The shining Shoko Toyokawa

It was natural that this exotic blonde girl didn't know Li Xi's sister.

But it was this naturalness that made Lixi feel relaxed.

"Riki, Shiina Riki,"

Although there was still no smile on her face, the eyes of the black-haired girl were less wary.

"I used to be in a band with Xiangzi for a while,"

"Thank you for your care, Xiangzi,"

Li Xi felt that there was always a subtle sense of distance between this blonde girl and her sister Toyokawa Shoko.

'That's natural, given their complex situation.'

"Support arrived quickly,"

"Ugh?"

Because Xia Ya's topic changed so quickly, Li Xi didn't react for a while.

"Although I came here blindfolded, this place should be more than ten kilometers away from where Aine was attacked, right?"

Why did she jump to such a sensitive topic, especially one related to MS?

As expected, I don't want to talk too much. Is there anything about my sister?

Li Xi felt that he understood.

…………

"Find a way to get Xia Ya in," just before Riki came to the reception room, Naomi Misora ​​specifically found her.

"Why?" Li Xi didn't think much about letting Aiyin's friends get involved in this mess.

"She was willing to sacrifice her life for a noble cause,"

Misora ​​Naomi put out the cigarette she lit subconsciously and said, "He was also very brave. He defeated five terrorists on the plane by himself.

This time, facing a fully armed guy who had killed and injured many people, he dared to pick up a gun and fight back.

Such a person cannot be allowed to join Ave Mujica.

Besides, I'm friends with Chihaya-san, so after training, it would be perfect for me to protect you."

…………

Naomi Misora ​​gave a very good reason, which was too much for her style.

In order to win over Xia Ya, Li Xi thought he could reveal some information to her.

"From the time Aine was attacked to the time Ms. Shiina Riki arrived at the scene, less than a minute had passed. This was incredibly fast.

And it seems like those armed men knew in advance that you had already set off, so they gave up on holding Aine hostage..."

…………

"Speak your mind without hiding your shortcomings..."

In a hidden room, the computer in front of Naomi Misora ​​was playing the scene in the reception room.

"This is indeed the style of that girl named Xia Ya.

But are you...really Xia Ya?"

…………

"Have I been exposed? Should I try to escape?"

'No,'

Xia Ya took a deep breath.

'Miss Misora'

"Shaya Isabella,"

"What exactly is your purpose?"

"What on earth will you do?"

Chapter 58: Yes, I’m Scared

"Aine, how is Mr. Al?"

As soon as Aiyin entered the ward, Sushi asked her how the clerk who drove the jeep to pick her up was doing.

"Now I'm awake for the time being,"

Aine sat down with a melancholy look on her face. "Hey, Soyo-san, because of my rash actions, not only did you get hurt, but others as well..."

"Like an idiot," Su Shi sharply commented on Aine's frustration and self-blame. "If you think about it carefully, you'll understand. Aren't you surprised that Riki arrived so promptly?"

Aine frowned and didn't say her guess.

But Su Shi didn't have so many concerns.

"Luring the snake out of its hole, if you think about it carefully you will know why I let you out so easily."

"How can this be..." Aiyin couldn't accept it.

"Maybe Miss Misora ​​Naomi kept calling us classmates, which made you feel like you were still a student."

Sushi turned to stare at the potion dripping from the IV tube. "This is what it means to be a mobile suit pilot. What will be the end of a 'war weapon'?"

Aiyin thought of the two rusty tanks in the park.

According to the sign next to the tanks, they have participated in great wars and created miracles more than once.

Then, covered with scars, they rusted alone in the open air park...

This... is probably the end of weapons of war.

"As long as we continue to pilot mobile suits, we will encounter such things. To the adults, we are not human beings, but parts of war machines."

"Why can Su Shi accept this kind of thing calmly?"

In Aine's eyes, the flaxen-haired girl was reflected. She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, and her face was pale, as if she would disappear at any moment.

"The world of adults is like this. Even if they share the same blood, they can fight to the death for a little benefit.

Shouting about justice, freedom, love and other things can justify all actions.

In this world, everyone only thinks about themselves.

Everything in this world has a price tag, and everyone is just trying to increase their own price tag."

"..."

Aine was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Soyo-san, do you want me to stop piloting a mobile suit?"

The flaxen-haired girl had her blue eyes slightly drooped, as if she was asleep.

After a long time, she exhaled the air that was pent up in her chest.

"Yes, I am afraid,"

There was also a voice so faint it seemed like an illusion, "When I heard the gunshots, I regretted not trying to persuade you. After that, I didn't think about anything else..."

I, too, am like an idiot..."

"..."

This time, Aine was silent for a longer time.

Then he opened his lips and said, "Hey, Soyo-san, let's go back after we finish the Armenian affairs.

It seems that playing in a band is very popular in Haneda. I originally thought about joining a band.

Me, Soyo, Xiaodeng, Lixi and Lenai will form a band together."

"The band,"

Su Shi smiled nostalgically, "I'll probably never forget my old band. If Anon-chan thinks it's okay, then let's form a band. It's our...our band."

"Great! See you later then."

“By the way,” Aine walked to the door, stopped and said, “Soyo-san, iove!”

After saying that, the pink-haired girl strode forward, like a soldier about to step onto the battlefield.

"Have a nice trip," Su Shi smiled gently, "Liar..."

………………

……

Aine pushed open the door to Naomi Misora's office. The room was filled with more than a dozen people. It felt like an elementary school student standing in the homeroom teacher's office.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Many people didn't know why they were notified.

These people include maintenance personnel, agents, and three MS pilots.

The common point is that none of them are Armenian.

"Okay, everyone is here," Naomi Misora ​​unplugged the computer's network cable and turned on a small signal jammer.

"Let me introduce you first. This is our new operator."

"Xia..."

Aiyin had a complicated expression, but she still clapped along with everyone else to welcome her new 'colleague'.

"My name is Xia Isabella, and I'm a freelance journalist."

Since most of the people present were native English speakers, and Xia Ya's native English was also English, she introduced herself in English.

After everyone applauded and welcomed the new operator, Naomi Misora ​​got down to business.

“Just a few hours ago, our driver was attacked. The Armenian military said the attacker was a terrorist [Khaidija],

What do you think about this matter? "

"I think we need to reassess the risks of staying in Menia," a maintenance worker quickly replied, "at least we should try to get the beam rifle delivered."

Aiyin, Lixi and Lenai gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.

"We believe we should evacuate immediately,"

The agents discussed it and came up with a more radical opinion: "The situation in Armenia is not only threatened from the outside, but also chaotic from the inside.

The radical faction in the military, represented by Major Yelevan, could not accept the withdrawal of troops after winning the battle. They had the support of the majority of the people.

The conservatives, led by the president, believe that Armenia's military strength can only maintain its presence in the Kana region, and victory can be used to exchange for favorable conditions.

The conflict between these two factions was already acute when Armenia was defeated four years ago.

At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if it could evolve into an armed coup at any time.

Furthermore, the radical faction controls more mobile suits, so if a positive change were to occur, the situation would be completely one-sided."

“Why is it so one-sided?”

After listening to Li Xi's rough translation, Maomao asked in surprise, "Can't we take action?"

"Lena-chan, please eat the candy first..." Li Xi felt a little regretful and translated it for her.

"Miss Isabella, what do you think?"

After listening to everyone's opinions, Naomi Misora ​​turned her attention to the new operators.

"A self-torture tactic," Xia Ya pondered for a moment and then expressed her conclusion, "If Khadijah would use MS to launch an attack, and the Armenian military didn't discover it, I'm afraid there is only this possibility.

Even if the MS is dismantled of its limbs and armor, leaving only the thermonuclear fusion reactor, it still has to be transported by truck. If Armenia does not have an insider, it will be difficult to transport it through the layers of inspections.

Also, I was there when Aine was attacked, and the militants' goal was not to kill her.

If it was a terrorist like Khadijah, she would be killed because time would not allow for the kidnapping.

They had grenades with them, and it was hard for Aine to dodge them."

After Xia Ya finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

It's not that this blonde girl has some amazing wisdom that can solve the puzzle that no one can imagine.

But even if this is true, the 'Y' organization cannot take action without solid evidence.

It can be said that this is something that everyone tacitly accepts.
