Chapter 20 Heading to the Sea
"Scared me……"

On the way back in the jeep, Shiro Amada, who was driving, saw that the road ahead was relatively straight, so he sighed and wanted to say something to Eli.

"You know, the military police kept asking me the same questions over and over again, and if I answered them a little differently, they would immediately question me, which made me not want to answer other people's questions anymore."

Shirou Amada sighed and took out an energy bar from under the seat of the jeep and started eating it.

It was obvious that he was very tired after being interrogated.

"You deserve it. Who told you to say those words on the battlefield?"

Eli did not continue to respond to Shirou Amada's complaints.

"You're lucky this time. The other party recognized you, and the purpose of that flying tiger was to drive us off. Otherwise, it would be normal for you to die there accidentally."

Eli covered his face with a magazine to protect himself from the tropical sun.

"But if it happens again, I really can't accept fighting with Aina."

Shiro Amada naturally knew that what Eli said was correct.

Doing that on the battlefield is simply irresponsible.

"…What kind of person is Aina that you can accept her?"

Suddenly, Eli questioned Shiro Amada.

If you ask what kind of person Ina is, Eli can also come to his own conclusion based on the dramas he has watched.

There is no doubt that Aina is a kind person.

But unfortunately, because she caused Kinias to become ill, she was willing to become the latter's bird in a cage, and became Kinias's way to realize his ambitions and the revival of the Sakhalin family.

This is also because Aina is too kind.

Even though she was able to realize that the completion of Apsaras would lead to the deaths of countless people and knew that Zeon's war against the Federation was wrong, she still became a puppet without her own will.

It was difficult for Eli to dislike Ina, as he could tell that Ina was ultimately a victim of the war.

But when it's time to pull the trigger, I won't hesitate.

"I don't know what kind of person she is... It's weird, isn't it, Eli? I only spent a few hours with Aina, and I didn't even know her name until I was about to leave."

Shiro Amada operated the jeep with one hand, and reached into his shirt pocket with the other hand to take out the pocket watch inside.

During the interrogation just now, this pocket watch was searched out and examined carefully.

But when Shiro Tenda was cleared of suspicion and got his gun back, he was met with a mischievous smile from the military police.

"Snapped"

Shiro Amada opened the outer layer of the pocket watch, and a photo was neatly placed inside.

On it was a photo of a man and a woman, and the woman was Aina, whom Shirou Amada was familiar with.

And the other man was naturally Ginis.

However, Shirou was not clear about the relationship between the two and could only sigh to himself.

"Yeah, why."

Shiro Amada himself found it difficult to explain his thoughts, and could only put down the pocket watch in his hand as if mocking himself.

But he still kept it properly and put it in his arms.

"Actually, that person is Aina's brother."

Seeing Shirou Amada's look, Eli told the sad Shirou about this with a smile.

"ha?!!"

As Shirou shouted in disbelief, the front wheel of the jeep hit a rock on the roadside.

As the vehicle took off, Eli smiled a rare, joyful smile.

"You, don't talk to yourself anymore. Say 'thank you, sir' to me!"...

"Do you know how critical the situation is right now? Even a jeep is a piece of supplies that needs to be carefully preserved!"

Captain Kojima got angry, which was rare.

Although he is a new ace pilot who can be praised in Jaburo, Eli can only lower his head like an ostrich and listen obediently to Captain Kojima's scolding.

Because of the two people's noise, the jeep flew into the air and then overturned on the ground.

Fortunately, both people were not seriously injured, but the transmission system of the Jeep was destroyed and it could no longer be driven.

In the end, it was Captain Kojima, who happened to be returning from the base, who picked up the two and brought them back to the base.

"Forget it... Your squads will be merged from now on, and the call signs will have to be changed. For the time being, I want to call you 86. Do you have any ideas?"

Captain Kojima took the glass of water and drank it to moisten his throat which was a little sore from the scolding.

He glanced at the two of them at the same time, waiting for their answers.

"86... Ha, that's a good name."

Shirou Amada looked at Eli, who was smiling strangely beside him, with some confusion. He wanted to suggest changing the order of the two numbers, but he swallowed it back silently.

"Can we call ourselves the Vanguard from now on?"

"No."

"Oh."

Seeing that his proposal was rejected, Eli shamelessly signed his name on some formal documents.

After all, the Vanguard Team's name is too prone to ambiguity in actual combat and is indeed not suitable for use as a call sign.

“…Eli, you have to pay attention to your own safety.”

When Eli handed all the signed documents to Captain Kojima, Captain Kojima pinched a corner of the document and spoke to Eli with an uncertain expression.

What Kojima said was totally incoherent.

Eli looked at the document Kojima was holding.

His finger was pressing on Colonel Ethan's signature.

Eli and Captain Kojima stared at each other for a long time before Eli nodded.

"I know, don't worry."

They said nothing, named nothing.

This is just the boss's concern for his subordinates.

"Very good, then Team 86, follow my orders."

Eli and Shirou Amada both stood at attention immediately.

"Next, we will issue the first mission to 86. You will head east to carry out the order!"

"If we go east here... we're going to Burma?"

Eli inquired, maintaining his standing position.
