The Chapter get Retranslated
The protagonist of Bloody Valentine, Junius Seven, where everyone on the entire colony suffered death from the Earth Alliance's nuclear attack.
The death toll was nearly 250,000, the most severe casualty count since PLANT's founding, and it was this tragedy that led more and more young people in PLANT to join the military and ZAFT.
Although Kira wasn't completely relieved, he felt that Mikazuki made sense.
The living were more important than the dead. Though he felt guilty towards the deceased residents of Junius, for the sake of the many lives on the Archangel, they could only trespass.
On the other hand, Mikazuki, piloting Barbatos, had no such qualms. Firstly, he didn't kill those people; secondly, he didn't see anything wrong with it.
Again, those people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't kill them. He had no reason to feel guilty.
Otherwise, if he felt guilty about every person he killed, how would he and Tekkadan have survived to this day?
Picking through dead bodies was something he had done countless times even when he was in CGS, so he was long used to it. Guilt and reluctance simply couldn't exist.
As Mikazuki was protecting the transport ships, the Iron Flower on his screen flickered.
"Mikazuki, there's a Mobile Suit at 8 o'clock. Next to it is a shuttle that looks like it was just destroyed by it."
Mikazuki immediately maneuvered Barbatos to hide behind a giant asteroid.
Following Orga's guidance, Mikazuki saw directly through the retinal projection what Barbatos saw: a largely destroyed shuttle and a purple GINN.
"Just one?"
"Yes, just one."
"Then let's take it out."
With that, Barbatos, hidden behind the asteroid, ignited its thrusters, which burned intensely with fuel, appearing in front of the GINN with lightning speed.
The Sword Striker Pack's original anti-ship sword had been replaced with a solid alloy katana, and the smoothbore cannon was securely mounted behind the thruster. The overall equipment was much more stable than the first time.
The GINN had no time to react before Barbatos cut it in half with one stroke, causing it to explode amidst the debris.
Mikazuki looked at the katana in his hand and muttered, "It's decent."
Natarle on the transport ship and Murrue on the Archangel noticed the commotion from Mikazuki's side. Seeing Barbatos destroy a GINN, they quickly notified the transport ship.
"Speed up. Strike, expand your alert range."
"Yes."
"Mikazuki, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, it was just one... Hmm?"
Murrue heard Mikazuki hum in surprise and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Looks like there's an escape pod."
"An escape pod? In that area?"
Murrue quickly remotely controlled the monitor on the transport ship, turning the screen to the area Mikazuki mentioned. Indeed, a small escape pod was visible.
Mikazuki frowned slightly. His intuition told him that an important person would be in that escape pod, and he had to save her.
"I'll bring that escape pod back. Is that alright?"
"Eh..."
Murrue was momentarily stunned. This seemed to be the first time Mikazuki had made a somewhat selfish request. She paused, then smiled.
"Yes, that's fine. After all, we've taken a lot from Junius Seven. If there's someone alive in the escape pod, saving them would be a small comfort to our consciences."
Mikazuki smiled faintly, knowing that Murrue was making an exception for him.
"Thank you."
After saying thank you, Barbatos slowly moved towards the escape pod's location.
Inside the escape pod, a pink spherical robot floated around.
"Haro Haro, Lacus, Barbatos, Barbatos!"
"Barbatos?"
A pleasant voice paused, then activated the screen inside the escape pod. Seeing Barbatos approaching, she exclaimed in surprise, "Mikazuki!"
Barbatos grabbed the escape pod and brought it back to the Archangel.
He maneuvered the Mobile Suit into the hangar, floated out of the cockpit, and landed beside the escape pod in front of the Mobile Suit.
Murrue and Natarle arrived with several armed soldiers. After all, it was a ZAFT escape pod, so caution was necessary.
Mikazuki ate a date as Kojiro, from the maintenance team, unlocked the escape pod. Murrue, standing beside him, asked, "Mikazuki, you're not usually one to meddle, so why the sudden urge to bring this escape pod back?"
"Intuition."
Murrue broke into a sweat.
"Intuition?"
"Yes, intuition."
Just then, Kojiro finished the analysis. He held his laptop and said to the group, "It's about to open."
With that, the armed soldiers pointed their guns at the escape pod. Kojiro pressed the confirmation button, and the escape pod's alloy door lowered.
"Haro!"
A pink spherical robot floated out, continuously chanting, "Haro Haro, Lacus!"
Mikazuki blinked.
"Haro?"
"Mikazuki!"
Then, a beautiful figure rushed out of the escape pod. Mikazuki's face collided with something soft, allowing him to smell a wonderful fragrance, but also feeling a sense of suffocation.
"Lacus?"
Lacus released Mikazuki, but her hands tightly gripped his large ones, nodding vigorously, her face radiant with the joy of reunion.
"Yes, we meet again, Mikazuki."
Murrue watched the two chatting, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Mi... Mikazuki..."
Natarle and the others also wore stunned expressions.
"You... know each other?"
