Chapter 135: The visit of an old friend (5000 words)
Iori Makoto and Reiji, who were ranked behind Rai Mingkai, won the first round of eliminations without any suspense. However, due to Rai Mingkai's Tiger and Leopard Rider Zhuyu in front, with the buffer shield and discharge system
The Interstellar Creation Assault Gundam, which was used as a decisive measure, did not cause much of a sensation.
It just caused ripples in the hearts of some thoughtful people.
Of course, this is another story.
For them, who have already won the first knockout round, this is not important.
"Congratulations! Makoto, and Reiji."
When Lei Mingkai and Euphemia left the venue, they happened to bump into Iori Makoto, Reiji and others.
"No, it's nothing. It's just Reiji's control skills!" After receiving such a compliment from Lei Mingkai, Iori Makoto touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Cheng. This is not the time to be humble!" Reiji stared at Lei Mingkai closely, and then pointed his finger at the mask on Lei Mingkai's face.
"Listen here, you guy! Don't lose before the finals! Otherwise, I will lose an opportunity to teach you a lesson!"
Reiji's unabashed provocation made Lei Mingkai couldn't help but smile.
"Okay! If you and Cheng don't lose before the finals, then we'll see you in the finals!"
“It’s a deal!”
Reiji clenched his right fist and stretched it out towards Lei Mingkai.
Lei Mingkai also clenched his fist and collided with Reiji's right fist.
“It’s a deal!”
However, at the next moment, a smirk appeared on Lei Mingkai's mouth.
"But before that, Reiji should pay me back the repair fee for my plastic model of Gundam? You're too harsh, and the bar owner hasn't completely repaired the plastic model of Gundam yet!"
"!!"
As soon as he heard Lei Mingkai's words and saw the evil smile on Lei Mingkai's lips, Reiji immediately woke up and quickly ran away dragging Iori Makoto, who had not yet reacted.
"Hey! Reiji, don't forget!"
Seeing Ling Si running away, Lei Mingkai found it very interesting.
"Asshole! I shouldn't have changed my mind towards you!! Just wait for me!"
Reiji's yelling and cursing reached Euphemia's ears from afar, and at the same time, it also aroused Euphemia's interest.
"Kay. What is the plastic model of Gundam you were talking about just now? I remember that we have already brought out the plastic model of Gundam, right?"
Remington smiled and said slowly, "That was the Gunpla model that Zinnerman took me to when you and Marida were visiting the nearby bar. I bought it from the bar owner."
After Lei Mingkai made some gestures to let Euphemia roughly understand the number of Gundam models, he continued: "At that time, I just wanted to practice my skills. But I didn't expect that Reiji would follow Lamba.
Lar came to the bar behind me. So, I lent him the plastic model of Gundam I bought."
"borrow?"
Euphemia was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously.
"If we fight against the plastic model of Gundam, the model of the plastic model of Gundam will be damaged. Isn't that right?"
At this point, Euphemia suddenly realized.
"Kai, you have such a dark heart. Why did you set a trap for others?"
Euphemia's coquettish look made Lei Mingkai's heart soften. He shook his head slightly.
"No. Actually, I don't want Reiji to give me anything in return. I just want him to owe me a favor. After all, for us and Reiji, nothing is more important than a favor."
"Yeah?"
"Yes." Lei Mingkai gently took Euphemia's little hand, patted it, and blinked.
"Let me tell you a little secret. Reiji, like us, does not belong to this world."
"What? Really?" Euphemia asked in surprise.
"Well, it's true. But Reiji is not a reserve member of the Administration. He is a prince from another world." As he said that, Lei Mingkai looked around.
"Yuffie, it's enough that we know Reiji's identity. For other things, just let them take their own course! If there are any problems, the Management Bureau will naturally handle them."
"Um."
As the two walked out of the venue hand in hand, a horn sounded from one side. Then, a red convertible car slowly stopped in front of Remingkai and Euphemia.
"Kay, Miss Yuffie, congratulations on your first victory. To celebrate this victory, how about I treat you to a meal?"
Sitting in the driver's seat was Aslan.
I saw him raising his hand and taking off the sunglasses on his face, and smiled at Remingkai and Euphemia. As everyone knows, Aslan's handsome appearance, coupled with the luxury convertible car he was driving,
The chemical effect produced caused the girls passing by to scream.
"Haha! Apparently, Aslan, you are still very popular!"
After getting into the car with Euphemia, Remingkai laughed and teased Aslan.
Although Aslan did not say his current age, Lei Mingkai vaguely felt that the Aslan in front of him was not the young Aslan back then. Although Aslan now still has the temperament of a melancholic nobleman,
But overall, he appears to be much more mature.
"Kai, don't make fun of me. Although I look quite young now, this is also the result of super-light travel. In fact, based on earth time, my current age should be around thirty.
How old.”
"No way? Mr. Aslan, you look like you are in your twenties at most." Euphemia covered her mouth, her eyes roaming back and forth on Aslan's face, as if looking for proof.
Evidence of Aslan's actual age now.
"The world is so wonderful! Her Royal Highness Princess Euphemia." Aslan smiled slightly and stopped talking on this topic.
And Remingkai and Euphemia also felt that behind this topic there must be something sad that Aslan was unwilling to bring up. So, after the two looked at each other, they picked some other topics and started communicating again.
Half an hour later, the three people who left the World Series venue arrived at a restaurant located southeast of Shizuoka. From the outside, it didn't look amazing, but when they entered, they were surprised by how full the seats were.
"This place was introduced by an old friend of mine. I also came here yesterday to experience it myself. It is indeed very good. I believe it should also suit your taste."
Aslan showed the order to the waiting waiter who came towards him, and explained to Remingka and Euphemia.
"Hmm. Is this a Chinese-style restaurant?"
After Lei Mingkai glanced at the chopsticks in the hands of the customers sitting at nearby tables, he suddenly remembered the signature Niangniang Restaurant that Lei Mingkai had seen before coming in.
At this moment, Lei Mingkai seemed to have the illusion that something was wrong.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Lei Mingkai remembered that the Empress Hotel seemed to, probably, not appear in this world, right?
"Okay! Let's go! I have already booked a room. You must know that you almost have to queue up to book a room here. I also asked an old friend to be lucky enough to book a room!"
Under the leadership of the waiter, Lei Mingkai and the other three walked through the crowded hall, walked up to the roof, and arrived at the quieter third floor.
"Dear customers, this is Mingyue Pavilion. Please come in!"
As soon as they entered the room, Lei Mingkai and the others were shocked by the full moon hanging on the sea outside the balcony.
"Wow! What a beautiful moon!" Euphemia exclaimed, couldn't help but step forward, quickly came to the balcony, and looked up.
"Kai! Come on! Come on! This is the real moon!"
Reiming Kai smiled softly, nodded to Aslan, and followed Euphemia, standing on the balcony with her. He looked at the full moon slowly rising into the sky.
"Perhaps, this is the reason why this room is called Mingyue Pavilion! In fact, at the beginning, I didn't know why the room here was given the name Mingyue Pavilion. But after I saw this full moon, I
Then I understand.”
After Aslan confirmed the menu with the waiter, he also came to the balcony, looked at the full moon and said.
"Haha. Yes. Maybe, this is the tradition of this hotel!"
At this moment, Lei Mingkai felt as if he had returned to his hometown. From the outside to the inside of this hotel, Lei Mingkai felt as if he had returned to his hometown.
"Traditional? Well, that's what my old friend said too. Okay! Kai, Miss Yuffie, has already started serving the food. Let's talk while eating!"
Aslan looked back and saw that the waiters had opened the door and pushed a dining cart in, then he suggested.
Little did they know that Euphemia was in trouble before she started.
She had never imagined that the tableware in this hotel would be so difficult to deal with.
As soon as Lei Mingkai saw Euphemia struggling with the chopsticks on the table, he suddenly realized something. He quickly called the waiter to change Euphemia into a pair of Western tableware, and then put this almost
The princess came to the rescue after she made a fool of herself because of the use of tableware.
While Euphemia heaved a sigh of relief, Aslan also patted his forehead repeatedly.
"I'm sorry! I was negligent! I thought Miss Yuffie could also use chopsticks. I didn't expect that, anyway, I was negligent! I'm very sorry! Your Highness!"
"No. Don't worry about it, Mr. Aslan. In fact, I have wanted to try Chinese tableware a long time ago. It's just that I have never had the chance. Now I can give it a try." Euphemia shook her head and expressed her disapproval.
Didn't pay attention to it.
Of course Lei Mingkai also gave a few words of help, but the most important task was to use his chopsticks, which he had mastered to the depths of his soul, to pick up food for Her Royal Highness the Princess.
There is no need to say anything more about the topic at the dinner table.
Lei Mingkai and Aslan didn't plan anything big, they just shared the interesting things they usually encountered.
In this harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, the pointer on the wall soon reached seven o'clock in the evening.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang.
"Huh? Our food should be ready?" Aslan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the menu on the left hand side, and then asked.
"What's up?"
"I'm very sorry! I've disturbed all the customers during their meal! Now there are two guests who claim to be the old friends of His Excellency Aslansala. They want to meet with His Excellency Aslansala. I wonder if I agree to their request?"
"Old friend?"
Hearing this, Lei Mingkai put down his chopsticks and looked at Aslan.
Aslan frowned, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head. But he still agreed to the sudden request.
Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of the waiter, two old friends came to the Mingyue Pavilion, but Aslan stood up from his seat in surprise.
"Kira! Kira Yamato!"
Lei Mingkai, who was sitting on the side, was surprised by the name Aslan blurted out. He also noticed the trace of hatred, the complicated and helpless look on Aslan's face.
Euphemia, who also noticed the strangeness, put down the tableware in her hands, turned around and looked at each other with Lei Mingkai, then moved closer to Lei Mingkai, and sat there obediently, watching the drama of the reunion between old friends.
"Long time no see! Aslan, Aslansala."
Under the short brown hair, there are still familiar purple pupils, but that familiar face has a trace of time.
"Really Kira? You, you should already be"
When he became more and more certain that the person who appeared in front of him was his former friend, Kira Yamato, who was also his wife-killing enemy, the complexity on Aslan's face became more intense.
Moreover, in Aslan's memory, Kira should already be in a state no different from a vegetative state. Why does he look like a normal person now?
"You should be paralyzed on the bed, unconscious, right? Aslan. This is also thanks to my wife, Cagalli." Kira smiled softly, gave up half of his body, and stood behind him
, also holding a woman who looked to be a toddler about one or two years old in her arms.
"Cagalli?" Aslan was startled and asked subconsciously: "Is it the Prime Minister of Orb, Cagalli Yura Ashar?"
"No. There are no Orbs anymore. The only thing that exists on Earth is the New Unified Government of Earth. Aslansala."
The woman holding the baby shook her head, with a hint of relief in her voice.
And her answer also shocked Lei Mingkai, who almost screamed.
"What?!!"
"Kira and Cagalli became a couple? And %￥... gave birth to a child? I'll go! What's going on in this world?"
Lei Mingkai suddenly felt that this world was too exciting!!
Compared to the shocked Lei Mingkai, Aslan acted much calmer.
Even if he had seen from the CD given by Lei that he had an unclear relationship with the woman in front of him in a parallel world, it could not disturb his current mind in the slightest.
Now Aslansala only cares about the two women who care about him completely.
"Kira. If I remember correctly, you should be brother and sister, right?"
"Yes, and no." Kira nodded calmly, but then he added: "It all comes down to the adjustment surgery. From the beginning, our genes have been modified. Physiologically speaking, we have not
Any blood relationship."
Kira revealed the truth and the basis for why he and Cagalli became a couple.
"Really?" Aslan nodded and did not continue to struggle. "So, what are you here for today? Kira Yamato."
Seeing Aslan's increasingly unexpected attitude, Kira also flashed a hint of sadness on his face, but he still endured it. Then Kira reached into his pocket, took out a chip, and handed it to Ah
Sri Lanka.
"Aslan. I regret the mistakes I made back then. Maybe you won't forgive me! But I will do my best to make up for my mistakes. This is all I can do at the moment."
"What's this?"
Aslan was silent for a while, looking at the chip in Kira's hand and refusing to take it for a long time.
"This may be a clue that can fulfill your wish. Aslan, I know your intention to return. So, please let me help you this time!" Kira stepped forward and sent the chip to Aslan.
Said sincerely.
Aslan still did not take the chip, but shook his head and raised his hand to push the chip back.
"That's it! Kira. Now, I can only be quiet in this world. Let's talk about the future things in the future."
"Aslan!"
Kira was about to speak, but was stopped by Cagalli who was standing behind him.
"Aslansala. Maybe you are still resentful because of the mistakes we made back then, but please be sure to contact us after you calm down. We may really have clues to make your wish come true."
After saying these words, Cagalli put a business card on the table and pulled Kira, who looked unwilling, out of the Empress Hotel.
"I made you laugh! Kai, Miss Yuffie."
After looking down at the business card, Aslan smiled bitterly, looked up at Remingkai and Euphemia and apologized.
"No. This is nothing. On the contrary, we may have hindered you." Reiming Kai and Euphemia shook their heads together.
"No. You are not an obstacle. Thanks to your existence, I have the determination to reject Kira." Aslan sighed secretly and raised his hand several times to tear off the business card, but in the end he carefully removed it.
It was put back in his pocket.
Seeing Aslan's hesitant look, Remingkai and Euphemia glanced at each other, and Euphemia asked softly: "Mr. Aslan, have you had any disputes before?"
"Is it entanglement? Maybe! In the final analysis, it is all about the war and the mistakes we made when we were young and ignorant." Aslan turned back to look at the balcony, but unexpectedly found that the full moon disappeared from the balcony, and Sheng
Arrive at the center of the sky.
"It was a war that lost its meaning, lost all purpose, and only knew killing. In that war, I lost the person I loved most, and Kira also became a vegetative state who couldn't sleep."
Aslan smiled bitterly and slowly began to talk about that painful memory that was unforgettable.
