The Chapter get Retranslated
Mu La Flaga, who had already entered Archangel's second deck, hurried over and clicked his tongue as he watched Kira Yamato descend from the Strike Gundam.
"That was quite a... fierce battle."
"You are..."
Natarle Badgiruel whispered,
"He's the pilot of that Moebius Zero."
Mu La Flaga smiled and saluted everyone.
"I am Lieutenant Commander Mu La Flaga, of the Earth Alliance's 7th Mobile Fleet. Hello everyone."
Murrue Ramius and Natarle Badgiruel saluted back and introduced themselves to Mu La Flaga. After they had all understood each other's unit affiliation and rank, Mu La Flaga got straight to the point without much ceremony.
"I request permission to board. May I ask, who is in charge of this battleship?"
Natarle Badgiruel and Murrue Ramius exchanged glances, and Natarle Badgiruel said gravely,
"All senior officers below the captain have been killed in action. The current person in charge should be Lieutenant Commander Murrue Ramius, the vice-captain.
Only the junior officers and a few dozen crew members survived."
Murrue Ramius dropped her head in disappointment. Although she had guessed the losses were severe, she hadn't expected so few people to remain.
Although they could operate the Archangel, there weren't enough people to staff many areas.
At this moment, Mikazuki's voice came through Murrue Ramius's earpiece.
"Get out of the way, I'm landing."
Murrue Ramius turned to look, and the Gundam Barbatos was already descending from the sky with its weapon. She quickly waved people to move aside.
Boom!
The strong winds from the thrusters made everyone squint and shield their faces with their hands.
The Gundam Barbatos entered the deck, walked inside, and stood steady beside the Strike Gundam. Not until the wind died down did Murrue Ramius and the others approach the Gundam Barbatos, looking up and carefully examining the unruly Mobile Suit.
Natarle Badgiruel frowned at the Gundam Barbatos and asked Murrue Ramius,
"Lieutenant Commander Murrue Ramius, what exactly is this Mobile Suit...?"
Murrue Ramius shook her head.
"This Mobile Suit seems to be called Gundam Barbatos. I don't know its origin; it wasn't in the plans.
But thanks to its appearance, it helped me protect the Strike Gundam, otherwise..."
"Then, the pilot..."
At this moment, Mu La Flaga spoke up.
"Is it a child?"
"A child?"
Whoosh!
The Gundam Barbatos bent its legs, its chest cockpit opened, and the seat rose. Mikazuki Augus, having just disengaged his Alaya-Vijnana System, appeared in everyone's sight.
Aside from Murrue Ramius and Kira Yamato, everyone's mouths hung open. That brutal fighting style was actually controlled by a shirtless child? What kind of space joke was this?
Mikazuki put on a thin sweat-shirt over his torso, picked up the jacket hanging nearby, and jumped down from the Gundam Barbatos, landing in front of everyone. He said to Murrue Ramius,
"Can I have that back? I only have two of those, they're spares."
"Ah, yes."
Murrue Ramius took off the earpiece from her left ear and handed it to Mikazuki Augus. Mikazuki Augus put it in his jacket pocket.
The Maintenance Team leader looked at Mikazuki Augus and involuntarily exclaimed,
"Are you serious? Both Mobile Suits were piloted by children?"
"Hmm?"
Mikazuki Augus glanced around and said,
"Who was it that fired the missiles just now?"
"Uh..."
Natarle Badgiruel froze when Mikazuki Augus brought that up, then stepped forward and said,
"It was me."
"You? So it was you, the one who interfered with me."
Mikazuki Augus looked coldly at Natarle Badgiruel.
Natarle Badgiruel was inexplicably unnerved by Mikazuki Augus's gaze. Hearing what the boy said, her brows furrowed deeply.
"Interfered? Are you saying the support I provided just now interfered with you?"
"That's right, you guys were in the way just now. You scared those guys off, and I missed one."
"What do you mean? If it weren't for our support, you would have been surrounded by those three GINNs."
"No."
It wasn't Mikazuki Augus who responded to Natarle Badgiruel, but Mu La Flaga.
"That's not it, Ensign Badgiruel."
Natarle Badgiruel got a little angry, her face not looking good as she said,
"What do you mean, Lieutenant Commander La Flaga?"
Mu La Flaga gave a wry smile and looked at the indifferent Mikazuki Augus.
"This boy deliberately lured those three Mobile Suits to him, allowing them to surround him, making them think they had an opportunity, didn't he?"
"What? Deliberately?"
Natarle Badgiruel and the others were startled. Murrue Ramius seemed to have guessed something and looked at Mikazuki Augus in shock.
"Right, boy?"
Mu La Flaga asked with a smile. Mikazuki Augus put his hands in his pockets, closed his eyes, and answered calmly,
"Yeah, that's right."
Then Mu La Flaga looked up at the Gundam Barbatos again.
"Then it's no mistake. Based on this Mobile Suit's capabilities, and this boy's superb piloting skills, reactions, and that outrageous weapon,
the moment those three GINNs surrounded him, the boy could have swept them away, achieving the goal of eliminating three enemies in one strike.
But..."
"But, because of the Archangel's tail missiles, the three GINNs were scared away..."
Mu La Flaga's next words were finished by a disoriented Natarle Badgiruel. The truth was just as Mikazuki Augus had said; she had interfered with a great opportunity to annihilate three enemies.
Mikazuki Augus opened his eyes, seeing the distraught Natarle Badgiruel, and the anger in his heart completely dissipated.
Still, the same old saying: the people had already fled, and besides, she had genuinely intended to help him; she just didn't understand his and the Gundam Barbatos's capabilities.
"The strongest one got away."
Mu La Flaga was startled.
"Oh, boy, can you sense how troublesome that guy is?"
Mikazuki Augus threw a date fruit into his mouth and said calmly,
"He gave me a very unpleasant feeling, just like some of the guys from Gjallarhorn."
"Gjallarhorn?"
