The Chapter get Retranslated
Mu La Flaga said, arms crossed,
"So those children can't get in either, right? How will we house them?"
Murrue Ramius looked at Mikazuki Augus beside her and softly called,
"Mikazuki Augus."
"Hmm?"
Mikazuki Augus looked up, bewildered, at Murrue Ramius.
"What is it?"
"What are your plans next?"
Mikazuki Augus answered Murrue Ramius's question while eating.
"Following you."
Murrue Ramius was somewhat delighted. Mikazuki Augus's joining meant that the Archangel would have a super-strong combatant to protect them. At the same time, she was a little curious.
"Really? Can you tell me why?"
"Ah, the reason. It's simple, I have to fight for some reason."
"Fight? For some reason? What is it?"
Natarle Badgiruel asked, puzzled.
Mikazuki Augus put down his empty plate, chugged some water, let out a burp, and then answered her.
"Can't say. In any case, following this battleship will lead to fights, and the person who brought me here has already left. I can't leave this place on my own."
That was indeed true. After all, operating a shuttle was simpler than a Gundam, but Mikazuki Augus wasn't like Eugene and the others; he couldn't pilot anything without the Alaya-Vijnana System-equipped Gundam frame or mobile worker.
"If there's a fight, I'll sortie to protect you. You don't need to pay me; just provide food and lodging."
A strange, somewhat bittersweet emotion flashed through Murrue Ramius's heart when she heard this.
"No other requests?"
"Nope, none."
Mikazuki Augus stood up, clapped his hands, and said to Murrue Ramius,
"Do you have any large-caliber smoothbore cannons here?"
"Large-caliber smoothbore cannons? Hold on, let me check."
Murrue Ramius opened the computer on the captain's chair and scrolled through the Archangel's Mobile Suit weapon equipment information.
"We do have smoothbore cannons, but the caliber isn't particularly large, only 115mm."
115mm? Mikazuki Augus thought for a moment. His original smoothbore cannon's caliber was only 130mm, right? 115mm and 130...
Well, to be honest, Mikazuki Augus didn't really understand the difference between the two; being uneducated, he thought the numbers weren't that far apart.
"Okay, that'll do. Can I use it?"
Murrue Ramius glanced at Natarle Badgiruel and Mu La Flaga. Their expressions indicated that she should decide herself, as she was the highest-ranking officer on the battleship.
Moreover, in the current situation, having an extra combatant could only be beneficial.
"No problem. I'll contact the Maintenance Team right now to prepare the smoothbore cannon for you.
Anything else you need?"
"Hmm... do you have the weapon I use here?"
Mikazuki Augus thought for a moment, then asked a question that Orga had already answered for him.
"That weapon that looks like both a hammer and a spear? Unfortunately, your weapon is extremely rare; the Archangel doesn't have one."
Although he had prepared himself for this, Mikazuki Augus was still a bit disappointed. He was most comfortable with such direct and straightforward weapons.
Even though his Mace was still fine, if it were lost or destroyed in future battles due to his rough usage, where would he find a replacement?
So now, he planned to leave the Mace here for dealing with insignificant opponents and deploy with a melee weapon that could substitute for the Mace.
Seeing Mikazuki Augus's somewhat disappointed expression, Murrue Ramius felt a pang of sympathy and couldn't help but say,
"The Strike Gundam's Sword Striker Pack comes with a 15.78-meter Anti-Ship Sword. Can that be used as a substitute?"
"Anti-Ship Sword?"
Murrue Ramius typed on the nearby computer, and the Anti-Ship Sword's data appeared on the screen.
Mikazuki Augus leaned closer, and upon seeing the Anti-Ship Sword, he raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this just like the katana he had used?
Seeing that Mikazuki Augus seemed interested in the Anti-Ship Sword, Murrue Ramius's eyes lit up. She brought up the entire Sword Striker Pack's equipment data and made an excellent suggestion.
"Mikazuki Augus, how about your Mobile Suit uses the Strike Gundam's Sword Striker Pack?
We can modify it for you. We'll mount the smoothbore cannon you want on the side of the right thruster, the Anti-Ship Sword on the left, and then install the Sword Striker Pack's Rocket Anchor and Beam Boomerang on your left arm."
Mikazuki Augus's eyes gleamed as he listened to Murrue Ramius's suggestion.
"Good, let's do that. I'm counting on you."
Seeing the smile blossom on Mikazuki Augus's face, Murrue Ramius's mood also brightened, her earlier somber spirits, caused by the current situation, dissipating considerably. She laughed,
"No problem. In fact, we'll be counting on you to protect us."
With that, she picked up the phone beside her and dialed the busy Maintenance Team on the deck, instructing them to prepare the specially modified Sword Striker Pack for the Gundam Barbatos.
On the deck, the Maintenance Team leader, Kojiro Murdoch, who was busy repairing the Moebius Zero, hung up the phone and looked up at the wolf-like Mobile Suit.
"Modify it to use the Sword Striker Pack, huh? Fortunately, this ship has no shortage of Strike Gundam equipment.
Alright, for our own lives... lads, set aside the Mobile Armor repair for a moment. Quickly prepare the Sword Striker Pack, the 115mm smoothbore cannon, and the Mobile Suit's auxiliary stand! Move it!"
Mikazuki Augus left the bridge to help on the deck. Only Murrue Ramius, Mu La Flaga, and Natarle Badgiruel remained on the bridge.
Watching Mikazuki Augus's figure disappear down the corridor, Murrue Ramius turned to her two colleagues and asked,
"What do you two think?"
Mu La Flaga smiled and spread his hands.
"You've already made your decision, why ask us?"
"Yeah."
Murrue Ramius gave two wry smiles. To be honest, she was still a little confused herself, both about the current situation and about Mikazuki Augus.
