In the optical screen at this time, the red Holy Shield Gundam was quickly approaching the Strike Gundam, then stopped when it was still a short distance away from the Strike Gundam, and stood quietly opposite the Strike Gundam. Immediately, the Strike Gundam who had been waiting there raised the beam gun in his hand and pointed it at the chest of the Aegis Gundam. Then the cockpits of the Strike Gundam and Aegis Gundam were opened successively, exposing the pilots inside. out. Then, the pilot of the Aegis Gundam came outside the cockpit, reached out and grabbed the hand of Lux who flew towards him from the cockpit of the Strike Gundam, pulled her to his side, and said a few words to Kira. After speaking, he returned to the cockpit with Lux, and flew back to his respective battleships with the Strike Gundam.

"The enemy ship has a mobile suit attack." Just as the two Gundams were returning to their respective battleships, the radar adjutant of the Archangel suddenly reported.

"Start the engine of the Nazca-class battleship." The thermal radar monitoring officer then said.

Immediately, Mu, who had long expected that Cruze would come, started the engine of the horse and flew out of the Archangel. Just when the MA driven by Mu and the MS driven by Cruze had just rushed past Strike and the Aegis Gundam, the MS driven by Cruze suddenly came to an emergency stop and turned back to the Aegis Gundam. Next to him, he flew back to the Nazca-class battleship with the Holy Shield.

Later, the Strike Gundam, accompanied by the horse driven by Mu, returned to the Archangel.

"Captain, I propose a military trial for Kira Yamato." After Strike Gundam and Ma returned to the Archangel, Baki Lulu stood up and said to Malu.

"Okay." Ma Liu turned to look at Bucky Lulu who had a persistent look on her face. He sighed and agreed. Then he stood up, left the bridge with Bakki Lulu and Ito Cheng, found Mu and Kira who had just walked out of the Gnaku, and announced their decision.

"Eh?" Upon hearing that there was going to be a military trial, Mu immediately made a surprised sound and turned to look at Kira, who was in a depressed mood next to him. However, as a soldier, Mu couldn't say anything about the matter, so he had no choice but to agree.

"As a client, you can have a defender." Bakki Lulu said to Kira with a serious face.

"What the defender said..." After hearing this, Ma Liu immediately turned his attention to Ito Cheng and Mu.

"Don't look for me, I'm not familiar with military law or anything like that." Ito Cheng floated directly to the side of Bucky Lulu and said anxiously to Maru.

"Okay. Let me be Kira's defender." Mu sighed and said helplessly.

Then, Maru, Baki Lulu, and Ito Cheng arrived at the captain's lounge. (.) Prepare to temporarily use this place as a military court. Then the three of them found a seat and sat down, waiting.

After a while, Mu and Kira, who had changed back into their Earth United military uniforms, came into the room.

In the room, Malu, as the captain and the judge of the temporary military court, naturally sat in the main seat behind the desk. In the open space in front of her stood Kira, the prisoner awaiting trial, and sat on the left and right sides of Kira. He was accompanied by his defender Mu and prosecutor Bakki Lulu. As for the only idler, Ito Shigenori, as a witness, sat at the window frame behind Kira.

"The court is in session." After everyone arrived, Ma Liu announced.

As Malu's words fell, Bakilulu, the prosecutor, immediately told the crimes Kira committed in this act one by one.

"The defendant did not realize how much of a threat his actions would pose to the safety of the ship." Baji Lulu said.

"This is just your speculation. There is no real evidence. I want to delete this statement from the record." Mu opened his mouth to defend Kira.

"Deletion is allowed." Mariu, who clasped her hands together, rested her elbows on the table, and stared at Kira in front of her, agreed.

"This case... treating civilians as hostages violates Article 4 of the Treaty of Goruska." Mu, holding a military law manual in both hands, continued to defend.

"This action was taken with reference to the wartime measures of Special Case Project C. It was dealt with appropriately." Although Baji Lulu also held a military law manual in her hand, she did not take a look at it and relied entirely on memory in her mind. The military law regulations opened his mouth to retort.

"Eh? Special case c? Why didn't I know there was such a thing?" Mu was also a half-hearted fan of military law. After hearing Bucky Lulu's words, he immediately started rummaging through the manual in his hand with a look of surprise on his face. But there are so many articles of military law, which one can he find in a short time? In the end, Mu had to put aside the mention of special project c. Directly using the results to defend, "However, it was officially because the hostages were released that the Nazca-class battleships evacuated, and we were out of danger because of this."

"This is just based on the results." Bakki Lulu retorted.

"Kira Yamato, do you have anything to say?" Mariu said to Kira, who had been silent. But after waiting for a while and still no answer from Kira, he had to ask directly, "Why did you do that without permission?"

"I didn't save her because she was a hostage." Kira felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart towards the Earth Army who took civilians as hostages. Naturally, she had nothing to say, so she said in a deep voice with a very serious expression.

"You didn't save him because he was a hostage, but you didn't want him to be used again. Or maybe you didn't want him to stay on the ship and be imprisoned." Ito Shigezai, who had been watching the trial, heard Kira's words. Finally, I thought to myself.

"That's right, I'll only do it for my girlfriend." Mu said in a joking tone, but what he got in return was Kira's glare.

"Objection." Baji Lulu immediately stood up and protested.

"Defense, please pay attention to what you say." Ma Liu turned to Mu Jing and warned. Then he flattened his hands that had been held in front of him, looked at Kira and said, "Kira Yamato, violated Article 3, Item b, Article 10, Item f, and also violated Article 13, Item 3, this court It was decided to sentence the parties to death.”

Hearing this, Kira immediately showed a look of disbelief and looked at Maru in front of him in shock, his eyes full of despair. He probably never thought that his actions would bring about his own death.

"But in the final analysis, it was a judgment in a military court. This court does not have the right to punish civilians. So I hope that Kira Yamato can act cautiously in the future, and I will leave the court." After a pause, Malu's words suddenly changed. He said in a calm tone.

This sudden turn was like a light in the darkness, immediately calling Kira back from despair. She looked at Maru with surprise on her face and opened her mouth, "That..."

"I'm telling you not to act without permission in the future." Mu stood up and said to Kira.

Although Baji Lulu was dissatisfied with this verdict, she also knew that Ma Liu had the final say on everything on the ship, so she did not argue about anything. She just stood there silently and looked angrily at Mu He who was chatting leisurely there. Kira.

"I'll take my leave first." Kira calmed down and said to the four people in the room, turned around and walked out. After him, a relaxed Mu and an angry Baji Lulu also left the room one after another.

"Huh!" Ma Liu let out a sigh of relief as he watched Bucky Lulu leave.

"It seems that you are powerless against Second Lieutenant Bakki Lulu." Ito Cheng walked to the front of Maru's table, looked at Maru and said with a chuckle.

"Natal takes everything too seriously. Although this will make her an excellent soldier, it will also make her lose a lot of things." Malu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead and whispered.

"Don't you realize that this kind of Natal is the best Natal for you?" Ito Cheng smiled.

"Maybe." Ma Liu tilted his head, thought for a while, nodded and said.

"Hey, Maru..." Suddenly, Ito Cheng called to Maru in a very gentle tone.

"Huh?" Ma Liu looked at Ito Cheng in front of him inexplicably, not knowing what he was going to do.

"There are no outsiders in the room now." Ito Cheng said with a smile as he walked around the table to Maru's side.

"Captain Itoge." Malu immediately knew what Itogei was going to do, a blush flashed on his face, and then he shouted to Itogei seriously with some embarrassment.

"Hehe." Ito Cheng turned a deaf ear to Ma Liu's name. He chuckled and walked up to Ma Liu. He put one hand on the armrest of the chair where Ma Liu was sitting, and put the other hand on the top of the back of the chair, looking down. Malu, who was sitting on the chair, gradually leaned her head over.

Listening to Ito Chenghe's breathing and feeling the warm breath coming towards his face, Maru dodged in a panic. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and pressed it against Ito Cheng's chest, pushing outwards with all his strength. But Ito Cheng's strength was not comparable to that of Maru. After pushing several times, I Tonari didn't loosen up at all. In the end, the helpless Maru had to close her eyes and prepare to receive Ito Cheng's kiss.

It’s just that Ma Liu closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but she didn’t see Ito Cheng coming down. A little strange, Ma Liu opened her eyes carefully, and then she saw Ito Cheng’s face that was almost touching hers...

"Seeing that you are so resistant, let's forget it this time. I will taste your beautiful lips next time." Ito Cheng looked at Ma Liu and said softly. After saying that, he stepped away from Malu, turned around and left Malu's room.

"Huh!" After the induction door closed again, Ma Liu let out a long breath, and then a feeling of half relief and half loss immediately rose from the bottom of her heart.

The next three days were uneventful. There were no zafts chasing outside, and there were no more troubles inside the ship. They successfully arrived near the main force of the Eighth Fleet, preparing to join the main force of the Eighth Fleet.

"There are about 30 minutes left until we reach the rendezvous point." In the bridge, Malu, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, looked at the dark space outside and said softly, "The day has finally come."

"Everyone should be more vigilant and pay attention to the fleet. There may be enemies targeting the fleet." After hearing Ma Liu's words, Bucky Lulu on the side immediately shouted an order.

"Yes!" the radar officer responded. . . )
