Chapter 1495 Contradictions and Conflicts

"He's back."

"Yeah, I'm back."

"It's been more than half a year since we left, right?"

Hibiki Yuta, Utsumi Sho and Takarata Rikka looked at the familiar city through the glass of the viewing corridor. They were filled with emotions for a moment. They boarded the [Drestliga] in a daze at first, and then started After their fighting trip, they returned to their hometown after more than half a year. It seemed that everything was so familiar yet strange.

"Yuta, what do you mean to Shinjo-san..."

"Of course, defeat her!" Rikka Takarata was looking for Yuta Hibiki, but Utsumi Shogun said before Yuta Hibiki could speak. He was the one who knew the truth, and countless people died at the hands of the monster created by Akane Shinjo. Maybe he has forgotten that among the dead are his friends, so Akane Shinjo is the embodiment of evil and should be knocked down.

"Wait! Is this too much!?" Rikka Takarata burst out dissatisfied. She was very resistant to General Utsumi's attitude, especially his attitude of treating himself as a hero of justice. The battles were fought between Gurlitt and Hibiki Yu. Tai participated, the training was led by Yang Hui and others, and the logistical supplies and intelligence support were also provided by members of [Drestliga]. What did Inland Sea do? What qualifications do you have to consider yourself a hero?

Support Gullit? Don't be ridiculous. You just yelled in front of an old computer. Is this a hero of justice?

If it were in the past, Rikka Takarata wouldn't have said much, and she didn't want to create internal conflicts, so she never had a close relationship with Utsumi Sho.

But this time it involved her friends, and Rikka Takarata couldn't stay silent any longer.

Yes, the apparent originator of the Azalea Terrace, Shinjo Akane, is a friend of Rikka Takarata. When Yang Hui first talked to them and told them that Shinjou Akane was the creator of the Azalea Terrace and the initiator of the creation of the monster, she She couldn't believe it no matter what. It wasn't until Yang Hui put out pieces of ironclad evidence in front of her that she had no choice but to accept this fact.

But despite this, Rikka Takarata is also comforting herself, because the information provided by Yang Hui also mentioned that Akane Shinjo's ability to create monsters is not innate to her, and there is a hidden existence behind Akane Shinjo. Preliminary speculation is that it is an intruder from an alien civilization, and its existence gave Akane Shinjo such abilities.

In this way, Rikka Takarata naturally shifted all the responsibilities to the intruder. Rikka Takarata was not guilty. She was just bewitched and even manipulated.

"Is this too much? She created monsters and killed so many people, shouldn't she be knocked down?" Utsumi Shogun said to Rikka Takarata with a righteous tone.

"Haha? What kind of statement from a knight of justice are you talking about? We still haven't figured out whether Xiao Akane is being manipulated, right!?"

"Even if Shinjou-san is really manipulated, no one can deny what she has done! And...we are the Gulit Alliance! We are the embodiment of justice!"

"Obviously you can't do anything except cheer up, you can't even persist in normal training, and you can't learn anything. How do you have the right to say that!?"

"What did you say!?"

At this moment, Takarata Rikka completely exploded, venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart towards General Utsumi. General Utsumi naturally refused to give up after hearing the words. It was probably because Takarata Rikka had stabbed the pain in his heart, causing Utsumi Shoya was also angry, as if he wanted to fight Takarata Rikka until death.

"Takarata-san! Sho! Stop arguing!" Yuta Hibiki's mind was still buzzing. He was originally thinking about Shinjou Akane. Was he being manipulated? Is it out of control? If so, how should she be saved? If not, how should I treat Shinjo Akane? Is it annihilation? Or let her go?

But the quarrel between the two was so fierce that Hibiki Yuta was forced to interrupt his thoughts and quickly stood between the two to prevent them from fighting. "What are you doing?"

"What happened?"

"Takarata-san, Utsumi-san, don't fight."

Originally, there were only three of them in the viewing corridor, but the noise caused by the quarrel between Rikka Takarata and Sho Utsumi was so loud that people around and passing by were attracted, and upon seeing it, they quickly stepped forward to stop and persuade the two of them.

However, not knowing the inside story, they could not calm down the two people's excited emotions. They could only separate the two impulsive people, and then persuade and comfort them respectively.

"Finally broke out?" Elzam muttered, leaning against the wall.

"Have you discovered it a long time ago?" Ladis F. Braxitta asked as he looked at Elzam with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you notice?"

"..."

Faced with Erzam's rhetorical question, Ladis F. Brasita was speechless and choked. The correct statement is that there were very few people on the ship who did not notice the conflict between Takarata Rikka and Utsumi Sho. Especially Utsumi Sho, who was on board the ship. Some people still criticize General Utsumi.

As Rikka Takarata said, General Utsumi really had nothing to do on [Drestliga] and did not make much contribution.

Rikka Takarata and Utsumi Sho are positioned as the support team of Yuta Hibiki and Gulit. They do not participate in the battle, but they can provide emotional support to Yuta Hibiki and Gulit, strengthen Yuta Hibiki's will, and encourage and cheer up.

Apart from that, they have no other abilities. They are just ordinary high school students. How do you expect them to be able to prepare mobile suits? Or join the Marine Corps to fight? Or participate in research work?

In this regard, Takarada Rikka's situation is slightly better, because she is a girl, so she can prepare meals with the members of the logistics team, and Utsumi... can only help clean the ship.

It's not that they didn't give them a chance. Takarada Rikka knew that she was not that kind of material, and she didn't plan to stay in the Federation Army forever, so she took the initiative to refuse the opportunity. Because of this, Takarada Rikka never regarded herself as a hero of justice on [Drestriga], but always regarded herself as an ordinary person, doing everything she could to help everyone.

And Utsumi... was excited to sign up for various things at the beginning, and then... he didn't stick to it for more than 3 days. It was mainly because of his attitude. There was a kind of boasting and showing off that he had contributed to every victory of Gulit, which led to some people on the ship not excluding him, but they would never make close friends with him, and they had quite a few complaints in private.

"It's good that it broke out now." Elzam said, "I have read the information carefully. This is an opportunity and a test for them. If Utsumi-san still can't clearly understand himself, then he... it's better for him to get off the ship here."

"... Yeah." It was very rare. Ladis F. Brasuta couldn't remember the last time he agreed with Elzam's point of view.
