Chapter 303 Don't Do Stupid Things

"Hey, I asked you...what are you doing?" Aslan came to Cagalli and asked with a speechless expression, his tone was just like an old father looking helplessly at his naughty child.

"Can't you understand?"

"Um?"

"I can't move, stop being stuck there and help me!"

"You're like this, do you still have a dignified attitude?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

"..." Aslan really can't accept Cagalli's brain circuit. He really doubts what kind of family can raise such a daughter. We are mutual enemies. We were fighting to the death just now, and now you are tied up by me. Strictly speaking, you are my prisoner. Which prisoner yells at the person who catches him like the eldest lady?

Although he was speechless, but his words were out of character, Aslan still squatted down and helped Cagalli up from the water.

As soon as she was helped up, Cagalli was about to say thank you, when a little crab slowly crawled out from under Cagalli's hair. A pair of small dark eyes looked at Cagalli, then at Aslan, and vomited. Bubble's little mouth seemed to tilt up in a very obscene arc, and with a "plop~", he jumped into the water again.

"Pfft~ Hahahaha..."

"Are crabs that funny?"

"No, sorry, it's just new to me."

"Are there no crabs in PLANT?" Cagalli glared at Aslan angrily, stood up and jumped out of the shield's coverage, exposing herself to the downpour of rain.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Just in time to wash up, my whole body is covered with sand and sea water." Feeling the refreshing feeling of the rain, Cagalli raised her head and smiled, "Uh-huh~! It feels so refreshing!"

Aslan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, smiled helplessly, walked behind Cagalli, raised the knife in his hand, and cut the rope that bound Cagalli.

"Forehead?"

"You have no weapons, so you can't cause any big trouble if you want to."

"What did you say!?"

"It looks like there are crabs in your clothes too."

"Eh?" Cagalli blushed, and sure enough she felt bursts of itching coming from her chest. Without thinking, she lifted up her clothes, revealing her delicate white and rosy skin, and even the southern hemisphere, which was not alone. .

"It really does exist!" Cagalli exclaimed when a little crab landed, but at this moment, her eyes collided with Aslan's. They were both stunned at the same time, their faces flushed.

Aslan realized that he seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen. He blushed and turned away, but in his haste, he didn't pay attention to his steps. With a "plop", he ended up with the same fate as Cagalli.

…

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping at all, but it is full of ambiguity and warmth, as if it wants to fulfill a certain two people.

In desperation, Aslan and Cagalli did not dare to stay in the rain anymore, so they found a nearby cave and hid in it, set up firewood, and dried their soaked clothes.

"Give."

Cagalli, wrapped in a blanket, stared blankly at the military rations handed over by Aslan.

"The signal here is very poor. We will probably spend the night here tonight." Seeing that Cagalli didn't answer, Aslan shrugged helplessly and placed it at her feet.

"Isn't it your fault that the signal is so bad?"

"..."

Aslan was silent again, turned around, picked up his share of food, and replied in a low voice: "That's because the Earth Army launched a nuclear strike first."

Now it was Cagalli's turn to be silent. Of course she knew that the source of the war was the Earth Army's nuclear strike. Hatred brought hatred, forming an infinite chain, but she just couldn't understand why the two sides had to fight to the death. Can't we be like Orb? In Orb, don't natural people and adjusters live together peacefully and happily?

"ZAFT's rations are also rations. Yours were washed away along with the bag, right?" Seeing that Cagalli was still unmoved, Aslan persuaded.

Cagalli is arrogant and unwilling to agree or accept Aslan's charity, but her body is very honest.

"Gulu~"

"Well……"

From the afternoon to now, I really haven’t eaten anything. Cagalli is not a delicate eldest lady, but she is not out of the scope of a eldest lady. Naturally, her stomach is growling with hunger. In the end, she has no choice but to take it frankly. He picked up his rations and started eating.

"Ha." When Aslan saw this, he also showed a gentle smile like an old father.

Time passed little by little, and the fire crackled. Aslan and Cagalli sat opposite each other, relatively speechless.

"You...won't you tie me up?" Cagalli asked. She just felt that the current atmosphere was too embarrassing. It was definitely not the first time that a man and a woman had lived alone in a cave in the wild. She was a little scared, "What if I take advantage of this?" If you don't take your gun away, the situation will be reversed."

"What?"

"You'll look like a fool then."

"Pfft~ Hahaha..." Aslan laughed again. He thought Cagalli wanted to say something, but this is what happened?

"What are you laughing at!?"

"No, you really don't have a long memory."

"Well……"

"If you want to grab the gun..." the smile suddenly faded, and a feeling called sadness surrounded the face illuminated by the fire, "...I can only kill you, so don't do such stupid things."

"..." Cagalli was stunned for a moment and lowered her head. She really didn't understand what Aslan meant, and why should she treat it so gently? Shouldn't they be enemies? Doesn’t the ZAFT army show no mercy to its enemies? If ZAFT treats its enemies so gently, then what kind of companions have it lost before?

"Whether it was [Heliopolis] or this time, you managed to save your life."

"Hmph, I didn't expect people from ZAFT to worry about my safety."

"That time [Heliopolis]... we never thought it would turn out like that."

"What?"

"[Shuguang Society] developed mobile suits for the Earth Army. We originally planned to take them away."

"What else is there to say now? No amount of sophistry can change the fact that you destroyed the colonial satellite!"

"Then Orb's neutrality means that he can play both sides and act as a backer?" Aslan asked. In fact, his political literacy was not very high. He couldn't stand Orb's practice of playing both sides, making deals with both sides, and seeking benefits from them. , even if Yang Hui, Wang Liumei and Huang are all his friends, he has the same view.

Since you claim to be neutral to the outside world, don't do anything, just watch and watch!

"..." Cagalli was silent. Not only Aslan, she was also dissatisfied with Orb's actions, and she didn't understand it even more.

"We are fighting for PLANT and we cannot leave things like that alone."

"Isn't it the same on Earth? Your invasion made the Earth a mess, so we..."

The two people's eyes collided, and the flames shone in the pupils of both parties. There was anger, unwillingness, and the passion to convince the other party.

In the end, Aslan averted his gaze and said happily and fearfully: "My mother was on [Julius 7] at that time. If it weren't for the emperor and Wang Rumei, she would..."

"Eh?"

"Although my mother was saved, countless innocent people lost their lives in the blink of an eye, and even children could not escape. How can people swallow this!?"

Aslan knew that the tragedy of [Bloody Valentine's Day] could have been avoided. Yang Hui had already given the information in advance, but neither PLANT nor ZAFT executives paid attention, so the Earth Army succeeded.

But in the final analysis, wasn't it the Earth Army that caused all of this to happen? It is understandable that the two armies are fighting to seek others and themselves, but the Earth Army frantically launched a nuclear strike on [Julius 7], which had no troops stationed there. This is unacceptable to anyone.

"I also have many friends who died under your fire!"

"...Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you here." Aslan gave up. He found that no matter what he said, he couldn't convince Cagalli, so he simply lay down and prepared to rest.

Cagalli snorted coldly, wrapped herself in a blanket and walked outside the cave. God may have realized that her help was meaningless, so the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the moon came out.

Looking up at the Holy Shield Gundam, Cagalli recalled what she saw and heard in [Heliopolis], her dispute with Yang Hui, and Yang Hui's lessons and scoldings. Her heart was in confusion. She doesn't know what is right or wrong, she doesn't understand the general principles, she just wants to follow her own ideas.

Turning around, Cagalli was surprised to find that Aslan had fallen asleep with her arms pillowed on her head.

"Hey! Are you just going to sleep?"

"No, how could it be... But as soon as we landed on the earth... we were transferred..." Before he finished his intermittent words, Aslan closed his eyes again. He was indeed tired, and his tone showed fatigue. He had never felt anything before. He came out because he had received strict training and knew how to cheer up when faced with threats. Now that he judged that Cagalli was not a threat, he relaxed and the pent-up exhaustion suddenly surged to the surface.

Cagalli glanced at Aslan who was sleeping, especially the gun on her waist. The angel and the devil were fighting in her heart. She was extremely entangled and sat down with her back to Aslan, and complained in a deliberately louder voice: " Don’t sleep so soundly next to your enemy!”

As a result, Aslan didn't answer Cagalli at all and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing this, Cagalli sighed. She was increasingly confused about the situation, especially the ZAFT army.

From Andre Butterfield to Aslan, they were the two ZAFT troops she had really come into contact with, but each one brought her a completely different feeling. Andre Butterfield's open-mindedness His passion, and Aslan's gentleness all impacted her inherent impression of the ZAFT army.

But excluding contact with the two of them, ZAFT only brought her the pain of war, whether it was the collapse of Heliopolis or the sacrifice of her North African comrades.

With a very complicated mood, Cagalli crouched next to Aslan, her hand tremblingly reaching for the holster on her waist. But when she was about to make contact, she thought of Aslan's gentle warning to her, and her hand He paused and then retracted.

At this moment, the sound of crackling firewood woke Aslan up.
