The shining Shoko Toyokawa

But Rencai did feel that she was a little narrow-minded. This was not an objective judgment, but a natural "feeling".

"Mr. Carter?"

Jinna cast a questioning look at the young guard.

Carter explained helplessly: "The hatch can't be opened casually, and it's also very dangerous to take off from here."

There were some other things that Carter didn't say. There were all kinds of people coming to Garuda today, and who knew if there were any spies.

"I understand. Let me accompany this pilot around. After all, rules are important."

After greeting Kart, Renai turned to look at the girl beside her. Coincidentally, the girl was looking at her with a hint of curiosity in her amber eyes.

"Akane, there's no last name, that's my first name, what about you?"

"Jing Qin Rencai," the girl subconsciously gave her name, "Miss Qian, you can't open the door now, but I can take you somewhere else."

Although she could only see a pair of eyes, Renai felt that she really didn't look like a "local".

"OK,"

Akane readily agreed and stood next to Renai, as if waiting for her to lead the way.

Renai approached Kart and said something to him, then left with Akane.

She was about the same height as Renna, and probably not much older. She seemed to have completely forgotten about going out, and followed Renna, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

Renai didn't ask why she knew he was a pilot, because the pilot's uniform was indeed different from the uniforms worn by other people.

But she didn't ask why Renai knew that, since she was a pilot, it was a little strange.

Most of the 'guests' who came today were dressed similarly to her. After all, it wasn't warm on this simple plane.

Renna, who wasn't there when they landed, found it a little 'weird' to know that she was a pilot.

But in the girl's opinion, it didn't seem like that.

"Miss Qian, why don't you go with them to the reception room?"

"I'm not very familiar with them. I was just introduced by someone else and was temporarily flying the plane. In other words, I was like a designated driver."

Akane answered Nina's doubts.

"That's it,"

Rencai didn't comment, but she was still a little cautious.

None of the 'guests' who came today were easy to deal with. It was quite strange that they would find a 'designated driver'.

But considering the difficulty of approaching and landing Garuda in the wake turbulence, this seems to be somewhat reasonable.

After all, flying is not something that can be done in a perfunctory manner. If you are not careful, the plane may crash and everyone may die.

"Nina, you're actually a new human, right?"

"Ugh?"

It was nothing for Renna, who was thinking, to be suddenly called by her name, but the conclusion that Akane came to was really incredible.

You know, they only met for five minutes, and they didn't show any new human "superpowers".

In this situation, she suddenly determined that another person was a new human, unless she had already received intelligence.

Otherwise, there is only one possibility——

She is also a new human, and a very perceptive one at that.

"Hey, can you let me pilot a mobile suit? I've always wanted to try it."

"..."

Rencai was stunned. It was the first time she met such a quirky person.

But she also felt that Qian didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and seemed to be just simply curious?

"I can't pilot a mobile suit, but I can pilot a simulator. Do you want to try it?"

"That's great," Akane happily hugged Nina's arm.

This made Renai even more convinced that she was no longer a "local".

People who grew up in constant turmoil and under the constraints of religious etiquette are unlikely to be so...'lively'.

If she really didn't mean any harm, Rencai would have probably already called someone over.

There are several simulation cabins in the gym near Garuda's living area.

Rencai, who was 'skipping classes', originally wanted to find someone she knew to watch Akane play, and then she would go back and watch the adults play.

But Qian was as clingy as a child, so she had no choice but to teach him herself.

"This is forward, this is backward, left and right are like this and like this..."

But Rencai really has no talent for teaching. It's like some top students don't understand poor students. They can't solve problems that can be easily solved by substituting formulas into the formula.

If she were to teach ordinary people how to drive a MS, there would be no chance. Someone who is born to run cannot teach others to walk.

But Qian is not an ordinary person. She can do simple operations completely after Rencai taught her once.

Rencai didn't have any special feelings about this.

Because when she first learned to open MS, it was almost the same.

"Okay, now you've learned how to drive. Now try to defeat the AI."

Under Rencai's guidance, he opened the AI ​​battle, selected the map, and started the simulated battle.

She chose a classic small town map. This map was less than 1 kilometer long and wide, and there were no decent bunkers or shelters.

In such a map, there is no room for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, which is purely a test for novice operators.

"Watch me finish it off!"

Perhaps because she was a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, Qian excitedly controlled the simulated Jim 2 to kill at full speed, the refreshed AI,

"If you keep running around like this, you'll get killed!"

Although Renna often rushed around, she was confident enough to avoid being shot.

But can someone who has just learned how to operate MS really do this?

The answer is yes!

Not only that, it’s as easy as drinking water.

Akane dodged the AI's shots three times in a row and easily defeated it with just her beam saber.

It was only then that Nina felt surprised. This was something she couldn't do when she first piloted a MS.

"How about you try two AIs?"

Rencai's curiosity was piqued.

"Okay, I'll try,"

Qian adjusted the number of AI to two. Still on the same map, less than 1 km away, the two MSs immediately opened fire on Qian.

Many people can maintain a record of winning every battle in a one-on-one confrontation with AI, but if they can guarantee consecutive wins against two AIs at the same time, they are already an intermediate or advanced player.

This is like a boxing match where one person fights two boxers of the same weight class at the same time.

The difficulty is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Even in a one-on-one, round-robin confrontation, a "boxer" who can knock down five people in a row may not be able to fight two people at the same time.

At the beginning, Qian Bao was indeed shot by two AIs and chased around.

However, this situation was instantly reversed after she used the beam rifle. While dodging the AI's shooting, two AIs were blown up one after another by Qian, turning into fireballs on the simulated full-circle screen.

"Ms. Qian, is this really your first time using the simulation cabin?"

Renai was in disbelief at the result.

"Come again!"

Akane was so excited that she didn't even hear what Nina said. She just selected 5 AIs.

On such a small map, the Jim 2, which has no performance advantage and mediocre indicators, is fighting against an "enemy" that is five times its size.

Qian naturally faced failure. She only persisted for a moment, and on the full-circle simulation screen, only the flames of the explosion remained.

This is the natural ending. MS simulation battle is not a mowing game.

It is incredible that he can hold out for a while against five AIs.

But Qian seemed to have received a huge blow, or encountered something horrible, and her body was shaking non-stop.

"Miss Qian, Miss Qian!"

Renai noticed something was wrong and quickly shook her shoulders.

Qian finally came to her senses, gasping for breath like a drowning person.

After a long time, she murmured to herself: "What on earth is wrong with me?"

"Anyway, let's get out of here!"

Rencai helped her leave the simulation cabin, with more and more doubts in her heart.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that this is definitely not the first time that 'Miss Akane' has piloted a mobile suit.

But she really seemed to have forgotten that she could pilot a mobile suit...

Considering the situation of Miss Wakaba, the childhood friend of Maya-san... or rather the symptoms,

Renai seriously suspected that this 'Miss Akane' might have lost her memory.

The reason for her amnesia is naturally related to MS or war.

Such examples are not uncommon in unified wars.

Especially the American part, the leader of the anti-unification army, which uses a lot of "special drugs".

The incidence of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and mental illness remains high.

Rencai didn't believe, or didn't want to believe, that someone would send such a mentally fragile person to be a spy.

"I'll take you to the infirmary first..."

"No! I don't want to see a doctor!" Before Jinna finished speaking, she was strongly opposed by Akane.

"Okay, okay, I won't go. I won't go."

Rencai quickly comforted her.

"Jingqin, Jingqin, can you hear me? The patrol team will be back soon."

Just when Rencai didn't know what to do, a young male voice came from the headset.

The nickname George gave Rencai, "Little One," failed to spread on the Garuda, and most people just called Rencai "Classmate Jingqin."

As a 'high school student on the run', Nina herself had no objection to this title.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hearing his words, Rencai, who was originally at a loss as to what to do, suddenly had a goal.

"Hey, Miss Qian, do you think it's cramped here?"

Before Akane could answer, Renai saw the answer in her eyes.

"In that case, follow me!"

Renai didn't say anything else, but took Akane's hand and walked quickly towards the hangar.

Since the 'rules' cannot be easily broken, just wait.

Waiting for what you expect to come——

When Renai dragged the bewildered girl into the hangar,

The tail compartment behind the hangar was opening. Since the air pressure outside was lower than that inside the hangar, the air rushing out of the hangar formed a light breeze.

The wind pushed the two young girls forward into the bright sunshine.

The blue sky and the sea occupied an increasingly larger proportion in their vision.

Amid the roar of flight pedals, two mobile suits returning from reconnaissance entered the hangar one after another, and the two who replaced them set off immediately.

The heat wave from the wake swept over them, and the two people on the hangar walkway seemed to have suddenly traveled to the summer in the Sahara Desert.
