Chapter 101: Pretty words from pretty people can't solve any problems
"You actually did this with Mirialia and the others?"

A few days after the previous battle of Artemis Fortress, Li Chengzhi had just finished his duty on the bridge.

As he was hungry, he wanted to go to the cafeteria to see if there was anything he could eat before going back to rest.

Then he saw a scene that made him feel horrified.

Wang Hu, who just recently kept saying that Malu and the others were brainless, is now folding paper cranes with Milialia and the others for prayers and condolences?

"I must be too tired to be hallucinating."

"Damn it, I think I should go back and rest early."

With his hands covering his forehead, Li Chengzhi muttered and prepared to turn around and leave, quickly returning to his room.

"Who do you think I am?"

Because of Li Chengzhi's words, Kira and others in the cafeteria looked nervous.

Wang Hu did not wait for Li Chengzhi to leave. He calmly continued with the work at hand and called him.

"Ugh" He pinched the tender flesh on the inside of his thigh again. After feeling the piercing pain, Li Chengzhi finally believed what he saw.

"Puchi." Seeing Li Chengzhi's slightly funny look, the lively Milialia couldn't help laughing.

"Mirialia!"

Seeing this, her boyfriend Thor quickly whispered a reminder, then quickly looked up and smiled at Li Chengzhi who was walking into the cafeteria to express his apology.

He waved his hand to show that he didn't care about the girl's laughter, pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with several people.

Li Chengzhi was still a little dazed as he stared at the thousands of paper cranes that had already been placed on the table.

"You know what this is used for, right?"

Pointing at something on the table, Li Chengzhi stared at Wang Hu's face, paying attention to any of his micro-expressions.

When Kira and the others heard Li Chengzhi's question, their hearts suddenly tightened. In fact, it was related to Wang Hu's scolding of Malu and the others on the bridge that day.

These young men and women also heard something about it, so today they specially chose a time when Wang Hu was theoretically resting to do this.

But they didn't expect that Wang Hu would appear just when they were folding paper cranes. They were prepared to be scolded the moment they saw Wang Hu.

But Wang Hu didn't say much. He just glanced at the work on hand and joined in without saying a word.

At this point they all breathed a sigh of relief, but no one dared to speak and they all just wanted to finish folding the thousand paper cranes as quickly as possible so that they could quietly get over the matter.

"Oh my god." Thor and the others didn't dare to breathe, looking at Li Chengzhi who was talking about things that were not related to the topic, they were so angry that they didn't need to say anything.

"It was used to commemorate the innocent Adjusters who died when we went to Junius 7."

After Wang Hu folded the thousand paper cranes in his hand, he picked up a new piece of paper and started folding.

"Then are you still participating?" Li Chengzhi asked as he folded a piece of paper and reached out to pick it up.

"Am I a born cold-blooded killer?"

Pointing at his nose, Wang Hu asked Li Chengzhi and the rest of Kira and others.

"No, no." He shook his head like a rattle. Kira and the others certainly would not say that Wang Hu was a murderer.

This is not a compliment to Wang Hu. This is Kira and the others' sincere feeling. If Brother Wang Hu is a murderer, then are there still good people in this world?

"Then..." Li Chengzhi threw down the paper cranes he had made, stared at the little guys with smiles on their faces, turned around and asked Wang Hu again.

"That wasn't the case when you scolded Malu and the others before."

"Stupid." Shaking his head, Wang Hu showed an expression of disappointment.

"What does the world look like to you? Is it black and white?"

"If it was Kira and the others who thought so, I could understand, but if you, Li Chengzhi, think the same way, I advise you to go back and hug your father's thigh as soon as possible."

"Let him transfer you out of the army and send you to a place where there is no conflict."

"Hey, Wang Hu, what do you mean by that?" Li Chengzhi's face darkened and he said unhappily.

"I'm just asking why it's stupid."

"I know what you're talking about, isn't it Gray? The victims on Junius 7 are one thing, and the PLANT and ZAFT forces are another."

"Oh, you know." Wang Hu deliberately showed an expression that said, "You're not stupid."

"You!" Wang Hu was really angry. His fingers were shaking as he pointed at Wang Hu. Li Chengzhi really wanted to punch him in the face.

"Brother Wang Hu?" Kira interrupted in this atmosphere.

"So you also think that the Atlantic Federation's actions against Junius 7 were wrong?"

He was careful to choose the word "wrong" when he said this, but in fact it would not be an exaggeration to say "sinful".

"Well, it's wrong and sinful." Kira was avoiding the question, but Wang Hu said it directly.

"Ah!" Except for Li Chengzhi, several little guys shouted out in unison. They really didn't think that Wang Hu would admit it so generously.

"But since they dropped the neutron jammer, causing the deaths of more than a billion people in the Earth Sphere, now the PLANT is righteous?"

The big turning point came, Wang Hu said that cold number again.

"What really makes me angry is that Malu and the others are brainless. Isn't there a saying that if you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, someone else will occupy it?"

"Kira, I told you once on Artemis, right? The two main forces in the current world war are not good guys."

"I understand." Kira nodded, seemingly confused, and once again began to think about the issue of peace. Questioning his heart, he realized the deeper meaning of Wang Hu's words.

The brain is a good thing and you must have it and not give it up and let others decide for you.

But Kira raised his head and looked at Wang Hu who was folding a thousand paper cranes non-stop.

"Brother Wang Hu, the pilot of the Aegis Gundam is called Aslan, and he is my good friend."

He spoke out the things that had been buried deep in his heart today, which was strictly speaking not at an appropriate time and place.

"what?"

Thor, Sei and the others were so frightened that their mouths were wide open enough to fit a fist in. Frey, who was watching quietly, was about to stand up with her hands shaking.

They stared at Kira who seemed to be waiting for trial and groaned in their hearts, Kira, Kira, is it possible to say such things and such words?

It’s enough for you to know this by yourself, you can’t tell anyone else about this!

"Oh, I guessed it."

He glanced at Kira, who looked ready to sacrifice himself, and Thor and the others who were nervous around him.

"Sayyi, sit down and don't try to use your words about who my father is to plead for Kira."

Pointing at Saiyi and telling him not to stand there, Wang Hu was still in the mood to laugh and joke.

"Don't be like some people who cheat on their father. Sometimes it doesn't work to mention your father. If I want, I can always charge you with harboring a spy based on the Kira incident."

"Do you think your father can protect you? If you act any more cruelly, even your father himself will be caught and shot at."

"Ah?" After hearing what Wang Hu said, Saiyi blushed and had to sit down awkwardly.

When did I become a jerk?
But it seems that I have mentioned my father's name too much recently, so I shouldn't do that next time.

"It has nothing to do with Saiyi and the others. They didn't know about it before."

Seeing that Wang Hu seemed to be pointing the finger at Saiyi who was trying to protect himself, Kira quickly stood up and wanted to prove his friend's innocence in his own way.

"You sit down too. Did I tell you what to do with you?"

Wang Hu pointed at Kira again, signaling him not to be so nervous.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wang Hu." Kira sat down hesitantly.

"Oh." Wang Hu sighed and a helpless look appeared on his face.

"Don't think I'm crazy just because I scolded Maru and the others on the bridge, okay?"

"That's not the case." Saiyi, Kira and the others hurried to explain.

"Okay, listen to me." Wang Hu waved his hand to tell them to shut up.

"Everything in the world has two sides. A person's words and deeds are based on their own standpoints. In layman's terms, it depends on whether this person is doing something beneficial."

"Of course I don't deny that there are saints in this world who sacrifice themselves for others, but isn't the reputation of this saint a good thing?"

"Then again, what does it mean that Kira couldn't do anything to Aslan?"

"Spy? But Kira was originally forced by us adults to pilot the Strike Gundam, right?"

At this point, Wang Hu, who always showed a sense of omnipotence, showed a trace of loneliness on his face.

"As an adult, I let a boy like Kira fight. Now, what I am saying here makes me feel sick."

"but."

Wang Hu handed the newly folded paper crane to Kira, and Kira looked at the paper crane handed over by Wang Hu.

Kira took it blankly but didn't know what expression to show.

"I'm sorry, Kira. Please, Kira."

"Brother Wang Hu!" Kira's emotions collapsed after hearing Wang Hu's last words.

He cried loudly while holding the paper crane, and no matter how Milialia and the others tried to comfort him, it was of no use.

All the experiences during this period of time and all the emotions that had been pent up in his heart were now completely vented out in front of Wang Hu.

"Brother Wang Hu, what should I do?" With hazy eyes, Kira asked the person he trusted.

"Ask yourself." Wang Hu clapped his hands and stood up.

"When you hand over your decision-making power to others, you will regret it one day."

"So I don't want to say if you can't make a decision, just trust the person you trust."

"Kira, the only pretty words in this world from pretty people can't solve any problems."

“Do it, as long as it’s what you want to do in your heart, even if it’s wrong.”

"At least you won't resent the person who gave you the advice later in life."

　Since it was put on the shelves at six in the morning, it has just achieved an average order of 500. Perhaps in the eyes of others this is a very small achievement that is not worth mentioning.

　　But in my eyes it's already amazing, so I'll add two chapters to thank you all for reading my mediocre novel.

　　I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all. I will only update four chapters a day for the next two days.
