The Chapter get Retranslated

Mikazuki Augus glanced at the washing machine; there were still three minutes left. Just as he was about to wait a bit longer, the soldier from the drying room floated out with a small box and smiled, "Mikazuki Augus, the Captain ordered that once your clothes are washed, they should be immediately sent to the drying room. After drying, they will be sent directly to your room. No need to wait here."

"Oh, I see. Thank you for your trouble."

"It's nothing. Oh, right, these are the things from your clothes pockets. The Captain has already sorted them out for you."

Saying this, he handed the box to Mikazuki. Opening it, Mikazuki saw the remaining dates from his coat pocket and his earpiece.

He had been worried earlier in the bathhouse that these dates might accidentally get thrown into the washing machine with his clothes.

"Thank you."

"If you want to thank anyone, thank the Captain, but I don't think you need to. You saved us, didn't you? It's really laughable, actually, to be put under house arrest by our own comrades."

The soldier's tone held a hint of self-mockery.

Mikazuki put the dates into his pocket, looked up, and said, "It wasn't house arrest. They wanted to kill all of you. Everyone on the Archangel."

The soldier's pupils constricted.

"What?!"

On the bridge.

Murrue Ramius, Nataru, and Mu La Flaga were discussing what to do next. There wasn't much drinking water left on the ship, and resupply was the most important thing. Otherwise, let alone returning to Lunar Headquarters, they would die of thirst before the ZAFT Military even caught up to them.

Gerard Garcia slowly woke up again. The bullet wounds on his body had stabilized, but the first thing he did upon waking was to look around for Mikazuki. Only when he saw no trace of Mikazuki on the bridge did he relax.

He shouted at Murrue and the others who were gathered in front, "Murrue Ramius, what are you doing? Hurry up and release me!"

Murrue, who was troubled about what to do next, frowned upon hearing the annoying voice and turned her head. Gerard Garcia was floating there, staring at her with an ugly expression.

"Rear Admiral, you don't seem to understand the situation yet. Artemis is gone."

"What? Artemis is gone? Hahahaha, Captain Ramius, are you joking? No one in this world can break through Artemis's light-layer defense network. You say my fortress is gone, that truly makes me laugh my teeth off!"

Gerard Garcia seemed to have heard the funniest joke of his life and laughed loudly with his head tilted back, but the pain from his wounds made him stop laughing and gasp for air.

Mu La Flaga walked up to Gerard Garcia and tossed his tablet. The tablet bounced off Gerard Garcia's head and floated in front of him.

"You scoundrel, you..."

"See for yourself what happened while you were unconscious. Because you wouldn't believe anything we said, would you?"

Mu La Flaga shrugged and leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms.

Gerard Garcia wanted to say something else, but his expression froze when he saw the images on the tablet. The words he wanted to speak were swallowed back.

Ten minutes later, Gerard Garcia was floating limply in the air, staring blankly ahead.

"How could... my... Artemis... gone..."

Murrue said coldly, "That's your 'absolute,' as you called it. Thanks to you, the Archangel's resupply didn't happen, wasting precious time."

"You... why didn't you engage? As fellow members of the Earth Alliance, you fled from battle! You'll face a military tribunal, you scoundrels!"

Murrue's face darkened.

"Military..."

Whoosh

The bridge door slid open. Mikazuki, casually wearing an Earth Alliance military jacket, floated in, under Gerard Garcia's horrified gaze.

"D-devil..."

Mikazuki hadn't noticed at first, but after hearing the stammering remark, he turned his head.

"Hmm? What is it? You're still alive? I thought you would have been thrown out by now."

"Devil, it's all because of you! If you hadn't suddenly appeared, how could my Artemis have been attacked? It's all your fault!"

"Bold words," Mikazuki's gaze turned cold. He reached for his waist, and a handgun appeared in his hand, its barrel pointed at Gerard Garcia. "I don't mind giving you another shot."

"Wait, Mikazuki, he's an Earth Alliance Rear Admiral!" Murrue quickly stepped forward to stop him, but Mikazuki brushed her hand away and said in an unapproachable tone, "It doesn't matter who he is to me, because he's an enemy. And he was planning to kill all of you. Why keep him alive? Do you want to be destroyed?"

"Kill us? What do you mean?" Nataru caught the important part of Mikazuki's words and quickly asked.

Mikazuki glanced at her indifferently, stating, "He wanted to hijack this warship and the Gundam. He planned to get all the data for the warship and the Mobile Suits, understand it, and then eliminate everyone on this warship, including the civilians."

Murrue's eyes blazed as she looked at Gerard Garcia. "Is that true, Rear Admiral?"

Gerard Garcia immediately broke into a cold sweat, denying it in a panic, "Don't talk nonsense! I am a Rear Admiral of the Eurasian Federation. How could I attack my own comrades?"

Mikazuki tilted his head. "Nonsense? This is what I heard from the guy who appeared outside my room. Is it false?"

"Ugh..." Gerard Garcia now wished he could find that talkative scoundrel and shoot him a hundred, a thousand times.

Damn it, why couldn't he keep his mouth shut? Had the military's confidentiality regulations been eaten?

"That... that was just him talking nonsense. It's not true, yes, it's nonsense. How could I possibly lay hands on my fellow Naturals?"

Murrue and Nataru exchanged glances, both seeing the dilemma in the other's eyes. What should they do? Keep this Rear Admiral, or...?

Before they could come up with a solution, four gunshots rang out clearly on the bridge, followed by a calm, indifferent voice.

"So... killing him was the right thing to do..."
