"Alaska is here, we are here now. We have landed in a very tricky place, completely within the zaft's sphere of influence." In the captain's lounge, Mu held a coffee cup in one hand and pointed to the hanging on the wall in front of him. On the world map of major states, the regions represented by two colors are said.

"Libyan Desert." Ito Cheng, who leaned back against the pillar of the bed next to him and clasped his hands on his chest, said softly as he looked at the map painted red, representing the location of the Archangel's landing area.

"I couldn't help it. I couldn't just watch the Strike Gundam get separated like that." Mariu, who was sitting behind the desk and also holding a coffee cup in his hand, said softly with a look of reminiscence.

"In short, the goal and destination of this ship remain unchanged." Malu put the coffee cup down on the table and played with the hair on his forehead with one hand, saying emotionally.

"It's okay." Mu turned around and looked at Ma Liu and asked with concern.

"Yes." Ma Liu responded simply.

"Is the deputy captain okay?" Mu continued to ask with concern.

"It's okay." Ma Liu looked up at Mu beside him and said with a smile.

"That's good." Mu raised his hand to finish the coffee that had already bottomed out in the cup, put the empty cup on the table, stood up and said, "I'll go check on the child and see how he's doing. I'll go to bed. And you should go to bed early, too. If you stay so tired, you won't be able to do anything."

After saying that, Mu left the captain's lounge.

"Don't worry, that kid Kira is fine." Ito Cheng straightened up from the pillar he was leaning on and lowered his arms. He walked around the table and walked to Malu's side. He leaned his butt on the edge of the table and put his left hand on the table. He tilted his head and looked down at Malu to comfort him, "Since you have landed on the earth, you can go back to Alaska sooner or later."

"I know." Malu whispered.

"Now that you know, why are you still looking so sad?" Ito Cheng said, reaching out his right hand to hook Maru's chin, and raised her head to look at him. smiled.

"Don't be ridiculous." Malu rolled his eyes at Ito Cheng angrily, raised his hand and knocked off Ito Cheng's right hand that was hooked on his chin, and said angrily.

"Okay. Don't mess around." Ito Cheng shrugged, and then, under the astonished gaze of Malu, he leaned over and hugged her in his arms, walked around the table and walked to the bed next to him. He gently laid Ma Liu down, then looked down at Ma Liu, who was still looking at him in astonishment, and chuckled, "That guy Mu is right, it seems you really need to take a good rest."

As he spoke, he reached out and brushed the messy hair on Ma Liu's forehead, and suddenly leaned forward and kissed Ma Liu's lips that had been slightly open in shock...

"Me~" Maru instinctively let out a muffled scream when she was suddenly attacked by Ito Cheng.

"Hmm~ It smells like bitter coffee. Drink less of that in the future. It's not good for your health." After a moment, Ito Cheng raised his head slightly and looked at Maru with a blush on his face. Then he looked at the latter's angry look. Quickly straighten up in se. With a slight smile on his face, he said, "Okay, I won't disturb your rest. Good night, my dear Malu."

After saying that, he quickly exited the captain's lounge and disappeared behind the door.

"This bastard." Malu cursed in a low voice while lying on the bed in the room.

…

"The earth is gone. Well, let's contact Chen Deren again." Ito Cheng thought to himself as he walked out of the captain's lounge and licked his lips with his tongue. Immediately, he walked slowly to the middle section of the Archangel, to the corridor with a huge viewing window, and took out the communicator from the Rubik's Cube World. Contacted Chen Deren.

"Hey, sir." Soon, Chen Deren's voice came from the phone.

"Chen Deren, there is no need to collect the information I mentioned before. From now on, help me collect the nuclear fuel on the earth. Collect as much as you can, and then send it to Orb and hand it over to me before April 12th. Do you understand?" Ito Cheng said.

"Understood, sir." Chen Deren agreed immediately, and judging from his tone of agreement, he was obviously much more relaxed than when he first received the contact. Obviously, Chen Deren is in favor of the decision not to collect information that is extremely expensive and difficult to obtain.

After hearing Chen Deren's agreement, Ito Cheng simply turned off the communication, put away the communication device, stood in the corridor and looked out at the night outside the window...

After a while, Ito Cheng, who felt a little bored, turned and left the corridor and came to the Gnaku, where he happened to meet Mu who was inspecting the new machine body.

"Hey, you're here too." Ito Cheng raised his hand and greeted Mu.

"Are you here to see the machine too?" Mu turned to look at Ito Cheng who walked in and said.

"Well, after all, I am my next fighting partner. Why don't we get to know each other well? What if I suddenly get angry with me?" Ito Cheng walked to Mu's side and patted the blue and white body painted in the atmosphere. The nose of the fighter jet [Skymaster] smiled.

"A master like you who is fighting Gundam alone still cares about this?" Mu joked.

"That was in the universe, and you can play whatever you want without the influence of gravity. Now here on earth, I'm not afraid of anything on land, but high in the sky... I haven't evolved to the level of a birdman yet." Ito Cheng said meaningfully.

"Haha, too." People like Mu didn't understand the profound meaning of Ito Cheng's words at all, so they didn't even hear it. They just thought that Ito Cheng was telling a joke and laughed very cooperatively. (first release)

"How is it?" Ito Cheng took back his hand on the nose of the machine and turned to look at Mu and asked.

"Didn't you read the user manual?" Mu looked at Ito Cheng in surprise and asked.

"Not yet." Ito Cheng shook his head.

"How should I put it? It's a very interesting machine. It can even be equipped with the equipment of Strike Gundam. It seems that we will have to be couriers in the future." Mu looked at the [Skymaster] in front of him and joked.

"It's the captain's... ah, no, if it's the major, I believe he can reach anywhere safely." Cojero Maddock, the squad leader on the side, said jokingly.

"Although it is recommended by Admiral Halbarton, promotion under such circumstances..." Mu looked at Cogelo Maddock and said.

"Mu, am I saying you are showing off? You know. Compared with the situation where you all promoted to one level, I only shortened the promotion time and punished it by one year. How can I feel embarrassed for you, a guy like you who still complains after being promoted? ?" After hearing Mu's words, Ito Cheng on the side complained in a depressed tone.

"Sorry, sorry." Mu Ye remembered that there was a guy next to him who was the only one on the ship who had not been promoted. He apologized quickly, and then continued, "The salary increase is indeed very satisfying."

"But there is no time to spend." Kroger Maddock, who was checking whether the fixed facilities were safe, said, "Those boys are all on the front line. Especially that kid is already a second lieutenant, but who calls him a driver?" Where is the member?"

"Ah, the others are all privates too. Really..." Mu said as he checked the condition of the machine.

"Hahaha, I'll be able to stand alone soon." Cojero Maddock smiled after checking the fixed facilities. "Speaking of which, has the child's fever gone?"

"I retreated in the morning. I really don't know whether to say that the Strike Gundam is powerful or that kid's body is powerful." Mu climbed onto the [Sky King] and replied while observing the situation in the cockpit, then turned to look at Kejie Luo Madoc asked in confusion, "By the way, do you know why Kira always calls that thing a gundam?"

"Ah~ that's what appears on the startup screen. The continuously enhanced mobile weapon mechanism is widely used in all fields. The first letters are read together. In the army, the first letter is used as the title," explained Kroger Maddock. road.

"However, don't you think the name of that organization is a bit exaggerated? All-field, universal, continuous strengthening... It seems that none of these three words are simple. When put together, has such an exaggerated name ever appeared on earth? A scientific research institution?" Ito Cheng, who was reading the user manual at the side, suddenly said.

"If you don't tell me you haven't noticed, it's really an exaggerated title." Mu said.

"Indeed." Kroger Maddock also agreed.

"I've finished reading. I understand almost everything. Let's start setting it up now." Ito Cheng closed the user manual in his hand and looked at the [Sky King] in front of him and said.

Then he walked to the side of a [Sky King], stretched out his feet and kicked on the steps in front of him, turned over and fell into the cockpit. He pulled the system keyboard in front of the operating table and started operating.

"Shh! Beautiful." Seeing Ito Cheng's clean and neat movement on the plane, Mu whistled, then made a fist with his right hand and praised Ito Cheng.

Regarding Mu's praise, Ito Cheng smiled at him very indifferently, and then continued to lower his head to adjust the system parameter settings of [Air King].

"With your skills, if you encounter land, can you defeat it with MS?" Mu put his hands on the edge of the cockpit of the [Sky King] he was riding on. Looking at Ito Cheng, he asked curiously.

"It's probably OK if there is a small beam sword for individual soldiers." Ito Cheng paused with his hands while modifying the basic settings and said.

"So, you are just like a small mobile phone? I suddenly feel that you are more monster than Kira." Mu exclaimed.

"What's so strange about this? There are countless talented people on the earth, and I only know a few of them who can do this. You will be surprised when I can dismantle Gundam and play in the universe." Ito Cheng said. He said disdainfully.

"You said there are many people like you on earth who can fight Gundam alone as long as they are properly equipped?" Mu and Kroger looked at each other and said in surprise.

"Well, let's not talk about other countries. Just talking about the East Asia United, there are not many people with this kind of skill. After all, there used to be a place where the sect was successful." Ito Cheng explained.

"Sect?" As a European and American, and a person from the CE era, I don't understand anything about this kind of Eastern thing before the AD era, so I said to myself with doubts on my face.

"An organization that inherits kung fu, if you want to use any description, is probably similar to some small multi-functional functional departments of Zheng Fu." Ito Cheng explained.

"Kung Fu?" Kroger Maddock said thoughtfully, "Is it the kind of good-looking thing often seen in old movies?"

"Well... what you are watching is a product of movie processing. Real kung fu is not like that. It is just like the fighting skills in the military. It is a killing technique, and it is much more complicated and dangerous than the fighting skills in the military. "Ito Cheng looked at Cogelo Maddock in astonishment and explained.

Afterwards, Mu, who understood new vocabulary such as kung fu and martial arts, chatted with Ito Cheng and, like Ito Cheng, began to adjust various system data of [Sky King]. It's just that this adjustment lasted overnight. By the time the two of them finished adjusting the data, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning on February 15th.

"Huh~ I finally got part of it done. I'll do the rest when I have time at night." Ito Cheng, who pressed the last confirmation key, lifted up the keyboard, stuffed it back and put it away. He turned off the adjusted system and got up and jumped out of the car. He raised his head and said to Mu, who was still busy, "I'm going to go back to sleep first."

"Well, you go to bed first, I'll probably have to wait for a while." Mu said without raising his head.

"Okay, see you later." Ito Cheng greeted, turned and left Gnaku, returned to his own bedroom, and fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes.

When Ito Cheng woke up again, it was already night. Ito Cheng, who had simply washed himself, went straight to the bridge after dinner and met Bucky Lulu who was on duty.

"Hey, Natal, how was your rest?" Ito Cheng walked up to Bucky Lulu, put his left elbow on her shoulder, and asked playfully.

"Very good." Baji Lulu spit out the straw in her mouth, leaned slightly, and said softly.

"Don't be so cold." Ito Cheng turned his head and looked at Bucky Lulu's side face, pretending to be depressed.

Just when Bucky Lulu was about to speak, a rapid "didi beep" sound suddenly sounded in the bridge. Everyone who was familiar with this sound immediately looked at Kaz who was monitored by the radar. But whether it was because he was too nervous or because he was not proficient in business, Kaz, who was being watched by everyone, looked at the radar screen in front of him with a bewildered expression, unable to start.

Fortunately, there was another radar officer on duty in the bridge, and he was heard to report urgently, "This ship is locked by laser. It is determined to be an enemy lock!"

As he finished speaking, a rapid alarm sounded immediately within the Archangel ship, waking up the sleeping combatants from their dreams and rushing to their respective posts.

"Hey~ It's really unpleasant to have to go into battle just after waking up." Ito Cheng curled his lips, turned around and ran out of the bridge room, rushing towards Gnaku. If there is no gravity in the universe, Ito's speed may be affected, but there is no such problem on the earth, so it didn't take long for Ito to reach the Gnaku.

"How's it going? Can we attack?" Ito Cheng, who had driven out the Gnaku, found the maintenance squad leader Coggero Maddock who was nervously adjusting various airframe data of the [Skymaster] and asked.
