Chapter 279 Confusion of being late

It was getting late and the sun was setting in the west. I wonder if even the sky was lamenting the cruelty of war, adding a touch of blood to the golden desert.

"Kira, you are here."

Yang Hui took the food and looked around, only to find Kira in a remote corner. Accompanying him was Fleur.

"Yang Hui..."

For some reason, Kira felt that it was difficult to face Yang Hui, her eyes dodge, and she wanted to leave but her feet could not move.

Seeing this, Yang Hui shook his head and asked Fleur, who was leaning closely against Kira: "Can I borrow your boyfriend for a few minutes?"

"No! Yang Hui, Fleur isn't..."

"Stop it." Seeing Kira's panicked defense, Yang Hui immediately stopped him, "Now that you've done it, take responsibility. You're a man, aren't you?"

Kira was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Fleur who was about to cry, lowered her head again, but held Fleur's hand.

After Fleur felt the warmth of her palm, she suddenly froze for a moment. Her pitiful performance was interrupted. She looked at Kira and then at Yang Hui at a loss.

"Can I borrow Kira for a few minutes?"

"..." Fleur did not answer, but looked at Kira with very complicated eyes.

She didn't want Kira to be alone with Yang Hui, because she was afraid that Yang Hui would see something and persuade Kira to leave her, or Kira wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut and would speak ill of Yang Hui in private and sow discord between the two. Tell Yang Hui.

But...at this moment, the warmth of her palms left a drop of melting water on her cold heart. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to listen to Kira. She would leave if Kira asked her to leave.

"Fleur, can you please wait for a few minutes?" Kira asked Fleur softly.

"...It's okay." He was silent for a while, hiding his disappointment in his heart, and slowly left with the food in hand.

Yang Hui glanced at Fleur's back, then sat on the floor in front of Kira, swallowing the food with big mouthfuls.

"Yang Hui..."

"Fill your stomach first. Food is very precious in the desert. Don't waste it."

"..."

In silence, Kira couldn't understand Yang Hui more and more. He specially sent Fleur away to talk to him, but when Fleur left, he told himself that the food was precious and he should eat quickly?

Forget it, stop thinking, just listen to Yang Hui. It has always been like this before, right?

Kira also followed Yang Hui's example and wolfed down the food. After a few clicks, the two of them finished the food.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the firelight imprinted on the faces of the two people, exacerbating the dull atmosphere.

"Yang Hui... Fulei..."

"Stop it. Don't tell me about your relationship problems. I don't care. Just remember to send me an invitation when you get married."

"Eh~? We're not..."

"Kira."

"Um."

"Do you remember what I said to you when we parted?"

"Remember."

"As I say, just do whatever you want and don't worry too much about other things."

"But Fleur and Sai..."

"That's the choice."

"choose?"

"Yes, although you are still underage, you are already a person who can take charge of your own affairs. Now that you have made a choice, you must bear the consequences of the choice."

"But... I really don't know what to do, Yang Hui. After you left, I was very confused. I still want to protect Thor and the others, but I also hate fighting. I really hate it!"

"I know."

"But if I don't fight, I can't protect them! When what you want to do and what you don't want to do overlap, what will you choose?" Kira asked Yang Hui.

"Simple."

"Eh?"

"Just find the purpose of fighting."

"I'm not……"

"You don't have a firm will at all now, Kira, and the same goes for your relationship with Fleur." Yang Hui looked up at the bright starry sky and said to Kira, "Because your will is not firm, that's why you feel uncomfortable , Fighting... is indeed something that should be uncomfortable. After all, the essence of fighting is killing, and no glamorous excuse can hide this fact. "

"..." Kira fell silent. Yang Hui's words hit the scar on his heart. The reason why he hated fighting was because he didn't want to kill anyone and didn't want to see anyone die.

"But people with a strong will will not back down because of this, because they, we, have a clear goal, a goal that must be completed even if it means killing people."

"What...target?"

"I don't know about the others, but my word... protect them."

"guard?"

"Yes, it is to protect, to protect the people I love, to protect everything I cherish. This is the reason why I fight."

"But...do you really not care? Someone dies..."

"Yes."

"Eh?"

"If someone wants to destroy everything I hold dear, even if they kill people, I will protect them."

"...You are really amazing, Yang Hui." Kira shook her head bitterly, and looked up at the stars with Yang Hui, "I'm not as powerful as you, I really can't accept it."

"Then try not killing anyone, Kira."

"Eh?"

"There are many types of battles, and there are also non-killing ones, such as MS battles. Making the opponent lose the ability to fight is also a way to end the battle."

"Is it really possible?" Kira stood up in surprise and asked Yang Hui.

"Okay, but you have to be prepared."

"What preparation?"

"You are more likely to die, and your companions are more likely to be prepared to die."

"this!"

"So Kira, this is all a choice. If you choose to be kind to the enemy, you will be cruel to yourself and your companions. Moreover, the enemy will not thank you for your kindness, but will only laugh at you for being stupid, and then come with more enemies. ”

"I...I don't want this outcome!"

"Then hold on, Kira, or are you willing to give up Thor and the others, give up Fleur, and escape alone?"

"Absolutely not! There is no way I would abandon Thor and the others! Nor will I abandon Fleur!"

"Then keep at it, Kira, and make yourself stronger and stronger, not only with the mobile suit's driving skills." As he spoke, Yang Hui's fingers touched Kira's heart, "And your heart is truly powerful. , is the strength of the soul.”

"I...I'm not as powerful as you, Yang Hui...and Fleur...I have hurt Sai. He has paid so much for me, but I..."

"No one is born strong, Kira, and I am the same." Yang Hui stood up, took his and Kira's plates and planned to leave, "I can't give you advice on emotional matters, but... if it were me , I will find a way to maintain it well on both sides.”

"Eh?"

"I'm an adult, Kira." Yang Hui turned his back to Kira, tilted his head and teased, "Children make choices, I want them all! Hahaha..."

Hearing Yang Hui's domineering speech and arrogant laughter, Kira was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Yang Hui walked away that she came back to her senses.

"What are you talking about, this guy? Aren't you and I the same age?" Kira shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing that this is Yang Hui, who is always so confident.

"All or nothing? Can I do it too?"

…

Yang Hui paused before carrying the plate very far, and said seriously to the shadow on the side: "I know you are using Kira, and I also know that you hate me. I am not qualified to persuade you to let go of your hatred, nor am I qualified to ask you. Forgiveness, but...protect him, he can protect all of you, but you are the only one who can protect him now."

After saying that, regardless of whether there was any response or not, Yang Hui continued to walk forward. It was not until he was far away that Fleur stepped out of the shadows, with a complicated and ferocious expression, but it was not scary at all, but made people feel pitiful.

"What? He's obviously just a murderer, he obviously doesn't know anything, he's just a big talker! Kira is just my tool! I'm going to use him to kill all the adjusters! And you! I'm going to kill you too. ! But..." As he thought, warm tears could not stop flowing down, "But why... are you telling me this? I don't need your pity! I... I... Kira..."

…

After Yang Hui put the plate in the storage area, he didn't chat with anyone anymore. He found a quiet place and continued to appreciate the mystery and depth of the starry sky.

"You guys, why do you like to pretend to be serious more and more?" Lyle came over and sat directly next to Yang Hui.

"I'm tired, what else would I do?" Yang Hui complained.

"You asked for this too." Lyle teased.

Originally, they could have continued what they did in the Gundam AGE world, relying on their powerful driving skills and technological levels beyond this world to establish an independent force and then become heroes, or they could have repeated what they did in the Gundam OO world and become a behind-the-scenes BOSS challenge again. In the process of concentrating hatred all over the world, the distortion points such as [Blue Cosmos] and [Logos] were cleared away, and finally they retired with success.

Although this is very tiring, it is definitely much better than now. Look how many things Yang Hui has to worry about now?

Combat, scientific research, diplomacy, economy, internal affairs... he needs to worry about everything in a country, how can he not be tired?

"I just want to experience this kind of life." Yang Hui grinned.

"Haha, you can't even deceive Miss Huang and Wang Rumei. That girl Cagalli might be able to bluff them."

"Yeah, indeed."

Any talk of "wanting to experience life" is a lie. The reason Yang Hui chose to manage a country was for the future.

As Promes Fortress grows stronger and connects more and more worlds, it will inevitably come into contact with these things.

Promis Fortress has no country, but each connected world is a different country. As a commander, he naturally wants to ensure that every world can be on the same page as Promis Fortress. Otherwise, if civil strife occurs, there is no need to wait for unknown enemies. Show up and they're done.

"Okay, now that Cagalli has been found, it's time for us to go back."

"It's hard to say."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing, I just had a hunch." As he spoke, Yang Hui looked at the Archangel docked nearby. "I always feel that my fate with this ship is not over yet."

At this moment, the frontline command post suddenly became chaotic.

"It's bad! Taseer was attacked by the ZAFT army!"
