Login with GoogleChapter 84: A Decent Man
Villkiss flew at full speed in the afterglow of the sunset. Ade desperately held Ange's waist, afraid that even a slight release will make him fall from Villkiss.
"This is not a small plane at all, this is a motorcycle, right?!" Because the voice in the gale decayed very much, he shouted in Ange's ear, "It doesn't have the seat belt and also is draughty in the wind, don't you feel cold?"
"You don't need to shout so loud, I can hear you." Ange slowed Villkiss down a little, "Thanks for your concern, I'm not cold."
"Who cares about you? I'm the one who's cold!" Ade freezing in the cold wind, could not help but hug Ange a little tighter again. Ange's driving suit didn't cover her abdomen, so he covered her warm stomach with his arm, "…What a surprise, you don't have eight pieces of abs!"
"I'll throw you down if you say one more word!" Ange uncomfortably squirmed in place, "Don't move your hands, not up not down!"
Dr. Lingus, as a decent man, had no intention of taking advantage of her in this situation, but only subconsciously hugged her tightly because of the excessive excitement of this type of transportation. Alice did not follow them, but lurked at the bottom of the sea near that deserted island - nanobot and Gundam are waterproof, so it will not affect the automatic repair.
He trusts Friday, but he doesn't trust Friday's intelligence. He doesn't know what the situation on the island is, so he can't expose Alice at present.
"Well, Ade." Ange suddenly asked. Her tone sounded a bit melancholy, "I just killed someone, right?"
He immediately understood that this was the first time Ange had taken another person's life. Although he himself didn't feel anything when he first killed people, after all, Ange was a girl. Her mind would be more sensitive, right?
He thought about it and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "You were forced to kill a bad guy to save a good guy, and from beginning to end, you were under my command. The kill should be counted on me."
"But I was the one who did it myself." Ange still felt a little upset, "And what kind of good guy are you…"
"Of course, it's the person who kills with the gun that committed the crime, not the gun." He answered rightfully, "What you were doing was just something similar to what a gun does. Don't overthink it, you can't understand it with your IQ."
"You're the one with a low IQ! I have a high IQ, higher than any of my teammates!" But Ange soon quieted down, "It's your fault, I will stop to think."
"Your teammates have a lower IQ than you?" He pretended to say in a sad tone, "Then I can't have a harem on the island. It's illegal to make love with retards."
"Are you through?!" Ange immediately blew up again, "And you've accidentally said what's on your mind again! It's true that you want to have a harem!"
After finding that Ange did not continue to dwell on the issue of killing someone with her own hands, he hummed softly without saying anything. Ange also seemed to understand something. She did not speak again. After a while, the two arrived at Arsenal and Villkiss slowly landed on the tarmac.
"Ange! Where have you been? We almost counted you as a deserter, you know?!" Before the cockpit was opened, they heard a young girl's angry yell from outside, and then the cockpit opened, "Man, man? What, what's the situation?"
Ade let go of Ange and rolled down from Villkiss, only to see a young girl with two ponytails standing not far away, and behind her stood a lot of people in a dense crowd. It seemed that everyone was waiting for Ange to return.
"You're quite popular, so many people waiting for you." He whispered to Ange, then walked to the twin ponytail girl and saluted, "Hello, my name is Adrien Lingus, I am a Norma from the outside world. I accidentally landed on a nearby deserted island and was picked up by Ange. Sorry for the trouble I caused you guys."
"Hello, my name is Salia, and I'm Ange's squadron leader." The young girl politely returned the salute, "Don't worry, it was Ange who caused the trouble. Please don't mind."
"Hello, Salia, it's so lucky to meet such a polite girl in a time of trouble." Ade gave her a gentleman's smile. Unlike Ange, this girl was obviously a very well-educated girl, "Excuse me, are you in charge? Then let me explain to you what happened. Ange may not be able to say it clearly."
"I'm not in charge, you're too polite." Salia saluted again, "Commander Gil and Inspector Emma are in charge here, I can introduce you to them."
While speaking, he keenly noticed a young woman in the back row of people. She was dressed differently from everyone else and showed a surprised expression as if she knew him. What's even more interesting is that there was a young girl in the crowd wearing a maid's outfit, most likely the Momoka that Ange was talking about, and in his consciousness, she was actually a NewType, but she herself seemed to be unaware of it.
Ange glared irritably at Ade, who was chatting happily with Salia, and muttered to herself, "Long hair, not big boobs…"
"Ange, explain immediately, what's going on?" A woman came over. Salia whispered to Ade that this is Commander Gil, "The Norma of the outside world should be handed over to Misurugi for execution, what kind of place do you take Arsenal for?"
"The same as Momoka then, I bought his right to live here." Ange locked eyes with the commander, "How much is it?"
The commander quoted a number. After thinking for a while, Ange walked over to Salia, "Lend me some money."
"Why?" Salia's quiet look broke at once and she instantly got excited, "That's almost all my savings! I won't lend it to you!"
"Oh, so." Ange shouted in an emotionless voice, "I'm a beautiful Maiden Holy Knight-"
"Wow! Whoa!" Salia covered Ange's mouth immediately, "Borrow! Borrow! I'll let you borrow as much as you want!"
"You hear that, so there's that." Ange looked at Ade smugly, "I bought your right to live in Arsenal, you are now my personal property."
At that moment, another group of girls came, probably because they heard Ange had brought a man back and all came to see him for fun. He heard the conversations from the crowd, such as, "Although he is not as handsome as… he is also not bad…", "I do not dare to go alone, let's go together…", "Get out of the way, let me come first "and so on and so forth, which made Ade had a chill with sweat streaming down his back.
"…I hope to see Gundam, any type is fine." He said to himself with his hand on his forehead feebly, "I always feel that I just transmigrated into another anime."
In fact, he was very willing to be brought to this place by Ange, not for the girls, but for the opportunity to pry information from the inside. The information Ange gave almost shattered his worldview, which he could not accept in any way. The dragons and superpowers she said were too bizarre, and it was his responsibility to ensure a safe worldview for the important people around him like C.C., Lacus, and Mineva… and this was something only he could do.
After a bit of fussing, Ade got to know the main characters on the island. Everyone was surprisingly receptive to the whole "buying people" thing. He was then assigned a clean and tidy room, similar to the one described by Ange.
After shooing the noisy girls away, the inspector took Ade to a conference room. She locked the door and stood across from Ade, gave him a military salute, and then sat down, "Hello, Dr. Lingus, I am Lieutenant Emma Sheen of the Gibraltar Base affiliated, TITANS."
Ade opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Her words made him feel that he had immediately transmigrated back.
"Doctor, I know you have a problem with Colonel Scirocco, but it's urgent, so please hear my explanation first." Emma stopped him from asking and continued, "A year ago, I was ordered by Colonel Scirocco to carry out a secret mission in Misurugi with two teammates. After we arrived here, we were attacked by an unknown black Gundam. My teammates were killed, and I was unfortunately captured. The Gundam was very strong that we were taken down in one shot."
"An unknown Gundam?"Ade thought of Villkiss, "I thought this place has only PM."
"That was misinformation, there was at least one black Gundam-type MS in Misurugi, and a red MS that was suspected to be capable of shape-shifting," continued Emma, "I met Misurugi's supreme after being deprived of all means of communication, not the king, but a mysterious man named Embryo. I was sent here after gaining his trust."
"Another unheard of character has appeared, the man behind the kingdom." Ade silently thought in his heart, "According to the general plot, this probability is the final BOSS of this drama. Important information."
"I have basically gained the trust of these young girls here during this year, but have not been able to find a way to leave." Emma looked at him apprehensively, "Doctor, I want you to temporarily put aside your preconceptions about TITANS and work with me to find a way to leave."
Here comes the biggest advantage to being a transmigrator. Ade knows that Emma is probably a "good guy", a person he can cooperate with. If it's not Emma but Katejina Loos in front of him, he would probably make a confused face and run away secretly.
He pretended to hesitate for a while before speaking slowly, "I have no idea how to leave, but I agree to cooperate with you for the time being. My only condition is to share information with me, especially in detail about that unknown Gundam and this Embryo."
Emma breathed a sigh of relief. Her greatest fear was that the doctor would refuse to cooperate because of Scirocco, "Of course, it's so lucky to meet one of our own in such a bizarre place."
After a long chat with Emma, it was already time for bed. He didn't want to look for Ange at this time, so he just returned to the room assigned to him and thought on the bed. Emma's description of the dragons and superpowers is similar to Ange's, so he could only obtain more information after actually seeing them.
About Embryo, in addition to his disgusting speech and behavior, he didn't show any useful information in front of Emma. Before he could do anything, he must figure out the purpose and means of this Final BOSS in advance, in case that Embryo is another Creuset.
And the two MS in Emma's description, he had an unreliable guess about the red one, but no matter how to say this, it was too unscientific. He shook his head, thinking he must have guessed wrong. As for the black one, he was completely clueless because it sounded not like any Gundam he knew. He rummaged through his memories, gradually getting sleepy and eventually sinking into sleep.
Under the moonlight, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Ade's room. This person in a well-made green suit playfully surveyed Ade.
"Is this NewType? I finally have a chance to see it up close." He seemed to be murmuring to himself or to someone, "Just as you predicted, very interesting existence. It seems my understanding was a little wrong. Mana is a failure."
Ade rolled over in his sleep, from lying on his side to lying on his back, revealing his senseless and sleepy face.
"Being entangled by the fate called Gundam. It's much like you." The man walked to Ade's bedside and unconsciously put his fingertips towards Ade's cheeks, "Even his eyebrows and eyes look like you. My 'old friend', how can this not make me miss you?"
At the moment his fingertips were about to touch Ade, the man suddenly disappeared into nowhere, and almost at the same moment, Ade opened his eyes. He rolled over and sat up, looking around, only moonlight spilling through the window into the room, no sign of anyone's presence. He rushed out of the doorway and looked to the left and right, and there was no sign of anyone in the corridor.
"What the hell." He sat back on the edge of the bed and fumed, "My NT radar can't be wrong, so it was … well, a night crawling from a girl?"
Feeling that he had come to the right conclusion, Ade lay down in bed. It was only early in the morning and he was still very sleepy, so he quickly fell asleep again.
The next morning, Ade was awakened by Ange and brought to the canteen. The maid girl had been respectfully followed by Ange's side. Looking at the young girls in the canteen, all wearing revealing uniforms, Ade once again felt that he should be transmigrated to some kind of r18 anime.
Ange took two breakfasts and placed one in front of him, "You're my private property now, they won't attack you, probably, and I won't let you starve to death."
"Thanks, I have to eat and use your things." Ade looked around, "Are you sitting alone? Shouldn't you sit with your teammates while eating and talking?"
"Don't worry about it, I get along fine with them." Ange sat down across from him, "I have Momoka. It's fine just like that."
"Relationship problems among troubled girls, I see." Ade nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, I'll help you with that before I run away, just as a favor to you. I'm very good at educating children, and have had very successful cases."
"Just find an excuse to talk to girls, I've seen through your ruse." Ange grunted, "If you were pressed to the ground by them, I wouldn't come to save you."
After the meal, Ange went to her routine training. With nothing to do at present, Ade came to Momoka. There was one important thing on her that needed to be verified - what Mana is, and why is she marked as a NewType by his NT radar.
Although the one in front of him was a maid in white silk, he immediately got rid of these unnecessary thoughts after thinking of C.C. and Lacus, "Hello, Miss Momoka."
"Hello, Mr. Ade, please just call me Momoka." The maid girl politely raised a bow, "You are Her Highness Angelise's only male friend, so please get along with Her Highness."
Although this maid girl was so cute, understanding, and thoughtful for her master, he definitely didn't have any messy thoughts, "Momoka, I would like to ask you to do me a favor, it's an extremely important matter."
"May I ask what it is?" The maid folded her hands in front of her body and tilted her head slightly, showing a puzzled expression.
"I would like to ask you to accompany me to study the nature of Norma and Mana, which is related to the stability of the world and the future of humanity." He put on the most upright smile he could manage, "I am a decent person, and I will never do anything strange. I just want you to cooperate with me in a few experiments that are purely for scientific purposes."
