The Chapter get Retranslated
In Mikazuki's room.
Mikazuki sat on the bed, eating a date.
"So, why are you here?"
Lacus sat beside him, intimately holding Mikazuki's hand and smiling.
"I came as a PLANT representative for peace, a member of the Condolence Group, to conduct a preliminary investigation at the Junius Seven satellite.
As for you, I was very worried when I heard about Heliopolis's destruction, but it's really good to see you safe and sound now."
Mikazuki nodded, his eyelids slightly raised.
"Hmm, a lot has happened, I guess."
"I can tell."
Lacus smiled gently.
The conversation between the two stirred an indescribable emotion in Murrue, especially seeing Lacus holding Mikazuki's hand...
She cleared her throat and interrupted them.
"Um, Mikazuki, do you know this... Miss Lacus Clyne?"
"Yes, Lacus is the person I trust most here. She's helped me a lot."
When Lacus heard Mikazuki say she was the person he trusted most, her large eyes curved like crescent moons, her face beaming with a smile.
Murrue's expression dimmed for a moment, but she quickly recovered, forcing a smile.
"I see. Well, Miss Lacus..."
"Just call me Lacus."
Lacus said, radiant as a spring breeze, making Murrue feel very comfortable talking to her.
"Alright, Lacus. Since you were with a team, why were you in an escape pod?"
"On the way, we encountered an Earth Alliance warship..."
Just then, Mikazuki stood up and interjected, "Were you bullied?"
"No, no, not really bullied."
Lacus quickly waved her hands. She knew Mikazuki's personality. If she truly said she was bullied, Mikazuki would definitely pilot Barbatos to chase down those Earth Alliance forces and wipe them all out.
Mikazuki sat down, appeased by Lacus.
"If you were bullied, just tell me. I'll take care of them for you."
Everyone present broke into a sweat. He was so direct!
"Thank you, Mikazuki."
Lacus felt warm inside from Mikazuki's concern. She reorganized her words and continued, "They requested a ship inspection, and although we agreed, the Earth Alliance personnel didn't seem to trust our intentions, so an argument broke out.
So, no, I wasn't bullied, Mikazuki."
Mikazuki nodded, indicating he understood, and quietly continued listening to Lacus's narration.
"Although it started as a small argument, it eventually escalated into a very intense conflict. The people around me told me to get into the escape pod. Everyone on the Silver Wind should already have..."
Lacus's expression dimmed as she spoke, the rest of the outcome left unsaid.
When they were transporting ice, they had seen a badly damaged green-and-silver shuttle. That must have been the so-called Silver Wind.
Murrue, Natarle, and Mu were somewhat incredulous. They hadn't expected their own comrades to be so unreasonable.
"How could this happen..."
"Afterwards, when I saw Barbatos in the escape pod, I thought I was dreaming, hehe."
Lacus chuckled, making no attempt to hide the affection in her eyes for Mikazuki. Murrue's expression hardened.
Of course, Mikazuki himself hadn't noticed this.
"Speaking of which, the surname Clyne sounds familiar..."
Mu stroked his chin in thought. Mikazuki then said to Lacus, "I remember Hilda saying you're the Chairman's daughter."
"Chairman?! I remember now, the current Chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council is Siegel Clyne, isn't he?!"
Mu exclaimed, finally recalling why the surname Clyne sounded so familiarâit was the surname of the current Chairman of the PLANT Council!
Natarle and Murrue, upon hearing this, sprang from their seats in shock.
The Chairman of PLANT's daughter! This was no joke; she was a truly important figure.
Mikazuki knew the enemy's princess. Could he also be...?
Natarle couldn't help but wonder. Mikazuki and Lacus were too close, and Mikazuki staying on the Archangel was already strange. All the signs made Natarle suspect Mikazuki might be an enemy.
"What about Hilda? Weren't they your bodyguards?"
Mikazuki thought of Hilda and the other two. Weren't they always protecting Lacus? Why hadn't he seen them?
"Father assigned them to other tasks. Other bodyguards were with me, and they were the ones who made me take the escape pod.
I remember PLANT sent me a message, saying someone would come to rescue me, so why didn't I see anyone?"
"Um... are you talking about a purple cyclops? I took him out."
Mikazuki scratched his head awkwardly.
"Eh?"
Lacus gasped, then gave a bitter smile when she saw Mikazuki wasn't joking.
"I'm sorry..."
Lacus shook her head and smiled.
"It's fine, don't worry about it. The situation then probably made it impossible to confirm, and... perhaps he wasn't even coming to save me."
"Hmm?"
Murrue and the others were puzzled by Lacus's last sentence. Her words seemed off.
Actually, to be precise, Lacus had been saved by Mikazuki again. If her guess was correct, the GINN that came searching must have been sent by Patrick Zala.
Ever since Bloody Valentine a year ago, Patrick Zala and her father had been at odds politically.
The previous incident where the Red Coats chased her on Earth was an example. She investigated secretly after returning home, and indeed, Patrick was the mastermind.
And this time, her misfortune was likely also due to Patrick's machinations.
But Lacus hadn't expected Mikazuki to appear again in her time of need, like a prince in shining armor... stirring her heart once more.
