.

As expected, as soon as I revealed my identity, I was lectured.

He accused her of betraying his trust, even though he had made an exception and hired her as a worker...

When Xiangzi thought about having to make several more calls like this, he felt terrible.

Except for quitting CRYCHIC, she always did everything well.

No one except Li Xi has ever accused her like this.

Stroking the ball joystick, Xiangzi suddenly had a bold idea, "How much is Cauchy worth?"

"Based on the information currently in the database, it's impossible to make an accurate judgment. Commander Toyokawa, do you approve this machine connecting to the network and collecting data?"

"Uh..." Xiangzi said with a guilty conscience, "Before that, I need to ask which organization or individual Cosey belongs to."

"This machine belongs to Toyokawa Shoko, that is, you, the commander-in-chief."

"Um, Ms. AI, I was feeling weird yesterday. Why are you calling me Commander-in-Chief? Is that some weird nickname?"

Xiangzi doesn't remember being the commander-in-chief. She was just the default captain of CRYCHIC.

"There's no detailed information on this machine, but it's programmed so I have to address you as Commander-in-Chief."

"So, you came to see me last night?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief Toyokawa,"

"This is so strange..."

Xiangzi was so absorbed in his thinking that his bad habits that he had already changed came out.

Unlike modern aircraft that need rotors or wings to fly,

The handsome body of the Cauchy Gundam brings a huge aerodynamic shape with huge resistance. It stands to reason that such a body is impossible to fly.

Even if it is powerful enough to fly, it should become a Brownian motion machine and cannot control the direction of flight at all.

However, according to the value Xiangzi saw yesterday, Cauchy's flying speed was actually over 2000 kilometers per hour.

This is almost the same as the maximum flight speed of the fifth-generation fighter jets such as the F22.

That Minovsky aircraft is really amazing.

Cauchy is such a machine that transcends time and seems to be a creation from another world.

Xiangzi estimated that it was definitely more valuable to the world than a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

If that country can crack some of the Cauchy manufacturing techniques, technology will surely usher in explosive progress.

Maybe it will even trigger a world war...

As a poor guy, I suddenly got such an incredible war weapon.

Xiangzi felt a little scared, but more excited.

"I...maybe I can change the world..."

The Toyokawa lady who grew up in a greenhouse before, did not really notice one thing——

This world is actually quite messed up.

Strong countries invade weak countries and wantonly ignite wars on foreign soil.

Some countries, relying on America's support, behave in anthropomorphic ways.

In the past, Toyokawa Shoko could not do anything. Just to maintain her pitiful self-esteem, she had already tried her best.

But now, maybe she can do something.

In fact, Xiangzi is a person who wants to shine and be noticed by others, otherwise he would not have formed a band.

"I've decided. I want to..."

"Gulu,"

The growling of his stomach interrupted Xiangzi's ambition.

It seems that before she can change the world, she has to find a way to fill her stomach.

…………

It was obviously unrealistic to find something to eat in the forest. Xiangzi turned around a few times but didn't find anything to eat. He even tripped over something in the snow.

She subconsciously looked back, and in the half-melted snow, a frozen hand emerged from the snow.

Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, the suicide sanctuary of District 11, where hundreds of people have ended their lives.

Seeing corpses here seems to be a very normal thing.

"There's no sign of decay, and no strange smell. I must have just been here..."

Xiangzi originally thought that she would be frightened and turn around to run away, but she analyzed the situation of the body in her mind. She dug away all the snow,

It took a lot of effort to turn the body over.

The dead man's face was hideous, but at least his eyes were not wide open.

So even though Xiangzi was shaking with fear, he was still able to maintain his composure.

The deceased was a woman, similar in size and age to Xiangzi.

Although he had blonde hair, his face, covered in ice and snow, looked very much like Xiangzi.

Xiangzi shuddered. Resembling a dead person was not a good thing.

"But perhaps I can use it a little..."

"I'm sorry," she said, clasping her hands together in prayer. "May you attain enlightenment soon."

"Also, if you're offended..."

Xiangzi took several deep breaths.

"What's so scary about that? Even if it's scary, there won't be any complaints. But not having food to eat is scary..."

After she had prepared herself mentally, she began to search the deceased's body to see if there was anything that could prove his identity.

Perhaps because he looked like her, Xiangzi always felt that he had a natural closeness to her, just like many people are not afraid of the corpses of their relatives.

She still had her wallet with 400,000 yen, several cards, a few US dollars, and her passport.

When Xiangzi opened her passport and saw the photo, he was stunned.

Someone said that there are 2 people in the world that you will fall in love with at first sight.

Some people also say that there are seven people in the world who look exactly the same.

This woman was different from Xiangzi only in her ocean-blue eyes and blonde hair.

The rest of his facial features and expressions are 99% similar to Xiangzi.

A brief introduction...

Name: Xia Isabella

Nationality: English

Date of Birth: November 17, 2005

Gender: Female (tentative)

Birthplace: London

…………

"I'm beginning to doubt whether you are my mother's illegitimate daughter."

Xiangzi only inherited his mother's appearance.

"If so, should I call you...sister?

Also, was it the Toyokawa family who killed you?"

There are as many questions as the leaves in this sea of ​​trees.

Xiangzi originally planned to call the police after Kexi left, but the face that looked exactly like hers made her give up the idea.

No one would deliberately run from Daiying to Area 11 to commit suicide, right?

The turmoil in the Toyokawa family half a year ago made Xiangzi more certain of this speculation.

"Why does this keep happening? Brothers fighting against each other, is it really because of that damned adult?"

Naturally, in this cold and lonely sea of ​​trees, no one answered Xiangzi.

There was a note in Xia Ya's passport with a sentence written on it: Never compromise with violence and tell everyone the truth.

Perhaps, it was precisely because she was such a person that she died in such a place where no one cared about her...

She struggled to hide Ms. Xia Ya's body, put away her passport and the note, and ran towards Kesi.

"Kesi, connect to the internet and help me investigate the Toyokawa family and Xia Isabella!"

She already had the answer in her mind, "I will correct those hateful adults!"

Chapter 4: Can you lend me some money?

"Ms. Fengchuan, you must not be so depressed! You are so beautiful and charming, and you will have a wonderful life in the future!"

"Yes, big sister, you must not die. Erli's sister has never had any friends since she was a child. She always locks herself in the closet, but she is still strong and alive!"
