The shining Shoko Toyokawa

"Xia Ya-san..."

Li Xi stood timidly at the door and knocked lightly on the door frame.

Her long black hair was wet, and she was wearing a casual outfit that was more like home style. She looked unusually reserved.

This was the first time Xia Ya had seen Li Xi wearing anything other than a pilot's suit.

"I'm really sorry, I overheard your conversation,"

Li Xi's voice was very low, and his right hand subconsciously grabbed his left arm, "Also, I did something greedy and disgusting,

I know clearly that being treated as someone else's appendage or substitute is very annoying.

But I still subconsciously connected Xia Ya-san and Xiangzi...

I'm such a jerk!

"You did nothing wrong, Lixi... I am Xiangzi,"

“It’s okay, Lixi, I don’t mind.

Xiangzi and I are sisters, aren’t we?

Is there any older sister who feels sad because she looks like her younger sister?"

Li Xi always felt that Xia Ya's smile was a little sad.

"You're just in time. Let's take Aine back to the dormitory first."

"OK,"

Li Xi responded and was about to step forward.

The pink-haired girl who fell asleep in Xia Ya's arms opened her lips and called out a name—

"Su Shi-san?"

Chapter 74: Beautiful and capable spokesperson

"Really? What are you talking about in your sleep?"

Riki placed one of Aine's hands on her shoulder, but found that Xia Ya, who asked her to help, did not move.

"Snapped"

The pen and notebook in Xia Ya's hand fell to the ground.

"Senior Xia Ya?"

Li Xi looked at her strangely, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, my hand slipped." Xia Ya quickly picked up the notebook and put Aiyin's other hand on her shoulder like Li Xi did. "Let's go, Li Xi."

"oh…"

"Sushi? Aine really likes her. And to Sushi, Aine is also very important. She wants to save her regardless of the risk to herself...

Well, isn't this good...'

Xia Ya smiled a blessing smile, "They...are different from people like me."

…………

"!!!"

Aiyin wasn't a drunk, so she had actually woken up a long time ago after such a loud commotion.

But I dare not wake up, I absolutely dare not wake up!

"Ah ...

At this moment, the pink-haired girl seemed to have transformed into a cyber psychopath, or a socially anxious guitarist, with her body twisted and deformed, and her soul leaving her body.

Why am I calling Sushi in my dream?

I... what an idiot!'

"Lixi-chan, where is the hair dryer? I'll help you dry your hair."

After sending Aine and Lenai back to the dormitory, Xia Ya did not leave.

Perhaps in order to foster a sense of teamwork, Naomi Misora ​​always arranged for them to live together.

"That's not necessary..."

Li Xi was unable to say no. She felt that when this blonde girl smiled at someone, few people would be able to refuse.

"Well, thank you for your help, Xia Ya-san,"

"Perhaps because she's a foreigner, she doesn't have the same sense of distance and formality as someone from District 11?"

"...Not good, this feels so weird!"

Li Xi's body tensed up amid the humming sound of the hair dryer.

In the past few years, her sister and mother often helped her blow dry her hair. Li Xi thought it was nothing.

But when a person you are not very familiar with stands behind you, and you expose your fragile back and neck to her, it is actually quite disturbing.

In those hundreds of thousands of years of primitive life, the crisis instinct rooted in human DNA will involuntarily make people alert.

But reason told Li Xi that the man would not hurt him.

When her white hand touched his scalp, Li Xi subconsciously clenched his fist.

Due to excessive concentration, the scalp is several times more sensitive than usual.

The head is blown with warm medium-level hot air, and the body is slightly cool and the hairs stand up.

Like an electric shock, it spreads from the scalp to the soles of the feet and then spreads across the body.

After a few times, Li Xi's face was flushed, his breathing became heavier, and his mind gradually became dazed.

So much so that she didn't even notice that the hair dryer had stopped.

"Lixi, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, it's very comfortable! Very comfortable!" When his name was suddenly called, Li Xi straightened his back subconsciously, just like a student who dozed off in class and was called out.

But after saying his thoughts out loud, Li Xi immediately regretted it to death, "Who... Who would think that blow-drying their hair would be comfortable?!"

"Well, my face is a little hot."

Xia Ya touched the forehead of the black-haired girl.

"!!!"

"So you're asking about my health! Ahhhhhh!"

The ammunition depot of the Lixi was hit and exploded, causing severe damage and a broken keel, and it sank.

"Damn, I'm so jealous! I want Chara-san to blow-dry my hair, too!"

A certain pink-haired girl pretending to be asleep, listened to the noise in the bathroom, and clenched her back teeth, "I... what an idiot!"

Just when things were looking good, the landline phone installed in the dormitory rang.

"Go to bed first, I'll take your temperature later."

Leaving a message, Xia Ya answered the phone.

"I'm sorry to bother you,"

Misora ​​Naomi's voice came from the receiver.

Xia Ya frowned and subconsciously looked up to see if there were any cameras in the dormitory.

"No, even I would give our precious pilots some privacy."

"Then Miss Misora, how did you know it was me who answered the phone?"

"This is a very simple deduction," Naomi Misora's voice was as usual, without any emotional ups and downs, "Takamatsu-san is now in Peneloperi, Nagasaki-san is injured,

Chihaya and Shiina couldn't wait any longer and asked who called.

"What about Lenai-chan?"

"She probably won't wake up until night."

"I don't quite understand, Miss Misora," Char's tone sounded more like confusion than questioning. "You knew the surrounding powers would come to fight for the Gundam, so why did you agree to disarm and come in?"

"Because I see potential in you... Although this may not be convincing, this is how I feel—

Xia Ya, if you join them, maybe you can really change the world."

"Is it because you didn't help the President this time that you're waiting for us to 'change the world'?"

What Xia Ya can think of, an adult like Misora ​​Naomi can certainly think of,

But their silence was deafening, like a director holding a script, waiting for the actors to take the stage.

"right,"

Naomi Misora ​​admitted this, "The current Y organization needs achievements and even more 'heroes' to compete with Ave Mujica.

Compared to the ordinary development under the arrangement of adults and the maintenance of order,

Against the backdrop of incompetent adults and two factions vying for power,

Wouldn't a group composed of a young pilot who wholeheartedly hopes for regional peace and works tirelessly for it, and a beautiful and capable spokesperson and commander, make them feel more like heroes and protagonists?

"What do you mean by a beautiful and capable spokesperson?"

…………

the next day,

In the endless flashes and clicks,

Wearing a blue and white uniform, Xia stepped onto the "Stage of Destiny".

That is the podium that may decide the fate of the world.

"I am Xia Isabella, the spokesperson for the Y organization.

Just yesterday morning, the pilots of my organization, flying the Odysseus Unit 3, and Penelope, repelled Khadijah's terrorist attack with non-lethal force.

We hereby condemn all terrorist attacks and call on all parties to stop using MS in war to prevent large numbers of civilian casualties and humanitarian crises.

Now, I would like to invite friends from the press to ask questions."

The spokesperson's golden hair was tied into a neat high ponytail.

Among the reporters who raised their hands, she chose a reporter from Armenian media to ask the first question.

"Ms. Isabella, are the photos published on the Y Organization's website real? Are there really any mechas in Gauchabaijan that are far more powerful than the Zaku?!"

There is no doubt that this is the issue that Armenians are most concerned about at the moment.

The photos taken in the Caucasus Mountains reminded Armenians of the fear of the Caucasian army approaching and the shame of defeat four years ago.

Faced with this question, Xia Ya did not answer immediately, but smiled meaningfully.

“Those photos are of course real. The video footage of Unit 03 engaging with them will be partially released after this press conference.

The next reporter, please ask a question."

Xia Ya did not allow the Armenian reporter to ask any more questions.

When asked by reporters from other countries whether they would really withdraw from Armenia, they also answered in an official tone and did not give a clear answer.

Armenians, you need to calm down for a while now.

Chapter 75: Ikaros

"We will do our utmost to negotiate with Caucasus to ensure that there is no further conflict between the two sides,"

As some footage of Unit 03 fighting in the Caucasus Mountains was released,

and the Y Organization spokesperson, Xia Isabella's Promise,

This attempt to force abdication launched by the top Armenian military officials ultimately failed.

Gaujabaijan has become a regional military power thanks to the "Gundam".

Despite repeated explanations by its leaders, there are no great demons, no Jegans, and no Ankhshas in Gauchabaijan.

But under the ironclad "evidence" and the close attention of the top leaders of neighboring major countries, he finally changed his tune.
