"It always feels... It's completely different from the previous mission, 2B." 9S, who jumped out of the roof, performed a double jump, grabbed the lower end of the auxiliary machine to glide, and flexibly passed the barrier and landed, suddenly said.
"...Where?" Still operating in the shabby and ruined city, still dealing with wandering mechanical lifeforms, still carrying out tasks in a small team, 2B doesn't feel that there is any change from before.
"Mood, mood," 9S patted his chest, trying to put on the brightest smile on his face, "Before we performed the mission, we were lifeless, just a few words 2B, you'll be 'this has nothing to do with the mission', 'cyborg Can't express feelings'—ah."
"...Sorry." Even though his eyes were covered with black cloth-like "tactical goggles", 2B still showed a clearly sad expression.
The boy accidentally stepped on the thunder.
Because of his own restraint, 2B did not reveal his real mission in the end, but 9S could vaguely guess the answer. I can't talk about forgiveness or forgiveness. The 9S type body that was killed before has nothing to do with him now. It can even be said that if the previous type 9S body was not killed, he can't exist here now... Of course It's not that he didn't care at all. How did 2B look at himself before, which made Sichun feel a little flustered. If the goddess in my heart regards herself as an enemy the whole time, it will be too desperate, right
But obviously the psychological problems on 2B's side are more serious. She feels a lot of guilt towards 9S. In fact, all those cold words before were aimed at keeping 9S away from herself. Killing a stranger is better than killing a close friend and protecting herself in disguise The mind... Now 9S accidentally complains about this point, which inevitably reminds her of the past.
"I mean, now we don't need to care about those rules, we can talk about other things, and Lord Leeds also encourages us to express our feelings," 9S tried his best to make amends, forcing the topic back, "and we now have a place to go back, There are also people who are serving in front of you, and there is hope for the future! Everything is different!”
The truth of "Project Yoba" gave them despair, and Leeds gave them hope.
At present, it is [Hope] that fully covers [Despair].
"...But before that, we have to live." 2B, who was in a bad mood, gave her answer in her style.
"Say, that's true, um." 9S was also backed up by this sentence. He didn't know how to continue this topic that should have been talked and laughed. After thinking about it, he turned to look at the Companion at the forefront, "Miss A2—"
"—You two, annoying." A2 didn't even let 9S finish.
"Uh, hug, sorry."
9S said that he just wanted to guess with others what was in "The Main World"... It's so difficult to chat all day.
…
Neither an artificial human nor a mechanical life form.
Neither in the artificial human group, nor in the group of mechanical beings.
This is the situation of all the members of "Yoba Troop".
Therefore, when Leeds sent them the recruitment information of "apprentice villagers", almost all of them nodded in agreement at the first time... The ones who hesitated for a moment were "the commander who thinks he does not have this qualification" and "has a relationship with the mechanical life form." A2 of blood feud", but in the end they all agreed to be persuaded by others. It is self-evident which is more attractive, whether to be entangled in the past in gray despair, or to challenge the future in colorful hope.
When Leeds and others were on the Gundam expedition, most of the "apprentice villagers" went to the "Main World" for further studies... They called it "training", in fact, everyone knew that this was to keep them from the limelight. It is safest to stay in the "Main World".
However, not all androids went to the "Main World". Liz fooled Adam to the forest kingdom and Eve to the ruins of the amusement park. Half of the reason was to prevent the brothers from following him and making trouble. He didn't want to be regarded as standing on the same camp as the mechanical lifeform. The other half was because he was right. These two places are a bit interested, and what evolutionary body was cultivated in this area by the "mechanical life form network consciousness" that was learned after the incident. But compared to the forest kingdom and the ruins of the amusement park, he actually cares more about the "pacific village".
This is the group of mechanical lifeforms that really abandoned the order of [Destroy the enemy]. Leeds entrusted his trainee villagers to leave a few people to investigate. If the situation is true, he will convey a friendly message by the way—it was originally an investigation in this area. The member's 9S suggested himself, followed by 2B who was with him, and finally added an A2 who had a strong prejudice against mechanical lifeforms.
Through a simple investigation, they found the location of this small village, which was roughly hidden between the giant trees between the ruins of the amusement park and the forest kingdom.
In the end, A2, 2B, and 9S arrived at their destination.
"What the hell is this—?!" The three of them imagined many kinds of pictures of this small village, but they were still frightened by what they saw in front of them.
It's all because the entire village, big and small, is waving the white flag, without exception.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the words "waving the white flag to express surrender", "we won't fight", "we don't want to fight"... At first glance, there is a bit of a strange atmosphere of mechanical life forms in the ruins of the amusement park, but Listening to their speech and language, you will feel that they are still somewhat different from the former who shouted "We are happy".
"!" The three people who were approaching the village cautiously immediately pulled out their weapons and assumed a fighting stance when they found a mechanical lifeform walking towards them.
This is a relatively rare mechanical life form of Taiwan type. It can be regarded as a medium-sized mechanical life form according to its size. Even if it has been in front of the three people, it still waves the white flag in its hand like other mechanical life forms, "We are not enemies, "Yoba" Three of the Troops."
"It's hard to say!" A2 still can't bear the existence of peace-loving mechanical lifeforms. This is why she stayed here on purpose. She hopes to expose this lie with her own hands.
"Miss A2... I'm sorry for what happened to your comrade." The mid-sized mechanical lifeform's tone was clearly apologetic—and that alone was enough to prove it was different.
"You know me?!" All three were shocked.
"Maybe I am a mechanical life form, but I have always exchanged materials and information with the commander of the android resistance army in this area. She informed me of the information you are coming."
"How is this possible?!" The three dared not believe, but this also explained why the villagers of this village would welcome them in this way.
"who are you?"
"My name is 'Pascal' and I am the mayor of this village."
